WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

This morning, I drafted a new chapter of my big essay. I will have a few new short ones at the beginning. I will be making a substantial effort in making this version easier to use and understand.

Best,

Wade



Style, Sources, Terminology, and Influences

This essay is not written for scientific specialists or professional historians, economists, and other academics. It was written for the lay audience. I am an accountant and information systems specialist by profession, and have no scientific or academic credentials that would be recognized by any institutions devoted to the subjects that I write about in this essay and on my site in general. The science in this essay is popularized, as is the history, which means that I tend to avoid specialist terminology and use plain English when I can. Some examples are: instead of “benthic,” I will use “seafloor”; instead of “Platyrrhini,” I will use “New World monkeys.”

I also provide sources for readers to learn more, and I also tend to avoid specialist literature when I can. I use popularized science as much as I can, and this essay’s endnotes are to the same sources that I used for much of my reading experience. My scientific writing ideal is along the lines of Peter Ward’s and Nick Lane’s works, which are often cited in this essay. When I cite scientific papers, I generally try to cite publications designed for the general science readership, such as Science and Nature, which my late colleague Brian O’Leary regularly wrote for during his scientific establishment days. When the subject becomes anthropology, the works of Brian Fagan, Richard Wrangham, and Frans de Waal are sources that I use and whose styles I like. The historian Ian Morris has written important, multidisciplinary work, which I cite in this essay, but what I call his “white male bias” regularly mars his work, and it can be seen in Wrangham’s and de Waal’s work, too, when they stray from science and write on contemporary political-economic issues. This limitation just comes with the scholarly territory, and I have to exercise a great deal of skepticism and discernment when digesting such works, which all serious readers need to exercise, including when reading my work. I am a white male, too.

Examples of works that I cite reluctantly are Jennifer Clack’s Gaining Ground and the essay, “Reconstructing the Last Common Ancestor of Chimpanzees and Humans,” which are full of specialist terminology. Clack’s magnum opus has been described as popularized science, but it isn’t. While Augusti and Anton’s Mammoths, Sabertooths, and Hominids is a fine book on mammalian evolution in Europe, it is a specialist text, and I instead use works such as Prothero’s After the Dinosaurs when writing about The Age of Mammals. Some textbooks were written with a broader audience in mind, such as Cowen’s History of Life, and I use that wonderful book liberally in this essay. I read Scientific American each month, to help stay abreast of recent scientific findings, although I am also wary of its editorial biases, some of which make me shudder. I generally use it as a doorway to dig deeper into the recent scientific literature.

When I write about the past 5,000 years on Earth, after writing was invented, the subjects often enter the realm of historians, economists, and other academic specialties, and I once again try to cite sources that were written for non-specialists. The plain, honest, humorous, yet scientific writing of Edward S. Herman was so inspiring to me over the years that I became his first biographer, which has been one of my life’s greatest pleasures and honors. Similarly, Howard Zinn’s work was a great inspiration for my historical writings, and although written for the lay audience, Zinn’s work was of the highest professional rigor, and his and Herman’s work emerged virtually unscathed from many critiques that have been leveled at their works over the years.

I would be remiss if I did not mention my first "radical” influence, Noam Chomsky, and his faith in human decency and common sense is reflected in his political work, and can even be detected in his linguistics work. In his political work, Chomsky simply presents the facts in rather mundane fashion and lets his listeners and readers figure it out for themselves. That orientation has informed my work, too. This essay in particular, and my site in general, is designed for the lay audience. I know that a sizable fraction of humanity can figure this out for themselves, if they only try. My effort will not succeed unless the people that I seek do the work and reach the level of understanding that my effort requires. When I encountered Chomsky’s work, I had already been radicalized and was an eager student, but it still took me about two years to understand what he was saying. One of my best students dutifully digested the first edition of this essay, published in 2014, and it also took about two years before this essay’s material began making sense to him, at the comprehensive level that my work aspires to impart. This essay was a lifetime in the making, nobody will be able to digest it in one sitting, few will reach the necessary understandings in less than a year, and it could take many more. It is just the nature of the material, and I am trying to make it as easy to assimilate as I can without watering it down. There will never be any substitute for doing the work.

My work covers a vast range of topics, but I believe that genius-level “intelligence” is not required to understand the gist and thrust of my work, which is helping manifest the biggest event in the human journey and understanding why the arrival of abundant and harmless energy could have the impact on humanity and Earth’s ecosystems that I argue for. The basics are not that hard to understand, on an intellectual level. What can make my work difficult to digest, particularly for Americans, is that I challenge the innumerable conceits that underlie the popular and increasingly global culture.

This essay links to Wikipedia many times, but I have a very strong caveat for my readers about using Wikipedia. I regard Wikipedia as more of an index of the Internet than a useful information source, particularly for subjects of current political-economic relevance, as it has been compromised and corrupted to serve various political and economic interests, including intelligence agencies such as the CIA. As usual, the rich and powerful prevail, but one of the greatest and most painful surprises and lessons of my journey was seeing how average people do most of the elites’ dirty work, gratis. It was stunningly evident during my days as an alternative energy activist and entrepreneur, and was obvious during my adventures at Wikipedia.

My style of notes has changed over the years. I never had “ibid” or “op. cit.” in my notes, and in these days of the Internet and online booksellers, I have designed my notes so that anybody can find the works that I refer to by simply pasting my notes into a search engine. Every time that I did that with my notes to this essay in Google’s search engine, the referenced work came up on the first page and usually as the first result. So, although my notes are not in formal academic style, they serve my purpose in allowing readers to easily find the referenced works, which surely satisfies the authors. Nearly every author that I ever contacted and heard back from was pleased to have his/her work cited in mine, and none complained.

Hi:

Yesterday, I took the day off from work and wrote and hiked. I got out the old bowling ball (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page4?p=466&viewfull=1#post466), to worry my body into shape for taking my niece and nephew out backing in a few weeks. It gets harder every year. Sleeping on the ground is the hard part, not slogging up the trails so much.

Although the weatherman predicted only a 25% chance of rain on Wednesday as late as Tuesday, Wednesday began rainy and ended rainy (weathermen are pariahs in Seattle :) ). So, I went to my favorite local trail to haul that bowling ball up the mountain, and hiked through the homeless camp.

In early July, when I last hiked there, I saw the “owner” of the tent with the Christmas lights (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page15?p=1594&viewfull=1#post1594). She was a matronly woman around her late 60s, and her tent had a rain gauge and thermometer, she had one of those little fifi dogs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRqu76-WAmU) that she cared for, and even a little potted garden. She was trying to make it a home. When I passed through the camp yesterday, her tent was gone. My first reaction was sadness that she was gone, but my second reaction was hoping that she left the ranks of the homeless and got a roof over her head, with indoor plumbing.

When I hike through that camp, many thoughts come up, and one of the most prominent is the scandal of having any homeless in the USA, history’s richest and most powerful nation. That tent city is a 20-minute drive from the homes of the current and former richest men on Earth, who are ranked number one and two today (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World%27s_Billionaires#2019). What the hell is wrong with that picture? For the record, that tent city is the Taj Mahal compared to most Seattle area homeless camps, with administrative tents, outhouses, and there has even been a mobile bathroom there before, with a shower. Some camps have Wi-Fi, and they often get free food from local businesses and charities. But poor Cuba has no homeless, and their measures of human development (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index#New_method_(2010_Index_onwards)) (life expectancy, literacy, etc.) are at industrialized nation levels.

And I know that the technology to usher in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but it remains hidden from humanity for reasons of Earthly power (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page3?p=416&viewfull=1#post416). It is surreal.

So, I hiked through the homeless camp and onto my favorite local trail. The first part is relatively steep, before it crosses an electric line corridor and enters the forest proper. I stupidly left all of my several rain hats at home, as I failed to transfer any to my bowling ball pack, and it soon began to rain. I had a rain jacket with a hood, and thought about turning back, but knew that I needed bowling ball miles, so I soldiered on through the mist that soon became a downpour. I did not see another person on that hike, and was likely the only person on that end of the mountain that afternoon.

As I began wondering what the heck I was doing out in those conditions, I reached part of the trail in that first photo, and it was like that moment when Jake Sully finally looked around him in that glowing forest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgS5tGL1j4U). It was a magical moment, which can often happen on days like that (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1812&viewfull=1#post1812), and I recalled that up ahead were squirrel cone piles, berries, mushroom patches, and I earlier caught two slugs being friendly (locals, not the black invasives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_slug#Distribution), which I rarely see in the forests), and I was happy as a clam for the rest of the hike, as it poured rain on me. The Indian pipe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropa_uniflora) that I photographed six weeks earlier (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1781&viewfull=1#post1781), as it was coming up, was gone, with its blackened remains. I had a few red huckleberries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinium_parvifolium), and I’ll never take any aspect of hiking in the forest for granted. I realized several years ago that I have had my fair share in this lifetime, and that anything else was gravy, and each step is joyous.

Yesterday, everybody was in their tents as I hiked past in the downpour on my way out, and I noticed a little library in one of the admin tents, and walked over to see what they were reading. Not highbrow stuff, but they had about 30 books there, and as I got closer, I noticed that there was a woman (around 70) in the growing darkness in that tent, reading, and she looked at me with some curiosity, and I explained that was just seeing what they had to read. I doubt that they would want much that is in my library.

Back to work,

Wade

Hi:

I comment on current events when they are particularly notable and relevant to my work. But what I describe are mainly the dysfunctional symptoms of living in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), all such behaviors, hallowed social institutions, and like will go the way of the dinosaurs, and nobody will miss them. Sexual reproduction is about a billion years old (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sex), and is thought to have arisen due to evolutionary pressures, as meiosis allows for much quicker genetic changes, so that evolutionary adaptation was sped up. Some of the older animalian evolutionary lines, such as fish, or microscopic eukaryotes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mitochondria), have very flexible reproduction and genders, and can even go back and forth between male and female in a lifetime. Those friendly slugs that I saw on Wednesday (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1851&viewfull=1#post1851) are actually both male and female (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug#Reproduction), but all mammals are of one gender for life. It is a simple biological reality.

Only a few species, notably bonobos (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) and humans, and maybe dolphins (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#dolphins), use sex for recreation as well as procreation. All African apes, including humans, are dimorphic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dimorphism), which is thought to arise from male competition for mating privileges. Humans seem to be uniquely “intelligent,” so the whole sex game has taken on new levels of creativity, as well as dysfunction. It is reaching insane levels in the USA these days, which has impacted my life. I’ll be writing about it more in coming days. It is also relevant to the subject matter that I am first updating my big essay for: the human journey since the split with chimps (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit).

Best,

Wade

Reading Warriors and Worriers: The Survival of the Sexes (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17847531-warriors-and-worriers) by Joyce F Benenson, Henry Markovits (With)

I am only partly though it, the quality is not the same as Wrangham, and it has western bias... Still a very interesting book. Wade you should read this and that tome Evolution of Human Childhood

[Krishna]

I am a white male, too.

One of my best students dutifully digested the first edition of this essay, published in 2014, and it also took about two years before this essay’s material began making sense to him, at the comprehensive level that my work aspires to impart.

It is time to discuss what I see as your biases... that needs some time.. will write more.


If you are referring to me (ahh that ego... :) it merely took me five years from 2014. I consider my education complete. Just as I graduated from Sen/Dreze school, I have graduated from Uncle Wade's school.

Unfortunately the education was far longer starting in 2002, and included 2 years of side research on evolution that was not in the syllabus. Not trying to scare away your choir, but they have a really long road....

Hi:

Every time that I get ready to write, Krishna recommends another book (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1311576&viewfull=1#post1311576)! :) On evolution, well, the essay as stands today has a bit in it. :) The update will have plenty more. Well, my learning never ends, but it is all about one thing: helping manifest the human journey’s biggest event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Everything else is noise.

Yes, Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1311577&viewfull=1#post1311577), I have publicly called you one of my best students before. Most of my student/allies lurk in the shadows, so you are a public proxy for them, in ways. It is up to you to decide if you are done or not (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/125-The-Journey-from-Unawareness-to-Knowledge?p=1574&viewfull=1#post1574), but there is going to be a long learning curve for anybody. The curve was long for me, at over 60 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm) and counting. Helping the biggest event in the human journey manifest requires nothing less. I saw what happened (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) to the quick-and-easy ways. This one demands patience, which works for me (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading).

I have been reading The Evolution of Childhood, but I am also planning to write a little on the evolution of old age. Menopause is rare in the wild (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menopause#Other_animals), probably because few animals live long enough to experience it. From an evolutionary perspective, it is unusual, and one idea is that the aged help the young.

I’ll wait to hear about my white male bias (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1778&viewfull=1#post1778). :)

Best,

Hi:

Ah, the things that I see my work used for (http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index2959.htm). Studies on fluoride and lowered IQs (https://www.thedailybeast.com/fluoridated-water-during-pregnancy-linked-to-lower-iqs-study-published-by-jama-pediatrics-says) are not new (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#harold). My fluoride essay is one of my first, at more than 20 years old today (my Columbus essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm) is the other early one), and while I keep updating it (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory), it is one of those essays that has aged well, and, like my writings on diet and artery disease (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), the evidence keeps piling up on fluoride. How an industrial waste got rebranded as compulsory “medicine” kind of sums up the state of Western medicine. It is fitting that as the propaganda bandwagon began rolling for fluoridation, the face of Western medicine (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fishbein) was hawking an asbestos cigarette filter (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#cigarettes). You couldn’t make this up if you tried. I have recently had the tobacco promotion by the AMA dismissed as some bizarre chapter of medicine, long gone in our enlightened age, but there is still fluoride in my tap water. In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), medicine will bear little or no resemblance to today’s capitalist version of it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I just dropped a note (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page2?p=1853&viewfull=1#post1853) on human evolutionary development. Human childhood and old age have roots in our evolutionary journey. For animals to live past their reproductive age is unusual, and scientists wonder what the evolutionary point was.

I won’t be a father in this lifetime, and from a biological perspective, what a waste (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aspects). I am a useless eater. I don’t feel that useless ( :) ), but I understand the biological sentiment.

Homosexuality is another “deviant” lifestyle, as it does not lead to reproduction. Other animals have it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality#Homosexual_behavior_in_other_animals), but it has a unique expression in humanity, as so many other animal traits do, although, like the others, humans are different in degree, not in kind so much (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpculture1), although we humans tend to have a conceit that we are so different in kind.

I accept that humans are an ensouled species (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael) (as cetaceans likely are (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#dolphins)), and souls don’t have genders. Human sexuality and sexual orientation is just a physical plane attribute, and my understanding is that some roles are more suited to one gender than another, such as being male is easier for a warrior, and being female is easier for a server. So, warrior souls get to spend their early lifetimes playing the “might makes right (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#role)” game, and rack up huge amounts of negative karma that they spend their later lives paying back. In their later lives, they will try to balance the sex journey by being female. This can lead to those females’ being attracted to females, as they spent so many lifetimes being attracted to them.

Many women’s libbers were Mature and Old Warriors (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors), and going lesbian was kind of a political statement for many of them, but it also played into the proclivities of their soul role and soul age. Early in my lifetime, women usually became prominent in business and politics by acting like men, which was really jarring to most observers. Only recently have women been coming to prominence with their femininity intact, and our world needs it.

So, longstanding gender roles are being challenged and transformed these days, and plenty of people are confused, which brings me to the subject of this series of posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1852&viewfull=1#post1852). Human adornment is a human universal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up), but I expect it to largely vanish in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). In the Fifth Epoch, people are not going to be pierced, tattooed, dye their hair, and play other fashion games, as all of those artifices simply won’t make sense any longer, as people won’t seek status, especially based on their physical appearance. Those behaviors and ideals will go the way of the dinosaur, and nobody is going to miss them. One of my favorite Gene Roddenberry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Roddenberry) quotes was when somebody remarked that surely human baldness such as Picard’s would be cured by the 24th century, and Roddenberry said that by the 24th century, nobody would care (https://boingboing.net/2015/07/08/star-trek-creators-perfect-c.html).

The ideal of living a human lifetime is to accept the biological package that we came in with and honor it. A great deal of human karma is self-karma, such as reaping the “rewards” of how we treat our bodies. When humans abuse their bodies, the karma is often immediate, such as smoking, drinking, other drug abuse, gluttony, and sloth (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#sloth) leading to shortened lives. I confess to not “getting” tattoos, and both of my brothers are heavily tattooed. It was an indelible mark of the lower classes when I was young, but today, it is the rare NBA multimillionaire who is not tattooed to his eyebrows. It is puzzling to me, and maybe that just reflects my socialization, but I think that all such behaviors will end in the Fifth Epoch. I’ll leave with what I came in with, and the only jewelry that I have ever worn and will ever wear is my wedding ring, as a nod to human customs, and I have the same hairstyle that I left home with, the standard barber haircut, and my hair is mostly gray today, and if I grew my beard, it would be mostly white. I can’t imagine ever dying it.

There have been many trends and movements in the Fourth Epoch, including labor movements, peace movements, various other social movements, and many behaviors that were really unimaginable in the Third Epoch are common today, which is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). People seem to be more accepting of human differences in industrialized nations, but that is relative. I have watched racism (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism) and bigotry come under siege in my lifetime, and it came none too soon, but we have so very far to go.

Along with the various social movements has been a strain of science and scholarship that wars against the idea that humans have any innate differences, that pre-civilized people were peaceful nature-lovers, and anybody can be anything, biology and evolution be damned. I have plenty of problems with Pinker’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker), but his The Blank Slate addresses worthy subjects. Men and women have different evolutionary journeys, as do dogs and all animals, and to pretend that the differences between men and women are purely the result of socialization and conditioning is delusional, if well-intended in ways.

Today, we have the phenomenon of transsexuality, which was simply not possible before the age of Western medicine, and it has gone into overdrive in places such as Seattle and San Francisco. People are getting hormone treatments and surgeries to ape being the opposite gender to what they were born as, and the dominant thinking is becoming that gender is simply a social construct, and somebody like me is called “cisgender” in these strange, postmodern times. I consider it another misguided fad that will vanish in the Fifth Epoch if not sooner. Men are macho for a reason; women bond with their children for a reason, and it is not just our socialization. Women have consequences to sex that men can barely fathom, and it is part of the dance that humans have always engaged in. But, in the Fifth Epoch, I expect that all to change, and the nuclear family (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#family) will likely be seen as a quaint social institution that will largely lose its meaning, only a few “traditionalists” will practice it, and as long as the children can grow up happy and healthy in that situation (and few do today), nobody will mind.

In the Fifth Epoch, human sexuality is going to transform, perhaps radically, but nobody is going to be mutilating their bodies to try to ape the other gender. Today’s transsexual surgeries and the like will be seen as the part of the Fourth Epoch’s dysfunction and confusion.

Just in my lifetime, I have witnessed homosexuality go from deep-in-the-closet to normal and in-the-open. When Ellen DeGeneres came out as lesbian on TV in 1997 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_DeGeneres#Television_career), it was a big deal and her wildly popular show was soon killed by the executives. Today on TV, being homosexual does not even draw any comment. It is just another way to be.

