WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

This post has been gestating for quite some time. We saw the neo-McCarthyite effort PropOrNot get promoted by Bezos’s paper (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#propornot), Washington Post, and Facebook began erasing sites on PropOrNot’s blacklist (https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/10/13/cens-o13.html). The latest witch hunt is on anti-vaccination activists. Amazon (https://vaxxter.com/amazon-begins-culling-vaccine-media-from-prime/) and Google (https://vaxxter.com/exposing-truth-in-face-of-media-half-truths/) and Facebook (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanhatesthis/facebook-blocking-anti-vax-ads-reducing-newsfeed) are erasing anything anti-vaccination. An informal survey of local MDs showed that none of them believed in vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=784&viewfull=1#post784), but none dare speak out, in these witch-hunt times. What is happening today is strikingly reminiscent of how fluoridation was shoved down the American public’s throat during the original McCarthy era, as an industrial waste was rebranded as “medicine” (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory) by “scientists” working directly for the polluters, and forced on the American public, to this very day.

The medical establishment is corrupt to its core, as even admitted by Lancet’s editor (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=189&viewfull=1#post189), but any challenges to the party line are met with witch-hunting activities, which have been escalating lately. When I read “scientific consensus” on vaccination, I think “Immensely corrupt and naïve scientific consensus.” The booklet that saved my father’s life was banned in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#banned) for being against the “scientific consensus” that we now know was completely wrong, and the scientific consensus has now embraced what it formerly banned, without giving the martyred pioneers any credit, as usual (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#steal).

Tenpenny, as usual, gets the gist of it right (https://vaxxter.com/exposing-truth-in-face-of-media-half-truths/). Vaccinations have not been demonstrated to be either safe or effective, but it is a huge biomedical racket today. Vaccinations are likely iatrogenic, causing as much or more disease than they “prevent.” The germ theory of disease sits on a rickety foundation (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#pasteur). I think that vaccinations are just one of the many insults to the body that industrial life inflicts on people, which compromise immune systems, poison bodies, etc. Autism is an epidemic in the USA (http://tenpennyimc.com/2017/12/06/autism-rates-continue-to-increase/), but any suggestion that it may be due to what the biomedical and agribusiness conglomerates are vending is being met with witch hunt activities. There is some sanity (https://aapsonline.org/measles-outbreak-and-federal-vaccine-mandates/?fbclid=IwAR14tPRiZV1l6KSINFXguIacuJBr68XytbAnxGDNYhGw1q_jjiCkCH_QLBQ) in the medical establishment, but sanity is under siege these days. Grim times.

Hi:

Mr. Professor’s death (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey) sent me into the dark phase of my midlife crisis, but what was worse in ways was the drumbeat for the invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). The invasions of Southeast Asia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early) and Iraq stand as humanity’s two greatest crimes since World War II. It has been more of same lately, as the war drums beat for another “humanitarian (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record)” intervention in Venezuela, which, like Iraq, “coincidentally” happens to be sitting on huge oil reserves that the USA does not yet control. Marco Rubio, that overgrown frat boy, is campaigning for an American intervention (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-03-07/rubio-demands-us-initiate-widespread-unrest-venezuela-during-senate-hearing). Rubio, Abrams (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page15?p=1635&viewfull=1#post1635), Branson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page15?p=1649&viewfull=1#post1649) – quite a collection of “humanitarians.” Sickening times.

Hi:

Briefly, before I begin my busy day, there is a method to my seeming madness, of a week’s worth of subjects that range from a rocket scientist and free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653) to the USA’s imperial machinations (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1279914&viewfull=1#post1279914) to high-tech censorship of vaccination information (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=939&viewfull=1#post939) to the latest scientific papers on ancient oxygen levels (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/18-Chapter-11-Complex-Life-Colonizes-Land?p=1658&viewfull=1#post1658) to key concepts for understanding the bigger picture (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1650&viewfull=1#post1650). It is all about developing a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). Members of the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) need to develop one.

More demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) posts are coming. It was a side-effect of the Industrial Revolution, as the end of slavery was. The demographic changes of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will make all that came before it pale to insignificance, as humanity becomes a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev).

as humanity becomes a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev).
If we find a way to gain some moral integrity. As best as I can guess from my occasional readings in history, the "sickening times" you speak of above have been a relentless dark cloud over and embedded deep into our civilization, for thousands of years ... if not far longer.

Hi:

Here is a little coda to my recent vaccination post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=1659&viewfull=1#post1659). Here are some stats on autism (https://www.fourteenstudies.org/nowwhat.html). Correlation is not causation, but I think that vaccinations are just one of many insults to human biology that people get in West, and in the USA in particular. Those European nations with much lower rates of vaccination and autism also do not have fluoridated water (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory). Their diets are not as atrocious. They don’t do nearly the level of drugs that Americans do. I just tried to find the stats on that on the Internet, and they don’t seem to exist. Prescription drugs have been so normalized that nobody even thinks it is a problem. It is a trillion-dollar business today. But you can find some stats (https://money.cnn.com/2018/03/15/news/economy/health-care-spending/index.html) on how Americans spend so much on “medicine,” but have lower life expectancies than people in other industrialized nations, much higher infant mortality, etc.

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), there are no prescription drugs. That entire misguided and even evil business has vanished. Diets are healthy (no processed food, at least half is fruits and vegetables), no environmental toxins, chemical pollution, drugs, antibiotics, etc. It is has all been so normalized today that it is all taken for granted. Uncle Ed wrote on the true “junk science (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#junk)” that normalizes corporate pollution and is used to attack anybody who challenges it.

There is an entirely different paradigm of health (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm1), waiting to be used, but it is marginalized. Is vaccination causing autism in American children? It would not surprise me at all, and I don’t trust the trumpeted studies that I see today (https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/03/04/699997613/a-large-study-provides-more-evidence-that-mmr-vaccines-dont-cause-autism). And, as that recent statement (https://aapsonline.org/measles-outbreak-and-federal-vaccine-mandates/?fbclid=IwAR14tPRiZV1l6KSINFXguIacuJBr68XytbAnxGDNYhGw1q_jjiCkCH_QLBQ) by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons highlighted, there are many ways to damage young brains with vaccination that may not be clinical autism, but something that looks like it.

I personally think that until free energy makes its appearance, and global abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) ends the racketeering impulse, we will continue to have these huge industries that are little more than rackets (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets). They won’t end coercively, but because they will become obsolete, just like elites will (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and the darkness will end.

Wade

Hi Paul (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1279953&viewfull=1#post1279953):

IMO, only a relative few of us (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) need to find that level of required integrity. If/when that happens, then many evil and normalized practices will end, just like industrialization ended slavery (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas). People will grow their consciences more, in a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance), when war (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), the obsession with economic exchange (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange), exploitation, and the like will become obsolete. But none of it can happen until abundance reigns, which will necessarily be based on a free energy economy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity).

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1279967&viewfull=1#post1279967):

Since de Waal is only ten years older than me, I can’t really call him Uncle Frans, but my essay update will cite him liberally. I read some of his work before I first published my big essay, but, as you know, I have read several of his books since then. Yes, there has been a huge egocentric conceit among scientists of how special and different humans are. In ways, we are special and different, but in others, we are like the rest of our fellow creatures. A major reason for the first half of my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint) was to show how rooted in ancient dynamics the human journey is. Humans are not as different as is often pretended, and particularly from our closest living cousins. Go bonobo! :)

Hi:

Time for a little post on Brian O. In his books, he mentioned that he not only named the Caloris Basin on Mercury, but that he even predicted its existence, based on his work on mascons with Carl Sagan. I left it out of his bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#academic) on my site, as I figured that I might have fight on my hands over it, but I mentioned it (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#after) in my remembrance essay of him. That rude and censorious admin wiped out Brian’s stellar occultation work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1383&viewfull=1#post1383), with his usual imperious and strained logic, and I never even tried to add the Caloris Basin stuff to his Wikipedia bio, but lo and behold, the Wikipedia article on the Caloris Basin actually credits Brian with naming it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caloris_Planitia#Appearance). So, don’t even think of putting something like that in his bio, but he can get credit in the article on the planetary feature. Another example of Wikipedia in action.

Wade

Ah - an analogy with the health of one's body helps me see how this could be.

Imagine that someone had been sickly, cancerous, tumorous, ... for many years, as many Americans are, given all the toxins about. That person's body is struggling to maintain its integrity.

Then imagine that person dramatically improves their diet and removes the meds and other toxins from their life. They would not have to worry about deliberately expunging each tumor, each sickly cell, from their body. Rather the tumors shrink and vanish of their own accord, and their various failing organs start working better and in concert.

That is the natural, healthy state of a body, if it has sufficient nutrients and energy, and sufficiently few toxic insults.

Which leads to a key question: Do civilizations of intelligent beings have, like the bodies of plants and animals, an innate or God given (depending on your religion) sense of their own integrity and well being?

[Wade Frazier]

Thanks Paul:

That was a brilliant little post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1280082&viewfull=1#post1280082). It gets at the gist of my work, and goes beyond mere analogies. You can see the same dynamics in different fields, such as, in this case, energy and medicine. Here goes…

To your question on whether intelligent beings have a sense of their own integrity, the answer is yes. Every organism seeks to maintain its integrity (called “being alive” :) ) for as long as possible. All life tries its best to survive. That includes people and civilizations, which can be seen as mega-organisms. The dichotomy is when people are self-serving to the detriment of their societies. Too much of that threatens the wellbeing of the society. Humanity is an ensouled species (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael), and is playing a different game than plants and animals are. Ensouled species like us are great at building civilizations and destroying planets, and we are right at the stage where we will either get over the hump (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3) or slide all the way down to the bottom of hill (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) and start over. It is all contingent on the energy issue, and the rest is noise. We either become a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev), or it will be no civilization at all. There is little middle ground, if any. It is also directly related to the idea of finally becoming a truly sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). We are still working at it. :)

Organisms have the same integrity issue, when cells “go rogue” in the various degenerative diseases, and in cancer in particular. Naessens’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens) was fascinating when I encountered it, as it shows that cells “go rogue” when they are not getting what they need from the organism that they are part of, so they no longer cooperate and play the organism game, and will prey on neighboring cells to get what they need. And instead of killing the “bad guys,” Naessens’s treatment was to feed them! Then they stopped waging warfare on their neighbors.

For cancer and human societies, the “identified patient (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identified_patient)” is the “bad guys,” the tumors/psychopaths, and attacking the “bad guys” is really nothing more than symptom management and avoids dealing with the underlying dynamics. Since men dominate all societies and so-called “medicine,” a conflict/warfare paradigm is often adopted. Doctors have even admitted that they see themselves as soldiers (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#spitfire), battling disease, and that the patients’ bodies are merely the theaters of engagement. All orthodox cancer treatment has a warfare paradigm, as the MO is always attacking the tumor (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket). Whenever you see warfare rhetoric (war on drugs, war on terror (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc), war on cancer, war on quacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#quacks), war on energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#conserve), war itself (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#butler), etc., etc.), it is guaranteed to feed a racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets). Wars are all fear-based (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1), with economic payoffs to those fomenting the wars.

Virtually all of the alternative cancer treatments that I am aware of abandon the “attack-the-tumor” approach and instead rehabilitate the immune system, feed the tumors, and the like. And in the USA, all such treatments, which are all harmless, cheap, and usually highly effective, have been wiped out (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#suppress), driven from the USA, etc. And even when practitioners leave the USA, the FDA has kidnapped them and put them into U.S. prisons (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#keller), 2 (https://drbrianoleary.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/greg-caton-testimonial-letter/)), their clinics have mysteriously burned down, and many alternative doctors have met untimely fates (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gerson).

In the energy milieu, the racket is very carefully attended to, as anybody who taps the zero-point field (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf) comes onto the radar and is targeted for neutralization (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647). I lived through the energy racket’s organized suppression activities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) more than once, and many free energy inventors have met untimely fates (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). Among the general population, the typical reactions, if there even are any (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0), are those of denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5). For those who get past their initial denial, they get stuck in other levels (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level6) of denial and fear, and virtually all approaches to free energy today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) are rooted, in one way or another, in denial and fear. Those aspirants have yet to wake up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). I don’t recommend waking up in the free energy milieu, as surviving the awakening experience is far from guaranteed. There are less hazardous ways to awaken.

After many years of training, adventures, and study, I came to see the similarities of what I encountered. In a nutshell, it was the fear/love dichotomy. Those in fear see themselves as victims, while those in love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest) see themselves as creators, and the highest enlightenment attainable is to see all of Creation as one (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nature). All political stripes today operate from the fear/victim principle (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). None operate from the love/creator principle. If any did, we would have had free energy long ago, and the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) would be here. I advocate the love and enlightenment approach to manifesting free energy, which is far easier said than done, but Dennis and Brian immediately recognized that I was doing something different (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852).

What that approach does is deny nothing and acknowledge everything, but it also sees the forest from the trees (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), distinguishes ultimate from proximate causes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ultimate), and goes for the root instead of hacking at branches. Such a perspective sees elites as only a transient feature of our super-Epoch of scarcity, and knows that they will become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) in a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance). There does not need to be any war. If the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) forms, it will be a solid nucleus of an effort that can’t be stopped, the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) will eventually slink away, and some will even join the party. When scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) cease to be humanity’s operating principles, and are replaced with abundance and love, the world as we know it will end (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate). It can look a lot like this (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748).

But the masses will not awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#awaken) to even the possibility of such a reality until it arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). It has always been that way, which is why voices like mine have always been voices in the wilderness, as the masses are egocentrically focused, to the extreme, and all that they care about is survival (which usually extends to their in-group’s welfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), as such a concern also attends to their welfare, if in an often indirect way) and temporarily sating their addictions. The people I seek have raised their awareness past their immediate self -interest, they see all of Creation as their in-group (or, at least, all life on Earth), and I don’t kid myself that they are on every street corner. They are needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). But I don’t need many for my approach to work.

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), there is no disease, everybody lives to ages scarcely believable today, and everybody lives in perfect health on a peaceful and healed planet. It seems to be a worthwhile goal. :)

Best,

Hi:

As a little coda to Owen’s tale (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653), I was not the only person doing interviews in those years. Somewhere along the line, Mr. Deputy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy) paid a visit to Mr. Mentor’s patent attorney. When the subject came up of Mr. Mentor’s idea of marrying his engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry) to the panels of Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#arrays), Mr. Mentor’s attorney said, “If [Mr. Mentor] said it will work, it will work!” Mr. Mentor had a world-class reputation, and Mr. Deputy was going to have a hard time discrediting him, so Mr. Mentor was threatened into silence. It was just one of Mr. Deputy’s innumerable felonies committed in his pursuit of us, on his career-making case (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#promotion).

Hi:

Time for some odds and ends. It is far more satisfying for me to write about the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) and making it happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) rather than chronicle current trends, as we rush toward collapse. I wrote recently on topics for a chapter in my essay update, and one will be on push/pull dynamics (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1650&viewfull=1#post1650). The choir will be comprised of people who are far more into the pull of the Fifth Epoch than the push of avoiding what is coming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and fast.

That said, there is plenty to alarm anybody. The short-lived Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) began waning when oil production peaked in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil), which has led the Fourth Epoch for the past century (that trend is global, and applies to all hydrocarbon fuels (https://ourfiniteworld.com/2019/02/22/have-we-already-passed-world-peak-oil-and-world-peak-coal/)). Speaking of the past century, this year is the 100th anniversary of the first confirming experiment of general relativity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_May_29,_1919#Observations), which made Einstein history’s greatest scientific celebrity. This year is also the 50th anniversary of landing men on the Moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo).

During the USA’s first oil crisis, I came of age in Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#europe), had my mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva), and got my energy dreams (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). I recently wrote about the rocket scientist (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653) who was part of that. When I graduated from high school, after my mother had my father talk me out of joining the Air Force (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), I went to the local community college. That voice (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) soon led me straight to Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3), and my adventures began, although it would be another eight years of idealism (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing) and disillusionment (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting) before that voice led me to Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), and my wild ride began (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601).

I just read yesterday that about 20% of California community college students are homeless (https://247wallst.com/housing/2019/03/10/almost-20-of-community-college-students-in-this-state-are-homeless/). That is an awesome statistic. What I encountered during my days with Dennis was capitalism on steroids (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#steroids), as the global political-economic scene is infinitely worse off than is officially acknowledged. Young Americans are screwed (as are all young humans), and young Americans are abandoning the capitalist economic model in droves (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-03-11/six-years-qe-transformed-young-americans-socialist), while the banks desperately try to keep the system propped up (https://www.dollarcollapse.com/central-banks-cave-usher-crack-up-boom/), which is actually contributing to the system’s demise (https://gnseconomics.com/en_US/2019/03/11/the-dangerous-zombie-infestation-of-the-world-economy/), as they look out for their class above all else. Wildly printing money is the mark of an economic system on its way to collapse, going back at least as far as Rome (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#debase), and it is a global phenomenon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_easing#After_2007) this time. The new Rome’s imperial juggernaut rolls on (https://orientalreview.org/2019/02/18/humanitarian-intervention-and-the-new-world-order-a-violation-of-the-international-law-iii/), but is increasingly creaky.

And anybody who speaks out on current affairs, injecting a little truth into the discussion, is under siege (https://newmatilda.com/2019/03/02/psychology-getting-julian-assange-part-3-wikileaks-russiagate-trust-us-cia/). What happened with my effort to improve Uncle Ed’s Wikipedia bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) is merely a sign of the times, and the “little people” do most of the dirty work, gratis. Corporate/state censorship is in overdrive today (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-03-11/facebook-bans-zero-hedge), as it tries to keep the corrupt system propped up. No waking up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) allowed! :)

When we held our first Greatest Energy shows in Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum), the media blacked us out, while promoting mining the Moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#blackout). I saw a recent article on that idea (https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Miners-Eye-The-Moon-For-Trillion-Dollar-Payoff.html), which is surreal to me, because the answer to our energy problems is on Earth and older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). We live in truly insane times, but not many of us need to wake up to turn the tide (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

Hi:

I could spend all day, every day, writing about current events, but I have bigger fish to fry. Boeing is in trouble (https://www.dallasnews.com/business/airlines/2019/03/12/boeing-737-max-8-pilots-complained-feds-months-suspected-safety-flaw), and the same problem, of untrained pilots, is what Rodney Stich long wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1436&viewfull=1#post1436). The FAA, as usual, is covering for them, but maybe not for long.

Here is a nice little summary (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjk6L3Pqf_gAhUCvp4KHVvBDKgQFjACegQIBBAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fcda%2Fcontent%2Fdocument%2Fcda_downloaddocument%2F9783319042374-c1.pdf%3FSGWID%3D0-0-45-1439905-p176440217&usg=AOvVaw1niiYi2krhkdTEQR-aPKJv) of EROI (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroi) and the human journey. Financial writers increasingly understand the relationship between energy and economy, but I have yet to find one who could understand my work. And, as usual, it has little or nothing to do with “intelligence,” but giving up what they think they “know.” Often, the most “educated” in these issues are the most entrenched in the paradigm that makes the “smart” into Level 3s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3). My encounter with Owen Dykema (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653) was an early indicator of how it would go with scientists and the “smart.”

As I have written plenty, I was raised in a redneck household (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#slurs), and the first alternative political stripe that I was introduced to (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page4?p=662&viewfull=1#post662) is what we would call the “far right,” from my first stint with Dennis. Gary’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398) would fit in that framework. But, not long after meeting Gary, I heard of Uncle Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky), and I hold Uncle Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), for instance, in far higher esteem than pretty much anything from the right. But the right, at least, acknowledges hyper-elite activities, which the left generally denies even exist (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion). It has been quite a journey to navigate those perspectives, and if not for my wild ride with Dennis, I would likely not have navigated it, and would have had some kind of unproductive armchair perspective.

But, I eventually realized that both left and right were wedded to scarcity and a victim’s mentality (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). Few were aspiring to a creator’s perspective, and that can only be done with love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). I did find a few, and Brian was one, but we were voices in the wilderness (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#lonely). Reading Uncle Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) helped me articulate many ideas that I had been wrestling with, and one was how worthless retail politics was (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics). The retail political system is worthless in several ways, one of which is that politicians are nowhere near the levers of true power on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). So, as I witness the rise of socialist thought (http://thegreatrecession.info/blog/socialist-revolution/) in the USA, as a reaction to the unbridled greed of capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), I have to sigh, as everybody hacks at branches if they hack at all, playing the exchange game, which will be meaningless in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange). Like virtually everybody else (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), they are firmly stuck in their Epoch, unable or unwilling to see beyond it.

That journey allowed me to understand how rare the people are that I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle).

Hi:

To those of us who have been around the CIA’s block a few times (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cia), the power outages in Venezuela (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page15?p=1635&viewfull=1#post1635) had a very familiar feel to them. So, it was no surprise to see this article (https://medium.com/@sharminen/us-officials-offered-my-friend-cash-to-take-down-tehrans-power-grid-628435bc61f8) on how American officials tried to pay somebody to take down Tehran’s power grid. The USA has been doing this kind of thing for many years, such as its genocidal destruction of Iraq’s infrastructure (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#continuing), and then the sanctions that prevented them from being rebuilt. It is and tried-and-true American MO. Another day to be proud of being American. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Other ideas in that new chapter for my essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1647&viewfull=1#post1647) will be the concepts of efficiency and resilience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#resilience). Another will be how innovations are put to new uses. This has been common in evolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dualuse), and extends to human innovations. All technology can be used for good or evil (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving). I also will briefly cover the distinction between classical and quantum physics, and the role of consciousness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical1).

Among the books I am currently reading is one on the Neolithic Revolution in Britain (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0500051860/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It is better than I expected. Far more than 100 pages into it, and it is still on the progress of the “revolution” from the Fertile Crescent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran) into Greece. As a survey, it is excellent, with the usual small errors that surveys can have, such as stating that the Sioux domesticated the horse. The horse evolved in North America (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#horse1), as the camel did, and both were driven to extinction by the Sioux’s ancestors, the Clovis hunters (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#clovis). The Sioux only “domesticated” horses that the Spaniards brought, when they invaded what became the American Southwest (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#coronado).

As I stated earlier, I currently plan three chapters for the Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3), splitting the time before Europe’s rise into a chapter on domestication before civilization, and one on the rise and fall of civilizations. The early Third and Fourth Epochs will get beefed up quite a bit in the essay update.

I have seen my work referred to as a historical document, as I chronicle so many events. One pal wondered what historians would think a century from now about my tales of the free energy pursuit (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#journeys), the Space Race (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), and their connections through people such as Owen (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1), Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), and the like. All that I can say is that I hope that my work does not become some historical curiosity, but that I can help make a dent. :) My writing work has a few goals, but all are subservient to the overriding purpose of my life’s work: helping manifest the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). That will be the biggest event in the human journey, by far, as humanity becomes a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev).

The people that I seek need to be comprehensive thinkers (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). Otherwise, they fall by the wayside as they grind their particular axes, hacking at branches and not even seeing the root. I constantly see people fly off into New Agey magical thinking (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage), materialistic denial and armchair “skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends),” conspiracism, sociality (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/96-Human-sociality-and-free-energy), and other paths of irrelevance.

My effort seeks to avoid the many pitfalls (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls) and dead-ends (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) that literally thousands have encountered in the past century and more. This path has taught me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading).

Best,

Hi:

I will start a series of posts on the demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic). More than a decade ago, I began studying for what became my big essay, and one of the early books I read was In the Servitude of Power (https://www.amazon.com/Servitude-Power-Energy-Civilization-Through/dp/0862329434). Several years previous to that I read Heinberg’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm) and that of the Peak Oilers (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#fossil), as well as why agrarian civilizations collapsed (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#tainter). This morning, I found myself rereading parts of In the Servitude of Power, and it only reinforced my thinking on this issue. The demographic transition really began with the rise of Mediterranean civilizations, of which Rome became the ultimate example. The watermill (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill), windmill (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#windmill1), the first stirrings of a scientific approach, and the concept of democracy came from Ancient Greece (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#classicgreece). We might think of that as something from the ancient past, but the rise of Classical Greece was really a late-Epoch phenomenon, as the Third Epoch was about 75% over when Athens had its short day in the sun, and Athens rose about 5,000 years after the first city appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer). Rome took Greek innovation to levels not seen before on Earth, before it wiped itself out with its unsustainable energy-production methods. The rape-and-plunder economy could only last so long, and Rome was able to expand like it did only because of the low-energy transportation lane of the Mediterranean, which no polity dominated like Rome did (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tenochtitlan1) before or since.

When Rome collapsed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#antonine), the region went moribund for centuries, recovering from the damage (and in ways, it never recovered), but the watermill never stopped its use, and what is called the High Middle Ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hma) is when Europe began its rise to world dominance and the Industrial Revolution. Watermills exploded (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill1) in watery Western Europe during the High Middle Ages, ancient Greek teachings were reintroduced to Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toledo) via captured Islamic libraries, and the rise of humanism began, which flowered in the Renaissance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#renaissance), and later, the Enlightenment (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#voltaire). The Scientific Revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#modernscience) was also part of that trend. But it all rode on the energy practices of the day. The High Middle Ages in Western Europe was a period of great expansion. Forests were razed, swamps were drained, and land was even reclaimed from the sea in the Low Countries, as a great period of city-building began. Horse-drawn plows and other agricultural innovations, such as intensive crop rotation, appeared in the High Middle Ages, along with the mills to grind the grain. Energy capture in Europe is estimated to have risen by 50% per capita from 1000 AD to 1800, when the Industrial Revolution was just getting underway.

Those innovations began galloping along with the British Agricultural Revolution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Agricultural_Revolution), to the point that less than 40% of the English workforce (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishworkforce) was involved in agriculture in 1800. Freeing peasants from the back-breaking drudgery of farming allowed industrialization and the attendant demographic transition to happen. Without that, the rest could not have happened. So, when I see economists and demographers debating the causes of the demographic transition, I see them debating proximate causes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ultimate), not the ultimate one. It is kind of like pundits discussing the invasion of Iraq while never mentioning oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). Heck, they can’t even bring themselves to admit that the USA committed a crime of aggression (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pm20). That kind of academic myopia is an epidemic condition, whether it is due to imperial blindness or other factors.

I consider Ian Morris’s work to unfortunately be hindered by dragging around the imperial baggage that comes with his being an Englishman working at Stanford – he is so Establishment in his views, such as praising Pinker’s imperial tripe (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker). That said, there is a lot that Morris gets right in his work, and one of the most important is his multidisciplinary approach that takes in the big trends, which makes relatively minor issues such as the demographic transition easier to understand. The demographic transition was a side-effect of industrialization.

It is time to start my busy weekend.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Uncle Noam was once asked what the point of his political work was, and he said that it was to provide “intellectual self-defense” for activists and others who try to see beyond the propaganda. The media and academia have made extraordinary efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) to marginalize Noam and Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms), but it has made a dent (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#marginalized). While the destination is important, it is also about the journey. All that we take with us is our awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#afterlife), and those who raise it while here have mined the gold of this reality, and it all begins in the heart (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308). Those in thrall to the delusions of our world, including the mind-controlling ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), have a difficult “time” on the other side.

That said, while raising my awareness past the lies that we all get fed each day (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm) has been a worthwhile process, it is only part of a process of getting something done. Make no mistake: I am going after the human journey’s biggest event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), although I can sympathize with people who think that I have not made a dent so far. The biggest event in the human journey is not going to get accomplished on people’s lunch hours, by clever banter by the anonymous in cyberspace, etc. People have to do the work. I know that I seek needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and I knew that long before I began my public writing career. I knew it in Ventura, when I had my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) beaten into my head in no uncertain terms.

But, I still had a lot more to learn on my journey, and I suppose that the primary lesson of my post-Dennis days was how truly rare the people are that I seek, even for something as modest as what I ask for. Dennis drew crowds from the day that I met him (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=602&viewfull=1#post602), but the very same people who gave him a standing ovation cheered when his company was stolen (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604) a few months later. I saw only two people acquit themselves honorably, in the end, from the Seattle days, and even they were really not interested in the big picture of what we were doing: they saw it as a business opportunity. I won’t belabor my journey from Seattle to my radicalizing moment on the witness stand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681), as I have written plenty about it, but as I left my home town, to never return, only Mr. Professor stood tall (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) from the Ventura experience, and it cost him his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey). I had my encounter with Owen (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653) just before I left, which gave me a hint of what was ahead of me.

The next year, I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), and our relationship began. I was his biggest fan as he played the Paul Revere of free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere), but after five years of riding (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), he began openly wondering if humanity is a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). I had been taking on all comers on my site for several years by that time, and my attempts to interest people in this issue, at least during my post-Dennis days, began very early, and my letter to Uncle Noam in 1992 was one of the earlier attempts. Virtually without exception, nobody was home. The best that I got was a polite brush-off from Noam, after several interactions. My attempts with the “Left (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm)” were almost always greeted with either silence, Level 3 denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), or “wake me up when you can deliver free energy to me (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#awaken).” Even a giant like Uncle Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) could not get onboard with the energy/economy connection, as he had been a banking-and-control specialist (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#career), along with his media work, although he had a hobby of studying an aspect of astronomy.

It took more than 30 years of my energy journey to be able to write those levels of free energy awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart), after thousands of interactions on the issue. Fool that I am, I still throw my line in where I can, and my interactions with Richard Stallman (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130) comprised a quintessential Level 3 encounter.

To this day, I am approached by all manner of people, and virtually without exception, they just can’t let go of their baggage. I get people with inventor-itis, stuck in the free energy field’s arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), for instance. The trolls come swarming (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) wherever I appear in an unprotected setting, and the forum admins then pile on, incredibly, and here are two recent examples of that (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page14?p=1535&viewfull=1#post1535), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=639&viewfull=1#post639)). What happened at Wikipedia, as my work on Ed was erased (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1368&viewfull=1#post1368), is typical, and that was child’s play compared to the free energy issue.

Even when people try to understand, they fall off the rails into New Age pabulum (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) and wild-eyed conspiracism, they seize on a minor aspect of my work and can’t see beyond it, as they lose sight of the bigger picture, they rush out to proselytize to their social circles (which is always a disaster), and so on. I have seen it all in the 45 years since my first energy dreams (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) (in two weeks, it will be the 45th anniversary of that article on Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#article)), and yet I continue on my path. I won’t change my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) much, as I am trying out an avenue never tried before, and it is worth one man’s life to try it out, no matter how much people try to drag me down their rabbit holes to nowhere.

I might have another 30 good years in me, and we will see how it goes.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As another brief coda to my encounter with Owen (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653), soon afterward, I quit my job at the medical lab (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience) and took the summer off before our move to Ohio (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=734&viewfull=1#post734). And as I did in the summer of 1988, as I tried to recover from what was happening (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), I visited friends in Southern California, a number of whom were my investors (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614) (and I gave shares to the others). I can’t recall at the moment, which summer I visited that investor/friend who grew up in an internment camp (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might/page2?p=990&viewfull=1#post990), who went on the offensive, defending the system and arguing we must have committed crimes, if the authorities came after us (a variation of the Stockholm syndrome (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome), it seemed), but her reaction was typical of what I received from my friends and family. My beloved grandfather (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas) admonished me for trying to get rich quick, and years later, when I heard that my mother was campaigning against me (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492), with her scrapbook tour, I almost had to laugh, I was so far beyond being hurt by such behavior by then.

In the weeks before I left Ventura, to take the summer off, I visited an investor/friend who was in a doctoral program in chemistry. She was the closest friend of my first girlfriend, and we not only stayed in touch, but we were very close. She initially dropped out of school to work in a chemistry lab. After several years of that, she decided that she needed to resume her college career, and when I saw her, she was close to getting her PhD in chemistry (she had left her husband by that time, but retains his surname to this day; I refused to let my wife take my surname – what a barbaric practice – and she took her mother’s maiden name). She then became a college professor at a California state university, and is kind of famous today. She knew that I was the one with the chemistry talent, and she saw me change majors in my second year of college, as I dropped out of our organic chemistry class, as my first existential crisis peaked. That voice spoke to me a few weeks later (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice).

She had an environmentalist mindset, and teaches environmental chemistry today. Before I met Dennis, her husband and I made a kind of environmental pact, in which we agreed to see what we could do about the environment, even if it was just an annual check to Greenpeace. I took it to some lengths. :) As we met at her university in the spring of 1990, in the aftermath of my Ventura ordeal, I began to bring up the experience. She was an investor and deserved to hear at least some of it. When I brought it up, she immediately cut me off. She did not want to hear any of it. My experience was an indictment of the town that we grew up in, and she did not want to have her illusions shattered. I was still at the point of being surprised by such behavior, as I was with Owen. This was a close friend who had some idea of what I was made of. It was the last time that we ever interacted, as she did not want to have any more contact with me.

I could tell several more stories like that, but suffice it to say, that when free energy newbies rush out to proselytize the good news of free energy, I do what I can to discourage them, but they almost never listen. They have to go out and learn the hard way, and the best of them come back to me, chastened, with tales of ostracism. If I could not make a dent with my closest friends, who witnessed my ordeal, how do they think that they can? That is their egos and inexperience talking, thinking that their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) are different.

I’ll say this, however: it was not all bad. Some friends supported me in those days, and they are like gold nuggets to me today. However, my closest friend during those days eventually went on the attack (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=823&viewfull=1#post823), as my radicalized and expanded awareness threatened his victim-oriented worldview. To this day, only a few people in my life have much of an understanding of my journey. I can discuss my journey with only a handful, whose defense mechanisms don’t rear up when hearing about the reality that I discovered the hard way.

Best,

Wade

Wade Frazier, Post #8018 : “To this day, only a few people in my life have much of an understanding of my journey. I can discuss my journey with only a handful, whose defense mechanisms don’t rear up when hearing about the reality that I discovered the hard way.”

I have come back to this thread, regularly, for 7 years now, because it is one of those quiet, gleaming places where work takes place to build a better world.

There are different kinds of places in the world, making movements to create the same kind of frequency. Souls reforesting their local lands. Souls driven out of 'progressive' Western countries to practice effective medicine. Souls teaching children how to respect one another and turn their gaze away from televisions and addictive gadgets. Souls going deep inside themselves, silent and unseen, to apply their prayers to the healing of the world.

Recently I've noticed an amping up of energy around the world, and within certain outlets of spiritual (internet) communities, from what people share openly, there seems to be a surging of emotion coming up for clearing. Some might call it karma, looking to be cleansed. I can feel its undercurrent in my own world.

If I turn on the mainstream media, and even elements of the alternative media, it is the same old story of divide and conquer. People being pitted against each other and herded into groups. Picking 'sides'.

What side is there to be on, other than the side of life, freedom, and mutual respect?

You can find countless examples in the media of where that wish for achieving 'mutual respect' is subtly twisted, deliberately or otherwise, to turn people against one another yet again. So if you haven't been prone to fearing people of another race, religion or nationality – your psychic energy risks being directed towards fuelling disdain for those misguided souls who are.

Yesterday I saw an article headline, in reference to the recent mass assassination in New Zealand : “We have to stop this hate and start seeing Muslims as human”
As an article it made some fair points, rightly sympathetic to vast numbers of innocent Muslims. As a headline (likely to be seen by more people than the article would be) it was questionable. To my mind, the actions of one (or perhaps more, if he didn't act alone) individual who was clearly out of his right mind, are not representative of a “We.” The vast majority of people are not plotting massacres of violence towards Muslims. And just as there is fear-based violence perpetrated by non-Muslims towards Muslims, there is also the same kind of violence perpetrated by Muslims towards non-Muslims. And around we go. To quote a news outlet from the other end of the political bias spectrum : “75 percent of the victims of religious persecution around the world are Christians.”

Instead we can be choosing love. I imagine a lot of people are sending love to those affected by recent events. If only that same intense energy could be harnessed to send love towards a vision of holistic environmental regeneration, rather than grief. If only freedom of speech weren't being eroded daily, in the name of being inoffensive.

But we know better here than to expect the mass media to start daily meditations on our responsibility towards balance, and utilising our psychic power.

I watched a film of a Haka today. The traditional Maori dance. It was performed by students in New Zealand to honour their classmates who had died in the tragic Christchurch attack.

There is something deeply moving about the Haka. For the parts of us willing to feel it. The way it has been passed down through generations and seems to tap into the power of ancestors. Everything they have learned. Everything they have witnessed. The way it takes death, or the enemy, and transmutes that energy to honour life and strength. The way it celebrates even an invited guest by displaying power and inviting the onlooker to both respect that power and tap into his or her own. The way it draws on what is capable of violence in the human body, and integrates it with what is capable of discipline, unity and transformation. Darkness into light. Capable of being born from awareness.

Calling on great spirit, while connecting with the dirt to which our bodies all return.

These are only my humble perspectives. I'm no student of the culture.

But sometimes, with everything I see going on all around us, all the darkness coming up for transformation in the world and in my own life, I come back to this thread because I see a similar spirit in the work laid out in its pages. Even though it takes a very different form. Shifting energies with written words, instead of physical movements. And harnessing the dynamics of surrender, beyond opposition or tribal unity, and moving into the realms of deeper integration.

All the stories you've laid out Wade, of facing real, psychopathic enemies, and choosing to keep your eye on a road to a higher path. All the transmuting, and the channelling of energy, and the discipline that required.

I wish anyone here reading : the strength to rise beyond the forces that would drag us away from our selves. I wish us strength to connect with the true vision of healing and harmony that is innate to our spirit, and lives deep within our bones.

And thank you Wade, for holding true to your aims of honing and safeguarding a vision of a higher frequency on which a healed planet can be founded.

In short, I suppose, none of us are perfect. But all of us are capable. Of greatness and goodness.

Forgiveness and growth.

Hi:

To all, Melinda (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1281624&viewfull=1#post1281624) is one of my many hesitant posters, wondering if her work is worthy. What a joke. :) Soulful poets like Melinda are not found on every street corner. It is always good when she posts. Yes, keeping one’s eye on the ball is not easy in our world. There are a million distractions, and people hack at branches in all directions, if they hack at all.

As an American, I can’t keep track of all of the mass shootings. They run in a blur today. My life has been impacted by mass shootings several times now, and the threat of them is ever-present. One colleague stood ten feet away as a mall shooting began a few years back, and the factory where I work was shut down last year, to relocate someplace cheaper, and I had security guards next to my desk for months, as they also patrolled the building and perimeter, to prevent anybody from “going postal” as the factory shut down. This is what being an American means these days, and when a shooter in New Zealand (who is an Australian) praises our sitting president in his manifesto, it is merely a sign of the times.

Of course, conspiracist speculation ran rampant within hours of the shooting. While nothing would surprise me, there is a cottage industry that is determined to demonstrate that all mass shootings are part of some conspiratorial plan to take away our guns and liberties. Never mind that the very ideologies that seem to have led to many of these mass murders are often cited by the perpetrators as inspiration. There are too many examples to mention. Might some of the mass murders been manufactured as part of an elite plan? Maybe, but I think it highly likely that these shootings might have a “false flag” sprinkled like raisins in the oatmeal of our increasingly deranged political milieu, and there might not be any raisins at all, just the illusion of them, if one looks at the Rorschach blot long enough.

While I may seem focused on my mission, it pales next to Dennis’s commitment, which has to be seen to be believed. Put him behind bars on bogus charges (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), after offering him a billion dollars to stop (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), and he comes out stronger than ever. Do it again, and repeatedly try to kill him (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), and he begins barnstorming the country (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=803&viewfull=1#post803). The GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) took notice, as did the sitting president (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#yull), etc., and tried to derail him via several means that time, including “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#crackpots)” and a sting operation (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting) that nearly got me. What I am doing is far more modest than Dennis’s Indiana Jones impersonation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jones), but I think that it can help.

To my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1672&viewfull=1#post1672), it is anecdote time. This one will show how close that chemist and I were, and it will be one of innumerable events of that kind in my preposterous life. Back in 1984, during my unhappy LA days (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), there were no answering machines, cell phones, or even computers in homes, much less an Internet. If you wanted to contact somebody, you snail-mailed them, went to their homes, or made a phone call, hoping that somebody would answer. One weekend in LA in about 1984, I wanted to talk to my friend. It had been some months since we had last talked. So, I called her that morning, but nobody was home. I called twice more that day, to no effect. Only a few minutes after my last attempt, I got a call, and it was her. She said that she was gone all day and had just returned home, but she kept feeling like I was trying to contact her, and she asked if I had tried to call her that day. I have never had that question posed to me before or since. I was in full mystical mode those days, studying Seth (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth), joining meditation and spiritual groups, etc. You might say that she and I were on the same wavelength. :)

I thought that we would be friends for life, but our friendship was one of many, many casualties of my journey.

When I began my writing “career,” it was to try to process what I had lived through. My days of study began (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) then, which have yet to end. I had an idea for a book, but then the Internet happened, and after several years, I gave up on the book idea, but it has recently been resurrected (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481). But it can only be a brief introduction to my work. The meat is on my site, and increasingly, in my forum posts. My grandfather (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas) was a famous poet, but he also wielded a wicked pen, to hurt people, as have other relatives (I have been targeted several times, of course, by the very relatives that I saved – all of my immediate family did that). Part of my writing effort is to help heal that family legacy, but I obviously aspire to much more than that. I have purposely avoided waxing poetic in my work. I am trying to get across a mass of ideas, many of them very unorthodox, in as clear a way as possible. Uncle Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) was like that, which is partly why I became such a fan. And like how Ed and Noam’s work has been received by academia and intellectuals, not many people are willing or able to understand my work, but I seek the few who can (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle).

Wade

Hi:

Here is a little more on Venezuela (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/39-Chapter-23-The-Postwar-Boom-Peak-Oil-and-the-Decline-of-Industrial-Civilization?p=1631&viewfull=1#post1631) this morning. The media, as usual, is shamelessly lying about Venezuela (https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/03/18/on-the-ground-in-venezuela-vs-the-media-spectacle/), as it did about Iraq’s WMD (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), etc. God, in this picture (https://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/14378) of Elliott Abrams, Imperial Hit Man (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page15?p=1635&viewfull=1#post1635), he looks like Satan’s acolyte, which I suppose he is. As I have stated many times, it does not matter much who the American president is, as the Empire rolls on, with its genocides and other evil deeds. Trump is actually the least imperial of recent presidents, but still he presides over numerous imperial ventures, and the Venezuela venture is obscene.

I am going to slow down on my public forum postings to work on my site’s essays, my big essay in particular, but I am going to be updating several essays on my site, too.

Best,

Hi:

I am going to do a brief series of posts on the problems with inventors. It was inspired by recently seeing that one of Brian O’s buddies finally got his book published (https://www.amazon.com/Chi-Minh-Guerilla-Warfare-Handbook-ebook/dp/B013CVY6GC). Brian had me read the manuscript about ten years ago, when his buddy was looking for a publisher. Reading that manuscript was about the last straw for me in deciding that the only path to free energy with a prayer was to give it away (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers).

I’ll provide a brief synopsis of that manuscript, and then discuss why it pushed me over the edge. The author has been involved with inventors and inventing for his entire career, he was generally involved with disruptive technologies, and he never brought even one of them to market. In ways, his book is about how not to go about the inventing business. The entire theme of that book is how to succeed in disruptive technology development and marketing, and as the book’s title shows, he advocated a guerilla warfare model. When I saw that, I had to sigh. The entire book is kind of a testament to how the older generation thinks, and that author was firmly stuck in his framework.

If people read that book, they will read of many events that stretch the worldviews of average people. For now, I’ll accept that the author faithfully described his experiences. Again, he was one of Brian’s buddies, and anybody legitimately in our field for long has plenty of hair-raising experiences to relate, and Brian’s buddy had more than his fair share of them.

Immediately, I could tell that his experiences with inventors were genuine, as I could attest to them, too. Most inventors are trying to become rich and famous, not really help the world. Helping the world is incidental and makes for nice rhetoric, but almost none of them are motivated that way. In that way, they are no different from the masses (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=709&viewfull=1#post709) or almost any other group, really, for all of their creative talent. For me, a red flag on the author is that he lives in Utah, which might be the worst place on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1551&viewfull=1#post1551) to mount a disruptive technology effort, doing it right in the lion’s den. I have to wonder about people who try to mount disruptive technology efforts in Utah, and I can’t get entirely free of the suspicion that they may not be who they seem to be. But I’ll put that suspicion aside for now, and simply conclude that Brian’s buddy is simply naïve, for all that he has been through.

You can see that he has recently been involved (https://www.researchgate.net/project/Corona-Discharge-Plasma-Gas-Dissociation-System) with a technology that attempts to reduce the carbon dioxide from burning hydrocarbons to carbon and oxygen at the exhaust pipe. When I last saw Dennis, he had developed, among other technologies, a motorcycle that did not exhaust to the atmosphere. It also seemed to solve the same problem. Of course, the technologies that I am aware of (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) eliminate fossil fuels altogether, so I consider exhaust remediation to be a Band-Aid, at best. I was introduced to the idea of exhaust remediation at age 13 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/30-Chapter-21-Humanity%C2%92s-Fourth-Epochal-Event-The-Industrial-Revolution?p=1613&viewfull=1#post1613).

I have written a little about Brian’s buddy’s experiences in the past, without naming him, and I won’t name him publicly. People can just take the links and find out for themselves. In his book, he wrote about how he was assigned to work with Soviet scientists and inventors, fleeing from the Soviet Union’s collapse a generation ago. They brought their wares with them, seeking shelter in the West, and the USA was always the top destination, similar to Yull Brown’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers?p=417&viewfull=1#post417) desire. Brian’s buddy claimed that he worked with hundreds of such Soviet refugees, and saw dozens of disruptive technologies, most of which would make entire industries obsolete. None of them were ever brought to market. As I have written plenty, that final scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#raiders) is far from fictional.

Brian’s buddy has published a dozen books, and one manuscript included his experiences with those Soviet scientists and inventors. As Noam and Ed discovered the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), anything that challenges the propaganda is going to have a hard time getting to the public in a meaningful way. When they finally went with a radical publishing company (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#zmag), in order to get their work out there (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#second), Noam was subjected to a smear campaign (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia) that lasts to this day, 40 years later (another eventful anniversary this year :) ). So, Brian’s buddy, apparently oblivious to the risk, shopped his manuscript to New York’s publishing houses, and a former Secretary of Defense got wind of it. Brian’s buddy not only had the publication of his book blocked, but that former Secretary of Defense also delivered a death threat, to be enforced if Brian’s pal continued to pursue publication of his book. As Brian learned, to life-shortening effect (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), the military can play hardball. Brian’s buddy never published the book.

One thing is for sure: if I ever publish that book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481), the last thing that I am going to do is shop it around, looking for a publisher. I will self-publish it. I lost my naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) long ago, but the continual naïveté of Brian’s buddy was somewhat surprising to me. In ways, Brian’s pal epitomized the arrested development of the free energy field (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1217&viewfull=1#post1217), as he doggedly traveled down the well-worn paths of failure (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). I had to shake my head at his adoption of a guerilla warfare framework for mounting disruptive technology efforts. For the record, Dennis did put disruptive technology on the market (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run), which Brian’s pal never did, and I consider his work one of many efforts that I have encountered, full of unworkable “bright ideas,” which reflects inexperience and naïveté, for all that Brian’s pal had been through. It is like they just can’t shake it, but stay in thrall to their conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant).

There is a lot more to write about this, but it is time to begin my busy day.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

To continue from the previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/131-The-Problems-with-Inventors?p=1675&viewfull=1#post1675) on the problems with inventors (I nearly named the thread “Inventor-itis” :) ), I’ll allow that Brian’s pal was well-intended, but he operated solely under the capitalist framework, as I recall, and that, in the end, always spelled the doom of the efforts. It spells it from the outside, as organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) is brought to bear, and even just the vagaries of surviving in the capitalist shark tank, even when the damage is not meted out by the conspiratorial activities of organized suppression. What we encountered was capitalism on steroids (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#steroids). But the capitalist framework also destroys the efforts from within, as greed can overcome everybody and it turns into a bloodbath (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greed). And we are not even talking about free energy efforts yet, but just the garden-variety disruptive technology effort. When the subject becomes free energy, just add a few zeroes to it, and almost nobody’s integrity has ever survived the temptations and perils that come with that game. I constantly saw people trying to steal our businesses, and I was shocked (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked) the first dozen times or so that I witnessed it.

Brian’s pal chronicled situations like that, and he eventually learned to be very careful about what inventors he became involved with, and he sometimes amassed teams that seemed harmonious, but the efforts were always wiped out or died out. When he worked with those Soviet refugees, they not only had disruptive technologies to hawk, but he also encountered many advanced materials. Flubber is not all that fictional.

What my friend was shown (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) was likely mostly “invented” by reverse-engineering captured ET technology, but I wonder if some of what he saw was from the Soviet haul. I don’t quite recall, a decade later, but I am pretty sure that antigravity and free energy were not among the technologies that Brian’s pal saw hawked. That is the good stuff, and I doubt that any Soviet scientist would have been allowed to make off with any of that, if any of them ever had access to it in the first place. Greer witnessed some of that technology, and his Disclosure Project witnesses described some of the exact technology (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=1355&viewfull=1#post1355) that my friend saw. You have to play in very rarified air to get shows like that.

If you play at the levels where your life is often forfeit, those kinds of technologies and that milieu are common knowledge. Stories like Mark’s (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647) are all-too-common, and many inventors and their allies met with untimely demises (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). More often, the efforts died from internal conflict, they never developed anything worthy, and if they ever got going, thousands have been made the offer they can’t refuse (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make).

There is also all manner of tabloid-level conspiracist gossip when the subject comes up, as well as plenty of disinformation, coming from “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” and the like. P.T. Barnum never conceived of the circus that attends that milieu.

It took me more than 20 years after my first energy dreams to finally realize that inventors are not where the action is. They really are a minor aspect of the issue, and I never met an altruistic one, from Van Der Maas (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page14?p=1491&viewfull=1#post1491) to Fischer (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer) to Brown (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers?p=417&viewfull=1#post417), and many in-between. Inventors paraded through Dennis’s organizations. Mr. Mentor (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) was probably the closest thing that I encountered to an altruistic inventor, but he did not really make the grade, either. I don’t want to get on his case. What happened in ways was my disappointment in him, when the going got tough. He is still in my pantheon. Owen (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653) was another inventor with a lot of the right stuff, but unless he was fixing rockets, he never really got anything off the ground.

Over the years, when Newman thought that he was the Second Coming (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1586&viewfull=1#post1586), or when Keshe announced that he was the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), I was kind of sympathetic, as I know what that stage can do to the ego (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=621&viewfull=1#post621), but those behaviors were not exactly helpful for the effort.

When the inventor of the hour takes the stage, with his gizmo, and too often, like Rossi, he makes the technology proprietary (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary), it is already Game Over, although the aspirant does not realize it yet, if he is even a genuine aspirant, as Rossi seems to have not been (http://newenergytimes.com/v2/sr/RossiECat/Andrea-Rossi-Energy-Catalyzer-Investigation-Index.shtml). That game always has a few outcomes, and none of them include getting their pigs to market.

I have a little more to write about this, and I am sure that I will return to post to the “Inventor-itis” thread, as so many people are stuck there, as the situation kind of epitomizes the free energy milieu’s state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1217&viewfull=1#post1217).

Hi:

I have written about Gary Vesperman and how he means well, although his account of Dennis’s adventures is misleading (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers/page2?p=438&viewfull=1#post438). Gary has made exhibits of alternative energy technology (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page3?p=451&viewfull=1#post451), trying to interest the masses. Been there, done that, several times (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10).

Dennis’s Systems for Savings program (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs) for his heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) is the most brilliant business strategy that I ever saw or heard of, and is the closest thing to free energy that has ever been on the market. Nobody had to believe anything. Just wait until somebody shows up at your house and installs it for free, and you only pay from your energy savings until it is paid for. What Dennis did not count on was being constantly raped by his colleagues, as they repeatedly stole his companies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=583&viewfull=1#post583), but his greatest folly might have been believing the full-page ads that the electric companies ran, encouraging conservation. Dennis thought that he would get the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1), but the opposite happened. Sparky Sweet was also disabused of his tickertape parade fantasy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2), and came to a lonely and grim end (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky) instead.

So, when Brian asked me to help him write a proposal for the Department of Energy (http://www.brianoleary.info/Impacts.html), because Obama mouthed some exotic energy rhetoric, and that very same administration was running Dennis out of the country (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=640&viewfull=1#post640) at the very same time, on their usual bogus charges (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), after David Rockefeller may have sicced them on Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888), I really wondered what Brian thought that we would accomplish. More than a decade before that, a DOE official tried to educate us on how the system really worked (ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull). So, the DOE’s response was no surprise (ahealedplanet.net/brian%20doe%20talk.flv), and probably did us a favor.

Just as Brian’s buddy doggedly pursued his paths of failure, Dennis has not given up on the businessman’s approach to this day. My approach was many years in coming, after my training, adventures, and study, and I went from being Dennis’s servant on the free energy business route to Brian’s spear carrier for a non-profit effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), to my independent attempts to interest people in free energy, including big names in various movements, such as free software (http://ahealedplanet.net/freesoft.htm) and the radical left (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm). Nobody was home. Ever. The polite brushoff was the best that I ever got.

The inventor’s orientation was my initial one (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), 45 years ago, but after my second stint with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), it was beaten into my head in no uncertain terms that the entire inventing path is a dead-end for any free energy effort. To make inventors the focus of an effort is delusional and reflects the field’s state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested). Inventors are generally infantile in their understanding of how the world really works, for all of their creative talent. They have a naïve tunnel-vision that Uncle Bucky remarked on (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#naive) regarding scientists, nearly all of them are trying to become rich and famous, and the technology itself is a small piece of the puzzle, but few can get past there, getting all wrapped up in the inventor of the hour, the scientist with the latest clever theory (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fephysics), and so on.

When I read that manuscript by Brian’s buddy, which presented a guerilla warfare framework (which those Young Warriors (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors) like), I had to shake my head, and it was about the last straw of my deciding that the only approach with a prayer is to give it away. That is easier said than done, but the tried-and-true paths of disaster (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) don’t need the bones of any more martyrs to mark the way. There are plenty enough of those already. No need to pile the stack any higher.

Best,

Hi Wade
I always wondered, if there is any way an inventor could truly succeed to bring a revolutionary invention to the masses.
Like a blueprint or formula.

It would certainly require a genius strategy of spreading data far while eliminating fakes and diversions.

What's your take, how it could be done?

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

This is a final post for now on the problems with inventors, but I am sure to make future posts to the thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/131-The-Problems-with-Inventors?p=1675&viewfull=1#post1675), as this issue arises. It regularly does, with news of the inventor of the hour, and so on.

In Brian’s buddy’s book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/131-The-Problems-with-Inventors?p=1675&viewfull=1#post1675), he stressed how he had devised ways to protect inventors’ rights, so that they did not have their work stolen. The goal is laudable. Mr. Mentor (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) had most of his work stolen, and the rest was suppressed. This is a serious real-world problem. On one hand, it is reasonable for an inventor to desire fair compensation for his/her invention. On the other, that idea is not going to work for free energy, antigravity, and related technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). They are simply too big for that, and is a facet of a larger problem that my work attempts to address. The arrival of free energy will be the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), by far. It is beyond the dreams of avarice (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion). When inventors begin to grasp its magnitude, they fall off the rails in many ways, and the megalomania of Newman (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1586&viewfull=1#post1586) and Keshe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) provide examples of the perils of the pursuit. Before he walked away from the situation, Mr. Mentor gave his idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry) to Dennis, in a moment of enlightenment. For that reason and others, he will always be in my pantheon.

What my work attempts, particularly my big essay and its drawing of the big picture of the role of energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents), is to develop a comprehensive view of the issue, to help ground people. Without being grounded in a comprehensive perspective, people fly off in all sorts of crazy directions. I have watched people lose their sanity by merely brushing up against these issues. One young man ended up in a mental institution after only a few discussions with me, and his parents blamed me for his meltdown. It took many years of training, adventures, and study to arrive at my current views and strategy, and I have listed the qualities that people suitable for the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) will have. Anything less than that, and they are not going to have what it takes to hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Regarding my big essay, I have seen all sorts of reactions, and few have been very productive. People react in fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), and greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level11), they go on the attack (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=639&viewfull=1#post639), or they seize on minor aspects of the issues, disappearing down rabbit holes to nowhere or hacking at branches. Achieving a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) is not easy. It took me many years, and encountering work such as Uncle Bucky’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm), to come to place where I could write that big essay. It was the fruit of a lifetime of training, adventures, and study.

I eventually realized that only a Fifth Epoch approach is going to manifest the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). In the Fifth Epoch, everybody will be richer than Bill Gates, just as the average American today is richer than humanity’s richest person three centuries ago. The entire concept of patents, intellectual property, economic exchange professions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange) and the like is going to vanish. In a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance), nobody is going to keep score, not on an egocentric level. All will work for the good of all, which will include all life on Earth. The human potential will flower (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive) in ways scarcely imaginable today. People trying to get rich off of free energy, becoming the Bill Gates of Free Energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level11), and the like have defeated themselves before they even begin. In the aftermath of the Ventura disaster (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), I strongly suspected that the businessman’s path to free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=710&viewfull=1#post710) was not going to work, and after my second stint with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), I was certain of it.

I regard any businessman’s approach to the free energy issue to be doomed and reflective of the field’s arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested). With that perspective digested, while the desire to fairly compensate inventors for their free energy technologies is understandable and laudable, it is wholly unsuited for the task at hand. Any self-seeking in a free energy effort is going to be the weak link, and will either be where the effort collapses from within (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greed), or will be the chink in the armor that the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) targets, just as I heard Bearden discuss (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden) long ago, as psychopaths such as Bill (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), Ken (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=206&viewfull=1#post206), and Mr. Deputy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy) are sicced on the efforts, and people like Mr. Engineer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=208&viewfull=1#post208) are putty in their hands.

Brian’s buddy’s guerilla warfare framework, its inventor-centric focus, its capitalistic approach, is highly inappropriate for the task at hand, but it influenced Brian in his last years. I think that you can see it in his final book (https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Solution-Revolution-Socio-Political-Suppression/dp/0979917646). If not there, then in other writings in his last years, in which he advocated protecting inventors’ rights. Those statements came from the work of his buddy, and when I read Brian’s writings on that subject, my heart sank a little. Brian seemed kind of susceptible to bright ideas, and I think that it was at least partly because he never really went through the free energy meat grinder. Brian was a great, great man, near the head of my pantheon (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), but his background was astronomy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early), a short stint at NASA (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nasa), Ivy League professorships (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#after), deep involvement in retail politics (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall) (which Brian eventually said was a dead-end), and working at a space contractor (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#saic) before he began snooping into the fringes (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote), which shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847). Brian readily admitted his naïveté (http://www.brianoleary.info/Synopsis.html). Brian visited dozens of free energy labs and workshops before he wrote his first free energy book (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#miracle), and his writings were wise ones in many ways, but he was also susceptible to “bright ideas,” such as those of his buddy.

In Brian’s last book, you can see him reproduce an email from me (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#darkness), verbatim. On one hand, it could be called flattering to see my work used in that way, but it was only an email. I think that my work should have influenced Brian, and you can see him discuss my “structuralism” idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) for one of the problems of understanding the big picture, in his first Camelot interview (http://projectcamelot.org/lang/en/brian_o_leary_interview_transcript_en.html). Uncle Mike’s writings (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#parenti) helped me develop my views on that. But I think that Brian was unduly but understandably influenced by his buddy, who advocated protecting inventors’ rights.

When I read his buddy’s manuscript, and I began seeing Brian repeating his ideas, that was when I really began to conclude that giving it away was the only way with a prayer, and that has been my stance ever since. Of course, nearly everybody dismisses me, for one reason or another, as a naïve idealist (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) or hopeful romantic, as some kind of con man, and so on. The trolls swarm (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) whenever I appear in public venues, and my experience last year, when trying to improve Ed’s Wikipedia bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), was relatively tame, compared to the other kinds of attacks that I get in public venues. Avalon is a no-trolling zone, where people don’t get to launch their attacks anonymously, and right there, that eliminates more than 99% of the trolls, as they are virtually all anonymous cowards.

That ends this series of posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/131-The-Problems-with-Inventors?p=1675&viewfull=1#post1675) for now, until somebody contacts me about the latest inventor-of-the-hour. :)

Hi Michi (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1282419&viewfull=1#post1282419):

There is an understandable fantasy out there that some inventor with the goods can publish blueprints, and then the garage mechanics can take it the rest of the way, with some kind of guerilla stampede that can’t be stopped. I even had that fantasy for a short time, immediately after becoming Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614). It did not take long before I was brought down to earth. There are several reasons why that is not a viable path. Brian spent a good deal of his free energy efforts trying to educate the public that such ideas were naïve and worthless (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate). At his life’s end, Brian stated that it would take about $200 million to develop a viable free energy prototype for public use. There is no way on Earth that the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) can be snuck past (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7). Their surveillance capabilities are second to none. Another fantasy is that there is some guerilla underground of garage tinkers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#guerilla) just waiting for those blueprints, to go build them. They don’t exist.

For the technologies that I am aware of (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), think of an Intel facility, not somebody’s garage. It is far beyond the ability of garage tinkerers, even though somebody like Sparky developed a viable prototype in his home (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal). In fact, what I am doing is attempting to form a strong and large nucleus that can’t be stopped. If I can build the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), then the rest will be easy. The technical project of making free energy is not that difficult. That is not the problem. The problem, as always, is really one of integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), not technology.

Hi:

As threatened, I am revising some of my essays in preparation for the big essay update, and I just published the update to my Lies That I Was Raised With (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm) essay. The update was mainly to bring it into alignment with Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm). Speaking of Ed’s bio, I Googled Ed yesterday, and my bio came up fourth on the results page. That is the highest that I have yet seen, and even casual surfers have a good chance of seeing it if they Google Ed. Wikipedia’s libelous bio will likely always be the first result, which is a kind of tribute to Ed and Noam’s propaganda model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing).

My Lies essay was one of the first that I wrote, and like my Columbus essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm), in those days, I tended to have lengthy quotes, which is why I contacted Uncle Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1636&viewfull=1#post1636). I decided to leave those quotes in, as a kind of testament to my younger writing self. Also, because I was writing about my experiences, it is a highly personal account, unlike Ed’s bio, for instance, as I played biographer. No clever asides in Ed’s bio, and I did my best to have his voice speak for itself, and I think that lengthy quotes were appropriate for his biography. If a professional biographer does Ed’s life justice, there won’t be nearly the level of quoting that I did. I hope that I live to see a professional biography of Ed. He will go down in history as one of the giants of American intellectual life. Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky) is going to go down as one of the human journey’s greatest minds and spirits, taking his place with Socrates, Newton, and Einstein. And, of course, most Americans have almost no idea who he is, or if they do, it is as a “genocide denier (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia)” and other lies.

Krishna will be happy to see that I cite Drèze and Sen (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#starve) in the update of my Lies essay. I only made a few updates for events since I originally wrote it, about 20 years ago.

Best,

Hi:

With that update to my Lies essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1680&viewfull=1#post1680), I won’t be writing much about Ed on my site in the future. The heavy lifting is finished. I won’t be joining the fray at Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) again, as I move on to other tasks. But yesterday, after publishing that essay update, I looked at the Cambodian Genocide Denial (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide_denial#Chomsky_and_Herman) section on Noam and Ed at Wikipedia. I need to respond a little to it.

The entire section is misleading in several ways. For one thing, actual “genocide denial” was coined to describe the far right cottage industry that alleges that the Jewish Holocaust of World War II never happened (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#holocaust). I had to study that tripe when writing my war essay. The Jewish Holocaust was performed “secretly” by the Nazis, as they were well aware of what a monstrous crime it was. Word got out early in the effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#news), but few in the West really cared. There are numerous instances of Jewish escapees from the death camps making it home and trying to warn their communities, to be met with incredulous denial. Almost nobody really believed them. So, were those Jewish communities engaging in “genocide denial?” Opening up the death camps at war’s end was shocking, but few in the West really cared that much about it. In the West, the Jewish holocaust did not become the Jewish Holocaust until 1967, when the USA began unconditionally supporting Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians.

As the late, great William Blum wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#blum), there is a far greater holocaust denial happening today, which is denial of the American holocaust inflicted against the world’s peoples, which happens to this day, and Jewish Holocaust scholars have been guilty of playing up the Jewish Holocaust to the exclusion of all others (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#different). Ward Churchill wrote brilliantly about that subject in his A Little Matter of Genocide, which cost him his career (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#churchill). He followed David Stannard’s lead, as Stannard wrote the one still to be reckoned with, American Holocaust, which dealt with history’s greatest genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), which is generally denied in the USA today. At least Wikipedia has an article on the genocides of indigenous peoples (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_of_indigenous_peoples), generally as a consequence of European colonialism, but I didn’t see an article on genocide denial of American Indians or other indigenous groups. Those genocides are undeniable and centuries old, and have largely been swept under the carpet and denied to this day.

So, why even have an article on Cambodian genocide denial, when nobody really disputes that a genocide happened there? Noam and Ed’s work on the Cambodian genocide always began with the American genocide of Cambodians, in which nearly 10% of the population was killed by a record American bombing campaign, and nearly a third had been rendered refugees. Noam and Ed argued at length that the USA set the table for what happened in Cambodia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia2), as had France before the USA got involved. As Americans, it was the only ethical position to take.

Noam and Ed’s work on the Cambodian holocaust was always in the context of how the USA created it and how the Cambodian holocaust was treated in the American propaganda system. It was a “nefarious genocide,” and their Propaganda Model predicted (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#predictions) its treatment in the Western media. Near his life’s end, Ed said that he would not have changed one word of his Cambodian writings (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#differently). The best article that I saw on the attacks on Ed and Noam over Cambodia is this one (http://www.flagrancy.net/khmerchomsky.html), which rather humorously shows how dishonest critics such as Ear (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ear) and Sharp were. Yet, they are the chief sources (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky#cite_note-126) cited in the Wikipedia bio on Noam’s “genocide denial.” Neither one of them has the slightest credibility, but they are the chief sources used at Wikipedia, that “least biased (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1639&viewfull=1#post1639)” information source. :) It is as if Rush Limbaugh was cited at Wikipedia as the chief source on American foreign policy. Noam is Jewish, as was Ed, so to accuse them of “genocide denial” is pretty sickening.

Hi:

This will be a brief post on my approach, and why I think I can make a dent, or, at least, why what I am doing may have more of a chance than it might appear, and how the mystical and practical are aligned in my approach.

My standard statement (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might/page4?p=1679&viewfull=1#post1679), that the free energy issue is really about integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), not technology, aligns with the best mystical material (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael), which states that we are here to grow our consciousness and learn the lessons of love (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#ra). The mystical masters have long stated that (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#jesus). The “funny” thing about that is that, while I was quite the mystical student (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#research) before I began my wild ride (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), and that training and study likely had a great deal to do with why I survived my journey, the idea that integrity and sentience are the key issues did not come from my mystical bent, but what I concluded after playing on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584) for many years. It was only after learning those lessons the hard way that I reflected on my mystical background and realized that they were stating the same thing about what we are here for.

The other theme related to my journey I learned from the study of the journey of life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint) and the human journey. These were more recent lessons, but after I learned them, I thought about my approach and saw that it was consistent with other innovations. Innovation generally happens at the margins, whether it was evolution or human invention. They always seemed to be innovations based on necessity. The innovations did not immediately take over, but were relegated to the margins, quietly developing. One day, it exploded into prominence and dominated. Key innovations of the journey of life on Earth happened like that, in which the innovation happened with one organism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#keyevents1), but it was so successful that it came to dominate. But the period of dominance could be very far down the road. Complex cells existed for at least a billion years before they exploded into dominance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals). The losers of ocean life, the lobe-finned fish, were pushed to the shores and came onto land (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tetrapods). Flowering plants (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers) were initially rare, as they developed a new strategy of feeding animals instead of defending against them, but they eventually dominated, as they do today.