Beginning in 2003, I worked for a software company for ten years in Bellevue, close to Bill Gates (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates). Microsoft has long been the leader on sexual equality and had policies that catered to homosexuals, such as putting an employee’s homosexual partner on the company’s medical plan. I am no big fan of Microsoft’s predatory corporate practices, and have been their customer/victim for 35 years, but they get points for leading the way on homosexual policies and gender practices. I live across the street from Microsoft’s headquarters, and my neighborhood is a little world’s fair, with nerds from the world over living here (partly because they are cheap, but partly because they are smart).

When I worked at my Bellevue software company, just outside my office was a bathroom. It was a one-toilet bathroom that was down the hall from the men’s and women’s bathrooms, and it was an odd but convenient bathroom. A few years later, I heard from a lesbian payables clerk that that bathroom was built to accommodate two transsexual employees who left the firm before I began working there. It seemed like a sensible solution. I have never knowingly met a transsexual, but it would not be a big deal, not in this day and age, especially in the Seattle area, which is second behind San Francisco in the USA in catering to different sexual orientations.

I recently wrote on the scandal of homelessness in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1851&viewfull=1#post1851), and I have written about how Seattle’s oligarchy wiped out a man who proposed a homeless solution, but he fought back and helped derail the campaign for governor by the Attorney General (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=599&viewfull=1#post599), who was a political gangster. The homeless situation in the USA is evil, with no excuse but human greed and indifference, not far removed from that nightmarish Roads world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115). That is a problem worthy of being addressed, and sexual orientation pales next to it (or American foreign policy (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection), or how about free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal)? :) ). Similar to Trump’s alleged epithet of sh*thole countries (https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/11/politics/immigrants-****hole-countries-trump/index.html), Seattle and San Francisco, with two of the most affluent populations on Earth, are turning into sh*thole cities, literally (https://www.newyorker.com/news/california-chronicles/trumps-potty-obsession-and-the-streets-of-san-francisco).

So, a few months ago, I took my wife to her favorite restaurant in Seattle to eat with a few of her relatives. Before the meal, I went to use the bathroom, to find that there were no longer any men’s or women’s bathrooms. They had been made unisex, with multiple stalls in each. I literally used the urinal as a woman used the toilet next to me, with her feet visible, and I was plainly visible to anybody walking into the bathroom. I had not seen anything like it since Kindergarten, and even in Kindergarten, it was not that bad. I returned to the table to tell everybody what I just encountered, and they were shocked. It was surreal, and all that I could think of was that Seattle had just gone too “hip” to bother with separate facilities for men and women. I won’t be eating at that restaurant again.

My niece got a job at a brewery/restaurant in Seattle, and I was the designated driver to take my wife to visit her niece on the job and have a drink and bite to eat. After eating, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands, and again walked into a unisex bathroom, with urinals on one wall and stalls on the other, as men and women do their business in adjacent stalls. I began wondering what the hell happened to Seattle. Then I got home and surfed a little, and saw that Seattle passed a law to require it (https://www.seattle.gov/civilrights/what-we-do/gender-justice-project/all-gender-restrooms/frequently-asked-questions), so that transgender people would not feel stigmatized. How bizarre! Whatever happened to just having a third bathroom for such people, who are rare even in Seattle? Instead, force 99+% of the population into something far outside of their experience to go over-the-top in catering to people who make up a far smaller proportion of the population than the homeless do, and who I strongly doubt are very stigmatized in Seattle.

While Seattle and San Francisco wallow in the feces of the homeless, Seattle mandated unisex bathrooms where little girls get to see me use the urinal and men get to see women use the toilets. I imagine that there are many “courtesy flushes.” Talk about crazy priorities. I see it as just one more symptom of our insane times. The Fifth Epoch can arrive none too soon.

Best,

Wade

Clearly its my blindness, reading Warriors and Worriers has been shocking. Men get a dominant position by co-operating and women because of their subordinate position and wired to compete with unrelated women while being polite. My head spins while I digest the book.


I have been reading The Evolution of Childhood, but I am also planning to write a little on the evolution of old age. Menopause is rare in the wild (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menopause#Other_animals), probably because few animals live long enough to experience it. From an evolutionary perspective, it is unusual, and one idea is that the aged help the young.

Kristen Hawkes has one of the best explanations for old age in humans.

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1311717&viewfull=1#post1311717):

I watched it, which is rare for me, and, of course, I read my favorite source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandmother_hypothesis), and this gives me an opportunity to generalize a little, which I already did in my big essay, but the revision will be a little more explicit and go deeper in some areas.

Going back to the beginnings of life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca), all evolutionary hypotheses are primarily energy-based ones, including the grandmother hypothesis. It is all about energy and reproduction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aspects). When the story life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint) finally reaches the human chapters, it is still the same game, but humans also reached the apotheosis on Earth of intelligence and manipulative ability. However, those were also used almost exclusively in the service of energy acquisition and reproduction. All hypotheses are primarily economic in nature, and the bedrock of that always has been and always will be energy acquisition.

Because we are a sexually reproducing species, as virtually all complex life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals) is, particularly large organisms, the sexes have their own evolutionary journeys. Virtually all simian societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#monkeysplit) are intensely social, the sexual differences can be pronounced, and dimorphism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dimorphism) is one of the most obvious. In each Epoch of the human journey, the energy-acquisition practices dominated social organization, and as the energy surplus increased (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), humans steadily climbed Maslow’s hierarchy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs) and societies became more humane.

The First and Second Epochs are prehistoric, as well as the first half of the Third, so studying them is the province of scientists, not historians, and studying extant peoples gives us some hints of what it was like in prehistoric times, although ethnographic studies are going to have their limitations, as there are no pure Second Epoch people left on Earth today. All have been touched by the Third and Fourth Epochs. The closest window that we have to the Second Epoch is likely contact-era New Guinea (the New Guinea Highlands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Guinea_Highlands#History) were not “discovered” until the 20th century), and it was grim stuff, with headhunting and cannibalism prevalent. The early Second Epoch had a short-lived Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer), until the easy meat was hunted to extinction, and then it got territorial and violent again.

Even the village/tribal level was pretty nasty, especially if it was patrilocal. The New Guinea Highlands were that way at contact. The Third Epoch started with its own brief golden age, when horticulture was easy, although fighting with the hunter-gatherers was typical, and the hunter-gatherers lost every time. They either adopted Third Epoch practices or went extinct, or, at least, the men did, as Second Epoch women flocked to Third Epoch societies, either “given” in marriage to Third Epoch societies, or they were attracted to them. Stealing women has a long history in the human journey, and even goes back to chimps and gorillas. Fertile females are quite the reproductive asset to males, ensuring reproductive fitness. Passing on their genes seems to be a pretty universal motivation, although animals and early humans likely didn’t think of it quite like that.

In some horticultural and fishing societies, women’s economic status rose high enough to where they became matrilocal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), which was likely a first, going back to before gorillas and maybe all the way back to monkeys. Becoming matrilocal broke up the male gangs, and those are the human journey’s most peaceful preindustrial societies. Women just aren’t that into warfare. :)

So, the grandmother hypothesis is an intriguing one, but it has its problems, in that it would not work in patrilocal societies, but there are hypotheses that hunter-gatherer societies were a bit more flexible in that the nuclear couple could live with the mother’s family/band at times, such as during child-rearing. I have my doubts that that was standard Second Epoch behavior, and my guess is that only certain economic conditions allowed for that.

The primary upshot of my work, however, is that the Fourth Epoch shattered the social relations of the Second and Third Epochs, and we see vestiges of them in the Fourth Epoch, but just vestiges. The Fourth Epoch is only three centuries old, so human societies are still adapting to the Fourth Epoch’s means of production, and the vast majority of humanity still lives in predominantly agrarian societies, although the Fourth Epoch has touched all of them, for better or worse.

The tumult that the Fourth Epoch brought to Third Epoch societies is trivial compared to how human societies will transform in the Fifth Epoch. I don’t expect that cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities) as we know them, nations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), races, elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and nuclear families (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#family) will survive for long in the Fifth Epoch. Those constructs made economic sense in earlier Epochs, but in the Fifth Epoch, they will all become obsolete. The global elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) know this well, which is why they have been actively preventing the Fifth Epoch from manifesting (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), and they get help from all levels of our world’s power structure (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), from the denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) of the masses to the turf-protecting activities at the national, state, and local levels (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). The world’s masses will not be willing or 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), although it took me many years to finally understand that. The social approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) is not going to work for this.

In relation to my work, studying the First through Fourth Epochs is only useful in helping understand what the transformative effects of free energy can be (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), so that the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) can keep their eye on the ball and avoid the innumerable distractions that await, and the pitfalls that swallow up people who fail to develop a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). Whenever I saw people fall off the rails, other than their egocentrism (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), their lack of a comprehensive perspective is what led them to disappear into the many rabbit holes out there.

Just yesterday, I was told that unless I could explain free energy and its ramifications in less than ten minutes, I was incompetent. :) That is what I have to continually deal with, as I seek those needles in haystacks.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

To my recent post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1855&viewfull=1#post1855) on the transsexual “epidemic” in Seattle, yesterday, my wife told me about a friend who had visitors from Alabama, she took them into Seattle for sightseeing, and when they encountered Seattle’s unisex bathrooms, it was like they visited another planet, it was so bizarre to them.

What I also need to mention is that this seeming epidemic seems at least partly due to our industrial lifestyles. Fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm), vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184), chemical-laced junk food, the electromagnetic haze that we increasingly live in, a rain of plastics (https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2019/08/its-raining-plastic-from-the-pyrenees-to-the-rockies-to-the-arctic.html), and other insults to our bodies seem to be taking a toll in many ways. Google is actively censoring non-orthodox health sites (https://fee.org/articles/google-is-burying-alternative-health-sites-to-protect-people-from-dangerous-medical-advice/), to add icing to the cake. Just yesterday, also I heard of two teenage girls who have been on the “I want to be a boy” kick for several years. They had an unorthodox immune system treatment that is finally breaking into the mainstream, which my nephew has used very successfully, and they both went back to being happy girls after the treatment. Hmmm.

The Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) can arrive none too soon.

Hi:

I was reading up a little on the Epstein saga (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1840&viewfull=1#post1840). A generation ago, I heard about that billionaire’s proclivities, and I thought, “Well, at least he seems to leave those Victoria’s Secret supermodels alone.” Maybe he did, but was I ever wrong (https://nypost.com/2019/07/14/inside-the-victorias-secret-pipeline-to-jeffrey-epstein/) about Victoria’s Secret. Not too surprising, I guess, but I am kind of amazed to see this come out, when I had specifically wondered about Victoria’s Secret back in the early 1990s. Workplace harassment was a big issue back then, but I saw bad conduct every day at my job. What I saw in the trucking industry (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=272&viewfull=1#post272) was tame stuff compared to the Epstein tales.

It is up to you to decide if you are done or not (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/125-The-Journey-from-Unawareness-to-Knowledge?p=1574&viewfull=1#post1574), but there is going to be a long learning curve for anybody.

Going through the list. I am far from done, with a great danger that I will never complete the curriculum I have trouble with the mystical part as you know.

The way I look at graduation is whether I feel my teachers can learn from me, while the learning has been mostly from you to me as it should be, I hope this student contributed to your knowledge.

Which brings me to one minor moment when I cringed. It was you pointing to a photo of a tribal girl in Africa, breasts exposed and with a cell phone.

Please dont do it again.

The rest of my disagreements with you will follow familiar paths that we have gone down, but I feel still worth discussing again before you really get cranking on the update. I hope the delay would be worth it.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1312141&viewfull=1#post1312141):

Well, sorry that you were offended by that tribal/modern picture from Africa. The girls sure didn’t mind. For the Internet, that is about as tame as it gets. I have also posted gory pics, and I do it plenty on my site (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#glaspie)). I even had a relative refuse to let his children look at my site because of a JFK autopsy picture (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#autopsy). My work is not always safe for work, and if I link to nakedness or gore again, I can put a NSFW warning on it. So, the gore does not bother you? If so, you are a true American now. :) Did you think that I would link to naked women in my essay update? :) Should I do the same when four-letter words are in what I link to? Scientific papers won’t have any of that in it, so you can rest easy.

You got mentioned (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1311621&viewfull=1#post1311621) in my upcoming essay update, and you know how many works I have read because of you. Heck, it is a very public fact on my Avalon thread. It is safe to say that we have discussed dozens of works on my Avalon thread, and most of them might have been introduced by you. I am reading Warriors and Worriers right now, and will report on it. For now, I will just report on Wrangham’s white man’s disease (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1778&viewfull=1#post1778). He teaches at Harvard, the seat of the liberal establishment, where Pinker also teaches (where Noam is treated like Satan (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#devil)). That partly explains why he uses Pinker’s imperial valentine (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker), and so does the author of Warriors and Worriers, who also hails from Harvard.

And while we are at it, so does Sen. When I read Hunger and Public Action, I was surprised that nothing on Western imperialism was even mentioned, and you defended it by replying that they wanted to focus on what nations could do for themselves, not what the impacts of the West were (which largely put them in those positions, such as India). I just filed it away as an odd aspect of their work until I read where Sen largely absolved the British from responsibility for the 1943 famine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943#Causation). Is he flacking for the West? Is that why he teaches at Harvard? Those questions have come up for me. He is sure not Dinesh D’Souza (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinesh_D%27Souza), but he sure isn’t Noam and Ed, either. Those seeming biases have made me wary of his work. An Uncertain Glory is in my stack, and I may get to it someday.

On the mystical part, until you have a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312), entire aspects of our reality will be beyond the pale for you, and that often includes the reality of free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). You have abilities that are entirely natural but completely unused. My experience has been that unless scientists have had mystical awakenings, they tend to become Level 3s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), like your pal Stallman (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130). I found that those flashes of insight (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flash) that Einstein and Heisenberg had were very close to mystical insight, if not the same thing. Everybody that I really respected in the free energy milieu had a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mystical), and we were virtually all scientists or scientists-in-training. It generally ruined them as mainstream scientists, too, which says a lot about mainstream science. Again, none of us got our awakenings through mystical teachings or literature reviews, but by having the experiences. As a channel told me once, experience is the only teacher.

I have found that a mystical awakening brings about a certain flexibility in consciousness, the kind that is extremely helpful in many ways. I am well aware of the problems of the so-called mystical milieu, the New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage), etc. There is a great deal of charlatanry in the milieu, but it is that way on the fringes. However, the truly deadly charlatanry is found in the mainstream, such as imperial propaganda (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing), rebranding an industrial waste as compulsory medicine (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory), which you already took today, hawking an asbestos cigarette filter (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lorillard), the covering up of free energy and related technologies, and wiping out independent efforts to develop them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). By far, the greatest and most damaging charlatanry comes from the mainstream (http://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#orthodoxy), not the fringes (http://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#alternatives).

Wade

Hi:

Readers of my work are well aware of the dangers that I describe in the mountains (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1735&viewfull=1#post1735), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1812&viewfull=1#post1812)). I did my fair share of stupidly dangerous activities in the mountains (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#bishop) (2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=196769&viewfull=1#post196769)) and lived to tell about them. Just this month, a famous University of Washington professor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Nelson) died while hiking (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/obituaries/uw-professor-ann-nelson-remembered-as-brilliant-physicist-advocate-for-diversity-in-science/). I have done off-trail scrambling in the vicinity of where she died, and she was actually on a trail when she fell. Less than a week later, a friend of the family died in a climbing accident (https://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/topic/103033-chuck-has-passed-away/), and he was also a UW professor (https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/seattletimes/obituary.aspx?n=charles-f-spiekerman&pid=193731431). I am attaching a picture that I took of him in June, as he helped celebrate my niece’s graduation from UW.

In my old age, I rarely leave the trail anymore. It is just too dangerous. My uncle who introduced me to hiking (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page10?p=1146&viewfull=1#post1146) was nearly killed two years in a row when he was about 70, going off-trail with his son. I can’t overemphasize the hazards of the wilderness experience, particularly in rugged mountains like the Cascades and Sierras. And that is just for trails and a little scrambling. If you are a climber, you have plenty of pals who came to untimely ends. It just comes with that territory. I would rather die in bed. :)

Wade

Well, sorry that you were offended by that tribal/modern picture from Africa.

my concern was not for myself. there is an enormous amount of difference in power between you, me and tribal african women. i am increasingly uncomfortable using photos from the third epoch, especially people who are dominated (as most women are).
As far as the other gruesome photos, there are so many more things on your site that are shocking, the 6 million kids that die every year because we dont care, is much worse to read, the gruesome photos are the least of the problems.


And while we are at it, so does Sen. When I read Hunger and Public Action, I was surprised that nothing on Western imperialism was even mentioned, and you defended it by replying that they wanted to focus on what nations could do for themselves, not what the impacts of the West were (which largely put them in those positions, such as India).

I did not defend Sen, when I read Sen I remember the other co-author Dreze and recognize that the book has a specific purpose and that Dreze has chosen not to talk about american empire. The audience of the books also make a difference, Indians intuitively know about the effects of the West, so Noam and Ed are less needed in those societies. I take what is of value, while shaking my head at some nonsense. I should add that sometimes you spot biases better than me.

While the state of the world is the way largely in part because of the West, I choose not to forget the role of local elite around the world. We all are human, and the elite also form male gangs and dominate their feifdoms, even as they are subordinate to alpha males up the hierarchy.


they tend to become Level 3s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), like your pal Stallman (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130).

I respect Stallman for Free Software, his clear thinking on Intangible Monopolies, and his enormous work that he has given away , but he is in some respects worse than Sen when it comes to understanding the world or proposing remedies.

However none of the people that you call "your pals" are actually my pals.

I have a question: Sometime back you called me a leftist, what did you notice that gave you that impression?

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1312331&viewfull=1#post1312331):

When I write “pal,” it is only a shorthand for where I was introduced to the material (like your “pal” Ian Morris), and a little teasing. :) I am Ed’s first biographer (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), but I never met him in the flesh. I am honored to carry his legacy a little ways. Were we pals? I think so. Others might disagree. I have plenty of pals in these Internet days that I have never met in person. I have also met many people in the flesh who came to me via my work on the Internet. I have entertained them at my home many times, visited them, etc. The Internet has given my work a reach that I would not have thought possible 30 years ago.

I don’t recall where I called you a “leftist.” I myself try to not get too bottled up in left/right stuff. Hightower said our political system was up/down (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1296620&viewfull=1#post1296620), not left/right. If we get into traditional notions, Noam, Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), Drèze, Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), Parenti (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Parenti), and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall) would be called left, and Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574), my father, and Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) would be called right. Heck, I went to business school (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), and I am about the only business school grad that I know of who is not a Republican. People such as Ralph McGehee were former righties who finally woke up (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon). We can get into the conspiracist/structuralist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) debate, etc. If I did call you a leftist, it was likely due to Stallman (free software (http://ahealedplanet.net/freesoft.htm) is commie stuff :) ), your early reading of Noam, etc. I could be called a lefty, but I eventually realized that the radical left (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm) was not radical enough (reshuffling the deck of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics) is not an answer), so I had to invent “Epochal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable)” to describe my orientation.

The way that I see left and right is that the left is predominantly other-serving (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), while the right is predominantly self-serving. The left is more evolved (http://ahealedplanet.net/opinions.htm#stage), but they certainly have their issues (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors).