The reptiles that became dinosaurs were marginal animals for many millions of years before they rose to dominance. The ancestors of mammals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#synapsid) ruled the lands before the greatest extinction event ever (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction) cleared the biomes and set the stage for the rise of dinosaurs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lystrosaurus1). Scientists still debate what led to dinosaurian dominance, such as their superior breathing system (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#airsac), their mobility (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#carriersconstraint), and other traits. But they were relegated to the margins for many millions of years before their rise to dominance, as were mammals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsdevelop).

Most of the innovations that led to humans were developed by marginal members of their ecological niches, such as the monkeys that left the trees and became apes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proconsul), or the chimps pushed to the woodland fringes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit) of the shrinking rainforest, who learned to walk upright (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bipedskull) and use their freed hands to make tools (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1) at a level never done before, which led to an explosion in the brain size (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain), eventually leading to the man writing these words. The domestication and industrial revolutions did not immediately come to dominate, but began in obscure corners, quietly developing, to eventually explode onto the scene and dominate globally, just as humanity quietly evolved (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#progress) in Africa, to leave and conquer Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit).

I advocate the love and enlightenment approach to free energy or, stated a little differently, the integrity and sentience approach. I hatched it in obscurity, after having our efforts repeatedly wiped out, and I still labor in obscurity, almost completely ignored on the Internet. That is fine, as I continually refine my work, making it the best that I can. My effort has begun in obscurity, and my little band is a small one today. But, as I have stated from the beginning, it has to be about quality, not quantity. If I water it down to make it more palatable, so that people can drag their baggage along, then the effort will never go anywhere important. It has to aim high and keep aiming high. If it sacrifices integrity for expedience, it will be doomed. I am not going to budge on that, which why so many people come and go from my public life. People almost always approach me with some kind of “bright idea” easy answer which cuts corners on raising their awareness, watering it down to crack the mass movement nut (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), and so on. You can see it dozens of times on my Avalon thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1282419&viewfull=1), for instance, and Avalon is the nice forum. In non-protected venues, the trolls come swarming (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), and make my experience with Ed’s bio at Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) seem like child’s play. This path has been teaching me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :)

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1283375&viewfull=1#post1283375):

That was a great article (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/04/08/the-day-the-dinosaurs-died)! Here are some others (1 (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/29/science/dinosaurs-extinction-asteroid.html), 2 (https://news.berkeley.edu/2019/03/29/66-million-year-old-deathbed-linked-to-dinosaur-killing-meteor/)). I look forward to reading the paper. I was planning on writing a bit more on the end-Cretaceous extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction) in the essay update. Everything that I have seen since I published my big essay supported the asteroid hypothesis, and that find looks like it may settle the issue. Dinosaurs were doing fine until that asteroid hit. Some still advocate that a comet did the damage, but it seems that an asteroid did it.

Hi:

This is not the first time (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1283393&viewfull=1#post1283393) that the De Palma name has come up in my life. Robert De Palma’s cousin was Bruce De Palma (https://brucedepalma.com/), a free energy researcher/inventor, whose journey I have heard plenty about from the inside. He essentially drank himself to death, for another free energy casualty. That is quite an accomplished family.

I updated my James Gilliland essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm), for the first time since 2008. I added a section (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm#march19) on my reflections on what is happening at the Ranch, as well as a section on my visit in 2015 (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm#visit2015).

Hi:

Today is the 30th anniversary of when Mr. Professor and I sprung Dennis from jail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage), in the biggest miracle that I ever witnessed. A couple months previously, when I met Gary Wean (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#wean), Dennis was in solitary confinement (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#solitary), Mr. Researcher was in hiding (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hiding), and I was picking up the pieces of my shattered life. It looked pretty hopeless, as Mr. Deputy sat grinning on his evil throne (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces).

After I mortgaged my life, the tide began turning, and when the judge called for his own bail hearing (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bail2), Dennis did not need to be told twice. Mr. Deputy got caught with his hand in the cookie jar (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#legal) one too many times, and Dennis walked out of jail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#recognizance) on April Fool’s Day, as fate would have it.

Mr. Professor’s and my heroics cost us our lives, however. His life was shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), and I am still picking up the pieces of my shattered life. The evil-minded authorities still almost got Dennis killed in prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), and Mr. Big Time Attorney nearly had his career ruined (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#disbar).

I have no immediate family in my life, I have never owned my own home, and I have paid other heavy prices (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1673&viewfull=1#post1673). I have no regrets, as I realize that it is all a lot larger than me, as I was a pawn of that voice in my head (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), which has plenty of explaining to do (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3), and these kinds of experiences come with chasing the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). To this day, the authorities (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), the media (https://peswiki.com/news:dateline-accuses-dennis-lee-of-fraud), “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel),” and talking heads in the free energy field (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel) all lie about what happened in Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run) and Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), but I was there and know better.

On that April Fool’s Day in 1989, however, the worst was over for me. From then on, life was relatively easy, even as the authorities and media tried to wipe out my new employer (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience). Mr. Researcher came out of hiding and testified to the crimes of the deputies (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#espionage), Mr. Deputy went into hiding (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#gutter), and other fun (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#misconduct). I got married and moved away the next year. I have never returned to my home town and don’t plan to.

The past 30 years has been a process of digesting my adventures, study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739), and the journey of honing the writing chops that allowed me to write my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) and a likely book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481). With this post, I’ll slow down on anniversary posts about my journey, at least until 40th and 50th anniversaries begin to pass. :)

Hi:

Ten years ago, I could go a month without hiking, to no ill effect. Not anymore. If I skip a month, my body pays for it. So, I have to get back to a weekly regimen, as I juggle my life. Attached are two pics from last weekend, when I saw my first violets and trilliums of the year, which is always a special day. The other two pictures are of the table scraps left by my squirrel pals. Where there are flat stumps like that, squirrels will use them as their dining tables as they rip apart cones to get at the seeds. My favorite trail on my favorite local mountain passes by that stump, and this past winter, I have been clearing the table each time I hike past, and when I come back, I can tell how much they use that stump. The answer is quite a bit. Those two pictures are taken a week apart.

Best,

Hi:

As Uncle Ed’s first biographer (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), I have had to read innumerable attacks on him, Noam, and other colleagues. I began doing that in the early 1990s, as I read Ed and Noam’s work. It was so radically different from what I had been raised with (which I now know was a series of Big Lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm)), that I had to look at what else was out there, to see how Ed and Noam’s work held up. I am still looking for a valid criticism of Ed’s work. The critiques are all lies, misrepresentations, irrationalities, and the like. While there is undoubtedly a lot of deliberate lying, what is far more common is mindlessly regurgitating the party line, as the chorus of lies reverberates in the echo chamber.

Recently, I was reading up on the original “mythical bloodbaths (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#bloodbaths)” that Ed and Noam wrote about: North Vietnamese land reform in the 1950s, and the “massacre” at Huế. It can be very educational to surf the Internet on those topics. The land reform was part of a longstanding global practice, to end the situation of a few rich people owning all of the land while the landless peasants lived on the brink of starvation. It was obviously a highly unfair situation, which had always plagued agrarian economies. The USA overthrew Guatemala’s government in 1954 when it tried land reform, which United Fruit did not care for, as it “owned” the country, so it had the CIA overthrow the Guatemalan government, which led to a series of dictatorships that eventually committed genocide against its landless Mayan peasantry. Ed wrote at length for many years (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#guatemala1) about what the USA did to Guatemala and Central America in general (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#worthy).

The Vietnamese land reform did get a little out of hand, as admitted by the North Vietnamese government. About two thousand people were executed by North Vietnamese officials, and another ten thousand or so were killed by mobs of angry peasants. Maybe 15,000 people died. The North Vietnamese government realized that it erred, and sought to ameliorate such practices. The land reform began after a war lasting nearly a decade, as the French invaded, to try to regain their empire after World War II. The USA provided about 85% of France’s war budget for its invasion. Ho Chi Minh sought Vietnamese independence after World War I, and heroically fought the Japanese in World War II, to only get invaded by France, with American backing (and they even used Japanese troops!), and then the USA took over, and committed genocide against Vietnam’s peasantry (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early). Any honest reading of the history of those days, particularly by Americans, has to emphasize the monstrous crimes committed by the French, then the Americans, after World War II. Try to find discussions of those subjects in the American media and American scholarship. You won’t find much. But if you look for accounts of the “genocidal” land reform, or the “Massacre at Huế,” you will be treated to endless discussions about the evil crimes of the communists, which are all based on exaggerations, outright lies, and attacks on anybody who challenges the propaganda.

The so-called “Massacre at Huế” is particularly rich reading on that score. During the so-called “Tet Offensive,” the North Vietnamese captured Huế pretty much without firing a shot. The USA took it back in one of the greatest atrocities of its entire invasion of Vietnam, as it turned nearly the entire city to rubble, while killing several thousand people and rendering more than 100,000 homeless. The USA later did something similar to Fallujah (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#iraq), as it used radioactive weapons and white phosphorous (using those weapons were war crimes in of themselves), while targeting civilians and hospitals, in the standard American style.

But if you read up on the “Massacre at Huế,” the real crime was not the USA’s turning a city into rubble and killing thousands of civilians, but the massacre was all about the execution of some American collaborators before and during the American siege. The numbers of executed are likely a few dozen people, which has been openly admitted by the Vietnamese. And as with the land reform “genocide,” those few executions were not something authorized by Hanoi, but were the usual kinds of activities that you see in wars, as rough justice is meted out collaborators. In postwar France, around 30-50 thousand people were executed by mobs (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#postwar) for the alleged crime of collaboration with the Nazis, and those executions were performed under the authority of the USA, as Dwight Eisenhower ran France in those days.

The so-called Massacre at Huế only began to get played up after news of the My Lai Massacre finally broke through the media’s wall of silence on American atrocities in Vietnam. One of Ed’s earliest books (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#atrocities) was on how the American propaganda system dealt with atrocities in Vietnam, and the book’s inspiration was the American propaganda barrage on “communist atrocities” in the wake of news on the My Lai Massacre. The My Lai Massacre was just a day at the office (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-23427726) for the USA. Countless villages were destroyed by American attacks in those days, especially in the region around Huế, where the support for the communists was the greatest. A visiting Newsweek correspondent was shocked by what the Americans were doing there, as it was far worse than what he saw the Nazis do to Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#newsweek).

When the My Lai slaughter began coming to American awareness, a “captured document” was miraculously discovered that chronicled the so-called Massacre at Huế. Ed wrote about it in 1970 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#captured), in Counter-Revolutionary Violence with Noam, which was censored (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), and here is an article from 1975 (https://msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/Vietnam/huemyth/mythofhuemassacre.pdf).

American mass murder programs such as Operation Speedy Express and the Phoenix Program are treated in American scholarly corners with dispassion and understanding, while the indignation and lies are reserved for Huế, and again, not about the American atrocity of turning a city to rubble and killing thousands, but a few dozen executions that the other side committed in the heat of war. The hypocrisy is stunning, and Ed finally had to use a new term, as hypocrisy was not strong enough, and he began using “chutzpah (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah).”

As Ed pointed out (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#indonesia) before he began working with Noam, the Indonesian slaughter of around a million people, mostly communists, in 1965-1966, not only did not result in American criticism of a truly genocidal act, but Suharto’s coup and the subsequent slaughter would have never happened without American support. The American media treated the Indonesian coup and resultant genocide as a great victory over communism.

But the indignation is reserved for the North Vietnamese “genocide” over its land reform and the “massacre” at Huế. If you have the stomach for it, just surf the Internet a little, and you will see the many accusations against Noam and Ed on their pointing out the disparity in treatment between “our” and “their” atrocities, which only escalated with the Cambodian situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia).

The lies about Huế are alive and very well, as Ken Burns’s recent documentary played them up once again (https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/11/08/who-filled-the-graves-of-hue/).

Hi:

Here is some more on the book’s preface (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481), if I end up publishing it. This post is a work in progress, and I doubt that I can get it to render properly with forum software. Here is my rough draft of that part of the preface. The next part of the preface will be about the effort that I am mounting (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Here goes…


This book is not just an exercise in iconoclasm, however. The iconoclasm is to help shed our indoctrination and beliefs that hamper anybody who gets involved with my task at hand, of helping manifest that biggest event. As the popular beliefs are shed, my goal is to focus on what is important, and that begins with what our universe is made of: energy. Einstein’s famous equation, E = MC2, states that matter is merely a form of energy. The only other thing that we know exists in our universe is consciousness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical1). This book is about energy and consciousness.

This book will explore the role of energy in:


How stars are born (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beginning), live, and die (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fusion);
The formation and existence of our star system (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sun), and particularly the planet that we call home;
The appearance of the phenomenon called life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca);


How life evolved, including how:

Complex cells (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mitochondria) developed;
Complex life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals) developed;
Complex life evolved and how species appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mendel) and disappeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinction) over the eon of complex life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cambrian);

Some kinds of animals became dominant, usually at the expense of others, such as ray-finned fish (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rayfin) over armored (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kellwasser) and lobe-finned (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonyfish) fish, reptiles over amphibians (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#reptile), dinosaurs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dinosaur1) over mammals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsappear1), and primates over everything else;
Plants went from defending against animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bark) to feeding them instead (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers);
Primates appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#primate1) on the evolutionary scene, how some became apes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proconsul), and how some became ancestral to humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orrorin);


The rise of the human line, including:

The split of the human line from chimpanzees (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit);
The development of bipedal locomotion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bipedskull) along the woodland fringes of the shrinking rainforest (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pliocene);
The development of dexterity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hand) and brain growth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain) that led to the first undisputed member of the human genus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus);

The development of the first ideologies and religions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing);
How the expanding population and its shrinking energy base (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#density) (easily killed large animals), led to the next Epoch;

Humanity’s first sedentary societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran) (after some short-lived ones in the Second Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gravettian), until the prey went extinct);
The short-lived phenomenon of matrilocal societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), which often appeared in the early Third Epoch’s horticultural societies;

Hi:

I have been writing too many eulogies and accounts of the departed in recent years, but I suppose that it comes with the territory. As I mentioned with Owen the rocket scientist (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653), for instance, in this Internet Age, I can fairly easily keep track of people who have been in my life, and see what they are up to. As I have reached my 60s, many people in my life have been dying. This past week, I saw that a key figure of my early career died last year. His name was Alan. When I was drafted to work on that audit of the world’s largest savings and loan, Alan was my supervisor. I call him “my manager” in the account on my site (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting). At that momentous lunch, when my partner uttered those words (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#independence) that did not sink in for several years, Alan was there.

The next year, Alan let me know that I was finished, and that I could take as long as I needed to find work, which I know led to my dramatic encounter (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hooker) with that hooker (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=911220&viewfull=1#post911220). My “friends” were very active in those days, leading me to Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2) the next month. The day that I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), Alan gave the employment reference for me.

Here (https://www.clearinghousecdfi.com/memory-of-alan-orechwa/) is the only eulogy for Alan that I could find, from the CEO of Alan’s final company. Alan was a superstar. In the big public accounting firms, part of superstar grooming was sending them to the national office in Manhattan, and Alan spent a few years there before his stint in downtown LA. Alan was the cream of the profession. He made partner the year that I left public accounting. How it works in that profession, at the high levels, is that auditors pick a specialty and generally spend their entire careers there. In my office, it was not even “picked” that much. The only pal that I keep in touch with from my public accounting days was assigned to my group of 50 auditors, and our specialty was banking and insurance, and auditing governments in the summer months. He has been the CEO of an insurance company for the past generation, and is getting ready to retire. He recently asked me about Global Warming and its reality, to help his insurance company prepare for it, and he got a snootful from me (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics?p=454&viewfull=1#post454). :)

I can understand why few people think that bankers are idealists, but it did not surprise me that Alan got involved with lending to the less fortunate, as you can see in that eulogy, lending to Indian tribes and the like. Seeing that he kept a stiff upper lip, working during his terminal illness until he could not do it anymore, was no surprise to me.

I never talked to Alan again after the day that I met Dennis, as if my erstwhile profession handed me off to Dennis, when my big adventures could begin. I have written about my department chair in college making a “joke” about how the accountant got the job who said that he could make two-plus-two equal whatever his employer wanted, and one of the first cynical comments (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#cynical) that I heard about auditing came from Alan, which was followed a month later by that partner’s frank comment (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#independence), and I heard an even more frank “joke” from another partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#shaky) about a month after that. The next year, I watched Alan stand up to that bank, as they tried to push him around, so that they could survive their atrocious lending practices (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#appraisal) (the bank didn’t, and was carved into pieces and sold off as banks like that were dismantled during the scandal).

When it hit the fan (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#savings) several years later, I wondered what Alan thought about it. I like to think that he went into idealistic banking as a reaction to what he saw during his auditor days. I’ll never know for sure, but I dared not contact him to see what his reaction was to the Savings and Loan Scandal. It would have been like discussing how our parents were thieves or something similar. If auditors were financial cops, we were cops on the take. But how could I ever describe my journey to somebody like Alan? I rarely even tried with people like him. Kind of “funnily,” I do tell my journey to CFO-types, and I have done it several times with my CFOs, usually after I no longer worked for them. They usually understood my journey quite well, as they have been in the shark-tank of capitalism, playing at the high levels, and my journey usually did not even surprise them. But I almost never tried with people like Alan. That may have been too strange for him, and I respected his journey, trying to make a dent in the way that he could.

Alan was one of the good guys, and I look forward to seeing him on the other side after I cash in my chips.

Best,

Hi:

This is a draft of the next part of my possible book’s preface (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481).


All Epochs of the human journey had dramatic breaks from their previous Epochs, changes that were simply unimaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) to those living before the coming Epoch. An australopith of four million years ago could not have imagined cooking on and sleeping next to a campfire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine1). A hunter-gatherer of 15,000 years ago could not have imagined Rome (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine3), and an English peasant in 1500 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine4) could not have imagined the Internet, rockets to the Moon, or a microwave oven. Also, each new Epoch was unattainable without tapping the new energy source. Civilization was impossible without the energy of domestication, industrialization was impossible without the energy of fossil fuels, and the Fifth Epoch will be impossible without free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). Academics call those “necessary preconditions,” and the key precondition for each Epoch was exploiting the new energy source. Second Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2) societies could not have built the Great Pyramids (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egyptold) and Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) societies could not have built hay-powered rockets to the Moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo). Also, the rising energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) of each Epoch led to each Epoch’s becoming more humane than the one preceding it. People could afford to be more humane and develop their consciences.

The end of slavery (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend) did not happen because of a bout of conscience, but because the rise of machines (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas) made unskilled labor economically obsolete. Draft animals were no longer required and highly-trained humans building and running machines were immensely superior resources to the unskilled labor of agrarian economies. Those Epochal changes also led to the liberation of women (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic). Slavery is considered evil in the late-Fourth Epoch and was unimaginable in Second, but it was normal in the Third (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning).

Similarly, even though visionary works of art such as Star Trek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions) are readily available, almost nobody on Earth can even imagine the Fifth Epoch today. When the subject of free energy comes up, people react with denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) the vast majority of the time. After five years of playing the Paul Revere of Free Energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere), by exploiting his access to the tops of the world’s academic, scientific, political, and “progressive” institutions, and all that he received were crazed reactions of denial and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), my astronaut colleague began openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). Free energy means the end of the world as we know it, so the reactions of denial and fear are normal.

It took me many years to finally understand the reactions that I had witnessed to the idea of free energy. Even those who do not immediately react in denial and fear rarely attain productive understandings, but propose “bright idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches)” solutions that have been tried thousands of times and have proven unworkable. Such people rarely progress beyond those beginner’s levels, stuck in the free energy field’s arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), as the effort today is dominated by inventors, scientists, and would-be entrepreneurs. Those newcomers almost invariably proselytize to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), thinking to awaken them with the “good news.” The best of them come back to me, chastened by the experience, with tales of ostracism, and are finally ready to begin learning. The key issue is humanity’s inertia, and of secondary importance is organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), which is found at every level of the world’s economy. The most sophisticated suppression is orchestrated from the highest councils on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), which almost nobody on Earth realizes even exist, and few reach productive understandings of the situation.

Amazingly, the technologies to usher humanity into the Fifth Epoch are older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but are sequestered in the human journey’s greatest clandestine effort, which is conjoined (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spacemining) with the suppression of the extraterrestrial presence (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2). The global elites know that the Fifth Epoch means the end of their reign over humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), so they keep those technologies sequestered and have easily defeated all independent efforts to develop them. However, they also realize that their power-and-control games are making Earth uninhabitable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars), and the majority favors the distribution of those technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal), which is why a faction of that global cabal kidnapped my friend (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173) and gave him his show.

Almost nobody in today’s free energy milieu has the right stuff for the task at hand, and the key issue is personal integrity, or the lack thereof, which was the primary lesson of my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and one that I resisted every step of the way, until it was beaten into my head in no uncertain terms. But almost nobody wants to hear it, as it does not cast our species in a favorable light. But it is the reality of the planet that we live on, and those who deny that reality will never be of any help in manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev).

As I came to understand that almost nobody on Earth had what it took to help manifest the Fifth Epoch, I began the long journey of arriving at my current approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), which has never been attempted before. It lays aside the many failed approaches, which were, to one degree or another, rooted in scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), which is understandable in a world dominated by it. I don’t ask that anybody engage in the mind-boggling, life-risking heroism (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany) that I have witnessed among my few fellow travelers. Only a few like them walk on Earth today. Indiana Jones (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jones) cannot save humanity from itself, as a whip, fedora, and courage are not enough. I seek the relative few who have the qualities that I think will work for my approach, and they are:


They care (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308);
The have been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309);
They are scientifically literate (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) or can be trained to become so.


Those are necessary qualities for my approach to have a chance of working. I can’t help with the first two qualities. People care or they don’t, and I can’t do anything about that. Also, only those who truly care are going to have the kinds of awakenings that will be helpful for an effort like mine. My work can’t make people care or awaken, but it can assist a process that has already begun, to shorten their learning curves. I learned my lessons the hard way, as did my fellow travelers, and if everybody had to learn how we did, almost nobody would survive the curriculum. People have to come to my effort already caring and awakened. I can help with the scientific literacy and developing a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#peeling). If R. Buckminster Fuller (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) was alive today, he would understand what I was doing, and I consider him a professional ancestor.

I am undecided on whether another quality is required, although nearly all of my fellow travelers that I most respected had attained it: a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312). I can help people attain that, too, by directing them to where they can seek it, although those venues are also rare. I received my mystical awakening at age 16 (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown), and it was a critical “precondition” for my wild journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures). Most of my fellow travelers had theirs as teenagers or young adults, while my astronaut colleague was a relative old man when he got his, at nearly 40 years of age (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote). We were almost all scientists or scientists-in-training when we had our mystical awakenings, and they were critical aspects of our journeys. In fact, probably none of us would have embarked on our journeys without them.

I found that those without mystical awakenings tended to be trapped by the religion of our Epoch, which I have called the rationalist-materialist paradigm, Enlightenment doctrines (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), and other terms. As with the other dominant ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), the rationalist-materialist paradigm will not survive in the Fifth Epoch.

The lessons of the mystical masters are key for an effort like mine, and above all, learning the lessons of love (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#jesus) is required for an effort like mine to succeed. I have called my approach the love and enlightenment approach, which has never been attempted before, and I seek singers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), not soldiers. I think that it is not just a nice idea, but any attempts not rooted in love and enlightenment will likely fail, for both practical (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest) and “mystical (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divine)” reasons. Humanity is not going to awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#awaken) with clever talk or work like mine, but when they can begin to experience the Fifth Epoch, which will necessarily begin with the experience of the energy technologies that the Fifth Epoch will be founded upon. A demonstration of a working prototype (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate) is also not enough, but free energy delivered to their homes will begin to awaken them. It has been that way with every Epoch, and I see no reason why this one will be any different.

In finishing this preface, this book is merely a brief introduction to the online classroom that my website (http://ahealedplanet.net/home.htm) and forum (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/) comprises, as I seek to build that choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I have written quite a bit about inventors (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/131-The-Problems-with-Inventors?p=1675&viewfull=1#post1675) in my work, from Mr. Mentor (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) to Bob Van Der Maas (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page14?p=1491&viewfull=1#post1491) to Yull Brown (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers?p=417&viewfull=1#post417) to Owen Dykema (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653) to Sparky Sweet (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal). Here is a little more on Victor Fischer (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer). I have written about him a bit before (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page2?p=233&viewfull=1#post233), so there is no need to belabor it. Victor is nearly 90 today (https://radaris.com/~Victor-Fischer/1319041517) and lives in China. Here is a bio on him (http://ravengeopolnews.com/who-is-victor/). He was on Dennis’s dole twice, and abandoned him twice, and you will see no mention of his years with Dennis in his bio. Here is a YouTube clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiHOm7Sdy80) about his work on the brain and thought. Victor is a brilliant man, as all of those inventors that I listed above were. Mr. Mentor was the most brilliant of all, and he was the closest thing that I ever saw to an altruistic inventor, but even he did not make the grade when the chips were down. None of the inventors on Dennis’s journey did.

When I saw Dennis in 2013 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page3?p=249&viewfull=1#post249), I mentioned that I never met an inventor with the right stuff, and Dennis replied that he met one, but that he died in Dennis’s parking lot, of a “heart attack.” With Dennis, there is so much happening that he really does not pursue conspiratorial lines of thought much. He bore the brunt of global conspiracies (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) more than once, but he really did not like to emphasize it. He just treated it as the terrain that he had to navigate, and if I outlive Dennis, I will write some more about the attention that he received from the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) that he has never publicly discussed. He gave them some interesting days at the office.

But when I saw Dennis’s assistant a couple of weeks later and brought up that inventor who died in Dennis’s parking lot, he was very frank about how that death was likely not a natural one, and he discussed another man in their operation who died on a weekend around the same time, found dead on a beach, and they could never get the authorities to even investigate those untimely deaths. Untimely deaths in the free energy field (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors) merely reflect an occupational hazard.

It was a cousin to how Dennis could not get the police to even investigate Bill the BPA Hit Man (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), even with all of the blood on his hands, with a damning evidentiary trail that Dennis laid in their laps. You can murder people (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), but if you work for the right interests, you are immune from prosecution. But Dennis failed to file a form (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bargain), which merited two years behind bars, and the authorities repeatedly put him into position to be murdered by the inmates (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes). That is what is called “selective enforcement,” and I saw it in my trucking days (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=273&viewfull=1#post273), too, as well as my medical lab days (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience). The authorities enforce what they feel like enforcing (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#pc), or are bribed to enforce (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#promotion), and the judges are often in on it (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=278&viewfull=1#post278) (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=278&viewfull=1#post278), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=272&viewfull=1#post272)). The USA’s legal system is rotten to the core (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1399&viewfull=1#post1399), and up to half of all of its inmates (the USA has the greatest prison population on Earth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_rate), by far) are innocent of the crimes that they are incarcerated for. But we are The Land of the Free. :) This is exactly what Orwell wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell), which Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) regularly wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#orwell).

That kind of selective enforcement is standard in areas like this, which is how a disinformation specialist (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621#post1621) can be the leading contributor to Uncle Ed’s Wikipedia bio, while my attempts to correct the record are summarily erased (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1368&viewfull=1#post1368) by using legalistic logic that Wikipedia itself finally admitted was invalid (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1550&viewfull=1#post1550). Mark (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&highlight=comings#post811647) is Russel Targ’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Targ) son-in-law, and as with Sheldrake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=270&viewfull=1#post270), the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” were able to get Targ’s TED talk canceled (https://suespeaks.org/ex-tedx-west-hollywood/). Anything that does not adhere to materialism is attacked like that, as does anything that does not adhere to the “laws of physics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3).”

This is how our world works today, but I am doing my best to avoid the innumerable pitfalls (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls) that await the naïve (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) and unwary, while not succumbing to the paranoia that often consumes conspiracists (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism).

Best,

Wade

Hi:

In the end, my work is about helping people overcome the hurdles to achieving productive understandings of the most important issue on Earth today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I began to make a list of the hurdles, and then realized that I already deal with those hurdles at length. Those levels of the free energy onion (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart) is one place where I do it, and I discuss them in depth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0) in my big essay, and I also discuss the pitfalls that swallow up aspirants, in my original conundrum essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls), and then in my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). I have done that work, and for those who are willing to do the work, I lay it out very clearly, and people can work on where they might be stuck, or areas to be wary of.

The sad fact is that most people are happily stuck and don’t even know it. They are comfortable in their reality, at least somewhat. Most sleep the fitful sleep of ignorance, shuffling through their lives, punching the clock, living their lives of quiet desperation, just trying to survive and temporarily sate their addictions. Their awareness never reaches beyond their indoctrination (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) and conditioning, and they cherish their in-group status (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), as that is how they survive. They have no interest in work like mine, which threatens their comforting delusions, and they won’t begin to awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink) before free energy is delivered into their lives, and that is OK (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#awaken). It took many years for me to understand those levels of denial and indifference, and I leave them to their slumbers. They can’t help with an effort like mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). That is why proselytizing to one’s social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) is suicidal for work like mine, even with the “hippest” audiences, and maybe especially the “hippest” audiences, as their egos can be the most defended. I have seen their heads explode only a few pages into my work, such as here (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress).

That situation is a very close cousin to what Noam wrote about from the very beginning of his political work, when he wrote about the responsibility of intellectuals (https://chomsky.info/19670223/) and noted that they are perhaps the most brainwashed class (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#trivial) in the “free” West, and arguably in the world. This is what Brian also discovered the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), during his ride as the Paul Revere of Free Energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere), which spurred him to wonder if humanity is really a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). IMO, the potential for sentience is there, but it is almost never realized in our world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), which short-circuits the sentience process. In a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) and love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest), humanity will finally become a truly sentient species, and futures like that heavenly Roads world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) will become attainable. But it all starts in the heart, not the head. The hells of the astral plane (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell) are filled with “smart” beings.

My writings on the levels of awareness and hurdles are for those I seek, to shorten their learning curves, to help prevent them from disappearing into the rabbit holes, crashing and burning, and the many ways that people can become casualties in this pursuit. I have seen it all over the years.

I’ll never improve much on those qualities that I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), and I have discussed them at length (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308). But I still get well-intended people who get stuck and can’t seem to extricate themselves. I hope that I can help, but ultimately, each of us has to do the work. There are no short-cuts or easy answers, not for this Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

Best,

Wade

NYT has a good definition of psychopath


It has become commonplace to observe that corporations behave like psychopaths. They are self-interested to the point of violence, possess a vibrant disregard for laws and social mores, have an indifference to the rights of others and fail to feel remorse. A psychopath gains a person’s trust, mimics emotions but feels nothing and passes in public for human (with a charming Twitter feed, say). The psychopath is calm, calculated, scrupulous — never more so than while plotting murder. There can be no reasoning with a psychopath; neither rational argument nor blandishment has a remote chance of success.

Hi:

With Julian Assange’s arrest (https://www.vox.com/2019/4/11/18296740/julian-assange-arrested-wikileaks-charges), I guess that I need to write a little about it. The wheels are already grinding to extradite him to the USA (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-11/julian-assange-arrested-london), which is likely a foregone conclusion. I mentioned him a couple of times in Uncle Ed’s bio (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#reuters), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#nsa)), and Ed’s last online article (https://monthlyreview.org/2017/07/01/fake-news-on-russia-and-other-official-enemies/) dealt with the Wikileaks issue. The New York Times (the “Times”) has been publishing hit pieces on Assange (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/julian-assange-and-the-ne_b_11842632) for years. The hypocrisy of the Times knows no bounds, and it is partly why Ed began using “chutzpah (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah).” It was timely that Krishna posted a definition of psychopathy (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1285427&viewfull=1#post1285427) by the Times, when that organization kind of exemplifies psychopathy itself, with its “translations (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot)” and imperial apologetics (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#mistake). Empires never commit crimes; they only make “mistakes” in their high mission of spreading freedom.

The 20th century’s greatest international crime after World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good) was the American invasion of Indochina (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early).  A close second was the Tutsi rampage from Uganda (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda), through Rwanda, and into the Congo, which was supported by the USA the entire time and claimed several million lives.  The greatest international crime of the 21st century so far was the American invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). For the invasions of Indochina and Iraq, the Times served as the chief imperial propagandist and has subsequently portrayed both crimes as noble causes gone awry (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#vietnam), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pm20)).  For Rwanda, it was one of Ed’s ‘benign” genocides, and Orwell would have appreciated how far (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ratio) the Times and friends took it.

Supposedly, Wikileaks’s publications of classified information would be protected just like how the Times was protected over publishing The Pentagon Papers (https://www.history.com/topics/vietnam-war/pentagon-papers), and Wikileaks is not even an American organization. How the USA claims jurisdiction over an Australian journalist is an “interesting” legal issue. Freedom of speech in the USA is a farce, as Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#mcgehee) and other whistleblowers (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#whistleblower) discovered the hard way. As Ed and Noam discovered (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) the hard way, most censorship in the English-language media is done by private interests, not governments, and I learned about the private-interest censorship of Orwell’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#orwell) from Noam.

I have written plenty about how Assange made it easy for them, playing rock star with his groupies. Can you imagine Noam or Ed doing something like that? They would have kept digging until they found something to hang him on, but his rock-star lifestyle gave them an easy way to take him out. Of course, the “rape” investigation was a witch-hunt from the start, and it is fitting that the USA’s little imperial buddy, the UK, captured Assange for its master.

Trump repeatedly went on the record with “I love Wikileaks (https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-wikileaks-campaign-speeches-julian-assange-2017-11)” when it published emails given to it about how fairly Hillary played, and Trump’s advisor, Giuliani, stated last year that Assange should not be prosecuted (https://consortiumnews.com/2018/12/31/giuliani-says-assange-should-not-be-prosecuted/), as he specifically mentioned the Times. It looks like Assange will have a cell next to Manning’s (https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/chelsea-mannings-dont-tread-on-me-moment/), and might get the “shark tank (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes)” treatment that Dennis did, to permanently silence him. Snowden narrowly escaped their fate (https://edwardsnowden.com/asylum-in-russia/). Crucifying whistleblowers is as American as apple pie. As with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), there are officially no political prisoners in the USA. We get them on things like not filing a form (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bargain), not always using a condom, etc. The Russian collusion issue is pure fantasy, consistent with how Russia has been the USA’s official demon of the past century (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia).

The American media is a farce (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) to begin with, but this may be a key moment in American media history. We’ll see if the media goes into attack mode on Assange and mindlessly parrots the imperial propaganda as he gets strung up. What is happening is a very instructive lesson to whistleblowers and media organizations, anywhere on Earth, that even think about exposing the Empire’s crimes.

Best,

Hi:

Here is a little more on Assange. Matt Taibbi (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/rip-edward-herman-who-co-wrote-a-book-thats-now-more-important-than-ever-123411/) gave one of the best eulogies for Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#taibbi), and he recently wrote about why Assange’s arrest should scare journalists (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/assange-arrest-charges-taibbi-821107/). Another one of the best journalists out there, Caitlin Johnstone, wrote about the obvious fraudulence of the charges against Assange (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/how-you-can-be-certain-that-the-us-charge-against-assange-is-fraudulent-8eb0caa1c4f6). Glenn Greenwald, arguably the foremost author on these matters, also wrote about the situation (https://theintercept.com/2019/04/11/the-u-s-governments-indictment-of-julian-assange-poses-grave-threats-to-press-freedoms/). Here is arguably the UK’s best newspaper weighing in on it (https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/julian-assange-rape-allegations-wikileaks-press-freedom-first-amendment-ecuador-a8866141.html), and the UK’s finest journalist also wrote about it (https://consortiumnews.com/2019/04/12/assange-arrest-a-warning-from-history/). Of course, in the American media, there is rarely a hint of the real nature of the affair, such as this article from Time (http://time.com/5568366/julian-assange-wikileaks-arrest-london/), and the New York Times is cultivating a lynch mob atmosphere (https://consortiumnews.com/2019/04/13/assanges-lynch-mob-commenters-in-the-nyt/).

To be clear, here are the “crimes” that Assange stands accused of:


He didn’t always wear a condom with his groupies in Sweden, and took asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London rather than be extradited to Sweden for that “crime,” as he argued that he would then be extradited to the USA, which was dismissed by his critics as fantasy, but is, in fact, happening as I write this;
The “crime” that he may never live to see this side of the bars for: he tried to help Manning protect his/her identity as Assange’s source.


Those are the “crimes.” Any “hacking” allegations that you see in the media are pure disinformation. The Manning situation was not a hack at all, but Manning’s downloading documents that he/she had access to as part of his/her job, and Assange stands accused of trying to help Manning protect his/her identity as he/she downloaded them. The so-called “Russian hacking” of Hillary’s emails was very likely not a hack at all, which Assange played no part in. The evidence today shows that the emails were likely given to Wikileaks by a member of Hillary’s team.

Assange’s first “crime” is being characterized as “rape,” and his second one is the crime that all credible investigative journalists engage in. Again, this is actually an assault on investigative journalism, as the British government even admitted, in another document that Wikileaks published, which Pilger discussed (https://consortiumnews.com/2019/04/12/assange-arrest-a-warning-from-history/). Dennis spent two years behind bars for failing to file a form (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bargain), which was actually my job. Our “justice” and media systems are rotten to the core.

Let there be no mistaking what is happening; it is an attempt to silence all dissent to the Empire’s rampages. There is a great deal of disinformation on Assange out there, calling him a Russian agent, etc. Unlike probably every other media outlet on Earth, every single document published by Wikileaks has been proven to be genuine. This is very familiar in the USA, as many journalists have had their careers destroyed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#flak) for publishing the truth.

It is a red herring to even inquire about Assange’s motivation. His actions have spoken for themselves, as he has exposed the dirty secret dealings of elites everywhere. But even he does not have access to the good stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). There won’t be a paper trail there.

I know all too well what Kangaroo Court is like (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), and Assange is already facing it, with a leering judge (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/apr/11/assange-branded-a-narcissist-by-judge-who-found-him-guilty). Grim times, as the USA goosesteps to the right, while the UK carries its bags.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Here is a little more on Assange, before I begin my busy week. The next month is going to be crazily busy for me, and I don’t know if it will get much better after that. Crazy corporate America.

Many American mainstream media organizations are realizing that the charges against Assange are criminalizing investigative journalism (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-14/4-myths-about-julian-assange). Of course, Assange’s real crime is exposing the dark underbelly of American imperialism (https://theduran.com/julian-assange-is-guilty-of-only-one-thing-revealing-the-evil-soul-of-us-imperialism/). And since the UK is the dirtiest of imperial accomplices, as Blair played Mussolini to Bush’s Hitler (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#jackson), the UK is helping all that it can. Even the “rape” allegations against Assange were flimsy from the beginning (https://www.smh.com.au/world/no-assange-dna-on-torn-condom--report-20120916-260vs.html). The American judge that may well get the Assange case is a well-known Kangaroo Court judge (https://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/53422-rsn-assange-will-never-get-a-fair-trial-in-the-us) for the national security state, which is very familiar territory for me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail).

This is all far too familiar as just another instance of flak (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#flak), if a spectacular one. The media is already just a propaganda organ (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), as the “news” is often just a series of Big Lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), and the Assange affair is about removing all vestiges of real journalism in not only the USA, but globally. The empire cannot afford to have its crimes exposed to the public that ultimately authorizes the entire evil charade.

And Assange walked right into it, as a nerd got to play rock star for a brief time. Those two women in Sweden were among Assange’s global groupies. I have had to weed people out of my life and effort who were going to cause me trouble or already were. Very few have actually hit any of the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). I am not going make it easy for my assailants. Playing rock star like that was just asking for it.

To briefly revisit Krishna’s post on psychopaths (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1285427&viewfull=1#post1285427), the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are psychopathy writ large, and can’t be reasoned with or negotiated with. They can only be made obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear). Their only reason for a seeming reluctance to commit murder is that it tends to expose their operations and make the herd restless. Their murders are carefully made to look like something else (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tactics).

Assange is really only making life uncomfortable for the retail empire. At the GCs’ level, Assange is no threat. There are no document leaks coming from the GCs’ level of the game. As Greer has stated (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=943&viewfull=1#post943), thousands of members of the GCs’ organization have been murdered for the slightest violations of the GCs’ security protocols. While Greer has named the Mormon financial empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=940&viewfull=1#post940) as the current ringleader of the GCs, and he has also named high levels of the Jesuit order, he has admitted that he has no idea who most members of the GCs are. It is a highly secure organization, with capabilities beyond the wildest dreams of conspiracists, and thinking that they can be snuck past (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7) is a naive adolescent fantasy.

My sense is that the GCs don’t even care what happens on the retail political scene. The sitting American president is several levels down the food chain of power on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), and the Assange affair is just part of the circus. As long as activists are focused there, all is well.

It is all about energy and consciousness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical1), and everything else is noise. If we don’t solve the energy issue, ASAP, the rest won’t matter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). The surreal part is that the solutions are on the planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) and older than I am, but we don’t get any while we collectively sleep and are our own worst enemies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#attacks).

On the energy issue, in our Camelot interview, Brian noted how his energy awareness was stuck at windmills and solar panels in the 1970s (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#udall), and in his last years, he sought help in crunching the numbers on traditional alternative energy, to show how it was going to be too little and too late. Here is a recent article (https://ourfiniteworld.com/2019/04/09/the-true-feasibility-of-moving-away-from-fossil-fuels/) on that subject.

As I have written for the past 15 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#thinkable), making free energy thinkable has been my primary game. And it will remain unthinkable to the masses until free energy is delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). All Epochal changes have been this way, in that they were unimaginable until they happened (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), but I only need a tiny fraction of humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) for my approach to work. If nothing else, my path has been teaching me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :)

I have been watching videos about human origin, from CARTA which is the best resource I could find.
A few interesting videos
CARTA: Tool Use and Technology: Joseph Henrich - The Collective Brain (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl8CaJ47aQU&list=PL1B24EADC01219B23&index=2)

CARTA: Origins of Genus Homo – Herman Pontzer: Energetics and the Ecology of Early Homo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnHg5P0pVJY&list=PL1B24EADC01219B23&index=107)


CARTA:Violence in Human Evolution: Neuroendocrineology; Intergroup Violence; Humanity and Savagery (https://youtu.be/gGaQ-oEpNG0?t=2731)
Richard Wrangham has data showing planned violence in humans is similar to chimps. This is similar across societies in all epochs. While violence is down in the industrial epoch the steep hierarchy itself is caused by chimpism. Should we call it manism?

[Wade Frazier]

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1286566&viewfull=1#post1286566):

Video. Well, I’ll see if I can find the time. I’ll agree that when men rule, it can get violent. As I wrote before, my equation is: Men + Scarcity = Violence. I am working on the scarcity part of the equation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). :)

Lots of astute writing on Assange, from the and left (1 (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/the-us-government-wont-care-about-your-definition-of-journalism-after-the-assange-precedent-is-set-66ae974d23fe), 2 (https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-martyrdom-of-julian-assange/), 3 (https://www.rt.com/op-ed/456209-assange-ecuador-lenin-moreno/), 4 (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/trump-supporters-are-hurting-assange-with-their-4-d-chess-talk-f2ad9ccc163)) and right (http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2019/april/15/julian-assange-political-prisoner/) while the lapdog mainstream is cheering his arrest (https://kunstler.com/cluster****-nation/useful-idiots-on-parade/). Ed would have plenty to say about it.

Finished reading
Energy and the wealth of nations : understanding the biophysical economy by Charles A. S. Hall, Kent A. Klitgaard (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12353909-energy-and-the-wealth-of-nations)
It is an interesting book, one of the authors is a student of Howard T. Odum

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1287313&viewfull=1#post1287313):

When I read that book to use in my big essay (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroi1), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#neoclassical)), I read reviews and discussions of it on the Internet, and some slammed it for being a poor imitation of Odum’s work. I then obtained a book that Odum wrote with his wife (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0870819089/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1), and it was terrible for my needs. It was filled with cartoons and the like. But last year, I heard about his magnum opus (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0231128878/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and got it. It is almost unusable in the other way, full of technical jargon and barely suitable for my readership. That said, I am reading it, along with a bunch of other books at the same time, which is often my style, and I’ll use it for my essay update, but sparingly. There is good stuff in it. Cook’s magnum opus (http://ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#status) is better for the general audience, but still with lots of meat in it. I must have about a dozen books on energy and economy. Hall and Klitgaard’s book (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1441993975/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is repetitive, but not mind-numbingly so. It is a good introduction to the ideas.

The title of Odum’s book with his wife, The Prosperous Way Down, unfortunately echoes the environmentalist and Peak Oiler (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#fossil) creed, at least somewhat. Heinberg openly advocates austerity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity), while he semi-ridicules free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#heinberg). Odum took a little different stance, with the message that we are running out of energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil), but we can run out smartly and can gracefully downsize. There is nothing of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) in his work. Unfortunately, like Heinberg, Odum’s plan requires far more enlightenment than humanity currently evinces. Heinberg’s Plan War (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#war) is what is happening, not some kind of awakening, enlightenment, and, for Heinberg, auto-genocide.

My plan (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is far more practical than theirs, and does not go down Austerity Lane or Downsizing Lane.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I have been way too busy recently, and that will continue for another month or so. Something has to give, and it has been my public posting. I have been working on my site, and some new material and revisions will be published before long.

This will be just a few short ones on familiar subjects. When I wrote Ed’s bio, I included a little section on tobacco advertising (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#tobacco), which culminated in a section on an ad blitz for an asbestos cigarette filter (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#micronite), spearheaded by the face of modern medicine (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fishbein). At the very same time that he flacked for asbestos, he also promoted fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fluoride). At the very same time, the USA was overthrowing Guatemala’s government (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#guatemala1) by using Red Scare propaganda. The propaganda campaigns for fluoridation and overthrowing Guatemala’s government were both run by Ed Bernays (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bernays), history’s leading propagandist. While we no longer have asbestos cigarette filters, there is fluoride in my tap water today, and the “research (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory)” behind fluoridation was as legitimate as the “research” behind an asbestos cigarette filter. So, I laugh when people dismiss the tobacco shenanigans as some relic of a bygone era. I recently received such a dismissal, which brings me to vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184).

In my home state, compulsory vaccination is almost here (https://vaxxter.com/sb-1638-washington-state-vaccines/), while Bill Gates (AKA Mr. Vaccination) and friends campaign that all is well in the city of my birth (https://www.city-journal.org/seattleforall-campaign). The so-called science behind vaccination is as corrupt as the science around fluoridation, and now, a vaccine for the common cold is coming (https://vaxxter.com/researchers-are-working-on-cold-vaccine/). What evil insanity. I clearly recall a few years back when Tenpenny was invited to speak in Australia, and there was an international effort to prevent her from entering Australia. I saw her write about it recently (https://vaxxter.com/free-speech-follow-the-money-take-action/). Being banned in a so-called “free” nation, while Julian Assange (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/116-The-Media-Racket?p=1695&viewfull=1#post1695) (a citizen of that very same “free” nation) is likely going to be extradited for publishing genuine documents, is a sign of our benighted times, in The Land of the Free. These situations are why Ed had to come up with something more descriptive (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah) than “hypocrisy.” There is some dissent coming from high places (https://aapsonline.org/measles-outbreak-and-federal-vaccine-mandates/?fbclid=IwAR14tPRiZV1l6KSINFXguIacuJBr68XytbAnxGDNYhGw1q_jjiCkCH_QLBQ), but probably not enough to stop the steamroller.

As Tenpenny has written, and I saw a study a few years ago, which may have been the first of its kind, American children who are not vaccinated get more cases of measles (which was a harmless childhood disease when I was a child), but have far fewer allergies and other chronic conditions, and are far healthier in general than vaccinated children. Vaccination is a highly violent insult to human biology. As with “attack the tumor (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket)” cancer treatment and the “enamel hardening (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#hardening)” aspect of fluoridation, vaccination promoters point to antibody reactions to vaccination as a sign that vaccination “works.” The body reacts and responds to violence, and Western medicine calls those effects evidence that the violence works. That is like advocating that people get hit over the head with hammers, to treat headaches, for instance, as a lump forms and the immediate headache goes away, which shows that the hammer “works.”

Vaccination produces many long-term chronic effects, and Western medicine’s corrupt and degenerate views of biology and health are attempting to make such violations compulsory, just as fluoridation is today. We truly live in Orwell’s world (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell), while the media pretends that we don’t, just as Orwell predicted. My encounters with Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) over Ed’s bio are just more of the same, as one of the greatest instances of censorship in my lifetime (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) gets the whitewash treatment from a likely intelligence asset (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621#post1621), whom Wikipedia’s founder has openly defended.

These are truly surreal times, and we will see if I can make a dent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), but I can’t do it alone.

Best,

Wade

Yes, it is odd that most people can't see the obvious civil liberties issues surrounding the vaccine debate. If the government starts having compulsory control over what goes into your body, there is no theoretical limit to their control over your person. The average American will just accept whatever medical "expert" scares them into thinking that their neighbor's children need to be held down and forcibly injected or all of civilization is lost.

Hi Merry (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1287955&viewfull=1#post1287955):

They already do have compulsory control, as with fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory), and any “debate” is largely dead today. The propaganda and brainwashing campaign prevailed long ago, and any dissent is compared to that statement in Dr. Strangelove. Try to find unfluoridated toothpaste in the average grocery store. They hope to achieve the same for vaccination, as everybody will demand their vaccinations. I have watched people embrace certain death (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#doom) over questioning their conditioning. What a horrifying sight to behold. What we are seeing today is just more of the same, and highlights Brian’s question of whether we are a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). It is as Noam and Ed showed, how “free nations” brainwash their citizens (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing).

Best,

Wade

[Smell the Roses]

“we are an allegedly sentient species…” Fascinating idea! There must be something to this, either genetically or otherwise. Most humans certainly don't react in the real world today the way one would expect them to from, for example, reading classic literature or philosophy. The programmed responses are chilling. It's a take on the old "Take my wife...please" joke. Take my freedom...please.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Merry (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1287971&viewfull=1#post1287971):

That is a big, important subject. As Roads’s mentor said (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), we achieve true sentience through love. It is why I have always said that the journey to the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) begins in the heart (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), which leads to the awakenings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) that are going to be useful for this Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Anything less gets trapped in layers of conditioning, settling for the self-serving pabulum of our indoctrination (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms), and the truth (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress) can make sleeping heads explode. My work is not for the sleeping, and it can’t wake them up. People can only awaken by experience. To the degree that people get stuck in those layers (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level0) below Level 12 (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level12), they are not yet awake. The most spectacularly asleep are often the “smart (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3),” as they are often the most trapped and defended, they irrationally attack Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#trivial), etc. It was Brian’s encounters (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) with the “smart” that got him wondering if we are really a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). So-called “intelligence” has little to do with it.

If I had not seen Dennis regularly smeared by the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=687&viewfull=1#post687), nearly since the day that I met him (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), I wonder if I would have ever been interested in Noam and Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), or if I had, if I could have truly digested it. I had already been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) when I heard of Noam, and my media studies began soon thereafter (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big). It can really be something to digest the work of the few awake academics regarding Ed’s work, for instance. They show how the mainstream avoids the central features of Ed’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#relevance) like the plague. Those structural constraints (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) comprise the elephant in the room that they all give a wide berth to, as their mere existence shows that they are all slaves to an evil system. It is much better to pretend that they are free.

We can almost say that unless people are awake, they are not yet sentient, but are trapped by their conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded), unable to think for themselves. I have watched them march to their deaths like lemmings (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings). Our system is not designed to produce sentient beings, but cogs in the machine that punch the clock, shuffle along, watch the tube, and temporarily sate their manifold addictions before they get up the next day and do it again, on the treadmill to nowhere (or oblivion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth)). I can speak best to the USA, as I am an American, but this situation exists in all nations and social groups (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), to one degree or another. It is the state of the species. It does not have to be this way, and I am doing what I can to make a dent, and we will see how it goes.

Remove scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) as the background hum of our societies, and the human potential will flower (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive) in ways that are scarcely imaginable today. But I can’t do it by myself, nor can Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jones). Looking for needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle)…

Hi:

We’ll see how much I end up writing about the Assange affair, which won’t end any time soon. Washington Post predictably weighed in with a CFR member (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_Stanger) arguing that Assange is not a journalist (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/04/22/mueller-report-confirms-it-assange-is-not-whistleblower-or-journalist/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.93ad8a763a14). That is in the Big Lie category (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/assange-is-not-a-journalist-yes-he-is-idiot-761fa437269f), and NPR is joining the chorus (https://www.npr.org/2019/04/16/712666465/what-does-julian-assanges-arrest-mean-for-wikileaks-and-u-s-elections) of “election meddling” by the Russians. Caitlin Johnstone is one of the few sane American journalists writing on this (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/04/22/the-prosecution-of-julian-assange-is-infinitely-bigger-than-assange/). Russian “election meddling” is just part of the neo-McCarthyite hysteria (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia) that is being whipped up. As Noam said (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/04/01/noam_chomsky_trump-russia_collusion_claims_a_joke.html), this furor over Russian “hacking” and “meddling (https://truthout.org/articles/noam-chomsky-on-the-long-history-of-us-meddling-in-foreign-elections/)” is a huge joke globally (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/08/20/noam_chomsky_in_most_of_the_world__trump-russia_collusion_story_is_sen_as_a_joke_media_ingnores_serious_issues.html). The USA is the foremost meddler in elections (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#demonstration). Nobody else comes close. This is the kind of situation for which Ed had to begin using “chutzpah (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah)” to describe it, as hypocrisy was not strong enough.

The actual charges are along the lines of Orwellian Thought Crime, not anything that Assange actually did (1 (https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/04/19/the-deep-state-vs-wikileaks/), 2 (https://theintercept.com/2019/04/11/the-u-s-governments-indictment-of-julian-assange-poses-grave-threats-to-press-freedoms/)). “Kangaroo Court (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail)” barely begins to describe what is happening.

Hi:

I am going quiet for a few days, but first, a little roundup on the news. As with the American invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), which is the greatest crime of the 21st century so far, just as the American invasion of Indochina (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early) was the greatest international crime in the last half of the 20th century, the American-led overthrow and murder of Muammar Gadaffi (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya) was guaranteed to be a disaster for the Libyan people, who had Africa’s highest standard of living before Gadaffi’s murder. Uncle Mike wrote about what Libyans would never see again (https://www.globalresearch.ca/sixteen-things-libya-will-never-see-again/27280) after Gadaffi’s murder. As usual, it’s all about the oil (https://www.crisisgroup.org/middle-east-north-africa/north-africa/libya/chaos-libya-it-s-oil-stupid), Libya has been in chaos ever since (https://www.nst.com.my/world/2019/04/476360/libya-chaos-2011-overthrow-kadhafi), and Trump is fanning the flames (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/23/libya-eu-officials-hoping-donald-trump-pull-support-warlord). This is how the USA “brings freedom” to the world. The “free Syria (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#syria)” program is more of the same.

There is lot in the alternative media about how Trump is wily and how the Assange affair will be about taking out the Deep State (https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/04/24/will-julian-assange-team-up-with-trump-to-bury-russiagate-and-just-maybe-the-deep-state-once-and-for-all/). I read a recent interview with Noam, and he discussed that take on “deep thinking” Trump, playing his 4-D chess (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/04/13/trump-supporters-are-hurting-assange-with-their-4-d-chess-talk/), and Noam said that he did not see it. He said that if you just look at Trump as an egomaniac who knows that unless he serves Wall Street, his days as president are numbered, that explains his behavior.

Global debt is now three times humanity’s GDP (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-15/global-debt-of-244-trillion-nears-record-despite-faster-growth), and the central banks are blowing bubbles more fiercely than ever (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-23/fed-resigned-blowing-biggest-bubble-ever-just-extend-expansion). That debt will never be paid back. When this bubble pops, it will be an unprecedented financial catastrophe.

How about the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), instead? :)

Wade

Been reading A walk in the woods by Bill Bryson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Walk_in_the_Woods_(book))
The only book in my recent reading that is comical :)

Also have been watching more CARTA (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1B24EADC01219B23)

Ran into an interesting paper Whole-genome sequence analysis of a Pan African set of samples reveals archaic gene flow from an extinct basal population of modern humans into sub-Saharan populations (https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-019-1684-5)

Interbreeding between various human species has happened all over the world (as did eventual elimination, speculatively this seems to be an effect of demographic changes in our numbers, more than violence/killing)

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1288969&viewfull=1#post1288969):

I always mix in light stuff with the heavy lifting of my work. It helps keep me balanced. “Coincidentally,” I read for a few hours yesterday on the Bantu expansion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bantu). I recently finished The Tale of the Ax (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tale-Axe-Neolithic-Revolution-Transformed/dp/0500051860), which was about the Neolithic expansion in the British Isles, but was surprisingly good on the expansion that began from the Fertile Crescent. Yesterday I reread the Africa chapter of this book (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0199559953/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0). That book is a good example of the controversies over the spread of farming. That author continually stressed the complex nature of domestication, but I think that stressing the complexity is a little misleading. Plant and animal domestication provided orders of magnitude more calories per acre of land than hunting and gathering did, so wherever the environment was conducive to it, farmers and herders prevailed, and farming was superior to herding, so all lands conducive to farming became farms, in remarkably little time, particularly on the time scales that my work deals with. In a mere three centuries, the British Isles transitioned from hunting and gathering to farming. It looks like it was mostly adoption of the new ways rather than an invasion and population replacement.

The Bantu expansion, however, was a population replacement (https://www.africamuseum.be/publication_docs/Pakendorf_Bostoen_Filippo%202011%20Bantu%20Expansion.pdf), particularly the farmer men replacing the hunter-gatherer men. From what I have seen over the years, for those events, you have to look at the male and female DNA separately, as men and women could have very different fates.

That article (https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-019-1684-5) on archaic humans that you linked to confirms other studies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#africamegafauna). The DNA of the conquered/extincted always made it into the genome of the conqueror/invader.

I am also reading Otterbein’s magnum opus (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1585443301/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1), particularly on the rise of the pristine civilizations. As I have written, I will be breaking the Third Epoch narrative into three chapters:


Domestication
Civilization
The rise of Europe and the conquest of humanity.


A lot of work ahead of me.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Here are some odds and ends. The Assange affair (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/116-The-Media-Racket?p=1695&viewfull=1#post1695) exposes the rank corruption of the Western legal system (https://consortiumnews.com/2019/04/26/assanges-imprisonment-arguably-reveals-even-more-corruption-than-wikileaks-did/), as well as the media’s complicity (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), for those with eyes to see (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing).

Once in a while, I dip my snoot into the 9/11 evidence (https://www.corbettreport.com/911-a-conspiracy-theory/). So much about the official story does not make sense (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11), and plenty is obviously being covered up. Like the Reichstag fire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire), it was used to justify the greatest crime of its century (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). The “War on Terror (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#terror)” has always been fraudulent, as all “wars (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm)” are (drugs (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1408&viewfull=1#post1408), energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#conserve), etc.), and invading Iraq under that pretext is a typical imperial machination.

The Chernobyl disaster happened the month after I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), and this article (https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/04/22/chernobyls-deadly-effects-estimates-vary/) shows how what I have seen called the “International Atomic Mafia” has covered up the Chernobyl disaster from the beginning. A decade later, I spoke at Department of Energy hearings on the radioactive waste issue, and the official who ran the hearings admitted that the entire issue was a racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull).

It has really been something to see the media campaigns these days against people who refuse to vaccinate their children (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184). Compulsory vaccination is nearly here (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=1700&viewfull=1#post1700), and yesterday, Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/04/30/time-get-much-tougher-anti-vaccine-crowd/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.d3988a2dba2c) pulled another PropOrNot-style stunt (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#propornot). We truly live in Orwell’s’ world (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell).

This is the way of our world, as we live in scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). In virtually every area of human endeavor, and particularly those with economic impact, the rackets operate (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets), and yes, there is a ringleader organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1167&viewfull=1#post1167) that operates in the shadows, it works in this way, as everybody carves out their niches of hell and defends them to the death, even the planet’s death (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). But these activities are all symptoms (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#symptoms), not causes. My work is largely about disabusing my readers of the idea that there are a bunch of “good guys” out there, trying to right the ship. What truly good guys (and gals) exist are scattered like needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and my pantheon (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) is a small one (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts). If we want the ship righted, we need to do it. Nobody is going to do it for us. Learning to become responsible may be the entire point of being here (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving).

I have a plan that will work, if I can find enough people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) and train them. Finding them will be the hard part, and the first trainees will be the hardest ones, which is normal. I have been encouraged to create an online school and the like. Well, my forum work and site is that school for now. I don’t know if it will ever become more formal. The people that I seek will immediately sense the validity of my work, and it should not take very long to also sense its potential. The biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is no small beer.

I am currently editing another one of my big essays, as I revise it in preparation for the effort of revising my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), which will last into next year, to likely be followed by a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481). I have plenty to keep me busy, and my public posting is suffering because of it, as I juggle my crazy life to boot.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I was planning a little post on Ed and Noam today, and Googled Ed’s name, with the results attached. I doubt that my bio will ever displace Wikipedia as the top result (although it just did, when I Googled “Edward S. Herman biography” - mine came in first, and Wikipedia’s came in third, behind Wharton’s bio of Ed (https://almanac.upenn.edu/articles/edward-s-herman-wharton)), but I can definitely live with it as the second result. My little essay (https://ahealedplanet.net/bragg.htm) on Paul Bragg’s fraudulent life extension credentials is linked from Wikipedia today (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bragg#External_links). I just Googled him, and my essay came up as the third result, attached. Ralph McGehee’s Wikipedia bio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_McGehee) once linked to my essay on him (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), but that was removed long ago. Since Ralph was taken out of commission about twenty years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#mcgehee), his work is less threatening to the Establishment, so his Wikipedia bio is surprisingly quite good. No smears, like Ed and Noam got.

I just entered in Dennis’s name, along with “energy” (“Dennis M. Lee energy”), and my primary essay on Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm) only came in on page two, while Mr. Skeptic’s libelous Skeptical Inquirer article (https://skepticalinquirer.org/1997/07/examining-the-amazing-free-energy-claims-of-dennis-lee/) was the first result. Outright libel (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel) is the first result (although the Google link does not work today), and the rest of page one is no better. As I scanned down the results on Dennis, I saw one (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-06-02-me-270-story.html) that I did not see before, by the LA Times, which was once again libelous (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=687&viewfull=1#post687), as well as staggeringly incompetent. The headline said it all, “Guilty Plea to Fraud Entered by Kit Maker (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-06-02-me-270-story.html).” Dennis did not plead guilty to fraud, but to not filing a form, which his prison records confirmed (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bargain). Of course, you will never see a hint in the media that Dennis only pled because the judge took his attorney hostage (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hostage), to force Dennis to capitulate, just as Dennis’s customers were taken hostage (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#hostage) by the Attorney General in Seattle. I have never done it before, but because the LA Times could not even get the name of Dennis’s attorney (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bigtime) right, I will name him in my work for the first time. At least the LA Times reported that there was a misconduct hearing, although they would never report anything from the explosive testimony (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#raid).

In the LA Times’s libelous and incompetent account (there are several misrepresentations and outright lies in that article (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-06-02-me-270-story.html), as usual (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=685&viewfull=1#post685)), which was far worse than how the New York Times handled Ed’s obituary (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#nytobit), it stated that Dennis’s attorney was Thomas A. Cohan. His name is actually William A. Cohan (http://williamacohan.com/), and to this day, he is the foremost Constitutionalist attorney in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bigtime). He still practices in California, where he was threatened with disbarment (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#disbar) for filing a case in Federal Court (where Pregerson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1399&viewfull=1#post1399) worked), as he got the education of his life after taking Dennis’s case. The LA Times could not even get his name right. Having our efforts being on the receiving end of the media’s lies for four years, nearly since the day that I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), is what primed me for Ed’s message at Lies of Our Times (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot), which began my media studies career.

But I started writing this post to write a little more on the Lippmann issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1603&viewfull=1#post1603). Ed did not write about Lippmann much, but Noam sure did (1 (https://chomsky.info/mediacontrol01/), 2 (https://chomsky.info/199107__/)). Here is a nice recent article (https://www.synaesthesiajournal.com/uploads/7/3/4/7/73473431/bergman_spring_v1_n4.pdf) on the Lippmann/Noam issue, and here is an article (https://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/viewFile/1955/907) on how Bernays hijacked Lippmann’s work. Lots of controversy there, and my take is that while Lippmann’s work is more descriptive than prescriptive on American propaganda, at least early on, he also advocated elite decision-makers, as he argued that the public could not be counted on to make informed decisions. Noam, partly as a result of his linguistics and related work, had a high appreciation for human common sense and inherent human decency. Again, Ed did not write a whole lot on the Lippmann issue, but Noam sure did.

When I see my bio of Ed at number two at Google, my reaction is mixed. The first reaction is that with that prominence, I pray that I did Ed’s life sufficient justice. I think so, but I hope that I live to see a professional biography on Ed. I don’t really like the self-imposed pressure of trying to live up to the task of fairly presenting Ed’s life and work. My next reaction is to be happy that anybody Googling Ed has a good chance of seeing my bio and understanding what libelous garbage the Wikipedia bio is.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

In a nutshell, my work is about getting across these ideas:


Our universe is comprised of energy and consciousness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energy1);
The arrival of human consciousness on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#path) has primarily been an energy journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents), and particularly of the dynamics of relative energy abundance and scarcity;
As humanity’s energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus) has increased (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), human societies have become more humane, although humanity’s reign is also destroying Earth’s ecosystems (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), to the extent that Earth may become uninhabitable in the near future (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars), and the energy sources for this Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) are quickly being depleted (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil);
With abundant and harmless energy, produced by technologies already extant on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), an unprecedented super-Epoch of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) can be enjoyed by humanity, with nearly unimaginable consequences (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions), while Earth and humanity can heal, and much more;
However, vested interests (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) and human inertia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) have proven to be formidable obstacles to the realization of that super-Epoch, but if enough people can unite in singular purpose, in integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=1280&viewfull=1#post1280) and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), it is imminently attainable.
I am mounting an effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to safely bring those transformative technologies to humanity.

Hi:

I don’t have that many essays left to revise, before I begin the long chore of updating my big essay. I just published the revision of my cover-up essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm). Even though my forum work might often seem like a solo effort, that revision reveals some of the method of my forum madness, as I link to my forum discussions (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forum.php) several times in that revision, such as around the JFK (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page8?p=761&viewfull=1#post761), Gary Wean (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), and UFO (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page3?p=416&viewfull=1#post416) issues, and how Doug Caddy’s amazing testimony (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big) ties them together. I am posting up the famous “wink” photo, taken as Lyndon Johnson exchanged a friendly wink with Albert Thomas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Richard_Thomas#Appreciation_dinner_in_1963), as he is being sworn in next to a blood-spattered Jackie. That picture kind of says it all.

The Moon landings issue has blessedly retreated to the background. I have not been contacted on that for years. I didn’t even get into issues such as some Moon rocks are older than any rocks on Earth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rock#Dating). Hard to fake that.

Hi:

That new Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) chapter titled “Domestication (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/27-Chapter-19-Humanity%C2%92s-Third-Epochal-Event-The-Domestication-Revolution?p=1705&viewfull=1#post1705)” is going to have a lot of new material in it. The themes will not be very new to my work, but I will be stressing one aspect more than I have in the past: the societal constraints of each Epoch. Except for a brief Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer), until the easy meat was rendered extinct, hunting and gathering necessitated mobile societies, to go where the energy was. The only exceptions were where the energy came to them, generally along migration paths, either on shorelines or along terrestrial migration paths, but those generally also wore out their energy supplies by overexploitation. Until the Industrial Revolution, Malthus’s dynamic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#agciv) prevailed. Only salmon runs were sustainable (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#northwest) for sedentary, pre-agrarian societies (and some coastal societies, although they often depleted the marine resources). When energy was plentiful, life was easy, conflicts were resolved by simply moving on to new virgin hunting grounds, and violence was rare. As growing populations and dwindling game ended those golden ages, humans became territorial again and warfare became prominent again, in a pattern that goes back at least as far as chimps (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary). The hunter-gatherer societies that did not have warfare were geographically isolated, and it seems that their isolation was due to their being driven to their refuges by their victorious neighbors. So, under the Second Epoch’s energy regime, how the societies operated was quite predictable, and there really was not too much novelty. The Second Epoch’s energy levels largely determined what kinds of societies were possible.

The Third Epoch was the same, as has been the Fourth. In studying the transition from Second Epoch to Third Epoch societies, it always came down to energy. Domestication always allowed for more calories per acre, and that increased energy density meant that farmers and herders always prevailed against hunter-gatherers, in the long run. There could be resistance, and in the early days, people could incorporate domestics into their economies, while still hunting and gathering, but the more effective energy practices always prevailed. All Third Epoch societies were very similar in their basics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up3). The surplus energy largely determined what kind of societies could exist, and nobody really escaped the framework of what kinds of Third Epoch societies could exist. The energy levels were always the ultimate cause (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ultimate), and everything else was proximate.

In studying the transition to the Fourth Epoch, it was the same. Rising energy capture (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wmp1) led to the Fourth Epoch. For people who travel the world, the distinctions between industrial and agrarian societies are stark. All industrial nations look similar, and all agrarian nations look similar. The big difference between agrarian societies is whether their societies are matrilocal or not, as matrilocal societies broke up the male gangs and were relatively peaceful (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), but that condition was also economically mediated. Only in certain economic realities, based on how they got their energy, could societies become matrilocal.

Put behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap) in various energy regimes, and they will develop societies appropriate for that energy regime, and with rising energy surpluses, societies became more humane. I have made it very clear what kinds of societies become feasible under Fifth Epoch energy regimes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), and I also make it clear that without those Fifth Epoch energy levels, those societies are not really possible (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). In that way, the Fifth Epoch is not remarkable, as it will be defined by its energy practices. Geographic isolation will end in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), and there will be one global society, based on abundance, and scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) will no longer be the primary operating principles. It will be the golden age of golden ages, as humanity becomes a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev).

As I have long stated, my goal is to just make the Fifth Epoch imaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#imagine). Achieve that, with the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why), and the rest will be easy. Finding those needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) will be the hard part. There is no gathering of them on Earth today. The vast majority of humanity will not be able to even imagine the Fifth Epoch until it arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and that is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine).

Time to begin my busy day and week. My work hurricane will still blow for a couple more weeks, and then we’ll see.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

My work is not about how the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is inevitable, but about how it is attainable. The technology for it (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) is already on the planet and older than I am. Arguably all of the chapters of my big essay before the Fifth Epoch chapter are to show how my vision for the Fifth Epoch is a reasonable interpretation of the evidence. I doubt that humanity is stupid enough to just wreck the planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) even more, exploit each other even more, and have planet-wrecking wars, if there was no good reason for it. Given the opportunities of rising energy surpluses, human societies have become more humane. With abundant and harmlessly produced energy available to humanity for the first time, it would very likely be a transition into a world that is scarcely imaginable today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions).

But organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) and human inertia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) have proven to be formidable obstacles. The path to free energy and a healed humanity and planet does not have inventors and scientists leading the way (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), or through New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) or conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) approaches, but through integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=1280&viewfull=1#post1280) and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience), both of which are in very short supply on Earth today. The task is not easy, but I don’t know of anything more worthwhile.

Hi:

Some odds and ends…

I’ll be writing plenty more about bonobos in the essay update. Here is paper (https://www.emory.edu/LIVING_LINKS/publications/articles/Clay_deWaal_2014.pdf) co-authored by de Waal, on how bonobos use sex, and here is an article (http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160317-do-bonobos-really-spend-all-their-time-having-sex) on bonobo sex. Here is a study (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0174851) on their genetic heritage, which cites the lead author’s earlier paper (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26478139) on how bonobos ended up south of the Congo, and that theory is that gorillas never lived south of the Congo, but that some chimps crossed the Congo during a time when it shrank during this ice age, became isolated when the river rose, and became bonobos. That is a very interesting idea. The USA’s genocidal machinations (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda) threaten them with extinction.

Speaking of genocidal machinations, the USA’s State Department recently bragged about how it is engaging in economic warfare against Venezuela (https://www.mintpressnews.com/us-state-department-publishes-deletes-sadistic-venezuela-hit-list-boasting-ruin-economy/258189/). It is the same kind of behavior that it inflicted on pre-invasion Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#continuing), what it does to Iran today, etc. What those nations had/have in common was huge oil deposits that the USA did not control. That is all that we need to know. The rest is noise and obfuscation.

I am working on updating some of my personal essays (http://ahealedplanet.net/home.htm#personal), putting in names of the deceased (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page14?p=1491&viewfull=1#post1491). I plan to be done with essay update work in May, and off to revising the big essay.

Hi:

I am in the process of revising my My Adventures essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm), and I saw that Betsy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy), the first hatchet lady sicced on Dennis in Seattle, was disbarred in 2017 for looting an elderly client’s bank account, to the tune of nearly $200K. Dennis’s general counsel in Seattle, who helped steal Dennis’s company (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page2?p=223&viewfull=1#post223), was also disciplined for taking advantage of elderly people over estate scams, but he is still in business, only a few miles from where I live. The general idea is to get ahold of old and feeble people with money, convince them that they need expensive attorney services to set up their estates, and then milk their estates. That is what Betsy did, once she got access to her client’s bank account, and Dennis’s general counsel was involved in more of an assembly-line scam, selling trust services for several thousand dollars a pop, when a few hundred dollars was appropriate.

So, Betsy was run out of Washington State, has set up shop in Arizona, and teaches law school today, of all things. She also taught law school in Seattle, until she was disbarred. Ms. Pinch Hitter (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#pinch) is still around, however, and is also a law school professor and a noted “philanthropist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy).” If I ever spoke publicly in Seattle, or had some other kind of public profile in my home state, I would likely get Ms. Pinch Hitter’s attention, and I don’t need that. These are the saints of the legal profession. Betsy was arguably the “best” of those three, who actually had a bout of conscience (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#boyfriend) as she assaulted Dennis’s company, when she was prodded enough. Betsy and Ms. Pinch Hitter were zealous “protectors” of the public’s interest, as they helped wipe out the greatest effort ever made (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run) to bring alternative energy to the public.

How the heck can you honestly attack a company that put the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on customers’ homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs)? Even if I had not been there for it, what happened in Seattle and Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr) should be required study for anybody who wants to begin to understand how our world really works, particularly in the energy industry. Also, seeing how those days are lied about, by the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707), “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel),” and even talking heads in the free energy field (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), only drives home my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). That is why I keep stating that it is about integrity and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1711&viewfull=1#post1711). Everything else takes a back seat to that.

Hi:

Here is an example of what I sometimes get because I read so much. In writing about Gary last year (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), I ended up reading a lot on JFK, and not just about his assassination. This post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1444&viewfull=1#post1444), in which I mention that JFK invited African diplomats (https://www.jfklibrary.org/learn/about-jfk/jfk-in-history/john-f-kennedy-and-african-independence) into his residential quarters to meet Jackie and the kids, came from something I read last year, and I thought that it was from one of my books. I can see some of the pages in my mind’s eye. I thought that it might be from Ordeal in Africa (http://www.orwelltoday.com/jfkcongo.shtml), but I went through the book this morning and did not find it. I went through several other JFK books that I referred to last year, and did not find the passage. Damn! I have not given up yet, but this has been a frustrating morning.

Here is an essay (https://commons.lib.jmu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1036&context=mhr) on the about-face that JFK took, versus Eisenhower, on African independence. The African issue had a direct impact on JFK’s civil rights efforts (http://www.indiana.edu/~psource/PDF/Archive%20Articles/Spring2012/2012%20-%20Spring%20-%208%20-%20Murray%20Vachon,%20Nicholas.pdf), with an international scandal when an African diplomat was refused service at a Howard Johnson’s (https://www.history.com/news/african-diplomat-segregation-scandal-jfk). I have to admit that Noam never even wrote about JFK’s African policy, as far as I know, which would have highlighted the friction that JFK had with the American establishment. No American president before or since treated Africa that way. JFK was the first postwar president who did not call American blacks “niggers” in private (and maybe the first president ever), and Johnson (http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/lyndon-johnson-civil-rights-racism) and Nixon (https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/******#In_politics) also called them that, while Reagan had quite a repertoire of black jokes (http://blacknewsweekly.com/new86.html). JFK was an anomaly in more than one way, and such stances alienated him from the American oligarchy to the extent that they had him killed.

Hi:

Graeme Barker’s masterpiece (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0199559953/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) on the domestication revolution will play a role in my Domestication chapter in my essay update, but I definitely have bones to pick with it. How War Began (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1585443301/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1) is Keith Otterbein’s masterpiece, and I have written about his hypothesis before at length (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page7?p=873&viewfull=1#post873). Otterbein’s hypothesis is a multidisciplinary one, and a key aspect of it is the idea that farming could only begin where large game had been rendered extinct. Hunters become raiders, and early attempts at farming would not have worked if they were subject to raids from hungry hunters. Among warfare theorists (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0226476294/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1), Otterbein’s hypothesis is taken very seriously, but in Barker’s summary chapter on pondering what spurred domestication, in which he even listed the “alien influence” New Age theory, of nearly 50 listed reasons given over the years, the extinction of big game is not even mentioned. What a glaring hole in Barker’s work. Similar to Ed and Noam’s work on Vietnam, in which the obvious conclusion – that the USA had committed a monstrous crime – was unthinkable (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#tragic), among anthropologists like Barker, Otterbein’s hypothesis is also unthinkable, not even present to be refuted.

I recently read David Miles’s masterpiece (https://www.amazon.com/Tale-Axe-Neolithic-Revolution-Transformed/dp/0500051860/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+tale+of+the+axe&qid=1557667438&s=books&sr=1-1), on how farming came to the British Isles, and he only mentioned the megafauna extinctions in passing, and only gave slight nods to human influence. People just don’t want to admit what their ancestors did, as they defend their in-groups (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), and when I see scientists do that, I have to shake my head. When I see scientists focus on the mammoth extinction, to the exclusion of similar extinctions, they are either playing knowing games of obfuscation, or just can’t think for themselves. All members of the elephant family in the Western Hemisphere went extinct soon after human arrival, not just mammoths, and they lived there for more than 16 million years. The elephant family was the most successful land mammal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elephantsuccess) before the rise of humans, and focusing on climate change explanations, such as for the mammoth, is a red herring, and part of me wonders how those scientists can be so blind and/or stupid. IMO, it is just the limitations of intellectuals, which Noam has written about for many years (https://chomsky.info/19670223/).

Wade

Hi:

If I outlive Dennis and a few other key people, my My Adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm) essay will receive quite an overhaul, as I will be freed to be far more disclosing, but what I published a few minutes ago will be about my final word on my adventures for now. If I get to make those future disclosures, that essay will become far more spectacular, it will become even more evident that we were high on Godzilla’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) radar, and Dennis continued to be for many years afterward. Dennis turned 73 the other day, and is probably getting too old to maintain his incredible pace.

I added several names, and linked to lengthy forum discussions, putting a lot of meat on those bones. My essay on Dennis’s adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm) is the next one on my list, and after that, I don’t plan any other significant essay revisions before I get cracking on my big essay, version 2.0.

Best,

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I recently updated my cover-up essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm), in preparation for updating my big essay, and the JFK section (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean) was revised a bit. My work on JFK is more about how Oswald was anything but the lone assassin, and how the official investigations were shams, more than it is about who did it and why, but I have my ideas on that, too. I have done this before, here (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1444&viewfull=1#post1444) and there (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page8?p=762&viewfull=1#post762), and I do it somewhat in my essay revision, but here I go again, partly to put some meat on the bones of my posts in this forum.

Even a casual review of the JFK assassination issue brings up a bewildering range of evidence and theories. Some is active disinformation, purveyed by various interests, and I am sure that the CIA is behind at least some of it, and probably the FBI, too. The evidence that I consider the most persuasive (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1442&viewfull=1#post1442), aside from Gary’s testimony (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1401&viewfull=1#post1401), which I consider to be a fact, points very strongly to the idea that Oswald’s intelligence background got him fatally tangled in the JFK issue, and I recently published the “wink (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page3?p=1709&viewfull=1#post1709)” photo, to show how broken up LBJ was to ascend in that manner to the presidency. It is nothing short of mind-boggling for LBJ to trade a wink with a supporter as he is being sworn in next to a blood-spattered Jackie. LBJ was the immediate beneficiary of the JFK hit, and what is allegedly in those Pegasus tapes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1429&viewfull=1#post1429) is no big surprise. If Allen Dulles (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#dulles) was involved in planning it, that makes perfect sense, and aligns with my ideas of who pulled it off. LBJ stepped down within days of a visit from Wall Street’s “Wise Men (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/25/this-day-in-politics-march-25-1968-477991),” who told him how it was going to be.

Doug Caddy’s incredible testimony (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), of what his pal E. Howard Hunt told him, is icing on the cake to me. Brian O’Leary’s life was shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) when he poked into the UFO issue, as the spooks play hardball. Uncle Noam’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1444&viewfull=1#post1444) aside, JFK was a reluctant imperialist, and he came into office at odds with the CIA, as they murdered Lumumba (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#lumumba) before JFK even took office. They tried to overthrow the French government within days of the Bay of Pigs disaster, and the next year, de Gaulle was nearly assassinated (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1444&viewfull=1#post1444) by an operation that looked just like what happened in Dallas the year after that, and de Gaulle had no doubt that JFK was taken out in a similar, CIA-mounted effort.

I think that JFK was taken out by the spooks, and the CIA in particular, who used contract agents and gangsters such as Jack Ruby (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#ruby), which was typical CIA behavior, and JFK was ultimately taken out by the CIA’s sponsors, which have always been Wall Street players. A book was written (https://www.amazon.com/Battling-Wall-Street-Kennedy-presidency/dp/1615779604) about JFK’s battles with Wall Street, and I have little doubt that the order for taking out JFK emanated from the Eastern Oligarchy, and the Rockefeller camp in particular. It would not surprise me at all if David Rockefeller gave the nod, and he had his oar in the water clear into his 90s, as his call to my former partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) demonstrated. David was the “Chairman of the Board” of the Eastern Oligarchy, and the Rockefellers were involved in my journey more than once.

However, the Rockefellers are not at the top of the global food chain, but down a level or two (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). You have never heard of the people who really run the world, other than some factions of organizations that people such as Greer have named (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938). While I think that JFK was taken out by domestic interests, his broaching of the ET issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm) may have been the final nail in his coffin. I have long been on-board with the idea that the ET issue is not kept under wraps because of some benevolent protection of humanity’s fragile psyche, to prevent a War of the Worlds reaction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(radio_drama)#Public_reaction), but to make sure that the ET technologies are kept under wraps. They don’t keep them under wraps to prevent a very short World War III (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII) being waged with them, but to preserve their earthly power. They know that it is Game Over for all elites on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) if those transformative technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) made it into the public’s hands. Earth could look a lot like heaven then (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), but also, those at the top (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) would no longer call the shots from their hidden thrones, and their lust for power is insatiable. Cooler heads may prevail at those levels, but I am not going to sit around and let them decide humanity’s fate. Who put them in charge?

In that way, I have connections to the JFK hit that are far stronger and more significant than being Gary’s friend (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1442&viewfull=1#post1442). So, that is my take on the why of the JFK hit. There were many overlapping interests and players, which is partly what has made the JFK assassination milieu such a circus (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#jfk). You can take any number of lines of evidence and disappear down those rabbit holes. I think that taking those rides can be very educational (and on other subjects (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo)), as long as you don’t get too lost and keep coming up for air. If I had not had my wild ride (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#background), I would likely not have much worth saying, and Gary was a key player in my journey and he will always be in my pantheon. His testimony deserves to be taken very seriously.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Before I go back to essay editing, a little science news. Recent findings may give catastrophists more fuel for their fire. Scientists have amassed evidence that a meteor strike, similar to the Tunguska event (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event), may have wiped out an ancient city (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/exploding-meteor-may-have-wiped-out-ancient-dead-sea-communities) that may have been the biblical Sodom (https://www.baslibrary.org/biblical-archaeology-review/39/2/2). There seems to be a well-preserved impact crater under Greenland’s ice (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/greenland-impact-crater-top-science-stories-2018-yir), which is being speculated as causing the Younger Dryas event (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas). It does not mean a revival of Velikovsky’s planetary billiard scenarios (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky), but it could be related to the ancient predilection with the heavens: they could rain down fire and catastrophe.

A study of Neanderthal teeth (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/fossil-teeth-push-human-neandertal-split-back-about-1-million-years-ago?tgt=nr) proposes that the split from our last common ancestor may be about a million years old. Denisovans may have lived on the Tibetan Plateau (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/jawbone-shows-denisovans-lived-tibetan-plateau-long-humans?tgt=nr) over 160K years ago. Stone tool makers (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/ancient-homo-stone-tools-north-africa-arabia-early) seem to have made it to northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula about 2.4M years ago. Discoveries like these are consistent with the trends in science, in that new discoveries often push back the dates of events such as those. None of those discoveries are radical game-changers for the current theories, but confirm what was suspected. Will the control of fire be pushed back to Wrangham’s two million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1)? It would not be very surprising. The control of fire was a radical game changer in the human journey. The accepted time has now been pushed back to one million years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_of_fire_by_early_humans). We’ll see what I live to see on that front. Of course, the control of fire was an energy event above all else. It marked such a radical departure that I have a hard time imagining that any societies that controlled it lost that control and reverted back to pre-fire cultures.

The fusion processes that created elements such as gold and platinum were so extreme that colliding neutron stars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-process#Astrophysical_sites) have been proposed for their creation. Another type of event is now being proposed, with stars called collapsars (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/dying-stars-called-collapsars-may-forge-much-universe-gold?tgt=nr), as they collapse into black holes.

Those kinds of findings will likely make it into my essay update.

Alleles associated with physical activity levels are estimated to be older than anatomically modern humans (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0216155)

Wanderlust is in the genes, even more interestingly the authors put stone tools after controlled fires around than 3 million years ago.

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1291777&viewfull=1#post1291777):

This may be related to a Scientific American article that I read a few months ago, in which it was argued that humans are dependent on high aerobic activity, and develop health issues if we don’t get it. My guess is that it goes back to Homo erectus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus), at least, when the human line became very mobile. On that early control of fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), there is definitely morphological and genetic evidence that suggests that it is that old, but no physical evidence of fires. But that evidence is likely going to be hard to find, and will rely on state-of-the-art or yet-to-be-invented methods. What was interesting in that book that I recently read on the British Neolithic (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/132-New-Chapter-on-Domestication?p=1715&viewfull=1#post1715) was that when excavating Neolithic sites, which are only six thousand years old or so, they almost never find evidence of fires, even though fire was part of their daily lives. So, imagine how hard it is going to be for sites that are hundreds of times older.

In another forum…

Hi Rob (http://jfkconspiracyforum.freeforums.net/post/659/thread):

As far as families go, there is certainly a dynastic aspect to the world’s power structure, but factions of the organizations that sit above the Rockefellers include the Mormon financial empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mormon) and the Jesuit order, and there have been interesting Jesuit anecdotes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) that may be related. Of course, Forrestal’s death has long been suspected to be ET-related. The Rothschild family (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller2) also got involved in Dennis’s journey. As far as dynastic names go, they may be the two biggest, but the sense I have is that at the highest levels (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), it is not that dynastic, but more corporate. My CIA-contract-agent relative (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia) almost tried to recruit me into the “business,” so you can see a familial connection, even with the muscle. He worked for a household-name diplomat who worked for the Rockefellers.

I doubt that my list (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) will change much, on the levels of Earth’s power structure. It is not that interesting to me. I just acknowledge its existence, and try to guide my pupils away from drawing too much attention from them, although anybody who interacts with me, publicly or privately, likely ends up on the radar (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic). But I would not worry about anything going on in this forum. :) I am the only person risking himself with my public work. Nobody who interacts with me is, at least not from the power structure. Proselytizing to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) is where they get into trouble, and I always do my best to discourage them from that. Few listen, and the best of them come to me after trying that route, usually with tales of ostracism.

Hi Rob (http://jfkconspiracyforum.freeforums.net/post/659/thread):

On the JFK-ET angle, that JFK would have known of the ETs in the 40s is no surprise. I could go on for days on that angle, to the Jackie Gleason connection (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page4?p=648&viewfull=1#post648), etc. Doug Caddy’s amazing testimony (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), of what his pal E. Howard Hunt (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#hunt) told him, aligns nicely with the evidence. One of Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) was the White House’s military attaché, who had a UFO conversation with JFK on Air Force One, on the way to his famous Berlin speech. Greer was given the famous Marilyn Monroe wiretap document via the NSA, and a book has been written about Monroe and that wiretap document (https://www.amazon.com/Murder-Marilyn-Monroe-Donald-Burleson/dp/0964958058). Gary was close to Monroe’s death, too, and knew that it was not a suicide (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#monroe). Monroe was in way over her head, which cost her her life. The entire situation can seem surreal, and I have several connections to that milieu, including the Frank Sinatra connection (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1408&viewfull=1#post1408). :)

The ET connection can seem bizarre, and you have to watch Caddy’s interview (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=321167), in which he brings up that event, near the end of the interview, to get a feel for how extraordinary that disclosure was. Doug seems like the last person on Earth who would be interested in the ET/UFO milieu. Very strange material, and you have to be very well grounded to being navigating that terrain.

Hi Rob (http://jfkconspiracyforum.freeforums.net/post/663/thread):

You are right about the families, and the Rockefellers are a case in point. Greer’s mentor on the UFO issue was Laurance Rockefeller (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=944&viewfull=1#post944), and when Greer hung out with the Rockefellers, he could tell that they had handlers, to make sure that they stayed within the paradigm and didn’t do anything to rock the boat. David dabbled with the dark forces, while Laurance was the family’s philosopher-king, while Nelson played the retail political game. A member of Dennis’s organization once had lunch with a Rockefeller heir, and the heir said that he did not know of one family, at the dynastic wealth level, that built their fortunes honestly. They were all criminal enterprises, to one degree or another. The scions of those dynasties are mostly a bunch of clueless trust funders, but it seems that a few are picked to carry on. That is a pretty strange milieu.

Hi:

Time to write a little about Brian O. A new book came out (https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/university-of-nebraska-press/9781496206756/), by the same author who wrote the book on NASA’s scientist-astronauts (https://www.amazon.com/NASAs-Scientist-Astronauts-Springer-Praxis-Books/dp/0387218971/ref=sr_1_13?qid=1558188942&refinements=p_27%3AColin+Burgess&s=books&sr=1-13&text=Colin+Burgess), which I used in Brian’s bio. An insightful article (https://space.nss.org/in-excess-the-travails-of-1967s-astronaut-class/) came out in its wake, and it is nice to see how Brian’s views are still relevant. The same boorish Wikipedia admin who erased my changes to Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1368&viewfull=1#post1368) also erased a lot of Brian’s bio. So, once again (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=385252), the admins acted worse than the trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll1).

Seeing insightful articles about Brian is a rarity. More often, his memory is subjected to inaccurate, misleading, and even juvenile (http://humansofsiliconvalley.com/book-review-1-making-ex-astronaut-brian-oleary/) articles, and you can see somebody named Gordon who lets fly with his off-base opinions (1 (https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/0718108493/ref=acr_dpproductdetail_text?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1), 2 (http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum38/HTML/000163.html)), as is typical with armchair space enthusiasts. Here is a passage (https://books.google.com/books?id=-dLFAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA90&lpg=PA90&dq=o%27leary+xs-11+nasa&source=bl&ots=fTKpIAtLgC&sig=ACfU3U1zPNj6LvtKF4bv6d5Y4T1mc0Qx-w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiOq9KG86PiAhXY3J4KHYT-Ayk4ChDoATABegQICBAB#v=onepage&q=o'leary%20xs-11%20nasa&f=false) from another book that I have ordered, as I prepare to beef up Brian’s bio a bit, after the latest outrage at Wikipedia.

It definitely turned out like I thought it would: doing his NASA bio was the easy part (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=284&viewfull=1#post284), and the astronaut corps actually acted the best out of all of the players in the controversy around Brian. At least the trolls and other assailants were not able to erase Brian’s Martian credentials (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars), although a leading space “skeptic” tried to debunk them (rather stupidly (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/91-Scientific-literacy/page3?p=556&viewfull=1#post556)), and he was in a position to campaign to NASA to get Brian’s Martian credentials erased from his NASA bio. At least that did not happen, and even though Brian’s bio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_O%27Leary) is a stub (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Brian_O%27Leary) at Wikipedia today, and may always be, at least it is not dominated by his statements about the Moon landings (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#statement). Brian had his reasons (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1211&viewfull=1#post1211).

Brian’s poking into the UFO issue shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), courtesy of the USA’s military, and he is still quoted on it (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4386290/Nasa-astronauts-reveal-think-aliens-real.html), but you won’t see much discussion on the Internet on the subject.

In another forum (http://jfkconspiracyforum.freeforums.net/post/311/thread)…

With my recent update of my cover-up essay, which included the JFK assassination parts (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), I will reply to this thread in some detail. I recently wrote a series of posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1408&viewfull=1), intended to be the last word on my relationship with Gary. I had the same thread going in another JFK forum (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=385206), then a troll attacked, and the admin erased my thread (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=385252). This has been a typical experience for me, in that the admins are actually worse than the trolls. An admin ran me out of a forum that I was invited into (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=640&viewfull=1#post640) (which has since disappeared) as he gullibly fell under the spell of the disinformation about Dennis, and what happened when I tried to improve Ed Herman’s biography at Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) has become notorious. Not only did the trolls and disinformation professionals (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621&viewfull=1#post1621) prevail, but the Wikipedia admins acted the worst of all. I witnessed similar behavior a decade earlier (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikimass.htm), so it was no great surprise what happened, but it emphasizes the Orwellian times that we live in (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell).

Gary came through in my hour of need (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it), and for that, he will always be in my pantheon. Taking on the gangsters that run Ventura County was a heroic effort, and Gary paid in many ways, and he died, destitute, in exile in Oregon, with a warrant for his wife’s arrest. Gary endlessly waged lawsuits against the establishment gangsters, to only have people like Harry Pregerson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1399&viewfull=1#post1399) intervene and illegally dismiss his lawsuits, try to have him killed (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#hit), and other outrages. Gary gave the good fight. I recently heard from a close relative that a relative was recently reading Gary’s book in Ventura, and was amazed by the revelations. Today, Gary’s book costs more than $600 at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Theres-Fish-Courthouse-Gary-Wean/dp/0962419419), so, it is pretty much out of circulation today.

Gary’s chapter on the JFK hit (http://www.kenrahn.com/JFK/Critical_Summaries/Articles/Wean_Chap_44.html) is a minor one, near the book’s end, and is far from central to the tale of Gary’s adventures. Like me (http://jfkconspiracyforum.freeforums.net/post/364/thread), Gary had his ideas of who pulled off the hit and why. He named the Jewish mob, and he was onboard with the idea that JFK’s attempts to end the Cold War are why he died. Gary had encounters with Jack Ruby in the 1940s (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#ruby), related to his surveillance of Mickey Cohen (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#cohen), and Gary’s ideas on Mob involvement on JFK’s death deserve to be taken seriously. Ruby’s involvement shows that the Jewish mob was indeed involved, and some of Gary’s evidence, such as a phone call from Oxnard, is more grist for the JFK mill.

I’ll say this: anybody who thinks that Gary made up his JFK tale, to sell books or somehow gain notoriety, has no idea how the world really works. Gary constantly waged lawsuits, trying to get the evidence on the record (not JFK evidence, but other evidence), and risking his life to do so. When I met with Gary, he said that the only reason why he was still alive was that he never broke the law, no matter how galling it was to him. If he had, it would have been an excuse to have him murdered, and political murder was common in Ventura County. So, Gary lived his life under a microscope, with his life constantly at risk. There is no way on Earth that, in the middle of that ordeal, that he would make up some tall tale about the JFK hit. It would be as if Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm) made up events in his memoirs. They knew what they were in for, and were not going to make it easy for their assailants, and lying was contrary to their natures in the first place.

With my wild ride (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm), and those of my fellow travelers (I made a post on Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1723&viewfull=1#post1723) this morning), the JFK issue is a minor aspect of our work, but it still has its importance. I’ll make some posts on my JFK sections of my cover-up essay, and discuss them in a way that I have not done before, kind of giving the history of my involvement in the issue, and how I see Gary’s testimony today.

Best,

Wade

Hi Rob (http://jfkconspiracyforum.freeforums.net/post/667/thread):

You mean this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Wsb4qBckU)? It is the standard NWO fare, and nothing would surprise me in those areas. For me, I try to not pay too much attention to the antics at those levels. Many of those plans and manipulations are real, and at various stages of implementation, but there is also division at those levels. My friend’s kidnapping and exotic technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173) provides evidence that cooler heads may prevail. For me, it is enough to know that those technologies are real and what their potential is (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate). I am trying to make it about what we do, not what they do. It is easy to fall into the conspiracist trap, and I never saw any good come from that.

Hi:

My recent science news post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1291686&viewfull=1#post1291686) is an example of the many roles that energy plays. All of those news items have an energy aspect to them, which is usually the primary aspect. Meteor strikes are energy events above all else, releasing incredible amounts of energy with their impacts, even if they “only” vaporize before impact, such as at Tunguska (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event).

Denisovans living on the Tibetan Plateau (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/jawbone-shows-denisovans-lived-tibetan-plateau-long-humans?tgt=nr) had to develop genes that allowed them to breathe at those altitudes, which today’s Tibetans benefit from (https://cosmosmagazine.com/biology/tibetans-inherited-a-high-altitude-gene-from-ancient-denisovans). I have had the “pleasure” of altitude sickness (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page10?p=1146&viewfull=1#post1146), which may limit my remaining hiking years. Altitude sickness is about not getting enough oxygen, which is used to burn the fires of the human energy dynamo.

When I updated my fluoridation essay back in 2017, I added material about the electron transport chain and programmed cell death (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#enzymes). I’ll write more about that in my essay update. The oxygen molecule acts like a big electron vacuum cleaner, sucking those electrons through the electron transport chain. Oxygen is the second most electronegative element (http://www.thecatalyst.org/electabl.html), behind fluorine. Oxygen was used because it packs the most punch, at least, that can be used. Fluorine packs too much punch, wrecking everything around it, which is why no life uses fluorine, other than for making poisons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine#Biological_role). That is another reason why fluoridation is insane. But life could not have used oxygen until it had figured out a way to make it. Four billion years ago, all oxygen, like fluorine today, was bound up in compounds, not floating around free, because it was so reactive.

Atmospheric oxygen was only made possible when a photosynthesizing bacterium learned to split water to get the electron needed for photosynthesis. Scientists believe that it happened only once (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis2), as in only one bacterium learned that trick, and today, all oxygenic photosynthesizers are descended from that bacterium. All free oxygen on Earth has that bacterium to thank, and even more. Liberating oxygen like that also saved Earth’s ocean (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oceansaved), and hence, all life on Earth. I have seen big name scientists such as Richard Feynman (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#feynman) not understand that vitally important issue. Feynman was far from alone in assuming that when plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugars, and release oxygen, that the oxygen came from liberating it from the carbon dioxide, when it was really liberated from the water.

In fact, liberating the oxygen from the water is vastly more important than even that. Liberating oxygen from water gives us hydrogen, and the only protons that life can use came from hydrogen (it is the only known source of single protons). In that depiction of the electron transport chain (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#enzymes), you can see that the power of transporting those electrons primarily moved protons across a membrane, to only come back through the “turbine” of ATP synthase, which is how complex life makes ATP, which powers all life. So, it is impossible to overstate the importance of that bacterium that learned to split water.

The control of fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1) was the seminal event in the human journey. We likely would not even have any Homo sapiens without the control of fire. It was an energy event above all else.

Obviously, colliding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-process#Astrophysical_sites) or collapsing (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/dying-stars-called-collapsars-may-forge-much-universe-gold?tgt=nr) stars are energy events above all else, releasing almost unimaginable amounts of energy, which gave us gold and other heavy elements.

One could say that helping my readers think in energetic terms is the entire point of my big essay, but it is also about consciousness, which has been there from the beginning, too.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I took the day off from work on Friday, to continue the process of downsizing my library. I got rid of an entire recycling bin of magazines, primarily channeled, but from many other genres, and I was surprised once again to see all of the magazines that I subscribed to over the years. It amounted to dozens of publications.

While I was at it, I thought about my recent JFK posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page3?p=1709&viewfull=1#post1709) and wondered when I began to dig into the JFK issue, after reading Gary’s tale (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower), and it is as I thought: I bought High Treason (https://www.amazon.com/High-Treason-Robert-J-Groden/dp/0425123448) in late 1990, as I was diving into many issues (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739), in my radicalized state. Nothing was sacred or safe, as I dove into the alternative media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) (from left structuralism to right conspiracism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism)) alternative medicine (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens), lots of mystical and channeled works (http://ahealedplanet.net/links.htm#spiritual), was soon digesting the history that was not taught to me in school (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), was studying thermodynamics (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#carnot) and Fischer’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer) and Mr. Mentor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) patents, and I happened onto Moongate in those days (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#neutral). Although my father worked in Mission Control (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), I was open to the idea that things were covered up about the Moon landings, although I was kind of involuntarily dragged into the faked Moon landing issue, and when Brian O was on national TV (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#apollo), expressing his “skepticism” on the Moon landings, I just had to get to the bottom of it (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), and doing that is what made Brian into a close colleague (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#governor).

I have seen criticism that I deal with the JFK hit (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), the Moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), and UFOs (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big) in the same essay, as if the nuttiness of the faked Moon landing crowd taints my JFK work. Science and scholarship are really approaches more than anything else. Science and scholarship, when they aspire toward their ideals, can be powerful tools of discovery and investigation. But those ideals have never been met, and reading on Noam and the attacks on him by intellectuals (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms) can be a very sobering process, which echoed Orwell’s views (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#threadbare).

Those subjects, and more, are under one roof in that essay because they are all conspiratorial topics, and the JFK hit surprisingly does have an ET connection (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), and it could be the key issue in his death (http://freedom-articles.toolsforfreedom.com/jfk-murdered-ultimate-reason/). That essay was largely about the process of investigating those subjects, of how you can get sucked down rabbit holes, how you can get in over your head, and how the process can be perilous, in several ways (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#dangers), but you can also get the truth, or something close to it, if you try hard enough.

Because of my relationship with Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), I have considered his reporting of the John Tower conversation to be fact, and from High Treason onward, I always looked at the JFK assassination evidence by comparing it to Gary’s story. Did it contradict it? Did it confirm it? A falsifiable hypothesis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories) is arguably the sine qua non of science, and I never saw a convincing piece of evidence falsify Gary’s story. Far more often, it confirmed it, and sometimes spectacularly, such as the Operation Northwoods documents (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#northwoods). The Northwoods documents ironically came to light (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods#Origins_and_public_release) via Bill Clinton’s JFK efforts, and it confirmed Gary’s reporting like nothing else that I have seen, but to this day, I have rarely seen the Northwoods documents mentioned, as far as their relevance to Gary’s story, other than in Michael Collins Piper’s book (http://www.serendipity.li/zionism/Final_Judgment.pdf). I’ll save Piper’s story for later, but you can see him mention me in that document, when he wrote:


“Nobody ‘forced’ me into giving his book the recognition it was due. In fact, Gary's friend, Wade Frazier, has pointed out that I'm one of the few who has even given any credence or publicity to Gary.”


That friction between Gary and Piper was kind of sad, but also too common. They probably patched it up on the other side (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#afterlife). More than ten years after reading High Treason, I went public with my cover-up essay. The JFK section of my home library is somewhere around 50 volumes, which is modest for serious JFK researchers, but I never tried to get to the bottom of the crime, and I doubt that anybody can, unless they participated in it, and few of such people would be alive today. For me, it was plenty to know that Oswald was no Lone Nut assassin and that the official investigations were shams, as that lays bare the legitimacy of the American government, as well as the media’s shameful performance. The sitting American president can be murdered in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses, and it all gets covered up. What can’t they cover up?

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Yesterday, I was reading that new book on the astronauts (https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/university-of-nebraska-press/9781496206756/), and I read the chapter on Philip Chapman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_K._Chapman), the first Australian astronaut and who was in Brian’s astronaut group. His life was as eventful as Brian’s in ways. There were no slouches in the astronaut corps. However, the chapter on Chapman, and the book in general, was very frank on the political nature of NASA and the astronaut corps. Astronauts fought over assignments, and the politicking was intense. The astronaut corps was pretty dysfunctional. Not long ago, I read Buzz Aldrin state that his lunar adventure largely led to envy and jealousy among his astronautic brethren, not happiness for him and appreciation.

I have had to long ponder the unsavory aspects of NASA’s culture, beginning when the military took vengeance on my father’s abandonment of the Space Race (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1407&viewfull=1#post1407), and Brian’s first book (https://www.amazon.com/making-ex-astronaut-Brian-OLeary/dp/B0006C0CT6) was the first critical insider account of the astronaut corps. To this day, NASA fanboys are uniformly disdainful of Brian and his “disrespect” of NASA, but his formerly “radical” views have become increasingly mainstream, and as a pal wrote in recent years, who worked in Mission Control and helped put the ISS in orbit, today’s NASA is a pale shadow of its glory days in the 1960s, full of glory hounds and wannabees, trying to recapture the cachet of those halcyonic days. Today, in sober NASA scholarship and commentary, I see Brian’s NASA observations quoted more as sage and prescient reflections, far ahead of his time, than I do the disdain that marked his last years, when he didn’t even have a bio at NASA’s site (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1211&viewfull=1#post1211).

But in the days since I was a space brat (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), many dark aspects of the USA’s space efforts have come to my attention. Where to even start? I suppose that I could start with the NASA Nazis (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#nazi), led by Wernher von Braun, who was the reason why Brian was hired as an astronaut (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars), as the first talent in the stable for von Braun’s Mars dreams. Last year, I read several books on Operation Paperclip, and von Braun came off as kind of a monster. An SS-man, von Braun was proud of the slave workforce that he assembled to work on the V-2 rockets. The V-2 was almost exclusively aimed at cities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket#Operational_history), which was a war crime in itself (but the USA dwarfed those crimes (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping), in the end), but more than 20,000 people died to make those V-2s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittelwerk#Aftermath). After their capture by the Americans, von Braun acted like a rock star, signing autographs and the like. It was all pretty macabre.

But the USA could not get enough German scientists with the desired credentials, and it quickly turned a blind eye to scientists and doctors who performed human experiments in the death camps, and put them on the American payroll while covering up their past in the name of national security. Disney made von Braun into a household name in the 1950s, as he hosted a show for the kiddies (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#atom) and designed a Disneyland ride, and his sidekick helped Disney promote nuclear energy to children (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Friend_the_Atom). That was all before the Space Race, and JFK did not even want a space race, but tried to end it (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big) soon before he was murdered, and that effort might be why he was murdered.

Greer has long maintained (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=943&viewfull=1#post943) that Armstrong and Aldrin had an ET encounter on the Moon, and that was partly why they were such “changed” men when they returned. I have been given inside information on astronautic encounters with ETs in space (including a rather spectacular encounter), and when Brian poked his nose into the UFO issue, it shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), courtesy of the American military. I was recently contacted by a relative of a Moon-walking astronaut, because of my Apollo section of my cover-up essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo). It is pretty dark stuff, all around.

Buzz Aldrin was so rudderless after returning from the Moon that he ended up in a mental institution and tried his hand at selling cars, before Brian got him a job (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#saic). Brian lost his job there, because he refused to work on Reagan’s Star Wars project. I could go on for days on that stuff, but let’s just say that the heroic sheen of the Apollo days has dimmed quite a bit for me over the years, not the least of which was my nation’s inflicting an indefensible genocide at the same time (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early).

In the midst of all of that, Brian wondered about the Moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#apollo), which created a firestorm of controversy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#statement) that he regretted until his life’s end.

I need to finish up this JFK/ET business soon and get on to my essay update and other chores, but I’ll say that if you had told me when I was 25 that my journey would bring me into contact with Gary, Brian, Dennis, and others, in situations in which I would encounter inside information on the JFK hit, on ETs, on the realities of free energy and the like, I would not have believed you. I still look back on my journey and wonder if it really happened that way, and I lived it, so I can appreciate “skepticism” of the reality of my journey and those of my fellow travelers. But true skepticism means getting out of one’s armchair and finding out for one’s self, not what the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” do.

There are still some JFK posts coming, but the end is near for them for now.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

In that autumn of 1990, as the war drums were beating (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), the JFK issue was one of many subjects that I dove into (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page3?p=1727&viewfull=1#post1727). Uncle Ed’s Lies of Our Times (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#loot) had a cover story on the Oliver Stone movie, JFK, which was in production and was being attacked by the media before it was ever released. Ed was unusual on the Left in that he was onboard with the idea that JFK was taken out in some kind of operation, not by a Lone Nut.

When JFK came out in late 1991, it created a firestorm of controversy and led Bill Clinton to mount an effort to declassify JFK-related documents, which is how the Operation Northwoods documents were declassified (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods#Origins_and_public_release), which greatly bolstered Gary’s tale (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#northwoods). The establishment fought back against JFK, and Gerald Posner’s Case Closed, a shabby piece of debunking, was predictably ballyhooed by the media (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Posner#Case_Closed) (and a couple of years later, another debunker joined the fray (http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/home.htm)). I was studying organized skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) at the time, too, which I consider to be a criminal enterprise (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#criminal). The same year as Case Closed, Uncle Noam published Rethinking Camelot (https://www.amazon.com/Rethinking-Camelot-Vietnam-Political-Literary/dp/0896084582), which debunked the idea that the CIA would have been involved in JFK’s murder. Uncle Mike (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#parenti) took on Noam and other leftist conspiracy debunkers, stated that the Left has a “conspiracy-phobia (http://bleiersblog.blogspot.com/2007/05/michael-parenti-conspiracy-phobia-on.html),” and his take (http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2013/11/425854.shtml) is the best that I ever saw from the Left: JFK may not have been left enough for the Left, but he was not nearly right enough for the Right, and they had the means, motive, and opportunity to take him out. Peter Dale Scott’s Deep Politics (https://books.google.com/books/about/Deep_Politics_and_the_Death_of_JFK.html?id=zWewDbarT3YC&source=kp_book_description) also came out in 1993, and was another effort that combined what I came to call the conspiracist and structuralist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) aspects of the JFK hit. Piper’s Final Judgment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Collins_Piper#Kennedy_and_King_assassination_theories) also came out in 1993, which was a big JFK year for me (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1428&viewfull=1#post1428), and Final Judgment is the only JFK work that I have seen that prominently featured Gary’s testimony.

Jack White (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#white2) published his backyard photo work in the early 1990s, and I used it in my work. Jack deserves credit for his backyard photo work, but he also proved himself badly out of his element when he got involved with the Apollo photographs (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#faked), among other issues. I spent a lot of time on independent work on the backyard photos, and they have many anomalies in them (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#backyard) that bolster arguments that Oswald was no Lone Nut. I consider the backyard photos to be one of the key pieces of framing evidence, along with the camera that allegedly took them, and the rifle and magic bullet. I believe that all of them were planted evidence (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page8?p=768&viewfull=1#post768), to help manufacture the Lone Nut scenario.

If I did not have Gary’s testimony as my anchor, I wonder where I would have ended up on the JFK issue. I would have never bought the official verdicts, but with Gary’s testimony, I know, and it allowed me to navigate that bizarre milieu.

Not that I needed it, but I witnessed mind-boggling judicial corruption (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=272&viewfull=1#post272) from the gritty perspective of the trucking industry, and saw how judges were in the back pockets of murderous trucking companies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=278&viewfull=1#post278). Then I had my second stint with Dennis and nearly went to prison for my trouble, as we were targeted by a sophisticated sting operation (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), as the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) raised their game to new levels with us. It was in those post-Dennis days in the 1990s that my close friend got his exotic technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), not long after Brian had his life shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) when he began snooping into the UFO issue. Several years later, I saw Greer’s Disclosure Project (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) witnesses describing the very technologies that my friend saw, which gave Greer’s efforts credibility with me (and participants such as Brian and Ed Mitchell (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page3?p=416&viewfull=1#post416) definitely made Greer’s efforts more impressive). Greer, like Dennis and Brian, tried the populist route with his effort, which I finally came to realize was a doomed approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). The masses don’t have enough collective personal integrity for that approach, which I learned during my first stint with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). That same issue also tainted the JFK assassination research milieu, as I witnessed various researchers fight with each other (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#jfk) over their pet theories, while the public at large was pretty clueless and apathetic, and the media was in lock-step with the Warren Commission’s fictional findings. It was like being on Diogenes’s quest for the honest man.

I first published my JFK work in June of 2001, which marked the end of my JFK research days, by and large. I knew that Oswald was no Lone Nut. While Jack Ruby’s involvement (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#ruby) meant that the Jewish mob was involved in the JFK hit, I doubted that they were the masterminds, but just some of the hired help. Many interests wanted JFK dead, and my take is that the Eastern Oligarchy, and the Rockefeller camp in particular, was behind the hit, and long-time Rockefeller fixer Allen Dulles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles) got himself appointed to the Warren Commission, which he dominated, as they covered up all CIA involvement.

As Bobby Kennedy later stated, the Warren Report was a “shoddy piece of craftsmanship (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk).” Doug Caddy’s amazing testimony (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big) is just icing on the cake for me, and I think that the ET issue was a proximate reason at most, more of a “last straw,” than it was the ultimate reason for JFK’s murder. JFK tried to end the Cold War, and for that, he had to go. The Cold War was simply an imperial pretext in of itself (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ideology), but a lucrative one. Once the Soviet Union collapsed, then the USA’s security state had to dredge up other “threats,” and 9/11 was a convenient gift to the imperial warmongers, perhaps too convenient (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11). And now, we live in Orwell’s world of the endless war (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell), with “terrorism (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#terrorism)” as the bogeyman, a bogeyman that the USA has created (https://consortiumnews.com/2019/05/21/how-the-wests-war-in-libya-spurred-terrorism-in-14-countries/). As von Braun told his assistant for years (who replaced me on the board of the New Energy Movement (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem)), the next, ultimate bogeyman will be ETs (https://exonews.org/wilileaks-document-suggest-that-wernher-von-braun-tried-to-warn-us-about-a-fake-alien-invasion/).

Would we live in a different world if JFK had not been murdered? That is possible, but he was only one man, up against the inertia of the empire, and American imperial interests are also down the food chain of earthly power a ways (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). Just like Roman emperors were taken out all the time, taking out JFK was standard imperial behavior, when he failed to toe the line. All American presidents since JFK got the message loud and clear: “You are expendable.” When Carter and Clinton poked their noses into the ET issue (they were also the two presidents who tried to reopen the JFK hit issue), they got the message that their lives were in jeopardy if they pushed the issue, both dutifully went silent, and no American president since has significantly broached either issue.

With this post, I will wind down my JFK posts for now, and get with my other chores, such as updating my big essay, to be likely followed by a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481). I am not getting any younger.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Matt Taibbi gave one of the best eulogies for Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#taibbi), and he is one of the few American mainstream journalists that calls the media what it is. For the record, I heard from FAIR’s founder, as well as several of the biggest names regarding Ed’s work, and they were all happy with my bio of Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), and FAIR’s founder, whose eulogy for Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cohen) was about my favorite one, loved Taibbi’s eulogy. With that in mind, Taibbi recently wrote about a FAIR study that showed that 100% of the mainstream media was in favor of regime change in Venezuela (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/venezuela-united-states-war-trump-836344/). The American media never met a war that it didn’t like, unless an enemy regime started it, and even then, those regimes could be baited into it (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#brzezinski).

As Ed and Noam long wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#noble), when the American media finally turned against the Vietnam Wa (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#vietnam)r, it was not about recognizing that the USA had committed a monstrous, Nazi-style crime (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#newsweek), but that it had made a “mistake (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#mistake)” in its high mission of spreading freedom throughout the world. Empires never commit crimes, only mistakes. And, as Taibbi shows, the so-called “liberal” media beats the war drums the loudest. The lies on Venezuela (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#venezuela) have been coming fast and furiously lately (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/39-Chapter-23-The-Postwar-Boom-Peak-Oil-and-the-Decline-of-Industrial-Civilization?p=1631&viewfull=1#post1631).

It is like the American media is an imperial lie factory, and it does not matter how many times the media is shown to have swallowed and promoted shameless, warmongering propaganda; it never misses a beat and simply moves on to the next imperial target, even when it belatedly admits that it swallowed the lies the last time (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#wmd). It is not that journalists are all stupid or evil, but Ed’s structural analysis (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) shows how it almost does not matter who the journalists are, as the lie factory chugs along, and those that fail to absorb the propaganda are weeded out by the media’s immune system. Taibbi has found a protected (for now) niche at Rolling Stone, but he is one of the very few that have. More often, it is career over, or worse, for any journalist who challenges the propaganda machine (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#flak).

As long as the media is under capitalist control, it will always produce these results (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#facebook1). It is just the way that social systems work, and brings up the question of whether humanity is really a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ed).

Hi:

Since this saga won’t go away anytime soon, I will begin an Assange thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731) on my forum. Today, the New York Times reported that Julian Assange can face the death penalty (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/23/us/politics/assange-indictment.html) if he is extradited to the USA. I have written about Assange for the better part of a decade (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=539852&viewfull=1#post539852). He foolishly waltzed right into it, playing rock star with his groupies and flitting between American vassal states such as the UK and Sweden. Nothing that he did rises to the level of a crime, and he is turning out to be a martyr for free speech. Even the New York Times realizes how ominous his case is, writing:


“Though Julian Assange is not a conventional journalist, much of what he does at WikiLeaks is difficult to distinguish in a legally meaningful way from what traditional news organizations do.”


The New York Times wrote this (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/05/julian-assange-indicted-on-17-counts-of-violating-the-espionage-act.html), too, before they removed it from their site:


“But the officials would not engage with questions about how the actions they said were felonies by Mr. Assange differed from ordinary investigative journalism. Notably, The New York Times, among many other news organizations, obtained precisely the same archives of documents from WikiLeaks, without authorization from the government.”


The “rape” allegations amounted to not always wearing a condom with his groupies. His “espionage” and “hacking” charges aren’t even that legitimate (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/116-The-Media-Racket?p=1695&viewfull=1#post1695). His crime is trading email with a document source (Manning), in which he encouraged Manning to keep his identity hidden as he downloaded documents that he had access to as a normal part of his job. No hack, no espionage, just journalism, but you wouldn’t know it by the idiotic columns and comments that I saw today, stating that Assange is no journalist, that he was a hacker, and other Big Lies that are being regurgitated ad infinitum in the echo chamber, like some Fox News talking points.

Make no mistake about it: this is an attack on press freedom and a direct assault on the First Amendment. In these neo-Orwellian times (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell), nothing about this is surprising. Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) would have had plenty to say about it. Noam did (https://www.democracynow.org/2019/4/12/chomsky_arrest_of_assange_is_scandalous). Plenty of writers see the writing on the wall (1 (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/05/24/how-many-times-must-assange-be-proven-right-before-people-start-listening/), 2 (https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/05/20/the-assange-manning-cases-have-discredited-america/), 3 (https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1131668294052696064.html), 4 (https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-comment-julian-assange-indictment)). Freedom of speech in the USA has always been kind of a joke (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#mcgehee), but it is in danger of dying altogether, as a long night might be beginning. We have been sliding down this slope for many years, and it really went into overdrive with Bush the Second, as whistleblowers got no federal protection. Back in about 2004, I read an article by the federal employees union, noting how the Bush administration declined to protect whistleblowers, as the law required, as whistleblowers were being crucified left and right. It actually got worse under Obama, and now it is reaching the level of prosecuting journalists for publishing genuine documents that provide evidence for major government crimes. Grim times, for sure.

Wade

Hi:

Yesterday was a day of lies for me. I started off the day editing my Dennis essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm), and I’ll publish the update soon. Then I was reading the latest on the Assange saga (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731). Assange made it easy for them, playing rock star with his groupies (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/Sex-accusers-boasted-about-their-conquest-of-WikiLeaks-founder-Julian-Assange/articleshow/7068149.cms), at least one of whom may have had CIA ties (1 (https://www.globalresearch.ca/assange-allegation-stitch-up/5674521), 2 (https://www.smh.com.au/technology/victims-jilted-lovers-or-undercover-agents-20101218-191ae.html), 3 (http://sofiawilen.com/), 4 (https://shadowproof.com/2010/12/04/assanges-chief-accuser-has-her-own-history-with-us-funded-anti-castro-groups-one-of-which-has-cia-ties/)). If it was not a honeypot operation, it became a golden opportunity for the champions of freedom and justice, in the USA, UK, and Sweden.

With Assange, there is plenty of conjecture on that groupie situation, and I am not close to it, so I don’t know for sure. What is for sure is that he did not commit anything close to a crime, either with his groupies or Manning’s leaks. But Assange exposed the dark underbelly of the Empire, and that is why he is behind bars today in the toady state of the UK, and may be extradited to the toady state of Sweden, on his way to the imperial headquarters in the USA and a possible death sentence.

But for Dennis, I was there and know for sure, and what a chorus of lies in cyberspace. It is easy to portray Dennis as a con man. I make no bones about his P.T. Barnum approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum). Dennis even admitted that he was a con man, as he saw that his job was to give people “confidence.” It is also why his efforts were always doomed on the free energy front, as Dennis went for the populist approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) (as did Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem)). People usually did have confidence, as long as Dennis was in the room. But when he left, they became rudderless or tried to steal his effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked). That was perhaps the biggest reason why I was pretty much done with Dennis’s approach after 1988. The people involved have to be there under their own steam, not because they were enticed and cajoled into it. It still took another 20 years before I settled on my current approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), as I tried this (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#awaken) and that (http://ahealedplanet.net/freesoft.htm), carried Brian’s spears (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro), etc.

As I surfed on Dennis yesterday, and read all manner of media account and the attacks of “skeptics” and so-called scientists, I did not see one of them discuss Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) and his brilliant marketing plan for it (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs). Not once. Nothing about Mr. Big Time Attorney (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707) and the harsh lessons that he learned while defending Dennis. And when they decried Dennis’s free energy efforts (which can be criticized), I did not see one discussion of Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) (or Owen’s involvement (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653)) or Fischer’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer). Not once. Nothing on hydraulic heat engines and super heat pumps, but plenty of parroting the lies by the prosecutors in Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy), Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and the feds (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), citing libelous articles (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel), etc. It all was reminiscent of the smear campaign against Noam on Cambodia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia), which is more than 40 years old and continuing. The strategy seems to be that if they repeat the lies enough times, it becomes the truth. It all drives home my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), in spades.

As Orwell said, in a world of endless deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Assange is a revolutionary. Not one of Wikileaks’s published documents has proven to be anything other than genuine. Find another media organization with that track record. Revolutionaries become martyrs all too often, and even if Assange was released tomorrow and all charges were dropped, he has been martyred, as he has lived under some form of arrest since 2010. Dennis is a revolutionary and had far more attention from the top of the world’s power structure (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1167&viewfull=1#post1167) than Assange has had, as did Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak) and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847). Assange did not have to survive any murder attempts from the spooks. He is kind of a retail martyr, while Dennis, Brian, and Greer were more wholesale martyrs. Hunting for needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle)…

Hi:

Well, I just finished about my final site updates, before I get cracking on my big essay update. I did a makeover of my Dennis essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm), made some small updates to the BPA hit man essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), and added an excerpt from a DOE document on the talks that Dennis and I gave (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull) on transmuting nuclear waste with Brown’s Gas.

In the updates I have been making, including to my my adventures essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm) and cover-up essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm), it has largely been about linking up to my forum posts over the past several years, which provide more context, and I named quite a few names, but the new names were all deceased (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page14?p=1491&viewfull=1#post1491). If I outlive several more people, I will finally be freed to write freely on these subjects, which will make my rendition far more spectacular, and we will see if I outlive them.

After I publish the essay update, probably next year some time, I’ll write a beefed-up bio of Brian, now that Wikipedia had hacked his bio down to a stub article, as a reaction to my trying to improve Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm). I’ll also publish an essay on that go-around with Wikipedia. There is always more writing to do.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

The craziest time of my year, day-job-wise, should be behind me, and I can focus on my essay update and other tasks that have been neglected. I now plan to be pretty quiet as I work on my big essay update. I’ll post up sections as I draft them, as I did the first time. I likely won’t finish the process until next year. I needed to first perform some essay revisions (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page14?p=1733&viewfull=1#post1733), to reflect recent writings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page14?p=1733&viewfull=1#post1733), on the JFK hit (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page3?p=1729&viewfull=1#post1729), the Space Race (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653), Nazis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1728&viewfull=1#post1728), early energy efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), my Uncle Ed bio project (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707), names that I have been revealing (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page14?p=1491&viewfull=1#post1491), and other odds and ends, such as the Assange saga (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731).

As I prepare for the task at hand, I want to step back for a moment and reiterate the task at hand, as it is not that easy to understand. I watch people fall of the rails all the time, wander off and get lost, disappear down rabbit holes, and the like. So, I periodically summarize what I am doing, to bring the focus back where it belongs, which is helping manifest the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Not even Dennis understands that the appearance of free energy would be that event, and Brian didn’t really, either, and if they didn’t quite understand, how hard is it for the rest of humanity? If Brian had lived to see my big essay, he would have definitely understood, but the list grows short after that. It was not until I began studying for what became my big essay, in about 2007, that the truly Epochal nature of free energy began to become clear to me. A major goal of my big essay is to get across that Epochal nature. I am going to start referring to my big essay as Energy and the Human Journey, or EHJ, as that will likely be the title of the book that I plan to publish, which will only be an abridged version of my big essay revision.

In a way, my goal is to get my readers to the opposite end of the spectrum (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level12) that the early layers of the free energy onion (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart) display. Those early layers are primarily based on fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) and denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), as people deny free energy’s possibility and desirability, as they conjure all manner of fearful scenario and as they project their stunted, scarcity-based awareness onto a situation of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance). They deny that free energy is even possible, with arguments at various levels of sophistication (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level2), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3)), deny that organized suppression exists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), deny that there are levels of the elite game (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) that are currently invisible from the public and even the world’s retail elites, deny that exotic technologies have been developed in clandestine enclaves (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and perhaps most of all, they deny that this kind of world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) becomes feasible with free energy. None of the people that I seek are currently stuck at those levels. It is not easy to get from fear and denial to love and acknowledgment, and people cannot be talked there. Paradigm shifts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) don’t happen through talk. People stuck in denial and fear won’t get unstuck until free energy is delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and that is OK. It has always been this way for Epochal change (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), and I don’t expect it to be any different this time. Heck, for the previous Epochal events, nobody even suspected that they were Epochal events until after they happened. The Industrial Revolution was more than a century old before anybody realized that it was a revolution. My strategy, of simply imagining the next Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#imagine), as a way to help it manifest, is unprecedented in the human journey.

However, my journey since my first stint with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) showed me how rare the people that I seek are. I am not looking for heroes (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#heroes), as I know that not enough of them walk on Earth today (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany) for a heroic approach to work. As I did my work, and interacted with giants such as Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), fellow travelers such as Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm) and Mark (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), heard hair-raising tales from people such as Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) and Trombly (http://ahealedplanet.net/radio.htm#trombly), and had thousands of interactions with the public, I slowly developed the qualifications that are needed for my Epochal task to have a chance of success, and that list won’t change much, if at all. I have summarized it (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) before, and have discussed it at length (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307).

The people I seek have to:


Care (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) for something beyond their immediate self-interest;
Have been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309);
Be scientifically literate (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313), or be willing and able to do the work to become so (which my big essay is intended to assist);


That is it, but my experience has shown me that the people meeting those qualifications are one-in-thousands (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). It does no good to judge (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) the uncaring, the sleeping, and the ignorant, and I leave them to their slumbers, and dark pathers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) are going to what dark pathers do. My jury is still out on whether a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312) is required, but the fellow travelers that I most respected had one, and usually by their early twenties. Brian was a relative old man on that front, not getting his (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote) until he was nearly forty.

I know that if I can find enough people with the right stuff, get them up the learning curve to a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), so that they can form a chorus in cyberspace (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), making that biggest event in the human journey manifest will be easy. Building that choir will be the hard part. Safe venues to interact with me and sing already exist (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forum.php), 2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1)), and I know how rare such venues are (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll). My recent adventures at Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) are typical of what happens when I interact with the public in unprotected venues, and the admins are usually worse than the trolls (1 (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=385252), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=640&viewfull=1#post640), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#_edn1)), which was also the case at Wikipedia.

My essay update and probable book to follow it (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481) are intended to help me find those people and make my message as easy-to-understand as possible. But, there is also no substitute for doing the work. Manifesting the biggest event in the human journey requires no less, not with humanity’s inertia and the organized suppression.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I have not been posting up too many hiking photos in recent years. The past couple were bust years, relatively, but I have hopes that this year will be better. The epic forest fires (https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd611322.pdf) were part of the problem, but getting old and fat (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page10?p=1146&viewfull=1#post1146) is not helping. :) I still get out plenty. No complaints. I posted some pics on a squirrel’s dinner table (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1688&viewfull=1#post1688), and did a little reading on their habits. They love feeding on stumps and logs (https://www.google.com/search?q=squirrels+feed+on+stumps&tbm=isch&source=univ&client=firefox-b-1-d&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjuidSp5rviAhWXGDQIHVujCpAQsAR6BAgJEAE&biw=1920&bih=923), and I recently began developing “squirrel consciousness,” paying attention to their feeding logs, such as one on the base of a Douglas fir, attached, which produces some of their favorite cones. They are aptly named Douglas squirrels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_squirrel). They are doing fine, but native gray squirrels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_gray_squirrel#Habitat_loss_and_competition) are having a harder time of it (https://web.archive.org/web/20071031085100/http:/wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/diversty/soc/recovery/wgraysquirrel/wgraysquirrel_draft_recovery.pdf), although they live in our backyard. This is squirrel country (https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/living/species-facts/tree-squirrels).

That local mountain was clear-cut a century ago, and an attached pic is of one of the stumps from then. The coal beds that humanity mines with such abandon were mostly formed more than 300 million years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coal1), before a fungus learned how to digest lignin (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lignin). Even so, it takes centuries for stumps to decay in my local forests. When I showed a hiking pal a stump, and told him that it was from a century ago, he refused to believe it. He could not believe that it takes that long for stumps to decay up here.

The Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) can come none too soon, IMO, and the success of Microsoft and Amazon is wrecking the area, particularly for wilderness-lovers. Trails that I could hike on in solitude are now conga lines of people. That is partly because high-tech people are usually between 25 and 45, which are prime hiking ages. Today, they actually have shuttles for the most popular trails, as there is no parking to be had, because of the hordes. I avoid the hordes if I can. Where I hike on my favorite local mountain, I take the trails less traveled, and it can still be a lonely experience, if you know when to go. These days, I go in the late afternoon, and will see hardly a soul for the entire hike, and will often not see anybody at all.

Speaking of conga lines, I just saw the attached from the Everest summit, during this year’s summit season. That is the summit of Everest that the conga line goes to. I also attached a picture from several years ago, on the route to the top of Everest. That is absolutely insane. Maybe they can put in turnstiles. :) A pal recently did Machu Picchu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu), checking off her Bucket List, and climbed that peak behind it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu#/media/File:80_-_Machu_Picchu_-_Juin_2009_-_edit.2.jpg), and they literally do have turnstiles at Machu Picchu, like you are at Disneyland.

Ten people have died on Everest so far this season. It is largely the “have credit card, will climb” crowd. There are people summiting Everest who never wore crampons in their lives before getting on Everest. I have never done technical climbing and never will. It is too dangerous. I have climber pals, and hearing stories of dead climbers is common. Heck, hikers die all the time where I hike, and they almost all die of stupidity. The three main ways to die up here are falling, drowning, and getting lost and dying of exposure. All are supremely avoidable, but these rugged mountains are close to a major metropolitan area that is growing fast, and the trails are clogged with people who have no business being out there, being unprepared, and the young ones in particular can get into trouble, doing stupid things. Ah, I did my fair share of stupid things when I was younger, too, and could have died (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=196769&viewfull=1#post196769) a few times. Most of my hiking pals can tell tales of when they almost bought it. The wilderness is a wild place, and it is easy to die in it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As I go relatively quiet, I’ll keep my finger in various issues, and the Assange saga (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731) is one of them. I want to make a post that presents the Assange saga in the proper light. As Noam has written, the greatest international crime in the last half of the 20th century was the American invasion of Southeast Asia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early). People could argue for the Tutsi invasion of the Congo (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda), too, which was American-supported (Suharto’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#suharto) multiple genocides, also American-sponsored, don’t quite make the grade). In the 21st century, the greatest crime, hands down, is the American invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), and the “war on terror (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#terrorism)” in general, which may have claimed ten million lives so far in this century. Fighting “communists” or “terrorists” are merely fraudulent imperial pretexts, similar to Kagame’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#kagame) pursuit of the “genocidal” Hutu refugees in the Congo. And the media simultaneously trumpets the lies while suppressing the truth. As Ed’s work showed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), that is the Western media’s primary function.

During the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, the American media’s most reliable propagandist was Judith Miller (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#iraq) of the New York Times. She was a de facto Bush administration mouthpiece during its propaganda campaign against Iraq. Anybody who dared challenge the lies was smeared, such as Scott Ritter (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#wmd), in the New York Times’s pages, no less. When an ambassador’s wife, who worked for the CIA and exposed another Bush administration lie, had her identity exposed, Miller was jailed because she refused to give her source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plame_affair#Judith_Miller). Miller was a disgrace as a journalist, with the blood of innocents on her hands, but she became a heroine for the First Amendment for trying to protect her source. I believe that she was the only person to spend any time behind bars in that scandal.

The basic crime that Assange is being charged with, under the Espionage Act, is trying to protect his source, which is the very act that Miller used to become a First Amendment heroine. Assange has been smeared in the Western media for nearly a decade, but now, the media is doing an about-face (https://consortiumnews.com/2019/05/27/tide-of-public-opinion-is-turning-in-assanges-favor/) and beginning to support Assange, because they realize that Assange is being charged for acts that are simply normal investigative journalism. The charges against Assange are a direct assault on the First Amendment. The mainstream media is a conduit of propaganda (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) in the first place, but even the pretense of independence is under siege with this latest outrage.