OK, you “explained” and did not “defend” Sen. I’ll try to not exploit Third Epoch people. :)

Yes indeed, in a world of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), we have steep political-economic hierarchies. Every imperial effort had local elites working on behalf of the imperial overlords, exploiting the imperial subjects. You are an escapee from the Third Epoch, and, as such, emphasizing Third Epoch elites and their malign efforts is a fine thing for you to do (or what Third Epoch peoples can do about their plight, a la Drèze). I am a member of the Fourth Epoch, from the cradle, and it is only ethical that I emphasize what Fourth Epoch peoples have done to Second and Third Epoch peoples. On that, I follow Noam and Ed’s lead (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ethics). I was attracted to their high ethics from the beginning. For me, integrity is all, and the rest is noise, but it is nearly impossible to find in our world (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). One of the refreshing aspects of Wrangham’s latest effort is how he noted that most people are mostly self-serving, and that only occasionally do their concerns reach beyond their in-group’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) welfare. Amen.

Hi:

I have not done one of these in a while. Today, the views on this thread will reach 2.5 million. Bots, mostly, but plenty of humans, too. The bot and perhaps human traffic declined a lot in the past year, but I will keep broadcasting as long as I can, seeking those needles.

Hi:

A few odds and ends and some essay update previews. Since I first published my big essay, I have been doing quite a bit of study in molecular biology, and my essay update will have a lot more on it. I have already done some of the work, such as the update of my fluoridation essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory), but I will considerably expand on the subjects. For instance, the mitochondrion in a complex cell is a pretty incredible dynamo for powering complex life. Without it, complex life would not exist like it does today; it would not have been energetic enough.

When a photosynthesizer learned to split water (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenic) may be the most important innovation of life next to life’s appearing in the first place. It made both oxygen and hydrogen (and their nuclei, known as protons) available to life as never before, kept the oceans from evaporating into space (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hydrogen), and other benefits. Once oxygen became plentiful, life learned to respire with it, and aerobic respiration (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aerobic) is vastly superior to all other kinds of respiration, and those diagrams in my fluoride essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#energy) help paint the picture. Oxygen is the biggest electron thief next to fluorine, and having oxygen at the end of the electron transport chain is like a big vacuum cleaner, sucking electrons through that transport chain, and in turn pushing protons across the membrane, to come back through it in powering ATP Synthase, which is a turbine that spins hundreds of times a second as it makes ATP, which is the universal energy source for all life on Earth. The electric potential across that membrane is about the equivalent of a lightning bolt. That high-powered dynamo makes our lives possible.

I am currently working on revising the toolset of science (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toolset) chapter, which will have some neat updates.

I am well into Warriors and Worriers (https://www.amazon.com/Warriors-Worriers-Survival-Joyce-Benenson/dp/1522694005), and the subjects it covers will indeed be relevant to my essay update. In a nutshell, men are great at slaughtering each other. That is one of the book’s primary upshots, and the authors stress how much of that is built into our DNA. But the authors are far from DNA determinists, and show how in peacetime, men use their violent proclivities elsewhere. That is a key point of my work. In the Fifth Epoch, war will become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), but there will still be plenty for men to do.

In Warriors and Worriers, the authors stressed that all during the Second and Third Epochs, fighting on behalf of their societies was men’s work, and that it was justified for survival purposes. Well, in the past, that was kind of true. In the contact-era for the New Guinea Highlanders, which gives us the purest window into pre-civilized tribal life, about 30% of all societies vanished each century, through annihilation by warfare. What an awesomely grim statistic. Also, no society wanted to be at war. They all hated it, but they were never able to live sustainably, so they constantly bred to the land’s carrying capacity (and driving all other competitive species and easy meat to extinction along the way), and then battled their neighbors, often to the extinction of the losers. I’ll report more when I finish the book.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I am constantly reminded, in many ways, that what I am doing is unique. Nobody has ever tried what I am doing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) before, so it is necessarily uncharted territory. Dennis and Brian (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852) immediately understood that I was doing something different. In my experience, it took people who had already turned that Rubik’s Cube this way and that to recognize how different my approach was. Not trying to engage the masses (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), not looking for messiahs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), heroes (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#heroes), or free energy inventors and theorists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), not going after the mystics, the rich and famous (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates), the “philanthropists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy),” the “progressives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2),” governments (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1), corporations, and so on. If Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) was alive today, he would understand.

What I constantly get, and you can see it many times on my Avalon thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=91260&viewfull=1#post91260), for instance, is people that stumble in who think that they understand, but haven’t yet begun to. They want to cut to the chase and “do something,” cut corners and rush to the glorious finish line, or sneak up to it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7). They want to run out and tell their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) the “good news,” and are dismayed when they are ostracized, as the reactions that they get are predominantly denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), or their audience seizes on inconsequential aspects of the issue and disappears down those rabbit holes. I have seen it all over the past 32 years and counting.

My own learning curve will never end, and I know that I can barely imagine what the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will look like. However, the important lessons of my journey were all learned by 1988 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and the rest has been the small stuff. But it still took another 20 years after my awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) before the truly Epochal nature of free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paradigm) began to become clear to me. So, how can I expect anybody to quickly learn this material? Nobody can. It is a long, winding road to get there, even for the vanishingly few with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308). So, for my journey, it has been a great lesson in patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), even though the world is literally melting down (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retreat_of_glaciers_since_1850) as we watch. Half of the world’s coral reefs have died in recent years (https://www.newsweek.com/how-save-coral-reefs-extinction-climate-change-1015438), and yet nearly all of humanity is in denial about the abyss that we stand on the edge of (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and are actually falling into today. I get dismissed, badgered, cajoled, and attacked (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) for my approach, but I keep one foot in front of the other, marching onward. I listen for the notes, and sometimes I do hear them. When I do, I encourage more of them. In this way, I plunk along, doing what I can. I am still in the phase of making my material as good as I can, and this upcoming essay update, likely followed by a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481), may be my last great effort in that regard, but we will see how it goes once I am “retired.” I hope that my “retirement” is like Ed’s, active until my life’s end (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#loot). Maybe this effort will make a dent. We’ll see.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As I prepare to get cracking on the essay update, I am reflecting a little on my task, as I did in yesterday’s post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page2?p=1863&viewfull=1#post1863). Why is my “class” a comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) effort? I see two basic categories of reasons:


Understand the issues around free energy, including its basic physics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf1) and why it has been sequestered from humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) how it has been, why all previous independent efforts have failed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), and why my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) may succeed;
Understand what the transformative effects (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) of free energy can be. In order for that understanding to be reached, the role of energy in the universe, the journey of life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint), and the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1) needs to be understood.


I have found that there is necessarily a scientific aspect of those issues, and the reactions that I have witnessed to that scientific aspect have been one of the more telling facets of my effort. I have often received violent resistance to that idea. The scientifically illiterate dismiss scientific literacy as unimportant and even dangerous, and I have been accused of being brainwashed by science and received other attacks/dismissals. Relationships have ended over this issue. I have never received that kind of reaction from the scientifically trained.

The scientifically trained, however, have their own set of issues, and regarding the free energy issue, their most telling reaction is declaring free energy “impossible” and “contrary to the laws of physics.” That is standard Level 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) behavior. They also irrationally dismiss the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) as a “conspiracy theory.” This is where awakening in general (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), and a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312), is important. As I have written plenty, I am not sure now necessary a mystical awakening is to what I am doing, but it can’t hurt, and people without them tend to become materialists (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), deny the reality of organized suppression, cite those “laws of physics” to deny free energy’s possibility, and other dysfunctional reactions. As Brian said, there are no “laws of physics,” only theories, but calling them “laws” gives them a quasi-religious status. Materialism is a religion that the greatest scientists had no use for (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical). Materialism is for the rank-and-file, as a means of herd management, just like the agrarian religions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1).

So, the scientifically illiterate often call me “Mr. Orthodox,” and easily dismissed, while the scientifically trained often call me some kind of fringe nut, and easily dismissed. I have written at length on orthodoxy and alternatives (http://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm), and not many people understand.

As I have stated plenty, reaching productive understandings of these issues is like walking the razor’s edge, and vanishingly few people today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) are fit for the task. Those are just the numbers, and I long ago relinquished any judgment of the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). That said, I also learned my lessons with the time-wasters, and they can be ingenious in finding ways to waste my time. I am only one man, doing something unique on Earth today, and my work has always been free and readily available. I listen for people that hit the notes, and little else. I don’t have time for anything else. Nobody can be enticed or dragged into reaching the understandings that my approach requires. They have to get there under their own steam, and for those who genuinely try, I am here to help.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Here is a brief excerpt from my update on the toolset of science chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toolset).

Humanity is Earth's leading tool-using species, and our tools made us. Twigs, sticks, bones, and other organic materials were undoubtedly used as tools by our protohuman ancestors, but the only tools to survive for millions of years to be studied today are made of stone; the oldest discovered so far are about 3.4-to-3.3 million years old. The human line’s tools have become increasingly sophisticated since then. The Industrial Revolution was accompanied by the Scientific Revolution, and the synergy between scientific and technological advances has been essential and impressive, even leaving aside the many technologies and related theories that have been developed and sequestered in clandestine enclaves.

The history of science is deeply entwined with the state of technology. Improving technology allowed for increasingly sophisticated experiments, and advances in science spurred technological innovation. While many scientific practices and outcomes have been evil, such as vivisection and nuclear weapons, others have not been destructive to humans or other organisms. The 20th century saw great leaps in technological and scientific advancement. My grandfather lived in a sod hut as a child, his son helped send men to the Moon, and his grandson pursued world-changing energy technologies and still does. Relativity and quantum theory initiated the era of modern physics and, with their increasingly sophisticated toolset, scientists began to investigate phenomena at galactic and subatomic scales. Space-based telescopes, electron microscopes, mass spectrometers, atomic clocks, supercolliders, computers, robots that land on distant moons and planets, and other tools allowed for explorations and experiments that were not possible in earlier times. It is not just the improvement in tools that is propelling these advances, but ingenious new ways to use them, which increasingly cross disciplinary lines, which lead to new discoveries.

An example of the advances being made is the issue of feathers on dinosaurs. Immediately after the 1859 publication of Darwin’s The Origin of Species, Thomas Huxley proposed that birds were descended from dinosaurs. A fossil feather was discovered around 1861, the same year that the first archaeopteryx specimen was unearthed in London, which began a debate that still exists as I write this, but paleobiologists who argue that birds are not descended from dinosaurs comprise an almost non-existent faction in 2020. Other than that tiny faction and Creationists who subscribe to their views (because it seems to help bolster their idea that evolution is an invalid theory), the issue was settled in the late 20th century via fossil discoveries in China. In the generation since those discoveries, scientists have amazingly developed a very good idea of what colors their feathers were.

Paleontologists, who study fossils, have used scanning electron microscopes on fossils since the 1980s, and when they studied fossil feathers, they found cylindrical structures that were later tested and found to be made of organic compounds, and they concluded that they were bacteria that fed on the feathers, decomposing them. That did not make a lot of sense, as there was not much digestible material in a feather, but the paleontologists preserved their findings, believing that their discovery was related to fossilization. In 2007, a graduate student at Yale scanned a fossil feather that was more than 50 million years old, and thought that those cylinders looked like pigment cells in bird feathers. His professors agreed, which led to the first scientific paper on the subject. The pigment cells in animals, called melanosomes, produce colors, and feathers have them, too. In pigment cells in today’s birds, different-shaped cells produce different colors, and when scientists discovered the same-shaped cells in fossil feathers, they could confidently infer the original color of those feathers. The reconstructions based on that reasonable assumption were stunning, and in 2020, many dinosaurs have had their colors reconstructed, and scientists have discovered pigment cells in the skin of non-feathered dinosaurs, and have reconstructed their colors. Dinosaurs had coloring similar to today’s animals, with display (to attract mates) and camouflage (to hide) colors.

The reconstruction of dinosaur colors has yielded surprises. Birds also have iridescent colors that shimmer in sunlight as a display function, and iridescent pigment cells are very distinctive. The dinosaur microraptor was originally hypothesized to be nocturnal, based on the size of its eyes, but reconstructions have shown that it had iridescent feathers, which would serve no purpose for a nocturnal animal, so it was likely active in the daytime, not at night.

Hi:

While working on my toolset chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toolset) revision (almost done for now), I came upon another case where failing to file a form (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Larson#Federal_lands_dispute) became a felony that warranted prison time. That happened to a scientist, whom the judge kangarooed into prison. That scientist later said that two years in prison ruined him for some time, before he could recover.

Dennis not only went to prison for failing to file a form (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate), but the officials doctored his file to put him in the shark tank (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), and they repeatedly put him in position to be murdered by the inmates. I call that justice, American-style. When I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page3?p=243&viewfull=1#post243) immediately after he survived the prison experience, he was raring to go at it harder than ever, and soon began barnstorming the USA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=422926&viewfull=1#post422926). That is just another example of how incredible Dennis is.

Hi:

I have been aware of Overstock’s former CEO, Patrick Byrne (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_M._Byrne), for many years. In corporate America, he always stood out. Matt Taibbi (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1737&viewfull=1#post1737), one of Ed’s eulogists and recent interviewer of Noam, wrote an article (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/maria-butina-russia-spy-fbi-860256/) on the latest Byrne saga. Byrne got in way over his head, and one quote from the article showed me that Byrne found out a little about how it really works, when he said:


“I thought the world was like The Pelican Brief. When Julia Roberts figures out the scheme and she types it up and puts it on the internet, all the good guys swoop in. What I learned … is no, what happens is [the power structure] reveals itself.”


The Pelican Brief is a Hollywood fantasy. The real world is a different matter. There is no group of good guys, waiting to swoop in and save the day, or take the truth and run with it. The truly good guys are needles in haystacks, and the public wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them over the head, particularly on subjects like these.

Dennis has given the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) some interesting days at the office, but the media has libeled (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707) him since I met him (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news). The GCs pay far more attention to me than the public does. That is just how it works. My wife and I are watching Stranger Things (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_Things) right now. In this era of streaming TV, without commercials, with adult themes that did not exist when I was growing up, I’ll watch an hour a night with my wife (sometimes two). It is kind of a golden age of TV right now. It used to be that TV and movies were separate mediums, but that line has now blurred, and movie actors are often on these new adult TV shows. All that said, it is still TV, and is for entertainment, not education, but I’ll see bits that echo the real world from time to time.

Last night, we were watching the “Dig Dug (https://strangerthings.fandom.com/wiki/Dig_Dug)” episode, and the black kid tried to tell a girl what was happening, and she refused to believe that any of it was true, and even ridiculed him. In the same episode, a boy and girl got evidence that they wanted to make public, to blow the lid on what was happening, and were told by an old-timer that the public would just laugh it off. In order to make it believable, they were going to water it down, to get it through the public’s narrow reality window.

How true that all rang. If you really have the goods and try to go public with it, you will get far more interest from the power structure than you will from the public. Also, for people like me, not only do you face denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), indifference, and outright fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) from the public at large, but there are people in the milieu who are outright phonies, making claims that are sensational, with bits of the truth in their spiel, but with lots of disinformation, too, and the public laps that up. I’ll get compared to those people by beginners who do a little surfing. There is a world of difference between what I am doing and those talking heads, and those recent episodes remind me what I am up against as I do my work.

Wade

Hi:

To my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1868&viewfull=1#post1868), I have long referred to my few fellow travelers that I have much respect for (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), 4 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), 5 (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm), 6 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1404&viewfull=1#post1404)), scholars of conscience that I learned so much from (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#parenti)), pals who gave it the good fight (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398)), and others. What we did was the furthest thing from what the vast majority of the New Age/conspiracist talking heads do. Our work was heavily documented, including courtroom testimony (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681), while so many of the talking heads have absolutely no support for their claims. It is easy to say that you are some kind of insider, coming in from the cold, to tell the public the truth of what happens in the inside, or how insiders took you under their wing and gave you the scoop. I trust almost nobody who does that. For every Real McCoy telling it straight, there are many fakes and the compromised, in one way or another. What Ralph did (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#intelligence) is the kind of whistleblowing (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#whistleblower) that you can take to the bank. The spook world (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia) does not leave a paper trail, and that is part of the problem, but other than the few like Ralph, so-called insiders, with their often-sensational details, should all be treated with a very healthy skepticism.

Getting at the important truths of our world is hard work, only suited for the awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) and awakening. It can be insanely dangerous, too, and I do what I can to keep people around me, and me, out of trouble. It is a lower-abrasion path. :)

Wade

I understand the importance of energy, but I think cognition, consciousness needs to be given almost equal weight. Starting from proto life, when energy was available life slowly but surely shaped itself and bumped and started using available energy. For all us animals that means predation (grazing) of plants and more for the carnivores. Control of fire was a slow process, which went hand in hand with increase in cognition and brain size. This slowly made us super predator and hyper keystone species, which is also dependent on the collective social brain. That social brain continued to evolve in the second epoch and when conditions permitted with the interglacial warming the third epoch was ushered in. Again this involved cognitive changes made possible only by extracting more energy, but also the energy could be extracted only because of cognitive changes.

Which brings us to today, the incomplete transition to fourth epoch was again a cognitive change going hand in hand with the energy change, it is no wonder that societies with lesser social brain capacity because of lack of education are unable to use energy. This takes me to Amartya Sen and my recent readings on education, had countries at independence made education a priority, they would have sent 100% of kids to high school and sent significant fractions of their kids to college. The industrial revolution would have been complete by 1980. Instead its not going to finish until 2040's especially in Africa.

Speculatively it suggests that for the fifth epoch to come, the cognitive revolution of the fourth epoch must be complete. Secondly it suggests to me that your choir is going to be mostly college educated.

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1313180&viewfull=1#post1313180):

As I state all the time, there are only two things in our universe, energy and consciousness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energy1). The mystical perspective states that the entire purpose of physical reality is to evolve consciousness. For ensouled species like humanity, the soul age concept (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age) is important. But without energy, there is nothing in physical reality, and certainly not consciousness as we know it. Panpsychism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panpsychism) is a rather materialistic view that consciousness is an aspect of everything in physical reality. The enlightened mystic will say that love is the energy of creation (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest), and that we are here to learn about love (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#jesus), as we are creators-in-training.

My big essay is explicitly clear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) on the role that energy plays in the journey of life on Earth and the human journey, and my upcoming essay update will make it even clearer. The human journey is a unique one on Earth, and what I wrote nearly 20 years ago on (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#factors) the subject has not changed, in that the rise of humanity was predicated on three things:


Energy
Human intelligence
Human manipulative ability


That will never change. Whether we turn Earth into a cinder or heaven (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth) is all about the integrity issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=1280&viewfull=1#post1280), or love. The rest is noise. My list of the qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) that the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) needs is a ranked one. If a person does not care (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) and is not awake or awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), the rest does not matter. I rank scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) way below it, and my jury is still out 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. Here you are, without one.

Native human intelligence likely has not changed in more than 50,000 years, since humans became behaviorally modern (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap). Your pal de Waal ranks chimp social intelligence as equivalent to human social intelligence. That is quite a claim, but I see how he got there.

The increasing sophistication and complexity of human societies, particularly in the past 10,000 years, was an energy event above all else. Without the calories provided by domestication (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#natufian), civilization would have never appeared, and literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing) was one of its side-effects, but it was largely for elites until the rise of Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal35) to industrialization. I have a whole bunch to write on those subjects in the essay update.