Ironically, the media’s embracement of the fraudulent “Russian Collusion,” “Russian Election Meddling”,” and other anti-Russian tropes (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia) have contributed to this situation. The media does make it up as it goes, when smearing people (as I know all too well (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707)), even the sitting president, but it has served as ammo for prosecuting somebody for publishing what everybody agrees are genuine documents. These situations are more evidence of the Orwellian times that we live in (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell). In recent years, I have seen many articles on Orwell’s prescience, comparisons to Huxley, as to which was more prescient, etc. (1 (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/13/books/review/which-dystopian-novel-got-it-right-orwells-1984-or-huxleys-brave-new-world.html), 2 (https://www.courier-tribune.com/lifestyle/20170125/george-orwell8217s-prescience-proving-true), 3 (https://www.unz.com/article/why-orwell-is-superior-to-huxley/), 4 (https://www.apnews.com/49bb0cda202a49ea9dae2f11bca9f651), 5 (https://www.kcur.org/post/ku-professor-finds-george-orwells-prescient-manifesto-against-psychological-warfare#stream/0), 6 (http://theconversation.com/2017-isnt-1984-its-stranger-than-orwell-imagined-71971), 7 (https://fee.org/articles/two-ways-our-world-resembles-1984/), 8 (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2019/05/06/as-orwells-1984-turns-70-it-predicted-much-of-todays-surveillance-society/#3038073011de), 9 (https://www.scmp.com/comment/insight-opinion/article/2138961/big-zucker-watching-you-facebook-has-realised-orwells), 10 (https://techkhabaren.wordpress.com/2014/10/09/1984-george-orwell-michael-radford/)). Interesting times to live in. :)

Hi:

Odds and ends…

Matt Taibbi (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1730&viewfull=1#post1730), who gave on of the best eulogies for Ed, interviewed Noam (https://taibbi.substack.com/p/preface-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky-the-fairway) for his latest book, and they discussed Manufacturing Consent (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing). Good stuff.

Wikipedia’s co-founder says that Wikipedia is broken (https://sharylattkisson.com/2019/05/wikipedia-is-broken-controlled-by-special-interests-and-bad-actors-says-co-founder/) by special interests and bad actors. Amen (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm).

I’ll have plenty to add to the essay update on the rise of complex life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals) (1 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2017/08/17/the-first-animals-evolved-during-the-absolute-worst-time-on-earth/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.86475fef30f5), 2 (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/death-masks-reveal-how-earliest-complex-organisms-became-fossils/?redirect=1), 3 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987113001096), 4 (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/fossil-treasure-trove-ancient-animals-unearthed-china-180971769/)), and am currently reading a new dinosaur book (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/050005200X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), and will have plenty more to say (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/colors-dinosaurs-open-new-window-study-past-180972070/) about them and their extinction (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221141511.htm), as scientists are constantly digging (https://www.pnas.org/content/116/17/8190). Some still argue that it was a comet (https://blog.everythingdinosaur.co.uk/blog/_archives/2013/03/23/american-researchers-suggest-chicxulub-crater-made-by-comet.html) and not an asteroid that did them in.

I’ll have plenty more to say on the megafauna extinctions, too. I regard the mammoth extinction as kind of a red herring in the megafauna extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) debate, as some scientists keep arguing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange2) for a climate change explanation. Mammoths survived in refugia (https://blog.everythingdinosaur.co.uk/blog/_archives/2017/03/04/woolly-mammoth-genome-meltdown.html), where humans could not get to, until the historical era. Climate change had little or nothing to do with it. It was people. Elephant cousins lived the length and breadth of the Western Hemisphere before people arrived, and did fine for millions of years, as Earth’s most successful land mammal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elephantsuccess), and they all quickly went extinct soon after the arrival of the Clovis hunters (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#westernmegafauna).

My backyard is the site of one of the biggest eruptions (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/10/171011091157.htm) in the recent geological past. If the USA is going to get a “big one” anytime soon, the West Coast, at either the San Andreas faul (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Andreas_Fault)t or the Juan de Fuca plate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_de_Fuca_Plate), is where the smart money is placed. I hope that it is not while I am alive. If it happens in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), it will be a non-event, human-wise.

Hi:

You can never go wrong by digesting Noam’s work. When I read Matt Taibbi’s recent interview of Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1737&viewfull=1#post1737), Noam brought up a subject that I also mentioned in Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#marginalized), of how the Propaganda Model could also be applied to academia, namely this part:


Taibbi: But basically you’re talking about the same instinct for conformity, the inability to understand that you’re working within a predetermined framework.  

Chomsky: It was exactly what you said before. It’s the assumption that you’re being adversarial, independent, questioning everything, and so on. But it’s the same in scholarship. If you tell a scholar, “Look you’re just conforming to ideological prejudices,” they go crazy. You can see what happened when something really became prominent that questioned the basic ideological framework. Like when Howard Zinn’s book…


That Noam interview has dozens of intersections with my work, but I found myself reading up on Noam and Thomas Kuhn. They taught at MIT at the same time, and I wondered what Noam had to say about Kuhn’s work, and vice versa. It is mentioned a few times in this interview (https://chomsky.info/1991____/), to wit:


Q.   Has your colleague down the hall, Thomas Kuhn, ever discussed the Chomskyan revolution in terms of a “paradigm shift”?

A [Noam].    He hasn’t, but other people have; I don’t. My own view is that while there have been several significant changes (Tom and I kind of differ on this), there’s been basically one scientific revolution: the Galilean revolution, the seventeenth-century revolution stretching over a period including Galileo. That was a real revolution, a different way of looking at things in many respects. For example, there was a very sharp shift at that point from a kind of natural history perspective to a natural science perspective. A different attitude toward fact developed, a different attitude toward idealization, a different concept of explanation. There was a complete breakdown, especially with Newton, of the common sense notion of mechanical explanation which led in new directions. Put all these things together and I think that’s a radical shift in perspective. Now there are very few fields of human endeavor where that shift of perspective has taken place. In the study of language, I think that shift did take place to an extent in the 1950s. You could call that a “paradigm shift” if you want to use the term, but it seems to me to be adapting the methods of the natural sciences to another domain; in that respect, it’s not really a dramatic shift.


So, Noam only sees one paradigm shift in science, whereas Kuhn saw several. I write about paradigms plenty in my work (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction), and generalize it to numerous areas, and how scientists and academics get blinkered by their paradigms is a major theme of mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded).

So, as I thought about Noam and Kuhn, I daisy-chained into all sorts of articles on those related subjects (1 (https://www.chronicle.com/blogs/brainstorm/fifty-years-on-thank-you-thomas-kuhn/44257?sid=at&utm_medium=en&utm_source=at), 2 (https://evolutionnews.org/2012/02/kuhns_the_struc/), 3 (http://www.martnet.com/~lexicon/chom_fn1.html), 4 (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/bXqtCQYXgrFd9DYaZ/chomsky-on-reason-and-science), 5 (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/language-in-the-mind/201504/the-structure-scientific-revolutions), 6 (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/may/31/the-ashtray-by-errol-morris-review), 7 (http://thelousylinguist.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-language-myth-book-review.html)). Noam and I don’t agree on everything; far from it. Noam did not agree on Ed with everything. Heck, you won’t find two scientists or scholars with any creative ability that will agree with each other on everything. That is how it should be, but Noam should always be taken seriously (as Ed should be, Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), etc.). To me, it is pretty amazing that Noam is as unknown in the USA as he is, or if he is mentioned, it is usually in the context of attacks on him (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms). When he finally passes, he is going to take his place with Socrates, Einstein, and Newton in the pantheon of Western thought. He is far better known outside of the USA than in it (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/nov/07/noam-chomsky-us-foreign-policy), which is just another confirmation of the Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing).

My big essay’s chapter on orthodox science (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox) will get a bit of makeover, as will virtually every chapter. The only chapters that I don’t plan to revise much are my Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) and making it happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worked) chapters (and the “adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures)” chapter likely won’t change much). Those are my most original contributions to that essay, and are really the fruit of my life’s work. I think about my big essay every day, about how to improve it, what to add, and so on, but over the past several years, almost nothing has come to me on improving those last chapters. If the ideas in those chapters are going to be improved upon much, it likely won’t be by me. The big essay’s chapters before those chapters are essentially a prelude, so that those final chapters are comprehensible.

Hi:

I have been writing about vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#vaccination) for the past 20 years or so, and a bit in recent years (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184). History has no example of vaccination vanquishing a disease, and the recent and ongoing propaganda campaigns to make vaccination compulsory (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=1700&viewfull=1#post1700) are pretty grim.

My view is that if the suppression of the discoveries made by using those “impossible” microscopes (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens)) ever ends, there is going to be a paradigm shift in biology and medicine, and the biology and medicine of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will only have a faint resemblance (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm1) to today’s versions of them. Vaccination will take its place with fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory) and other lucrative barbarities (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket) that have been forced on the public and called “medicine.” In ways, it is like Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), in which the idea that the USA commits crimes with its invasions and other imperial outrages is unthinkable in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#tragic). Empires only make mistakes (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#mistake), and never commit crimes.

The medical racket does its best to make anything outside of the dominant paradigm unthinkable, and when it does embrace (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#mayo) what it formerly banned (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#banned), you can nearly guarantee that the martyred pioneers will not receive any credit (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#steal). These are amazing times to live in.

Hi:

This is my last planned post for a few days. I have way too much on my plate, as usual. This will be on how orthodoxy works on challenges to its hegemony. A primary tactic is to wipe out dissent and the supporting data. If the conflicting information simply does not exist, or if those producing it are wiped out, orthodoxy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox) can seem to be the result of the best and brightest, the best evidence, etc. That is a Big Lie (http://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#orthodoxy), in many areas, and arguably most of them, particularly those with any political-economic relevance. I’ll give some examples.

When a researcher produced evidence that fluoride damages the brain, her career was over (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#mullenix). When one of the world’s most respected cancer researchers produced evidence that laetrile worked for treating cancer, his work was suppressed (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#moss), and the people who called attention to the suppression were summarily fired. When I recently had a conversation with somebody who considered himself well-read on cancer treatment, he had never heard of laetrile. The first time that somebody compared life expectancies after detection for cancer patients, and the only criterion was whether they had orthodox treatment or not, it showed that untreated people lived four times as long as the treated ones. That study is older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket), and I have not heard of a study like it done since.

A couple of years ago, I wrote about the first study that compared vaccinated and unvaccinated children (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=939&viewfull=1#post939), and the results were enlightening. Even an orthodox organization (https://aapsonline.org/measles-outbreak-and-federal-vaccine-mandates/?fbclid=IwAR14tPRiZV1l6KSINFXguIacuJBr68XytbAnxGDNYhGw1q_jjiCkCH_QLBQ) has noted the glaring conflicts of interest in vaccination testing, and noted that true safety testing has never really been done. Orthodoxy has never performed a test of vaccination versus pure placebo in its safety testing. Their standards are openly fraudulent, but try to find much discussion of that in orthodoxy. Privately, few MDs believe in vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=784&viewfull=1#post784), but few dare speak out. It was that way with fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#half), too, while the commie witch hunts raged and the propaganda blasted (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#bernays).

Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) is unanswerable, and it predicts its reception in academia: there is none (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#predictions), as academia pretends that it does not exist, and Noam has been the world’s leading intellectual for more than 50 years. That is surreal.

When the subject is free energy or ETs, it is much worse. Mark discovered the hard way (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647) how it works, as did Sparky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2), as did Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847). Heck, let’s put aside Dennis’s and my adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) for now.

This is how our world works, when scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) prevail. As Noam said, watch academics “go crazy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1739&viewfull=1#post1739)” if this reality is pointed out to them. I can provide many other examples of this issue.

Hi:

It is hard to do what I do and not be aware of much of the scuttlebutt in the free energy milieu. I don’t pay attention to the free energy field today, as it is deeply in arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), but I am regularly bombarded with the latest “news” of the inventor who claims to be the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), a pedophile who confesses it to the world and will likely spend the rest of his days behind bars (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1550&viewfull=1#post1550), etc. I frequently get emails from Greer’s organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), with crowdfunding news and appeals, and promotion of his upcoming movie (https://ce5film.com/). He and I are on very different paths to the goal. Greer will tweet (https://twitter.com/DrStevenGreer?lang=en) about Wikileaks, when ETs and free energy are mentioned (1 (https://twitter.com/drstevengreer/status/790554023413813249?lang=en), 2 (https://twitter.com/drstevengreer/status/785940291651973121?lang=en)), but he won’t be writing on the subject like I do (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731) anytime soon. Speaking of which, here is a nice article (https://www.theautomaticearth.com/2019/06/lawlessness/) on the absolute lawlessness of Assange’s treatment, by several governments. The USA has pretty much never honored international law (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia) (or treaties, going back to the beginnings of our nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint)) but try to find a discussion of that (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#kidnap) in the mainstream media (or in free energy circles). We are such a humanitarian nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record)…

I always respected what Greer, Dennis, and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) did. They were honest attempts to make a dent, and they were high on Godzilla’s radar (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) from time-to-time, which can greatly shorten one’s life expectancy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), but all tried to mount mass movement attempts. Been there, done that, too many times (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). I still don’t see anybody attempting anything remotely like what I am doing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), so I keep plugging along. I am OK with my effort seemingly going nowhere in my lifetime, but I expect that it will slowly gain steam, as I find a needle here (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) and a needle there (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308). The approach is sound, and the problem will be finding the people willing and able to do the work, so that they can keep their eye on the ball. The biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) merits various approaches, and while mine is unique in ways, it is likely little different from what Uncle Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) would do if he was alive today.

Hi:

Yesterday, I was reading another book on the astronauts (https://www.amazon.com/Inventing-American-Astronaut-Palgrave-Technology/dp/113702528X/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1559655117&refinements=p_27%3AM.+Hersch&s=books&sr=1-1&text=M.+Hersch), and Brian was once again prominent. Since Brian died, his work has received increasing attention from authors who write about the astronauts and NASA. Brian’s early writings, after he left NASA, which helped make him such a gadfly and was a major reason why he did not have a bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=284&viewfull=1#post284) at NASA until the year before he died, are increasingly being treated as sober and prescient writings on NASA’s often-dysfunctional culture.

From his criticism of the fighter-jock culture, to how the scientist-astronauts were treated like second-class citizens, to how there was a battle to have science performed during the Apollo missions, Brian is increasingly appearing as a sage among the astronaut corps. He was the first astronaut to be openly critical of NASA, and in a chapter on the scientist-astronauts in that book I was reading yesterday, it was dominated by Brian’s and Chapman’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1728&viewfull=1#post1728) frank views.

That book I am reading treats the astronaut corps as a new profession, and one that has largely been a failure. After those heroic flights to the Moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), it has been nearly 50 years since the last astronaut left low-Earth orbit, and they don’t even fly on American rockets anymore, but on those of the hated Russians (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia). The grand explorations today are performed by robot probes, which Brian was one of the first to emphasize. Brian is still the only human ever asked to visit another planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars) (at least publicly), but he advocated robotic probes. Societies honor their living conformists and dead troublemakers. :)

To be sure, many NASA fanboys despise Brian to this day, but among serious NASA scholars, Brian’s work is increasingly relevant, a critical view that was rare among the astronauts, as they had to help maintain the image of the flag-waving heroes of space exploration. What comes across very clearly in that book I am reading is what a dysfunctional culture the astronaut corps was. From the test-pilot military culture that spawned the early astronauts, to the intense politicking for mission assignments and outright bullying of astronauts by others higher in the pecking order, to the apple pie image that they were supposed to project to the public, the astronaut milieu was kind of bizarre. It is no wonder that Brian did not fit in. That book discussed how anti-scientific the astronaut corps and NASA was during the Apollo program, and how Brian’s astronaut group was treated like “inferior underlings” by even the 1965 class of scientist-astronauts.

Brian got Buzz Aldrin a job and shared an office with him, as Buzz was so rudderless after Apollo 11 that he tried his hand at selling cars before Brian got him that job (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#saic). I recently read some of Buzz’s memories of his astronautic brethren, and he wrote of his dismay at how his fellow astronauts treated him; instead of congratulations and appreciation, he was the object of resentment and envy.

Today, Brian is most “notable” for his astronaut days, but it was really a small part of his amazing life. Advising presidential candidates (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall), helping kill Nixon’s nuclear fever and creating the energy program that Carter copied, his life-shortening investigations of UFOs (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), and his visibility in the free energy milieu (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#new) were bigger events in his life than his astronaut days were. If free energy ever comes in from the shadows (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), Brian will likely become most “notable” for his free energy work, and for good reason (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). On my list of things to do is rewriting Brian’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm), which I have not done since he died. It is a bare stub compared to Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm). It goes behind updating my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447) and a possible book to follow it (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481), but it is up there.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I was doing some more Brian reading yesterday, and discovered that NASA moved his bio, which is here (https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/oleary_brian.pdf) now. That is the problem with links. Not even NASA has permanent ones.

Here is an article (http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1868/1) on what Brian wrote about the Space Shuttles, written the month before he died. Very interestingly, his fellow XS-11 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Astronaut_Group_6) astronaut, Philip Chapman (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1728&viewfull=1#post1728), actually commented on the article (http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1868/1#IDComment164909623). As I wrote yesterday (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1743&viewfull=1#post1743), Brian’s and Chapman’s views dominate the XS-11 section of that book I am reading.

There is a strange synchronicity with those articles and events. The astronaut assigned to work with me on Brian’s NASA bio, Chris Ferguson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=284&viewfull=1#post284), actually landed the last shuttle to fly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-135#21_July_(Flight_Day_14_%E2%80%93_Landing)), about a week before Brian died. And his landing of the shuttle inspired this post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=267098&viewfull=1#post267098). Chris helped design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Ferguson#Post-NASA_career) and will fly in Boeing’s next generation space capsule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_CST-100_Starliner).

Brian’s Disclosure Project (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) work has spawned many articles (1 (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4386290/Nasa-astronauts-reveal-think-aliens-real.html), 2 (https://exonews.org/tag/brian-oleary/), 3 (https://www.collective-evolution.com/2012/12/26/former-princeton-physics-professor-and-nasa-astronaut-blows-whistle-on-ufos-technological-implications/)) on his view of ETs. Brian’s UFO/ET efforts shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), courtesy of the American military. There is no shortage of NASA fanboys who attack Brian (such as Gordon Reade (1 (http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum38/HTML/000163.html), 2 (https://www.amazon.com/making-ex-astronaut-Brian-OLeary/dp/B0006C0CT6#customerReviews))), and some efforts are juvenile (https://humansofsiliconvalley.com/book-review-1-making-ex-astronaut-brian-oleary/). Brian certainly did not shrink from controversy. Here is an interview (http://evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=748) of him just before he moved to South America, right after our NEM conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland). Oh, how I miss him.

Best,

Hi:

It is time to leave Brian’s journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1723&viewfull=1#post1723) alone for now, but there has been a method to my madness in recent years. My hundreds of posts on my journey with Dennis (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=197&viewfull=1#post197), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574)), my recent posts on Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), Owen (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653), my biography project on Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), and even my posts on Greer’s recent efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), have been getting my biographical work done for now. I may have written my last words on Gary and Owen, I doubt that I will do much more on Ed’s bio, and I probably won’t write about Dennis again like I have. He is one of the few still alive from my pantheon, and if I outlive him, there will be plenty more to write, but that might be a long ways off, if it ever happens.

All of those journeys are related in my work, and they are not trivial connections. My father worked at Mission Control (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), and Owen’s work was not only vital to the Space Race, but he became the greatest champion of Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). We were trying to marry Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry) to the panels of Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) when we got the boom lowered on us (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr). And those days have been uniformly lied about by officials (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=687&viewfull=1#post687), the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” and talking heads in the free energy field (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel) ever since, which only confirmed my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). I was so ready for Ed’s message (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) when I encountered it.

As a brief aside, when I encountered the work of Ed, Noam, Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), and other “radicals,” I sought criticism of their work. Their work was so contrary to my indoctrination that it was natural to “test” it. I obtained works they referenced, doing my own dives, and sought critical assessments of their work. I never found valid criticisms (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms) of their work. They were all lies, misrepresentations, irrationality, and the like. When I began going public, my critics (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm) did the same thing: when they weren’t lying outright, they were allergic to facts and could not string two rational thoughts together (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive).

In Matt Taibbi’s wonderful recent interview of Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1737&viewfull=1#post1737), Noam mentioned a book on criticisms of Howard’s A People’s History of the United States, titled Zinnophobia (https://www.amazon.com/Zinnophobia-History-Education-Politics-Scholarship/dp/178535678X), and I have been reading it. In painstaking detail, the author analyzed all of the criticisms of note of Howard’s masterpiece, and without exception, he showed how they all either lied, misrepresented, could not get their basic facts right, or had trouble stringing together two rational thoughts. The book is nearly a Logic 101 class. The work of Noam, Ed, and Howard towers above that of the hacks who assailed them. The early sense that I got of their work was only confirmed in the many years since. Their work stands second to none. In Zinnophobia, the author wrote about how Zinn’s students saw him (that author was also a student of Zinn’s), and it was like how Ed’s and Noam’s students saw them: those men were revered by their students. With Zinn, he was a saint to his students, with a constant long line to his office. Ed was similarly loved by all who knew him (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death), and Noam is besieged all day, every day, even in his 90s. One pal actually accosted Noam on the street as he walked to work at MIT, and Noam told him to book some time with his secretary, and he soon had 15 wonderful minutes of Noam’s time and got some books signed. One of the more remarkable Noam stories that I have encountered was when Drèze asked Noam to come to India to speak, and Noam replied that he had a free week five years from then (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1548&viewfull=1#post1548), and when that week arrived, Noam did do a speaking tour of India.

But back to my main work and how it relates to my biographical work, Brian’s life overlapped mine several times (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary) before our fateful meeting (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), and the Space Race, the Moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), UFOs (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm), JFK (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), and free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit) are all related. JFK tried to end the Space Race, as part of ending the Cold War, and the ET issue may have been the last straw for why he was murdered (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big). When JFK was still alive, several years before Brian’s astronaut days (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nasa), Brian actually spent Thanksgiving with Bobby Kennedy. They all listened to the JFK parody album (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_First_Family_(album)), and Bobby laughed the loudest. Covering up ETs is primarily about covering up their technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), to keep Earth’s power structure intact (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), not to prevent a War of the Worlds reaction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(radio_drama)#Public_reaction). When Brian poked into UFOs, it shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), courtesy of the spooks. When Greer mounted Congressional hearings on the issue, his team similarly had their lives shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak). Dennis should be dead dozens of times over, and several murder attempts related to his free energy efforts. He gave Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) some interesting days at the office.

I have been tidying up these biographical loose ends in preparation for my big essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), to probably be followed by a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481), and then we’ll see.

Best,

Hi:

I wrote last year that the so-called White Helmets in Syria was a propaganda operation (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page11?p=1273&highlight=helmets#post1273), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page12?p=1314&highlight=helmets#post1314)). It was literally founded by a member of British Intelligence in Turkey and exported to Syria. It is clearer than ever (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/06/06/new-call-of-duty-encourages-support-for-the-white-helmets/) now what kind of operation it is. As I expected when I just looked, Wikipedia promotes the propaganda version (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Helmets_(Syrian_Civil_War)#Controversies). No big surprise there.

Hi:

I am cleaning out notes from my posts document, clearing the decks for working on the essay update, and while this is not new (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/125-The-Journey-from-Unawareness-to-Knowledge?p=1574&viewfull=1#post1574) by any means, a brief summary of the hurdles and achievements on the path to being useful to an effort like mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will make it into my essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), and likely the book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481). This post is more practice for it.

The initial hurdles that need to be overcome are:


Ignorance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0) that free energy technology (“FE”) is even possible;
Denial that FE is possible (or even already here (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground)) or suppressed or can be, with reflexive (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), thoughtful (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level2), or sophisticated (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) arguments;
Fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), which comes in many guises;
Lazy or opportunistic interest or acceptance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level4);


Once the initial hurdles are overcome, a new set await, which include ideas that:


There is an easy path (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level6) to development and the market;
The organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) can be evaded by stealth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7);
Any effort to bring FE to the public is doomed from the beginning (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level8), and there is no point in even trying;
The organized suppression can be defeated in battle (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level9);
The organized suppression can be overwhelmed in a stampede (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) of the self-interested and easily manipulated;
The aspirant can become history’s richest and most powerful person (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level11), even a messianic figure (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), by leading or commandeering (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#oleary) the effort;


Nearly all of humanity is stuck at those first hurdles, and those who got past those almost all get stuck at the second set. Common delusions that aspirants have been in thrall to include:


A patented (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent) or proprietary (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary) FE technology can be brought to market;
Many fund-raising avenues (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#money) beckon, including rich philanthropists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich);
That blueprints can be distributed and the FE revolution will happen in garages across the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#guerilla);
That some kind of ideological “glue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mass)” can help hold together an effort;
That social approaches will work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conferences), such as conferences and proselytizing to one’s social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle);
That heroism will work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1);
That the world’s institutions, such as corporate, governmental (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1), charitable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2), academic (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), environmental (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists), religious, or progressive (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/freesoft.htm)), are going to be any help.


I have yet to find anybody who could learn all of the above vicariously, but they had to go down some of those avenues and find out for themselves. That is OK. Lessons that are honestly achieved through experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm) comprise the mother lode of our lives on Earth. But learning the lessons of this path is life-risking and life-wrecking. Nobody can survive all of the above lessons through direct personal experience, but must learn most of them vicariously. I learned most of them through experience, but it cost me my life to do so. My best pupils usually try the proselytizing route at the beginning, and invariably come back to me with tales of ostracism.

So, if they get all of those delusions out of their systems, then what? I have made prescriptions here and there, and here is a summary of useful achievements for my effort:


For starters, if people don’t care beyond their immediate self-interest (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) and have not been awakened yet (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), they won’t be useful for an effort like mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir);
Become scientifically literate (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313), but no more than is needed to digest my big essay, which is written at the popularized science level;
Have a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312);
Go watch UFOs fly over (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm);
Go see and study some disruptive technologies, such as super heat pumps (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), see Brown’s Gas (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers?p=417&viewfull=1#post417) in action, see “impossible” microscopes (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens)); these experiences often have to be quested after, as those technologies have generally been marginalized or wiped out; realize that people are rarely invited to see something like Sparky Sweet’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) technology in action, or get an underground show from the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173);
Understand how markets really work (http://ahealedplanet.net/racket.htm) – there are no free ones and there never have been, just like other ideals that gird the dominant ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), such as the notion of a vigilant and free press (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), the idea of democracy, an objective history (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity), and the like;
Hone one’s analytic chops (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#context), which includes understanding their limitations and potential for misuse;
Stay humble and grounded while contemplating/pursuing the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5);
Understand the role that energy has always played in the journey of life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint) and the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), and FE’s Epochal significance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev);
Learn to keep one’s focus and develop discernment, and not be distracted by the daily circus on Earth; the fringes are filled with New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) and conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) gossip and disinformation, and the mainstream is no better (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm);
Understand why the masses are not going to be helpful; almost all are just trying to survive and temporarily sate their addictions, and virtually nobody ever thinks far past their immediate self-interest (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). They won’t awaken via talk (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), particularly to the potential of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate). Only when the Fifth is already here will they begin to awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#awaken) and understand, which is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). I don’t seek “normal.” :)


Back to work.

Hi:

I have written a little about how World War II was largely fought over oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#contrast), as was World War I, and here is a recent article on the subject (https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/How-Oil-Defeated-The-Nazis.html). As Bucky said (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity), scarcity has been the “fuel” of all wars, and energy scarcity above all. Eliminate energy scarcity, and you eliminate the primary reason for war (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping). Everybody on Earth, other than brainwashed Americans (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing), knows that oil is the only reason for the USA’s military adventures in oil country (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), which even the Guardian admitted (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2014/mar/20/iraq-war-oil-resources-energy-peak-scarcity-economy). Everything else is noise or obfuscation. Iraq’s oil has been privatized (https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2011/12/2011122813134071641.html), which was openly flacked for (https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/privatize-iraqi-oil) before the invasion, which is the greatest crime of the 21st century so far. What happened in Libya (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya) and Syria (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#syria) is simply more of the same. People have to be idiots to think that it is about anything else.

Meanwhile, American society is on a steep path of decay (http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-skid-is-everywhere-and-we-just-received-more-confirmation-that-the-worst-is-yet-to-come), and these are supposedly good times, with official unemployment at record lows and stock markets at record highs. These are truly surreal times. The slide began when American oil production began declining (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), and so-called fracking boom is merely sucking at the dregs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dregs).

On a different note, I am well aware of the hazards that American authors face (https://www.globalresearch.ca/suicide-or-political-persecution-the-mysterious-deaths-of-ernest-hemingway-and-iris-chang/25854), and don’t plan on becoming a casualty. The trauma of writing my war essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm) finally spurred me to stop drinking, and nothing about my writing career has been easy. But long ago, I found a cadence and style that allows me to do what I do. Writing is very hard to do, at least if one wants to do it well, and I put in my time over the past 30 years.

For the subjects that I write about, there are few safe venues on Earth for it. When I write in all-comers forums, the trolls swarm (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) and the admins then pile on, incredibly (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#_edn1), 2 (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=385252), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=640&viewfull=1#post640)), and my recent adventures at Wikipedia with Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) is just a recent example. My pals at Avalon (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=91260&viewfull=1#post91260) have kept the trolls at bay, and while the conversation that I hope to mount (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) has not really happened yet, I remain optimistic. I am not nearly finished, and hope to have another 30 good years in me, like Ed did, and Noam is still going strong (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1737&viewfull=1#post1737) at 90.

Hi:

I am now working on the essay update, and the first order of business is to revise my notes to align with the style that I began with Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm).

When I got to my Wikipedia note (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wikipedia), I revised it, to wit:


This essay links many times to Wikipedia. Readers should be cautioned, however. I performed an experiment with a friend in 2008, and the results showed a rather pronounced imperial, Eurocentric bias regarding what are called “massacres (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/wikimass.htm).” On controversial “fringe” subjects, particularly ones that threaten the global power structure (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), such as free energy suppression (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_energy_suppression), Wikipedia can be worse than worthless, with Wikipedia articles dominated by trolls (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll1), and some of them were professionals.

I became Edward S. Herman’s first biographer (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) in 2017, and my initial goal was to repair his libelous Wikipedia bio. Its dominant editor seemed to be an intelligence community asset (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621#post1621), who has been openly defended by Wikipedia’s co-founder (who calls himself its sole founder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales#Controversy_regarding_Wales's_status_as_co-founder)). Herman died during my biography effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project?p=1089&viewfull=1#post1089), which took nearly two years to complete. When I finally made the changes at Wikipedia, to not only remove the libelous text, but to also make Herman’s article more like a normal Wikipedia article, that likely intelligence asset did not even have to respond, as several other editors did, and my changes were quickly reverted. But as seemed to be the case with the massacre article experience, the worst offender was a Wikipedia administrator, who not only reverted my changes, but erased them (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1368&viewfull=1#post1368), so that the public could not see what I wrote. That administrator’s erasures were accompanied by insults, threats, baseless allegations, and strained legalism. It was about as unprofessional as I have seen, even accompanied by swearing (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brian_O%27Leary&diff=850269000&oldid=847108308). One of my readers challenged Wikipedia’s treatment of my revisions and was banned from Wikipedia himself, under false pretenses. He did not relent, however, enlisted famous help that brought attention to the issue, and Wikipedia finally admitted that it had no legal standing (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1550&viewfull=1#post1550) to erase my work as it did. However, while my changes are no longer erased, they were all reverted, so that they do not appear in Herman’s biography, and I am prevented from ever editing his biography again, as I supposedly have an insoluble conflict of interest as his biographer. Herman’s Wikipedia bio remains libelous to this day.

In the wake of that spectacular censorship of my work, which echoed the kind of treatment that Herman’s work has received (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#censored), I seriously considered removing all links to Wikipedia from my work. However, Wikipedia has become a kind of scholarly necessary evil over the years. For subjects with little immediate political-economic impact, there is nothing else like Wikipedia on the Internet, as it brings together information on subjects in useful ways. While there is plenty of scientific debate over the extinction of the dinosaurs (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction), for instance, the answer does not pose an immediate threat to any political-economic empires, so the CIA and FBI, which have edited Wikipedia (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia/cia-fbi-computers-used-for-wikipedia-edits-idUSN1642896020070816), are likely not active in the debate, and it is unlikely that they actively edit the Wikipedia article on that mass extinction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous%E2%80%93Paleogene_extinction_event).

The general trend that I have noticed over the years is that for subjects will little political-economic impact, Wikipedia seems relatively free of vested interests and ideological meddling with the subjects, but even then, people can become self-appointed policemen of the articles and revert anything that does not align with their views. That can happen with seemingly innocuous subjects. As this essay progressed through Earth’s history and the journey of life on Earth (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint), the closer that it got to the human journey (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#path), or to the human journey itself (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1), the more pronounced the bias was in Wikipedia’s articles. It could get to the point where the article was outright disinformation, particularly for contemporary events. Hence, my links to Wikipedia steadily decreased as the timeline moved forward, as the articles became increasingly biased and unreliable. I use Wikipedia with great caution, and I suggest that readers of this essay use similar caution.


My great project has begun (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), and it will likely take a year or so. There is a lot to revise. It will definitely be a version 2.0 effort. I’ll put up sections as I draft them, like I did the first time.

Best,

Wade

As I like to quip, if I forget what the Pythagorean Theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem) states, Wikipedia is a fine resource. But I don't even bother looking at Wikipedia for hotter topics.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Paul (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1296377&viewfull=1#post1296377):

If it wasn’t Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm) and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), I would not have sallied forth at Wikipedia. As I look back at it, even though that rude Wikipedia admin hacked down Brian’s bio to a stub (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_O%27Leary), at least it is not the disinformation version, like Ed’s is today. When I got involved, Brian’s bio was execrable, dominated by the Moon landings issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#statement), which has blessedly disappeared from his bio, and I did not remove it.

Brian and Ed were very unhappy with their Wikipedia bios, for good reason. They were really the only bios on them, and both greatly misrepresented their work. I am finished with contributing to Wikipedia, but after I do my big essay revision, and maybe a book, I will rewrite Brian’s bio, beefing it up a bit.

Yes, for anything the least bit controversial, Wikipedia can be found defending the Establishment and assailing the “fringes,” even if it is Noam and Ed. The far right gets a free pass (as its co-founder is a right-winger), while the left gets crucified. As Noam and others have written, even the mainstream is far right, and the shift has been happening throughout my lifetime. As Noam said (http://bostonreview.net/politics/noam-chomsky-scott-casleton-choosing-hope), the “radical” programs of AOC and Bernie Sanders would not have surprised Eisenhower much.

Hi:

I don’t plan to do this again, but since I wrote about Wikipedia yesterday (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page2?p=1749&viewfull=1#post1749), particularly the dust-up over Ed’s bio, I’ll write about the defects in Ed’s Wikipedia bio. I think that my bio of Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) makes Wikipedia’s deficiencies very clear, but here goes.

For one thing, Arya Stark’s “bio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arya_Stark)” is far longer than Ed’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_S._Herman), which shows what kind of serious medium Wikipedia is. When Noam passes on, he will take his place with Socrates, Newton, and Einstein in the history of Western thought. Ed was his most important co-author, and the most famous book that Noam wrote was with Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), and Ed was the book’s primary author. Before that reasonable editor dropped out from editing Ed’s bio, he/she at least reorganized Ed’s bio a little, making it marginally better, and at least the Propaganda Model leads the discussion of the political section of Ed’s bio, although with Wikipedia’s typical staggering incompetence, Wikipedia could not even get the number of filters in the Propaganda Model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_S._Herman#Propaganda_model) right; there are five filters, not four. Somewhat tellingly, the filter that is left out is flak (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#flak), which is an attack on anybody who fails to parrot the propaganda. Ed’s bio is largely an exercise in flak.

The general theme at Wikipedia is that right-wing nut jobs get respectful, even hagiographic, treatment (1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_Rummel), 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marko_Attila_Hoare) – see Ed’s assessment of Rummel’s work in his critique of Pinker’s imperial valentine (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker) and Hoare is way out there – his shrill writings (https://greatersurbiton.wordpress.com/2009/12/13/anti-balkan-racism-in-academia-and-on-the-left/) are easy to find (http://srebrenica-genocide.blogspot.com/2005/12/chomskys-genocidal-denial.html)), while the world’s leading intellectuals are libeled. The year after Manufacturing Consent was published, Noam wrote about challenges to the model, its validity, and its predictions (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#predictions). Somewhat amazingly, I had to introduce the framework at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Revolutionary_Violence:_Bloodbaths_in_Fact_%26_Propaganda#Contents) that was a theme from Noam and Ed’s earliest work together, on the American classification of bloodbaths based on their political-economic utility. Ed wrote on that framework for the rest of his life. In the attacks on Ed, they rarely presented the framework that Noam and Ed used, which was like attacking relativity while downplaying its predictions, or attacking Galileo’s findings while failing to discuss his telescope. Even though their framework (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#bloodbaths) was created near the beginning of Ed’s political writings, it does not appear in his bio until the end (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_S._Herman#The_Politics_of_Genocide), in an example of a “nefarious” bloodbath, and their focus was on the media’s treatment of the situation, not the objective truth of it. In almost all attacks on Ed’s writings on Cambodia, Yugoslavia, and Rwanda, the assailants fail to acknowledge that Ed’s focus was always on the media’s treatment of the situations, not on the objective truth of any of them. It was the media’s double-standards that Ed focused on, which his assailants failed to acknowledge about 100% of the time, as did the New York Times in Ed’s obituary (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#nytobit).

In the Vietnam section (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_S._Herman#Vietnam), disinformation professional Philip Cross (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621&viewfull=1#post1621) greatly misrepresented one of the greatest acts of censorship in the late 20th century, when a publishing company was wiped out by its owners (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#warner), to prevent Noam and Ed’s book from being published. And every time that a Wikipedia editor tried to remove it, another editor reinstated it. At least the account of the censorship, which I beefed up, survived in the article on that book (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Revolutionary_Violence:_Bloodbaths_in_Fact_%26_Propaganda).

The Cambodian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_S._Herman#Cambodia) section has a link to “Cambodian Genocide Denial (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide_denial),” which has a section on Noam and Ed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide_denial#Chomsky_and_Herman). Ed was Jewish, as is Noam. How egregious, to even place them in a conversation on genocide denial. For the record, there are Jewish scholars who engage in genocide denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#different), as they make the case that Jews were the only people to suffer from genocide. But Ed and Noam’s work is the furthest thing from that. Their writings on Cambodia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia2) focused on how the media downplayed American responsibility for what happened while Pol Pot was blamed (even though the USA supported him (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia1) after Vietnam overthrew him), and on the drumbeat of “genocide,” while there was little media access to Cambodia. In nearby Indonesia, however, Suharto’s truly genocidal regime invaded East Timor (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#timor) in the same year as the Cambodian “genocide” began, and few Americans have even heard of East Timor, as Suharto’s regime invaded with American weapons and diplomatic support. That was the point of their Cambodian writings, not who the good and bad guys were in Cambodia, but the propaganda barrage (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia) portrayed Ed and Noam as supporters of the Khmer Rouge and “genocide deniers.” Big lies, all the way, in a smear campaign that lasts to this day, to defame Noam. Noam discussed the Cambodia issue (https://taibbi.substack.com/p/preface-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky-the-fairway) in his recent interview with Taibbi (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1739&viewfull=1#post1739).

In a pretense of objectivity, Wikipedia will often note “both sides” of the issue, and what is “notable” about Ed’s bio is how “notable” many of his critics weren’t. Sophal Ear’s initial claim to fame is attacking Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ear), as he has long misrepresented Noam’s stance on Cambodia. You don’t have to surf long to see his vituperative attacks on Noam, and in Ed’s bio, Ear is quoted as saying that his book with Noam is “one of the most supportive books of the Khmer revolution,” when their book explicitly states that it isn’t (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#causal). How can Ear get it so backwards? Similarly, Bruce Sharp is the very definition of a hack, calling Noam an “evil scholar (https://www.mekong.net/cambodia/media1.htm),” and he and Ear kind of played tag-team in defaming Noam over Cambodia, and their fallacies of logic and misrepresentations of fact (http://www.flagrancy.net/khmerchomsky.html) are nearly legendary. But in Noam’s bio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky#Edward_Herman_and_the_Faurisson_affair:_1976%E2%80%9380) and Ed’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_S._Herman#Cambodia), they are the chief critics on Noam and Ed’s Cambodia writings. Heck, my work is probably more “notable” than Sharp’s is.

On Yugoslavia, Ed is outright libeled (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_S._Herman#Writings_on_Srebrenica) by Hoare (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marko_Attila_Hoare), who worked for the kangaroo court tribunal (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#hrw) and claimed that Ed’s work was about denying that a massacre happened. That is another Big Lie, but it is placed in Ed’s bio as if it was responsible criticism. Ed’s work was about showing how a massacre of perhaps 800 men was inflated into a “genocide,” while at the same time, a massacre of at least 8,000 people (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#kibeho) was covered up as if it had never happened, as it was committed by the USA’s puppet in the region (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda), who is actually responsible for the greatest genocide in the past generation (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#kagame) (only rivaled by the USA’s serial genocides (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading)), but is feted as a hero in the English-speaking media to this day.

In finishing, one of the greatest defects in Ed’s Wikipedia bio, other than its libelous misrepresentations, is that it basically only covers “nefarious bloodbaths” and largely ignores the rest of Ed’s work. That emphasis shows the ideological nature of Ed’s bio. It has a very long way to go before it can aspire to reaching Wikipedia’s professed standards, and I doubt that I will live to see it.

Wade

far right ... left ... Noam
The following almost surely doesn't reflect awareness of Noam's insights, but perhaps:

Far Right: Enforced subservience to an overt dominant authority, because "that authority is better."
Far Left: Enforced subservience to a covert dominant authority, "for the greater good."
Middle: Passive acquiescence to some dominant authority.
Formal Religion: Self imposed subservience to a covert dominant authority masquerading as an overtly superior moral authority.

In other words, do you really know whose boot is on your neck, and did you grant them (or whom they appear to be) the authority to put that boot there, or did you kneel down and pray for that boot?

Hi Paul (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1296515&viewfull=1#post1296515):

I got my chuckle of the day from that. Good stuff. Huge subject. The only electoral rally that I ever attended was the Nader rally in Seattle in 2000 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#nader), and Jim Hightower (http://jimhightower.com/) was among the speakers, while Eddie Vedder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Vedder) serenaded the 10,000 or so of us there. Hightower said that the left-right dichotomy was misleading, as it really operates top-down. :) The so-called left and right both operate from the victim principle (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), whether we call it conspiracist/structuralist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism), left/right, etc. It is about love or fear, wholeness or separation, scarcity or abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), and overt and covert is definitely a facet of it, too. Do we keep giving our power away, or do we lovingly take it back and learn responsibility? I think that this is why we are here (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#tale).

Hi:

Some odds and ends…

The CIA was very active in covering up the JFK hit (http://www.alt-market.com/articles/3728-are-conspiracy-theories-tearing-society-apart-or-saving-us-from-destruction), but that is no great news, not with Dulles’s involvement (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398).

To my knowledge, this is the last interview that Ed gave (https://truthout.org/articles/edward-s-herman-on-ideological-hegemony-in-contemporary-societies/), which made it (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#facebook1) into a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#tpmt). The USA is great at setting up kangaroo court tribunals in nations that it wrecks (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#hrw), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ictr)), but when a deeply compromised court (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#icc) even begins investigating the USA’s prodigious war crimes (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#atrocities) (speaking of which (https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/1802)…), the USA pulls all the stops to kill it (https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-usa-icc-idUSKCN1QW1ZH). Ed had to come up with a new word (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah) to describe American actions.

Orwell’s 1984 turned 70 last month (https://www.activistpost.com/2019/05/nineteen-eighty-four-turns-70-years-old-in-a-world-that-looks-a-lot-like-the-book.html), and is more relevant than ever (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell).

There is a lot of ballyhooing of traditional alternative energy (https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Renewable-Energy/Renewables-Are-Set-To-Outprice-Oil-Gas-By-2020.html), but it has a long hill to climb (https://ourfiniteworld.com/2019/04/09/the-true-feasibility-of-moving-away-from-fossil-fuels/). They will never reach Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) levels, and have severe limitations (https://www.resilience.org/stories/2014-12-04/the-end-of-global-development-as-we-know-it/).

Bill has made Brian’s first free energy book (http://avalonlibrary.net/ebooks/Brian%20O'Leary%20-%20Miracle%20in%20the%20Void.pdf) available, which is what began our relationship (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#miracle).

I have a busy next several days ahead of me, so will likely be fairly quiet on the posting front.

Hi:

A common theme in my work is that what is coming are changes at fundamental levels, in many ways. The most fundamental supporter of life on Earth and the human journey is usable energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents). That won’t ever change. And when there were big energy breakthroughs, among life forms or human societies, radical changes followed, and I found that “radical” was not radical enough a term for those events in the human journey, so I use “Epochal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable).” A lot of what is called “radical (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm)” in political-economic circles is merely reshuffling the deck of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity), which is not really radical.

But aside from that biggest of the big ones (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), other changes will follow from that. What we call science today will become almost unrecognizable. If/when the technologies that I am aware of (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) come in from the shadows, the principles behind their operation will render the corpus of today’s orthodox physics into quaint ideas of how the universe works, not far removed from cave drawings.

For one thing, consciousness will be seen as something far more than an ephemeral epiphenomenon of brain activity, but the entire physical universe, as well as of all of Creation, will be seen as a manifestation of consciousness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#vonneumann), and materialism and its variants (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), which is the religion of our Epoch, will die a welcome death. That will be the greatest change of all in science’s orientation, it will color all aspects of science, and there will be radical paradigm shifts (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction), which will manifest in myriad ways (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming).

Some of the small stuff will include the findings of those “impossible” microscopes (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens)) that have been around for nearly a century. The insanity of the attack-the-tumor paradigm (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket) of orthodox cancer treatment will mercifully end. The multifarious evil of fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory) will be seen by Fifth Epoch generations as primitive “medicine” on par with drilling holes in people’s heads to let the bad spirits out. Similarly, I don’t expect vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination) as we know it to survive, as the germ theory of disease (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#pasteur) gets such a major overhaul that the ideas of health and disease, with treatments that would seem like magic to today’s eyes, will only faintly resemble the orthodox (http://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#orthodoxy) versions of them today, if resemble them at all.

Money will become meaningless and vanish (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange), as will nations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations). Warfare will be seen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) as utter insanity, and poverty will become a distant memory (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive). Cities as we know them will vanish (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), and there will be one race, one language that everybody knows, and almost nothing of today’s world will survive into the super-Epoch of abundance, as humanity becomes a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev), when spacefaring becomes normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spacejunk), like going to the store. But without that energy breakthrough (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), the rest can’t happen. That is just how the world works and how the human journey has gone.

And we won’t get there by battling the global elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), who know very well what I am writing about, and my effort seeks to avoid the yawning pitfalls (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) that await beginners, the naïve (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), and unwary. During my preposterous journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm), I have developed an approach that I know will work, if I can find the people (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page2?p=1734&viewfull=1#post1734) who can do the work and learn to hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). It may only help a little, but it may also be the critical missing piece.

Wade

The initial hurdles that need to be overcome are:

Once the initial hurdles are overcome, a new set await, which include ideas that:


My path to FE (or its doorstep)


Waking up
Running into Chomsky, Amartya Sen, Richard Stallman
Reading Energy and Human Journey
Reading about Human Evolution and watching CARTA (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1B24EADC01219B23)


With all the thinking and reading I understand

energy is at the root of our lives. and it explains our values and behaviors.
our evolutionary past explains human societies today
very few can overcome the scarcity thinking embedded in brains
very few people care (comes from our past)
it is easy for psychopaths to control us and suppress epochal technology because humanity does not care
still not sure about FE but willing to give Wade the benefit out doubt

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1297455&viewfull=1#post1297455):

You have what I’ll call a belief chasm to cross, and I gave you homework (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1264365&viewfull=1#post1264365) on crossing it. I am not saying that you will get all the way across before you can lay your hands on a working free energy device, but that chasm will shrink a lot. I well remember before I first went to Gilliland’s place (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm), how I thought about UFOs. I knew so many people who had extraordinary UFO encounters that I did not really doubt their existence, but watching one fly over (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm#call) was a significant event. I went to go see one, not as a “skeptic (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends).” Within seconds of the event, I asked myself if it was worth a three-day weekend to see five seconds of a UFO’s lighting up on request. I decided that it was, have been back three times since then, and never came away disappointed. But that is just one example.

I read about Naessens’s microscope (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens) and its findings for a year or so before I had my own dark-field reading. Having the reading was significant. If I had not had my radicalizing adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) and seen our efforts mercilessly libeled in the media (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=687&viewfull=1#post687), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707)), I wonder if I would have ever heard of Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), or have been interested in or could have digested their work.

I have seen people strongly deny my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), which meant that they had not played on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584). You eventually learned that one. Even if I put aside my close friend’s underground demo (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), my own adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) in energy technology suppression, and other events, what I encountered with Mark (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&highlight=comings#post811647), Sparky (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky), Ron (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), and other fellow travelers, including Brian’s life-shortening investigation of UFOs (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), went a long way toward closing my “chasm” on the reality of free energy technology, which was not much of a chasm to start with. I had a spook relative (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), long before I met Dennis.

I had most of those experiences and note-trading sessions before I really got very studious on the material that became my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm), and I have written it plenty: without the awakening experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) that I had from my adventures, I probably would not have had much worth saying. And like Brian, Mark, and other fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mystical), I had my mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312) long before my worldly awakenings, and that mystical awakening was a key event in the process of our general awakening.

It was my radicalized perspective that allowed me to write on the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), the medical racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm), the American history I was never taught in school (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), and the like. On the medical racket, for instance, I had early experiences (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience)), quite independent from my days with Dennis, which prepared me for being able to write that essay. What happened with my adventures with Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1368&viewfull=1#post1368) and Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1550&viewfull=1#post1550) was a trivial event, compared to what I experienced with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), my previous encounters with trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) and admins who pile on (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=639&viewfull=1#post639), 2 (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=385252)), etc. I gave the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” the benefit of the doubt, until they demonstrated their criminality (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel) to me.

To be sure, there is a great deal of chaff on the fringes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir?p=121&viewfull=1#post121), but my work is kind of a guide for navigating it. There is wheat out there, if you know where to look and hone your tools of discernment. When you eat enough fringe wheat, that chasm will shrink so much that you may even cross it before free energy is delivered to your home. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

While editing the notes of my big essay revision, especially the Wikipedia caveat (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page2?p=1749&viewfull=1#post1749), I once again found myself reading Ed and David Peterson’s shredding (http://coldtype.net/Assets.12/PDFs/0812.PinkerCrit.pdf) of Pinker’s imperial tripe (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker), and that Ian Morris praised Pinker’s work is quite telling. I have plenty of problems with Morris’s work, and we’ll see how much I use it in the essay update. I was reading the Rummel section of Ed and Peterson’s critique of Pinker, and Ed’s idea of “chutzpah (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah)” came up while reading it. Rummel was a right-wing nut job (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751), way out there on the subject of “democide.” In Rummel’s creative arithmetic, the USA only subjected 5,500 people in Vietnam to “democide,” while North Vietnam ruthlessly slaughtered nearly two million people. The opposite is close to the truth (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early). If you read Rummel’s “logic” on the issue, the USA only tried to kill combatants, and scrupulously spared civilians. But every excess death in North Vietnam was laid at the feet of its communist government. The double-standard is surreal. Ed and Peterson showed how Pinker also used many “scholars” who exercised similar double standards, but without Rummel’s foaming-at-the-mouth Limbaugh-isms. I regularly see Rummel trotted out by American cheerleaders, as they assail Nick Turse’s work, for instance.

I have seen these kinds of double-standards in death counts ever since reading of the Spanish conquest and genocide in the New World (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide). Even if the Spanish did not intend to wipe out the natives with the diseases that they brought, they were responsible for doing so. But in credible studies of the deaths of the natives of Mesoamerica and South America, Spanish violence and exploitation was about as deadly as the diseases. Similarly, those “gentle” and “fair play” English get to own the nearly two billion excess deaths in India (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#asiandeaths) during their rule. The fact is that superior violence was the only reason for the Spanish presence in the New World and the British presence in India, and they were there to help nobody but themselves. Of course, all manner of imperial justification was invoked, just as the USA does today, with its “humanitarian (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record)” interventions and “fighting terror (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc)” with “shock and awe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_and_awe#Iraq_War)” invasions under clearly false pretenses (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). The hypocrisy is off the scale.

It is kind of funny and kind of not how the same cartoon is getting recycled to show the USA’s “humanitarian” interventions around the world. The attached are from 2013 and 2019. They can just keep adding new names to it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

The downside of having a huge library is that sometimes I lose things. I have bought two of the same book several times over the years, and when I lose things, it usually means that it is not lost forever, but it can be more time than it is worth to find it, so I’ll buy another copy. I recently reflected on my adventures at Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page2?p=1749&viewfull=1#post1749) regarding Ed’s bio, and how Krishna dove into it and got banned, under false pretenses, of course, which seems to be standard at Wikipedia. I thought of a Wizard of Id cartoon that kind of summed it up. It is more than 50 years old. I copied a cartoon the book from it several years ago, and probably misplaced it then. After spending a bit of time hunting for the book, I just ordered another. It had the cartoon that I remembered, which is attached, with some additional captioning. I am laughing as I write this.

Best,

Hi:

As I begin working on the essay update, I can see how busy I will be. It will take all of my spare time over the next year, and then some. As I change how I present my notes, I am running into scientific papers and findings on Precambrian times, just for starters. The Snowball Earths (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cryogenian) have been getting a lot of attention. The Shuram excursion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#shuram) is being proposed as an artifact of a dramatic change in the circulation of the oceans (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987117302001), related to a high axial tilt of Earth in its orientation toward the Sun. It is being proposed that the Snowball Earth erased depositional layers that were miles thick (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2018/12/part-earths-crust-went-missing-glaciers-may-be-why-geology/).

All sorts of papers have been published in recent years on Ediacaran period (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ediacaran) organisms (1 (https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/artful-amoeba/what-the-heck-are-these-fossils/), 2 (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/death-masks-reveal-how-earliest-complex-organisms-became-fossils/?redirect=1), 3 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987113001096), 4 (https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/08/these-half-billion-year-old-creatures-were-animals-unlike-any-known-today)), and a key concept that comes from the study of those days is that the violent environmental changes created by the ice sheets and changes in oceanic chemistry and circulation provided the stimulus for the evolution of complex life. What is quite interesting about that line of thought is that a similar dynamic has been proposed to lead to the arrival of Homo sapiens on the evolutionary scene (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sapiens), as the advancing and retreating ice sheets created great environmental stresses that arguably spurred human evolution.

Similarly, the stresses of humanity’s Epochs are also considered to have contributed to each new energy breakthrough. Those stresses could also be self-inflicted, such as the megafauna extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), the deforestation of England (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse), and Peak Oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#journeys), as humanity has always depleted energy sources with abandon, but the wildly fluctuating climate (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#natufian) at the end of the latest glacial interval contributed. That is where the pattern-recognition of generalists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#specialists) can piggy-back atop the work of the specialists and reach new insights.

One area that I have read a great deal about in recent years is about hunter-gatherers before the Domestication Revolution. The myths of peaceful and ecologically wise hunter-gatherers have largely been put to bed. Those pre-domestication humans had brief golden ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer) when there was easy meat to be had, but humans invariably drove the easy meat to extinction, and then humans got territorial and violent again. There has long been a debate between the “hawks” and “doves” on pre-domestication humans and how violent they were. After long study of the arguments and evidence, I have to come down on the side of Hobbes, not Rousseau (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hobbes). When resources get scarce, humans get violent. All of the USA’s recent “humanitarian (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record)” imperial adventures have all been about oil and empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1757&viewfull=1#post1757). There are no exceptions.

Hi:

To Krishna’s recent post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1297455&viewfull=1#post1297455), finding out that people don’t care was the primary lesson of my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and goes the furthest in explaining humanity’s predicament (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). When people deny that truth to me, it means that they have not yet played on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584). If they ever do, they are in for a rude awakening, if they survive the experience. People often think that to acknowledge the state of affairs is to be judgmental (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) and “negative.” They are wrong. It is just accepting the world that we live in. As long as people live in scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), they will not care about anything outside of their immediate self-interest, or perhaps their in-group’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) welfare. It is just what it is, and that manifests in all facets of our current existence, from how the media shamelessly lies every day (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), to how scholars regularly violate their most elementary standards (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity) of behavior, to how every profession has prostituted itself to the prevailing winds of money and power (http://ahealedplanet.net/racket.htm), to how I am besieged by trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) in public forums, while the admins pile on (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1748&viewfull=1#post1748), and so on.

Not all is lost, however. If I can find enough people who care (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), have been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), and do the work, the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will beckon. In the Fifth Epoch, scarcity and fear will no longer be humanity’s primary operating principles and the means for elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) manipulation of the masses, and they know it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear). The transition to the Fifth Epoch will be the greatest one in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev), with nearly unimaginable consequences (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), but I seek those who dare to imagine it (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#imagine). It is worth one man’s life to try out this path (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and I am not complaining. It has been an “interesting” life. :)

Hi:

Something is up with UFOs, with all of the recent articles (1 (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/19/warner-classified-briefing-ufos-1544273), 2 (https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/444422-friend-foe-or-unknown-force-flying-overhead-congress-should-find), 3 (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/23/us-navy-guidelines-reporting-ufos-1375290)). Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) sent something around recently, repeating (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL0Rpy0Dhhs&list=PLnrEt2fIdZ0YaGWxWEIKPW_F3akz_eQ5d) his false flag warning (https://siriusdisclosure.com/cseti-papers/when-disclosure-serves-secrecy/). One thing is for sure: far more than meets the eye is happening, as Brian O learned the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847). The circus continues, and I try to keep my head down and keep doing my work. Strange times.

Americans are arguably history’s most brainwashed people (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing), while it all happens under the illusion of freedom. Freedom of speech in the USA is a farce (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#mcgehee), and as bad as journalism is in the West, as it caters to the powerful, it is not catering enough, so Western journalists are under siege (https://consortiumnews.com/2019/06/05/more-police-raids-as-war-on-journalism-escalates-worldwide/). This is what Ed and Noam called “flak (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#flak),” and what is happening to Julian Assange (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731) is merely one of the more spectacular instances of it.

I know whistleblowers (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#whistleblower) and have been called one myself, although I don’t consider myself to be one. Whistleblowing is in danger of dying in the USA (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/06/19/pause-a-moment-and-think-about-how-many-people-arent-whistleblowing/), and the public’s replies to these situations shows how brain-addled (or low-integrity (https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/07/15/considering-the-obvious/) – take your pick) Americans are. It only confirms my treatment in open forums (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1748&viewfull=1#post1748), Wikipedia, etc.

Americans have absolutely no sense of history, just like Orwell predicted (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell), as most agree with prosecuting Assange (https://washingtonsblog.com/2019/04/by-3-to-1-americans-want-assange-prosecuted.html). Americans could stand to actually read the Constitution, and the First Amendment in particular. It is about the ability of the citizenry to hold government accountable (https://washingtonsblog.com/2019/04/americans-have-no-idea-what-freedom-of-the-press-means.html). Of course, the American government began waging war on the First Amendment from the beginning, with the Sedition Act (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sedition) and continuing to the absurd Espionage Act (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#espionage), which Assange is being prosecuted under. Americans have no idea what freedom of the press means (https://washingtonsblog.com/2019/04/americans-have-no-idea-what-freedom-of-the-press-means.html). The Espionage Act is primarily used to prosecute whistleblowers (https://www.wired.com/story/julian-assange-computer-fraud-and-abuse-act/), not spies.

What makes the Assange situation surreal is that the event in question is the publication of a video of the American murder of a journalist in Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#reuters). As Noam has said, the greatest crime of this century so far is the American invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), all based on lies. The greatest crime of the 20th century was the German invasion of Poland, so the USA is in good company, and Hitler used the Anglo-American experience in North America to craft his imperial strategy (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hitler), and the USA has even outdone Hitler at times, such as in Vietnam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#newsweek).

So, a little truth about the greatest crime of this century comes out, and the USA is martyring the people who brought it to the public, just as investigative journalists are supposed to do. And since investigative journalism in the USA is nearly dead, it was up to an Australian journalist to bring it to the public’s attention.

In that light, all of the “Assange is a traitor” talk that you see here (https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1140374020468047872), for instance, is beyond insane. In order to be a “traitor,” Assange would have to be an American. The multifaceted evil can be overwhelming for Americans to even think about, so virtually nobody does. What crazy times to live in. At this time, I do what I can to avoid Assange’s fate, but there are no guarantees.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I discovered another interview with Noam (https://fair.org/home/still-manufacturing-consent-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky/), about Manufacturing Consent (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), by an author that I cite in Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#venezuela). Noam discussed how he and Ed divvied up the writing duties, talked about the fate of their first collaboration (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), etc. It is always good, but I want to discuss a topic that Noam touched on, which has an important intersection with my work.

Right out of college, I began questioning my indoctrination into my profession, asking that “Easter Bunny” question that everybody laughed at (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#idealist). Five sobering (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#shaky), and eventually radicalizing (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), years later, in the month that I truly woke up (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces), I realized that my naïve question was the one that nobody wanted to ask (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#silverado). It amounted to challenging the in-group conceit (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), which can simply be presented as, “We are the good guys.”

My profession was a parasite on the body politic, a financial cop on the take, but nobody would admit it, as we made big money by helping to provide an illusion of fairness in capitalism. Even my favorite partner’s moment of candor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#independence) did not really challenge the paradigm, not directly, although he was dead by age 63, and he likely drank himself to death. Because I went through that process of realization by the time I was 30 years old, I have been able to recognize that dynamic for more than 30 years. I don’t know exactly when I heard Dennis talk about his awakening moment in a bank lobby (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice) (it was sometime during my first stint with him (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601)), but that was when his American Dream illusions went up in smoke.

My first post-Dennis encounter with that kind of moment of awakening was Ralph McGehee’s awakening moment in his quarters in Saigon (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), when he finally realized, after 16 years, that his employer, the CIA, was not a force of light, but of darkness. To a degree, it takes one to know one, and that was why Ralph said that my summary of his work (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#synopsis) was the best that he knew of. The awakened Boy Scouts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) could recognize their fellow travelers and understand their moments of awakening. Very few people ever awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). Awakening means giving up one’s in-group conceits, but in-group membership is how we survive (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason), and few people on Earth have enough honesty to achieve it. The primary message of the Infinite Spirit (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nature) is rarely understood, much less embraced, in Earthly existence. I have literally watched people embrace certain death (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#doom) over questioning their indoctrination and conditioning.

When Ralph and I had our moments of awakening, we had what is called a “paradigm shift (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction).” That data for the new paradigm was always there and rarely covered up very well, but we had to overcome a conceptual hurdle, to discard the old paradigm and see the new one, and then that data made perfect sense. That data was only “anomalous” under the old paradigm, but fit perfectly with the new paradigm.

So, in that interview with Noam (https://fair.org/home/still-manufacturing-consent-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky/), he repeated one of his themes, in that Manufacturing Consent was largely a defense of the media, not an indictment of it. Noam said that journalists had diligently uncovered the facts that he and Ed used in their work. The reporters were being perfectly honest in their digging up the facts, just as I honestly did my auditing work. However, they saw those facts under a false paradigm, in that the slaughter of millions of helpless peasants (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1) in Southeast Asia was a mistake (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#mistake), not a crime. Ed called it the “accident theory (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#noble).” The USA simply erred in its high mission of protecting the freedom of the very peasants that it slaughtered, and those days gave rise to the Orwellian quote: “It became necessary to destroy the town to save it (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Vietnam_War#M).”

Well, those diligent journalists were just like my erstwhile colleagues in public accounting: our efforts had nothing to do with our stated ideals, and were often an inversion of them. It is similar to mainstream oncologists’ thinking that attacking the tumor (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket) was somehow going to cure their patients, when instead, it hastened their demise.

The mainstream media does not tell the truth, but purveys Big Lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) instead. It does not challenge the powerful (its stated ideal (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ethics)), but is uniformly servile. However, most of the participating members of the media think that they are involved in some great quest for the truth and challenge to the powerful, not the dissemination of Orwellian propaganda (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing). But try to engage professionals on ideas that challenge their in-group conceits (AKA “assumptions”), and watch what happens (what happened to my efforts to correct Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) at Wikipedia is a classic example of this phenomenon). As Noam so colorfully says in his interviews, they will “go berserk (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1737&viewfull=1#post1737).” Noam was referring to historians, academics, and business executives when he talked about them going “berserk” and “crazy,” but that can be generalized to any profession.

Overcoming our survival-based in-group conceits might be the most difficult feat on Earth, which is why I say that the primary lesson of my journey is that personal integrity is so rare (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). Only the Boy and Girl Scouts have it to the degree necessary to truly wake up, and even then, it often takes many years for them to awaken to the Big Lies of their indoctrination and conditioning, which nearly begins in the cradle (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms). I have seen my “peers” blow a gasket when reading this section (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress) of my site, as they lost all semblance of sanity. That reaction is exactly the “go berserk” and “go crazy” phenomenon that Noam referred to.

While coming fully awake to their in-group conceits is extremely rare, it does not mean that everybody is fast asleep, either. In those professions, cognitive dissonance (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive) is a common affliction. In the CIA’s headquarters are zombies (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#stockwell) who drink themselves into a stupor each evening, counting their days to retirement. I doubt that my CIA-contract-agent relative (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia) ever figured out the evil that he was part of, as he drank himself to death, trying to dull the cognitive dissonance. Some wake up enough so that they get out (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#justify3), in any way that they can. For those with consciences, they will gradually develop cognitive dissonance, but very few are willing or able to make the paradigm shift that Ralph, I, and my fellow Boy and Girl Scouts did. I know that I seek needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) because they really cared (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) is what all of them will have in common.

Best,

Hi:

My ranking of the needed qualities for my Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is ranked for a reason, and they are related to my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1763&viewfull=1#post1763). If a person’s heart is not the in right place to start with (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), the rest won’t matter. If that person has not awakened yet (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), my work will either be meaningless or seen as some kind of threat, best avoided or attacked (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll).

Only those with their hearts in the right place and who have been awakened can help with my task. If people really care and are awake, they will have also realized how alone they are (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). They will recognize their own journeys in the accounts that I present. That recognition will help bring them to me. If they recognize their journeys of awakening in the journeys of my fellow travelers, they will have crossed the biggest hurdle, and the rest is relatively easy. If they already know the overriding importance of the energy issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), then they have already done nearly all of the necessary work. From there, it is not much of a leap to understand that free energy technology is already here (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but sequestered from public awareness and use. And they will understand very well why it is sequestered as it is and why all independent efforts to develop it are attacked and destroyed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). They will also realize that the many doomed approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) have naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) and/or a lack of integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) in common, and that the only approaches with a prayer have to aim far higher than anything before them, in both integrity and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1).

I have found that a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312) helps, as it helps people shed the religion of our Epoch, which goes by materialism and its variants (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), of which organized skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) is its most prominent exemplar, and they are very much like the Franciscans and Dominicans (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#cathar) of their day, as they run a secular Inquisition.

The next several weeks will be busy ones for me, not to mention working on my big essay revision (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), so I will be fairly quiet on the posting front. I see myself being fairly quiet for the rest of the year, and my posts will largely be putting up drafts of sections of my big essay revision.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I am going to make some posts on my journey of awakening, spurred by previous posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1763&viewfull=1#post1763). Awakening is a key process for what I am doing. People have to come to me already awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), or well on their way to it. People can only awaken from experience, not via teachings or reading (or YouTube clips :) ). The people I seek will be able to recognize their journeys in mine. People can awaken in all walks of life, and what I mean by awakening is that people recognize their in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) conditioning for what it is, and discard it. In-group conditioning is part of a survival process (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason), but it also short-circuits the sentience process (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1). All in-group ideologies elevate one group at the expense of others. Some are obvious (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#obvious), and some are subtler (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle). As long as people are in thrall to their egocentric, in-group ideologies, they are not going to be useful for this Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). They have to raise their awareness past their immediate self-interest (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) to be able to help, and in our world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), few ever achieve it. The vast majority of humanity will stay fast asleep until the Fifth Epoch is delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and not before, and that is OK and normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine).