I agree that an industrial society is not very feasible with an illiterate populace, although literacy was not that important to its pristine instance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse), in England. When the Industrial Revolution began in England, around 1700, England was still less than half literate (https://www1.umassd.edu/ir/resources/laboreducation/literacy.pdf), and the Industrial Revolution began in the more illiterate countryside, not in the more literate cities. Big subjects.

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), I expect that literacy is going to give way to far better ways of information transfer, such as how children learn in that heavenly Roads world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748). Like elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), literacy may well be a phenomenon of the Third and Fourth Epochs, which will die out in the Fifth. My own personal library, which makes it hell whenever I move residences, will be seen as a curiosity of the Fourth Epoch. If not for copyright laws, my library could be reduced to one small drive that I can fit in my hand. I doubt that I’ll live to see it, but I like the idea.

As I see it, the issue of education is that unless that education can be used, it is fairly useless. But literacy is cheaply achieved, so educating the peasants of developing societies is easy to do, so we have seen a global rise in literacy and other aspects of the demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic). But in non-industrial nations, it is not all that useful. If they still have to go hoe that field, getting a degree in physics is not very helpful, and will be seen by their communities as a waste of time and energy or a way to escape to industrial nations. You used your education to escape India, and you are never going back. Heck, I have seen it in my family. In the redneck side of my family (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion), nobody graduated from high school, the women were all pregnant by age 15, and there was not a book in the house. It was the rare redneck that achieved it, but in the USA’s postwar boom (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), people such as Joe Bageant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Bageant), Dennis, Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), and my father escaped the farm. There have been push-pull dynamics with that phenomenon, but in Appalachia, the rednecks rarely strayed far from the hollers where they were raised. The very term “redneck” referred to the red that their necks got as they stooped over their fields. Dennis was raised that way, until he was forced to leave home at age 13 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=576&viewfull=1#post576), which was not unusual in that culture. In Joe Bageant’s last works, he wrote that the very people that he wrote about, his redneck friends and relatives, would be the last people on Earth to read his books. My friends and relatives are sure not my target audience.

So, is a college education needed to be part of the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir)? Well, I can see that some kind of education has a certain importance, but I made my work so that people do not have to be professional scientists to understand. But I get your point that people with formal educations beyond high school may be my primary audience, but there is also brainwashing that comes with the college experience, as the university systems churn out cogs in the machine. So, if I need college grads, it will be the very rare college grad. As I have stated, I am about the only business school grad that I know who isn’t some kind of Republican/libertarian.

This is a big, important subject.

Hi:

I finished Warriors and Worriers (https://www.amazon.com/Warriors-Worriers-Survival-Joyce-Benenson/dp/1522694005) last night. Mr. Sociobiology, Edward O Wilson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._O._Wilson), gave it high praise. It is an important work, the primary author is Wrangham’s protégé, and it shows. In a nutshell, the work is about how men and women are genetically hardwired for certain behaviors. Men are inherently social with other men, mainly so that they can band together and defend their societies in warfare. Women, on the other hand, are wired to bear and raise children, and their adaptations are to attract the help needed to ensure that their children are healthy and happy.

The primary author Joyce Benenson, did a lot of original work on these topics, working with small children, before their societies had socialized them that much. The gist is that the behaviors of men and women have evolutionary roots that go back to monkeys (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1), and that the past few centuries of industrialization and the demographic transition are anomalous. Many traits of men and women are rather out of place in modern societies, as evolution has in no way caught up with the dramatic changes in the human condition of the past 10,000 years, and especially the past few centuries of industrialization. This is a subject that I will write on plenty on in my essay update, but as far as the journeys of men and women, and how they are wired today, what came through very clearly, which Benenson openly admitted, is how the song of scarcity has shaped us, which was the subject of the first post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/4-The-Song-of-Scarcity?p=10&viewfull=1#post10) at my forum.

In a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance), men will not compete and will not be interested in slaughtering the enemy, because there won’t be any, and women will not compete against each other to attract a bread-winning man. Those behaviors will go the way of slavery (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend), and I don’t expect that the nuclear family (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#family) will be the dominant social unit in the Fifth Epoch. Something infinitely more enlightened will replace it. Genetics will not be the basis of social structures. That began to change with the rise of civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1), as professional organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#professions) began to supplant kinship social structures.

Big subjects. Benenson is a little too gene-centric, IMO, but there is a lot to her explanations as to how we got here. But I am about what changes the Fifth Epoch will bring, and work such as hers is only relevant to my work in how it can hint at what will change in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). The world as we know it will end, and the roles of men and women will only faintly resemble what we see today.

The increasing sophistication and complexity of human societies, particularly in the past 10,000 years, was an energy event above all else. Without the calories provided by domestication (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#natufian), civilization would have never appeared, and literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing) was one of its side-effects, but it was largely for elites

I am not thinking of cognitive changes just in terms of education. What to crop, when to crop, how to safeguard, how to process the crops etc.. there are so many cognitive changes in the third epoch. Which is why I say the energy issue and the cognitive issue are intertwined and cannot be separated.



I agree that an industrial society is not very feasible with an illiterate populace, although literacy was not that important to its pristine instance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse), in England. When the Industrial Revolution began in England, around 1700, England was still less than half literate (https://www1.umassd.edu/ir/resources/laboreducation/literacy.pdf), and the Industrial Revolution began in the more illiterate countryside, not in the more literate cities. Big subjects.

The cognitive changes for industrial revolution happened in all the people involved in the triangular trade. Whether or not they are formally literate. Watermills, sailboats, smelting and skills required for them is a cognitive change.



My own personal library, which makes it hell whenever I move residences, will be seen as a curiosity of the Fourth Epoch. If not for copyright laws, my library could be reduced to one small drive that I can fit in my hand. I doubt that I’ll live to see it, but I like the idea.

I am trying :) Hunger and Public Action will be available online next month. Stallman's writing have always been online.



As I see it, the issue of education is that unless that education can be used, it is fairly useless. But literacy is cheaply achieved, so educating the peasants of developing societies is easy to do, so we have seen a global rise in literacy and other aspects of the demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic). But in non-industrial nations, it is not all that useful. If they still have to go hoe that field, getting a degree in physics is not very helpful, and will be seen by their communities as a waste of time and energy or a way to escape to industrial nations.


This is not true at all. Kids learn what they learn in childhood without regard to its usefulness, it is society/adults that decides what they learn. In today world after they are educated they can build/run/manage factories and industrialize. In todays world education comes first before industrialization.

If you want to argue that people learn for the pure joy of it, unrelated to any future benefits, while that is a nice ideal, I don’t know of an evolutionary psychologist on Earth who is going to agree with you, and I won’t either. You are a big fan of literacy and education. I am not in your camp. You understandably still have a foot in the Third Epoch. I don’t. I am about making the Fifth happen.

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1313213&viewfull=1#post1313213):

If you want to argue that people learn for the pure joy of it, unrelated to any future benefits, while that is a nice ideal, I don’t know of an evolutionary psychologist on Earth who is going to agree with you, and I won’t either.

I am not sure when i argued that kids learn for the pure joy of it. I said "it is society/adults that decides what they learn." In evolution of childhood melvin konner says "every society views children as a vessel to be filled with knowledge and culture" close paraphrase from memory since it's been a few years since i read the book.. A child has no ability to know whether what is being taught by society is useful or not, they absorb things as children. Teaching kids is what adults do in every epoch, one can observe teaching or its precursors in bonobos and other animals.

The adult who got the physics degree won't go and farm, they will find a factory to work in, start one, or bug their politicians for jobs. That is precisely how countries are becoming industrial in today's world. Emigration is a small part of the story of the world. Even net Mexican immigration for the last decade is zero. And indians dont care as much to emmigrate, as they used to do.



. You understandably still have a foot in the Third Epoch.

My grandmother was a.doctor taught in the western tradition. All my uncles were college graduate, most of my aunts went to school. All of my cousins went to college. I was born in a house with running water and electricity, we always owned a motorcycle or car. I lived in a house made of concrete brick and steel. I lived in urban india only far from the third epoch of rural India. Was I exposed to the third epoch sure i was, but not all that directly.

I was born into a family environment of the fourth epoch, and am solidly a fourth epoch person even if i had never left India.

Hi:

After finishing Warriors and Worriers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc/page2?p=1871&viewfull=1#post1871), I want to discuss some of the vast changes that came to Western societies as a result of the Industrial Revolution.

As a prelude, you can read summaries of the discussions in Ian Morris’s Why the West Rules – For Now (https://www.amazon.com/Why-West-Rules-Now-Patterns/dp/0312611692) for why England had an Industrial Revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse), the only pristine instance that there will ever be. Many economists and historians, who have not and do not understand the energy issue, will credit various aspects of the dynamics, but their neglect of the energy issue invalidates their work as comprehensive explanations. Like Rome and Tenochtitlán (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tenochtitlan1), Western Europe learned how to turn a body of water into a low-energy transportation lane, but that trick goes back to the earliest civilizations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watertravel). Without low-energy transportation lanes, civilization would have never developed, as the “tyranny of distance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tyranny1)” would have prevailed. What Western Europe did, turning the global ocean into one big transportation lane, was the technical feat that allowed them to conquer the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2). It was only an improvement over Rome’s feat.

But, if you read Paul Bairoch’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bairoch) work (such as Economics and World History), for instance, you will see that the colonial economies and so-called triangular trade had a modest impact on developing European economies. The important dynamics happened within Europe, and most importantly, tapping the energy of fossil fuels. Without that, there would have been no Industrial Revolution, as Europe would have hit the hard ceiling (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/107-Energy-thresholds?p=1147&viewfull=1#post1147) that doomed other agrarian economies. Bairoch showed that while exploiting the colonial domains was not all that helpful for the Western economies, it was devastating for the colonial subjects (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), for those who survived the process, as they were effectively enslaved.

Europe had been riding an unprecedented energy wave for several centuries before they conquered the world. The explosion of watermills in Western Europe was unprecedented in the human journey, with the first land-based power of significance that was not generated by muscles. It began with the Greeks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill), but the medieval explosion in Western Europe was unprecedented. In 1492, when Columbus (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm) stumbled into the New World, European watermills performed the work of at least 10 million people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill1). That impact cannot be overstated, but when the energy of coal was tapped en masse in England, it was the first time of significance that humanity tapped an energy source that was not dependent on recent and current solar energy. A tree was the deepest in time that humans mined energy of until then, and it was generally less than a century of energy capture, other than the first forest rapings (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy). The coal deposits were hundreds of millions of years old (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coal1). That was the key to the Industrial Revolution, and everything else is noise. On cognition, to paraphrase Ian Morris, thinking is just another way of using energy. :)

Warriors and Worriers deals with the long evolutionary journey that is baked into men’s and women’s DNA, in ways that relatively comfortable Westerners are usually oblivious to. And a lot of the change is very recent. Until the Industrial Revolution’s demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), a newborn had about a 50% chance of reaching adulthood. That meant that to just keep populations stable, women had to give birth four times in their lifetimes and watch two of their children die, and about 15% of the women died due to the rigors of childbirth. Today, one in 10,000 Western women will die from childbirth complications, and a Western newborn has a 98% chance of living to be an adult. The impact that that has had on women cannot be overstated.

I have twice visited the town where my grandfather was born (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas), and I also visited the town where he was raised. I visited cemeteries where my family was buried, and that, and hearing my aunt, grandfather, and other relatives describe their ancestors and those days, drove home how different those times were from today, only a century later.

My grandfather was a twin, but his brother died as an infant, and we visited his grave. While visiting the graves, I heard the stories around their deaths. One relative was horsing around with his siblings when his parents were gone and got hit in the testicles so hard that he died from it. I have never heard of such a thing in my lifetime. Another relative was just a boy, and his family filled a big tub with scalding hot water, to use for plucking and preparing chickens. The tub was sitting on the floor of their kitchen, and the boy ran into the kitchen and fell face-first into that tub of water, which instantly killed him while his parents watched in horror. Another relative, whose grave I visited, was killed one day when he walked out of his front door, to be greeted by a tornado. I heard story after story of untimely deaths, the kind that are virtually unheard of in the USA today. Even with all of the crazed mass shootings and seeming epidemic of violence, the USA is far safer than it once was.

At the cemetery where I visited the tornado-killed relative’s grave, the cemetery in the attached photo, as my grandfather opened the gate to it, were other family graves. I also attached a picture of my aunt’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page8?p=914&viewfull=1#post914) opening the same gate, 17 years later. I will discuss my family’s graves there, which are listed here (http://www.interment.net/data/us/ks/rooks/chalk_mound.htm). Elmer Frazier died at about age 31, and I think that he is the one that a tornado killed. Two children in that plot died as infants. C.S. Frazier I believe was Elmer’s father (another Cyrus, I believe), and was likely part of the 1879 migration from Indiana. My family profited handsomely (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#familyname) from all of that “free” land that the Indians had been recently cleared from, using the phony treaties that George Washington recommended (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint), backed up by the U.S. Army. One infant was likely C.S.’s, while the other was Elmer’s. So, as bad as they had it, the Indians had it infinitely worse. So, C.S. Frazier died at age 60, Elmer died at about 31, and the other two died as infants. It looks like that may have been the end of the line for that branch of my family, but I think that that C.S. might be my great, great, great grandfather.

But what struck me even more was pondering the graves of the nearby Doane family. Clayton was the patriarch, born in 1882, probably born there as one of the earliest homesteader families. He had a daughter, Inez, who died at age four in 1914. Ten years after Inez’s death, Clayton’s wife, Lauretta, gave birth to Clayton Junior in 1924, at age 40, and she died the next day, obviously of the complications of childbirth. Clayton Junior died in 1945 at age 20, as a soldier in World War II. Clayton Senior lived until 1969, dying at age 87. Those graves still haunt me. Only one of those eight people lived to be my age today (61), two died as infants, one at age 4, another died a soldier’s death at age 20, and his birth killed his mother, and one by tornado. That is how life was about a century ago, for those homesteaders, something that Americans today have a hard time imagining. Times have radically changed in the past century.

I’ll also attach a picture that drives home what my grandfather told me, about how he and his friends shot at “anything that moved” as children. It is a picture of Sam Frazier, my grandfather’s grandfather, posing with a badger that he killed on the family homestead. Such pride in slaughter, and it might be the most famous of my family’s photos, within my family. It was framed on my grandfather’s wall as I grew up. I visited that homestead, and Sam is buried at another nearby cemetery, and I am posting up a picture of his gravestone. Sam was born in 1862 (maybe to C.S.), and moved to Kansas in that 1879 migration.

When the Dust Bowl (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_Bowl) hit, my grandparents and many other relatives fled, and after several years of migrating to Arkansas (where one aunt was born), Wyoming, and Idaho (where the farmer stole the harvest money that my family was working the fields to get paid from), my family made it to Bellingham (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellingham,_Washington), where they heard about jobs in the shipyards, and I have aunts, uncles, and cousins that still live in Bellingham. My great, great grandfather Sam stayed on the homestead, however, and died in Dust Bowl misery in 1939 (a self-created misery, as the Dust Bowl arose from those homesteader farming practices). My grandfather told me about Sam’s grim last years.

My grandmother was pregnant with my father when they moved to Bellingham, but she was so malnourished that my father was born with rickets, weighed less than five pounds, and was a runt until a growth spurt in high school brought him to nearly six feet tall. My father should not have survived his infancy, but somehow did.

On my mother’s side, she was born with a heart defect and the doctors predicted that she would die in childhood, but she somehow survived. A few years later, my grandmother gave birth to twins, but they were stillborn. My grandfather was a first-generation American, born in Minnesota to Norwegian immigrants in 1892, as I recall, and he was a distant cousin to my grandmother, which was another sign of the times. My grandfather was crippled in World War I’s influenza epidemic and should not have survived (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#influenza). My grandmother’s next two births produced surviving children, my aunts, one of whom was born with a club foot while the other had anemia. My mother had flat feet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_feet), which I kind of inherited, and I also had a heart condition while growing up, which was also probably inherited. My mother lost all of her teeth to their atrocious diets and poor dental hygiene by the time she left home.

Those events were not part of some distant beleaguered past, but during the rise of history’s richest and most powerful nation. For the entirely of the human journey until industrialization, the primary preoccupation of all peoples was getting enough to eat. Fat Westerners can barely fathom it. Today’s Americans are history’s fattest and most sedentary humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#sloth), and the rest of the West is not far behind.

Anyway, that long journey has left its mark on humanity, and the primary author of Warriors and Worriers makes the case for how a lot of it is still built into our DNA. In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), human nature will also change, not just our economic circumstances (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive). Just as today’s Americans have a hard time comprehending how life was in the USA just a century ago, they haven’t the foggiest idea of what is coming, if we can get over the hump (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why), and that is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine).

Hi:

This will be a short one on what people face when walking on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584). Dennis has always been a businessman, and in his early days, everybody wanted to steal his businesses (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=579&viewfull=1#post579), and they were successful many times. After I had witnessed several attempts to steal our business, I told Dennis how shocking it was to see, and he said that the first 50 times he saw it, it shocked him (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), too.

Dennis was an incorrigible idealist, however, and his efforts attracted interest from the power structure, beginning with local interests. Dennis’s efforts, going back to the beginning, were going to be disruptive to established industries, so, he began to suffer from organized suppression, too. If somebody was not trying to steal his business, they were trying to wipe it out. That is how capitalism really works (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#capitalism), not the fantasy version that we see today in the business press, etc. In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), I don’t know of a profession or industry that has escaped that dynamic. And the bigger and more powerful the industry or profession is, and the more concentrated its ownership is, the more that such professions and industries will resemble outright rackets (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets), and the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1167&viewfull=1#post1167) sit atop that bloody heap.

When anybody comes along and challenges the rackets, the tactics of suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make) are similar. They will try to strip away all means of defending yourself, and when they finally have you helpless and alone, then it is easy to dispose of you. I saw it first with Dennis. Arrest him with a million dollar bail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail) for failing to file a form (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate), wipe his business out (and stealing it accomplishes the same goal), then kangarooing him into prison is easy, and then getting him murdered by the inmates (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes). It was only because of extraordinary efforts by Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage), me, and Alison (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=211&viewfull=1#post211) that Dennis is alive today, and Dennis’s amazing ability to dodge the bullets. Of course, at the level of the game that we played at, they tried carrots, first (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer)), as they protected the greatest racket on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/114-The-Energy-Racket?p=1253&viewfull=1#post1253). The other rackets are not as lucrative, and they often go straight for the stick.

When Gary refused to go along with a frame job (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1400&viewfull=1#post1400), he was framed instead, which ended his career, but his adventures were only beginning. He bought a gas station, bar, and convenience store complex in Ventura County after his career ended, and that was his nest egg. Their (the gangsters that ran Ventura County, mainly its judges) first attack was to thwart the renewal of his liquor license. Then it was to declare an old underground gas tank a hazardous waste site, then it was to send a food inspector to his bar and condemn it. When all of that failed to work, then the fire department broke into his business and fabricated an extension cord violation. What happened to Dennis in Seattle was similar (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#harlow), and one of his employees died in the assault (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death).