My awakening process was gradual in ways, and brutally abrupt in others. I came in a Boy Scout, and will leave that way. What my fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) all had in common is that none of us began our journeys as “rebellious,” but we deeply drank the Kool-Aid of our indoctrination and conditioning. When we left home, indoctrination met reality, we all had moments of cognitive dissonance (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive), our awakening process often began in fits and starts, and could be a gradual process, but most of us had dramatic moments, when our eyes were finally opened. But those first moments were far from our last ones. It was far more a process that gradually began and never ended, than it was a moment when it all became clear.

To begin with, I had a genetic inheritance, coming from a family of geniuses (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102). I am only the middle child on that score, but in history’s most privileged demographic group (white, educated, American man), it was enough to set me on my path. I was a bookworm from the time I could walk (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), and my current library, of two thousand volumes, just comes with the territory. My first grade teacher remarked on my love for nature, so that was also something that I came in with. I have to thank my parents that I was not subjected to heavy religious indoctrination. If I had been, my mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) could have taken a different path, if it would have happened at all. But along with the good came the bad. My mother watched TV all-day-long and brought home tabloids. I kicked tabloids at age 13, and TV at 18 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102). I was also raised in a racist and bigoted household, and I left home spouting that garbage. It took a couple of years to finally lay that to rest. I was raised in history’s most racist nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism1), so what I grew up with was not unusual (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism). I was raised with the idea that unless I had been a soldier (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), I was not quite a man. What a terrible idea to raise boys with. My grandfather (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#moved) grew up with a rifle in his hand, as my father did, and a BB-gun was placed in my hands at about age nine or so, and I still shudder when I think of killing a bird with it, seeing it fall out of the tree that I shot it from, as I looked at its dead body on the ground.

So, along with the blessings came plenty of baggage, which I am still shedding. That is how the process of awakening works.

These posts will take a while, as I am plenty busy with other chores.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

There is a lot of scuttlebutt (https://exonews.org/the-admiral-wilson-leaked-ufo-document-corporate-reverse-engineering-of-alien-technology/) these days on Tom Wilson and his meeting with Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) and Mitchell (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page3?p=416&viewfull=1#post416). I hear about it all the time. All that I will say is that the technologies described are real (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and, for me, that is all that matters. My friend’s kidnapping and show (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173) was likely put on by the so-called White Hats (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#white), but I think that their hats are more of a shade of gray. I don’t really want to go down the rabbit hole of hoary speculation, “channelings,” and the stürm und drang that is out there on these topics, purveyed by various interests serving various agendas. A great deal of what is out there on these topics is disinformation, and I take all “insider” revelations with a grain of salt. Insiders such as Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm) I have great respect for. So-called insiders with completely undocumented claims, telling us what the spooks are up to, I have considerable skepticism about. Many of them are either just freelancers making it up, are being unwittingly fed disinformation, or they do it as part of their “jobs.” If they are purveying genuine information, it is because they are allowed to, and the motivation of those allowing them to is certainly subject to questioning. I don’t trust any of them, especially those who claim to be fed inside information from the spooks.

My fellow travelers did not find out these things because we were rabid or titillated conspiracists, covert operatives, or “insiders,” but because we pursued the independent development of free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit) and related technologies, put on a UFO conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) while exploring the fringes, developed a free energy prototype in the basement of a nuclear facility (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&highlight=comings#post811647), etc. We didn’t seek out the Rockefellers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888), Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1167&viewfull=1#post1167), CIA (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), and the spooks (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/115-The-Spooks?p=1257&viewfull=1#post1257): they sought us out, and we barely survived those experiences. You play on that stage (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584), and you will get attention. I have assumed that I have been under surveillance since the 1980s, and anybody who thinks that they can anonymously interact with me is deluded. They won’t be anonymous from the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc).

You can go watch UFOs fly over (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm) without risking your life, but I don’t recommend descending very far into the spook realm, poking around (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1264365&viewfull=1#post1264365), as you can get in way over your head. I consider most of the UFO milieu to be tabloid fodder, and as Mitchell said (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page3?p=416&viewfull=1#post416), a lot of that circus is intentional, to suck in the credulous, the tabloid crowd, and the like, so that the waters get so muddy that sane people avoid the entire issue. The JFK assassination milieu (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/104-The-JFK-Assassination?p=1076&viewfull=1#post1076) is similar, as is the 9/11 issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11). If 9/11 was somehow part of an inside job, the conspiracist milieu has done most of the cover-up job for them, with their wild speculations, slipshod handling of the evidence, infighting, etc.

This is very small potatoes. But I am impressed by one of the candidates in the current political circus.

I finished Utopia for Realists which is a book about why basic income is good. (I agree but not worth reading)
Moving on. "Why Nations Fail" is a tome which I read partly because of a blurb from Ian Morris.
It is a good summary of why human institutions matter and the role that they played in human history. It has its biases, USA is right etc.... still I world rate it only a little less than books by Ian Morris.
Wade you may want to thumb through the book.

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1300199&viewfull=1#post1300199):

On retail politics, the only one I heard that made my ears perk up is Gabbard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsi_Gabbard#2020_presidential_campaign). We’ll see if I ever vote again. I haven’t since Nader ran in 2000 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#nader). The retail political system is just for show. The real political power is not there (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186).

The funny thing about Why Nations Fail is that I think I might have it. But frankly, I have too many books on failures and collapses (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#collapse). Just this evening, I was reading (https://mises.org/wire/how-destroy-civilization) about the 100th attempt that I have seen to explain Rome’s fall (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#antonine). I was drawing the dynamics of Rome’s fall on a whiteboard to a colleague earlier this week.

I have been hearing since I was teenager that institutions are the bedrock of civilization. But, as with demographic transitions and other aspects of civilizations, those are only secondary and tertiary aspects. In my essay update, I am going to generalize more than I have in the past on energy and organisms, from bacteria to empires. They all need energy to form and run, and when it runs low (each organism/economy has its ideal energy level), they lose their resilience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#resilience) and become vulnerable to disruptive shocks, and then it can be a swift decline to Game Over, whether it is life forms, ecosystems (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctions), or civilizations. Institutions are ways to concentrate skills, information, knowledge, and apply them. It is a level of organization only made possible by the energy surplus of civilization, and industrial far more than agrarian, obviously.

Best,

Wade

which is why i am not mentioning the person. intelligent thoughtful people who care always interest me. Just like Sen and Dreze have my respect even though their important work is small potatoes in the bigger picture.

The book totally fails by not talking about energy or even ecosystems. *sigh*
Even so it is a good explanation of the trajectories of peoples around the world for the last 500 years. It further confirms (for me) the idea that "discovery" of Americas, Slavery, Triangular trade played a critical/crucial role as prerequisites to the industrial revolution. Which is why I found it worth my time. It is the work of a (biased) scholar and not just a political hack, hence my comparisons to Ian Morris

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1300211&viewfull=1#post1300211):

I’ll try to poke my nose into Why Nations Fail. A prominent hypothesis for the formation of civilizations was that power-hungry proto-elites are why they formed, enslaving people to work the “grain cores,” which was the energy source that allowed civilizations to appear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1). Let’s hear it for elites and evil! :) Myopic analyses that focused on triangular trade almost always failed to understand that without the greatest energy technology in the human journey to that time – the ocean-going sailing ship (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2) – that so-called “trade” was not possible. So, that “stimulus” was secondary, at best, in explaining Europe’s rise and the ramp to the Industrial Revolution. Just like agriculture was a necessary “precondition” to the rise of civilization, the novel energy technologies (watermill (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill1), ocean-going sailing ship, and, most importantly, the exploitation of coal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse)) were a necessary precondition for industrialization. Other civilizations, and China most particularly (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#china2), had some or all of those technologies, too, but they did not industrialize first, and England’s industrialization influenced all that came afterward. There was only one pristine instance of industrialization and its related demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), and other aspects of Fourth Epoch societies. If we want to explain why England industrialized before China did, I suppose that triangular trade could be invoked, but it is kind of weak, IMO, a secondary or tertiary issue. There are some pretty big weaknesses in Ian Morris’s analyses. I’ll address them one day, and maybe a little in my big essay revision.

There are many, many works of scholarship that focus on institutions, social movements, and other dynamics, to the exclusion of energy and technology, as they are just kind of assumed if they are even acknowledged. That is very typical. Even the radical left does it. It is all an exchange game to them. Reshuffling the deck of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics) is not the answer. Some could theoretically defend their analyses by stating that they are assuming the means of production to analyze social dynamics and other factors (but those dynamics are effects of those means, not causes; Marx (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#marx1) at least got that right). Well, they are welcome to perform such analyses, but such analyses will always fall short of being comprehensive, as they only focus on facets, and more on effects than causes. Focusing on facets is OK, but then their explanations are only appropriate in describing the facets, not the complete situation, and when they think that attacking a symptom (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket) cures the disease, they are knocking on the wrong doors (AKA “hacking at branches”).

If people want to understand the big picture, then the energy issue has to form the foundation of it, and its role in all facets needs to be understood. This is the great failing of mainstream economics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), as it focuses on exchange and the resulting social dynamics, and regards energy as a mere resource whose availability is only limited by market forces. It is an extremely myopic perspective that does not explain anything of importance.

The rising energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) of the human journey explains all of its most important features, including our big brains (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain). :) Without the energy increase, the rest could not have happened. At least Ian Morris kind of understands that one. That is why I state that without free energy, the Fifth Epoch can’t happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). Without energy abundance, there is no abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance).

Thanks on the crocs. There were also carnivorous kangaroos (https://www.sbs.com.au/topics/science/nature/article/2016/06/10/carnivorous-kangaroo-and-4-other-animals-were-almost-glad-are-fossils), as animals adapted to what was available to eat.

IMO, when free energy arrives, these aspects of human societies will become obsolete, as they become meaningless, dysfunctional, and even insane, in a world of abundance:


All poverty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive);
Violence and warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping);
Money and exchange professions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange);
Cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities) as we know them, and nations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations);
All environmental harm (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate);
Elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear).


Economic ideologies such as capitalism (and all of today’s dominant ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant)) will vanish, along with nearly every other aspect of our “advanced” Fourth Epoch societies. They won’t be meaningful anymore, and will really be seen as ornate justifications for elite rule. Human thought in the Fifth Epoch won’t really be recognizable to today’s humans. The Fifth Epoch’s science, religion, politics, and economics won’t be recognizable to people today, except in a vague way. The nuclear family (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#family) will likely largely disappear. Even writing may disappear, as it is replaced with methods that are vastly more effective. Children in this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) learn a hundred times as fast as children do today, and they don’t do it through reading. I am quite aware of the limited medium that I am working in. That is why I give people homework to do (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/125-The-Journey-from-Unawareness-to-Knowledge?p=1574&viewfull=1#post1574), which is not reading-related.

I’ll make more posts soon on my process of awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-Awakening). A pal recently remarked on Mark’s (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&highlight=comings#post811647) and my adventures, and how hard they were to comprehend. My reply was that our youth allowed us to survive them, and they woke us up. Without those adventures, we would be naïve cogs in the machine, but our adventures were like Walter Mitty’s, compared to Dennis’s odyssey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574). I was there for the darkest chapters of his journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and I can barely imagine what he lived through. I can’t overemphasize the learning that comes from experience, which all of the book-learning in the world can never accomplish. Without my adventures, I doubt that I would have had much worth saying. Nobody is going to wake up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) through my writings. My writings can only assist a process that already began.

Best,

Hi:

Here is more on my awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765). I don’t know when my parents knew that they had something extraordinary on their hands, but I was raised with privileges and opportunities that I can only be thankful for. I was likely recognized as a “high achiever” in kindergarten, and reading came effortlessly to me. My father was recruited by NASA to work in Mission Control (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), so we moved to Houston when I was eight. I remember beginning to read full-sized books that year, and went to a science class at a museum on Saturdays, and brought in fossils I had collected for my teacher to examine.

I didn’t “get” fiction until my father gave me The Hobbit to read when I turned 14, so those early reading years were science, history, and the encyclopedia that my family bought when I was about nine, when I won my grammar school’s first spelling bee and began reading the local newspaper each day (the same one that my mother eventually worked for, which libeled us (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492) during my days with Dennis, as did the LA Times (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707)). That grammar school was named after a genocidist who became a saint (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra). I was picked for the first of the “gifted” programs in third grade, which continued until high school. The original Star Trek series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series) debuted when we lived in Houston, and my parents allowed me to stay up until 9:00 to watch it, as our family had kind of a professional interest in it. By day, I watched the Gemini missions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Gemini) that my father worked on, and by night, I watched Star Trek. In my home DVD library are the Next Generation and Deep Space Nine series, which my wife and I watch frequently. Just in the last few years, we watched Deep Space Nine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Deep_Space_Nine) and Voyager (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Voyager), from beginning to end (and far from the first time). To this day, one of my life’s happiest experiences is standing on the TNG bridge as my wife sat in the captain’s chair, attached.

I also began going to Sunday school in third grade. Not a lot, but some, and I sporadically attended Sunday school through seventh grade. It was not a heavy indoctrination, which I have to thank my parents for.

Up until age 12, although I was in gifted programs and the like, I was raised like any other kid on my block in those baby boomer days (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), and was less privileged than most of them. One day in June 1970, as I was eating my corn flakes, my mother walked into the kitchen and told me that those corn flakes were bad for me. My family went “health nut” that year, and as I look back, that was the beginning of my awakening. My father was suffering from artery disease (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), Western medicine said that nothing could be done for it, other than taking some drugs, and he obtained the booklet that saved his life. That booklet was banned in the USA in the next decade (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#banned), but I did not learn about that until after my first stint with Dennis was over and I began to hit the books (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739).

Along with Star Trek, I watched Gilligan’s Island (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilligan%27s_Island) and Kung Fu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_(TV_series)), and watched my 20-30 hours per week until my first semester of college, when I had to give it up if I wanted to keep getting straight A’s. After a month of no TV (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102), I never went back, and I have to credit that with helping along my eventual awakening. There is no more pervasive mind-control technology on Earth than television.

My high school and college years were happy ones, kind of the calm before the storm, and my biggest year of awakening, other than 1988 (the year of my radicalization (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr)), was 1974, when I turned 16. I believe that I visited Owen Dykema (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653) the first time when I was 15, and I don’t recall as a teenager reading that newspaper article (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#article) that came to my attention several years ago, but my energy dreams began that year, which was also the year that my parents sent me to Europe for two months (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#europe), and my cultural eyes were first opened. But that year ended with what may have been the critical event for what came later, when I had my mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva). Five years later, Brian O had his mystical awakening when performing the same exercise in which I got mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote). Many scientific careers were ruined by awakenings like ours (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mystical), but it would be another three years before mine ended, in a series of preposterous events (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) that I can now tell that my “friends (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3)” arranged for me.

In 1975, I was influenced by the work of a holistic health guru and began a fasting regimen, which I still follow when I can, and many years later, I helped expose (http://ahealedplanet.net/bragg.htm) that health guru’s fraudulent “life extension” credentials. In the late 1960s, Mr. Mentor invented a bomb (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#justify3) that destroyed weapons but did not hurt people, which the Pentagon immediately suppressed in favor of developing neutron bombs, which was Mr. Mentor’s idea inverted, as it killed all of the people but left the weapons intact. I became aware of that bomb and its fate in my late-teenage years.

So, those early years were a combination of conditioning and awakening. I did not think that I was going through some kind of struggle, but I now realize that I was, as the cognitive dissonance (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive) gradually grew. Some was just the normal part of growing up, but I can see that a lot was to prepare me for my journey. In those early adult years, I lived with a relative who was a contract CIA agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), who nearly tried to recruit me into the “business.”

After that voice suggested that I study business (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), I fully brought my zeal for learning to bear on the subject, and underwent my capitalist indoctrination. I began questioning it upon graduation (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing), and put my racist upbringing (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism) behind me a few years before that, as well as the idea that I would not quite be a man until I had been a soldier (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). A couple of years into my career, I subscribed to Christian Science Monitor (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), thinking that I was getting something a little more thoughtful than the LA Times that I read every morning before going to work.

I was assigned to one of the highest profile audits in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting) during the early years of my career, and saw the Savings and Loan Scandal (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#savings) before it became a scandal. My favorite partner’s moment of candor set those wheels of cognitive dissonance spinning, which I did not finally understand (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#silverado) until the month that I truly woke up. My day on the witness (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681) stand was the turning point of my life, but I get ahead of myself.

When I felt backed into a corner again, more than eight years since I asked for guidance and that voice spoke up, I asked again and was “rewarded (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2)” again, and less than two weeks later, I was interviewing at Dennis’s company. As I write this, even I wonder if it all happened like it did. But it did, and far more.

Meeting Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601) was really the beginning of my education. Everything that happened before it was mere preparation. I have written a great deal about my days with Dennis (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=197&viewfull=1#post197)), and don’t need to belabor them. But the general experience was a daily grind of trying to survive as we repeatedly launched our disruptive technology efforts, punctuated by salient moments (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why) that were part of my progressive awakening. By the time that I met Gary Wean (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#wean), I had long since been awakened, and the month before I met Gary was my life’s darkest month, in which I had the lowest moments of my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it).

Then I sacrificed my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage) and the miracle happened, which marked the end of my first stint with Dennis. I began to hit the books (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) just before Mr. Professor and I sprung Dennis from jail, and the next year, while driving to my job in LA, at another company that was attacked (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience) by a media/government alliance, I heard of Uncle Ed’s efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) for the first time, and later that year, I began my alternative media education and my life’s second act (my third and likely final act began recently). Soon before leaving my home town for Ohio, to never return, I heard of Sparky Sweet (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#sweet), and the next year, I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet). My high adventures were over and my life took different paths, but I still underwent a process of awakening, which will likely not end until I take my last breath.

Best,

Wade

Hi Ulli (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1300566&viewfull=1#post1300566):

There is my morning laugh. The electric car hype is really something to see. I am not saying that they are completely worthless, but they sure aren’t Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) technology. Electric cars precede the Model T (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car#History). That is not exactly cutting edge stuff.

When I am asked about electric cars, my reply is that the danger is thinking that they are some kind of solution. Some friends that I am visiting today have a palatial home with huge solar panels that largely charge their electric car. That is surely an improvement over gasoline, but it is very marginal. Fossil fuels built their car and solar panels, the roads they run on, etc.

I have very mixed feelings about Tesla, Inc. On one hand, at least people hear about Tesla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tesla1) today, but his vision was not electric cars. In the Fifth Epoch, roads will become obsolete. The technologies for it are already here (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). A few of today’s electric cars will become museum pieces, along with almost all other “cutting edge” technology on the market today.

I read not long ago, can’t remember where it was, maybe on this thread, that the production of a wind turbine plus its platform cost more energy that it can produce in its lifetime. [
More absurdity.

Hi:

More on my awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765)…

When I moved to Ohio in 1990, I was wide awake. My life had been ruined by the events in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and I have never been back. Those events shortened Mr. Professor’s life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), and Dennis still nearly died in prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes) after being kangarooed there.

I would never see the world that same way again after my ordeal in Ventura, and my days of study began in earnest in Ohio, as I tried to make sense of what I had survived. I made the first of several attempts to stop drinking when I moved to Ohio, but it took ten years to finally succeed. With most endeavors, the early learning curve is the steepest, and you then get “diminishing returns.” The first two years of my past 30 years of study were my most memorable, and when I did most of my important book-learning on the topics that I write about. It took me a year to find permanent work, at that trucking company (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=272&viewfull=1#post272). What a gritty way to make a living that was.

Between 1990 and 1992, my early days of study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=734&viewfull=1#post734) included:


The media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big);
Alternative medicine; beginning with Naessens’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens) and Rife’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife) and Medical Dark Ages (I met Ralph Hovnanian (http://ahealedplanet.net/mdaq.htm#introduction) in 1991).
Thermodynamics (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#industrial) and Mr. Mentor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) and Fischer’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer) patents;
The history (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more) I was not taught in school;
Organized skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends);
Fringe topics such as the Moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#neutral) and what might have been covered up;
The JFK assassination (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean) and conspiracist literature;
The UFO issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big);
A lot of general science, such as the Michelson-Morley experiment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson%E2%80%93Morley_experiment).


I also ramped up my mystical studies considerably. In my California days, I attended at least 50 channeling sessions (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth), built the foundation of my mystical library, and little that I added to it since then was very revelatory for me. Seth (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth), Michael (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael), and Ra (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#ra) are still the ones to be reckoned with.

I also joined a new science organization in 1990, which is how I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), joined the mystical community in Dayton, and every time that I walked into the local mystical book stores, the clerks’ mouths watered. I rarely left the stores without a few new books in hand. In Medical Dark Ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/mdaq.htm), I learned that the booklet that saved my father’s life (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons) was banned (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#banned) in the USA. I began hobnobbing with others in the free energy field in those days. Dennis was not really very famous yet, in those pre-Internet days. He did hundreds of radio talk shows, which two close relatives heard and told me about. Dennis flew me to a conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#steal) in early 1992, as he tried the Madison Avenue approach. I really was not that interested, and it took years for me to finally realize why Dennis’s approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), as heroic (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany) and benevolently intended as they were, did not have a chance of making a dent. He was kangarooed into prison later that year and barely survived the experience, as the prison officials repeatedly tried to get him murdered by the inmates (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), and they nearly succeeded.

It was in those early days of study and palling around with free energy revolutionaries that my close friend was kidnapped (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173) for his underground exotic technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Several years later, I saw some of Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) describing what my friend saw, which gave Greer’s effort credibility with me. I have watched Greer’s free energy efforts go from inept and naïve to a little worldlier in later years, but I doubt that his populist approach is going to make much of a dent, although I would love to be wrong.

By the time that I signed on with Dennis again (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), after he worked on me for the better part of a decade, I had several years of study under my belt and largely had my current perspective, although it took many years of groping to achieve my comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) and Epochal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) perspective. It has been a lifetime in coming.

When my short stint with Dennis ended in early 1997, when I was permanently cured of any ideas that the businessman’s route to free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=710&viewfull=1#post710) had a prayer, or that inventors had the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=709&viewfull=1#post709), I began the study and writing that became my site as it largely stands today. When I finally finished it in 2002 (when the dark phase of my midlife crisis began, with Mr. Professor’s death (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey)), I began the next phase of my studies, beginning with Bucky Fuller (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) and the Peak Oilers (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm) in early 2003. A few months later, Brian invited me to help him found the New Energy Movement (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), and Mallove’s murder sent Brian scurrying to South America (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland), where he spent the rest of his life, and I did not blame him (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). My agonizing midlife crisis lasted until Dennis invited me to the White House (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife) in 2006.

When I think back to those early days of study, it is not easy to rank one subject over the others, but I would say that encountering the work of Uncle Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) and company was the biggest early impact on my radicalized worldview. Reading Ralph McGehee’s memoirs was a memorable experience and impactful, and my initial synopsis (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#synopsis) brought Ralph into my life. He was perhaps the first fellow traveler (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) that I encountered after my first stint with Dennis, who woke up the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), after years of cognitive dissonance (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive). I read Lies of Our Times (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot) every month, and I eagerly began digesting Noam’s work. I was an avid and awake student, but it still took about two years for me to really understand what Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky) was saying.

I subscribed to all manner of alternative periodical (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#covert) in those days. As fate would have it, I worked in Columbus in 1992, which was the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s feat. While reading Uncle Howard’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm) masterpiece in those days, I got the first inkling that the story of Columbus that I was taught (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#introduction) might have been missing some important features. :) But David Stannard’s American Holocaust was my big wake-up call on what Europe’s “settling” of the Western Hemisphere was really like. It is the greatest genocide in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide). In American Holocaust, published in 1992, to coincide with the celebration of Columbus’s mighty feat, I read for the first time an alternative story of that pious padre, whom my grammar school was named after (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra). Like so much of that “alternative” information, it was no “conspiracy theory,” but just a look at the evidence, without all of the cheerleading.

In the autumn of 1992, the documentary on Noam’s life came out (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent_(film)), and I watched it with my wife at Ohio State University (it has never aired on mainstream network TV in the USA), and in about December 1992, as I recall, I was driven from my sleep to write a 17-page letter to Noam. I surprisingly heard back from him a couple of weeks later, he was “tantalized” by my information on the free energy issue, and we began a brief correspondence before he politely brushed me off. I did not blame him, as my journey had been as strange as they come and Noam has mind-boggling demands on his time.

I look at that letter to Noam as the end of my first phase of post-Dennis study, and my most important years of study. Even all of the study that I have done since 2007, with the specific intention of writing what became my big essay, was not very revelatory compared to those early days of study, but without my radicalizing years with Dennis, I would not have embarked on those years of study, and would have been too naïve to really digest it. I doubt that I would have embarked on the path in the first place, without the awakening experience that came from my days with Dennis. It was the kind of education that you can’t buy, which I have to thank my “friends (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3)” for.

As I have stated, my life’s first 30 years comprised the first act, which ended with my brutal awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and the next 30 years was the second act, which was about married life, resuming my career, and study and writing (with a little more activism thrown in there (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting)), but it only served to remind me that the mass movement path (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) will not work for this Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)). We’ll see what my life’s final act looks like, and if I will be able to make a dent. I hope to have another 30 good years in me, going out like Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death) and Howard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Zinn#Death) did, active until the end. Noam is still going strong at 90, and Dennis won’t quit until he drops.

There is more to write on my awakening process, but by 1992, I had already done most of the work, and the rest was the small stuff.

Best,

Wade

Hi Ulli (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1300593&viewfull=1#post1300593):

It did not come from me, but that is no surprise. In his life’s last years, Brian sought a research assistant, specifically for crunching the numbers on traditional alternatives (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall), to show how they were too little and too late. I regularly read breathless pronouncements on progress on solar energy, and how it will be able to directly compete with fossil fuels soon. Whatever those technologies might achieve, it is a flea compared to an elephant, when the extant but sequestered technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) are considered. We aren’t getting to the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) via windmills and photovoltaic energy.

Hi:

One of the most challenging parts of awakening is that when you do awaken, you slowly realize that virtually everybody around you is fast asleep, captured by their in-group conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). It is one of the loneliest feelings in the world. My first stint with Dennis drove home my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) in no uncertain terms. It was a lesson that I resisted every step of the way. It was a lesson that virtually nobody wants to learn, and about the only way that people ever learn it is to play on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584) for a while, if they can survive the experience.

When the dust finally cleared in Ventura, I realized that the general public was in no way fit to get involved with an effort like ours. Dennis’s belief in The People was thoroughly exposed (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=618&viewfull=1#post618) during my first stint with him. In my second stint (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), Dennis admitted that almost nobody really cared, but that he was sifting through humanity’s mine tailings (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings), seeking overlooked nuggets. The last time that I saw him, he said that his allies hurt him more than his enemies did (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#allies), and that Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), his wife, and I were the only people who got deeply involved who walked away with their integrity intact. God bless Dennis’s dogged faith in humanity, but it was a misplaced faith. I was guilty of a similar stubborn delusion, but it was relatively modest. When I began to study the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), the history that I was not taught in school (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), and other subjects, I still had a naïve idea that some of those around me might be interested, and probably the first instance was that childhood friend of mine who was my staunchest supporter during those Ventura days (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=823&viewfull=1#post823). He had a front-row seat to what happened, and I sent him Unreliable Sources in 1991 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=824&viewfull=1#post824). He had a tendency to parrot the evening news to me, and I thought that Unreliable Sources would help wake him up to how the media operated. I am not sure if he even read it, but we had a brief conversation after I sent him the book, and he made a grudging admission that the media was not up to scratch. However, the next time we talked, he parroted the TV news.

My increasingly radical worldview was at odds with his TV view of reality, and our relationship began going downhill from there, and he eventually committed criminal acts against me. I did my homework on those subjects of study. I actively sought criticisms of Noam and Ed’s work. Their Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) is a quite a charge to make about the media’s performance. Noam and Ed did not mince words. Their work was very straightforward. I never saw a valid criticism of their Propaganda Model, as far as attempts to invalidate it went. There were revisions (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#subsequent) and plenty of academic focus (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#academic) on it, but nothing that came close to invalidating it. Most of the criticisms of Noam and Ed’s work related to their exposures of “nefarious” bloodbaths, and I never saw a valid one (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms). Instead, it was Big Lies and exercises in irrationality, and most of it came from so-called academics.

I learned similar lessons when I began publishing my writings. I knew that the mainstream was a lost cause, so I tried various alternative venues and forums, and I sometimes found somebody home. Most of my cyberpals today I encountered that way. They were usually pretty hip people, who came to my work via my CIA (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), medical (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm), media, historical, and related topics. But when they tried to turn their “hip” friends onto my work, the reactions could be insane, and even included death threats. I watched them melt down after reading this section (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress) of my site, going into irrational tirades and then campaigning against me, in those very same “hip” circles. I watched long-standing friendships end. By about 20 years ago, I had seen enough of that to begin cautioning my “hip” pals about telling anybody else about the “good news” of my work.

It took me a while to get it, and to this day, I get taught lessons on how my work is received. I was chased out of a forum that I was invited into (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=639&viewfull=1#post639), by an admin, no less, and just last year had another instance of a “hip” forum, in which I was attacked by a troll, and then the admin piled on and erased my thread (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=385252). That was soon after Wikipedia erased my work on Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm). Almost all of my forum work has been attacked by trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) and/or erased by the admins. My own forum (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forum.php) and Avalon (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=91260&viewfull=1#post91260) are among the few exceptions.

Those receptions by academics and the “hip” comprised an important part of my awakening process. Almost nobody on Earth is home, and they rarely see past their immediate self-interest. That is one of the most critical lessons of anybody’s awakening process.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I don’t know anybody who really awoke (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) who wished that they kept sleeping (like that traitor in The Matrix did). My fellow travelers all awoke how I did: the hard way. When I encountered their work or we traded notes, the details were all a bit different, but the process could easily be generalized, and it goes something like this:


We grew up drinking the Kool-Aid (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) of our indoctrination and conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant);
We were true believers, not rebels;
We wanted to make the world a better place to live in, and we all began our journeys naively (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive);
As we pursued our efforts, we either woke up to the fact that our efforts were not helping, or we pursued activities that woke the immune systems of the various rackets (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets), and then there was hell to pay;
The youngest of us had our youth to thank for surviving those experiences; the older among us not only had their lives ruined, but could have them shortened;
Once we awoke, we realized the folly of our previous efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), and changed strategies and tactics;
We did not give up, but kept at it until the ends of our lives.


I don’t know that I would call Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) fellow travelers. They seemed to be awake as children, and growing up Jewish in the Great Depression and the Age of Hitler might have had something to do with that. There was little Kool-Aid for them to drink. Uncle Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm) was more like my fellow travelers, another Jew who joined the military to fight Hitler, but it was not until after the war that he realized the evil that he participated in, as he bombed the very people that he tried to save (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#czech). Those men were from an older generation and were way ahead of us in ways, even though they were not free energy revolutionaries.

My fellow travelers generally came of age during the postwar boom (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), when the Kool-Aid was plentiful. Ralph was a dedicated Cold Warrior (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#synopsis), doing his duty to end the scourge of communism. It took him 16 years to finally realize that he was not one of the good guys, and he nearly did not survive the experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon). Dennis was in Vietnam when Ralph was, and killed many people (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=778&viewfull=1#post778), but he did not wake up to the lies of his nationalist indoctrination until his moment in a bank lobby (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice), and he barely survived his moment of awakening. Dennis got his mystical awakening at the same time (it actually saved his life), for a “bonus.”

Like me (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown), Mark (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), and other fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mystical), Brian’s mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote) preceded his general awakening, and was partly responsible for his general awakening (although you could say that his awakening began during his astronaut days (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nasa)). When I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), he was just getting his feet wet in the free energy milieu. The next year, he hosted a UFO conference and nearly lost his life at the hands of the military, in an event that shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847). Brian then traveled the world, visiting free energy labs and scientists, and published his first free energy book (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#miracle) just as Dennis began barnstorming the USA. While Dennis barnstormed the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=803&viewfull=1#post803), Brian began his ride as the Paul Revere of Free Energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere). While I was Brian’s biggest fan, and knew that he had access to the tops of the world’s academic, scientific, and “progressive” institutions, I did not have much faith that Brian would awaken the sleepy heads on his ride, although I was interested to hear how it turned out. Five years later, during our epic note-trading session (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sacramento), I saw an awakened Brian, sobered by his journey. The reactions that he received (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), from the tops of those organizations, were so uniformly crazed that Brian began openly wondering if humanity was really a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). The sleeping won’t awaken via talk (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). Each of them has to awaken through experience, not talk.

I doubt that I have written about it before, but in early 1997, Mr. Professor came to our operation in New Jersey (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting) for a couple of weeks, and he stayed with me. What a blessed time that was. I don’t know why he chose that book from my library, but the entire time that he was there, he spent his free time reading Howard’s A People’s History of the United States. Near the end of his visit, he said that I should teach a class with work like that, to awaken the students. That came from the best teacher that I ever had. He had been awakened himself by the events in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), which shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), and he eventually realized that students were only drinking Kool-Aid in school, not waking up. You might say that my public writings are that class.

Also, the political stripe that we came from did not seem to matter much. Brian came from the left, and Gary came from the right (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1399&viewfull=1#post1399). Dennis had no use for retail politics, and his agrarian background (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574) saw him align with right-wing movements, such as the Patriot Movement (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel). In his life’s last years, Brian told me that electoral politics was a dead-end, and he would have known (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall).

I’ll say this: right-wing politics is generally self-serving (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), while left-wing is generally other serving. The left is generally further along (http://ahealedplanet.net/opinions.htm#left) in their souls’ evolution than the right is (http://ahealedplanet.net/opinions.htm#two). No age is any better than any other, but only older souls are going to get us over the hump (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). Older souls probably wake up easier than younger souls do, having been around the block a few more times.

Best,

Wade

Left wing politics starts out on the premise of collective oneness, but exactly because of that it is so much more vulnerable to being hijacked by self serving psychopaths.

Meanwhile rightwing politics allows individuals to roam freely, but that in turn creates out of control bodies that can prey on weaker individuals.

Personally I believe the rightwing path cannot go quite as far extreme as the left as power is still fragmented, and not as centralized, although both have elitists rise to the top.

The ideal is a middle path, that contains the best of both ideologies.
Regular secret ballot elections, people chosing the most gifted and spiritual members from their midst, electing a board of goverrnors, who in turn elect committees to execute their decisions. Term limits.
But for now the party-political choice is still the only option, evne though more and more people can see that tis system is clearly not working well.
Only a mystical experience can lift one out of that either-or choice. Lets hope that millions more people have such an awakening, and soon.

Hi Ulli (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1300984&viewfull=1#post1300984):

Yes indeed, the right and left have their weaknesses, and the greatest of all is thinking like victims (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), which is hard to shake, in our world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). In my experience, it can only be done through love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest).

A key lesson that my fellow travelers learned was that electoral politics, particularly in the USA, is worthless. Brian advised several presidential candidates (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall), and in his last book, he wrote a chapter on his “codependent (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early)” relationship with Washington, D.C. In his last year of life or so, Brian admitted to me that electoral politics is a dead-end, just for show.

My own adventures, and those of my fellow travelers, showed me how far down the food chain of power on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) American presidents are. The energy advisor of the sitting American president was one of Dennis’s fans (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872) (he was the guy who tried to arrange an eve-of-the-election demonstration (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife) of Dennis’s technologies), but that did not matter, once the Rockefellers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) and others got involved. The sitting American president is a puppet.

A few light bulbs went on when I read Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), and one of his most important ideas was that all politics has always been primarily concerned with who gets the benefit of the scarce resources (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics), and that politics will therefore be useless in resolving the scarcity issue.

It took me many years to finally realize that my work was too “radical” for the so-called radicals (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm), and I invented “epochal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable)” to describe my orientation. Left and right are mired in their efforts to reshuffle the deck of scarcity, and will be no help for this Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), I am sorry to say. I couldn’t even wake up Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) on the free energy issue. The various political stripes are all dead-ends. That is why my work is about developing a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). Only then will people be able to see the forest from the trees and go for the root instead of hack at branches, which all retail politics is doing.

Best,

Wade

I'm largely in agreement in terms of the leftwing standpoint. There are many who I thought that, even if not ready for discussing free energy, were at least a bit more aware. Sadly, I have now been disabused of that notion, as since the 2016 election fiasco, those I held in moderate esteem in my outer social circles now parrot generic leftwing media articles and memes just as much as everyone else (but they still see themselves as unique snowflakes, since they have slightly more tattoos and mental illnesses than other millennials).

In terms of the rightwing being more individualistic, in America that applies to an extent if you're talking about libertarianism, but I wouldn't say the same for other countries.

The real beauty of free energy is that when fully implemented, it would break the grip of centralized control systems. Humanity might still organize on collective levels, but with scarcity gone psychopaths and narcissists wouldn't have as much leverage for exerting control. Our collective IQ would rise, allowing for new levels of social organization beyond Dunbars number. The real conundrum though is the fact we need large industrial scale organization to initially mass produce said technology, without letting it fall prey to all the normal pitfalls others have tried.

Hi:

Chris (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1301035&viewfull=1#post1301035) posts here about once a year, and when he does, they are good ones. I recently wrote about how Jim Hightower sees it (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1752&viewfull=1#post1752): top and bottom, not left and right. There are many ways to slice that political-economic pie. For me, the pertinent issue is whether it is self-serving or other serving (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving). That is what matters, and the rest is noise. As Chris wrote, in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), psychopaths (AKA dark pathers) and megalomaniacs have their heydays, but in a work of abundance and love, it is Game Over (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear). They would no longer rule the roost like they do today, and they know it, which is why free energy has been suppressed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) and sequestered like it has.

Oh yes, people’s seeming sentience and hipness sure can vanish quickly, when challenges arise. Mimicry is a key primate behavior (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpculture2), and humans can make good parrots. :)

Yes indeed, in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), social organization would be radically different from what has prevailed so far in the human journey. Imagine children learning a hundred times faster than they do today (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748). Many aspects of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) are simply unimaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) today, and beautiful and wonderful are two adjectives that come to mind when pondering them. One of Krishna’s favorite subjects is brain plasticity. Those kids in the future Earth probably have IQs that would go off of our scales today. How much was genetic, and how much was their nurturing? It would be fun to find out, and it is likely some of each.

Yes, the effort to bring free energy to the public won’t happen in garages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#guerilla), but it really won’t be that extraordinary an effort. The choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) has to be committed to doing it the hard way, but the mere existence of the choir can help the goodies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) come in from the shadows. But without something like a choir, I don’t give any independent efforts these days a snowball’s chance, even if the rumors (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=1355&viewfull=1#post1355) are true.

Hi:

This month is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo). We were back in California by then, after my father’s NASA misadventure (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary). The family that we were closest to, whose father was a mathematician and my father’s colleague, and whose oldest son I still keep in touch with, came to our home for a Moon-landing party, as we watched it on TV with the rest of the world. The first video images from the lunar surface, as Armstrong made his way down the ladder, were upside-down for several seconds, before somebody at NASA fixed it. I was eleven at the time, and I did not yet know about Mr. Mentor’s bomb (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#funeral) that the Pentagon suppressed, or his engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), which he invented the year before.

At the time, I had no awareness of the genocide that my nation was inflicting on Southeast Asia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early), as I attended Junípero Serra Elementary School (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra) down the street, named after California’s first genocidist who became a saint (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#saint). Virtually everybody in the USA was also oblivious to the idea that the USA was about to hit Peak Oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), and that the USA’s standard of living would decline ever since then (http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2019/07/americas-concealed-crisis-fifty-years.html).

But those were days of innocence for me, growing up in idyllic Ventura. Twenty years later, my life would be wrecked (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr) in that very same town, as we pursued what I now know would be the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), which we were also somewhat oblivious to at the time. We knew that what we were pursuing was big, but we really had no idea how big. Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), however, did. Within a couple of months of my becoming Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614), efforts were initiated with the goal of neutralizing us (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), and it only escalated in Ventura, with a big offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) before the boom was finally lowered on us (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail). People such as Sparky Sweet (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1656&viewfull=1#post1656) looked on in horror, and the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707), “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel)” and talking heads in the free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel) field lie about those events to this day, while the hit men (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#promotion) and women (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#promotions) live lives of luxury, become noted “philanthropists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy),” etc., although the least rapacious of them finally got caught with her hand in the cookie jar (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy). A contract-agent provocateur (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=206&viewfull=1#post206) got what comes to many contract agents, although when I recently tracked him down, he lives today in an idyllic beach community in California, while another hit man lives in Florida, living the good life, still wreaking his mischief (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#biomed), but as a free-lancer.

The USA is a declining empire today, bogged down in imperial forays (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), securing resources, and energy resources in particular (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), as usual. Tomorrow, my great nation celebrates its independence, with simulated bombs going off across the continent. What a time to be alive.

Hi:

I just looked up that mathematician friend of the family that I just wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1776&viewfull=1#post1776). He died a couple of weeks ago, at age 87. He had a good run. He was the person who warned me about the police on the East Coast (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=629&viewfull=1#post629) during my days in Boston. My parents’ generation is mostly gone now.

Hi:

As I begin working on my big essay revision, here is a little on one bias that I have to continually deal with in my studies: white male scientist/scholar bias. It can be blatant, it can be subtle, but I run into it all the time, and I always have to take it into account when doing my studies. Noam, Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), and Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm) were inspiring exceptions to that rule (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#racism). I was raised in a racist and bigoted household (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765), in history’s most racist nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism1), and that damaged me in ways that I will always be getting over.

Noam has written that British scholars in particular have a hard time overcoming their racist/imperial conditioning, even the best of them. European imperialism was actually responsible for racism as we know it. For the first time in the human journey, people regularly got on ships (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2) and soon disembarked in alien cultures, whose residents had skin color that was markedly different from pale European skin. So, the past five hundred years of European imperialism is deeply intertwined with racism and bigotry, generally as a way to justify imperial conquest and rule. I have called attention to it (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#racism) for many years. If you ask those scholars and scientists who demonstrate that bias about it, they would likely have no idea what you were talking about, and would vigorously deny it.

What I see a lot of are scholars who migrate to the USA, and they could have been victims of American imperialism themselves, as Sophal Ear (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ear) was, or they were part of the imperial “commonwealth,” like Steven Pinker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Pinker) and Ian Morris (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Morris_(historian)) were, and their work always takes it easy on the West, particularly the USA. Their bias can be so extreme that it makes their work into a kind of parody of scholarship. I am not even talking about far right immigrant scholars such as Dinesh D’Souza (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinesh_D%27Souza), whose work is right at home on Fox News, but scholars who seem to aspire to a higher standard.

Pinker’s political writings are imperial tripe (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker), not worthy of being taken seriously. Ian Morris’s work is better in ways, but I have four of his books, and many times while reading them I saw his white male scientist/scholar bias. Sometimes it was blatant, such as lauding Pinker’s imperial valentine, and in other ways it was rather disguised in seemingly impartial scholarship, but if you were familiar with the subject, the bias could leap from the pages and hit you over the head. I’ll give some examples of it in coming posts. Morris’s biases could be so great that at times I wondered if I should use his work at all. I likely will refer to use it to some degree, but carefully, and with plenty of caveats.

Best,

Wade

When one sets one’s goal to become colorblind the universe responds via destiny tricks. In my case I was living for three incredibly intense three weeks with a Chinese family in Hongkong, never once seeing a white person, and later years in the West Indies, where I was immersed in black culture, or what was left of it after being torn out by the root, due to the collective slavery experience of their ancestors.
At the time Apartheid was still raging in South Africa, and my more intellectually oriented black friends were identifying with the struggle of black South Africans and calling for a return to African roots. And my response to that was that if I who was born and raised in Germany were to try and return to my German roots the first thing I would encounter would be Hitlers Nazism. So instead my orientation was more directed towards a common future of all humans.
The only way to get rid of racism is to immerse onself in other cultures and dialogue until the insights that all can agree on are beheld.
Legislation like busing children or introducing corporate quota of employing a % spectrum of races cannot work, as there is government force behind it. It might even have conterproductive results. The only way integration works is to invite people into one’s home and exchange life stories and cookie recipes.

Thanks Ulli (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1301494&viewfull=1#post1301494):

Big subject. When I wrote my list of scarcity-based ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), I didn’t even mention racism, sexism, imperialism, ethnic bigotry, etc., as they were so obvious and grotesque. As long as scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) comprise the background hum of human societies, people will always develop in-group ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) that raise the in-group at the expense of the out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). It is part of our heritage as social animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason). We are all behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap), and the innate differences between people, anywhere on Earth, are trivial. We have far more in common (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up) than differences.

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), which will necessarily be based on energy abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), as it will end scarcity, and fear will go with it, there won’t be any nations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), races, money (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange), warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), poverty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), religion as we know it, and cities as we know them will cease to exist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), as they all go into the dustbin of our heritage, just as slavery as an institution did (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas) when humanity industrialized. In the Fifth Epoch, there will be one race, one economy, one language, and the like, as geographical isolation ends and everybody lives in abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance). Social organization will look like nothing that we have ever seen. And today, when almost anybody even glimpses what I am writing about, they flee, shrieking, or go on the attack (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), as even the stupidest of them can sense that my work means the end of the world as we know it, and they all have their niches of hell carved out, and are dug in. Abundance and what comes with it scares them. Any change scares them.

No human on Earth can point to some kind of noble heritage. Sub-Saharan Africans can try to, as their ancestors did not conquer Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit), but a heritage of peace, plenty, and noble living can’t be claimed by any humans. You mentioned Hitler and your heritage. Well, Hitler was actually inspired by the USA, in several ways, from the Anglo-American experience of exterminating the natives and taking their lands (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hitler) to the anti-Semitism that Henry Ford taught him (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#ford) to the American race laws that became a model for the Third Reich’s. I am aware of my Frazier ancestry, going back to Scotland, when my ancestor migrated to Pennsylvania in the 1730s (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#familyname), and although Quakers, my ancestors essentially followed in the wake of the U.S. Army as the Indians were dispossessed, and I recall reading an ancestor of about 200 years ago writing about how “providence” had blessed him. Actually, what “blessed” him was being a member of a genocidal, land-grabbing (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint) imperial effort, although he thought of himself as a “settler,” whom providence had blessed with free land. My grandfather, born on a homestead (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas), eventually realized what an awesome crime had been committed, and if there is anything that I can look to my ancestors with “pride (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#pride)” about, it is a realization like that.

I’ll agree that getting to know people from other cultures can be good work, but the end-point of my work on that score is to realize that all humans are essentially the same. There are no innate differences worth mentioning. Evolution does not work that fast. :)

Wade

Hi:

In order to make my points on the biases of white male scholarship (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1778&viewfull=1#post1778), I need to develop a few ideas. None are new to my work, but I’ll write more about them in my essay update. The ideas are about:


Relative and absolute death tolls;
Apportioning responsibility for such death tolls;
The ideas of freedom and subjugation.


These are terrible subjects to deal with, and studying them in the 1990s is partly what made it difficult to stop drinking. I spent the summer of 1999 studying World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good) and the Jewish Holocaust (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward), and that was the final catalyst. Those days damaged my marriage, began my midlife crisis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife), and the next year, I finally succeeded in quitting drinking. I might not be here today if I hadn’t.

World War II killed up to 100 million people (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sitting). “Only” about six million of them were Jews. The Slavic peoples lost far more people, on the order of 20 million or so, and more of them were intentionally exterminated by the Nazis than Jews were. Gypsies were also subjected to the same exterminatory practices as Jews were, and lost about a million people. So, which death toll was worst? Proportionally, about two-thirds of Europe’s Jews were killed in World War II, and about half of Europe’s Gypsies, but the 20 million Slavic deaths was a far smaller proportion of them. In absolute and proportional numbers, Jews suffered more than Gypsies did, but Jewish Holocaust scholars have been guilty of playing up Jewish suffering to the forceful exclusion of Gypsies (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#gypsy).

The greatest proportional genocide in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide) almost certainly happened in the Americas, in the century that Spain, and to a lesser extent, Portugal (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#portugal), had the Americas to themselves. There is little debate on the native population of the Americas in 1650: it was between six and nine million (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#population). The debate centers on the population of the Americas in 1492. Was it “only” 30-40 million, or might it have been closer to 100 million? Denevan’s survey put it at slightly more than 50 million, but 80 million is a typical estimate today, some exceed 100 million, and I have seen as high as 140 million. So, did that holocaust claim 134 million lives and 96% (134/140) of the population, or “only” 70% (21/30) or so, for maybe “only” about 21 million deaths?

Spain conquered and plundered the primary population centers in the Western Hemisphere, in Mesoamerica (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mesoamerica) and along the Andes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#andean), which were the sites of two of the four pristine civilizations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1) in the human journey. The Spanish conquerors were all primarily concerned with getting rich, and the surviving natives were put to work in the mines and plantations of what we call Latin America today, and native life expectancy in the mines and plantations was about how long Jews would last at Farben’s rubber works at Auschwitz (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#potosi). The Germans fully intended to work Jews to death in the factories and mines, while the natives who died in the Spanish mines and plantations were merely casualties of the “unrestrained greed” of the Spaniards. The Spanish wanted to enslave the natives and use the women for concubines (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#harems), not exterminate them. The diseases that the Spanish brought with them are “credited” for most of the decline in native populations in that century of conquest and plunder. However, the starvation and overwork (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#trauma) likely led to susceptibility to disease, so that some scholars make Spanish labor practices approximately as deadly as the diseases were.

When the English finally invaded North America (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english), they also sought gold, but when they could not find any immediately plunderable gold, they came for the land. The English goal, unlike the Spanish goal, was to exterminate the natives and take their land. Some natives were “lucky” and were sold as slaves to plantations in the Caribbean (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#charleston), where they were quickly worked to death. While the Spanish lamented the native deaths, beginning with Columbus (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#work), as dead slaves can’t get any work done (and considered the natives human, if inferior), the English openly celebrated the genocide of the natives (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#mather), and marveled at how “providence (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1779&viewfull=1#post1779)” gave them all of that free land, with intact forests and intact soils, something far removed from the European experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#domesday), and they considered the natives subhuman “savages.” Disease did most of the native “clearance” work for the English (sometimes intentionally introduced (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#amherst)), but the English became experts at slaughtering entire villages of sleeping natives (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#underhill). The only reasons why the English-inflicted death toll in the Americas did not approach the Spanish one were that they were imperial late-comers and invaded less-populous lands.

But in the next century, the English conquered India (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#bengal), and during the next two centuries, the British were responsible for (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#asiandeaths) nearly two billion excess deaths in India, as they enslaved the subcontinent and turned it into one big plantation. They almost completely exterminated the natives of Tasmania (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#tasmania) at the same time, as a side-show to depopulating Australia in the process of “settling (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tasmania)” it with British “criminals,” as they could no longer dump them in North America after the American Revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers), which the USA celebrated yesterday with its military parades and simulated bombs (called fireworks).

So, what was worse, the initial violence that set the stage for genocidal exploitation, genocides that were mere side-effects of greed as the Spanish and Portuguese inflicted (and let’s leave aside their initiation of the Transatlantic slave trade (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#slavery) for now), or genocides that were intentionally inflicted under racial theories, from Mather to Hitler, in order to steal the land of the dead? The Anglo-American experience in North America was Hitler’s direct inspiration (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hitler) for his Lebensraum policies for Eastern Europe. Such genocidal activities continue to this day, with the genocides in Iraq and Afghanistan (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), courtesy of the USA, with our British little buddies carrying our bags for us, as we secure the oil for the capitalist West (which the pundits studiously ignore (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate)), so that Western oil companies can clean up with big profits.

So, what was worse, “only” 50 million deaths or so, which depopulated a hemisphere in little more than a century, to a level of perhaps 95%, or 1.8 billion deaths in India over two centuries, but the population decline during the worst events was “only” 10% or so? Was the Jewish Holocaust of “only” six million the greatest crime in a war that claimed perhaps 100 million lives, when 20 million or so were Slavs who were subjected to similar extermination policies? Was it worse that Jews were intentionally slaughtered while Indians were worked and starved to death, as a side-effect of British greed?

What horrific subjects to study, and I have been doing so for nearly 30 years, which definitely contributed to my drinking problems and other coping mechanisms. When scholars such as Ward Churchill took on not only such topics but the fraudulent ways that Western scholars (mostly white male scholars) dealt with that subject matter, his career was quickly terminated in an academic witch-hunt, as they put some footnotes from his magnum opus under the microscope and defrocked him with frivolous interpretations of his work (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#churchill). The witch-hunt was so egregious that the professor’s union that investigated the incident recommended that professors seek employment at the benighted institution that defrocked Churchill only as a last resort, when all other employment options had been exhausted.

Was it worse to fire-bomb cities with napalm (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#napalm), as the USA and its allies did near the end of World War II, or to gratuitously drop nuclear weapons (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping) on a nation that was trying to surrender?

With that prelude, I will present some recent examples of white-male-scholar bias that I have come upon in my studies. Some is truly grotesque, such as celebrating the Native American genocide, as Michael Berliner did (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#counters), but more common was the kind of subtle emphasis on the facts that Uncle Howard so brilliantly exposed (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn), and the double-standards that Uncle Ed exposed numerous times, such as with his idea of worthy and unworthy victims (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#worthy). This won’t be pretty.

Hi:

I have been asked how I stay sane and do what I do, such as what I wrote yesterday (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1780&viewfull=1#post1780). I have to work at it, and I have had plenty of compensation on my journey. I have lifetimes of hiking opportunities in my backyard, and I take plenty of advantage of it. I am too old (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page10?p=1146&viewfull=1#post1146) to do the big stuff any longer, but I do plenty of the easier hikes, and an example was a couple of days ago, on our national holiday. I hiked for less than two hours and only a couple of miles, but it was plenty. I begin hiking on my favorite local trail with a cardiovascular first 15 minutes or so, getting the RPMs up, which I have been doing since last year. I am at my all-time fattest right now, other than when I was an infant (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm), and losing that weight is high on my list. I have to, if I want to age gracefully and productively.

So, a couple of days ago, I was taking my usual local hike, noting the squirrel logs (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1688&viewfull=1#post1688), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1735&viewfull=1#post1735)), and the prominent flowers at this time of the season are foxgloves (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalis), which abounded on my hike. Attached is a photo of the perils of hiking, as you can see that the top of that dead tree fell on the trail. It was about a 15-foot chunk that could have killed anybody who was under it when that piece broke off. That happened within the past few weeks. A few years ago, I witnessed a 50-foot tree collapse about 50 yards away from me. The loud pops of the trunk breaking before it fell would have been a warning, but I am glad that I did not have to try to dodge it.

At one of my favorite rest stops, the Indian pipe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropa_uniflora) is coming up, attached. It comes up there each year. I have favorite spots, such as violet patches, trillium patches, and berry patches. Sometimes, I get mind-reading woodpeckers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page5?p=530&viewfull=1#post530), but a couple of days ago, I was questing after berries. I had some red huckleberries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinium_parvifolium) along the way, but my goal was salmonberries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubus_spectabilis). They are an early-season berry, and not considered very good eating, but alongside a streambed, I had the best of my life, with my wife, a few years ago. Instead of yellow or red (attached), these were deep purple and huge, and about as tasty as blackberries. I returned to that streambed and hunted for them. A few years ago, we encountered them in mid-June, but in early July this year, they still had a ways to go, although I still got some delicious ones. I’ll sneak back there soon, and see if I can hit their peak.

On the way back, I encountered quite a mushroom patch, attached. White people should not pick mushrooms! :) We are not experienced enough to always distinguish the edibles from the poisonous ones, and I have heard plenty of sick and even dying stories up here, from white people’s picking mushrooms. One relative had an NDE from a mushroom experience. We can get wild-picked ones in the grocery store. No need to risk our health and lives by picking any in the forests.

But a mere couple of hours were enough for a little odyssey, which recharged my batteries. I will never take any of that for granted.

From time-to-time, I read exceptional NDE experiences (https://www.nderf.org/Archives/exceptional.html), which I link to from my site. Here is recent good one (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1william_r_nde_8726.html), and here is another thing that vaccinations (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184) are good for: inducing an NDE (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1bonnie_j_probable_nde.html)! :) That is not the first time that I encountered a vaccine-induced NDE. NDE accounts serve as a reminder to me of why I am here, although I am never let in on the joke. That biker NDE (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1william_r_nde_8726.html) (another great way to have an NDE (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=277&viewfull=1#post277)! :) ) covered a common theme, in that our memories often get erased when we return, which seems to be part of the cruel deal of being here. We are let in on the joke after we leave for good.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Back to white male scholar bias (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1778&viewfull=1#post1778). My previous post on this subject provided a glimpse into the grim subject matter (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1780&viewfull=1#post1780) that has come with my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more). I had already learned my journey’s most important lessons (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) before I began my scholarly journey, so I approached them with an already radicalized perspective. As I began to understand the magnitude of the crimes that I was a beneficiary of (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#familyname), many thoughts and feelings arose. One was the question of how these Big Lies could have been universally believed in my society. Genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide) gets pushed under the carpet in favor of glory stories around the people who perpetrated them (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms). It became mind-boggling. I eventually encountered many instances of just what Uncle Howard wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn), and Morison was actually a radical truth-teller for his time, as he was about the first in the USA to really mention Columbus’s crimes, even if in passing. The chorus of lies about Dennis (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel)) is small stuff, compared to the chorus of lies about American history.

In my years of study, I encountered discussions of which was worse, the Spanish (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#first) or English (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english) experience in the Western Hemisphere. It was like arguing whether Hitler was worse than Stalin. It is all evil, but the discussions were really about ranking evil. The Spanish were responsible for vastly more native deaths, but they were largely unintentional, from disease and greed-driven rapacity. However, the English did not have an equivalent to Las Casas (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#casas). The English were intentionally genocidal toward the natives, just as America’s Founding Fathers were (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers). As in that NDE experience (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1william_r_nde_8726.html) that I referred to this morning (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1781&viewfull=1#post1781), our motivation is everything, and under that framework, those murderous Englishmen went to a darker place than those murdering Spaniards did, or at least some of them did, but our heavens or hells are of our making (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell).

I hear discussions by people today of whether they would want to be enslaved or killed. Which would be worse: a quick end or a lifetime of misery? The British enslaved an entire subcontinent, immiserating billions of people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#asiandeaths), as well as shortening their lives. When I began my scholarly journey, I had a lot of academic jargon to digest. Early on, I encountered “self-determination.” What did that really mean? It meant the freedom to choose, which the British stole from India with its conquest and subjugation. Over the years, I came to understand the “self-determination” issue better. When the Spanish or English invaded and slaughtered, the “self-determination” of those unfortunate natives was forcibly taken from them, if they survived the process. What did that really mean? What it partly meant is that we will never know how Native American societies might have developed, if not for the European invasion. Noam has often written that India was ahead of the English in ways on the modernization curve, such as teaching them how to make steel. We will never know how the Indian culture would have evolved, if the English had never conquered them.

So, the hapless natives of the Americas or India not only had their lives shortened by European conquest, but the survivors often lived in great misery, and their futures were irrevocably altered. The invaders get to own all of that, and over the past 30 years, as I have studied those issues, and recent catastrophes (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading)) that my great nation is responsible for, it has been quite an experience to encounter scholars of the highest integrity, those of the lowest, and many in-between. Those of the lowest can be laughably easy to spot. What is more “interesting” to me are the scholars who have guzzled the Kool-Aid and seem unaware of their bias. As Noam said, those scholars will go “berserk (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1763&viewfull=1#post1763)” if their bias is pointed out to them. I am going to deal with the more subtle biases that I have encountered in coming posts.

Best,

Hi:

White male scholars from the right can be easy to spot. I have a lot of respect for some of them, whom are generally called “paleoconservatives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoconservatism),” which can be contrasted with neoconservatives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism). They have some fundamental differences (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism_and_paleoconservatism), such as that neoconservatives are imperial war-mongers and have been influential in fomenting foreign wars, the invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) most famously, while paleoconservatives are generally isolationists. Constitutionalists and John Birchers hail from the paleoconservative side. Many in the ranks of Dennis’s organizations I would call paleoconservative, and a conspiracist orientation was common among them, for good reason. White male scholars from the left are also pretty easy to spot, and can be on the spectrum from classic liberals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism) to radicals (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm) and structural analysts, such as Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv).

Those categories are not mutually exclusive, and I have seen people move between them, such as David Horowitz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Horowitz) and Christopher Hitchens (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens), who became a member of what Ed called the “Cruise Missile Left (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cml),” as they advocated the invasion of Iraq, united with the neoconservatives. So, there is plenty of overlap between those political philosophies, and you can really go down the rabbit hole, trying to distinguish them. I recently wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/95-Introducing-Chris-Gilbert?p=1775&viewfull=1#post1775) that I see them as either self-serving or other-serving (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), which is the distinction that I think matters the most. I have written at length on the structuralism/conspiracism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) divide in political analysis. Both have their virtues and limitations (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness).

That white male scholar bias can creep out in all of those political flavors, but from the right far more often. The antithesis of white male scholar bias may have been Ed, which is partly why being his first biographer (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) has been such an honor and was a labor of love. You won’t find many black women singing the praises of neoconservatives, as they have with Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#racism1).

The ideal of science (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories) elides those political flavors, but nothing in practice can be completely divorced from politics, particularly in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), as everybody battles for survival. I could present many examples of white male scholar bias, from the entire spectrum of scholarship, but will present only a few from my recent studies, to show the general contours of it.

I have written a little about Rudolph Rummel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_Rummel). Studying genocides and holocausts as I have (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1780&viewfull=1#post1780), I came upon his work many years ago. Rummel was way out there. I have called him a “right-wing nut job (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751),” while Ed more temperately called his work “extreme fanaticism masquerading as scholarship” in his critique (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker) of Pinker’s imperial valentine (http://coldtype.net/Assets.12/PDFs/0812.PinkerCrit.pdf). Of course, at the neocon-run Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621&viewfull=1#post1621), Rummel’s bio is hagiographic, while Ed’s is libelous (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751). For just one example of Rummel’s “scholarship,” he claimed (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1757&viewfull=1#post1757) that the USA intentionally killed only 5,500 Vietnamese civilians in Vietnam, while the North Vietnamese government killed nearly two million. The opposite is closer to the truth. That is what right-wing nut jobs do, unable to see beyond their bias, so that their work can become a caricature of scholarship. But, instead of leaving Rummel’s work way out there, where it belongs, it formed a centerpiece of Pinker’s work on how violence has declined. As Ed and Peterson wrote, while Pinker heavily relied on Rummel’s work, there was no mention of Sen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amartya_Sen) and Drèze’s work, which was vastly more formidable on those subjects, and I found that even Sen and Drèze took it pretty easy on the West in their work. On the last major famine in India under British rule, in 1943, Sen took it easy on the British (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943#Debate_about_causes), as they starved India to feed the war machine. So, Sen and Drèze were far from condemnatory of the imperial West, and Sen got a job at Harvard, the seat of the liberal establishment (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#devil), as Pinker did. So, Pinker ignored his Nobel-Prize-winning colleague in favor of a right-wing nut job. Fair enough, but it shows the extreme ideology around Pinker’s “liberal” work, which is why the New York Times and other “liberal” venues lionized Pinker’s work. As Gore Vidal said, the USA has one political party with two right wings.

I have four of Ian Morris’s books, and he developed a “social development” scale in his work, which I will discuss a little in my essay update. Like Pinker (Canadian) and Sen (Indian), Morris (English) was a member of the British “commonwealth” who migrated to the heart of the empire. Morris teaches at Stanford, the West Coast equivalent of Harvard. While reading Morris’s work, I saw him laud Pinker’s imperial valentine as the “best” recent book that dealt with the global decline in violence. Pinker can be counted on to always downplay the USA’s imperial violence, as he licks that hand that feeds him, and when Morris lauded Pinker’s work, I became very wary of Morris’s work. Morris’s work will be an example of that subtle white male scholar bias, in coming posts.

Best,

Hi:

As I wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1783&viewfull=1#post1783), I will focus on Ian Morris’s work a little. To his credit, he developed what he called a social development scale (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFGW3H6/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i4), which measures a society’s problem-solving ability. Morris had four measures for his scale:


Energy capture
Social organization, as represented by urbanity
War-making capacity
Information technology


I don’t have too much argument against his factors, at least historically. In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), urbanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities) and war-making (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) should vanish, so those are likely ephemeral measures, IMO. Morris ranked energy capture with a bullet, and admitted that the other three were just ways to use energy. He sensibly defined energy capture as acquiring:


Food
Fuel
Raw materials


Distinguishing food from other energy sources makes sense, as human-digestible calories have always been the bedrock of energy capture, and energy makes all raw materials available. I have plenty of problems with how he develops and uses his scale, however. He has a lot of misleading precision, for instance. His scale is probably only useful to one digit, but he takes it to three digits, to compare Rome to China, for instance. When your factors are admittedly subject to a wide range of estimate, and he often made statements like, “I think that my estimate is likely within ten percent of what it really was,” then you can’t very well make credible presentations of a scale value of 43.1. Probably 40 or 45 as is good as you can get, not 43.1. Nevertheless, that he even tried to make a scale is good work, and he got the energy issue right, at least historically. Nowhere that I saw did he hint at free energy or its potentially transformative effects. His look to the future was along the lines of Kurzweil’s “singularity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzweil#Future_predictions),” which I don’t consider to be all that visionary. This (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), is visionary.

So, I can’t argue too much with Morris’s effort on his social development scale, at least as a concept, and his categories make plenty of sense. However, his white male scholar bias bleeds through all the time, so much so that it threatened to invalidate his work, and I’ll get into examples of that in coming posts.

Best,

Wade

In my opinion the way forward towards a healthy and sane FE society has to do with individuals becoming whole first, and that in turn depends on early education.
All the other paths out there that omit the importance of enlightened individuals are top-down elitist plots, will only lead to never ending circular motion. Maybe this can be taken as being opposed to your efforts, Wade, but in fact Im on the same page as you have already discovered that nothing other than a “choir” will work. And from there the choir needs to create more choirs, until so much energy is created that the leap to the fifth epoch becomes more like a single step.

[Wade Frazier]

Thanks Ulli (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1302753&viewfull=1#post1302753):

I’ll write more later, but after having played on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584) for many years, carrying the spears in five different efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), and doing my own thing, I realized that the masses will never wake up through talk or activism. They will only wake up through experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), just as my fellow travelers did (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). Every single advance in human thought and achievement, even the development of our big brains (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain), was the result of an energy event. I don’t know of any exceptions, and I don’t see why it will be different this time. I don’t seek the masses for my effort. The choir-ready (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will be very few and far between. They can get there without free energy, but the rest won’t. Those are just the numbers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and no judgment is implied (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). All the singing in the world won’t reach the masses, but it can reach the people I seek. Sure, other choirs can form, but I have never seen what I am attempting to build.

Best,

Wade

Yes, Wade, actually, I do agree.
Where focus goes, energy flows, and since leaving London back in 1982, and immersing myself in rural third world villages, I have discovered two things: that highly enlightened souls are everywhere, even among the forgotten indigenous tribes, but they are few and far between, and often are lonely due to the fact that they are misunderstood by their peers.
And the other discovery is that our immersion in these poverty stricken areas is raising up the general level of growth and awakening processes around us, at a faster rate than other areas and we are not even doing anything to promote ideas, but simply living our lives, and maintaining our own cosciousness level as best we can.
And simply dropping hints at free energy being around the corner is producing some amazing results.
And that even though most of the time things progress very gradually, like an army which marches on its belly, there are occasional leaps, which seem miraculous.
And they often happen just as one has given up faith that miracles even exist.