Gary took it to trial, but the jury was stacked with firemen’s relatives, and Gary then knew that his goose was cooked. Gary kept on fighting and ran for sheriff, and Ventura County quickly passed a law that made Gary too old to run (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1408&viewfull=1#post1408). Of course, Gary survived at least one murder attempt (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#hit). I was childhood friends with the son of that food inspector who was sicced on Gary (and keep in touch with him to this day, but never brought up his father’s involvement in Gary’s adventures :) ), and lived in the same neighborhood with one of the framers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1407&viewfull=1#post1407), and went to school with his children, who were always dressed fashionably.

When Gary was finally defeated, he sold his store and moved away, but they used a “cutout” to buy his store, who declared bankruptcy when the sale was in escrow, and the gangster judges literally stole Gary’s store from him. Gary died, destitute, in Oregon, with an arrest warrant issued for his wife, whose name the store was in, as she refused to hand over the deed to their store.

Similarly, Rodney Stich (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1418&viewfull=1#post1418) took on the incredible corruption in the airline industry (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1427&viewfull=1#post1427), as plane crash after plane crash was covered up. Rodney (whom I once corresponded with) naively boasted on a radio show that he would be fine in his efforts, as long as he stayed a multimillionaire from his real estate dealings over the years. Not long afterward, a CIA front organization filed a phony lawsuit, which was the beginning of the end for Rodney. The Kangaroo Court that I lived through, as Gary did, paled beside what Rodney experienced (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1440&viewfull=1#post1440). My day on the witness stand in Kangaroo Court (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681) was the turning point of my life. With his money stripped away, Rodney was easily kangarooed into prison.

However, for all that we all went through, my biggest surprise was how those around me acted. They either fled like cowards, actively helped out the efforts to wipe us out (or decided that it was the ideal opportunity to steal the business (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=207&viewfull=1#post207))), or got on their knees and begged for mercy from the gangsters. Those who stood up to them in Ventura I can nearly count on one hand. When it got back to me that my own mother was campaigning against me (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492), it did not even hurt anymore.

So, we all woke up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) the hard way, and my life’s greatest lessons (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) were learned in Ventura, my home town. Even as I was driving to Ventura from Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page4?p=652&viewfull=1#post652), more than a year into my adventures with Dennis, (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601) you could not have convinced me what I would experience over the next few years.

All of that was infinitely more important for developing my awareness than all of the book-learning that I have ever done (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm). Digesting my big essay is trivial, compared to the lessons that being on the high road impart, if people can survive the experience.

What has been mildly surprising in the past year or so is that I have contacted several people who acquitted themselves honorably during my adventures. I was willing to have a conversation with them, to help them understand the magnitude of what they were involved with, and not one of them wanted to hear about it. Their horizon of awareness was that it was a business opportunity that didn’t work out, and traumatically so, and they all put it in their rearview mirrors, best forgotten about, and they truly did not want to hear any more about it.

And those were the vanishingly few who were actually the good guys of my adventures. So, how hard is it to find people willing to do the work to reach the understandings that my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) requires, which is extremely modest compared to that Indiana Jones stuff? They will be needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and those latest encounters were a reminder of that.

Hi:

Last night, I discovered that there is a new book that came out (https://www.amazon.com/Like-Cuttlefish-Spurting-Out-Ink/dp/1545667551/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me), with Ed and David Peterson’s writings. I am obliged to get it, and have ordered it. There is likely nothing new in it, but at 900 pages, Ed never published a book that large. We’ll see if I decide to update Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) for any of it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

To continue a little on a recent post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1873&viewfull=1#post1873), my orientation before I met Dennis was the inventor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), and the lessons came fast and furiously for me after meeting Dennis, immediately after the voice told me to move to Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), from the Seattle experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601) to the Boston experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=611&viewfull=1#post611), but the Ventura experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr) was far and away the most educational, like being in a war. When the dust finally settled in Ventura in 1990, I had long since been radicalized and my life’s greatest lessons had been learned (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and we had tried, witnessed, or heard about from fellow travelers nearly all of those failed paths to free energy that I summarized (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). My life’s learning curve was largely over by the time that I was 30 years old, and the rest has been the small stuff.

In 1990, I was introduced to the work of Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), read Ralph McGehee’s memoirs (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), and hit the books pretty good (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) during the next decade, which largely led to my site as it stands today. I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet) the next year, just as he was getting his feet wet in the free energy milieu, and the next year, Brian had his life shortened (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, when he began snooping into UFOs. I briefly rejoined Dennis in 1996 (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), and I walked away certain 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) did not have a prayer. It was in my Ohio years that a close pal got his exotic technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). When Brian published his first free energy book (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#miracle) in 1996, I was his biggest fan, and in 2001, we had our epic note-trading session (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sacramento), after Brian spent five years playing the Paul Revere of free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), and I met fellow travelers such as Mark (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), heard spine-chilling tales of Adam’s journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1587&viewfull=1#post1587), and similar events. I was introduced to Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) and the comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) lightbulb finally lit up for me in 2003. By the time that I quit NEM in 2004 (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), I was forever cured of the idea of mass movements to make free energy happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). It won’t work that way. I have been doing something different (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) ever since, but not many people yet understand.

Hi:

Today is the 18th anniversary of 9/11, and like the JFK issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), the 9/11 (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11) issue is not going to go away in my lifetime. A new report was just released (https://thefreethoughtproject.com/tower-7-office-fires-study-collapse/) on the collapse of WTC 7. Whether it was an inside job or miraculous “gift” to the neocons (as Noam said), who openly wished for an event like that (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century#Rebuilding_America's_Defenses_2), there is no doubt that Orwell’s permanent war (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell) was implemented, as the USA destroys nation after nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1757&viewfull=1#post1757), which “coincidentally” have all had strategic relevance in the USA’s nakedly imperial moves to control the world’s remaining hydrocarbon deposits and maintain global hegemony. It really isn’t any different from what Noam and Ed described long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection). The targets just rotate, although Russia has been a reliable demon (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia) for more than a century (https://monthlyreview.org/2017/07/01/fake-news-on-russia-and-other-official-enemies/).

Hi:

Nine years ago, I wrote this passage (http://ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#succinct):


“If I had to describe the human journey in one sentence, it would be something like: ‘Each epoch of humanity’s past was initiated and sustained by achieving the social organization and technological prowess that enabled the exploitation of previously unexploitable energy resources.’”


You can see that I began using “Epoch” back then, and that passage is still the gist of my message. You can read Maxine Berg’s The Age of Manufactures 1700-1820: Industry, Innovation, and Work in Britain (https://www.amazon.com/Age-Manufactures-1700-1820-Industry-Innovation/dp/0415069351), in which she summarizes the forces that propelled the Industrial Revolution’s pristine instance, and reviews the many scholarly debates on the subject, going back to the classical economists, to Marx, and to 20th century economists. As with nearly all other economic analyses, energy takes a back seat. The Industrial Revolution is the most dramatic change in the human journey, and a great deal of ink has been spilled by economists and others to explain it, but, IMO, all of those explanations suffer from not being grounded in the physical sciences.

Without tapping the new energy sources, the new Epochs would not have arrived. Without increasing available energy for such an energy hog, the human-line’s brain would not have grown how it did. The contending hypotheses are:


Hand-held tools, enabled by bipedal locomotion, enabled greater food availability;
Bipedal locomotion itself (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bipedskull), as it decreased the energy used for locomotion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bipedalhypothesis);
The control of fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1) allowed for easier digestion and more available calories for the eaters.


It is likely some of each, and bipedal locomotion came first, new tools next, and fire last.

As our brains grew, more behaviors became possible, and human cognition steadily increased with the human line’s growing brain. Current evolutionary theory states that an evolutionary innovation had to be immediately useful, or else it would not have evolved, and especially for something as energy-demanding as the human-line’s brain. Once a feature was developed for one purpose, it could be drafted for other purposes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dualuse). To me, that is one of the key lessons from today’s evolutionary theory. In The Evolution of Childhood, the authors attempt to explain “play,” as only some animals, and the smartest ones, in general, do it. It is thought to be a form of practice. It all has a reason, generally related to survival. There are competing hypotheses on the growing human-line brain and what it was immediately good for, and the one that seems to be in the lead today is that it enabled greater social flexibility and group behaviors. So, it may have been socially spurred, but without that increased energy, it would not have happened. Energy is the primary factor (the necessary condition, in academic parlance), and the others are secondary or tertiary.

When humans became behaviorally modern (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap), around 60,000 years ago or so, they had the toolset, cognitive abilities, and social organization to conquer Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit), and they quickly did, and drove all competing human species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#europeinvasion) and Earth’s easy meat (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) to extinction in the process.

After the easy meat was rendered extinct, the brief Golden Age of the Hunter Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer) was over, humans became territorial and violent again, and it stayed that way, except for a few places on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran) (called the “lucky latitudes” and other terms) where humans, women, most likely, began to domesticate plants, as the easy meat became extinct while Earth warmed in an interglacial interval (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceageeurope1).

Men and women were evolutionarily adapted to the sexual division of labor that was probably over a million years old, as men hunted and women gathered. Women gathered for a few reasons. One was that men were faster and stronger, so were better suited to the rigors of hunting (and its consequent warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare1)). So, men particularly have prowess with large muscle group activities, and the cliché of “throw like a girl” is as old as humanity. The superiority of boys today over girls in throwing is dramatic, and begins not long after they can walk. Women have developed the nimble fingers required for gathering, which have been put to so many new uses in the Third and Fourth Epochs (sewing, typing, etc.). Those are the outcomes of evolutionary realities, and Warriors and Worriers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1872&viewfull=1#post1872) explores them.

The energy that came from domestication was responsible for the Third Epoch. If not for that, humanity today would all resemble the societies that aboriginal Australians had when the British invaded (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tasmania). Without crops, there would have been no civilization. It was the primary determinant, and everything else was noise. It formed the Epoch’s foundation, just as the energy practices of the First and Second Epoch formed theirs.

The Fourth Epoch was no different. Each Epoch also saw energy dynamics at the tail-end that presaged the coming Epoch. For the Fourth Epoch, harnessing water power in mills (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill2) was seminal, as was the technical feat of turning the world’s ocean into a low-energy transportation lane (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2). Low-energy transportation made civilization possible, along with crops, and water and wind power were keys to the protoindustrial period before the power of coal was tapped (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#steamengine1) in an unprecedented fashion. The Fourth Epoch would not have happened without it. Professions rose and fell, workers and employers battled, people were “deskilled” to tend machines, and new skills developed, but the new sources of energy powered it all. The human animal, however, has changed very little since we became behaviorally modern. A child born 50,000 years ago could have been placed in English society of 1800 as an infant and done as well as the rest.

The Chinese had watermills and coal smelting, too, but they did not capitalize on it, while Europe rushed ahead and industrialized. Coal was more immediately useful for smelting (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke), as there was no substitute for it, in a deforested England (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#domesday), and wind and water power remained competitive with coal power until about 1850 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#waterpower).

When people were freed from farming, they populated the factories and mines of an Industrializing England. And, of course, it could be a brutal and involuntary process (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaltowns), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gamelaw)), but as machines replaced strong backs and nimble fingers, England’s standard of living rose, and the Fourth Epoch began. But as with the others, nobody really noticed the changes, as far as a change in Epochs (or energy regimes) went. The Industrial Revolution was more than a century old before anybody realized that it was a revolution. And for that reason, some argue that the Domestication and Industrial revolutions were not revolutions at all, as nobody was trying to overthrow an established order, like political revolutions do. That is partly a semantics game.

My upcoming essay update will cover these areas in a bit more depth than I have before, but the gist will be the same as I wrote back in 2010, to begin this post.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I got that book of Ed’s writings with David Peterson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1874&viewfull=1#post1874), and I am glad that I did. It is a very generous collection, weighing in at nearly 900 pages. The full text of their book on Rwanda (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda) is one of the chapters, as is their critique of Pinker’s book on violence (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker). I have read Ed’s work on all of the topics that the book covers, but not all of the essays in that book, so I’ll plunk through those that I have not read before, and reread some of them. We’ll see if I update Ed’s bio for any of it. I doubt it, as I already cover all of those subjects in Ed’s bio, but we’ll see.

Also, this gives me another opportunity to write about Ed’s critics (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms), and how they either are incapable of understanding or unwilling to understand what his work was about. The double standards that the American establishment uses in its foreign policy was a focus of Ed’s work from the beginning (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early). When he began collaborating with Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), the media’s role in promoting imperial propaganda was a key focus, their first uncensored books (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#second) made that issue explicitly clear, it reached its apotheosis in Manufacturing Consent (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), and that theme ran through Ed’s work for the rest of his life. In a late-life interview, he said that exposing the media’s double-standards was pretty much the entire point of his work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#contribution).

Ed and Noam were/are social scientists, and Ed took great pains to approach his work scientifically. So, Ed would state the null hypothesis, which was that the American mass media was a seeker of truth (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#truth), treating allies and enemies evenhandedly in its coverage, to help the American people make informed decisions, which is an American ideal and part of what the First Amendment is about. Then Ed would amass the available evidence, to see how the media actually functioned, versus its stated ideal. Ed’s work essentially falsified that assumption that the American media was a seeker of truth on behalf of the public, and showed how they were simply capitalist/imperial parrots.

Ed’s work was rarely involved with establishing the objective truth of any of the topics that he wrote about, but was more about how the media approached those topics. As a scientist should, Ed would look at the range of available evidence that the media had access to, how they used it, and what they reported. It was scientific testing of a hypothesis that the media uses as its reason for existence, and Ed showed how the media almost never lived up to its ideal, and how its performance was usually an Orwellian inversion of that ideal.

I’ll provide one late-life example of what Ed (and Peterson, when he helped) wrote about, how he approached the subject, and what his critics would do. They nearly invariably engaged in the same logical fallacies, and the primary one was a straw man argument (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#straw), claiming that Ed didn’t portray the objective reality accurately, when that was rarely something that Ed even aspired to do. This should not be hard to understand, but I almost never saw his critics get it, or if they did, they disparaged his focus and then tried to show how Ed did not understand the objective reality, which begged the question. That was either stupid or dishonest. Ed would generally be more charitable, and just note how his assailants were unable to jettison their ideological assumptions.

The example in question was how the American media portrayed the 2009 elections in Iran and Honduras. It was a classic instance of the election coverage in enemy and client regimes. Ed co-wrote a book on the subject back in the 1980s, and he invented the term to describe elections in client regimes: Demonstration Elections (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#demonstration). In a Demonstration Election, outright electoral fraud is treated as a paragon of fairness, the slaughter of opposing candidates is swept under the rug, and the entire exercise is a stage-play designed to convince the American people that the USA’s foreign intervention was well-received by the target nation, even when our intervention was genocidal, as it was in El Salvador in the 1980s (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#central) or Vietnam in the 1960s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early). When enemy regimes held elections, the media would try to find anything that it could to delegitimize the elections, and any rumor would do. That was the framework that Ed established in the 1960s, and the Iran and Honduras elections were merely a 21st century example of that phenomenon.

Ed had long written about what the USA did during the Cold War, as it overthrew governments with abandon while citing the Communist Conspiracy fantasy (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ideology), which is perhaps the most untenable conspiracy theory of all time, but was a sacrosanct tenet of the American establishment and media throughout the Cold War. The year after the USA overthrew the Iranian government on behalf of Western oil companies, it overthrew the Guatemalan government (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#guatemala1) when it tried to give peasants unused land that United Fruit owned. It was a relatively gentle prelude to the rash of overthrown Latin American governments in the 1960s and 1970s, and helped lead to the Cuban Revolution. Cubans have the highest standard of living in Latin America (and no homeless, which the USA could learn a lesson from), but you wouldn’t know it from digesting the American propaganda since the 1950s.

Under the Shah’s reign of terror, all left-leaning organizations were wiped out, and torture was used liberally in the Shah’s Iran, as usual for American client states (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#torture). So, the USA bears a huge burden of responsibility for the theocracy that took over Iran after its revolution. What the USA overthrew in 1953 was a republic with an elected leader. The Islamic church was the only non-government institution that survived the Shah’s reign, which helps explain why it is still a theocracy today. But the American media rarely acknowledged that fact.

So, in 2009, Iran held elections, while the American media portrayed the entire exercise as a sham. Ed produced several opinion polls that showed that the man who won the election seemed to be supported by the majority of voters. Ed’s point in producing those polls was that if the American media was going to assess the legitimacy of the Iranian elections, those opinion polls were valid evidence that should have been considered. Of course, the American media never did, which was Ed’s point. Meanwhile, the USA supported a military coup in Honduras in 2009, and the subsequent election was a standard Latin American Demonstration Election, in which the only names on the ballot supported the coup. That coup was partly Hillary Clinton’s handiwork, and was a prelude to her efforts to overthrow Libya’s government (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya) a couple of years later, as she burnished her foreign policy credentials in preparation for her run at the presidency.

So, Ed’s writings on the Iranian elections were explicitly made as another one of his famous paired examples, as he contrasted the media’s coverage of both elections. In each instance, a protestor was killed by the government, and Ed and Peterson showed how the killing of the Iranian protestor received more than a hundred times the coverage of the killing of the Honduran protestor. Ed cited that disparity (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#honduras) in the last essay published in his lifetime.

That was the point of Ed’s work, going back to the 1960s. His focus was always on the American propaganda system regarding its foreign policy, not who the good guys and bad guys were in the target nations. But in virtually every criticism that I ever saw of Ed’s work on those subjects, his critics either failed to understand that simple issue or willfully misrepresented his work as they assailed it. They usually made it seem that Ed was trying to establish the objective reality in our target nations, such as how Iran was not as democratic as Ed made the case for, when Ed didn’t make the case at all.

This guy in particular (https://louisproyect.org/2011/03/10/in-response-to-edward-s-herman-and-david-peterson/) misrepresented Ed and Peterson’s work on Iran and Honduras, and hosted a guest columnist (https://louisproyect.org/2010/02/22/an-iranian-socialist-replies-to-edward-s-herman-and-david-peterson/) who also misrepresented Ed and Peterson’s work, as he argued that Ed and Peterson didn’t understand the objective political reality in Iran, when that was never the point of their work, which was assessing how the American media handled the evidence. How hard can that be to understand?

Those kinds of straw man fallacies have been directed at Ed’s work since the beginning.

I wrote to Ed long ago that I would carry his bags a thousand miles, and I can make the case that I did, but Peterson carried them a million miles. He gets big heaven points for helping Ed as he did.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I began my Assange thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731) by noting how whistleblowers had been getting crucified for a long time, and that was a big reason why Snowden, Manning, and Wikileaks rose to prominence. When all of the official avenues are shut off, then we will see unofficial avenues get used. Now, the British are indefinitely incarcerating Assange (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-49689167), as he gets extradited to the USA and life in prison or worse, on entirely frivolous and fanciful charges. It is something that I know all too well (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), and it is only a more genteel version of what Nazi Germany did. The media has gotten out of parrot mode a little with the Assange case, as what he is being charged with is what journalists normally do, as they try to protect sources, etc. The days of investigative journalism are quickly coming to an end, and the media will become indistinguishable from what Goebbels did, and in fact, it is already largely that way today (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), but the last rogues such as Assange need to be made examples of.

The USA has always been a plutocracy, ever since its richest citizen became its first president (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#washington), who wrote the plan to steal a continent (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint), and it is fitting that our little buddy, the UK, is holding Assange for us. They have been carrying our imperial bags for a long time, pretty much since World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good) ended. Truly, not a lot has changed since the days of George Washington, as far as who really runs the show and what their motives are. In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), these are the people who rise to the top, and those are only the visible players. There are levels of the game (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) far above what we see on the public stage.

It can change, but enough of us have to do the work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

On a lighter note, when that famous UW physicist died (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Nelson) while hiking, the same week as a friend of the family did (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1860&viewfull=1#post1860) (the local paper finally covered his death (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/obituaries/uw-scientist-who-died-in-climbing-accident-remembered-for-love-of-outdoors-research-impact/)), I noticed that she was a month older than me. In recent weeks, I discovered that two actresses were born on the same day (1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Pfeiffer), 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_Plumb)) as that physicist was. I have outlived others born the same year as me (1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson), 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_(musician))), while others motor on (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna_(entertainer)), staying away from drugs and danger. Life is short, and I am trying to get all of the juice out of orange that I have been given. I am finished with taking stupid risks, as I become an old man, but even I was never tempted to do technical climbing. I heard way too many dead climber stories over the years, and I have work to do! :)

Hi:

I took my nephew hiking here (https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/maple-pass) yesterday, and the old man is feeling it this morning! :) Pulling my nephew away from the blueberry patches was a chore, but a fun chore. Stopping for blueberries is always a good stop.

This was one of those cool, wet summers that Seattle gets every several years, and was kind of a bust on the hiking front for me, partly because of the weather and partly because I nursed injuries, have been very busy, as usual, and my advancing years are taking their toll on this fat old man, but I still got some good ones in, and the season is far from over. Even my bust years are still good ones.

This winter, however, may be one of those dry ones, as “The Blob (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blob_(Pacific_Ocean))” has formed again (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/new-marine-heat-wave-resembles-killer-blob-that-devastated-sea-life-on-west-coast-noaa-says/). In these days of global warming, phenomena such as The Blob appear on the scene, and with increasing frequency. It looks like Category 5 hurricanes are becoming the new normal (https://floodresilience.net/blogs/hurricane-dorian-harbinger-of-the-new-normal).

Hi:

A little note on current events. The guy who wrote a great article (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/05/the-philip-cross-affair/) on Philip Cross (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621&viewfull=1#post1621) last year wrote one on Assange (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/09/the-worlds-most-important-political-prisoner/). Assange is the very definition of a political prisoner, but Amnesty International has had an odd stance regarding him (1 (https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/05/23/assa-m23.html), 2 (https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2019/06/uk-must-refuse-extradition-of-julian-assange-to-the-united-states/), 3 (https://www.globalresearch.ca/amnesty-international-hangs-julian-assange-dry-possibly-just-hang/5678612)), which is standard behavior for the so-called “human rights” organizations anymore, as they have become novel imperial tools (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#hrw). Human Rights Watch actually advocated (https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/04/16/she-accused-assange-rape-give-her-chance-justice) keeping the “rape” charges in play. That is about as naïve as it gets, at best, but even HRW understands that Assange’s prosecution is a threat to press freedom (https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/04/12/assange-prosecution-threatens-modern-journalism).

So, this past weekend, Arabian oil facilities were taken out by drones, and the stakes just went up around the world (http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-black-swan-is-drone.html). From the beginning of Brian’s ride as the Paul Revere of Free Energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere), he was dismayed by the reactions of denial and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), from the tops of the world’s leading scientific, political, and “progressive (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2)” organizations. When we traded notes, five years into his ride, Brian openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). But he kept on plugging, we soon founded NEM (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), but Mallove’s murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland) spurred Brian’s move to South America, and I didn’t blame him.

From his base in Ecuador, Brian still kept trying to make a dent, but he was shut out from just about everywhere, and near his life’s end, he lamented that in all of the “progressive” efforts that he knew of, which addressed the unsustainability and the damage that our energy production methods inflict on the world, even the possibility of free energy was completely off the table. And as I watch the Middle East heating up once again, it is surreal how the solution that already exists on the planet today (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) is dutifully ignored by all involved. That is probably the most amazing sight of my journey, as we do all of the GCs’ (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1167&viewfull=1#post1167) work for them, gratis.

It won’t take many for my little plan (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to make a dent, but this has been an exercise in patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :)

Hi:

This will be a little post on politics, current events, and why the usual approaches won’t work for bringing free energy to the world. I saw an article yesterday on Rand Paul and Iran, and he quoted Trump’s “geopolitical blunder (https://summit.news/2019/09/16/rand-paul-warns-trump-against-needless-escalation-of-war/)” observation regarding the invasion of Iraq. It wasn’t a blunder; it was the greatest crime of the 21st century so far (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). But as Noam and Ed noted long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#mistake), key Nazis called the Jewish Holocaust (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward) a “mistake,” and the American invasion of Southeast Asia was similarly characterized as a mistake (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#noble). The greatest evils of the past century are called “mistakes,” not crimes, at least by those who commit them.

Assange’s goose is likely cooked, and while the Guardian is a very mixed bag (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#yugoslavia1) in general, at least they wrote that Assange was exposing American crimes (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/apr/12/julian-assange-extradition-wikileaks-america-crimes), and that is why he is behind bars today. As I have written, Wikileaks would have likely not existed if the USA did not crucify whistleblowers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731) instead of protect them, which American law requires (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1762&viewfull=1#post1762).

One of the best journalists working today is Caitlin Johnstone (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/), and it is no accident that she is not on anybody’s payroll. What made Noam and Ed so formidable is that they did not write for a living, but did it in their “spare” time and did not have to face the compromises that employee journalists make daily, the often-unconscious adoption of their employer’s perspective, etc. On American TV, the closest that we had to political truth in recent years was on The Daily Show under Jon Stewart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Show#Jon_Stewart's_tenure_(1999%E2%80%932015)), which was a comedy. Arguably the best mainstream journalist in the USA today writes for Rolling Stone (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#taibbi), a music magazine. This is how our world works. The professional political writers are all tools of the Empire, to one degree or another.

But I want to discuss one of Johnstone’s latest articles and how it epitomizes the failures of dissidence, attempts for positive change, and how the “left” and any political stripe is totally useless for helping bring free energy to the public (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Johnstone wrote an article titled “How to Defeat the Empire (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/09/10/how-to-defeat-the-empire/).” She wrote about how her work is about solutions, but her solution is to expose mainstream propaganda and thereby weaken the plutocracy and empire.

I agree that waking up from the sleep that the system lulls us into is a requirement for positive change (it ranks number two (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) on my list (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69)), but that can only be a start. For me, all that Noam and Ed’s work, for instance, can do, is help wake us up, or, as Noam said, provide “intellectual self-defense.” But the greatest weakness of the Left (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness) and its “anti-empire” orientation is that it is victim-oriented, seeing the elites as the bad guys who need to be taken down. There are levels of the elite game (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) that they can’t even imagine, and even refuse to (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion). I have yet to see any “political solution” that was anything more than reshuffling the deck of scarcity, getting more chips for “their” side, even if “their” side was the world’s downtrodden. Bucky wrote on how futile such an approach was (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics). The left, right, and mainstream are united in their scarcity-based victim’s perspective. A creator’s perspective is needed, and that is based on love, not fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). That will be the only path to abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) and a healed humanity and planet.

As Brian O said, combined positive intention (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) was the only approach worth pursuing, not tackling the “bad guys.” Making the elite obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) is going to be the only lasting solution, it will only happen by the arrival of a new Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and only free energy can make that happen. Attack and coercion is for delusional Young Warriors (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors), who aren’t going to accomplish anything of significance. Love is the answer (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest) and always has been, but that is the rarest commodity on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and why my task is like trying to find needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). Those overgrown Boy and Girl Scouts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) are very few and far between, but those are the people who are going to make a dent, if I can find them and we can aim for the root instead of hack at branches. There does not need to be any attack, any war, or any “rebellion,” and that idea is unimaginable to today’s activists. I played the mass movement game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) several times, before I was finally finished with it. It does not aim nearly high enough.

Best,

Hi:

I am crazy busy right now. I took my nephew hiking last weekend (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1880&viewfull=1#post1880), my niece hiking on Wednesday, and am going hiking today, pics coming soon, if all goes well. I am also plunking along on my essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), and will post something before long.

I want to make a brief post on a subject that I’ll write more about on my site one day. During my studies long ago, I thought that cancer was an energy issue, but I was not sure quite how. It has become clearer in recent years for me.

When I updated my fluoride essay, I wrote about free radicals, aging, and programmed cell death (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory). I’ll write more in my essay update about it. Aerobic respiration (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aerobic) is high-octane stuff, powered in complex life by mitochondria (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page2?p=1862&viewfull=1#post1862). Nearly a century ago, Otto Warburg hypothesized (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warburg_hypothesis) that cancer was caused by mitochondria’s shutting down from a lack of oxygen to a cell’s switching to fermentation, which is vastly inferior as an energy generation process. When fermentation is chosen over aerobic respiration, those cells won’t die through apoptosis, as normal cells do that are damaged enough. Warburg’s hypothesis has been getting increasing vindication (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4493566/) recently, after being dismissed for many years.

So, fermentation and cancer…. Where have I heard that before? Naessens (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens)! And this goes all the way back to Béchamp (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm). If Warburg’s hypothesis becomes the dominant one, I wonder if Naessens and Béchamp will receive their due. Unlikely (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#steal), but as with the booklet that saved my father’s life (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), which was banned (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#banned), but whose findings are now orthodoxy’s first line of defense for heart disease (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#mayo), it has been something to see orthodoxy embrace what it previously assailed. Strange times.

Hi:

Yesterday I did one of my favorite hikes, which I have been doing nearly annually in the past several years (1 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=886277&viewfull=1#post886277), 2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=987295&viewfull=1#post987295), 3 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1099991&viewfull=1#post1099991)). I first saw that lake view in 1986, during my life’s best hiking year (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=605&viewfull=1#post605). That year, the lake view was just the beginning of that trip, which saw us scramble over mountains to high lakes and mountain goats. Now, the view is my destination, and I’ll do it as long as I am able. I am in pretty decent late-season shape, for a fat old man, so yesterday was pure joy, all the way.

I invited several hiking buds, but none could make it. On the way to the trailhead, I had to brake for wild turkeys crossing the road. It was a perfect hiking day, blissful, as I hiked through the forest, to break out to meadows and lakes. A few hundred yards before that lake view, the trail intersects with the Pacific Crest Trail (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Crest_Trail) (“PCT”). The movie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_(2014_film)) from several years ago made it far more popular, and I encountered about a dozen thru-hikers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Crest_Trail#Thru_hiking) in just those few hundred yards. I often chit-chat with them, but most of them are moving fast, so it is usually only a word of two of encouragement. But yesterday, a man and woman (he is from Ohio, and she is from Sweden) were looking to get out of the mountains for a civilization break, and I hiked them down to my car and deposited them in a town on my way home. That none of my buds were with me allowed me to fill up my car with thru-hikers.

As I tend to do in my old age, after a little probing, I did a Wade’s World talk with them, and they loved it. The nature-lover ratio is pretty high on the PCT. The Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) might not be that far off. :)

Hi:

Oh my, is Wikipedia ever becoming a disinformation mill, even leaving aside my own experiences with them (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikimass.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm)). Christopher Black was one of Ed’s most important co-authors (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#arbour), whose work guided Ed in his Rwanda writings (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda). I discovered this past weekend that Chris’s Wikipedia bio has been erased. They couldn’t erase him everywhere (https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Christopher_Black). When he had a bio, it was not as defamatory as Ed’s was, so I guess it had to go.

I have long known that the White Helmets were a propaganda operation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page16?p=1746&viewfull=1#post1746) mounted by the USA and UK, and I regularly read exposures of them and how the media plays them up as credible and impartial good Samaritans, such as here (https://off-guardian.org/2019/09/22/white-helmets-black-lies/). And, of course, Wikipedia defends the White Helmets to the hilt. Jimmy Wales is an objectivist neocon, which helps explain Wikipedia’s heavy biases, as it becomes a caricature of an encyclopedia. For coverage of the dinosaur extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction) and other topics of no political-economic relevance, Wikipedia can serve as a good index of the existing information and state of the debate, but for anything of modern political-economic relevance, Wikipedia is increasingly execrable.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I contacted Chris on his erasure at Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1885&viewfull=1#post1885), and it was the first that he had heard of it. He agreed that before it was erased, it was not defamatory and even pretty good, which is probably why it had to go. I have seen deletion debates go on for some time in the past, but this one happened fast. I found where Deletionpedia saved it (http://deletionpedia.org/en/Christopher_Black). It was proposed for deletion in June.

Around 15 years ago, Dennis briefly had a Wikipedia article, and it was libelous and was soon deleted. Brian had erasure events (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#erased) regarding his employment at NASA and Cal Tech, getting his NASA bio published was an adventure (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=284&viewfull=1#post284), and then a famous space debunker started in (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/91-Scientific-literacy/page3?p=556&viewfull=1#post556). Deleting an astronaut’s bio would be a stretch, even for Wikipedia, but that rude admin hacked Brian’s bio down to a stub (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brian_O%27Leary&diff=850269000&oldid=847108308).

So, Chris’s erasure at Wikipedia is just a day at the office in the Empire.

Because it disappeared off of the Internet, I have decided to publish Betsy’s disbarment agreement (http://ahealedplanet.net/betsy.pdf). Betsy was actually the best of those sicced on Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy), whose conscience finally awoke, when her nose was rubbed in her crimes (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#boyfriend). The many others did not even have glimmers of conscience, as they performed their hitman duties, 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), Mr. Deputy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), Mr. Investigator (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care), Ms. Pinch Hitter (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#pinch), etc.

The grim reality is that those hit men and women are the norm (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), not the exception. The exceptional people are Chris, Ed, Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#wean), Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), Rodney (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1427&viewfull=1#post1427), Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), etc. They are in my pantheon, which is not a very big one.

Hi:

I was about one programming course short from going the computer consulting route out of college, and likely could have gotten a job at Microsoft in 1986, but that voice had other plans for me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), and by 1988 my life was shattered and I was radicalized. My moment of awakening was on the witness stand in Kangaroo Court, as the prosecution made faces at me as I testified (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681).

The next year, I first heard of Noam Chomsky, and the year after that, I began my alternative media education (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big). I was so ready for Noam’s and Ed’s work, and eagerly learned at their scholarly feet. I began corresponding with Noam in 1992 and Ed in 2001 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1599&viewfull=1#post1599), not long after I contacted Howard Zinn (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1636&viewfull=1#post1636). Those great men were among my most gracious correspondents, and I eventually became Ed’s first biographer (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm). I doubt that I will be his last biographer, and hope to live to see a professional biographer take on Ed’s life. Books have been dedicated to Ed’s memory already.

Wikipedia was founded in 2001, at the tail-end of the first dot.com craze. I worked at three different Internet companies between 1999 and 2013, and wrote my first website in 1996. I used the Encarta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encarta) encyclopedia for the 2002 version of my website, which was likely the last encyclopedia that I will ever buy. While writing this, I looked to see if Encyclopedia Britannica was still in business, and it was, and its article on Noam (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Noam-Chomsky) was written by one of his biographers (https://www.amazon.com/Chomsky-Language-Politics-James-McGilvray/dp/074561888X), which is a vast improvement over Wikipedia’s article.

But there is no biography on Ed at Britannica. Ed was the consummate collaborator. While Noam was obviously the most famous of Ed’s collaborators, Ed’s very first political book was co-written with Richard B. Du Boff (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early), who remained Ed’s staunch ally until the end of Ed’s life and beyond. Most of Ed’s books (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#publications) were collaborative efforts, and his colleagues all loved him. When he was editor of Lies of Our Times (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#loot) (“LOOT”), his previous co-authors were regular contributors (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#coauthors), and I am sure that Ed was the reason why they wrote for LOOT.

In 2000, Ed began writing on the West’s dismantling of Yugoslavia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#yugoslavia), and a new coauthor was Christopher Black. Chris was a different type of coauthor, as he was a human rights attorney, not an academic, and he defended American targets in its kangaroo court tribunals in Yugoslavia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#hrw) and Rwanda (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ictr). The term “heroic attorney” may seem an oxymoron, but Chris is one, taking on the Empire on its turf. For an attorney, it does not get much more courageous than that. The last email that I ever received from Ed looped me into his circle of collaborators, including Chris, and Chris and I began a correspondence after Ed’s death.

Wikipedia and I go back a ways. In 2008, I was shocked by its racist bias, and a pal and I tried to correct the record at Wikipedia, to only see all of our contributions removed in mere days (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikimass.htm), as the jingoists prevailed. I became Ed’s first biographer when I wished him a happy birthday in 2017 and offered to improve his libelous Wikipedia bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751), and he took me up on it. He died before he got to see my efforts. The year after his death, I finally completed my first draft of his bio and spent about 100 hours writing the improvements to his Wikipedia bio and related articles. To this day, the most active contributor to Ed’s Wikipedia bio is a likely intelligence 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 is currently its “benevolent dictator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales#Role).”

So, I was expecting to catch flak when I finally published my edits to Ed’s bio, but the intelligence asset and friends did not even have to emerge from their lairs before a rude admin erased all of my contributions (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1368&viewfull=1#post1368) (so that the public could not even see what I wrote), not only about Ed, but he also erased my contributions to my astronaut colleague’s Wikipedia biography (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro), while literally swearing (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brian_O%27Leary&diff=850269000&oldid=847108308) and making insults, threats, and unfounded allegations. It was about as unprofessional as I have ever encountered on the Internet. When one of my pupils challenged my treatment at Wikipedia, they banned him from Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1758&viewfull=1#post1758). He nevertheless persisted, obtained some famous help, and Wikipedia finally had to admit that they had no legal standing to erase my work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1550&viewfull=1#post1550) like they did. My changes are no longer erased, but they are reverted and will likely never appear in those articles that I edited, and I’ll never contribute to Wikipedia again. I learned my lesson. Wikipedia is an imperial mouthpiece, and Wikispooks summarizes Wikipedia’s intractable biases well (https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikispooks:About). The reasons that Wikispooks gives for Wikipedia’s biases actually conform very closely to Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), so, in a way, it is fitting that Ed’s Wikipedia bio is libelous today.

I recently discovered that Chris’s biography at Wikipedia was erased (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1885&viewfull=1#post1885), and I may write more about it soon. Wikispooks already had a bio of Chris (https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Christopher_Black), as it also does of Ed (https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Edward_S._Herman). I might put making my Wikipedia edits (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1375&viewfull=1#post1375) at Wikispooks on my list of things to do.

Best,

Hi:

I recently wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1887&viewfull=1#post1887) about Wikipedia’s erasure of Christopher Black’s bio. Chris’s erasure roughly coincided with the publication of The Hague Tribunal, Srebrenica, and the Miscarriage of Justice (https://www.amazon.com/Hague-Tribunal-Srebrenica-Miscarriage-Justice/dp/0970919875), which he wrote a chapter of.

In Ed’s bio, one chapter was devoted to the breakup of Yugoslavia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#yugoslavia), and a key focus of Ed’s work on Yugoslavia was the tribunal that was established (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#icty), which dispensed with elementary judicial processes in favor of show trials. Chris was Ed’s coauthor (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#arbour) at the beginning of Ed’s writings on the subject.