Hi:

Back to Morris (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1784&viewfull=1#post1784) and what Ulli (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1302753&viewfull=1#post1302753) wrote, another of Morris’s books that I have is Foragers, Farmers, and Fossil Fuels: How Human Values Evolve (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0691175896/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3). It was the same format as Frans de Waal’s Primates and Philosophers: How Morality Evolved (https://www.amazon.com/Primates-Philosophers-Morality-Evolved-Princeton/dp/0691169160/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1562759448&sr=1-10). In both books, the authors state their cases, and then several other authors were invited to respond to the arguments. The books were so similar that they even had a responding author in common (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Korsgaard).

I also have several of de Waal’s books, and they will make it into my essay update. He is definitely one of the best authors on these subjects. De Waal’s work deals with the evolutionary development of empathy, and is well worth digesting. However, I thought that his stance (https://www.amazon.com/Age-Empathy-Natures-Lessons-Society/dp/178816444X/ref=sr_1_4?qid=1562759839&refinements=p_27%3AFrans+de+Waal&s=books&sr=1-4&text=Frans+de+Waal) on the coming age of empathy was a bit naïve, as if the financial meltdown of 2008 was going to catalyze it. People become more self-serving in times of crisis, not less so.

Morris’s book took it past chimps and monkeys to human societies, and how human morality evolved. Boehm’s Moral Origins (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0465020488/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) also dealt with the evolutionary development of human morality. Michael (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael) said that so-called morality was a form of terrorism by the dominant group over the rest of a society.

These are big issues, and all of those authors are onto something, but I want to deal with Morris’s work for now, as it is highly germane to my concept of Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) and what the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) portends. So-called human morality seemed to have no qualms with driving all of Earth’s easy meat to extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), and all of our fellow human species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#europeinvasion) in the process. When the brief Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer) ended, humans became territorial again, and slaughtering one’s neighbors became standard “moral” practice. A band/tribe’s territorial range was often buffered by a no-man’s land, so that slaughtering each other was not easy, but the goal of each society was sneaking into the neighboring territory and slaughtering everybody but the fertile women, whom would be kidnapped and become broodmares of the victorious society. How “moral” would anybody call that today?

Similarly, with the rise of civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1) came the rise of slavery (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning). The very first written laws (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#akkadian) that have survived were primarily concerned with slave treatment, and all manner of “crime” was punishable by death, such as wifely unfaithfulness (while the guilty man went free) and unauthorized deflowering of virgins. Killing another man’s slave (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Ur-Nammu#Notes) only merited a fine. If you had been alive three hundred years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas), and tried to tell anybody on Earth what an evil institution slavery was, you would have been looked at like you were crazy. Slavery was a hallowed institution, as old as history itself, justified by the Bible and other works. That was why American slaves were allowed to read the Bible, and Antebellum Southern slave-owners pointed to their Bibles to justify slavery (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slavebreeding) clear up to the USA’s Civil War. How “moral” would people consider that today, particularly in industrialized nations?

That was the point of Morris’s book, that what was considered “moral” evolved over the epochs, and that is a major aspect of my work. As the energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#discretionary) increased with each Epoch, human societies could afford to be more humane. So, in the late-Second epoch, slaughtering one’s neighbors and stealing their women was “normal.” For most of the Third Epoch, slavery was “normal,” and incredibly barbaric warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare) was the order of the day, as the losing polity would have its cities destroyed and the survivors sold into slavery. That was one of Rome’s specialties (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#carthage1), and the leading entertainment of Ancient Rome was watching people being forced to murder each other (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gladiators).

How “moral” would you consider those times? Go forward a thousand years after Rome’s heyday, and you will find the Mongol hordes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mongol) slaughtering entire peoples, and a few hundred years later, Europe conquered the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2) in what Morris calls the 500-year war, as Europe was responsible for the greatest demographic catastrophes in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), with the carnage either swept under the rug or celebrated (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#why). My grandfather was born (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas) only a generation after the last celebrated slaughter of the natives (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wounded), and he saw his fellow soldiers adorn their quarters with the skulls of the enemy (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#skulls). When a native scholar had the temerity to chronicle those crimes, a kangaroo court was convened and his career was destroyed (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#churchill). When Noam and Ed chronicled their nation’s genocidal crimes, the company that published their book was destroyed by its owners (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), to prevent its publication. That happened in my lifetime, and that defrocking of that professor only happened in the previous decade, as the American genocidal juggernaut (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) rolled on, securing oil (which the pundits ignore (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), as usual), which is the black gold of industrial economies, and it recently tried to overthrow the government with the world’s largest oil deposits (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1617&viewfull=1#post1617), in a drama that is ongoing as I write this, and about 40,000 citizens of that besieged nation have died so far (https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/14446), because of my nation’s economic warfare against them. As Noam said, today’s world is no more moral than it was in Genghis Khan’s time, if a little less blood-spattered.

However, in Fourth Epoch societies, slaughtering or enslaving one’s neighbors, and stealing their women, is no longer considered “moral.” My great nation’s gladiators “only” play football, as they cripple each other, not slaughter each other, while the tribal masses cheer. It is an improvement of sorts.

In the Fifth Epoch, so-called morality will take another jump upward, and when poverty is gone (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), “normal” aspects of our “advanced” societies, such as wage slavery, will go the way of chattel slavery. Wars won’t “make sense (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping)” any longer, nor will institutionalized greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed).

My coming posts will deal with Morris’s white man’s scholarly bias in dealing with those issues. It is subtler than usual, but still there, for those with eyes to see.

Best,

Wade

But Wade. Morality isn't for sale. You don't buy morality you uphold it. If you can't afford morality what you are is morally bankrupt.

I understand the sentiment, just not the conclusion. There are always moral people who give aid as needed at their own cost and risk.

If there are those who suddenly feel they can afford to be moral these people are destitute regardless of their bank accounts.

Interesting point from Ernie. I think I know exactly what it means. That to do the 'right' and ethical thing is a choice in the soul / mind / heart and if a person can't make the right choice without money/security as a safety net or motivator then their ethics are not so strong. I think there is truth in that. I also see another side to it, which is also – I believe – a truth.

More times than I can count, as a sometime empath and occasional (though very rarely) telepath, I have sensed that the struggles people go through in certain situations are directly rooted in their fear of being able to survive, pay their bills, feed themselves and their families. I have, more times than I can count, concluded that a lot of these people would be less afraid if they did not have to battle with the economic pressures placed around them.

I have seen people compete, or fail to stand up for what is right in the workplace or other places, directly because either (A) they feared losing their job, or (B) they feared the ethical action would put them on a path to losing their job, e.g. it would make them less popular in a way that would make them a 'favoured' choice to go if it came to redundancy time, or they would be passed over for promotions.

Experience has taught me that doing what is right does not always make you popular. I had a situation once, in a job I left years ago, where my boss came to me and another colleague and offered us the shifts of another colleague who had gone abroad for many months on a sabbatical. I could have made more money doing work I enjoyed if I had agreed to the conspiracy. I chose the so-called 'high road' and recalled out loud that the absent colleague had been promised her job back (upon her return) by the previous manager, and that perhaps – as a compromise - we should instead ask this absent colleague if she would be happy for us to finish out a slightly longer period of covering her shifts. My boss, and the colleague who was present, both gave me that look that said, somewhat subtly : “Oh, you think you're a bit better than us.” It's possible my boss thought we might have liked her more for offering us the extra work. Perhaps she was a little disapproving of the employee who had gone abroad; perhaps she couldn't afford the time off work to enjoy the world like the absent colleague. That part I really don't know.

I do know that when the absent colleague returned from abroad I felt she believed myself and the other colleague had been after her shifts. It turned out that she had been promised her shifts back at other jobs too, but this job was the only workplace that made good on that promise. Had it not been for me 'stepping up' to 'do the right thing' perhaps even that wouldn't have been so. In summation, the colleague who returned from abroad was suspicious of me, and the other colleague and my boss probably resented me for doing the 'right' thing, when they had both been prepared to do the selfish thing. Oh, what joy.

All the people above are good people, who I believe to be good souls, and who I liked, have respect for, admiration for, and affection for. I don't condemn them for how they felt. My anger is not towards them. It is towards the corrupted and rigged system, that plays on our weaknesses, which is in dire need of reformation. It is a competitive world. I could tell you more stories of how people did not do what was right in this or that workplace when it came to matters of people not doing their job, or physical and verbal abuse by others, and all because they feared the wrath of colleagues or management.

I don't tell that story to appear virtuous. Please excuse my language, but b—locks to appearing virtuous. I tell that story because what has broken my heart on more occasions than I can count is the despair I feel at the fact that many people would love to do the right thing, but their fear of not being able to survive is so great that it takes over. I do not condemn those people.

If I were suddenly homeless on the street I don't know how long it would take for me to lose the strength that fuels what ability I have to make the ethical choice or enjoy the ethical thought. People who are flawlessly moral and ethical no matter what their circumstances are like jewels upon this earth. I thank God for them. I would never claim to be one of them with no doubt. I have seen darkness in my own soul. How easy it is for fear to take over. For abuses to linger in the DNA, in the bones. For the shadow of insanity to loom so close you have to pull yourself back from the brink with every fibre in your being. The amount of will and/or (conversely) surrender it takes to transmute the weight of that shadow to attempt to become functional again. So I cannot take for granted that moral choices are an easy one. Or that the moral and ethical choice should simply be expected of people. I am not making excuses for those who behave unethically. Sometimes I fantasise about dumping the worst of them on a desert Island. I am saying that were the world not so undeniably rigged with corruption that pricks at people from their earliest years, a lot more people would be a great deal quicker to make the right choices.

I have felt any number of hard emotions in my lifetime : Anger, rage, jealousy, fear, competitiveness. As I got older I was able to develop more of an ability to see them within a second for what they were – more often than not : useless burps resulting from insecurities that had festered in my consciousness. Then I have to attempt to hold the feelings in balance so they do not get projected in my direction, like a kind of misguided martyrdom, where I berate myself into a corner for being so impure.

Being human. What fun.

Most of us understand (those of us who are relatively sane) that if you raise a child in an abusive environment they are far more likely to develop traits of fear/anxiety, or even become abusive themselves. The path of the victim, or the path of the predator. We call these environments 'abusive' for a reason. Aggressive / violent / manipulative behaviours that affect a child negatively are understood, somewhere deep in the fibre of our being, to be unfair, counterproductive, and unjust.

So even if we believe adults should take full responsibility for their own moral choices, I would like to see a kinder, fairer, cleaner environment for the children who have just been or are yet to be born. So that they grow in a world that doesn't batter them from the start, subtly or otherwise, with a survivalist mentality. As it happens, I would like to see that world for the adults too. The millions or billions of adults who would breathe a sigh of deep relief somewhere in their soul, were the competitive nature of this world to take a turn towards a more collaborative and supportive realm.

Clean energy is an absolute foundation for revolutionising our physical infrastructure. How can we even quantify the toll it has taken on our collective psyches to witness the sheer, insane volume of pollution and destruction that we have inflicted on our home, due to addictions that are fostered in us from birth. People addicted to TVs and magazines, and now other devices, that are constantly flashing endless colourful products, aimed like a laser at our most basic desires, compelling people to fill the little 'free time' available after work with 'stuff' to distract us from the economic slave system. In other words, children born into an abusive environment. An abuse that is subtle, and not subtle, and has people losing touch with their deeper selves, like the old fable of the frog that boils slowly in water. Heat the water suddenly and the frog will leap out for its survival. Heat the water slowly so the rise in temperature is comfortable, almost imperceptible, and the frog becomes almost anaesthetised to its own demise.

My little nephew and niece are both adorable and wonderful beings. It makes me sad to see their eyes light up at a plastic toy that will end up in landfill within a few short years. Their instinct for colour and tools that inspire their creativity is fair / natural. The polluting processes / culture that creates too much disposable nonsense is not. Seeing my parents' faces light up when the children exude joy at these yearly gifts and sugary, chocolate covered bonus goodies, is understandable. They are weary grandparents who simply want to see joy in their grandchildren. I am the daughter who gets glared at, for reminding them privately, every now and then, that perhaps these aren't the healthiest choices. A world of addiction for you.

Most of us are tired. Wanting joy where we can get it. Without the strength for going cold turkey on every last aspect of the system. Until I can go cold turkey, I don't expect it of others. Maybe I've had more lifetimes than those who care less than me. Maybe I had an easier life than them this time around. Maybe I had a harder life in ways that grew my understanding. Maybe I was born with more muscle to care, like some athletes are born with better genes to break records. Maybe, maybe...

I know that compared to some tremendous or clear souls I am merely a flabby fangirl, waddling alongside the track while others run the real obstacle course of being deeply advanced and walking the talk.

Assuming the world doesn't end fairly quickly, we need to find ways to clean it up and, eventually, consider leaving this solar system.

I don't expect everyone to wake up and have an emotional or spiritual revelation so strong that it enables them to quit all their addictions. A vague understanding of history, and what little instinct or psychic ability I may have, does not tell me that's likely.

I do think that any of us who have seen these things for what they are, owe it to ourselves to hold the vision for a better world. It is the same instinct, arguably, that wants to pull a child out of an abusive environment. A sound instinct.

I come across people who claim to be, sometimes with enthusiasm, convinced that certain types of abuse are wrong but that we should thank all the dark doers for playing their role in a perfectly mapped divine plan. I can say with full conviction I am not one of those people. Perhaps I am not strong enough / wise enough yet. Perhaps my resistance is a symptom of not having matured enough. But until I know that I feel it from a deep place, I am not going to claim to think it. I leave that to God, or those closer to divine perfection.

If we can clean up this planet, we will be on a path to being more enlightened, and truly clean energy is a path towards that end.

There's a risk with this topic of getting lost in the old 'what comes first, the chicken or the egg?' The physical tools or the proper mind?

I keep coming back to the fact that we need both, and for what it's worth Wade, that has always been my understanding of your intent with this work.

Sorry for the vent. It's been a long month of facing others' selfishness, and being to some extent devastated by that which I cannot heal. In them. Or in my tired self. Essentially facing my own limitations and crying in the dark to whoever maybe listening beyond the veil.

They're probably bored of me by now. But I like to visualise them as patient.

Hi:

When I saw Ernie’s post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1303000&viewfull=1#post1303000), I wondered who might step up, and this time, Melinda did (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1303129&viewfull=1#post1303129), with her usual poetic self. I am way too busy right now, so this will be short for now. I try to not use much academic and scientific jargon in my work, as it is intended for the laity (and I am one of them! :) ), but Ernie’s post is similar to rebuttals that Morris got in his Foragers, Farmers, and Fossil Fuels: How Human Values Evolve (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0691175896/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3), and they seemed to miss his point. The entire point of Morris’s work was making the case that so-called morality is a social construct, and that it has changed over the Epochs. Morality is about sociality (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/96-Human-sociality-and-free-energy?p=925&viewfull=1#post925) and survival, not integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=1280&viewfull=1#post1280), although people often harbor the conceit that it does. They are two different things.

Morris’s point, and I agree, is that in the late-Second Epoch, slaughtering one’s neighbors and stealing their women was the “moral” thing to do. For the entirely of recorded history, until the past three centuries, slavery was a moral and hallowed institution. Today, slaughtering foreign peoples (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) under the flimsiest of pretexts is high morality in my nation, and that makes Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) such traitors in American circles. Even when American black football players began protesting the American national anthem a couple of years ago by refusing to stand, what everybody agreed on was that our military was heroically protecting our freedom, so it stood above the fray of those protests. Our military does no such thing, but it is a universally believed lie in the USA, except by “immoral” people like me.

Don’t confuse morality with integrity. As Michael (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael) said, morality is a form of social terrorism by the dominant class. I’ll buy that, and the greatest lesson of my journey was that personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and is the primary reason why we don’t live in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) today. A great way to learn that lesson is to play on the high road for a while (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584), if you can survive the experience. I have been writing about the integrity issue for many years, and the examples that Ernie provided are what the Boy and Girl Scouts do (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts), and they are very few and far between (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) on Earth today. Those are just the numbers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). My integrity statement (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) is at least twenty years old, and about the time of my Camelot interview (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm), somebody well-known to all Avalonians replied to my integrity statement with, “You got that right!” People generally have to play on the high road for a time to truly understand that statement.

The message of a Jesus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy) is easy to understand and the most enlightened message ever given to humanity, but virtually nobody lives it, and they won’t, in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). In a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance), more will, as it won’t cost as much to do so. As I have written, in the Fifth Epoch, this kind of world becomes feasible (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), and they got there by choosing love. In the Fifth Epoch, human morality will move up a few more notches on the integrity scale (like the attached image, from de Waal’s Primates and Philosophers (https://www.amazon.com/Primates-Philosophers-Morality-Evolved-Princeton/dp/0691169160/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1562759448&sr=1-10)), and war (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) and exploitation will no longer be “moral,” just as slavery became immoral (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas) when machines began replacing people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slavebreeding), just as slaughtering your neighbors on sight became immoral in agrarian economies.

Ulli wrote about people needing to become whole before we can have free energy, but the masses won’t become whole in a world of scarcity and fear. They can’t. I seek a tiny fraction of humanity who have the requisite integrity and are willing and able to do the work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and together, we can move that ball down the field a ways. It may only help a little, it may be the critical missing piece, but it won’t hurt anybody, but those who cling too hard to their self-serving “morals” might have a difficult time of it. :)

Best,

Wade

Interesting chimp violence to outgroups is situational (https://youtu.be/20eO0UItMGc?list=PL1B24EADC01219B23&t=823) They don't always attack strangers! It is modulated by history and culture.
Nothing is fixed in nature.

Humans out migrated 210 thousand years (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1376-z) ago out of Africa

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1303448&viewfull=1#post1303448):

It is difficult to distinguish species from skeletal evidence (https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/testing-models-of-modern-human-origins-with-96639156), but I don’t have a problem with the 300K age of Homo sapiens that is increasingly being argued for. It was 200K years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sapiens) when I published my big essay five years ago. 210K years ago was during an interglacial period (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceageeurope1), so no surprise to find them in Southern Europe then, just as they seem to have ventured out of Africa during the interglacial interval (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#interglacial1) of 110K years ago. There were likely huge cultural differences in the groups that migrated during those intervals, and the one 50-60K years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit) was the one that conquered Earth.

Since there is genetic evidence of interbreeding with Neanderthals, which is the key definition of a species (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species), some anthropologists consider Neanderthals a subspecies of Homo sapiens, or more accurately, modern humans are a subspecies of Homo heidelbergensis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#heidelbergensis), and Neanderthals were our northern cousins. If Homo sapiens could interbreed with Homo erectus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus) (and Homo sapiens certainly would have tried! :) ), then our species might be two million years old. I’ll present my views in the essay update.

On those chimps, the nature/nurture argument is always the important one, to me. Humans can be xenophobic or not, and it is greatly dependent on their economic situation. I have been targeted by small-town xenophobia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion), and my heritage included that group that treated me that way. So, yes, not all chimps are going to be xenophobic in all situations. There likely needs to be threat or gain involved.

Best,

But Wade. Morality isn't for sale. You don't buy morality you uphold it. If you can't afford morality what you are is morally bankrupt.

I understand the sentiment, just not the conclusion. There are always moral people who give aid as needed at their own cost and risk.

If there are those who suddenly feel they can afford to be moral these people are destitute regardless of their bank accounts.

Yes. People who care are rare... however it is ego which makes me think i care. Change my circumstances and starve me for a week, I will voluntarily join our ape relatives from 7 million years ago. Our personalities, our hopes dreams and our morality/integrity is very strongly influenced by whether or not our belly is full and whether we live in fear.

Which is why retail politics is full of fear, and dog whistles.

[Wade Frazier]

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1303731&viewfull=1#post1303731):

You care more than the average bear, but yes, people rarely rise very far above their material circumstances, and that is one of the most important messages of my work, IMO, and our conditioning is very influential, especially when we are young. I was brought up in a racist (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism1), imperial society, and if my mother had not prevailed on my father (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business) to talk me out of it, I might have been one of those imperial tools that bombed Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#responsibility).

My most harrowing studies were during the summer of 1999, which I spent studying World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good) and the Holocaust (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward). Why was it harder on me than studying the genocide in the Americas (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), or my great nation’s ongoing imperial slaughters and genocides (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading)? My guess is that that was all that I studied for several months, and I actually took a break of more than a year from my writings and studies after doing it, and I was finally able to stop drinking in the middle of that break, after ten years of trying.

When I studied the horrors of World War II, there were instances of people’s rising above their circumstances and demonstrating compassion and heroism, risking and often losing their lives, but they were very few and far between. There weren’t many “heroes of the Holocaust (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#hero).” I think that what happened then can be generalized. Germany was Europe’s most civilized nation before World War I, and it quickly plumbed the depths of depravity over the next 30 years. In general, people act with integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) when they can afford it, and if Ernie wants to argue that that is not integrity at all, I am OK with that. I have witnessed people’s living their lives at the summit of integrity, but it usually cost them their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), and almost nobody around them understood. If you act with true integrity, expect to be attacked for it, and often by the very people that you helped/saved. I learned that one long ago.

I don’t want to live to see the collapse that may well be coming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), as our societies have been slowly unraveling with our declining standard of living (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline). As Seth (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth) said, there is nothing noble about poverty.

Posts like this make me smile. Thank you Krishna. (Appreciate a lot of your posts.)

To say : “however it is ego which makes me think i care” is very honest.

I know one of the reasons it is 'enjoyable' to care in certain ways is precisely because it is self-serving. Makes me feel good about myself or better about my day to have done something 'good'. In that sense it is the most enjoyable selfishness. I also know that one reason I would like poverty and inequality of opportunity to fade away is that it will mean a lot more people who are well-adjusted and easier to be around, and therefore a less threatening environment for me to live in.

(Equally, the drive to care about the planet is also partly selfish. We need trees, clean water and the abundance of life and living beings to maintain the ecosystem that keeps our sustenance, weather and well-being maintained.)

As someone who occasionally feels other people's emotions in my own energy field, their anger / bitterness / predatory-instincts are often difficult to process and overcome. Quite selfishly, I much prefer feeling the opposite from people. Their frequencies of joy, kindness, wisdom help trigger or amplify my own.

Other times it is a relief to feel a certain amount of darkness in people, because it resonates with my wounds, or perspectives, in a way that is soothing, and makes me feel less alone in my experience. Perhaps it depends on how well they, or I, can hold that space – so that the darkness is there to be witnessed, or learned from, in a process of transmutation. Used to fuel an act of creativity or healing. Sometimes that healing is found simply in acceptance. In the stillness.

When alone, sometimes I like walking calmly whilst listening to heavy metal music. Kind of a yin and yang sorta deal. Other days it's all about the clarity of birdsong or the gentle tones of crystal bowls. (And what lies between the two extremes.)

Horses for courses, as the saying goes. My guess : the balance lies somewhere in owning our own stuff, without it leaking out and affecting or violating others' free will.

Many babies and infants have a wonderful, clear and vibrant aura – untarnished by many of the wounds or denser energies we adults carry around. The more sensitive I've become to it, the more nourishing it can be to be close to. In the right doses. For a parent or caregiver it can be a different experience and exhausting at times for all the predictable reasons.

In one job I had at a day-care centre for children, I was new to the workplace, and all morning a young child had been crying loudly, unable to settle. I was thrown in the pen by my colleagues to deal with it, as a kind of baptism of fire. I picked her up and said to her (to paraphrase) : “You're missing your mum and dad. You needn't worry. They love you very much and simply needed to be elsewhere to do the things they need to do to take care of you. They love you and are thinking of you. They brought you here because they knew you would be safe.” The little girl understood and stopped crying immediately. I can assure you I'm no baby-whisperer. No special skills. What happened was simply a moment of truth. I understood her fear, and she understood my honesty in that moment. Ego stepped out of the way for both of us. Like a Godsend.

(Mmm. I like that story. Selfishly reminds me of something useful I did once.)

One aspect of unselfishness can be defined as the ability to get out of the way and allow the highest truth to manifest. And the satisfaction isn't ego-based. It just feels like pieces have fallen into place, in line with a higher harmony. Like a balance.

Sometimes I find it hard to be around people of a much higher vibration, because the frequency itself can poke at my blockages before I'm ready or able to heal – through no deliberate act of the higher-vibe individual. It's their frequency doing the prodding; not their deliberate or conscious intent. So selfishly I walk away, with a nod of respect – and toddle off to offer my grizzly bits to the cleansing fire of an alchemical flame. What I'm thankful for, is the ability to see it's my stuff, and not theirs, that troubles me.

Ego has its place – protecting us from threats, trauma and other tricksy gremlins. And some of its protectiveness may be rooted in ancestral traumas, carried down in our bodies and lingering in our consciousness. But sometimes it's like a battle-ready soldier, needing reminding that the war is either over, or needn't go on into oblivion.

I think most here would agree there's no need to demonise the ego, the way we may be tempted to do in our wish to evolve, i.e. by denying we have one. It has its place in our lives. Along with humour, which has saved me from my ego grabbing the reins more times than I can recall :

https://i.imgur.com/8oLwcgo.jpg

Reckon that's enough from me and my ego for now.

Hi:

Well, a 4.6 earthquake hit about 15 miles from my house yesterday morning (https://www.newsweek.com/earthquake-washington-seattle-california-seismologist-1448923), and I just now found out about it. I slept right through it. A 4.6 quake is nothing. :) My first earthquake was when I was 12 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971_San_Fernando_earthquake), and my bed jumped around the room. That one woke me up. That was a 6.5-er, about 30 miles from my home. I have experienced plenty of quakes since then, but nothing as dramatic as that first one. I don’t want to live to experience the Big One (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/friday-earthquakes-on-a-crustal-fault-show-its-not-only-the-big-one-we-should-fear/), when the next one comes. In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), earthquakes and other natural disasters won’t have any effect on human societies. Humans will no longer be vulnerable to them.

Best,

Wade

[ulli]

My son and family are currently driving from San Francisco to Seatlle. As soon as they landed in CA the quakes began. And a couple of years ago when they came to visit me in Costa Rica a volcano eruption caused so much ash in the air that their flight had to return half way, and they had to reschedule for the next day. So I’m beginning to suspect that since he loves nature’s drama so much that it is his subconscious that is creating these events.

Hi:

Like Chris and some others here, Melinda does not post often, but when she does (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1303789&viewfull=1#post1303789), it is always good, choir-ish, even. The ideal is being self-serving and other-serving (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) at the same time, giving as good as we get, and even realizing that giving is receiving, as we are all one (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nature). Not an easy lesson to learn. :) As the Beatles sang, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

[Ernie Nemeth]

Wade, if you've noticed, there is no room on this thread for debate. Sometimes I need to speak up.

People who care are rare. What a statement. Is that more true from your experience than that morality must be upheld? I completely disagree with that sentiment. Everybody cares, or they wouldn't be human. What they actually are is captured by a system that has left them bereft - and wanting to find a way to fix that from within the system itself, which can never be done.

Everyone knows right from wrong - that is morality. Only those with integrity uphold it. The choice is sometimes hard. The choice sometimes costs money, prestige and status. Sometimes it costs friends. Sometimes the cost is too high...which is what you are stating- and I get that. But sometimes the actual truth has to be stated as well.

Let's state that again, shall we? Morality is a choice, derived from knowing right from wrong, that those with integrity do not compromise. Ethics is this world's answer to the difficulty of the moral choice by modifying morality to suit.

So it becomes an ethical issue. I would do the right thing but my family needs to eat so I will steal this loaf of bread - that is ethics at work. But, if the person would understand that their plight is institutionalized they would realize that not only is stealing that loaf of bread imperative to survival but that it is the morally right thing to do. Morality is often juxtaposed with and opposed by the system's dictates so that moral behavior is often seen as criminal. But when the system itself is criminal the truly good person must be seen as a lawless anarchist.

That's how I come across too. I get it. I do not follow rules designed to contain me. Not yours and not the system's.

I totally get we need to disclose the system's sequestered advanced technologies. Got that day one here, and before. It is the criteria you wish us to hold that is the problem. You cannot take all these scientific studies, based on incomplete understandings, most of which will fall by the wayside in the coming decades, and insist that is the cost of entry. That is where you lost me at least.

When I was trying to hash out all these issues with you years ago you flat out debunked many of my observations, only to later admit when probed by others that they were possibilities that could not be discounted. I seem to rub you the wrong way. That again is my issue. Sorry about that.

And sorry that I joked about using my name in public as the first true example of a person who 'gets it'. I Was Joking! But from that moment on I was on the black list. You stopped corresponding and ceased all further efforts on my behalf. That hurt.

After a while the hurt eased and I realized that there was no one else I knew that held a position as close to my own as you. You are an expert, trained and blessed by an incredible brain - but you have your blind spots. I have mine. I could have made a great lieutenant. It's what I am best at.

Why? Because I have integrity and that is the rarest commodity on earth...

Hi:

Back to the task at hand. Krishna likes Ian Morris’s work, for good reason. There is a lot to commend about his work. However, that white male bias bled through all of the time. When he wrote on subjects that I am particularly aware of, his bias could be so extreme as to call the entire validity of his work into question. I could present many examples of his white male bias, but will present just a few examples. In his War! What is it Good For? (https://www.amazon.com/War-What-Good-Conflict-Civilization/dp/0374286000), Morris made the case, as have others, that warfare has actually made humanity more prosperous and peaceful, as conquering various peoples and bringing them together under the imperial umbrella prevents smaller wars from happening, so everybody gets along and spends more time and energy getting wealthier and less fighting with their neighbors. It is actually called “productive” war. What a subject. While I found myself agreeing with some of it, his white male bias was so evident throughout his work that it helped undermine his arguments.

I’ll present a couple of examples. In a section of War!, titled “Pax Britannica” (pp. 225-234), Morris made the case that the past 500 years of European dominance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2) is the most “productive” in the human journey, as Europe conquered humanity and brought nearly all of them under the imperial umbrella. Morris is well-read to the extreme, and his arguments are generally multi-disciplinary, so the lapses in his work are far less forgivable than those of somebody less well read. I’ll never be as well read as Morris is, for instance; I don’t have the time for it. I have never had a job as a scholar, but had to do it all in my “spare” time, and essentially sacrificed my life to do so. No complaints, but I can never be as well read as somebody whose job allows them to spend most of their time reading. But on some subjects, I am arguably as well read as almost anybody and, unfortunately, on the subject of holocausts, genocides, and enslaving entire peoples, not many white guys are as well read as I am. When reading Morris’s work on the subject, his bias could be appalling, as he seemed to forget the lessons that his studies should have taught him. I have seen this phenomenon many times. When intelligence and study runs into self-serving conceits, the conceits usually prevail. And unless you knew the subject matter well, you might miss the bias in Morris’s work, as it was cloaked in scholarly pretensions.

I need to lay a little groundwork here, which I already largely did, when discussing death tolls and responsibility (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1780&viewfull=1#post1780). The Spanish violently slaughtered (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#first) relatively few Native Americans. After they violently established their dominance, the greatest demographic catastrophe in the human journey was primarily an issue of disease, overwork, and starvation, mostly in the mines and plantations of Spain’s nascent empire. When the natives quickly disappeared, then the Spanish began importing African slaves, and another demographic catastrophe began (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2). Spain got to own all of it, even though it was not all “intentional,” as the Spanish did not actively seek to eradicate all of the natives. They just worked and starved them to death, treating them as “expendable” in their quest for riches. When the English arrived on the scene a century later (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english), they would have done the same thing that the Spanish did, but they did not find gold-plated civilizations to plunder, and there were not any more huge sedentary populations to exploit, so they came for the land, and their intentions were openly genocidal, to clear the land of the “subhumans” and take it, which became Hitler’s inspiration (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hitler) for “settling” Eastern Europe.

But England began industrializing during that holocaust, and that holocaust is actually “credited” with stimulating the English economy to the point of industrializing. The industrializing English easily out-competed their French rivals, who were behind on the industrialization curve, and England’s greatest imperial “achievement” was the subjugation of India (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#bengal). During their two centuries of rule in India, the British were responsible for nearly two billion excess deaths (https://sites.google.com/site/palestinegenocideessays/churchill-s-crimes-from). Few of those deaths were from what I’ll call “retail” British violence, but from the reprioritization of India’s economy from self-rule (of a sort), to instead providing raw materials and a captive market for an industrializing Great Britain. Those dead Indians were worked and starved to death, not slaughtered.

Morris is English, so this is not a foreign subject to him. It was very telling how he dealt with those events, and I’ll explore them in coming posts.

Hi Ernie (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1303804&viewfull=1#post1303804):

I’ll reply to your post when I have more time.

Hi:

As I get into Morris’s bias, I need to set the stage a little, on how intellectual houses of cards are built and collapse. I crunch numbers for a living (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#context). I have being doing it since the 1980s, and I have an active radar when academics crunch numbers. I have encountered a great deal of shoddy crunching, even arguably fraudulent, in many areas of scholarship and science. When Ed and Peterson shredded Pinker’s imperial valentine (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker), they took special aim at Rummel’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1783&viewfull=1#post1783), which Pinker heavily relied on. Rummel’s work is a classic example of what ideologues produce, as he performed his ludicrous number crunching, such as the “democide” death toll in Vietnam caused by the USA. The USA’s invasion of Southeast Asia is the greatest international crime since World War II, and the USA outdid the Nazis at times (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#newsweek), with several million deaths when the carnage finally ended, when Vietnam invaded Cambodia and ended Pol Pot’s reign (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia1). Then the USA supported Pol Pot for the next decade, while Noam and Ed have been falsely accused of being Pol Pot supporters (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia) for the past 40 years. The hypocrisy is off the scale. Rummel’s “democide” total for the USA in Vietnam is 5,500 people. Rush Limbaugh is more credible.

Pinker’s violence book (http://coldtype.net/Assets.12/PDFs/0812.PinkerCrit.pdf) is imperial tripe, but Morris called it the best of the recent crop of “declining violence” books, and as I read Morris’s work, I could see why, as he continually minimized the death and suffering that the West has inflicted on humanity, and what the USA continues to inflict. Pinker and Morris are itinerant scholars who migrated to the USA, and are both professors at the USA’s leading liberal establishment institutions, Harvard and Stanford. They both lick the imperial hand that feeds them. Morris less so, but his bias was startling at times, and I’ll get into some of it now.

In that section of his war book that I wrote about in a recent post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1792&viewfull=1#post1792), Morris wrote about Europe’s’ conquest of humanity. In that book, like his Why the West Rules (https://www.amazon.com/Why-West-Rules-Now-Patterns/dp/0312611692), he doesn’t really do academic notes. He has notes, but they are not marked in the text. At the end of the book, he will put a phrase in quotes from the text, and then refer to his source. Fair enough, but that style is generally used for non-academic audiences, so he is not writing to academics, but the laity. Carl Sagan abused his position (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan) to write misleadingly to his lay audience, which was a big blot on his career as a popularizer. When academics write for a popular audience, they have double duty to present the information as accurately as possible, as the laity generally can’t spot when they are pulling a fast one.

So, on page 226, Morris described the American Holocaust:


“If, as I think we should, we count the victims of pestilence and war dead, the figures are shocking. Between 1500 and 1650, the Native population of the New World fell by half. Those historians who call the conquest an ‘American holocaust’ have a point.”


To the laity, it might seem that Morris is firmly laying the catastrophe at the West’s hands. However, “by half” is the lowest number that I have seen in discussions that I consider credible. When I saw that “by half,” I wondered where he got it, as he did not provide a reference. His only reference for page 226 was to attribute “American holocaust” to David Stannard’s book. I have written about that book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=734&viewfull=1#post734) for the past 20 years. It was my big wake-up call on what Europe’s “settling” of the Western Hemisphere was really like. It is still the one to be reckoned with. Since Stannard’s book is the only reference for that page, and is the source for the sentence after the “by half” statement, a curious reader could be forgiven for thinking that the “by half” statement came from Stannard’s work, but they would be wrong.

One of the greatest scholarly debates on the pre-Columbian Western Hemisphere is what the population was in 1492. It has raged for the past century, and two poles have been the “Low Counters” and “High Counters.” A century ago, the prevailing academic opinion was that there were only eight million natives in the Western Hemisphere in 1492, and they only migrated from Asia a few thousand years ago. That was the classic Low Counter position, and I know of no credible scholars today who argue for that.

Today, the evidence is strong for at least one migration from Asia, about 15 thousand years ago, (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#americanmigration) far more than the few thousand years ago surmised a century ago. As usual, the arrival of humans “coincided” with the extinction of all of the easy meat (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#clovis). The so-called Clovis culture did not last long, only until the easy meat had been rendered extinct, and of great significance to the Native Americans who descended from the first invaders, nearly all of the candidates for domesticated animals died in that holocaust, so that the llama was the Western Hemisphere’s only draft animal in 1492, and it only lived along the Andes.

My revision of the late-second and early-third epochs might be the most significant of my upcoming essay revision. I have been doing a lot of study on those subjects.

Without draft animals, all power came from human muscles, which put Native Americans far behind the Old World in technological advancement, and they didn’t have sailing ships of note, either. They were still in their Stone Age in 1492. There was some bronze work along the Andes in 1492, for elite prestige use, but that was it for the Western Hemisphere.

Stannard belongs in the High Counter camp. His Before the Horror (https://www.amazon.com/Before-Horror-Population-Western-Contact/dp/0824812328) preceded his American Holocaust, and he argued that the pre-discovery population of the Hawaiian Islands might have been a million people, and it created quite a splash in academic circles. The Growth and Collapse of Pacific Island Societies (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0824831489/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p2_i0) discussed Stannard’s audacious argument, but cited a study of campfire sites that still supported the conventional estimate of about 250,000 natives when Captain Cook arrived.

In American Holocaust, Stannard accepted about a 95% attrition rate of the New World’s natives, and his estimate of the 1492 population was about 100 million. I have written at length on the genocide of the Western Hemisphere’s natives (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), and pre-Columbian estimates of 50-80 million are common today. In 2003, demographer Livi Bacci estimated “only” 30-40 million in 1492 (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#population). I consider his estimate to be the very low end of credible estimates. In 1650, the native population has been estimated at a little less than six million, to as high as nine million. There is not a great deal of controversy on the 1650 population; only the 1492 one is debated much. All of the Spanish chroniclers of the invasions of the Aztec and Inca empires described thickly populated lands, and they were certainly the densest populations in the New World in 1492. Last year, Serg expressed his amazement at the latest Mayan findings (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1206267&viewfull=1#post1206267). A Classic Mayan peak population of 10 million is no big stretch, in light of the recent findings, or more than the estimate of a century ago for the entire hemisphere.

The controversy will outlive me, but I think it is safe to say that the Western Hemisphere’s population in 1492 was substantial, and a 100 million population is not an outlandish estimate. If the six million population in 1650 is used, and 100 million to start, that is a 94% depopulation in about 150 years. There is literally nothing else in the human journey to compare it to. If we use the nine million estimate and the low-end of Livi Bacci’s estimate, then we have “only” a 70% depopulation. Where the heck did Morris get his “by half” estimate from? It did not take much surfing to find where it likely came from, and no wonder Morris did not cite it. It is likely this estimate (https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/12/111205-native-americans-europeans-population-dna-genetics-science/) from a DNA study (https://www.pnas.org/content/108/51/20444). Well, here is where that scientific literacy that I keep emphasizing can come in very handy. Molecular biology is a very young science, and molecular clock and genetic “bottleneck” studies are highly controversial today, and such exercises are only going to be credible when correlated with archeological and fossil evidence, particularly for the recent human past. Using the “generous” nine million number for 1650, then Morris is implying a New World population in 1492 of 18 million people, which is not much better than the estimates of a century ago. If we use the six million number, that arrives at a 1492 population of 12 million.

If that DNA study is the source for Morris’s “by half” remark, what a travesty. That study also suggested that the Native American population peaked five thousand years ago. My god, there is not an anthropologist alive who believes that. The land’s carrying capacity under farming versus hunting and gathering is more than a hundred times greater, and maize cultivation spread from New England to Chile in the millennia before the natives were “discovered” by Columbus. The two pristine states of the Western Hemisphere, in Mesoamerica (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mesoamerica) and along the Andes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#andean), formed less than three thousand years ago, and they were the two big population centers in the New World. The idea that the New World’s population peaked five thousand years ago is way out there. What Morris did is slipshod at best.

I am going to attach a pair of images from Charles Mann’s 1493 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307278247/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1), of the eastern woodlands in 1500 and 1650. In 1500, there were huge deforested areas where agriculture was practiced. By 1650, those “widowed” lands were forested again, waiting to be deforested by the “settlers.”

The same thing happened in Central America, as deforested and thickly populated lands were quickly depopulated by the Spanish invasion. Today’s Nicaragua alone is estimated to have had a population of about two million in 1492. Oviedo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalo_Fern%C3%A1ndez_de_Oviedo_y_Vald%C3%A9s), who was an enthusiastic conqueror, marveled, in a horrified way, at how quickly and completely regions of Central America were depopulated by the Spanish conquest and slave trade. He could scarcely believe it, and he watched it happen.

There are all sorts of accounts like that among the Spanish chroniclers, such as this one (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cieza). So, Morris’s unreferenced “by half” is out there. He did something similar for a more current holocaust. I think that I wrote about it before, but I will do so again.

Hi:

On the same page where Morris writes about the American Holocaust, he writes about the British conquest of India:


“As in the European conquest of the Americas, the biggest killer was not direct violence but its consequences, which in India meant famine more often than disease. Between the Great Bengal Famine of 1769-70 and the All-India Famine of 1899-1900, a horrifying thirty to fifty million Indians starved. Roughly a billion people lived in India across those 130 years, and so one in twenty or one in thirty people died from war-related famines – if, that is, this horror should be laid entirely at the British door.

“Bad weather, particularly El Niño events, was the immediate cause of most of those disasters, but some historians argue that a combination of the disruption caused by conquest and the callousness and/or stupidity of the conquerors turned unavoidable climate-driven crises into entirely avoidable human catastrophes. The blame game has been ugly ever since it began in the 1850s, but even the most anti-European critic would have to concede that the conquest of India was much less lethal than that of the Americas.”


Morris gets some points as an Englishman writing about those events, and he even seems evenhanded, but that is kind of an illusion, even here. Morris gets points for including the non-violent deaths in his tally, but that was really a tiny fraction of the deaths and misery that the British inflicted, and that reality is also directly at variance with Morris’s argument of “productive war.” If the overall death toll due to the British presence was more like nearly two billion people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), and that number is in the ballpark, we go back to the issue of absolute and relative death tolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1780&viewfull=1#post1780). Which was worse, “only” about 100 million deaths that depopulated a hemisphere over 150 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1793&viewfull=1#post1793), or nearly two billion deaths spread over two centuries, but the worst decline was “only” 10%, and the population generally grew over that time? To be fair to Morris, virtually no white man’s scholarship raises the issue, so he can perhaps get off the hook through ignorance, but then he is merely parroting the white man’s bias, as he derivatively praises Rummel’s fantasies. To make the blanket statement that “the conquest of India was much less lethal than that of the Americas” is highly problematic, at minimum.

Morris followed that with a fairly accurate account of the Belgian genocide in the Congo (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#congo), which may have reduced the population by half, but the other imperial players in the “rubber boom” racked up similar tallies.

I’ll finish reviewing Morris’s effort with his treatment of a subject near and dear to my heart: the American/British invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). Morris has a dual loyalty to overcome there, as an Englishman making his home in the USA. His account of the USA’s permanent war in the oil-rich Middle East was not much better than the New York Times’s, which is not saying much (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pm20), but he made an explicit comparison between the invasion of Iraq and the Second Boer War (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Boer_War). Morris wrote: “The Boer and Iraq Wars were both preemptive, launched to head off future aggression.” Morris also wrote that the politicians waging the wars saw themselves as “humanitarians,” not “materialists” who were really freeing Iraq’s oil and South Africa’s gold and diamonds. Morris really seemed to believe that tripe. That is as naïve as they come. To think that Bush (and Rummy and Cheney, etc.) had any humanitarian impulses is quite a stretch.

To be fair to Morris, he then discussed the Orwellian “homeland security” days of the Bush administration, but then went on to defend the USA’s treatment of Iraq, in that compared to the British in South Africa, the USA was not “very dark at all.” Morris wrote that the British campaign in South Africa overwhelmingly killed women and children in its concentration camps, of disease and starvation, a quarter of its detainees, while only one-in-three-hundred Iraqi civilians died during the American invasion and occupation. There, Morris once again plays the numbers game, and badly.

In the redoubtable Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) (:) ), the death toll among the resisting Boers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Boer_War) was 6,000 fighters killed and nearly 50,000 died in the concentration camps, who were mostly women and children. In Iraq, the death toll was orders of magnitude higher, if we rightly include all of the deaths since 1991 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#continuing), which overwhelmingly killed civilians, and children in particular. The excess death toll due to the USA (and let’s leave aside for now the war between Iraq and Iran that the USA fomented, when Saddam was our ally, which killed a million soldiers and caused untold suffering, immediately after Iran overthrew the bloody American puppet, who was placed there by the CIA on behalf of the oil companies (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iran)), was several million people (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), and Iraq likely won’t recover in my lifetime. Four million excess deaths in a nation of less than 30 million is more than 10% of the population, so Morris’s one-in-three hundred number is ludicrous, when it was really more like one-in-ten or less. How Morris came up with his numbers is a mystery, as he provided no references once again, but he likely just parroted the clearly bogus numbers that various pundits have derived, and I have followed the issue closely since 1991. One of the hacks who first reverted my work on Ed’s bio, before the admin swooped in (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1368&viewfull=1#post1368), has also been active in minimizing the Iraqi casualties at Wikipedia. Morris has probably been sipping from poisoned wells like that.

His naïve parroting of the propaganda numbers is bad enough, but it also undermines his case of how the world is getting less violent with its “productive” wars. In that regard, it is like Pinker’s tripe, and as Ed and Peterson said, in the “real world,” the facts are a bit different from popularly presented, but don’t expect the sons of the Empire to treat the issue fairly.

This kind of white man’s bias permeates mainstream scholarship (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity), and is what Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) took on for many years, and Noam still does. In ways, Morris’s work is worse than right-wing pundits such as Rummel, as Morris seems to take a “liberal” stance. You won’t find any mention of Noam’s work in Morris’s, which is the safe stuff that your grandmother could read and not get her feathers too ruffled.

And this exemplifies a key problem that I have had to constantly deal with: what seems to be credible scholarship on its surface is badly marred by what Noam calls the “hegemonic” culture that always turns a blind eye to our crimes while exaggerating the crimes of others. It is also called hypocrisy, but it is so deeply embedded in Western psyches that even people who fancy themselves free thinkers who have escaped it might be the most mired of all. This is the scholarly equivalent of what I have called “Level 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3)” on my free energy awareness scale (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart), as the “educated” and “experts” are arguably the most entrenched in their denial, and they will be among the last to awaken to reality.

That kind of bias can become maddening to continually encounter, which is what made the work of people such as Ed and Noam such an oasis. So, Morris is far from the worst of them, but he is also far from the best, and I’ll likely use some of his work in my essay update, but sparingly and warily.

With this post, I’ll wind down my white male bias in scholarship (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1778&viewfull=1#post1778) thread for now. I could write for years on that subject, but I have bigger fish to fry (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447) these days.

Wade, if you've noticed, there is no room on this thread for debate. Sometimes I need to speak up.

People who care are rare. What a statement. Is that more true from your experience than that morality must be upheld? I completely disagree with that sentiment. Everybody cares, or they wouldn't be human. What they actually are is captured by a system

Everyone knows right from wrong - that is morality. Only those with integrity uphold it. Let's state that again, shall we? Morality is a choice, derived from knowing right from wrong, that those with integrity do not compromise.

Hello Ernie,
There are many problems I have run into when thinking about right and wrong.
As you suggest the systems are criminal (to put it mildly) but very few even grasp that and even fewer do anything about it.
We also have an evolutionary history where women are less, and the alpha male is right. It is built into our biological proclivity and reinforced constantly by messages and force by society.
So what is moral, what is right?
Very few people try to ask those questions and go off in search of answers, Wade may offer some answers, but we still have to use our brains and discern for ourselves. For me reading evolutionary history and knowing contemporary history from the losers side (although now I live in the US and have "made it") helped.
Heck I cannot get my family to read Hunger and Public Action.

If as you assert everyone knows right from wrong, then we are all born bankrupt and will live our lives that way.
If you are talking about small morality of be nice to your neighbors, that is not really morality, it is just being social. And being social is one of our fundamental attributes. Being social in being human, being social allows us to survive, and also to kill outgroups etc.
In US there is a lot of talk about immigration, I can summarize it as "they" are the outgroup. Thats it. Because if we look at the numbers over the last 20 years, people trying to cross the border dropped, and will continue to drop as the number of babies born per year has stabilized and other countries are getting richer so they dont care about moving to USA anymore. However contemporary debate assumes that immigration to USA is increasing and will continue to increase (the opposite is true).
When people cant even look beyond their immediate daily lives, they cant think about right and wrong.

[Krishna]

Krishna likes Ian Morris’s work, for good reason. There is a lot to commend about his work. However, that white male bias bled through all of the time.

I always enjoy scholarship, especially when they atleast try to grapple carefully and thoughtfully with the world, and have new and important insights. Ian Morris is certainly one of them, lower of the scale Daron Acemoglu (Why Nations Fail) is in the same pattern. Peter Ward, Frans De Waal, Richard Wrangham are all very interesting too.

However I cant read Ian Morris books again, the bias was just too much for me. Same with Daren Acemongolu. However not reading white male scholarship means that I miss a lot, so I hold my nose and read. It is not easy.
The scientific books are easy, and I will read any upcoming books by Ward, De Waal, Wrangham.

Hi Ernie (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1303804&viewfull=1#post1303804):

In brief, to the extent you think that this thread is about debate, you do not understand what I am doing. I intended this thread for people to hit the notes, not debate, which I generally find to be pretty useless. I find your ideas of morality and integrity to be confused, and I said all that I am going to on the subject with you.

You have made it very clear that you see no value to what I am doing, and whatever notes you are hitting are not the notes that I came here to hear. Most of the people that I interact with at Avalon joined it to interact with me, and what we are doing works for now.

In summary, I do not have what you are looking for and you do not have what I am looking for. Can we leave it at that? I let you throw your stink bombs here, which you do most of the time that you post here. Don’t you have better things to do with your time? The universe, the world, cyberspace, and Avalon are big places. There is no need to go on the attack here like you do.

If you want to interact with Krishna, who is one of my best pupils, be my guest, but I’ll not get involved with you again, and if you do want to “debate” with Krishna, can you do it on another thread?

Good luck on your journey.

Best,

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1304172&viewfull=1#post1304172):

I read some of Why Nations Fail, and as you noted, there is not a word about energy in it. There is way too much of that kind of scholarship out there, and it will always fall far short of a comprehensive view, or even try to get cause-and-effect relationships clearer, which is arguably the entire purpose of science. On reading stuff that you know is going to have its problems, Noam says that same thing about the media. He said that to understand the Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) does not mean never consuming the media again, but to do it with one’s eyes open, with the critical radar up.

Yes, de Wall, Wrangham (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), and Ward (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ward) are some of the best out there. For me, I’ll always read Nick Lane’s latest (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#lane), when Ed was alive, I looked forward to his monthly Z Magazine articles (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#loot), and I loved to hear Brian talk about free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#new) and related matters. If I put aside my recreational reading, mostly fantasy, whom else am I a fanboy of who is still active? Well, I would have to put Roads (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) there, although I have not read his work for many years. Uncle Mike (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Parenti) is no longer an active writer, it seems, but at 86, I understand. I just toured my library, and I did not come up with any new names, for people who regularly publish.

My list of writers who influenced me, including the above, and deeply at times, is a long one, and includes:


Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), of course
Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm)
Christopher Bird
Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm) and Mike (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#parenti)
Carl Sauer (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#carl)
Ward Churchill (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#churchill)
David Stannard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Stannard)
Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller)


I also have to admit that Jared Diamond and even Ian Morris had their impact on my thinking. I got a lot out of Brian Fagan’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_M._Fagan) work, and even Richard Heinberg (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm) gets a nod.

Of course, I have my mystical influences, and Richard Bach (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#studies) was one of the earliest, and the Seth (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth), Michael (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael), and Ra (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#ra) material is about the best out there.

I put Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574), Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), and even Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) into a different category. They largely just chronicled their odysseys, and their personal courage was greater than what you would find combined in almost any room full of academics, or any group of people. Not many like them walk on Earth today. Their mere chronicling of their experiences blows the tops off the heads of most readers.

I am sure that I could come up with more names if I thought about it more. Far more often than a series of books by academics, authors will produce one work that they became known for. They may have done other things, but one stands as their magnum opus, and it towers over their other work. I have many such books in my library. Ed was never going to surpass Manufacturing Consent, Ward Churchill will never surpass A Little Matter of Genocide, Stannard’s American Holocaust may never be surpassed, by anybody, and Howard’s A People’s History will be what he is primarily known for a century from now.

I know that I will never surpass my big essay, and I’ll just keep revising it until I can’t anymore. If I turn an abridged version of it into a book, that will likely be the only one that I will ever publish.

Best,

Hi:

There are times when I need to reiterate what I am doing, and this is one of them. My life’s odyssey began at a young age, and by age 16 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do with my life. Then I had a voice in my head guide me to it (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2)), in ways that most people find preposterous, and even I marvel that it happened like it did. But if you had told me what the next few years had in store for me (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), when that voice told me to move to Seattle, I would have never believed it. When the dust finally settled four years later, my life had been ruined, but I was awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765).

I had been studious from the time that I could walk (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), and after I staggered out of my hometown (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), radicalized, I began to hit the books (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739), and I never stopped. To this day, I get approached by people who think that my work is about a bunch of book-learning. They could not be more wrong. If I had not been awakened, the past 30 years of study would have been an exercise in naïveté, and my writings would not be worth reading.

I carried the spears in five different efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), and that is where my important learning experiences came from, not reading. Reading is just getting information. What is done with the information is what is important. I rarely encounter people who understand, and generally, it is because they have yet to awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), and if they did not care in the first place (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), whatever awakening experience they may have had did not make them fit for what I am doing.

During my odyssey, I saw many lives wrecked and even prematurely terminated (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3), and I decided long ago that whatever my studies led to, I did not want to be responsible for any more carnage, no matter how pure my intentions may have been.

I have interacted with the public ever since I became Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614), and anybody who has followed my public writings has a pretty good idea of what my interactions with the public are like. I have had thousands upon thousands of interactions, and those interactions helped shape my efforts, as I got a sense of what I had to work with. That learning curve has never ended, partly because I am attempting something (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) that has never been done before. The biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is not an easy nut to crack, and few people can even brush up against the subject matter without reacting in some way, and I have seen it all over the long years. Some go certifiably insane and needed to be institutionalized, others go on the attack, others flee as fast as they can, and a whole range of reactions in-between. I can name that tune in about one note anymore, and extremely few people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) really have any idea of what I am trying to accomplish, and I learned long ago to cut my losses, with time-wasters, quick-study artists, trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), and the like, and to relinquish any judgment of the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). It is just what it is. I only have so many good years in my life left to me, and I am trying to make them count.

I have experienced or witnessed the many ways to fail in this task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), and my effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) seeks to avoid the life-wrecking and life-ending pitfalls (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls), and I am not going to waver in my commitment to that. If nothing else, my path has been teaching me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :)

My life is way too busy, as usual, and I need to bear down and get my essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447) done. The plan is to publish it next year, and we’ll see how it goes. I might make a few strategic changes in my direction, but I am sure not going to water down my work to make it more “popular.” That would be the path to nowhere. We all have to raise our games if we want to make a dent.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I was hiking with a pal yesterday, and he mentioned his confusion over the Global Warming issue, and I wrote him this email this evening…

I have been following the Global Warming issue for about 30 years. What you see in the media can be very misleading. The basics of the issue are not debated among scientists. What is happening has been very politicized, and began with what I have called the Hydrocarbon Lobby (as have others). As Global Warming began to become a visible issue about 30 years ago, among climate scientists, the Hydrocarbon Lobby pulled the same stunt that the tobacco companies did at about the same time. In 1992, an EPA report came out on the toxic effects of second-hand smoke and named it a “Group A human carcinogen (https://www.greenfacts.org/glossary/def/epa-cancer-classification.htm#a1).” Phillip Morris had been in bed with the AMA since the 1930s (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#cigarettes), as its Journal was filled with tobacco ads making health claims, of all things. When the EPA report came out, Phillip Morris funded an effort to attack the EPA’s findings, and one of its shills (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#milloy) coined the term “Junk Science” to attack the EPA’s findings and to help forestall the lawsuits that were coming. In the 1980s, the tobacco companies were on the defensive, as their markets withered in the wake of bad publicity (but not that bad (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#tobacco)), and they used the Reagan administration as a bludgeon to coercively break open several Asian markets (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#sanctions), as they targeted women and children with ad blitzes. When you see smoking Japanese and Korean tourists in Seattle, they are literally the victims of that effort.

It was in those very same years that the Hydrocarbon Lobby, mostly oil companies, but coal companies were also involved, used the same tactic of putting some compliant scientists on its payroll to make the case against Global Warming, because just as Phillip Morris knew, the hydrocarbon companies knew that their products caused harm. Cigarettes only wiped out lungs, but burning hydrocarbons threatened to have a vastly larger impact. My astronaut buddy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), Brian, worked with one of the first scientists to sell his soul to the Hydrocarbon Lobby, Fred Singer, who had already attacked the EPA for its second-hand smoke findings (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Singer#Second-hand_smoke). In fact, Singer even used the Phillip Morris-coined term “Junk Science” to attack the EPA, and Phillip Morris literally funded Singer’s “research” to “debunk” the EPA’s findings.

Singer then went on the offensive against the Global Warming idea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Singer#Global_warming), while literally consulting for the oil companies, and he was the ringleader of about six scientists in the 1990s who led the attack on the idea that Global Warming could be a real phenomenon, and our corporate-friendly media gave them a respectable hearing. That is what began the entire controversy that we still see today. Fred tried to recruit Brian into the lucrative program of being a Global Warming “skeptic,” but there was no way that Brian would bite, with Brian’s being who he was (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall). Fred was Brian’s mentor early in Brian’s career, and Brian was sickened by what Fred had done. I talked about it with Brian during our epic note-trading session in 2001 (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sacramento). The so-called Global Warming debate in the 1990s was virtually every climate scientist on Earth versus those six “skeptics.” I have presented Global Warming evidence myself (http://ahealedplanet.net/lyman3.jpg), from my backpacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm#lyman). The melting ice worldwide is indifferent to the so-called “debate” today. Once Global Warming became increasingly undeniable, then the “skeptical” fallback position was that Global Warming was real, but humans have nothing to do with it. It is fraudulent from beginning to end, but the media does a very poor job of educating the public on the basic scientific issues, which I am about to do for you. Once you get a solid foundation on the scientific issues, the rest becomes pretty easy.

Carbon and oxygen are the fourth and third most common elements in the universe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_the_chemical_elements#Universe), and were created by the fusion processes in stars. Oxygen makes up 30% of Earth’s mass, but carbon is a tiny fraction of 1% (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#table1). But carbon’s chemical versatility makes it indispensable to life as we know it, and it is 12% of a human body’s atoms.

When Earth formed from the detritus of dead stars 4.6 billion years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sun), its atmosphere was like Venus’s today: almost pure carbon dioxide (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus#Atmosphere_and_climate). That carbon dioxide “blanket” is what makes Venus’s surface hot enough to melt lead. The reason why carbon dioxide does that is because it is a molecule of more than two atoms. Single- and double-atom molecules can’t do it, such as oxygen and nitrogen, which comprise 99% of Earth’s atmosphere. But three-atom molecules and larger can absorb infrared radiation, and here are some nice illustrations of it (1 (https://scied.ucar.edu/carbon-dioxide-absorbs-and-re-emits-infrared-radiation), 2 (https://scilearn.sydney.edu.au/OrganicSpectroscopy/?type=Infrared), 3 (https://scied.ucar.edu/molecular-vibration-modes)). Scientists have known since the late 19th century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tyndall#Molecular_physics_of_radiant_heat) that carbon dioxide traps infrared radiation. So does water, and atmospheric water is even more responsible than carbon dioxide for the greenhouse effect that warms Earth. Otherwise, Earth would have been a chunk of ice for the past four billion years or so. Here in Seattle, the clear winter nights are the cold ones, not the cloudy ones, as that cloud blanket traps the escaping infrared radiation. If an atmospheric molecule can trap a photon, and it does not matter that it is soon emitted, that capture will raise the temperature higher than it otherwise would be. There is absolutely no debate among any scientists on that issue. Although water is more plentiful than carbon dioxide, it only lasts in the atmosphere for about a week before coming out in precipitation, and its distribution is obviously uneven, while carbon dioxide lasts for more than a century and is evenly distributed. You don’t see carbon dioxide clouds floating by. Scientists also universally accept that carbon dioxide is the “keystone” gas that “sets” the temperature of the atmosphere, not water. There is really not a debate on that.

Over four billion years ago, when Earth’s atmosphere was like Venus’s, Earth was hot as hell, and they literally call it the Hadean Eon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadean). But, unlike Venus, Earth was able to retain its water as a liquid, and the global ocean was a few times larger than today’s, and there was likely no land. However, the water was constantly being cycled into the crust, and by about four billion years ago, Earth had cooled into the water planet that it is today. Earth has what is called a carbon cycle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_cycle), which describes how carbon moves between the crust, ocean, and atmosphere. Carbon enters the cycle through volcanism, and leaves through deposition in sediments. Our coal deposits (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coal1) were formed by a brief “anomaly,” when plants invented lignin (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lignin), and for about 100 million years, nothing could digest it. There will never be another coal-making period like that again on Earth. Marine sediments are where our oil comes from, as another life-created “anomaly, and most that we burn today was formed when the dinosaurs lived (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#anoxicoil), and there will likely never be another oil-forming period like that again.

The carbon in the atmosphere has likely been steadily declining for four billion years, as more carbon has been cycled into the crust than volcanoes belch out. Earth’s volcanism has been waning, and in about a billion years, the radioactivity that powers plate tectonics will decline to the point where the plates stop moving, Earth loses its magnetic field and its ocean, and life on Earth will die out before Earth is engulfed in an expanding Sun, as it becomes a Red Giant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_giant).

Over the eon of complex life, carbon dioxide levels have steadily declined (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#GEOCARBSULF), with an “anomalous” spike about 250 million years ago, when the formation of a supercontinent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pangaeaforms), with its colliding tectonic plates, spurred awesome volcanism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianwarming) that not only ended an ice age and kept Earth hot for the next 200 million years, but the dynamics of the Global Warming event contributed to the greatest extinction event in the eon of complex life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction).

But volcanism began waning 100 million years ago, and carbon dioxide levels steadily declined, with another “anomaly” spike about 55 million years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#petm) (methane might have contributed to that one), but ever since, the volcanism and carbon dioxide levels steadily declined (until the past two hundred years), and by about 35 million years ago, Earth had transitioned from a hothouse period of more than 200 million years to the icehouse conditions that we have today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#icehouse). Some plants, mostly grasses today, even invented a new form of carbon fixation about then (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#c4), which was adapted to the lower carbon dioxide levels.

What I just presented is not controversial in the slightest among scientists today. The ice sheets of Antarctica began forming during that cooling period, and a second cooling period about 14 million years ago is when Greenland’s ice sheet began growing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#miocenecooling), and our current ice age began about 2.6 million years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#quaternary). Today, we live in one of the brief interglacial intervals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceageeurope1). In fact, climate scientists today think that Earth would already be going back to a glacial period if humanity had not begun deforesting Earth several thousand years ago and liberating all of that carbon that was stored in trees. Today, one suggestion that has been getting a lot of play is planting a trillion trees (https://www.livescience.com/65880-planting-trees-fights-climate-change.html) to offset our burning of fossil fuels. IMO, that is not much of an answer.

Some “skeptics” try to play up the Sun’s influence, but it is very stable in its output, although it has steadily increased over the past billions of years and will continue to, until it becomes a Red Giant. The Little Ice Age (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age) had a solar contribution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age#Solar_activity), as did the Medieval Warm Period (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period), but those were minor events, climate-wise, as Earth had about a one degree Fahrenheit warming and cooling. Today, we literally have some people praying for the Sun to save the day with some kind of super-cycle, in which its output drops during the coming generation. We might as well pray for divine intervention instead of changing our behavior.

There is also no debate among scientists, not even the Hydrocarbon Lobby “scientists,” that the 50% increase in carbon dioxide levels since the 19th century is solely due to humanity’s prodigious burning of those hydrocarbon deposits that have fueled our industrial societies. There is no doubt or debate at all. Burning oil, coal, and gas is venting a hundred times as much carbon dioxide today as volcanism does.

When you get a good foundation on the science and then snoop into the Global Warming “debate,” it is all around oscillations and local effects. It is a bunch of trivia and obfuscation. You increase the carbon dioxide level of the atmosphere, it will be warmer than it was, and humans are solely responsible for the increase over the past two hundred years. There is simply no credible “debate” on those issues. I regularly read climate change “skeptics” who try to obfuscate the issue with cosmic rays and other misdirections, but no scientist can or will even try to dispute the logic of:


Carbon dioxide traps infrared radiation and warms the atmosphere;
The hydrocarbons that have powered the Industrial Revolution are solely responsible for the atmosphere’s skyrocketing carbon dioxide levels.


Those are the basics, and no credible scientist will dispute them. The “debate” today is on trivial aspects of the issue. And, as it turns out, the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica are melting far faster than previously thought and the IPCC’s “alarming” predictions of a few feet of sea level rise in this century is increasingly looking conservative. I see studies all the time (1 (https://www.livescience.com/65524-antarctica-ice-unstable.html), 2 (https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/01/east-antarctica-s-ice-melting-unexpectedly-rapid-clip-new-study-suggests)), and I just read about another one just last week (https://phys.org/news/2019-07-instability-antarctic-ice-sea-rapidly.html). And Global Warming is just one of several issues like it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). You and I likely won’t live to see it all unravel, but your daughter might. It is partly why I spend my “spare” time doing what I do (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I wrote quite a bit (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics?p=454&viewfull=1#post454) on the Global Warming issue a few years ago.

Hi:

Real briefly, in my public and private work, I am constantly reminded how difficult it is to understand what I am doing. If nothing else, it teaches me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :)

In ways, what I am doing is deceptively simple, and in others, it is too complex for most people to get a handle on. I learned long ago that they have to want to get a handle on it, and few really do, as they drag around their baggage and can’t let go. Thinking comprehensively (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) is not easy, but where a person’s heart is (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) makes everything else pale in comparison.

The essence of my message is this:


Only two things exist in our universe: energy and consciousness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energy1), and for all of its seeming mastery and sophistication, today’s mainstream science does not know what either of them is.
The journey of life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint), and particularly the human manifestation of it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#path), has been a journey of energy and consciousness.
Each Epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) was established on the foundation of exploiting a new energy source, which delivered a big increase over the former source. There are no exceptions.
Humanity has not lived in “harmony” with nature since our ancestors learned to control fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), and even today, our “advanced” industrial societies are based on the control of fire.
Until now, all human energy sources have been based on the chemical or nuclear energy of stars. None have been harmless or sustainable, and they have never been truly abundant (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance).
In the secret enclaves of the global elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), however, technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) have been developed, which are harmless and effectively limitless, along with antigravity, advanced materials, and other marvels.
Not only have they developed such technologies, and they got extraterrestrial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2) “help” along the way, but they have also ensured that no effort to independently develop such technologies is allowed to survive for long (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make). They not only have lots of help, usually gratis and unknowingly, from lower levels of the global hierarchy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), but the masses are apathetic, ignorant, and trapped by their scarcity-based conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), which is based on fear and survival.
The masses are ignorant and apathetic to not only the promise of harmless and abundant energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), but also the peril of not acting, and time is short (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). They won’t begin to wake up until that abundant and harmless energy is delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and that is OK.
Every Epochal change has been like that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), however, so what I and my fellow travelers encountered was not new on the masses front, although we also acknowledge that the elites have honed their game to a very high level, and making the entire elite game made obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) is their greatest fear. In that way, they are merely acting like nearly everybody else, protecting their position.
While the elites play their games of power and control, the masses play their games of quiet desperation, and for the few that begin to awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), they nearly always spend their lives hacking at branches and not even realizing that there is a root.
I know that if I can find and train a tiny fraction of humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), that the foundation for the next Epoch, and the greatest one of all (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev), will be easily built, as the effort overcomes both the organized suppression and the inertia of the masses.
I have built a curriculum for training those people, and for the few willing and able to understand, I am here to help them.
I am constantly approached by people who have yet to understand, and they try to entice or badger me away from my path onto theirs, and I have yet to see one that was not based on ego, naïveté, or other attributes that would doom such efforts before they even began.
My fellow travelers and I (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) learned the hard way what the hazards, pitfalls (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls), and dead-ends (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) are, and I seek to help my effort avoid them.
I have been at this for 45 years so far, and hope to have another 30 good years ahead of me. We’ll see if my life’s work can make a difference or not.


Time to begin my busy day.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Well, 50 years ago today, Apollo 11 was on its way to the Moon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11#Launch_and_flight_to_lunar_orbit). Although my father quit NASA a couple of years previously (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#apollo1), in the wake of the Apollo 1 disaster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1#Accident), our family still had a keen interest in the Apollo program. When we moved to California after my father’s college graduation, one of our neighbors was a family of Greek heritage. The husband/father was named Arthur, and went by Art. He was the mathematician that I recently wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1776&viewfull=1#post1776), who also died recently (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1777&viewfull=1#post1777). This post will be on those days, and a little remembrance of Art.

If you were an American technical professional, such as a mathematician or engineer, in those days, it was about 50% likely that you worked for the military-industrial complex in some way. My father was an engineer, and Art was a mathematician. In Ventura County, where I was raised, if you were one of those professionals, it was nearly guaranteed that you would work for one of the two local naval bases (1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Air_Station_Point_Mugu), 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Construction_Battalion_Center_Port_Hueneme)). My father worked at both of them while I grew up. My childhood friends’ fathers often worked at those naval bases. Those bases merged in 2000, and it is still the biggest employer in Ventura County (https://www.ventura.org/county-executive-office/about-us/). I have written about my own military indoctrination (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), and won’t belabor it, but it was like the air you breathed, at the height of the Cold War, in a community dominated by the military.

It was not just Ventura County, either. The LA and Bay Area economies were dominated by military companies, called “aerospace” and other terms. When I went to the university in San Luis Obispo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Polytechnic_State_University), one roommate’s father was a career engineer from Lockheed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin) in Silicon Valley, and another roommate’s father was a career executive at General Dynamics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics) near LA. Like my father, Art had been in the military himself (in Korea, like my father was), and when he was our neighbor, I believe that he was a contractor, not a government employee, working for TRW (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRW_Inc.), I believe, but he went back and forth, between government and private industry, which was not unusual.

The Space Race was raging when I was a boy. I now know that JFK tried to end the Space Race, as part of ending the Cold War, and that likely led to his murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big). All sorts of feelings come up when thinking of those times, but on a personal level, they were some of my life’s happiest years. The Space Race was a Cold War project, and the lines between government military employees, military contractors, and the Space Race became very blurry back then. Wernher von Braun and friends began the modern era of rocketry, and they were first used as weapons (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#nazi). Death camp Nazis became American space heroes in those surreal times.

The primary local naval base hosted what was called the Pacific Missile Range (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Missile_Range), and my father spent his entire career, other than the year at NASA, working on it. It was headquartered at my father’s base when his career began, and it eventually included the Vandenberg Air Force Base (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandenberg_Air_Force_Base), and a facility in Hawaii (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Missile_Range_Facility). For anybody up on UFO and NASA lore, Vandenberg is a prominent name, and my father watched missiles launch from the various bases. I wrote about Owen the rocket scientist (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653), but he was not the only one from my childhood. Art was also one. I did not know it at the time, but my father told me tales of Art when I became an adult.

My father worked with the best and brightest, and it was just a “coincidence” that one was our neighbor. My father was in conversations with the cream of the technical talent in Southern California, and once, as somebody was discussing what companies had talent or not, the person said that Art was TRW’s main technical talent. My father then told me of an incident, to highlight Art’s ability.

A missile was fired from Vandenberg, I believe, and, as sometimes happens, the launch was a failure and the missile ended up at the bottom of the Pacific. It don’t know exactly what kind of missile it was, but it was a highly classified one that the American military could not afford to let the Soviet Union salvage from the ocean floor, which was a very real possibility. The problem was that the military did not know where the missile came down, as it was a failed launch. It was a very tense time, and heads were going to roll if that missile could not be found. Art may have been on the government’s payroll at the time, and he was in a position to mention to his superiors that he had been developing a theory, in his spare time, which might be able to predict where the missile would have come down.

No matter how talented Art was, he was what the Navy pejoratively called a “sand crab (http://www.jargondatabase.com/Category/Military/Navy-Jargon/Sand-Crabs),” and when the military brass heard of Art’s suggestion, they dismissed it. However, they didn’t have any better ideas, and an admiral who needed to have the missile found, and did not care who found it, overrode the brass and ordered them to search where Art’s equations predicted that it might be. They did, and found the missile.

When we moved to Houston, Art’s family moved to the far side of LA, and when we returned the next year, our families got together whenever they could, and I have attached a picture of Art and my father laughing, probably at one of my father’s jokes. I also attached a picture of the kids of three families from that neighborhood where we met Art’s family. I am the blond kid to the left. Those were some of the happiest, if not the happiest days, that my family ever had.

A decade later, Art and his wife divorced, as my parents did, but I still keep in touch with Art’s oldest son, who was a Navy flier who became an MD when the Cold War ended.

Art was from Massachusetts (first generation American), and when I lived in Boston with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=611&viewfull=1#post611), I visited Art and his new wife. Art was the person who told me how corrupt East Coast law enforcement was (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=629&viewfull=1#post629), and I scarcely knew what to make of it. Art treated me like a son, and he was definitely one of my life’s father figures. He was an unassuming, good man, and he had a good run. Art will be missed.

But 50 years ago this weekend (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_1969#July_20,_1969_(Sunday)), Art’s family came up from the far side of LA and we watched the Apollo 11 moon walk at our home, as Art and my father whooped it up. It was one of my more vivid childhood memories.

Found 2 articles on the Super Predator, top predators are afraid of our voices, and those that are afraid survived as in Africa (and elsewhere) or died because of us.


The Disturbing Sound of a Human Voice (https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/07/humans-predators-mountain-lions-landscape-of-fear/594187/)
Hearing people talk can terrify even top predators such as mountain lions, with consequences that ripple through entire ecosystems.


Humans: The Hyperkeystone Species (https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/06/humans-the-hyperkeystone-species/487985/)
The last paper from one of the world’s greatest ecologists challenges his peers to think about humanity’s influence on the world.

I am familiar with that starfish experiment, especially since it was done in my backyard. I have examined the tide pools in the vicinity of Paine’s experiment. I have witnessed how humans frighten off the top predators in my local woods. The human impacts on Earth’s ecosystems have been awesome, beginning with driving the megafauna to extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna). I find myself thinking about how even the “wilderness (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm)” that I hike in has been altered over the millennia by the human presence. Elephants (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elephantsuccess) used to roam it.

The dream that I have of this Earth (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) might seem impossibly far away, but I also know that with free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), it is not so far off.

Hi:

I guess that I should have suspected it, but I wasn’t really thinking of it. Headline stories are coming out on why the faked Moon landing conspiracy theory still has legs (1 (https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a28438302/moon-landing-50th-anniversary-conspiracy-theories/), 2 (https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a28438302/moon-landing-50th-anniversary-conspiracy-theories/), 3 (https://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/how-moon-landing-conspiracy-theories-spread-before-the-1835483705), 4 (http://theconversation.com/how-moon-landing-conspiracy-theories-began-and-why-they-persist-today-118643), 5 (https://www.livescience.com/65911-moon-landing-footage-impossible-to-fake.html)). The 40th anniversary was similar (http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1860871_1860876_1860992,00.html). Actually, I was planning to write an addendum to my post on Art (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799) and those happy childhood days, before I saw the headlines today. It is a top story at Yahoo! as I write this. The year before the Moon landings, RFK and MLK were murdered, and I am fairly certain that it was by the same interests that took out JFK (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower). Now, there is a conspiracy theory with legs, and any cover-ups about space events are about UFOs (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), not faked Moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo).

Not only did the USA use death camp Nazis (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#nazi) to go to the Moon, and I have a new anecdote on that that is coming, but in 1969, the USA was in the midst of the greatest crime since Nazi Germany’s, as it committed genocide in Southeast Asia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#genocide), and even outdid the Nazis at times (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#newsweek), operated a torture school (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#torture), etc. The land of the free. In my days of innocent childhood, I was oblivious to all of that, including Mr. Mentor’s invention of a bomb that would end war (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#introduction), which the Pentagon quickly suppressed.

Brian got swept up in the Moon landings issue, to his lasting regret (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#statement). As I think about this subject matter, I could write for years on these topics, but I already have. :) I’ll just finish up with a new anecdote that I have not told before.

When that space debunker attacked Brian’s Martian credentials (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/91-Scientific-literacy/page3?p=556&viewfull=1#post556) after I got his NASA bio published, I asked Brian for some ammo, in case I had to do battle with the debunkers and NASA. That was when he informed me that he believed that it was Alan Shepard (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars) who said, “You’d better be willing [to go to Mars]” in Brian’s astronaut interview. Brian added that von Braun was the reason why Brian was selected, as the first talent in the stable to go to Mars, which motivated von Braun for many years. The Moon was just a stepping stone for von Braun.

This came to mind because I was rereading some of my Operation Paperclip books last night. I still find it kind of mind-boggling that the USA eagerly hired death camp Nazis (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#gehlen), with even a case of hiring a physician (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Becker-Freyseng#Trial_and_work_with_the_USA) who had already been convicted of performing human experiments in the death camps. The USA found them useful, so a whole bunch of death camp Nazis got whitewashed and went on the USA’s payroll, and many of them became heroes in the Space Race, even hosting a Disney show (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#nazi). And we all watched, rapt, as Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the Moon.

When Brian mentioned that von Braun was why he was hired, he said that he heard it from one of von Braun’s German colleagues. Brian stated that it was a “bald” one, who told Brian, long after his astronaut years were over and von Braun was dead. I had no idea who that could have been, but Brian acted like I would know, as if “bald German” was enough. I filed it away in the back of my mind. Last year, in the wake of my adventures with Wikipedia on Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), I bought several more Operation Paperclip books and read them. I studied the subject 20 years ago, but had not taken a recent spin until I began reading books on Allen Dulles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles) and his penchant for Nazis, such as Karl Wolff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Wolff) and Karl Blessing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Blessing).

As I read the grim tales of not only the Nazi activities, but how the USA covered them up, it began dawning on me that the bald German that Brian told me about may well have been Arthur Rudolph (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Rudolph)! Could a name like that really have slipped Brian’s mind? It could have. That was the year before Brian died. Rudolph was definitely von Braun’s most famous bald German colleague, and before the Nazi hunters got him, he was living a famous and honored retirement in California. It could well have been him that Brian referred to. I am amazed that it might have been Rudolph. I am far from sure of it, but it seems possible, even likely.

Hi:

I am sympathetic to people who just can’t take in my journey and those of my fellow travelers. If I ever got to tell it all publicly, hardly anybody would believe it. A great deal of it is documented very well, and I do what I can (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new)), but a great deal can’t be. When the CIA offers you a billion dollars to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), before they lower the boom on you, such an offer won’t be in writing, and the courts will not be used to enforce such a contract. Those players sit high above any court on Earth. They do not shrink from using violence to enforce their will, but they can be very subtle in its application (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tactics). All that an outside observer will see is a string of untimely and suspicious deaths (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), and the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” can be counted on go into overdrive to explain it all away as a “coincidence” or delusion, but I have always seen either deep and even criminal dishonesty accompany such debunking, or naïveté of the kind that one might encounter in a grade-school classroom.

When a dissident faction of the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) “invites” you to an underground demonstration of exotic technology, your “invitation” is to be kidnapped (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173), so there is once again no documentary trail, and you don’t even know where you were taken to or by whom. When Brian and I had our epic note-trading session (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sacramento), Brian was more blown away by my CIA contract agent relative (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia) than he was my friend’s underground show, which he did not see as very remarkable. If I named the household-named diplomat who came to my home to meet with my relative, most readers would be blown away, too, and denial would rear its head in most people who encountered that information. I have many wild connections to the events that I write about, most of which I am not at liberty to publicly disclose. When people such as David Rockefeller (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) or Owen Dykema (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653) die, I am freed to reveal a little more. But a great deal I will never be at liberty to disclose publicly, to protect the innocent, the guilty, and myself. If began naming some of the names that I know, I am going to go higher on the radar (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic), and I don’t need that. I don’t need high visibility to do what I do. Going on Oprah’s show is not going to help, and somebody like me would never be on a mainstream show, anyway, other than to be a disinformation target. I watched Dennis get slandered and libeled (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707) in the media almost since the day that I met him (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news). I would not fare any better, while people such as Mr. Skeptic (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) become media darlings, as they lie out of both sides of their mouths.

Because of the nature of this milieu, nearly anybody can come forward, without a shred of evidence, and claim to be some “insider” who is able to publicly talk about their “experiences” on the inside, or claim to have an inside track to what is happening at the GC and spook level. My advice is to take all such “revelations” with a grain of salt. Whistleblowers such as Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm) are the Real McCoy, and you can take what he revealed to the bank. When Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer) testified under oath, that was impressive, and nobody in my circles was too surprised when Greer’s team suddenly began dying of strange cases of cancer (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak).

One reason why so much of my work is well-documented science and history is to help ground my readers. Too many want to dive straight into the spook and conspiracist stuff, and few are grounded or worldly enough to handle that journey, and they fly off in all sorts of crazy directions. People can end up in mental institutions when they begin grappling with that material. I have seen it happen.

With the latest blow-up at Avalon, for the first time in several years, I read some Avalon threads to see what was happening, and it was no surprise to see how various conspiracist “insider” talking heads have been exposed as poseurs. I don’t like naming names, but it is not difficult to discover whom I am referring to. Those poseurs were feted on the New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage)/Conspiracist talk circuit, as they spread their disinformation to the credulous. They never had a shred of credibility with me from the outset, and I was bombarded with their latest breathless pronouncements. That disinformation circus is exactly what Ed Mitchell talked about (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page3?p=416&viewfull=1#post416), and serves to muddy the waters so much that sane people avoid the topics altogether. I have repeatedly tried to tell such credulous dupes that they were spreading disinformation, but it didn’t even slow them down. Very few New Age/conspiracist efforts that I see in cyberspace validly deal with legitimate issues, but are part of the three-ring circus of disinformation that dominates these topics.

I watched part of an apology by a Hollywood producer who provided credibility to some of those poseurs, and the entire approach, of using Hollywood production values to bring “credibility” to the topics, is a highly dubious strategy from the outset. People should not get their “education” from Hollywood productions. Movies and TV are powerful mediums, but you really can’t learn much from them. They are there to entertain, not inform. By and large, it is a poisoned well, and those passive mediums don’t encourage people to think and get out of their armchairs and go hunting for the truth. The truth is not going to be spoon-fed to us. As Noam said, if we want to truly learn, we have to do the work.

I am doing something very different from the standard New Age/conspiracist fare, but I get tarred with the same brush repeatedly. For those whom I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why), they will eventually understand, but only after doing the work.

Best,

Wade

Just ran into Project 100,000 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_100,000) (yikes wikipedia). Wade talked about cannon fodder, I should not have been surprised or horrified, but I am. There is a video on youtube that I heard (not linking to it).

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1305235&viewfull=1#post1305235):

Well, it is topical, anyway. Oh God, the terrible tales I have heard over the years. They were cleaning out orphanages back then, scouring for the cannon fodder. I was thinking of making a post on the many stories told me first and secondhand, of those days in Vietnam. Not because I sought them or wanted to play scholar, but it just came with the territory of being an American man of my generation.

Using Vietnamese for target practice (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#interrogate) (that one was even new to Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), who thanked me for publishing it), torturing captives to death in a festive atmosphere, killing them with one’s bare hands, and on and on. Many operations were “off the books,” in that the personnel were not officially on the missions (and many were contract agents, not even on the government payroll – AKA mercenaries), and many like Dennis ended up in Vietnam that way (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=778&viewfull=1#post778), in operations that will never be made public. One friend was actually brought to a base in handcuffs. Then they were taken off, a rifle was put into his hand, and he was going to be shipped ship off to Vietnam the next day (he deserted that night). Nerve gas missions to kill deserters (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#tailwind), and a list of horrors that outdid the Nazis (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#newsweek) at times, have not been easy to learn or write about.

It was an honor and labor of love in many ways to write Ed’s bio, but one of the “best” parts for me was helping Ed’s writings on Vietnam live on in cyberspace, at least. His first two political books (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early) are becoming rare, and they were all about Vietnam.

So, I am not going to write a long post on the many stories told to me by the participants and those who knew them. I am going to go to bed and read a little fantasy, and wake up not trying to recover from writing a harrowing post. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Well, today is the 50th anniversary of that famous walk on the Moon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11#Lunar_surface_operations). I have been writing about it lately (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799), and the many facets of it in American life and my life, from the whole faked Moon landings issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1801&viewfull=1#post1801) to the awesome imperial crimes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1803&viewfull=1#post1803) that my great nation was committing at the same time, and there are many other issues to write about, connected to those days. My earliest stark memory of American life was watching JFK’s funeral when I was five. He was killed in a backfired covert-op (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower) that was likely related to his efforts to end the Cold War. JFK proposed a joint mission to the Moon with the Soviet Union, which would have effectively ended the Space Race. The ET issue was entwined with it (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), and that may well have been the last straw for the people who took him out. My next stark memory was watching the funeral of the Apollo 1 astronauts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#apollo1), and my father bailed out of the Space Race a few months later. The year after that, RFK and MLK were murdered, likely by the same interests that took out JFK, and American politics began seeming like a shooting gallery to my young mind.

The next year, Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the Moon, and the Mets won the World Series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_World_Series). Our teacher let us watch the final game on TV in the classroom (at Junípero Serra Elementary School (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra)). Mr. Mentor had already had his bomb that ended warfare suppressed (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#introduction), and he had already invented his engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), and the year after Apollo 11, the USA hit Peak Oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil) and my family went health nut (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), which was really the beginning of my awakening, in a process that took nearly 20 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765), which culminated on the witness stand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681).

According to Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), whom I always take seriously in matters like this, Armstrong and Aldrin encountered ETs on the Moon (https://siriusdisclosure.com/neil-armstrongs-ufo-secret/), and both came back to Earth “changed” men. Armstrong took a very low profile, and Aldrin was so rudderless that he tried selling cars before Brian got him a job (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#saic). Brian’s life was shortened, courtesy of the American military (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), when he began poking into the UFO issue. I could other tell “insider” astronaut and UFO tales, and they were all covered up. The establishment lies through its teeth on that issue, as usual (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm).

So, as I watched those astronauts walk on the Moon as my father and Art whooped it up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799), I literally had no idea what lied ahead of me, or how that day would become a marker in my life, in several ways.

Time to begin my busy weekend.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I just completed the task of changing all of the notes in my big essay into the style that I adopted when I wrote Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm). That was the main housekeeping task on my plate before I started revising it. It was kind of a dreaded task, and it is over now. I had to rummage through my library to find the cited books, so that I could add the year of publication for the versions I use. I have several stacks of books in my office now, which I will now return to their shelves. I made a big push this morning to get it done, before I tackle other chores.

My library’s organization falls a bit short of a library’s reference system, but it works well enough so that I usually don’t have to spend too long to find a book. But, sometimes, it becomes a real snipe hunt, and there have been times when I just bought another copy of it, rather than spend hours looking for it, and I unintentionally have multiple copies of a few works. That is not ideal, I know, but I am doing the best I can with what I have to work with, with the demands on my time, which are considerable, and I am not getting any younger.

When digging through my library in that way, it almost becomes a scholar’s life review, as each book that I see brings up memories around it, such as when I bought it and why, what I got out of it, etc. I have not read all of the books in my library, alas, but I try. There won’t be enough years in my life to, but what I am doing will have to be good enough for now. I have a unique message and style, as I attempt to get my ideas across to my target audience.

From Chomsky to Limbaugh, from channeling to physics, from history to fantasy, the two thousand volumes of my library cover quite a spectrum. While doing my note revisions, sometimes it got maddening to think about the scientific books that deny or minimize the human contribution to the megafauna extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna). It felt a lot like the “scholarship” that denies or minimizes the American role in the genocide in Southeast Asia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early), or blames the communists for it, or, incredibly falsely portrays Noam and Ed as Khmer Rouge supporters (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia). When I encounter that kind of “scholarship,” it is only another reminder of my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708).

To try to make it clear for the hundredth time, which some people seem to be unwilling or incapable of understanding, I am doing something very unique, and scholarship and science has its place, in helping my readers develop a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). To be proudly scientifically illiterate because of the limitations of the enterprise (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox) is like being proudly illiterate because not every word in every book is the literal truth. And when I get those kinds of responses, those very people turn around and parrot the New Age/Conspiracist gossip of the day, such as the idea that there is ET DNA in the human genome. Maybe there is ET DNA in the human genome, but that conclusion is not going to be reached by how I have seen it gone about in New Age circles. Molecular biology is a very young science, and there are no known changes to human DNA that require some kind of ET explanation. Only people playing to scientifically illiterate audiences can get away with making statements like that and not being laughed at.

About 20 years ago, and partly because of my past associations with Dennis, I would get approached by people who wanted to share with me a Biblical “science” that argued that Earth was only 6,000 years old and that evolution was invalid. And when I would dip into it, the material did not hold up to the slightest scrutiny. It was a strange and educational experience. There are literally people today who present and believe “scientific” evidence that Earth is flat (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth). One pal has a friend who is onboard with the idea. A great deal of alternative scholarship and science is at about that level of validity. There is a mountain of chaff out there on the fringes, along with a few kernels of wheat.

I followed the Velikovsky issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky), and read a great deal of material related to it, beginning in about 1995, which led to the Electric Universe people, Sitchin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zecharia_Sitchin) and friends, and so on. None of it was valid that I could see. Literalist interpretations of ancient texts, to support arguments that Venus erupted from Jupiter’s Red Spot and nearly hit Earth before it settled into its current orbit, or that Nibiru is out there, bringing the Anunnaki with them, is way out there and not the way that professional scientists and scholars go about their business, and for good reason. Those kinds of interpretations are little more than gossip and generally fly in the face of everything that professionals have learned about those subjects. Try to find a Sumerian scholar who believes in the literal truth of the King List, especially the antediluvian rulers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumerian_King_List#Antediluvian_rulers), with reigns of 20,000 years and more. The Anunnaki stuff rests on a foundation about that firm.

The tales of the Old Testament are just that: tales (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales). Interpreting them literally is pretty bizarre, frankly, but Biblical literalists think that there is some kind of magic involved, to bring God’s Word to the faithful, somehow surviving the distortions of the priesthood, translations, interventions by kings and emperors, to arrive pristinely to people today, in Shakespearean English, no less. The last time that I saw Dennis, I had to hear about how the Bible was the literal truth and Word of God. It all teaches me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :)

Maybe because I write a lot, it takes a lot for writings to impress me, and I am keenly aware of their limitations. But to be illiterate or scientifically illiterate is no solution, IMO. I work with what I have.

Best,

Wade

With the latest blow-up at Avalon, for the first time in several years, I read some Avalon threads to see what was happening, and it was no surprise to see how various conspiracist “insider” talking heads have been exposed as poseurs.

Very few New Age/conspiracist efforts that I see in cyberspace validly deal with legitimate issues, but are part of the three-ring circus of disinformation that dominates these topics.



I've been lurking on the threads related to the recent blowup as well. It really drives home the error of assuming the GC's and their divide and conquer tactics, along with their hoarding of resources, is the main problem humanity faces. Not at all, they are just a symptom, and given that many are narcissists/sociopaths, probably have delusions of grandeur and greatly overestimate their power and control. The main problem is US, humanity. We are readily capable of bickering and creating chaos amongst ourselves without outside influence. All it takes is a few people with some narcissism or BPD mixed in to spoil the apple cart.

Thinking back over the past 40-50 years of history, it's good that awareness of how the world works and the GC's tactics has expanded amongst some of us, but really, in terms of those of us who lean towards the conspiracist angle, what has it all been for? Qanon and electing a narcissist like Trump, who scaled back environmental protections? That's the best we can do?! PATHETIC.

I enjoyed Stranger Things season 3 and the recent Avengers movies as much as anyone, but true transformation will be nothing like entertainment stories. On a meta level, people aren't all going to all band together to do good when a crises hits, the most you can expect is for them to band together to fight the outgroup, usually under the sway of a power hungry leader. While there will need to be people working together to change things, it can't be the usual us vs. them consciousness that humanity tends to fall into.

Thanks Chris (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1305701&viewfull=1#post1305701):

Yes indeed, the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are merely a symptom of our collective malaise (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#freeenergy). We do most of their dirty work for them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#attacks), gratis. That recent blow-up at Avalon, which even seemed to kind of spill over into my Avalon thread recently, is a great example of why I do what I do. With the possible exception of Bill, nobody is laying their lives on the line at Avalon, or even close. Heck, Bill’s entire “business model” is getting the stray donation. Avalon’s inspiration is noble, the people doing the work are volunteers and, as Bill wrote, the people involved in this latest melt-down were all “nice” people. And the disputes that led to the melt-down were over issues that don’t amount to anything, and few of the disputants had publicly known identities. They were at no risk at all.

So, imagine what it was like to mount free energy efforts under the capitalist model. Free energy under the capitalist model is beyond the dreams of avarice (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion). I thought that I knew people, even family members, until I walked into that arena. I watched people turn into Orcs lusting after the One Ring. It was the education of my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708).

As Dennis wrote, only “nice people” were able to get close enough to stick their daggers in his ribs. It was always “nice people” who tried to steal his companies (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked). That was why after my first stint with Dennis, I decided that the entire businessman’s approach, even with Indiana Jones leading the charge (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jones), had faint hope of success (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=710&viewfull=1#post710). I have to qualify that a little, however. What we did in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr) did present a threat (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1656&viewfull=1#post1656), so much so that after Dennis refused their billion dollar offer to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), they lowered the boom on us, in a way that we should have not survived to try again. It was only due to Dennis’s crazed persistence that he survived to try again (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), and then we reached new levels of the game, and I nearly went to prison for my troubles (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting). After that stint, I was certain that the businessman’s approach would not work, and it has informed my efforts ever since.

When Brian asked me to found a non-profit with him (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), to merely help educate the public on free energy and its implications, I was game. I should have bowed out even before our first meeting, when one of Brian’s recruits looked at me like I was crazy when I described my radicalizing moment on the witness stand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681). Less than a year later, seeing who was involved, I was begging Brian to let me quit, but I hung in there until the day after our conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland). It did not take long for the some board members to have a mutiny and boot Brian out of the very organization that he founded, and I was not surprised. It was a non-profit!

So, I keep doing what I do, seeking singers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), not soldiers.

Hi guys:

It's been a while.

I just want to drop by and say that it's been quite an eventful life so far. You know what Wade, I think I am in the middle of your phase in life in LA in those accounting firms and working in Corporate America.

I am in almost the same circumstance.

A lot has happened since I last dropped by.

Do you guys know of the Kyoto Animation arson attack lately?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Animation_arson_attack

As an anime fan, it feels like a 9-11 scenario for me. Feelings that are not good are building up inside you and since Japan has a death penalty, you wanted to be part of that lynch mob and execute the man or wish for him to be hanged or given the lethal injection.

It's not a nice feeling.

Speaking of fandom, I told you Wade before about my obsession with Star Wars films and the entire franchise.

Well that is continuing and I've accumulated enough of the Legends/old cannon Extended Universe material as part of it but maybe the recent Disney Star Wars have made me got a bit turned off by the entire thing already.

You know what replaced it aside from those anime series and films? The goddamn freaking good Star Trek.

Reading a lot in the Memory Alpha Wiki. And since getting into Netflix, Wow. The main timeline Star Trek before JJ Abrams remake is so good.

Deep Space Nine is amazing. Odo and Quark are my favorite characters as well as Dr Bashir and Chief O'Brien. Commander Sisko is awesome. Always love that concept of a space station near a wormhole rather than the starships travelling across the stars. That was an interesting twist.

I never got to explore DS9 so much since when I am watching Star Trek on the government channel when I was young, it's either the Original Series or the Next Generation that's been there.

But I do remember DS9 a bit since I remember Quark and Rom, barely, back then.

I think I got too obsessed with a finished galactic government since I always obsessed with a peaceful global cosmopolitan order with universal peace since I was young and my first introduction to Star Wars is the Phantom Menace and its "Republic". And then as I get to know the prequels, then comes the struggle for democracy against space fascism with Jedi spiritual mumbo jumbo at first, which I do love, before getting my radicalization moments that brought me into the space communism of Star Trek and understanding the context of what post-scarcity may appear through the lens of Star Trek more than Star Wars since Star Wars got too much into that continued cycle over millennia in that struggle between "good" and "evil" when it was seem never-ending. Well, with love and with end of scarcity, that struggle will be ending as we knew it.

Star Trek is definitely more radical than Star Wars and while I knew that from a certain level, I did not fully grasp and understand it until recently.

It's like I evolved. Hahaha.

There is not much to say for me really except that I am continuing to have my own journey here and I am trying to articulate all of this in written form in my own way. I may get to publish something here in Avalon again. We'll see. It's just a bit nice that as part of my journey that I got to be here and have more or less the "neo-Fullerian" outlook as early as my early 20s when for Wade and many others, it took them longer and through tougher roads.

But to let you guys know, this thing is definitely lonely and depressing stuff.

We will get out of this. Or at least we have to. For now, just let me indulge with my DS9 and Voyager and even the latest stuff like Discovery. Hahaha.

And just want to add this video related to Star Trek. Interesting first tidbit about the early galaxies. :)

Hi:

Michael Klare has long written about the resource-hungriness that lies at the base of international relations, and oil always tops the list. He wrote a recent article (http://www.tomdispatch.com/blog/176584/) on how American politicians learned long ago to never even mention oil, as they rattle sabers at Iran, invade Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), ignore the Saudi murder of a Washington Post journalist, etc. The pundits follow suit, rarely even mentioning oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate) in their analyses of why the USA invaded Iraq, which the media to this day regards as a noble mission gone awry (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pm20), just as it did the genocide in Southeast Asia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#mistake). If somebody wants to explain that situation, the factors that immediately come to mind are:


Personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (my lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708));
Humanity may not be a sentient species (Brian’s lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience));
Naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), which Brian and I were both guilty of early in our journeys, as all of our fellow travelers were, which seems endemic among Americans (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive), especially professionals.


Take your pick. It is likely a combination of them, and highlights why my task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is like hunting for needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). Awakened people are very few and far between (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) on Earth, and always have been. People are social animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason), and very few ever raise their eyes past their in-group conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) and immediate self-interest, in our world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). On the way to Level 12 (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level12), each level has its traps to a person’s awareness. Probably only 1% or so get past ignorance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0) and denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) on the free energy issue, which can be quite sophisticated (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3).

For the few who get past those early levels of ignorance and denial, a whole host of new pitfalls (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls) await, which swallows up (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) more than 99% of them. There are many ways to become a casualty on the path to full awareness of the issues, including having one’s life shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), and I could write quite the litany on how people miss the mark, from failing to see why scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) matters, to disappearing down conspiracist rabbit holes, and so on. There really aren’t any forums on Earth that are comprised of members with the right stuff, who are awake, who know where the root is and refrain from hacking at branches, etc. If such a venue really existed, we would have had free energy long ago.

I long ago learned that there is no way that I can bait people into caring (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) or waking up, which was Dennis’s great folly (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). All that I can really do is help shorten the learning curve for the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69). Building the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir?p=81&viewfull=1#post81) is going to be the hard part. If that choir ever forms, whether I build it or somebody else does, the rest will be easy.

Best,

Wade

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1305790&viewfull=1#post1305790):

Rising mortality rates are one of many indicators of the USA’s decline in its standard of living since the 1970s and Peak Oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline). The surplus energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#discretionary) delivered by the so-called fracking boom is abysmal (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/227439264_Energy_Return_on_Investment_EROI_of_Oil_Shale).

Hi Serg (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1305826&viewfull=1#post1305826):

Welcome to corporate life! :) No, I was not aware of the arson attack. I can’t really keep up with the mass shootings and the like in the USA. Yes, societal vengeance is a primitive sentiment. Picard would never advocate it. :) Last year, Patrick Stewart talked about why he is coming back as Picard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqaw6m-GhYU), which is mainly about how TNG (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation) inspires people about the future.

I have previously attached an image of my wife and me at the Star Trek Experience exhibit in Vegas, and I’ll do it again. My wife said that it was about as happy as she has seen me, and I’ll not argue about that. Happy to play tactical officer to my wife in the captain’s chair. Here (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/17sm7c/i_ama_former_cast_member_of_star_trek_the/) is a wonderful thread on what it was like. I find myself often thinking about watching my wife drink a Warp Core Breach (https://kurtsthoughts.com/2012/10/20/return-to-quarks-bar-the-warp-core-breach/) at Quark’s Bar, while TNG episodes played on the TV next to the bar. The bartender said that he never got tired of it, and he had been there for eight years. I took some video footage of it.

Trekkies can argue ad infinitum on which Trek was best, and they all had their virtues, but the first three were definitely the most influential, and when TNG and DS9 were on the air at the same time, that was definitely the golden age of Star Trek.

Yes, Star Trek is much more like the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) than Star Wars was. I watched the original Trek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series) when it was on, while we lived in Houston (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), as it was almost a professional duty for my family to watch it. I stopped watching TV at age 18 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102), but I watched an all-day Star Trek marathon just before I moved to LA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928). I did not watch TV again until my wife began watching TNG, when she watched the season finale for season 5 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time%27s_Arrow_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)). We began watching it the next season, which was also the first season of DS9 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Deep_Space_Nine). Today, I’ll spend an hour with my wife, watching something most evenings, but never commercial-interrupted network TV. We just finished the Game of Thrones series the whole way through. We did it several times while the series was on, which means that I have seen the first season five or six times by now. Definitely not the Fifth Epoch. :)

When you get down to it, TNG is the closest thing to embodying the Fifth Epoch that has been on TV, but DS9 was a more adult show in ways, and it had, I believe, the best character arcs in all of Trek. We watched Jake and Nog grow up on the show, and Kira Nerys (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kira_Nerys) may have had the most interesting progression on the show. But my wife liked Garak’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elim_Garak) character the best, and we once just watched the Garak episodes straight through, as we did Q (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(Star_Trek)) shows on TNG. In the Fifth Epoch, there are no galactic capitalists like the Ferengi. My wife’s and my favorite character on Thrones was the Hound (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandor_Clegane), and my favorite TNG character was probably Quark (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark_(Star_Trek)), for the same reason as the Hound, as their nobler characteristics bled through, even though they fought it. Hands down, my wife’s favorite DS9 episode is In the Pale Moonlight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Pale_Moonlight), which is regularly in the top ten of Trek episode rankings.

But for all of its visionary aspects, even Trek at its best still falls far short of my vision for the Fifth Epoch, which is more along these lines (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748). I don’t see much jockeying for position in the Fifth Epoch, command structures, and other vestiges of our human societies. Humanity will have grown out of those phases, and I know that it is hard to imagine, but all Epochal change has been (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). This is one of my work’s primary messages. Even I can barely imagine what life in the Fifth Epoch will be like. If we really want to live in the Fifth Epoch, it will take a Fifth Epoch approach, which is what my choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) idea is all about. All of the failed approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) drag along the baggage of prior and current Epochs, which are rooted in scarcity and fear. The paradigm shift to the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) will be the greatest in the human journey, as humanity becomes a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev). In the Fifth Epoch, abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) and love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest) will replace scarcity and fear as humanity’s primary operating principles. It won’t happen overnight, but once the foundation is established, the rest can happen. Without free energy, it can’t (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity).

Time to go play corporate cog. :)

Best,

Wade

I understand what you are saying about surplus energy. However other countries (Japan, France etc..) have reduced MMR (maternal mortality rate).

At todays extraction rates of energy consumption, everybody can have a decent standard of life. We dont live in that world because we live in a chimp society and that is hardwired.

Sure it is not the fifth epoch and when the energy crunch intensifies it will get really bad really fast.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1306309&viewfull=1#post1306309):

I doubt that it is very valid to compare one industrialized nation to another on the energy consumption pattern, for something like maternal mortality, but it can be used to track the rising and falling standard of living for a nation, such as Japan (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyeconomy) or the USA (http://css.umich.edu/factsheets/us-energy-system-factsheet), and per capita is the best measure today. You can see that the USA’s peaked in the early 1970s, and is down about 15% since then, as its standard of living has fallen. It is not a coincidence.

As has been discussed here, and I’ll do it more in the future, a great deal of so-called “human development” is cheaply done. The West’s demographic transition has been cheaply reproduced in non-industrial nations. But it was only the rising standards of living of an industrializing West that enabled the pristine demographic transition to happen. The rise of science, literacy, public health, and the like all rode on the coattails of that rising standard of living that rode on the coattails of an industrialization that rode on rising energy consumption. Without tapping the new energy sources, and coal in particular, the rest could not have happened.

As with Why Nations Fail, those debates that I saw on the demographic transition did not even mention energy, and as such, are going to have very limited explanatory capacity, debating secondary and tertiary factors while ignoring the primary one. Those kinds of myopic analyses are legion, similar to those pundits who can’t seem to see oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page2?p=1807&viewfull=1#post1807) in the decision-making of the USA’s forays into the Middle East.

What is a valid comparison between energy use and nations is to tell what Epoch they are in, and even what stage, to a large degree. Energy consumption per capita between industrialized and non-industrialized nations is stark. Even though African bushmen can get cell phones, their nations are far from industrialized.

The USA’s per capita consumption is twelve times India’s, and that explains everything about their economic differences of significance. Everything else is noise. Kerala has cheaply reproduced the demographic transition, as has Cuba, which has about a sixth of the USA’s per capita energy consumption. A nation cannot be industrialized on the level of energy consumption that India or Cuba has, even though they can benefit from some of the cheap side-effects of industrial societies, such as the demographic transition, cell-phones, Internet access, and the like.

I’ll be writing a lot more about this in my essay update, and no, I don’t think that chimpness is hardwired. :) Bonobos changed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1), and so can we, and we largely already have, in many ways. Industrial societies are far less brutal than agrarian ones. On that note, I am piling up my books for the first topics that I will revise in my essay update, on chimps, bonobos, primitive warfare, and the beginnings of agriculture and civilization. It might be my most significant revision to my essay, and I am going after it first.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As a brief addendum to Krishna’s (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1306309&viewfull=1#post1306309) and my (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1306366&viewfull=1#post1306366) recent exchange, Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) wrote that before 1970, the means had been developed to provide all of humanity a first-world standard of living. But he also stated that we faced our annihilation at our own hands. His masterwork was titled Utopia or Oblivion. My statement for the choice facing humanity is: The Sixth Mass Extinction or the Fifth Epochal Event? (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth) One of the many paradoxes and shames of the USA is that from the beginning of the English invasion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion), life expectancy for the invaders was higher than in England, as they had invaded the richest continent on Earth, with intact forests and soils, and later, prodigious deposits of coal and oil, to quickly become history’s richest people. As with England and its imperial rivals (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english), did the USA use its blessings to raise Earth’s peoples up? Hell no, they purposely held them down, and inflicted genocide after genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), and enslaved entire peoples. The USA’s record around the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection) is abysmal.

For being history’s richest nation, the USA is a scandal on key human development measures today, far behind other industrial nations. That poor Cuba (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page2?p=1809&viewfull=1#post1809) that I write about at times does not have any homeless people, for all of the “human rights” demonization that the USA has charged it with for the past 60 years, while I regularly hike through a homeless camp, of what are fairly normal people, and 19% of California community college students are homeless (https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/03/08/study-finds-19-percent-of-community-college-students-in-california-are-homeless/). We are becoming “Hobo Nation.”

And try to find the people, anyplace on Earth, to do anything about what is happening (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), other than ineffectual hacking at branches. Good luck with that (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). I learned long ago to relinquish any judgment of the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), and just see if I can make a dent. I seek people who can learn the song and hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and they are going to be needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). I knew that long ago, too. I hope to have another 30 good years ahead of me, and we’ll see how it goes.

Hi:

As I have written (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1647&viewfull=1#post1647), I am going to have a new section of my big essay, introducing concepts that are important for understanding what I am trying to get across. I am going to try to make my work easier to understand, without watering it down. I won’t be playing to imperial conceits (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection) and the like, but I will also attempt to make many of the ideas easier to understand, and that will be partly accomplished by relating them to other ideas, to form that comprehensive framework (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). It does not take that much scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/91-Scientific-literacy) to understand my message. It is written at the popularized science level, not the specialist level.

For instance, when I recently wrote that energy consumption per capita (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page2?p=1809&viewfull=1#post1809) is the best measure for tracking a nation’s rising and falling standard of living, that could be refined more, because energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#discretionary) is really the best measure, and the concept of EROI (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroi) is important, particularly as the USA’s recent fracking boom is mining hydrocarbons of poor energetic value. The USA is mining the dregs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dregs) of its hydrocarbon deposits, which means a declining energy surplus, even as energy per capita consumption can rise or hold steady.

I am also going to get more into the kinds of energy. Food energy will always be the bedrock energetic reality for humanity. That will never change. Societies that produce a lot of food energy but little else are not going to have a high standard of living. Agrarian societies were like that, but even their food production was very vulnerable to the vagaries of the weather, the destruction of the forests (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy) and soils that made agriculture feasible, etc. Agrarian societies, like all human societies for all time, were not sustainable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations).

If energy goes into making food, it can feed a person, who can do work. But if a barrel of oil fed a machine, it could do ten times the work of feeding those calories to a human (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave), and perform feats that are impossible for humans, such as barreling down a highway at 80 miles per hour, or flying across Earth or to the Moon. In that way, biofuels make a kind of sense, but it is also pretty grim stuff, to literally put human-digestible calories into gas tanks.

The standard numbers for Americans are that they consume about 100 times the calories in their diets. To deliver each calorie of food placed in a mouth, about ten calories of fossil fuels are burned. So, Americans consume about 90 times their food intake by using other forms of energy. And multiply one of those calories by the multiplier of ten when feeding engines, and that idea that every American rides on the backs of hundreds of energy slaves begins to become clear, and that explains why we are history’s richest people. Everything else is noise. I intend to make those ideas even clearer than I already have. Then the potential of free energy will become clearer. It makes this world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) feasible, and without it, that world is not feasible (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). I have found that it takes at least some scientific literacy to understand that. Not a whole lot, but some.

You can see New Agers (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) advocate abundance all the time, but like economists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), they don’t understand that energy abundance is the necessary precondition for any abundance concepts. They simply do not understand the basics of how our world works, and as such, their prescriptions are naïve and unworkable.

The people that I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) must get over that hump, just for starters. It is not a heavy lift. What is heavy for people is relinquishing their in-group conceits (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), and that rests on the integrity issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=1280&viewfull=1#post1280). There is no substitute for that. Without that (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), the rest is meaningless. Mutual self-interest won’t get us there, but combined positive intention (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) can.

Hi:

Since the forum can only handle four photos at once, I’ll split it into two posts. On Wednesday, I took my niece to the meadows at Paradise (https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/trip-reports/trip_report.2019-07-07.6089906184), on the flanks of Mount Rainier. So far, this summer’s weather has been cloudy and rainy for much of it, which is not unusual up here, but my niece was hoping for better Seattle weather this summer, in her post-graduate summer, playing between programs. We’ll see if the next two months can make up for a cloudy July.

Paradise is kind of a sacrifice zone among hikers, as it is a pure tourist place, the busiest part of Mount Rainier National Park (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rainier_National_Park), with some of Earth’s most spectacular meadows. The paths are literally paved at Paradise, for good reason, with the hordes of tourists. The meadows are largely roped off, but the Asian tourists had a hard time respecting the ropes, to my niece’s consternation. It must be a bit different in Asia. But the meadows are doing fine. Even as touristy as the park can be, people die there all the time. One tourist died just last week in the park (https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/article233107253.html). People die of stupidity in the Cascades, primarily from falls, drowning, and getting lost and dying of exposure; all are supremely preventable deaths. I have done my fair share of stupid activities (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#bishop) in the mountains, and I am far more cautious in my old age. I can’t afford too much adventure anymore, but I have had my fair share in this lifetime. No regrets.

I took my niece off the pavement, to a little-traveled part of Paradise, overlooking one of Rainier’s many glaciers. It is the most glaciated place in the lower-48 states, with more than 30 square miles of glaciers, but like all of the other glaciers up here, Rainier’s glaciers are rapidly melting, with Global Warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797). I tried to pick a nice day, but this summer, we began in mist, as we soon spotted our first marmot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoary_marmot), on a rock that I have seen a marmot on for every visit that I have made to Paradise, pic attached. We saw about 20 marmots that day, if not more. I eventually stopped paying attention, as there were so many. Hoary marmots have no fear of people, for some of the few animals on Earth that don’t. I told my niece that on days like that one, as we started out in the mist, magic can happen, and a few minutes later, it did.

On a remote corner of Paradise, overlooking a glacier, we found a marmot den that had baby marmots venturing out. I had never seen baby marmots before, and we sat and watched them, from about 50 meters away, for 15 minutes or so. My camera’s telephoto feature was surprisingly good, getting a better view than I could see with my naked eyes. One of the attached photos shows the mother in the photo, to give a size perspective of the babies. They were about the size of guinea pigs. It does not get much cuter than that.

I’ll finish this account with the next post.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

To finish up my trip to Paradise, as we watched the marmot babies (technically, “pups”) venture out, the clouds began to break, although my niece did not see the top of the mountain until we had left Paradise, to her disappointment. Then it got even more magical, as we were alone in fairy-tale meadows, attached. Those white flowers are avalanche lilies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythronium_montanum). After our sojourn was over, then it was back onto the pavement with the hordes. Paradise is also where the most popular route for climbing Rainier begins, and we saw climbers trooping their way up and down the trails. It is kind of a circus at Paradise, but I go about every five years or so, taking people there. For anybody who lives in or visits Washington, they should do Paradise at least once. That patch of pink heather in one attached photo is the kind of patch that you rarely see in the Cascades. The Paradise meadows were aptly named.

On the way home, I took my niece to the closest old-growth forest to Seattle, a relatively small patch next to a glacier-fed river that the loggers spared, and she noticed some Indian pipe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropa_uniflora) that came up, attached. Earlier this month (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1781&viewfull=1#post1781), I noted that it was coming up on my favorite local trail. The high summer is here, and we’ll see if I can make this a good hiking summer, as the previous two were kind of busts. The fat old man can still waddle up the trails, but he needs to lose 30 pounds if he is going to keep doing it much longer.

Hi:

I am finished with Zinnophobia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1745&viewfull=1#post1745). It could have used an editor to tighten it up a little, and it is decidedly informal, with many asides, but it is also a devastating critique of Zinn’s leading critics. It is kind of a Logic 101 class. Uncle Howard’s work is where I got the first inkling that the Columbus story that I was raised with might have been a little askew from reality, and his summary of how American scholarship dealt with Columbus (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn) was seminal. The Zinnophobia author acknowledged it, too, and presented an analogy a lot closer to today’s world.

When Morison published his book on Columbus in 1955 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Eliot_Morison#Later_years_(1953%E2%80%931976)), titled Christopher Columbus, Mariner, it was actually kind of a radical departure from the outright hagiography written about Columbus in days of yore, and I am not taking poetic license with “hagiography,” as there was actually an effort in the 19th century to have Columbus sainted (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#saint). Heck, if they could do it for Serra (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#saint), why not Columbus?

David Detmer, Zinnophobia’s author, wrote that the story of Columbus written by Morison, in which he extolled Columbus’s seamanship, while burying the story of genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide) in a sentence, deep within it, would be like writing a book titled Adolf Hitler, Painter, which would have been a grand, romantic account of Hitler’s career as a painter, and the story of exterminating the Jews (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward) would be buried deeply in the book somewhere, in a sentence or two, but quickly relegated to being a minor blemish in the heroic tale of Hitler the painter. It is nice to see stuff like that, and it is all too rare.

Just finished all the Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny (CARTA) (https://carta.anthropogeny.org/) videos on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1B24EADC01219B23)

it has taken me more than 6 months to get through them, the insights into human evolution are invaluable

we started becoming predator or at least scavenger 2-3 million years ago, and to escape the disease burden we changed our cell coating (sialic acids) so that common diseases at that time could not attack us.

also our common ancestor with chimps/bonobos likely had wider range than chimp/bonobo today. We beat them back into small ecological niches, which changed their biology. Speculatively the common ancestor could have been bipedal instead of a knuckle walker

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1307133&viewfull=1#post1307133):

At 400 videos, I doubt that I will see them all in my lifetime. I see a bunch of papers behind a paywall (https://carta.anthropogeny.org/libraries/ape). Some of the older articles can be available (https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/11/e1701742), and I see books that came out of it (https://carta.anthropogeny.org/research/publications). I see that Wrangham has a new book out (https://carta.anthropogeny.org/libraries/bibliography/goodness-paradox-strange-relationship-between-virtue-and-violence-human). I just ordered it, and another book that he helped edit (https://www.amazon.com/Chimpanzees-Human-Evolution-Martin-Muller/dp/067496795X/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1564317504&refinements=p_27%3ARichard+W.+Wrangham&s=books&sr=1-2&text=Richard+W.+Wrangham). That will have to be good enough for now. I am getting ready to write on warfare and aggression. As I see it, humans are “wired” for benevolence or violence, and the underlying economic (AKA energetic) environment has a huge influence, and very arguably the greatest of all. Make all people on Earth rich, and only free energy can do that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), and I think that the violence gene is going to wither away, and quickly.

Interesting game (https://ncase.me/polygons/) on how small biases affect societies

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1307366&viewfull=1#post1307366):

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), humanity will form one society. There will be no nations, there will be one race (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), one language, people won’t live in cities as we know them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), etc. Differences will be celebrated, not feared. Hard to imagine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), I know. :)

Best,

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

On my Fifth Epoch writings (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and make no mistake, helping manifest the Fifth Epoch is the beginning and end of my game, and without free energy, it won’t manifest, I have made it clear that the transition to the Fifth Epoch will take a generation or two, even after the arrival of free energy. I was raised in a racist (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism) and bigoted household, and even though I put it behind me soon after leaving home, it is something that still has its echoes in my life. My grandmother still saved string while living in her very comfortable last years in Seattle in the 1990s. She never completely shook those years of poverty, living in the Dust Bowl and Great Depression (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas), etc. In my long years of studying the Jewish Holocaust (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward), many incidents have haunted me, and one was an example of how our conditioning stays with us. I once saw an interview of a woman who was raised by her Nazi father in the 1930s, and he continually showed her pictures of Jews, and said, “That is a Jew,” as he drilled her. The woman was interviewed in her old age, and she said that ever since those drills as a child, whenever she sees a Jewish person, that tape plays in her head, which identifies that person as a Jew. She said that it was an involuntary reaction.

Scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) are so deeply baked into people that one might think that it is part of our DNA, and to a degree, it likely is. However, we are far more than our DNA. Genetics plays a minor role in many aspects of humanity. Take breast cancer. One pal is a researcher on the genetic aspect of breast cancer, and the conclusion of research was that only about 3-to-4% of breast cancers had a genetic component. The rest was lifestyle, environment, etc.

The USA, and particularly my community, is a land of immigrants. I live across the street from Microsoft’s headquarters, and my neighborhood and community is a little World’s Fair, with nerds throughout the world coming here to live and work. The immigrants often bring their parents with them, as they all escaped their natal nations, and they have children. While the elderly grandparents often don’t learn English (or learn how to drive – hurray! :) ) and stay in their homes, and wear the quaint attire of their homeland, the immigrant parents often send their children to various ethnic schools in the area, such as German and Russian schools (the kids hate it), and there are Buddhist and Hindu temples a few minutes’ walk from my home, but their children grow up as Americans. Even though they regularly take trips back to their “homeland,” those kids are growing up as Americans, and there is no way that they will want to migrate” home” when they grow up. They are here to stay.

Similarly, let’s say that free energy and related technologies finally come in from the shadows (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal). It will be the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev), by far, but many if not most people are going to have a hard time adjusting to abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) and letting go of their survival mechanisms. They will have been conditioned since the cradle in the ways of scarcity and fear, and they will take much of it to their graves with them, but their children won’t, and their children will grow up in a new super-Epoch that their grandparents could scarcely imagine. The transition from scarcity and fear to abundance and love is not going to happen overnight, but once the foundation is set, the transition will happen a lot faster than the transition to the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4), which is only three centuries old. In rural America, we still have people banging the Bibles of their agrarian religion, and racism and bigotry is still alive and well in the USA, although it is increasingly being driven underground. The grandchildren of those who live to see the Fifth Epoch begin will be taught about those days of racism and bigotry, violence and warfare, scarcity and greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), and will scarcely believe that those times existed.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

What do I hope that the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) eventually looks like and accomplishes? The goal is to have a conversation among caring (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), scientifically literate (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) people, who can raise the conversation to where these ideas become clear:


The role that energy has played in the journey of life on Earth and the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents);
What the transformative effects were for each Epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable);
The transformative potential (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) of free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal);
That free energy technology is already on the planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but sequestered from public awareness and use;
Why all previous efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) to bring free energy technology to the public have failed;
That a so-called choir can help in not only raising awareness of these vital issues, but it can form a strong nucleus that may be able to help support an independent effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), or help insure free energy’s harmless implementation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), or help people understand what the Fifth Epoch means, and other side-effects of the effort. A functioning choir may even encourage the sequestered free energy and related technologies to come in from the shadows.


Avalon is the nice forum, protected and policed by Bill and friends. In virtually every other forum that I have been in, I am assailed by trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) and the admins incredibly pile on (some recent examples 1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=639&viewfull=1#post639), 2 (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=385252)), as I seek those needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). The Internet is increasingly a cesspool, but I hope to help it reach its potential. Even in the nice forum at Avalon, any longtime reader of my thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=91260&viewfull=1#post91260) can see a sampling of what I have had to deal with over the long years. I get the latest gossip on the inventor-of-the-hour, I get people trying to badger or cajole me into doing it their way (and none of them have any experience on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584)), New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) and tinkerer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level6) bright ideas abound, lots of tabloid conspiracism, etc. What you see on my Avalon thread is only a fraction of the interactions that I have with the public. Most of my allies hang out in the shadows. I literally get contacted with stuff like, “I skimmed your big essay this morning, and I am ready for the choir.” Or, “I don’t see the point of what you are doing, and even violently disagree with what you are doing, but I want to help lead the effort,” and so on.

The biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev) is quite a nut to try to crack, and I am trying out a unique approach. It might not make a dent, but it won’t hurt anybody. I am prepared to keep at it until I can’t anymore, and we’ll see how it goes. It is worth one man’s life to try it out, even if it seems to go nowhere. No complaints. An essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay) and book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481) are in my future, as well as more interviews (http://ahealedplanet.net/public.htm#interviews) and visibility efforts, but I don’t kid myself that there is some group out there with the right stuff, searching for people like me, so that they can get involved. I am going to have to roll my own, one singer at a time.

Best,

Hi:

You’ll see some of it soon enough, but one aspect of my essay update will be to go more deeply into the camps that exist among scientists and academia. I have written about them before, but I’ll go into them some more, and they include:


The rich and lean (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mirrortest) interpretations of animal behavior
Uniformitarianism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lyell) and catastrophism
Climate change (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal) versus human impact on the megafauna extinctions
Hobbes versus Rousseau (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hobbes) on ancient human peacefulness


My first essay revisions will be on the Hobbes versus Rousseau issue, and it particularly deals with when warfare began with humans. It is also called the long versus short chronologies, and Otterbein even called it the hawks versus the doves. Richard Wrangham (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary) is considered the leading hawk, tracing back violent conflict back to orangutans. The dean of the doves is Douglas Fry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_P._Fry), and Frans de Waal wrote the foreword of his magnum opus, which was endorsed by Noam and cited by Ed as he shredded Pinker’s imperial valentine (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker).

Alas, I have to side with the hawks. There is far too much evidence of human warfare before the Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3). Otterbein reconciled the long and short chronologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page7?p=873&viewfull=1#post873) in his work, and I think that there is a lot to it. All anthropologists study warfare in an attempt to end it. None of them think that war is a good thing. In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), warfare should end.

Hi:

There are so many reasons why the people that I seek will be needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and I am continually reminded of it. Even for those vanishingly few with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), it is a long, winding road to get there, which is one reason why I make my nearly daily posts. It has taken me a lifetime of training (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm), and study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) to produce my work, including the learning curve of 30 years of writing, professional editorial help, etc.

My levels of the free energy onion (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart) were developed from thousands upon thousands of interactions with the public, allies, and others. Even for those who care (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), are awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), and are willing to try, there are so many pitfalls that await the seeker of truth, much less somebody who wants to help manifest the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev).

Visualizing the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) has proven nearly impossible for people to do, and that is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), even for the few who want to try. I hear objections and well-meaning failure to comprehend it all the time, and it is usually because they are dragging along the ideological baggage of our Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). Some of the challenges include:


Becoming scientifically literate (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox) without becoming scientistically indoctrinated (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle);
Acknowledging the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) without obsessing about them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus);
Getting a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312) while staying grounded, and not getting swept up into the “mystical” milieu, which is full of the deluded and charlatans (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage);
Acknowledging the spook world (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/115-The-Spooks) and “conspiracies (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm)” without becoming paranoid;
Acknowledging the structural aspects of what is happening (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) without making it the only framework of understanding.
Giving up the idea that the members of your social circle have the right stuff for this Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir); nobody’s social circle does.


That list could be a long one, but that is a good start.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

On yesterday’s hike (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1820&viewfull=1#post1820), near the top, I met the only person on the mountain that day that was older than me, and I told him that it was nice to see somebody older than me on the mountain. He replied that he was 65, and asked me how old I was. I replied 61, and he then gave me a fist bump. He gets out weekly, and I told him of my hiking mentors and role models (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page10?p=1146&viewfull=1#post1146), and we vowed to do it as long as we could. A pal at work has me by a few years, still does the highly strenuous stuff, and he told me this week about seeing an 80-year-old woman on top of a big one (https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/mount-dickerman) that I have done (over 20 years ago, but it is too big a day for me these days). I asked him to describe her, and then I told him that I likely met her on top of Mailbox Peak (https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/mailbox-peak-old-trail/) about 15 years ago, as she was training for the Himalayas. What the human body is capable of, if we take care of them.

Nothing new here. Still worth repeating.

"if a male loses his temper and goes completely mad and threatened a female bonobo then she gives a quick call and other females rally to her cause and then they chase the male and the reason the bonobos are able to do that on a very consistent basis is because they live in an ecology in which the females are able to stay together on a very predictable and regular basis which is not true for the chimpanzees I think that what this suggests this is the first case in which it's been really I think relatively convincingly argued that bonobos are self domesticated"

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1308093&viewfull=1#post1308093):

Timely post. In one of the books I read (https://www.amazon.com/Violence-Warfare-among-Hunter-Gatherers-Allen/dp/161132940X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Violence+and+Warfare+among+Hunter-Gatherers&qid=1564752816&s=books&sr=1-1) for my first updates to the big essay, there was a chapter on “archaic” North Americans, of the study of skeletons more than 9,000 years old. Only about 50 such skeletons have been found. The evidence today supports my idea of the Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer). Those so-called Golden Ages did not last long – until the easy meat had been rendered extinct, and nobody today would have called them that golden. One thing has become very clear in my studies over the years: how much the sophistication of scientific investigation has grown. More than 20 years ago, when studying for my medical racket essay, on the conflict of male and female paradigms (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#masculine), I read Ehrenberg’s Women in Prehistory (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4385944-women-in-prehistory), and the state of the science early in my lifetime was amazingly primitive compared to today. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, when a grave was found, the gender of the skeleton was often inferred from the grave goods found with it. That was a primitive as a cave man’s club compared to today. Now, they can extract DNA and sequence it, they can do isotopic analysis and tell if the person grew up in the area or not, and all manner of analysis that was unthinkable 50 years ago. My toolset of science chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toolset) will get a little makeover, on just what has happened in the past decade. And it is not just how the tools improve, but the ingenious ways that they are being used, such as how scientists are now using electron microscopes to tell what color the feathers of dinosaurs (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/1/100127-dinosaur-feathers-colors-nature/) were. Even a decade ago, there was a lot of debate on whether birds were dinosaurs or not. That debate is over today, partly because of the finds in China. Now, we know that dinosaurs brooded their eggs like birds do today, and that a lot of bird behaviors were likely dinosaur behaviors.

There is obviously plenty that skeletons will not tell us about how people lived and died, but there is an amazing amount that they can tell us today. The studies can tell us about:


Their diets, including nutritional deficiencies;
Diseases and infections that they had;
If they died in the region where they grew up;
If they had injuries evident in the skeleton, what kind of injury, and if it led to their deaths;
How old they were when they died;
If their bodies were used as trophies (heads, particularly – that is an easy one, as when it is missing or found separately, and when it had “work” done on it);
Their stature and overall musculature.
If their burial was ceremonial or haphazard.


Gender is one of the first things that they determine, something far removed from 50 years ago. Those early Indian skeletons also had plenty in common with skeletons found around the world during the conquest of Earth by the descendants of the Founder Group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit). While there was easy meat to be had, those people were not territorial, as there was plenty more where that came from, so moving on to the next valley was a ready cure for competition for meat. When the easy meat had been rendered extinct (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), however, it got territorial and violent again.

But, within a society, those people were quite violent, and it actually lines up with that cave man cliché. The men fought with each other for dominance, which generally meant enhanced mating privileges, and the women were definitely second-class citizens who were beaten and killed with some regularity. Intergroup violence seemed rare, but intragroup violence was common. The men would give beatings to their rivals, and skulls were cracked, but generally not lethally.

When the easy meat was gone, however, people settled down, became territorial, and gathering rose in importance, which was women’s work. In the “lucky latitudes,” women began domesticating crops, and those early horticultural societies became the first matrilocal ones in the human line (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1) since before gorillas, and maybe since monkeys (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#monkeysplit). Similar to how bonobos became “gracile” as compared to the more “robust” chimps, as they self-domesticated themselves, the same thing has been found among those archaic humans. The men during the conquest of Earth were brutes, and far larger than the women were. As the easy meat disappeared and humans settled down, the men evolved from robust to gracile. The women domesticated them.

Best,

Wade

Wrangham disagrees with this view. He says men domesticated themselves.

This quote from Sigmund Freud "human life in communities only becomes possible when a number of men unite together and strength superior to any a single individual and remain united against all single individuals"

At this point (https://youtu.be/c2TOxoE5QCg?t=2900) in the talk the slide reads

What favored our low propensity for reactive aggression?
Language based conspiracy -> Proactive (safe) killing of tyrants -> Self-domestication -> Egalitarian males (no dominance based on physical fighting ability). Increased cooperation within group. Coalitional patriarchy

Q 1) Concealed ovulation in humans gives the female a tremendous amount of
agency in terms of selecting for males and particularly selecting for males who
are not aggressive so could you talk a little bit about the role of females in domesticating humans in terms of the choices they made because female choice is a strong selective pressure in humans?

Wrangham) Yeah thank you for giving me that opportunity. So a number of people have written that female choice is probably quite important in domesticating humans. The reason I didn't talk about it is that it seems to me that it's a secondary component, because if a male is a real bully and just insists on getting his way female choice becomes very very diminished in his power. The reason I say that is sort of partly just simple logic but but from what we see with chimpanzees. So you know I know humans not chimpanzees so and we shouldn't use that model too much. But here's what happens with chimps the the male's attack females in a kind of personal way. So each male will have a particular female that he attacks more than any other male does maybe another maybe about two or three females depending on the male and it turns out that the female I that the male who attacks a female more than any other male has a greater than fifty percent chance of being the father of her next offspring. And these attacks are not just when she is sexually receptive but even leading up to that in two or three years before. So what that rather horrifyingly says to me is that if we can imagine ourselves back into a world when we're not nice like we are now but when the males were real bullies like the chimpanzees. Are that female choice would have been much less effective and I agree with you that nowadays we should pay more attention to the ability of women to be able to choose either overtly or covertly as you're applying from the concealed estrus but that's not going to happen until we got a long way down the path of domesticating the males.

Q 2) interesting talk so in one of your slides you showed pretty much a chain reaction of events that started with humans having sophisticated language and then pretty much end up with males cooperating with each other and then kind of suggest that that's the reason why male dominated in today's society so is there a reason why females do not kind of unable to cooperate with each other in a similar fashion?

W) well so the question is why females don't know nowaday's cooperate with each other as much as males do?

Q 2) small stuff like is there explanation why females do not cooperate with each other and possibly we have a more female dominated society rather than a male dominated Society

Wrangham) So this is a huge question about you know contemporary politics and so on about why females don't dominate some societies such as our own in the way that males do is that right? I don't think we have really satisfactory answers to that you know. I think that it's pretty clear that we can go back to the past and understand the relatively simple dynamics of males dominating access through this credibly crude mechanism originally of ultimately execution. And they had as a small group the ability to dominate anybody in the group they could once they got that power they could kill any male who was a non conformist, they could kill any female they wanted to they had the power among themselves. Why couldn't females do the same sort of thing? You know there are many myths in in different societies around the world talking about a struggle between the females and the males and the females get together and try and usurp power just in the way that you're saying and and then there was a fight between the males and the females. I think the easiest interpretation of that is that the males I always characterize it as a time of chaos when the females were trying to run things and it justifies them in maintaining a male supremacy so did that actually happen that females me in some societies came together and tried to cooperate with each other. We don't know but there are very intriguing indications that the style of cooperation among men differs from the style of cooperation among women in ways that may mean that it is harder for women to form large groups. The book that I would refer you to for that is called Warriors and Worriers by Joyce Benenson who is here in the audience somewhere. I think and explores the notion that our evolutionary history has had slightly different consequences for the evolution psychology of men and women such that they can each cooperate equally, well but the style of cooperation is that our women tend to cooperate with in relatively intense ways with smaller groups more like kin groups, whereas men tend to cooperate in shallower ways with wider groups so that's just one more question which i think is going to be able to be answered in the future much better than we can



Kristen Hawkes makes similar points while talking about grandmothers (https://youtu.be/LsWWkT3xfEo?list=PL1B24EADC01219B23&t=829) she says

"And what happens when this life history change, with female fertility ending at the same place happens and longevity increases in our lineage, is we get all these old fertile males. All these old guys, way more fertile males than females. Across all kinds of animals, including even invertebrates. When you have male bias sex ratios in the mating ages, mate guarding comes to be the winning strategy. And in our lineage, what's so especially important is that, now we've got all those old males, what the other guys think of you is really important. Whether you can claim a mate and hang onto her, and their respect really matters"


We get male coalitions in-group that control access to fertility. Self-domestication of men by men. Pro-active aggression in humans is on the same order as Chimpanzees, while it is absent in bonobos. Domestication by women should have reduced both reactive and pro-active aggression. Also this reduction in reactive aggression happened 600 kya to approx 300 kya.

[Wade Frazier]

Thanks Krishna:

Wrangham is always worth listening to, but I am talking about the last 10K years or so, not 600K. His latest books actually should be on my front porch as I write this. Different kinds of coalitions had different kinds of impacts at different times. Big subject, and I'll tiptoe through it in my essay update.