The arrest and trial of Milosevic was one of the tribunal’s more egregious acts (which helped wake me up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project?p=1101&viewfull=1#post1101) to what shams the prominent human rights organizations are (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#hrw)), and, as usual, Ed’s primary focus was on how the American media, and the New York Times in particular, handled Milosevic’s trial. And, as usual, Ed and David Peterson clearly showed how poorly the media performed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#simons). Stalinist-style show trials get depicted as paragons of judicial rectitude in the American media, when the Empire goes after its official demons (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#demonize).

In Chris’s chapter of The Hague Tribunal, he wrote about the tribunal’s roots (the very idea of the tribunal seems to have been hatched within the USA’s military), and Chris went into detail on how baldly the tribunal dispensed with judicial protocols (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#protocols) that nearly every other court on Earth followed. The tribunals in Yugoslavia and Rwanda (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ictr) were the very definition of kangaroo courts, and both courts even used the same personnel. Ed wrote at length on what a travesty those tribunals were, and how they usually dispensed the opposite of justice (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#belied).

Milosevic died in the tribunal’s custody (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death1), and Chris made the case that Milosevic’s death was due to intentional medical negligence at best and murder at worst. Milosevic was vigorously defending himself, and the tribunal’s case was as flimsy as all of its other cases. Chris laid Milosevic’s death at the tribunal’s feet and further suggested that Milosevic might have been right, when he wrote a few days before his death that he was being poisoned, and Chris noted chemicals in Milosevic’s body that still cannot be accounted for, which might well have been part of a poisoning effort. In any case, Milosevic’s death was a convenient event for the tribunal.

Chris wrote about how the tribunal denied him the ability to defend one of its targets because Chris was “hostile” to the court (for another one of its many novel rulings, to be found almost no place else on Earth). However, Chris won an acquittal for one of the Rwanda tribunal’s high-profile targets (https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Christopher_Black), and Chris wrote about how the prosecution’s witnesses were fabricated, actors reciting rehearsed scripts, whose “testimonies” quickly fell apart during his cross-examinations.

The Hague Tribunal was primarily concerned with the “genocide” at Srebrenica, which Ed also wrote extensively on (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#srebrenica). The massacre of several hundred men during a brutal civil war was inflated into a “genocide” in the Western propaganda system, and The Hague Tribunal was one more demonstration of just how untenable the tribunal’s case was.

Chris’s chapter of The Hague Tribunal ended with:


“The Tribunal has proven to be just what we expected it to be, a kangaroo court, using fascist methods of justice that engaged in selective prosecution in order to advance the NATO agenda of conquest of the Balkans as a necessary prelude to aggression against Russia. NATO uses the Tribunal as a propaganda weapon to broadcast a false history of the events in Yugoslavia, to cover up its own crimes, to keep the former republics of Yugoslavia under its thumb, and to justify NATO aggression and its occupation of former Yugoslav territory. It is a stain on the face of civilization: the open contempt for justice.”


As Ed wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#kibeho), a few months before the massacre at Srebrenica, a genuine slaughter of several thousand helpless men, women, and children did occur, during what was arguably a genocide. That event was part of the greatest slaughter of the past generation (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#congo) (only rivaled by the USA’s genocidal activities (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading)) but that was carried out under the authority of one of the West’s anointed heroes (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#kagame), so no consumer of the English-speaking mass media, with the partial exception of Australians, because Australian UN workers witnessed the slaughter, has ever heard of that event.

So, just when a new book comes out on the fraudulence of the Yugoslavian tribunal, which Chris wrote a chapter of, his biography gets erased from Wikipedia, although Chris is repeatedly mentioned (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustin_Ndindiliyimana) in that high-profile case in the Rwandan tribunal, for instance. What an amazing coincidence his erasure was. I may write more about Chris’s erasure.

been reading a few books


The trouble with AID by Jonathan Glennie
The measure of civilization by Ian Morris
Poverty and Famines by Amartya Sen


The trouble with AID by Jonathan Glennie, lists the problems with "AID" to Africa. The book is a bit confusing to me, it seems to call for more to be done, and have less conditions for the money. Only skimmed the book.

The measure of civilization by Ian Morris. Morris has an index that consists of energy capture per capita, organization, information technology, and war-making capacity. This could be thought of as trying to create an index for energy and consciousness.A dry boring book, but still valuable for the introduction of how to understand societies and their development.


Poverty and Famines by Amartya Sen
Maybe you should read this book Wade? Sen won the Nobel for his work on Poverty and Famines. He is no Chomsky, but his understated writing is devastating enough. And provides material to Chomsky in his critique Counting the Bodies - Noam Chomsky (http://www.spectrezine.org/global/chomsky.html)
Will report back when I finish carefully reading it again. Sen is no Ian Morris or even Peter Ward or Richard Wrangham all of whom I see as being much more biased.

[Krishna]

More Sen

"Famines have actually not occurred in functioning democracies"
https://philebersole.wordpress.com/2015/06/02/amartya-sen-on-democracy-and-famine/
(ouch the third party Phil also links to Rummel)

And that is indictment enough of the British.

Wade, I noticed that last time you linked to that oh-so-reliable-source-of-information. Do you have actual direct concerns about Sen that he wrote? His Harvard links are fair criticism, I find censoring myself constantly depending on the forum, otherwise your audience reduces dramatically. Its a trade off, one that Sen is aware of I am sure. I rarely hear Dreze talk about British empire either.

And speaking of people I respect, Richard Stallman has taken a big fall in the public eye.

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1316258&viewfull=1#post1316258):

I am crazy busy, and have been planning on a post when I have the time, on energy, cognition, and the human Epochs. It will be a little preview of what I will write about in my essay update. In Morris’s “boring” book, he has the right idea, that energy is the backbone of the Epochs, and the other factors (social organization, information storage, and war-making capacity) were just ways of using energy.

Human cognition has changed very little since we became behaviorally modern (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap). The impact of information storage and communication allowed humans to ratchet up their societies, going back to before there were Homo sapiens, but the human brain has changed very little since the arrival of our species on the evolutionary scene. Changes in societies rode on technological advances that allowed for increasing energy capture. The major changes in the human journey happened, however, after the new energy source was tapped. That is a very likely scenario for the First Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1), the Second Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2) was made possible by the toolset and talents of behaviorally modern humans (language mastery is still thought to be the factor that led to human dominance, although there is plenty of controversy), although I would say that the Second Epoch was more about that toolset and talent applied to diverse environments, as they plundered “virgin” environments. Human societies (the hunter-gatherer band) really didn’t change a whole lot during the Second Epoch; they just proliferated until they conquered the entire planet. I was just reading a few minutes ago on how humans might have become semi-sedentary over 100K years ago at the southern end of Africa, and they were close to, if not actually, behaviorally modern.

But for the Third (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) and Fourth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) Epochs, there is no doubt that each was propelled, and dramatically, by tapping those new energy sources, which were orders of magnitude greater than what came before. That was the big one, and all other changes were derivative of that, the small stuff, really.

On Sen, we’ll see. I have spent too many years studying warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm), genocides (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), human misery, the grinding effects of poverty, and what Europe did to the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), once it had the energetic upper-hand (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2). I know the drill, and it is clear in my work. Free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) ends all that. Nothing else can. That is what my work is really about.

Wade

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1316277&viewfull=1#post1316277):

On Stallman, not a big surprise, given female-oriented comments from him that you have written about. I never heard of anything like that about Noam, Ed, or Howard, who all married young and stayed married until death, and all happily, so it seemed.

On Sen, I did not buy this (https://academic.oup.com/cje/article-abstract/1/1/33/1734948?redirectedFrom=fulltext), but we have covered this ground before. I was surprised at not seeing European hegemony even mentioned as contributing to the misery in those poor nations in Hunger and Public Action. You explained that they were not really addressing the West, but those poor nations. OK, but it made me a little wary.

Funny that Drèze moved to India and Sen to the USA. Harvard is the seat of the liberal-imperial establishment in the USA, only rivaled by Stanford, and “interesting” that Pinker, Morris, and Sen all ended up there (and Wrangham, while we are at it). And then to see how Sen has played down the West’s impact on poor nations while teaching at Harvard puts my radar up, let’s say. But again, none of them are Americans like Noam, so I can see that none of them were going to bite the hand that fed them, that attracted them. Sen is not Dinesh D’Souza, but not Noam, Ed, and Howard, either. I really try to focus on the work and not the people so much, even though I am a biographer to the great. Reshuffling the deck of scarcity to feed more of the hungry is just not my game. I get that people want to do that, and it can be good work, but none of that is going to help the Fifth Epoch manifest. Exchange is just not very interesting to me, and will not be an issue in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange).

I learn what I can from whom I can, and then keep going. Helping manifest the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is my game, and the rest is noise.

Hi:

Briefly, in our neo-Orwellian times (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell), a spook helping take out the sitting president is a “whistleblower” in the media’s parlance. That is a Big Lie (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/msm-defends-cias-whistleblower-ignores-actual-whistleblowers-5fbe577d988d). Real whistleblowers get taken out (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1879&viewfull=1#post1879). This is the kind of doublespeak that Ed wrote about from the beginning of his political writing career (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#orwell). The media never even misses a beat, as it castigates and character assassinates real whistleblowers while promoting fake ones. Surreal times.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I have written plenty on how I was steeped in capitalist ideology in college (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), to gradually begin waking up to the Big Lies after graduation (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing), to eventually realize that my profession was worthless (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting), with a fatal conflict of interest that still exists.

So, I was indoctrinated into economic theory from the beginning of my business studies, and I drank the Kool-Aid. But, as I got into the real world, those theories gradually began to crumble for me. Some became blatantly obvious, such as the fact that there have never been free markets, going back to the beginnings of civilization. I learned that the hard way during my first stint with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting). Free markets are the cornerstone of capitalist ideology, but free markets are as plentiful as unicorns.

It was not until 2003, when I was introduced to Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) and the Peak Oilers (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm), that other fatal flaws in economic theory began to become clear to me, and particularly how economic theory ignores the real world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists1). Energy is just another commodity whose price and availability is dictated by the free market, in the eyes of neoclassical economists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#neoclassical). What a deeply delusional perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#scientists), but it is the dominant one among economists.

When economists venture into the real world, their worship of capitalist principles can become glaringly obvious. I saw this article (https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/climate/the-first-clean-air-act-was-535ad/) the other day, and it typifies not only the scientific illiteracy of most economists, but how they can be counted on to defend capitalism, with their heads in the sand as Earth literally melts down. The basics of Global Warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797), and the human contribution to it, are easy to understand. I just saw this article (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/glacier-mont-blanc-planpincieux-officials-order-emergency-protection-measures-as-massive-glacier-raises-alarm/) this morning, and you could read one almost every day, about how rapidly the ice is melting globally. The rapidly melting ice is indifferent to today’s debates. Earth’s coral reefs are quickly dying (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_issues_with_coral_reefs), but don’t ask an economist about it.

It is easy to find economists like the one that wrote the article above to deny that humans have anything to with climate change, how banning DDT is bad for people living where malaria exists (https://cei.org/studies-point/when-politics-kills-malaria-and-ddt-story) (2 (https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2000/12/14/a-useful-poison)), and other stances that “coincidentally” end up supporting hydrocarbon and chemical companies and other corporate sponsors. Western economists, with very few exceptions, are simply intellectual warriors for capitalism. They are the same kinds of “intellectuals” who have attacked Noam and Ed for generations (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms). Those situations only reinforce my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708).

Their biases can be glaringly obvious, once you develop an eye for them. Anybody interested in ending all of that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5)? :)

Best,

Wade

[Melinda]

Anybody interested in ending all of that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5)? :)

Yes indeed. The current paradigm has little left to offer.

It put me in the mood for a montage.

Welcome to the fifth epoch... (or at least... a sketched version of it.)

An advanced world founded on kindness, compassion, generosity of spirit. A deep respect for the natural world and its vast community of forests and rivers, caverns and mountains. Where we live in increased harmony with creatures of the land and air. Guardians of the oceans. Spirits of the nature realms.

A place where we create with intent rooted purely in the heart, connecting through a vast range of frequencies and layers of the multiverse. Travelling at the speed of thought, in and through alternate dimensions. Learning, growing, nourished by supporting one another.

I had this vision as I was painting in the software... of people journeying in light trails, and being able to view entire cities that had existed for eons, but remained invisible until we opened our eyes to realise they share the space around us. Crystal beings, and relations. Emissaries from close and distant stars. Exploring minds and civilisations, previously hidden in the clouds.

Experiencing the ancestral link of family and the wisdom of new and stranger souls.

Feeling love for the sky and for the earth.

Embracing the call, and coaxing the seeds, of our most inspired destiny.

I like these ideas. I prefer choosing them.

Apologies for rambling, like some vagabond, glowing in a forgotten corner of a folk music festival.

I should probably be in bed by now.

Hi:

Hey (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1316559&viewfull=1#post1316559), I know that lake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moraine_Lake)! :)

I don’t have much traveling left on my life list, but visiting Banff is up there somewhere.

Melinda’s art, poetry, and insights are always welcome here.

Perhaps a little synchronously, yesterday I was joining a forum to make a post (https://afterlife-knowledge.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1510785422/15#27) about one of my mystical influences. Below is the post, with the links intact.

Best,

Wade


Hi:

I recently discovered that Bruce passed on. I never met with Bruce, nor did I interact with him, but his work has long been familiar to me. I have built my mystical library since the 1970s, and Bruce’s books have a place of prominence in them. I have written about his work for many years, such as here (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#moen).

Bruce used to have his chapter on Max’s Hell on his site (https://www.afterlife-knowledge.com/hvnhl.html), but removed it for reasons unknown. On the Internet, it only survived in Danish (http://efterlivet.dk/moen/maxhell.html), and I send readers there, with a link to Google’s translation tool (http://ahealedplanet.net/links.htm#moen). I offer my help to have it live again on his site.

I bought his meditation/exploration CDs long ago. I write in appreciation for the work that Bruce did. He approached the issues like a scientist, and for nearly the past 50 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva), I have found that to be a winning style. It also appealed to Pamela Heath and Jon Klimo, who featured Bruce in their Handbook to the Afterlife (https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Afterlife-Pamela-Rae-Heath/dp/1556438699).

One of Bruce’s observations that stuck with me was his statement that while love was the very atmosphere of the afterlife, expressing it in physical reality was primarily concerned with taking care of people’s physical needs. More than anything else, that has been my life’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#summary), as I chase the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

I salute Bruce’s effort while on Earth, and I am sure that he is doing fine in the afterlife.

Best wishes,

Wade Frazier

Hi:

Odds and ends…

My offer to help recover Bruce’s chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1892&viewfull=1#post1892) on a “hell” that he visited led to its being restored (https://www.afterlife-knowledge.com/maxhell.html), after ten years of being down. They did not even know that it was down. For me, that was the most memorable chapter of his work (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#moen).

In a sign of the times, Clint Eastwood is coming out with a movie about how an innocent man, who should have been treated like a hero, was destroyed by a government/media alliance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jewell). By “coincidence,” I was looking up the LA Times’s articles on Dennis. I have already written about perhaps its first one on us (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=685&viewfull=1#post685). I also wrote about the libelous article (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707) that came out after the judge took Dennis’s attorney hostage (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hostage), to force Dennis to capitulate, which is standard practice in our kangaroo court system (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1440&viewfull=1#post1440). However, the most egregious was an “investigative” article that came out around February 1989, the same month that I sacrificed my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage) to give Dennis a snowball’s chance, which I lent to Dennis’s wife and never saw again, which was my final moment of awakening on the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=687&viewfull=1#post687), when I realized that they can simply make it up as they go. Noam’s and Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) was only icing on the cake.

After they rooked Dennis into their fraudulent plea bargain (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate), which was the beginning of an attempt to have him killed (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), the libelous articles continued, such as reporting that Dennis falsely claimed that his heat pump was UL approved (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=673&viewfull=1#post673). It was just one of many red herring charges that were made. More than a decade later, the LA Times was still lying about Dennis (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-feb-28-fi-31177-story.html), claiming that he was convicted of fraud in Ventura, and other Big Lies.

Ed wrote about how even after the media’s Big Lies have been exposed, the myths live on (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#myths). Ed wrote that the lies about his and Noam’s work on Cambodia had been “institutionalized (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#target).” Those kinds of Big Lies live forever in the media’s echo chamber.

In the article that reported the dismissal of his lawsuit over his civil rights violations (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-10-31-me-3405-story.html), if you ever read the rulings, which, at least the LA Times reported on, even if everything that the deputies and other officials did was criminal, they all got to hide behind prosecutorial immunity and statute of limitations, even though Dennis sued them while his trial was ongoing (as did his attorney, gratis, as he was so disgusted (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#gutter1)). That reflects some of the structural features of Kangaroo Court, in which the officials can commit crimes with impunity (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#raid) but get the shield of immunity, while they make up charges from the thin air, manufacture victims (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#victims), and they finally get you for failing to file a form (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate), which I have not seen the media honestly report on to this day.

The lies get institutionalized, most of the big media has reported on Dennis (1 (http://www.nbcnews.com/id/29899191/ns/dateline_nbc-the_hansen_files_with_chris_hansen/t/fast-money-car-device-sellers-scheme-unravels/#.XZdQGGZ7lHY), 2 (https://www.wired.com/1999/10/one-mans-power-game/), 3 (https://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2005/0606/152.html), 4 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/2000/01/12/perpetual-motion-still-going-around/287246ed-1425-487c-bc94-7354e360db77/), 5 (http://energyblog.commutefaster.com/2009/04/08/nbc-dateline-attempts-journalism/)), they all parrot the lies, and not one of them ever contacted me, not that I would participate in their charades.

I’ll write my final word for now on Chris Black’s erasure at Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1888&viewfull=1#post1888). At Deletionpedia (http://deletionpedia.org/en/Christopher_Black), they saved the link to the page where his deletion was discussed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Christopher_Black). It is a prime example of Wikipedia’s deficiencies. The man who led the deletion effort is from Toronto, like Chris, which is one of the “coincidences” of his erasure. That editor openly stated Wikipedia’s policy, that important and “notable” were different things, and that you could be the most important person on Earth, but if the media did not cover you enough, you would not be notable enough for Wikipedia. That is a great example of its structural bias, and why sites such as Wikispooks exist (https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikipedia/Problems#Notability). Some of the coverage on Chris was pretty spectacular, in that editor’s home town, even (1 (https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2014/02/16/canadian_lawyer_wins_legal_battle_over_rwanda_charges.html), 2 (https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2015/04/11/toronto-lawyer-claims-hes-target-of-death-threat-from-rwandan-government.html)), but it was not notable enough for that deleting editor.

Chris is infinitely more important than Ear (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophal_Ear) and Hoare (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marko_Attila_Hoare) are, whose chief claims to fame are libeling people such as Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751). But they meet the “notability” test, while Chris failed it. I do not plan to do battle at Wikipedia again, as it is a rigged venue, but maybe someday Chris will become “notable” enough for Wikipedia.