Hi:

I almost did not need to look it up, but the greatest warmonger in the Trump administration today is Bolton the chickenhawk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_R._Bolton#Vietnam_War). Trump was also quite the war hero (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump#Early_life_and_education). This is just like the chickenhawks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickenhawk_(politics)) in the Bush administration, flogging along the Empire, and Cheney (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Cheney#Early_life_and_education), Wolfowitz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wolfowitz#Early_life), and Perle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Perle#Education_and_early_career) come to mind, as well as Bush the deserter (https://theintercept.com/2015/10/27/george-w-bush-was-awol-but-whats-truth-got-to-do-with-it/), and imperial cheerleaders such as Limbaugh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh#Early_life). Murderous hypocrisy is their chief virtue.

I continually read essays on the sinking American empire (http://thesaker.is/the-last-western-empire/), the saber rattling with Iran (https://www.theautomaticearth.com/2019/07/dulce-et-decorum-est/), how much the FBI was literally modeled after the Gestapo (https://www.rutherford.org/publications_resources/john_whiteheads_commentary/the_rise_of_the_american_gestapo_has_it_already_happened_here), and the open assaults today (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731) on the First Amendment, by such stalwarts of justice as the CIA (https://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/the-cia-wants-to-make-it-easier-to-jail-journalists-congress-isnt-stopping-it_07212019).

Such information can overwhelm the average American, so they stay blissfully unaware of nearly all of that “dissonant (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive)” information. They aren’t my target audience, and have not been so since about 2004. That said, I only know English, so that limits my audience. But it is the lingua franca of the Internet and today’s science, so it could be worse.

What I will make even clearer in my big essay update is that the reasons for violence, war (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), empires, nations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations) (and politicians – hurray! :) ), cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), money (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange), and the like vanish in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Almost nobody on Earth today can even imagine it, and that is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). Earth’s peoples will not be willing or able to imagine the Fifth Epoch until it arrives (and it all hinges on free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity)), and that is OK (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1).

Hi:

As an addendum to yesterday’s post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1308264&viewfull=1#post1308264), I spent a few hours reading Wrangham’s latest (https://www.amazon.com/Goodness-Paradox-Relationship-Violence-Evolution/dp/1101870907/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1564867637&refinements=p_27%3ARichard+Wrangham&s=books&sr=1-1&text=Richard+Wrangham), and his emphasis was on the Pleistocene domestication of the human line, not the Holocene one. When people began to become sedentary in the Holocene, there was further domestication of humanity, and women played a key role. In hunter-gatherer societies, women were very second-class citizens, often little more than pawns to the men. In horticultural societies, women’s status rose to the extent that many became matrilocal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), which broke up the male gangs, and those are the human journey’s most peaceful preindustrial societies. Unfortunately, with the rise of civilization, women’s status declined again (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1), and did not rise again until industrialization.

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), all such dynamics will be seen as markers of the primitive chapters of our journey, just as all Fourth Epoch peoples view slavery today. Wrangham’s latest will certainly make it into my essay update.

Hi:

I recently wrote (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1306134&viewfull=1#post1306134) that I can’t keep up with all of the mass shootings in the USA, and in the less than two weeks since I wrote that, there have been several prominent ones in the USA (we have been having about one a day in recent years (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2017/oct/02/america-mass-shootings-gun-violence)), and I feel compelled to write something about it, as it is timely in more than one way. My wife was in a street fair in Alameda recently, and thought about how easy it would be for a shooter to light it up, and just as she was thinking that, that shooting happened in nearby Gilroy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilroy_Garlic_Festival_shooting). Just in the past day, a gunman killed 20 people in a Walmart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_El_Paso_shooting), and another killed nine people in Dayton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Dayton_shooting), where I used to live (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#therapy). The Gilroy and El Paso shootings were performed by young, right-wing, white men. The shooter in El Paso specifically said to not blame Trump for his anti-immigrant rampage. We’ll see about the Dayton shooting, but the world’s largest Air Force base is there.

In a strange way, this is timely, as I am getting ready to write about the origins of violence, morality, and warfare in my essay update. There was a recent rant on my Avalon thread about how everybody knows “right from wrong,” but those have never been universal values. Ideas of so-called “right and wrong” have changed radically over the human journey, and in Wrangham’s latest (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1308376&viewfull=1#post1308376), he devoted a chapter to the idea. Orwell wrote about it (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell) in 1984, and anthropologists have studied the issue for many years. The most heinous crimes become heroic deeds when committed against the out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). Jesus tried to correct that thinking (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy), but in the two millennia since then, it has largely fallen on deaf ears, and especially with Christians, who are history’s most murderous people and who are responsible for the greatest demographic catastrophes in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2).

Since World War II (that “good war (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good)”), the greatest international crimes have been committed by the USA. It is not even close (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection), as my great nation has committed and supported genocide after genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1), while invoking “humanitarian (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record)” motivation each time (or the “war on terror (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc)”). Bigger lies have seldom been told, and when that hypocrisy gets called out, those pointing it out are subjected to never-ending smear campaigns (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia).

In a nation that glorifies violence (see how the USA reveres its military at football games), as it inflicts endless imperial crimes, what is happening is called “blowback (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowback_(intelligence))” in intelligence parlance, and “chickens coming home to roost (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/the_chickens_come_home_to_roost)” in a more vernacular way. Violence has always begotten violence, and always will. To heroify people for slaughtering the “enemy,” but to decry it when it is done against their societies, is the height of hypocrisy. All of humanity is one (as is Creation), which is the message of the Infinite Spirit (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nature). The most popular video games in the USA have long been first-person shooters. What a way to have “fun.”

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), violence and warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) will be relegated to the dark dustbin of the human journey, and it can’t come too soon. In the meantime, the USA is turning into a shooting gallery, just as it seemed to be when I was a child in the 1960s (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1305400&viewfull=1#post1305400), with the numerous assassinations (all CIA-or-FBI related), and it is “interesting” that today, the people and police are getting good at responding to mass shootings. In Gilroy and Dayton, cops shot the shooters about a minute into their rampages, and people are getting good at scattering and hiding when a shooter begins firing. Several years ago, in nearby Portland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clackamas_Town_Center_shooting), a shooter began his rampage in a shopping mall, and the people scattered, hid, and closed doors within seconds, as the would-be slaughterer quickly had only an empty mall to shoot up. A co-worker stood ten feet away when a mall shooter began shooting (https://www.kentreporter.com/news/saunders-sentenced-to-17-years-for-southcenter-mall-murder-in-2008/), and everybody scattered within seconds.

What a thing for a society to become proficient at. You will rarely read about any connection between the USA’s imperial behavior and its rash of shootings, even though it is well-known that World War I set the stage (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#primary) for the rising violence in German society that paved the way to Hitler’s rise. The lessons are there, for those who care to pay attention. The USA has been a gun-nut nation since the beginning, and now, it seems to be reaching its apotheosis.

Hi:

When current events become dramatic enough, I’ll comment on them, such as the mass shootings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1826&viewfull=1#post1826), Assange’s arrest (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731), America’s imperial actions (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1824&viewfull=1#post1824), etc., but it is easy to get swept up into the drama and spectacle of current events. In the end, they don’t mean a lot, as far as the human journey goes. As Krishna says, it is all chimpness. Voting booths, protest lines, clever Internet chatter – none of that makes a difference. Delivering an Epoch-making technology (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) to the public? Now, that is a horse of a different color, but almost nobody on Earth can keep their eyes on that ball for long without flying off in a million crazy directions. I seek the few who are able and willing to, and together, we might be able to make a dent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

I have a busy week ahead of me.

I having been reading about ethics in some papers.. they totally ignore the energy context, and just talk about how bad slavery was and good we ended it. Without change in the material conditions (im)moral behaviors don't change.

Skimmed through the book Chimpanzees and Human Evolution, looking forward to reading Wrangham's The Goodness Paradox

Hi Krishna:

I'll write more later, but welcome to the irrelevancies of social science. :) Most social science is pretty worthless as an explanatory vehicle.

Wrangham disappoints me. His repeated mention of Pinker in his various talks was a clue.. clue.. clue.. clue..
His first page of the goodness paradox his villans are hitler, pol pot and stalin. Sure they are villans, how about finding some in British and US societies?

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1308809&viewfull=1#post1308809):

As much as I hate to say it, Wrangham is a white guy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1778&viewfull=1#post1778)! :)

I once read somebody discuss Noam’s comments on some British pundits who had absorbed the capitalist/imperial indoctrination so deeply that they could not even recognize the conceits that their work reeked of. It reminds me of that scene in the move Gandhi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhi_(film)), when Gandhi said something like making India for Indians, and a British official looked at him in puzzlement, and replied that India was naturally British. Gandhi just smiled. That naïveté of citing Pinker (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker), parroting Ed’s “standard model” of the Rwandan genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda), even when he was impacted by those events, is so common among white men, particularly from English-speaking countries.

Noam said that those pundits suffered from the centuries-old imperial, “liberal” indoctrination from their cradles, and were incapable of seeing how trapped their minds were. It took me many years to finally understand (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#incapable). Noam has long written about how Western “intellectuals” were indoctrinated so profoundly (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#trivial). I could write for a very long time on that issue. You say that you hold your nose when reading a lot of white-guy work, and still try to glean something from it. What I have noticed, going back to my early radical days (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739), is that their biases were so great that they could invalidate almost any insight that those white guys could reach.

I have noticed that bias of Wrangham’s before. Paul Farmer’s book on Haiti (https://www.amazon.com/Uses-Haiti-Paul-Farmer/dp/1567513441) is about the only one that I ever saw among white guys with scientific (biological or physical) training that shed the white conceits, and Noam naturally wrote the introduction to it. In a recent book by Peter Ward, he mentioned Loewen’s masterpiece, Lies My Teacher Told Me (https://www.amazon.com/Lies-My-Teacher-Told-Everything/dp/1620973928/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=loewen+lies&qid=1565090399&s=books&sr=1-1), and I was pleasantly surprised to see it. White scientists (physical and biological) rarely go there. Scientists are naïve in general (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#naive), as Bucky mentioned.

To my previous post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1308791&viewfull=1#post1308791), the social sciences almost all suffer from not being grounded in the physical sciences, and physical scientists suffer from naïveté. As I have written, it took about two years for me to understand what Noam was saying, and I contacted him soon afterward, to only have a brief correspondence before getting the polite brushoff. I could never get Ed to think about energy and economy, and unsuccessfully tried to introduce him to Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project?p=1103&viewfull=1#post1103) several times. Near his life’s end, Brian admitted his naïveté (http://www.brianoleary.info/Synopsis.html), which actually shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847). The best of us lost our naïveté honestly and reluctantly (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive).

When I began what I consider the second phase of my scholarly journey, after reading Bucky’s work, and I encountered the Peak Oilers (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm) soon afterward, it became obvious that physical scientists had little respect for economists, and the trouble that I had with economic theory from college began to become clear (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#econ). Their works are largely delusional exercises, as they were mere intellectual warriors for the capital class (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economics). It wasn’t until Marx came along (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#marx1) that there was much honesty in economics, but he is very marginalized, even demonized, in the West. But Michael Albert’s “radical” Parecon (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#parecon) did not even mention energy. God, what a boring read that was. Even the “radical” economists can’t see the big picture.

I’ll write about it more one day, but when I read up on the demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) not long ago, it was depressingly familiar how blind those social scientists were. For anybody with grounding in the physical sciences, the demographic transition is obviously a side-effect of the Industrial Revolution. Without the Industrial Revolution, there would not have been a demographic transition, but every analysis that I saw ignored it and got into the minutia of secondary and tertiary factors, with a lot of irrelevant statistical analyses. Economists do the same thing, so it is understandable, but when they do that, they abdicate their ability to develop explanations that make much sense. It is similar to all of those pundits that tried to explain the American invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate) without mentioning oil. The result of all such punditry is nonsensical analyses that don’t explain anything of importance.

There are many flavors of such delusional analyses, and one that comes to mind is postmodern analytics, which Ed and Noam rightfully shredded (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#postmodern). Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) is marginalized in orthodox media analyses, as they focus on irrelevant aspects (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#irrelevant) and ignore the structural ones. As long as the media is under capitalist control, it will continue to serve up the mind-numbing garbage that it does, and only the most vigilant consumers will resist falling under the sway of the capitalist/imperialist assumptions that pervade it.

Even in the physical sciences, particularly the biological sciences, there is a tendency to overlook or ignore the energy issue, which makes their findings suspect. Nick Lane’s latest (https://www.amazon.com/Vital-Question-Evolution-Origins-Complex/dp/0393352978/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=nick+lane&qid=1565092414&s=gateway&sr=8-1), and Hall and Klitgaard’s book (https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Wealth-Nations-Introduction-Biophysical/dp/3319662171/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=hall+klitgaard&qid=1565092458&s=gateway&sr=8-1), mentioned that neglect, as they tried to bring energy front-and-center. Even in Schrödinger’s What is Life?, he downplayed the energy issue in biology, to later utter a mea culpa.

This is why a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) is necessary for the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Otherwise, it is easy to get sucked into all manner of delusional rabbit hole. My choir qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) are not something that I just dreamed up one day, but were the result of trial-and-error (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307), over thousands of interactions with the public, pundits, and the like. Getting to productive understanding of this issue is like walking the razor’s edge. So-called intellectuals almost never get close, falling off the rails early on, succumbing to their indoctrination (becoming a Level 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) is a typical hazard), but the scientifically illiterate can really get lost, falling for the flavor of the day in the media, or the latest New Age/conspiracist gossip.

So, I hear you on Wrangham’s naïve biases, but he is a white guy! :)

Hi:

I doubt that I can overemphasize how neither I nor my fellow travelers had any idea what we were in for as we began our idealistic journeys (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts). Our so-called allies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#allies) usually hurt us more than our assailants did. That was the greatest lesson of my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and the beginner’s level of that lesson is when free energy newcomers rush out to tell their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) the “good news,” to only be shocked at the indifference, ridicule, ostracism, and other reactions. The best of my students come back to me, chastened by the experience. After they learn that one, even after I caution them against it, then they are more willing to learn vicariously through my adventures and those of my fellow travelers.

Learning how the free energy pursuit shortens lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors) just comes with the journey. Oh, all the wrecked (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier) and shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey) lives that I have witnessed on my journey. Those were lessons that none of us expected or wanted to learn, but they just come with the territory of walking the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584). Learning that the very technologies that we pursued were developed to a commercial level (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) long ago was no great surprise, and neither was the existence and vigilance of the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc). To armchair conspiracists and other spectators, those are big deals, and I can see why they think so, but they are really not the big revelations that you get when you walk the high road. They are more along the lines of “Oh, that too.”

The big lessons are the ones that we learned about humanity and ourselves. The GCs are merely a symptom of the human condition, not a cause. If enough people who cared (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) woke up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) and did something about it, it would quickly be Game Over for the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and they know it, which is why they keep the lid so tightly on those technologies and wipe out any independent attempts to develop them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), although they rarely need to lift a finger. The vast majority of efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic) either never go anywhere before they self-destruct or the lower-level players take them out, as they protect their turf, with little, if any, direction or encouragement from the GCs. Most of the GCs’ dirty work is done gratis.

I have developed my “curriculum” over a lifetime of training (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), and study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739), and not many are going to be willing and able to understand, but I seek the few who do (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) or are willing to do the work to get there. The homework that I hand out (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/125-The-Journey-from-Unawareness-to-Knowledge?p=1574&viewfull=1#post1574) is not life-threatening stuff, but it can be life-changing.

Hi:

Well, Krishna changed his post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1308809&viewfull=1#post1308809) a little. It originally said that until material realities change, “morality” and behavior won’t. That is one of the key points of my work, and arguably the key one. I can’t overemphasize that each Epoch’s energy practices formed its foundation, and the best measure of any society’s wealth is its surplus energy. Energy makes it all happen. The nearest concept in financial terms may be discretionary income (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#discretionary), although savings is closest to the idea of energy reserves, and the USA has been scraping the dregs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dregs) lately. All of the easy fossil fuel energy has been exploited on Earth. The last good stuff is in the Middle East, which explains everything (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate) about the West’s military presence there. Energy per capita consumption peaked when the USA’s standard of living did, and it has been all downhill since then (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline).

I am going to expand on those ideas in my essay update, and make them more explicit. Without abundant and clean energy, the Fifth Epoch can’t happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). I am going to expand quite a bit on the rise of Europe and the path to the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was all about machines’ replacing people, and performing feats that humans are incapable of, from cars and rockets to computers. Without rising energy levels, and technologies that replaced people, there would not have been a rise of Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal35) and conquest of humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2). Machines replaced nimble fingers, strong backs, and, with the rise of computers, brains. The replacement of fingers got a big boost with the printing press (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#printing). Before the printing press, all books were written by hand. That is what monastery monks did in those medieval days. Mass literacy was not feasible until the rise of the printing press. The West, unlike the Western Hemisphere (and Australia was still stuck in the Second Epoch when the British invaded (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tasmania)), had draft animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goat), which was a huge boost to productivity, and the mass adoption of the waterwheel (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill1) and the feat of turning the ocean into a low-energy transportation lane were unprecedented events in the human journey.

The rise of machines made chattel slavery economically obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend). Women were liberated, as the agrarian economy disappeared. Industrializing nations had demographic transitions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), and its main features were cheaply reproduced in developing nations. But without the first one, the rest would not have happened.

In the Fourth Epoch, wage slavery replaced chattel slavery, but in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), the concept of “being employed” will become as meaningless (or disgusting) as the idea of chattel slavery is in the Fourth. Nobody will need to “work for living,” and it does not mean the crazed hedonism that you see in rock stars, lottery winners, and NBA players, but new horizons of the human potential (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive) will beckon, and this kind of world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) becomes feasible, as abundance and love (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) replace scarcity and fear as humanity’s operating principles. That is the beginning and end of my game. We’ll see how it goes.

To Krishna’s revised post, I replied with a post on the problems with white guys (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1828&viewfull=1#post1828). You will rarely find physical or biological scientists’ citing Chomsky, or even being aware of his work, other than his linguistics work. I have noticed that divide for many years. I doubt that I have ever seen a physical or biological scientist write an article in Z Magazine and similar “radical” publications. You only get social scientists such as Ed, Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), and Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1636&viewfull=1#post1636). When I see a de Wall or Wrangham comment on current social or political trends, and even provide prescriptions for future action, their naïveté can really shine through, such as citing Pinker (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker).

Best,

Wade

Hi:

In the past week, I have been reading Wrangham’s recent work. Yes, he is a white guy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1828&viewfull=1#post1828), with the limitations that come with it, and I always take that into consideration when reading white-guy science and scholarship. That said, Wrangham is always worth taking seriously. It is very interesting that on the issue of the origins of war, Wrangham is considered the chief “hawk,” while de Waal wrote the foreword (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/24-Chapter-17-Humanity%C2%92s-First-Epochal-Event-Growing-our-Brains-and-Controlling-Fire?p=1819&viewfull=1#post1819) to a book by the dean of the doves, Douglas Fry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_P._Fry). My essay update will have plenty of Wrangham’s and de Waal’s work in it, and they have worked together (https://www.amazon.com/Chimpanzee-Cultures-Richard-W-Wrangham/dp/0674116631). They are the two most prolific chimp researchers today, and Wrangham got his start working for Jane Goodall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Wrangham#Biography). De Wall does not agree with Wrangham’s latest work (https://www.facebook.com/franspublic/posts/in-dutch-aggression-controversythis-is-a-dutch-newspaper-article-about-the-recen/10156098399839700/).

I’ll write about Wrangham’s work more in my essay update, but the gist of his latest work is that humans have self-domesticated themselves in the past 300,000 years or so, and that Wrangham bases a lot of this idea on the groundbreaking work on domesticating the silver fox (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#silverfox). Those silver foxes were bred into domestication by simply selecting for one trait: a lack of defensive aggression. In only a few generations, the changes were evident. Domesticated silver foxes make good pets today, and act like dogs. What is called the “domestication syndrome (https://www.genetics.org/content/197/3/795)” today are changes related to reduced defensive aggression, such as white patches on the extremities (head, feet), reduced brain and tooth size, floppy ears, and an overall “juvenilization,” in which infant traits are retained into adulthood. Bonobos evince what Wrangham calls “self-domestication,” which likely began with reduced defensive aggression, and it was very likely related to their ecological circumstances, with easier access to food resources, in their isolation from other chimps and gorillas south of the Congo River (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1).

Wrangham also writes about offensive aggression, as contrasted with defensive aggression. While defensive aggression is tightly related to heightened emotional states (the fight or flight response), offensive aggression is a cold, calculating exercise, like premeditated murder, and chimps and humans engage in it like no other animals, befitting their advanced cognitive abilities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary).

All in all, I think that Wrangham’s work is an important contribution to the issue of the roots of the human phenomenon of war and peace. Humans engage in both, in unique ways. I’ll always make the argument that it has been rooted in ecological/economic reality from the beginning, as we see with the great contrasts between chimp and bonobo behavior, which has been baked into their DNA, after about a million years of independent bonobo evolution.

Best,

Wade

[Krishna]

Wade, I did not revise my post I think you meant this post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1308699&viewfull=1#post1308699)

What books from Douglas Fry would you suggest? I am still in the middle of reading Wrangham's latest, I think I agree with him more than de Wall.

de Wall's Age of Emphathy was good about explaining bonobos, but not useful in terms of getting to an age of emphathy. The path laid out was empty.

[Wade Frazier]

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1309509&viewfull=1#post1309509):

Well, there is another senior moment. Getting old and feeble! :) Yes, I was referring (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1309313&viewfull=1#post1309313) to that post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1308699&viewfull=1#post1308699). I have not read a great deal of Fry’s work. I see that he has a new book out (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T3PF64W/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i0), with Riane Eisler (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#masculine), and I suppose that having Eisler as his co-author kind of sums it up: they both have a very idiosyncratic approach to the science and evidence. I have War, Peace, and Human Nature (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EJ34SWA/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i1), which Fry edited and wrote the introduction and conclusion to, as well as co-authored one of the chapters. War, Peace, and Human Nature is what de Wall wrote the foreword to, Noam gave a blurb to, and Ed cited the chapter that takes on the evidence that Pinker (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker) used for pre-Holocene violence. To see the two poles of the argument, of the long chronology versus the short one, read also Violence and Warfare among Hunter-Gatherers (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1611329396/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Those are some of the books that I will be using in my essay update, as well as Otterbein’s masterpiece (https://www.amazon.com/How-Began-Texas-University-Anthropology/dp/1585443301/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=how+war+began&qid=1565439976&s=books&sr=1-1), which reconciles the long and short chronologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page7?p=873&viewfull=1#post873), as well as provides the most intriguing hypothesis for the rise of civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1) that I have seen.

From what I have read and know of Fry’s work, he gets too cute on defining war. He defines it as a violent attack on another polity, in which which member of the polity is assailed does not matter to the attackers, as they are all “socially substitutable.” In defining war in that way, Fry pretty much defines out of existence hunter-gatherer warfare, as he describes virtually all such violence as “feuds” and homicides.” Fry has been criticized for relying too much on the ethnographic evidence instead of the archeological evidence. Even then, there were hunter-gatherers to study in the 20th century, and the best ones to study were arguably those of New Guinea, which was the most isolated place on Earth early in the 20th century. The New Guinea Highlands were not even “discovered (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Guinea_Highlands#History)” until the 1930s. A chapter of Violence and Warfare among Hunter-Gatherers is devoted to New Guinea, and showed how the behaviors of those contact-era hunter-gatherers definitely met Fry’s definition of warfare. For anybody who has studied New Guinea contact-era societies, it was pretty shocking how violent they all were, and headhunting and cannibalism were typical behaviors. I think that it gives perhaps the best modern window into our hunter-gatherer past. You would not want to live then. :)

The tragic aspect of the debate on the long and short chronologies is that all anthropologists who study war do so with the intent of eliminating it. As Tony Bennett said (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bennett#2006%E2%80%93present:_Bennett_continues_to_perform), warfare is the “lowest form of human behavior.” Amen (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#sledge). It seems to me that the short-chronology side has an aversion to admitting that there are very good evolutionary reasons for violence and warfare, going back to gorillas and even earlier. I would argue that it goes back to the beginnings of predation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#predation1). It is part of our heritage as heterotrophs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#grazing). Even with his white-guy biases (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1828&viewfull=1#post1828), I think that Wrangham has the best approach to the issue.

I think that the chimp/bonobo issue is a great illustration of human proclivities. Humans can be peaceful or warlike, and it has everything to do with abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) and scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). When there is plenty, there is peace, and when it gets scarce, it gets violent. It is really pretty simple. The golden ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages) of the journey of life on Earth and the human journey were all based on a short-lived energy abundance for the lucky organisms and people. Those situations never lasted long, before it was back to competition and eventually a collapse, whether it was ecosystems (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctions) or societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations).

What none of those “hawks” and “doves” can seem to imagine is that the means to end warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) are already on the planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). As Brian ruefully discovered (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), academics and scientists will be among the last to wake up to the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), not the first, much less help us get there (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

It will be up to the uncredentialed to do it, not members of the Establishment, even its most “progressive” members, perhaps especially its most progressive members. I was never able to get anywhere with Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), and it does not get much greater than them.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

When current events reach certain outrageous levels (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1826&viewfull=1#post1826), I’ll comment on them. Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein#Death)” may be the most suspicious American death in custody since Oswald’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower). The bloggers have been warning about his impending “suicide” for weeks, after his failed “attempt.” He knew way too much, and had to be silenced. Adding him to the Clinton Body Count (https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/old-clinton-conspiracy-theory-finds-new-life-jeffrey-epstein-news-n1034741) seems appropriate, but far more than the Clintons would have been vulnerable to the possible revelations of an Epstein trial, no matter how rigged it was. He was the most high-profile prisoner in the USA, who was inexplicably left alone, even after an earlier apparent attempt, and, surprise of surprises, took his life.

Epstein’s “suicide” is how it is done in the USA. In Africa in the 1990s, dissidents in custody were prone to “jumping” off of the tenth floor of the presidential palace while under “interrogation.” The USA is slightly cleverer. They will make charges (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#samp) out of the thin air, prosecute them with the utmost fraudulence (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care), doctor your security file to erase your wife, children, your collegiate and military careers, and outright lie (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707) about what they “convicted” you of, to put you into the shark tank, and then a serial murderer has his lucky day when he is moved from the “the hole” in maximum security to be your bunkmate (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes). When that doesn’t work, then you are framed for being a snitch, and if you are extremely talented and lucky, you’ll only have some fingers broken and teeth knocked out, but you can count on the media to lie about those events (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=687&viewfull=1#post687) ever since, as well as “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel),” talking heads in the free energy field (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), etc.

Of course, with this latest untimely demise while in custody, there will be an “investigation,” and no foul play will be detected, but maybe a guard’s head will be put on a platter, or some “unfortunate” bureaucratic “lapse” will be noted, and then, “Case closed! Nothing more to see here. Move along.” That is how it works in the good ol’ USA. So, today is another “interesting” day in the Empire.

Best,

Wade

Hi all:

Just starting to read a lot about The Culture novels by Iain M. Banks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_series) through a set of online files that I've found on Discord when it was shared by Discord colleagues there in one of the channels that I am a member of.

The Culture novels is definitely a good example of a science fiction work that is really able to describe an interstellar post-scarcity civilization. Though, it still doesn't come close to the way Wade can describe the Fifth Epoch due to one element that is missing in the Culture novels, the spiritual component. That connection to the Divine, which is also where free energy comes from. That's missing. The spiritual component maybe the most important component of how post-scarcity cannot be truly imagined. Though the author did have a concept that is close to free energy that the Culture was able to harness, thus the achievement of post-scarcity.

But it's definitely interesting that The Culture novels along with Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed to be one of the very few works around that can describe and make people imagine post-scarcity. They may as well be the only ones around that's famous enough. Star Trek's post-scarcity is more ambiguous and is more of a product of the late developments of U.S. society and politics as it goes through the rise of neoliberalism by the 1980s and DS9 of the 1990s, unfortunately, is one of the reasons that made Star Trek's post-scarcity more "phony" or less of a true post-scarcity, I guess. It's never really properly explained in detail in Star Trek except for one or two NG episodes and it's quite a surface explanation of what makes Star Trek's post-scarcity possible whereas the Culture is completely post-scarcity and the details about it are very good. It helps that the author is quite militantly leftist and knows his Chomsky and his Marx very well.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Culture - Wikipedia article about the Culture.

Late Iain M. Banks' own notes on the Culture - http://www.vavatch.co.uk/books/banks/cultnote.htm

The notes of the author are themselves, MUST READ. :)

Just passing through here... keep doing your thing guys...

Thanks,

Serg.

Hi Serg:

I have one or two of the Culture books in my library somewhere. One day, I may get around to reading the series. Yes, Star Trek was not quite Fifth Epoch, but could come close at times.

Hi:

When Dennis was in prison, and the officials kept putting him in position to be killed by the inmates (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page8?p=741&viewfull=1#post741), at one point, the officials said that they could put Dennis in protective custody, after he had turned into a real snitch and said who threatened him, and Dennis nearly laughed at them. He knew that “protective custody” was no protection at all, as the inmates could easily kill any inmate that they wanted to in his prison, protective custody or not. The realities of prison life are not like they are portrayed in the media.

With what I know of the JFK hit (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), I’ll never believe any official story that portrays Oswald as the Lone Nut, and portrays the Ruby (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#ruby) hit on Oswald as some sort of “rage of a nightclub owner” event. At least one member of the 9/11 commission did not believe the official explanation of 9/11, just as Warren Commission members did not believe the Magic Bullet story (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page8?p=767&viewfull=1#post767). When even the members of the “investigative” commissions did not believe the official verdicts, how can the public be expected to? All such investigative commissions are compromised from the outset, and can even be fraudulent to begin with.

Even for something as innocuous at the Challenger disaster, Richard Feynman threatened to take his name off of the investigative commission findings, if they did not include his appendix on what the problem really was (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman#Challenger_disaster). He was the “pain in the ass” who steered the committee to the truth, as it was going to be glossed over and buried, in the name of NASA’s CYA games.

So, there is not going to be any official explanation for Epstein’s “suicide (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1833&viewfull=1#post1833)” that is going to be credible to me. Fool me once…

However, these machinations don’t even reach the GC (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) level, but are more on the national level. The Clintons are way down the food chain (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) of earthly power. The GCs regard the Epstein situation as merely another incident of “the boys at play.” The Epstein and similar incidents are merely part of the circus. None of it is in any way relevant to making the Fifth Epoch happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), which is the name of my game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The Fifth Epoch will “drain the swamp” for elite machinations, as it will make elites obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear). But the elites and their games cannot be the focus of an effort like mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus). They just need to be acknowledged and let go. That issue is part of developing a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), but just a part. It is important to not get stuck there. They are a real hazard for what I do, but I do what I can to minimize the risk, both to myself and anybody in the choir. I am low on their radar (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic) for now, and if my plan works, by the time that they realize the “threat,” it won’t be stoppable. But the same faction that cheered our efforts from the shadows (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623) is likely to also be supportive, and it may be so today, although I am not counting on them.

Looking for singers, not soldiers.

Hi:

One of the “interesting” aspects of the Epstein case (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1833&viewfull=1#post1833), and I have followed it a little, is that I once lived a few miles from a prominent billionaire, and I heard from somebody who would know about that billionaire’s odd sexual proclivities, and how he would sneak in people through the back entrance to his mansion for his trysts. The man was and still is a closet homosexual, which is not part of his public image at all.

When Epstein’s “little black book” became public, that billionaire’s name was in it, and it was another one of those “isn’t that interesting?” moments.

Best,

Wade

I finished Wrangham's latest book, he like de Waal is strongest when talking about science and weakest when talking about contemporary politics. Also interesting is that de Wall is not acknowledged in the book as any kind of collaborator.

The summary of the book is that within ingroups we keep our tempers in check, this is because we evolved to be part of a social group and to get along, or to risk death for deviations from the norm. This killing was done by married men who formed the core of the power structure in our evolutionary past. Wrangham is definitive "we live in a patriarchal society" (close paraphrase). Outgroups are outside of the moral compass, raiding and killing is normal and accepted, this is premeditated and death rates are of similar magnitude in chimpanzees. This easily explains why we care about our state, community, race, or any other identity that one can think of, to the exclusion of others who dont fall into "our" category.
During his discussion of war today he cites Pinker, but both Wrangham and Pinker miss the role of demographic change in lessening of war deaths. As demographic change rolled through western societies they had a difficult time staffing their military for war and war deaths, this was partly a reason for independence around the world. Any discussion of war in modern times has to take into account the demographic change in western societies.

Nick Lane in an interesting talk (https://youtu.be/PhPrirmk8F4?t=994) says
he [Erwin Schrödinger] says something like "life is the harnessing of chemical energy in such a way that the energy-harnessing device makes a copy of itself."
That is certainly how I would see he's linking the two key themes of biology, information and energy, together.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Krishna:

I’ll comment more on Wrangham’s latest (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1309448&viewfull=1#post1309448) later. So, what part of demography (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1309895&viewfull=1#post1309895) do you think is important?


Two world wars had depleted the imperial powers of cannon fodder.
That lower birthrates in industrial nations meant less imperial cannon fodder.
The rise in standard of living in industrial nations meant more to lose for young men, so being a soldier had increasingly less “allure.”


One, all, some combination of them, or something else?

Yes (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1309927&viewfull=1#post1309927), Lane kind of summed up life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aspects). I’ll have a lot to update on the origin of life and early life. If you read Schrödinger’s What is Life?, he initially dismissed energy in favor of negative entropy, but later made a mea culpa.

Pew has a good source of immigration to USA in 3 waves. Link to article (https://www.pewhispanic.org/2015/09/28/modern-immigration-wave-brings-59-million-to-u-s-driving-population-growth-and-change-through-2065/) https://www.pewhispanic.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2015/09/PH_2015-09-28_immigration-through-2065-06.png


I am thinking that by 1900 it should have become more difficult for UK, US, Germany, France to raise armies internally. Their armies were filled with colonial subjects in World War II and might have had a significant portion in WWI.

Increased (basic) education levels in comparison to illiteracy of earlier generation made induction into army difficult. This is a cognitive change, leaders are no longer able to command educated populations as they could illiterate populations.

This basic education also led to a decrease in birth rates so less people to induct.

Finally better wages meant need for bigger war budget.... But more than wages, a fully belly does not want to fight, Richard Wrangham makes the case that modern war is not "natural", natural war is mostly for show if equally matched, or outright murder with overwhelming force if one can get away with it.

Hints of this can be seen in the immigration numbers into USA, the theory being that people willing to emigrate are also willing to join an army. Until 1890 it was North/West Europe, from 1890-1920 it was South/East Europe, finally in the modern era 1965+ it is mostly Latin Americans and Asians.

This will change with immigration to usa staying constant for the next 10 years and then falling gently without end, as competition for immigrants heats up from europe, japan, china, canada and potential immigrants choosing to stay home with a full belly.

(Germany under Merkel smartly took in a million people and stalled its falling population during the recent crisis)


=== added later ===
more proof that demographic change had its effects... in 1896 Canada went to Eastern Europe to populate its lands (not to Northern/Western Europe)

From https://ideas.ted.com/world-population-is-headed-for-a-steep-decline-yet-canadas-is-growing-whats-its-secret/

In 1896, Clifford Sifton confronted just about the biggest problem a politician can have. The new Dominion of Canada, barely a quarter century old, was in danger of failing. ...
His solution was, for the time, incredibly radical: Aggressively recruit immigrants from Eastern Europe.

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1309985&viewfull=1#post1309985):

For World War II, it is true that India provided plenty of cannon fodder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_in_World_War_II), but no place else did much, and the problem with colonial cannon fodder is that they can go fight for the other side (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_in_World_War_II#Collaboration_with_the_Axis_powers). :) We can call the Korean troops that fought for Japan colonial, Italy conscripted about 20,000 Africans, the Baltic States got conscripted by both sides, but the vast majority of the fighting and deaths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#Human_losses_by_country) was inflicted and suffered by the citizens of the national militaries (and an awesome civilian toll, which has been a trend in the past few centuries). Where the fighting was the bloodiest (Eastern Front (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Front_(World_War_II)), the Pacific (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ocean_theater_of_World_War_II)), colonial conscripts did not participate to any significant degree.

I am not as big a fan of education as you are. Americans are history’s most brainwashed people (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing), and are completely literate. I estimate that about half of my so-called “education” was brainwashing, in one form or another (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm), and I nearly joined the military (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). As Goering said (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#goering), it is easy to march the masses of any nation off to war. Dodging the draft (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conscription) became an art form in the first civilization in Sumer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer), and while they invented literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing), you would not call Sumerians very literate, particularly the “pre-cannon” fodder. I’ll agree that the lower classes, literate or not, were always the preferred cannon fodder, and with a rising middle class in the West, fewer were willing to sign up. I have long-discussed my “redneck (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion)” background, and in my relatives today, the redneck side cultivates the idea of having military careers, as mesomorphs carry around weapons in their daily lives, while the professional side of my generation can’t seem to imagine becoming a soldier. It is a stark contrast from my parents’ and grandparents’ generations, and I think it has everything to do with being raised during the postwar boom (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar). I have written plenty that I was about ten years too young to have been drafted for Vietnam, and the stories that I have heard from my pals over the years (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1305347&viewfull=1#post1305347) (shudder).

So, how are illiterate people easier to conscript than literate ones? I just haven’t seen any studies of that, but I am quite willing to learn more. I’ll agree that rising standards of living make for more reluctant soldiers, and scarcity is always the invisible hand on their backs (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#soldier), and rising literacy was part of it, but only a part, IMO, kind of a side-effect. I still have a college paper written by a pal, which studied the growth of the American university system in the last half of the 19th century. It was designed to produce cogs in the rising industrial machine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1), not to produce truly educated people.

My effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) needs caring (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) and awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) people, not necessarily well-read and “educated” ones, who tend to become Level 3s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3).

I finished Wrangham’s latest, and your summary (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1309895&viewfull=1#post1309895) is a good one. Yeah, Wrangham and de Wall are kind of in opposite camps today, such as on the warfare issue (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1309448&viewfull=1#post1309448), and de Waal is a critic of Wrangham’s latest efforts (https://www.facebook.com/franspublic/posts/in-dutch-aggression-controversythis-is-a-dutch-newspaper-article-about-the-recen/10156098399839700/). I’ll be using both Wrangham and de Waal plenty in my essay update, and yes, they are strongest when playing scientists, not political commentators.

My mother’s side of my family was part of the Scandinavian migration wave in the late 1800s, as my grandfather was born in 1892 in Minnesota, a first-generation American from Norwegian parents, and he was crippled in World War I (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#influenza). Filling North America with white people was the plan for a long time. Tesla’s move to the USA in 1884 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla#Move_to_the_United_States) was typical of those times. That “radical” Canadian plan was not exactly cutting-edge for North America.

The coming trajectories of nations are not that interesting to me, as I am trying to end nations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations). :)

Yes, Indians fought on both sides, reading the infamous resource w......a, it struck me that mutiny was rare, the conscripts on the side of British were 40 times bigger than Indians on the other side. In WWI 70,000 Indians died, USA was 120,000 and Britain 800,000 Indian contribution cant be dismissed. Also while the intense war was not seen in India, they were holding the fort all round the world, even if they were not engaged in intense war (trust is an issue obviously).

I have been brainwashed too, in-groupism is part of every culture. Even so, I consider Fourth Epoch peoples to be more aware of the world and can reason in those terms. Speculating again... I see (predominantly white) educated americans to be more interested in thinking in world wide terms than people of color, who are happy to criticize the system, but rarely think globally in my experience. They are fighting their own battles I understand.. and I used to be that way too thinking only about India. Now I can reason about the lives of poor whites and people all over the world.

Yes there is pride in the military, but actually put them in battle and they start to frag their officers.

Speculating here but illiterate people are easier to manage (like a herd), while literate soldiers might have better skills and become better fighting machines, the risk of mutiny becomes higher, this risk shows up only when things are not going well..... When things are going well, literate or not everyone is ready to kill.

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1310311&viewfull=1#post1310311):

Interesting ideas, big subjects. Yes, I’ll admit that more white people are going to think globally…because we owned it (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#obsessed). :) I’ll agree that sitting on a farm for one’s entire life is unlikely to make too many people think in global terms. My father never got more than ten miles from where he was born until he was 16. I think that the average Third Epoch villager never got more than five miles from home, and they were illiterate to boot, so, to your point, they would have had a very hard time thinking in global terms.

One day, I may write an essay about rocket scientists, astronauts, and my life. Last month, I wrote about the Moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799), and other than UFO encounters (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1728&viewfull=1#post1728), the astronauts came back to Earth changed men, especially those who went to the Moon (https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Apollo11MoonLanding/story?id=8124267&page=1), seeing Earth as a blue marble. That can help form a global awareness.

Back to war, yes, Indians were never going to be relied on where it really counted, similar to American black soldiers’ cleaning the stables, peeling the potatoes, and mopping the floors for the World Wars (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#racism). Not even good enough to be cannon fodder, so, I guess that Indians outranked American blacks, kind of. So, yes, I can see that oppressed minorities are rarely going to raise their horizons beyond their self-interest or their social circle’s welfare, which is also why I realize that most of my audience is going to be people from industrial nations, as they are not riding the ragged edge of survival like people in developing nations often are. People wondering where their next meal is coming from will not be interested in what I am doing.

On soldiers’ being literate or not, the rise in literacy was definitely something that the ruling class of Fourth Epoch societies encouraged, unlike Third Epoch ones, as a higher skillset was needed to run the machines and processes of industrial societies. Comparing the Third Epoch’s peasant/craftsman roles versus the roles in industrial societies can result in a pretty stark contrast. But with the “education” comes the brainwashing, and Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) were brilliant in showing how subtle it could be.

So, literate soldiers are going to be much more useful, at least for operating modern weapons, such as controlling a drone. I get brain plasticity, and I’ll allow that in some ways, Fourth Epoch peoples seem “smarter” than Third Epoch ones, and to a degree that is likely true, but I am also reminded of an article that I once read about Americans on the West Coast getting sick and dying from eating mushrooms. I have known people who have gotten sick and died from eating mushrooms. In California, death caps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_phalloides) grow, and even though most recent victims have been Asian immigrants (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_phalloides#Similarity_to_edible_species), white people have had their fair share. In the article, some natives from New Guinea, I believe, were asked about mushroom eating and telling edibles from poisonous ones, and the natives replied that “only white people are stupid enough to eat poisonous mushrooms.” :) So, intelligence is an interesting subject, and what Chomsky always admired about people, common sense, has been every human’s birthright, no matter what Epoch they lived in.

Time for bed.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I often get to reflect on what I am doing, to stand back a little and see how it is going, compared to what my ideal would be. About all that I can do at this stage is make my material as good as I can, and encourage others to do the work and hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The next two years or so will be one of my last attempts to make my material as good as I can make it, likely capped with publishing a book. More than Mr. Mentor (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574), or even Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), my work is about manifesting the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), free energy will necessarily form its foundation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), and all of my writings are produced with that in mind.

When I seem to veer off into Gary and JFK (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), the Moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799), warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1837&viewfull=1#post1837), the latest mass shootings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1826&viewfull=1#post1826) and other outrageous events (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1833&viewfull=1#post1833), there is always a method to my madness, and it is about forming a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), to help people see the forest from the trees, to winnow the wheat from the chaff (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#chaff), to learn how to not be distracted by the circus and focus on what is important, without getting tunnel vision. It is not an easy trick. I have long written about the qualities that are needed (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), and won’t belabor them. Those qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) are just what became clear to me over many years and thousands upon thousands of interactions on these subjects.

What the people I seek need to attain is an awareness of free energy’s reality (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) and transformative potential (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), so that they can keep their eyes on the ball and not disappear down the innumerable rabbit holes that await the naïve (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) and undiscerning. There are so many ways to fail (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) at this task.

I know that if I water it down, play to people’s egos, and go for some kind of message for the masses (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), I will fail. I am doing something different. As my editor offered to help me do 20 years ago, the wine of my work of 20 years ago has been turned into brandy, and can’t be guzzled in an afternoon. Developing a comprehensive perspective is far from easy, and takes many years to achieve. The lightbulb did not finally go on for me until reading Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller).

Dennis labored under the most noble of delusions over the years. He initially believed in the system (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=576&viewfull=1#post576) to a level that you rarely find, until his day of awakening in a bank lobby (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice). He still believed in The People (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=618&viewfull=1#post618), believed what he read in the newspapers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1), and it took many years for him to go through the stages of awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings) to the grim reality (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked): almost nobody really cares (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and his allies hurt him more than his assailants did (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#allies).

Those lessons (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm) have informed my efforts ever since the 1980s, but the learning never stops, as I keep refining my work and approach. I might have another 30 good years ahead of me, and will go out like Ed did (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death), active to the end, and we’ll see how it goes.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I have been reading up a little on the Epstein case (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1833&viewfull=1#post1833). Today’s revelation that he had broken neck bones (https://nypost.com/2019/08/15/epstein-autopsy-determined-he-had-several-broken-neck-bones-report/) thickens the plot. It gives the choke marks on his neck of a few weeks ago, and his claims that people were trying to murder him, new relevance.

The parallels of Epstein’s death and Oswald’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1833&viewfull=1#post1833) were immediately clear (https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/blog/2019-8-12-jeffrey-epstein-let-the-conspiracy-theories-begin), and it was kind of amusing to see articles that “debunked” the connection by portraying Ruby (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#ruby) as some kind of glory hound, not a hit man, and their sole evidence was linking to the Warren Report. As usual, Caitlin Johnstone (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/08/12/everyones-a-conspiracy-theorist-whether-they-know-it-or-not/) had one of the best takes on the issue. The FBI considers “conspiracy theorists” to be a threat to national security (https://news.yahoo.com/fbi-documents-conspiracy-theories-terrorism-160000507.html).

Even though the jail that Epstein died in was legendary for its corruption (https://nypost.com/2019/08/11/former-gotti-confidant-says-jail-where-jeffrey-epstein-died-catered-toward-wealthy-inmates/), and Epstein could have bought “help” with his suicide, the screams that attended his death, and broken neck bones, don’t suggest some kind of easy “suicide.”

But the most interesting article (https://www.mintpressnews.com/mega-group-maxwells-mossad-spy-story-jeffrey-epstein-scandal/261172/) that I saw came out three days before Epstein’s death. It traced Epstein’s pedophile operation to Mossad and the Jewish mob. The pedophile operation was allegedly connected to a blackmail operation, in which the rich and powerful would be filmed during their trysts with the underage girls and then blackmailed into doing the bidding of Israel and friends. I have heard of such operations for nearly 30 years. Nothing new there, but Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean) would have had a field day with this. Mickey Cohen (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#cohen) made a record of Turner and Stompanato’s going at it (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#turner), and it was a hit at Hollywood parties, but that was just a warmup for making a recording of JFK and Marilyn Monroe’s going at it, and the effort seems to have succeeded (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#otash).

So, recording pedophile encounters for blackmail purposes was a natural, and you can see the Jewish mob come up in that article (https://www.mintpressnews.com/mega-group-maxwells-mossad-spy-story-jeffrey-epstein-scandal/261172/). What makes that article even more relevant to me is that that certain billionaire (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1835&viewfull=1#post1835) is prominent in it. A close relative once attended a soiree at that billionaire’s “clubhouse,” and its opulence was like something out of The Great Gatsby.

So, there is such a sordid milieu around Epstein that to deny its possible connection with his bizarre death is to really have one’s head in the sand. But don’t expect any investigation to lead to indictments of anybody in Mossad, the Jewish mob, etc. There is going to be a great deal of plausible deniability. If Epstein’s death was ordered from those levels of the game, those people are expert at covering their tracks and inserting several levels of front men and front organizations between them and those who did the deed. The “investigation” may put a head or two on a platter, as it already seems to have done with Epstein’s jailers, but I won’t hold my breath to see if the investigation and trials expose that blackmail operation and its sponsors. That kind of getting to the bottom of it in American officialdom has never happened that I ever saw. Independent investigators such as Casolaro (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#casolaro) and Wilcher (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wilcher) came to untimely demises, and even if Trump stumped for a thorough investigation that kept no stone unturned, don’t count on one happening. And all of this is happening far below the GC level (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186).

In a way, it is all circus and distraction, but it also gives a little glimpse into the abject corruption of our retail political and “justice” systems, which I know all too well (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail).

Hi:

I have previously mentioned my trip to Santa Cruz Island (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=668&viewfull=1#post668) with Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), and found myself thinking of it lately. What a glorious weekend, in March 1988. We flew out by helicopter on Saturday morning, as I recall, and we hovered over migrating gray whales, followed by a pod of dolphins, followed by a whale-watching boat. The helicopter dropped us on the shore of Smuggler’s Cove. I marked it on the map of Santa Cruz, attached. Wikipedia, as usual, got the dates wrong (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Cruz_Island#Other_uses), writing:


“The Santa Cruz Island Hunt Club operated from 1966 until 1985, beginning as a sheep and pig hunting during a rifle season and an archery season.”


I was there in 1988, and it lasted another few years after that. The major drought that was several years old in 1990 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droughts_in_California#1986%E2%80%931992), when I moved away to Ohio (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=735&viewfull=1#post735), killed off most of the island’s sheep by 1992, which was about when the hunting club finally closed. On that map of the island, you can see that line drawn across the right end of the island, separating the Gherini Property from the rest of the island. That is where the Santa Cruz Island Hunt Club operated. When you walked the road from the shore to the ranch house (a picture of it is attached), you passed under a sign that said, “Hunt Med.” :)

That Saturday, I hiked across the hunting ranch, to its highest point. In March, Southern California is at its most beautiful, with rolling hills of emerald green grass. It was like hiking through Ireland, and sheep were all over. If they are wild, they still have their tails, and these did. The grass was cropped low, with all of the sheep. I have attached a spring photo near Smuggler’s Cove, with that couple in the picture, to give an idea of what it looked like when I was there. There were maybe ten of us, with several square miles to ourselves. People came from the world over to hunt sheep and pigs on that hunting ranch. That night, we watched Crocodile Dundee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_Dundee), and Mr. Professor and I slept in the upstairs bunk room. I heard a story of some “hunters” shooting the sheep on the nearby hillside from their bunkbeds, which is not exactly Great White Hunter behavior (or maybe it is :) ).

On Sunday, it was time to go back to civilization. I have attached a picture from a different part of the island, but the concept is the same as the Google image that I made of Smuggler’s Cove and the “runway” in the field near it. The ranch house was in a valley, and the runway was on top of the hill above it. We flew back to the mainland by airplane. The airplane landed on that runway, coming over the water to land, and we took off the way that it came, getting airborne just as the runway ended, just before the cliffs to the shore. There was not much margin for error. That was the most “exciting” take-off that I’ll ever have.

That was the only time that Mr. Professor and I did something like that, and the stress of the Ventura ordeal soon wrecked his health and led to his early death (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey). But that weekend, during my life’s worst year, as the “fun” was only beginning in March, was one of those brief times of compensation during that nightmare (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr). But when the dust finally settled soon before I moved to Ohio, I was wide awake, and would never see the world the same way again. In ways, I suppose that I should be grateful, as I woke up in a way that I might never have, as I went through the meat grinder.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Whoops! I see that I did not attach the ranch house photo in the previous post. Here it is.

Hi:

That trip to Santa Cruz Island (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page4?p=1841&viewfull=1#post1841) is also an example of one of the more common reactions to the idea of free energy. There aren’t any electric lines running from the mainland to the Channel Islands, so any electricity has to be generated on-site. That ranch house had solar panels and batteries. The man who ran the operation was a good friend of Mr. Professor’s, and he would have been one of the first in line for free energy. Over the years, denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) are by far the most common reactions to the idea of free energy, but when people get past that, perhaps the most common reaction is to ask when they can get a free energy device so that they can comfortably live out in the middle of nowhere, far from civilization.

People can argue that Seattle is biased in this way, because people can move here for that reason, but I have seen polls of what kind of lifestyle people would like to lead, and by far the most common response was to live in a pastoral environment with urban amenities. In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), I think that nearly everybody is going to choose something like that. People won’t live in cities as we know them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), and they will become obsolete, just as elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), poverty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), and environmental destruction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) will become.

I want to reflect on that Santa Cruz trip a little more. It was far from lost on me that I was going to a hunting ranch, and its entire purpose was to bring in “hunters” to slaughter sheep and pigs. They could even shoot them while still in bed. Not too sporting. I first went vegan when I was 20 (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm#vegan), and have been a vegetarian since 1987, after I escaped corporate regimentation. When I was there, 90% of the island was already owned by conservation groups (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Cruz_Island#National_Park_and_Nature_Conservancy_preserve), and it was understood that the hunting ranch’s days were numbered. I had an environmental awareness since childhood, have never littered in my life, and even then, I thought about the impact of the sheep on that end of the island, versus the rest, where they had largely been removed and killed off, to try to bring the island back to its natural state. The impacts of sheep-grazing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aztec1) are well-known.

But even that idea of “natural” is quite a misnomer. Humans killed off the mammoths of the Channel Islands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmy_mammoth) very quickly after their arrival, as they did everywhere that they showed up. It often amazes me how anthropocentric and egocentric humans are, including scientists. In that Wikipedia article on the extinction of those island mammoths, you can see climate change attributed to the mammoth extinction. What a crock. The elephant family had thrived in the Americas for more than 16 million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elephantsuccess), through the numerous climactic oscillations of our current ice age, and they covered the length and breadth of the Americas, living in virtually every biome that the Americas had to offer, to all suddenly go extinct soon after humans arrived, and climate had something to do with it, and that is even the dominant explanation among many scientists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange2). What makes that argument even crazier for the Americas is that they all went extinct after the ice sheets melted off and the world became warmer and wetter, which meant that the arid and lean times of the glacial interval were over, and now they were going to enjoy one of the many brief periods of warmth that punctuated the past million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceageeurope1), and they all go extinct then? That is a crazy explanation. It did not matter what the climate was doing when humans arrived: all of the world’s easy meat was doomed with the arrival of behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap).

My thinking has become far broader and deeper on those issues during the past 30 years of study. So, the first American Indians wiped out the megafauna (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#clovis), and the invading Europeans wiped out most of the Indians (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), and the invading species from Asia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#asianmigration) (and elephants originally evolved in Africa) wiped out many native species, just as invading North American species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pliocene) wiped out most South American species, which had evolved in isolation for tens of millions of years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southamerica2), just as Australia and Africa had done. So, what is “natural”?

When I read that introduced bald eagles pushed out golden eagles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Cruz_Island#Reintroduced_bald_eagles), which allowed the island foxes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_fox) to recover, the question of what is “natural” comes up, and I think about it all the time, and increasingly as I hike in my favorite mountains (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm). The so-called wilderness that I hike in is a tiny refuge from a human-ravaged planet, in which remnants of the original populations survive, but I also realize that elephants once roamed the land that I call home, so even my wilderness is far from what it “naturally” was in recent times, and where I live was under nearly a mile of ice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vashon_Glaciation#The_maximum_extent_(16,950_to_16,850_BP)) 20,000 years ago.

I also find myself thinking about the geology, the changing climate, advancing and retreating ice sheets, and thinking about what is “natural” can become quite an exercise. For me, I think that the entire purpose of humanity’s tenure on Earth is to learn about love (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#jesus) and become a truly sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), and we have a ways to go. However, initiating the Fifth Epoch will be the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev) and a great achievement in raising our sentience, and human societies will become far more humane than they ever have been. This kind of world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) becomes feasible in the Fifth Epoch, and predation might even end (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=932433&viewfull=1#post932433). So, what is “natural,” and do we even want it?

Hi:

I recently wrote about that most interesting article on the Epstein (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1840&viewfull=1#post1840) issue, and the same author wrote about how she has been blacklisted at Wikipedia by pro-Israeli groups (https://www.mintpressnews.com/pro-israel-activists-blacklist-mintpress-wikipedia/261022/). Seems familiar (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm). :) Wikipedia resembles a CIA asset more and more these days.

Hi:

Some odds and ends… Here is an article (http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2019/august/17/america-s-benevolent-bombing-of-serbia/) on Bill Clinton’s “benevolent” bombing of Serbia. I wrote on the issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kosovo) when it happened, as did Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#yugoslavia). Clinton set a precedent of benevolence that Bush later aped in invading Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), as Obama did for bombing Libya (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya), as Trump did for bombing Syria (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#syria). We are such a humanitarian nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record)! :)

Matt Taibbi, who interviewed Noam for his latest book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1737&viewfull=1#post1737), and who gave one of the best eulogies for Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#taibbi), wrote about the media’s latest spasms over Bernie Sanders and his media criticisms (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/bernie-sanders-washington-post-media-complaint-872349/), and Caitlin Johnstone wrote about a media confession on its elite bias (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/08/16/former-msnbc-reporter-spills-details-on-pro-establishment-bias-in-media/), in a real-world example of Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing). Jeff Cohen, who gave another great eulogy for Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cohen), wrote an article (https://www.salon.com/2019/08/16/memo-to-mainstream-journalists-can-the-phony-outrage-bernie-is-right-about-bias/) on the same Sanders/media subject, as did Johnstone (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/08/17/mass-medias-phony-freakout-over-bernies-wapo-criticism-is-backfiring/). For those with eyes to see, the media is getting laid pretty bare lately.

Here is an article (https://vaxxter.com/the-secret-meeting-that-set-the-tone-for-vaccine-safety-lies/) on the secret meeting to cook the data on the vaccination/autism link, and one on the link of rising childhood cancers and vaccination (https://vaxxter.com/is-there-a-link-between-vaccines-the-rise-of-childhood-cancers/), and the relationship of vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184) with mitochondrial disorders and cancer, which I will write about in my big essay update, as I recently did in my fluoridation essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory). Energy production is the name of the game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aspects) for life.

On vaccinations and drug therapies, the treatment (https://www.wired.com/story/ebola-is-now-curable-heres-how-the-new-treatments-work/?verso=true) and vaccination (https://www.wired.com/story/an-ebola-vaccine-gets-its-first-real-world-test/) for Ebola is getting a lot of press lately. Here is my take on the issue, and on vaccination in general. First, capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#capitalism) and medicine make very poor bedfellows. The police state and gangster tactics used on alternative health professionals are legion (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#quacks), an entirely different paradigm (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction) of health and medicine awaits (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm1), and there have been some victories. The booklet that saved my father’s life (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons) was banned in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#banned), but its recommendations are considered orthodoxy’s first line of defense today (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#mayo), while the disgraced pioneers are rarely given any credit (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#steal).

Going back to Béchamp (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm), an entire line of biological inquiry has been marginalized and attacked, but “impossible” microscopes (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens)) have independently renewed that line, and modern biology and medicine seems to be missing fundamental issues that form the foundation of those disciplines. Until that line of marginalized inquiry comes in from the cold, the entire direction of today’s biology and medicine is going to be dubious.

On the Ebola outbreaks, I doubt that it is a coincidence that they happen in war-torn and impoverished nations (https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/ebola-vaccine-congo-outbreak-1.5201697), courtesy of the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda), and measles claimed more lives (https://www.france24.com/en/20190817-drcongo-measles-killed-more-ebola-epidemic-msf-vaccine) than the Ebola did. Measles was a harmless childhood disease when I was young, and having it likely was a key to developing my immune system. I have had virtually perfect health for my entire life, while my niece and nephew are walking medical marvels, with all sorts of issues, some even life-threatening, and they received endless vaccinations and the like while growing up. So, the war against Ebola seems to be a success, and in some ways, it may be. But if those became Fifth Epoch lands, I strongly doubt that there would be any disease at all, and there are likely other ways to deal with the outbreaks, but the prevailing paradigm is not going to allow it.

Vaccination is a violent insult to the organism receiving it, and in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), I don’t expect vaccination to survive. Similar to how the technologies that I am aware (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) of would overturn today’s physics, those suppressed alternative paradigms would upset the applecart of today’s biology and medicine. While scarcity and fear reign (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), don’t expect a lot to change, however, although there can be small victories.

Wade

Hi:

Here is an article (https://www.rt.com/op-ed/466639-kashmir-hong-kong-british-colonialism/) (and another (https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/08/13/the-world-is-reaping-the-chaos-the-british-empire-sowed/)) that you won’t find in the mainstream media on current events in Hong Kong and Kashmir, as they are both side-effects of British imperialism.

When I recently wrote about Epstein’s death and the Mossad connection (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1840&viewfull=1#post1840), the connection to the Jewish mob was very interesting, as some of the same players were involved in JFK’s murder, with even the same blackmail tactics rising to the surface. What a line of continuity, going back 60 years or so, and you can guarantee that it is all going to get covered-up once again in the halls of officialdom.

That the author who wrote about Epstein/Israel connection has been blacklisted from Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1844&viewfull=1#post1844) is a subject that I know too much about (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikimass.htm).

Hi:

My list of the challenges that people face (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page2?p=1821&viewfull=1#post1821), if they want to help manifest the human journeys biggest event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), at least in the way that I am going about it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), was developed over many years and from many thousands of interactions. My approach does not require some kind of mastery of free energy physics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal). Very few people on Earth today are fit for that. For what I am doing, it is enough to understand that orthodox physics has plenty of room in it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fe) for free energy to be a feasible idea. Bohm (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bohm) was no fringe nut, and orthodox physics has enough paradoxes in it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#vonneumann) to richly support the idea that today’s mainstream science is a very long way from having the universe all figured out. Any scientist who dismisses the idea of free energy as “impossible” or with the “laws of physics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3)” rebuttal is a fool, but the history of science is full of them. Every generation of science has its self-satisfied members who think that they have it all figured out or are close to it. That is the human ego at work.

In my circles, free energy is considered a fact, as members of it have either invented free energy technologies or had hell to pay for even trying (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2), 2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit)), and some had it demonstrated to them (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=1355&viewfull=1#post1355)). Free energy is no big news amongst us. None of us anticipated it or wanted to have lives that resembled some kind of spy thriller. It just came with the territory of what we did, and initially shocked us, for those of us who survived the experience (many didn’t (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors)). Only Indiana Jones types (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jones) can survive on that path for long.

Those humps (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page2?p=1747&viewfull=1#post1747) of caring (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), socialization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), inertia, imagination (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), and so on are not easy to get over. Few even try, and for those that do, it is easy to get stuck along the way, in the many pitfalls (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls) that await the aspirant. There is nothing easy about any of this, which is why I know that I seek needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). It is just the nature of the beast (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), and I am here to help.

My upcoming essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), to likely be followed by a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481), is intended to make the ideas easier to understand, at least initially, but there is not going to be any substitute for doing the work. Helping manifest the biggest event in the human journey requires no less, but what an opportunity for our souls (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael).

Hi:

I often encounter the terms unity and disunity, particularly in the political arena. The only kind of unity worth pursuing is the unity of humanity, and then the unity of all life on Earth. Anything less than that is not very inspiring, and all of the unity talk that I have ever seen is about unity in one’s social group, “movement,” nation, etc., and almost always in the context of contesting with other groups. As such, that kind of unity is based on scarcity, fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), and survival, and is about herd management, not sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) and enlightenment.

Humanity won’t reach unity with immensely rich and abysmally poor people, and as Bucky said, shared austerity (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#austerity) never has and never will work. Only economic abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) can bring about that inspiring unity, and that can only happen with energy abundance. That should be pretty easy to understand, and is essentially the essence of my message (and the little fact that that the technology to bring about that energy abundance already exists on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) :) ). Unity on the goal of bringing that technology to the public is the kind that Brian wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus).

Hi:

I am now working on the essay update. This is going to be quite a chore that I will take the next year or so to complete. Because of the links within the essay, I cannot easily present them, so these draft sections won’t have links in them when I post to forums. Sorry about that. They will be richly linked in the final essay. As I go along, sections that I draft will go through a few iterations before the final version is ready, and I’ll try to keep the redundancy to a minimum as I post up draft sections. I wrote the below this morning.

Best,

Wade

This essay presents many ideas that are important for understanding its themes, and key ones follow.

1. The forces. Mainstream physics currently recognizes four forces in our universe:

a. The strong and weak forces, which govern the primary dynamics within atoms;
b. Electromagnetic, which arises from the interaction of electrically charged particles;
c. Gravity, which arises from the interaction of masses.

The strong and weak forces hold atoms together, tapping the strong force is the key to nuclear weapons, and the weak force governs the decay of unstable (“radioactive”) atoms into smaller atoms. Electromagnetic force is a property of electric charges (today’s convention is that electrons have negative charges and protons have positive charges), and magnetism arises from the “spin” of electrons. The forces create what are called “fields,” such as Earth’s gravitational field. In theory, Earth’s gravitational field interacts with distant galaxies, but that effect is currently unmeasurable by today’s scientific instruments. Einstein’s theory of general relativity presented the idea that gravity was really a distortion of the space-time continuum by matter. Einstein once said, as a kind of a joke, that if you removed the mass from our universe, space and time would go with them.

2. Energy. As Richard Feynman said, we do not really know what energy is. There are two basic kinds of energy that physicists have defined: potential and kinetic. Potential energy is energy bound up in forces in equilibrium, and once that equilibrium is upset, that potential energy becomes kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.

Most of the energy described in this essay is kinetic, and even so-called potential energy can be thought of as kinetic at times. What is called chemical energy is stored in orbiting electrons, and when that energy is stored in a chemical bond, the electrons orbit farther from the nucleus, similar to the potential energy of picking up a rock before you drop it. Einstein’s E = MC2 presented the idea that all mass is merely a form of energy, and the last years of Einstein’s life were spent in pursuit of the Unified Field, which would unite the four known forces into one framework.

One of this essay’s primary upshots is that technologies are extant on Earth not only seem to tap currently unrecognized energy sources, or sources that are not considered exploitable (but that is far from a unanimous opinion among physicists), but that those technologies also hint at a Unified Field, which is the Holy Grail of today’s mainstream physics. That energy is variously called “new energy” and “free energy.” Free energy (“FE”) is the term that I grew up with, and the one that I will generally use in this essay. In clandestine enclaves on Earth today, global elites have developed technologies that not only produce FE, but that technology can also power what is called “electrogravity” technology, in which objects can begin to float in the air when the technology is operated. Electrogravity research was publicly pursued by American technology firms in the 1950s before it all went “black,” in what was likely an impressive act of covering up the entire field, to hide such research and its results from public awareness.

A close colleague had those technologies demonstrated to him long ago, and others have described those technologies. Those technologies are very real and older than I am, but are currently sequestered from humanity for reasons of Earthly power. In my circles, the reality of FE technology is simply a remarkable fact, as several of us have developed working prototypes of such technologies, had hell to pay for trying, including shortened lives, and some “lucky” few of us have had the 35th generation or so of such technologies demonstrated to us in underground settings. It is no “conspiracy theory” among us, but just an acknowledgement of what we have all experienced, at one level or another. What we invented in garages and workshops was developed to a commercial level long ago.

I am going to put aside those ideas until I revisit them late in this essay. The next several hundred pages are devoted to discussing the role of energy in our universe, the journey of life on Earth, and the human journey. That discussion is designed to help the reader develop a comprehensive perspective of these issues, as I have found that without a comprehensive perspective, people are easily led astray when navigating these issues. This essay is to help people stay grounded and help them focus on what is important and help prevent them from becoming too distracted by the three-ring circus that surrounds this milieu, which is full of charlatans, provocateurs and other assailants (1, 2, 3), “skeptics,” the greedy, the easily fooled, megalomaniacs, and the like. The entire free energy field is in a state of arrested development, with its focus on free energy inventors and theorists. The inventors virtually all seek riches and fame, as do most of the theorists. The lure of free energy is often irresistible to those in the milieu or those close to it, and delusions of grandeur beckon.

This is the most important topic on Earth today, and it is easy to get lost in it.