I followed the posting history of those editors who voted for erasing Chris’s bio, and what a motley crew that was. Of course, they are all anonymous cowards. In one way, I don’t want to take Wikipedia to task too much: it simply embodies a great deal of what is wrong with the Internet and the media in general. It is a lie factory, and Wikipedia is just following their lead. On issues of political-economic relevance, it is largely a garbage pile, simply echoing elite perspectives, just like the media does (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), just like its co-founder does, who hobnobs at Davos, where he met his wife, who was Tony Blair’s secretary. That kind of says it all.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I have written plenty that I read Scientific American each month, to keep up on trends. It is a mixed bag, but I keep reading. For instance, anybody who questions vaccination has a screw loose, in the pages of Scientific American. Here is a great summary (http://www.vaclib.org/docs/myths.htm) on the “success” of vaccination. Compulsory vaccination is nearly here in the USA (https://vaxxter.com/what-will-america-look-like-with-vaccine-mandates/).

In 2016, Scientific American came out with a collector’s edition on the human journey, titled, The Story of US (https://www.amazon.com/Scientific-American-Story-Magazine-Autumn/dp/B01LXC2OP9). This past month, they published it again (https://www.scientificamerican.com/magazine/special-editions/2019/special-editions-volume-28-issue-4s/), with a few new articles, but most of the issue had the same articles. We’ll see how long I keep letting them get my money that way.

That said, there was some stuff in the latest The Story of Us that was new to me. One article was on what made humans unique, and it was derivative of this book (https://www.amazon.com/Darwins-Unfinished-Symphony-Culture-Human/dp/0691151180). A brief summary is here (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mastering-your-reality/201711/professor-kevin-laland-what-made-us-who-we-are). That, and some other articles in the most recent The Story of Us, is sketching out current work on human evolution.

The gist of what is coming out these days is that while Africa is undoubtedly the cradle of humanity, going back to when apes evolved there (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proconsul), there was quite a bit of diversity in the human family, even until relatively recently, as shown by the recent discoveries of Homo naledi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_naledi), the hobbits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_floresiensis), and Denisovans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denisovan). Recent discoveries support arguments for the arrival of Homo sapiens on the evolutionary scene at 300K years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_evolution#Homo_sapiens), not the 200K that has been commonly accepted in recent years. That controversy will not end in my lifetime.

What seems increasingly clear is that the evolution of Homo sapiens was greatly influenced by the climate shocks that our current ice age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceageeurope1) inflicted on the world, and Africa was far from immune to them, even without any ice sheets. There seem to be two big events in the recent evolutionary journey of the line that resulted in Homo sapiens. The first happened between 2.9 and 2.4 million years ago, when the australopiths of Lucy’s species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#biped) went extinct, and two distinct lineages arose. One was represented by Homo habilis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#habilis), which is still debated as to its genus, but is increasingly considered to be the first member of our genus (Homo), and the other has been called Nutcracker Man (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OH_5), because of its prodigious jaws and teeth.

With the improving toolset and techniques, isotope testing and microwear investigations have shown that Nutcracker Man ate the grasses of the savannah (C4 plants (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#c4)), as they spread in a drying, ice age Earth. The Homo line, on the other hand, did not eat from the savanna, but had more of a diverse woodland diet, which contradicts the longstanding hypothesis that humanity evolved on the savannah. The Nutcracker Man line went extinct a little over a million years ago while the Homo line led to Homo erectus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus) around 2 million years ago. There is no doubt among anthropologists that Homo erectus is our ancestor.

Soon after Homo erectus appeared on the evolutionary scene, the first stone tools (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#acheulean) that could be called the work of craftsmanship appeared, and that styled lasted for more than one million years. Fire was mastered somewhere along the way (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), and the human line’s brain grew dramatically between australopiths and Homo sapiens, roughly tripling in size.

One of my favorite passages in the latest The Story of Us is in an article by that author of Darwin’s Unfinished Symphony (https://www.amazon.com/Darwins-Unfinished-Symphony-Culture-Human/dp/0691151180), on human uniqueness, who wrote:


“Cultural drive is not the only cause of primate brain evolution: diet and sociality are also important because fruit-eating primates and those living in large, complex groups possess large brains. It is difficult, however, to escape the conclusion that high intelligence and longer lives co-evolved in some primates because their cultural capabilities allowed them to exploit high-quality but difficult to access food resources, with the nutrients gleaned ‘paying’ for brain growth. Brains are energetically costly organs, and social learning is paramount to animals gathering the resources necessary to grow and maintain a large brain efficiently.”


So, there we have it, that the rise of humans was dependent on acquiring high-quality energy sources to fuel our growing brains, and the evolution of culture allowed this to happen, as the transmission of knowledge from social learning shortened everybody’s learning curve so that those societies could exploit those energy sources. That, in short, is the human journey. Those craftsmanship-style tools appeared soon after Homo erectus did, as it spread out of Africa and across Eurasia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#migrate1).

Those who ended up on the far side of Asia lived that way, with little evolutionary change, for more than a million years. But those who stayed in and around Africa kept on evolving as they grew bigger brains and further developed their toolset. Homo sapiens, Neanderthals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#neanderthalsplit), and Denisovans are all likely descended from Homo heidelbergensis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#heidelbergensis). Around 300K years ago, the domestication process that Wrangham recently wrote a book about (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1837&viewfull=1#post1837) began, and led to Homo sapiens.

Language was mastered along the way (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#language), and behaviorally modern humans appeared on the scene around 70-100K years ago or so, but evidence supports arguments that are trying to push it back to even earlier (and controversies on just what is evidence of behavioral modernity). We’ll see how that debate fares, but there is little doubt that around 70-50K years ago, when that founder group left Africa, it was behaviorally modern, and all human societies are descended from either that founder group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit) or those who stayed behind in Africa.

On that issue of human uniqueness, the consensus that is forming relates to the fidelity of the human transmission of knowledge. The human line was able to learn from each other better than any other animal, and that was critical to humanity’s rise, which our large brains obviously facilitated. Our tools largely made us, and learning via artifacts such as the written word (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing) is just another development in tool-making and shortening the learning curve. In this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), writing will likely become obsolete. Writing may well be a tool that made sense in the Third and Fourth Epochs, but will become obsolete in the Fifth, like elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) will.

Our biological equipment has not appreciably changed in more than 50,000 years, and Epochs two through four are just how behaviorally modern humans initiated and adapted to new energy regimes. Tapping the energy provided by megafauna (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), forests (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy), soils (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran), and fossil fuels (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#domesday) were cultural-economic developments, not evolutionary ones.

Through the Epochs, as the energy surplus increased, humans were able to use their innate talent for something other than daily sustenance, and human societies ratcheted up their toolsets and learning curves and became more humane. As Thomas Kuhn (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction) realized, Albert Einstein was likely not any smarter than the Greek philosophers; he just was able to think about issues that they did not have the opportunity to, as he was the beneficiary of that ratchet effect of social learning, new tools, and a new energy regime.

If and when the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) arrives, it will make all that went before it seem like child’s play. Humanity will become more humane than ever, poverty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), disease, and other banes of the human journey will vanish, and the world as we know it will end. That sounds good to me, but I also know that almost nobody on Earth will be able to even imagine the Fifth Epoch until it arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). The Industrial Revolution was more than a century old before anybody suspected that it was a revolution. Humanity will wake up far faster in the Fifth Epoch, to what the new energy regime will mean, for both humanity and Earth’s other denizens.

Time to begin my busy weekend.

Hi:

Here is one more conflict-of-interest scandal (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/04/well/eat/scientist-who-discredited-meat-guidelines-didnt-report-past-food-industry-ties.html) in medical “research (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=189&viewfull=1#post189).” Just like Stare and Whelan (http://ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#stare), or Hodge (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#harold), Ast, and company (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#conflict), or the Global Warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797) and smoking (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#milloy) “skeptics,” or Fishbein and company (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), etc. When you get down to it, Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) is really just a model of conflict of interest. All of the people sicced on Dennis over the years (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1886&viewfull=1#post1886) were awesomely corrupt, but Dennis was ultimately hurt more by his allies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#allies). Again, these are just examples of my life’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). Those are only the more blatant examples. Most of the corruption is subtler, as the Big Lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm) are swallowed by people, as believing them serves their immediate self-interest, but they abdicate their sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) in the process.

My treatment at Wikipedia over Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) is another example. I could provide dozens more examples from my work, such as George Washington’s strategy (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint), Columbus’s “heroism (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#first),” etc., etc. In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), this is what we get, as everybody tries to butter their bread at the expense of everybody else.

It won’t take many for my plan (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to work, but there aren’t many (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), either, which I accepted long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). We’ll see how it goes.

Been reading The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt. It has the usual biases, its revolves around six foundations of "morality" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory#The_five_foundations
The most interesting unrelated tidbit in the book is that human evolution speeded up in the last 50,000 years...have to ponder what that means...

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1317296&viewfull=1#post1317296):

If I had to guess, it was the changes that came with the human dispersal across the planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit). The human toolset did not change much, but their environments did. Adaptation to changing environmental conditions has long been considered a primary driver of evolution. The African environment was very different from what people encountered as they conquered Earth, from temperate forests to tundra. Also, that conquest incorporated the DNA of our cousin species that did not live in Africa, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, and I have read recent research that supports arguments that key genes were acquired from Neanderthals and Denisovans, which allowed Homo sapiens to become more successful. Denisovan DNA is thought to help Tibetans thrive in the thin air of the Tibetan Plateau, and Neanderthal DNA seems to have impacted disease susceptibility.

Environmental change and DNA mixing are dominant factors in evolutionary theory today, so that is what we may be seeing. Of course, the changes of domestication were new, too.

Just a guess. :)

Hi:

I have been working on the essay update, and will post up a revised chapter before long.

I recently wrote about the fraudulence of this recent “whistleblower” on Trump (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1890&viewfull=1#post1890), and Matt Taibbi just did (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/whistleblower-ukraine-trump-impeach-cia-spying-895529/), too. Real whistleblowers get crucified, and vilified in the media, not lionized and promoted, and this fake one is an anonymous coward spook, just doing his/her job.

As Taibbi also noted, the friends and families of real whistleblowers stand behind them, way behind them (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#whistleblower1). The attacks and ostracism by their friends and family are often the hardest for whistleblowers to handle. Living by one’s conscience is one of the most difficult feats on Earth, which few people achieve (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) at a meaningful level. My journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601) led to the loss of all contact with my immediate family. It just comes with the territory.

Hi:

As I have mentioned, it is not easy to render the links in my big essay draft, so I will put up chapter drafts without them. I will likely revise all chapters repeatedly before I publish the next version of my big essay, but below is one that I have been plunking away on. It is time to get cracking on one of my more significant revisions, which will be on warfare, domestication, and the beginning of civilization. I have probably done more studying on those topics in the past few years than on any other area.

Best,

Wade


The Toolset of Mainstream Science

Humanity is Earth's leading tool-using species, and our tools made us. Twigs, sticks, bones, and other organic materials were undoubtedly used as tools by our protohuman ancestors, but the only tools to survive for millions of years to be studied today are made of stone; the oldest discovered so far are about 3.4-to-3.3 million years old. The human evolutionary line’s tools have become increasingly sophisticated since then. The Industrial Revolution was accompanied by the Scientific Revolution, and the synergy between scientific and technological advances has been essential and impressive, even leaving aside the many technologies and related theories that have been developed and sequestered in clandestine enclaves.

The history of science is deeply enmeshed with the state of technology. Improving technology allowed for increasingly sophisticated experiments, and advances in science spurred technological innovation. While many scientific practices and outcomes have been evil, such as vivisection and nuclear weapons, others have not been destructive to humans or other organisms. The 20th century saw great leaps in technological and scientific advancement. My grandfather lived in a sod hut as a child, his son helped send men to the Moon, and his grandson pursued world-changing energy technologies and still does. Relativity and quantum theory initiated the era of modern physics and, with their increasingly sophisticated toolset, scientists began to investigate phenomena at galactic and subatomic scales. Space-based telescopes, electron microscopes, mass spectrometers, atomic clocks, supercolliders, computers, robots that land on distant moons and planets and even sail out of our solar system, and other tools allowed for explorations and experiments that were not possible in earlier times. It is not just the improvement in tools that is propelling these advances, but ingenious new ways to use them, which increasingly cross disciplinary lines and lead to new discoveries.

An example of the advances being made is the issue of feathers on dinosaurs. Immediately after the 1859 publication of Darwin’s The Origin of Species, Thomas Huxley proposed that birds were descended from dinosaurs. A fossil feather was discovered around 1861, the same year that the first archaeopteryx specimen was unearthed in London, which began a debate that still exists as I write this, but paleobiologists who argue that birds are not descended from dinosaurs comprise an almost non-existent faction in 2020. Other than that tiny faction and Creationists who subscribe to their views (because it seems to help support their contention that evolution is an invalid theory), the issue was settled in the late 20th century via fossil discoveries in China. In the generation since those discoveries, scientists have amazingly developed a very good idea of what colors their feathers were.

Paleontologists, who study fossils, have used scanning electron microscopes on fossils since the 1980s. When they studied fossil feathers, they found cylindrical structures that were later tested and found to be made of organic compounds, and they concluded that they were bacteria that fed on the feathers, decomposing them. That was a questionable interpretation, as there was not much digestible material in a feather, but paleontologists preserved their findings, believing that their discovery was related to fossilization. In 2007, a graduate student at Yale scanned a fossil feather that was more than 50 million years old and thought that those cylinders looked like pigment cells in bird feathers. His professors agreed, which led to the first scientific paper on the subject. The pigment cells in animals, called melanosomes, produce colors, and feathers have them, too. In pigment cells in today’s birds, different-shaped cells produce different colors, and when scientists discovered the same-shaped cells in fossil feathers, they could confidently infer the original color of those feathers. Reconstructions based on that reasonable assumption were stunning, and in 2020, many dinosaurs have had their colors reconstructed, scientists have discovered pigment cells in the skin of non-feathered dinosaurs, and have reconstructed their colors. Dinosaurs had coloring similar to today’s animals, with display (to attract mates) and camouflage (to hide) colors.

The reconstruction of dinosaur colors has yielded surprises. Birds also have iridescent colors that shimmer in sunlight as a display function, and iridescent pigment cells are distinctive. The four-winged dinosaur microraptor was originally hypothesized to be nocturnal, based on the size of its eyes, but reconstructions have shown that it had iridescent feathers, which would serve no purpose for a nocturnal animal, so it was likely active in the daytime, not at night.

Medullary tissue is found in female birds, and is related to the calcium requirements of laying eggs. When medullary tissue was reported in a Tyrannosaurus Rex leg bone in 2005, it not only established the gender of its owner, but further established the descent relationship between theropod dinosaurs and birds. There has been a renaissance in dinosaur studies in the past generation, as new fossils are discovered, new tools and techniques are used, and new questions are posed and pursued.

Both optical and radio telescopes have been used in concert in the past generation to observe celestial phenomena. When one captures an event of interest, other telescopes are electronically notified and robotically focus on the same event. Coordination of telescopes reached a new level of achievement in 2019 when telescopes around the world coordinated their activities to create a virtual telescope as large as Earth, and they imaged a black hole in a distant galaxy. That globe-spanning instrument was so sensitive that an insect that had been squished under the wheel of one telescope caused an imaging problem.

Intense organized suppression has existed in situations in which scientific and technological advances can threaten economic empires, but many areas of science are not seen as threatening, and reconstructing Earth’s distant past and the journey of life on Earth are some of those nonthreatening areas. I have never heard of a classified fossil site or a Precambrian specialist being threatened or bought out in order to keep him/her silent. There is more controversy with human remains and artifacts, but I am skeptical regarding popular works that argue for technologically advanced ancient civilizations in humanity’s past and related notions. A relatively unsullied science can be practiced regarding those ancient events without the threat of repercussions or the enticements of riches and Nobel Prizes. Much of this essay’s subject matter is concerned with areas in which the distortions of political-economic racketeering have been muted and the theories and tools have been relatively unrestricted.

Mass spectrometers measure the mass of atoms and molecules, and have become increasingly refined since they were first invented in the 19th century. In the early 1990s, a five-gram sample from fossil whale teeth was needed for spectroscopic analysis (to determine if they lived in the ocean or in freshwater, for instance), and scientists would need to decide which precious teeth needed to be sacrificed for the test. Twenty years later, a sample taken for testing left a nearly invisible hole in the sampled tooth. In 2020, samples that can only be seen with microscopes can be tested and measured down to a billionth of a gram. Elements have different numbers of protons and neutrons in the nuclei of their atoms, and each nuclear variation of an element is called an isotope. Unstable isotopes decay into smaller elements (also called “daughter isotopes”). Scientific investigations have determined that radioactive decay rates are quite stable and are primarily governed by the dynamics in a decaying atom. The dates determined by radioactive dating have been correlated to other observed processes and the data has become increasingly robust over the years.

The ability to weigh various isotopes, at increasing levels of precision, with mass spectrometers has provided a gold mine of data. Scientists are continually inventing new methods and ways to use them, new questions are asked and answered, and some examples of methods and findings follow.

Carbon has two primary stable isotopes: carbon-12 and carbon-13. Carbon-14 is the famous unstable isotope used for dating recently deceased organisms, but testing carbon’s stable isotopes has yielded invaluable information. Carbon is the backbone of all of life’s structures, and life processes often have a preference for using carbon-12, which is lighter than carbon-13 and hence take less energy to manipulate. Scientists have been able to test rocks in which the “fossils” are nothing more than smears and determine that those smears resulted from life processes, as there is proportionally more carbon-12 than carbon-13 than would be the case if life was not involved. This has also helped date the earliest life forms. Life’s preference for lighter isotopes is evident for other key elements such as sulfur and nitrogen, and scientists regularly make use of that preference in their investigations.

The process of Earth’s carbon cycle, in which carbon has been introduced to the air/land/sea environments by volcanism and removed through sedimentary deposition, has seen a steady decrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations over Earth’s history. That general trend has been disturbed during humanity’s fossil fuel era, which is warming Earth and melting ice globally. During the current icehouse Earth conditions, which have intensified during the past 35 million years, culminating in our current ice age, some plants developed new, more efficient, chemical pathways for using increasingly scarce carbon and water in our colder, dryer Earth, and what are called C4 plants appeared around 35 million years ago (“mya”), which do not discriminate against carbon-13 as much as C3 plants, which dominated before the current icehouse Earth, do. The isotopic signature of those plants can be discerned in the fossil teeth of animals that ate them, including the human line. Also, electron microscopes are being used to study fossil teeth, and the damage to those teeth is being used to determine the owner’s diet.

That approach yielded a recent surprise in studying the human line. Australopiths seem to have given birth to two descending lines, around when our current ice age began, represented by Homo habilis and Panthropus biosei. Homo habilis is generally considered the first member of the human genus, although there has been debate over that designation. Panthropus biosei is considered to be an evolutionary dead-end, whose line died out more than one mya, while Homo habilis led to Homo erectus (or perhaps both came from a common ancestor or both are part of the same evolving species) and there is no doubt among anthropologists that Homo erectus is humanity’s ancestor.

Until recently, the savannah hypothesis was dominant among anthropologists, for explaining how the human line became bipedal. Then, testing of Panthropus and early Homo teeth upset expectations. The findings were that Panthropus was a specialized eater of the grasses and sedges of the savannah, while early Homo had a more varied, more woodland diet. The diversity of early Homo’s diet is thought to help explain its rise, while Panthropus’s line went extinct. While bipedalism long predated early Homo and Panthropus, that early Homo preferred the woods and Panthropus the grasslands has confounded scientific expectations.

Isotope testing has been used to determine whether the owner of a human skeleton grew up where the skeleton was buried. The skeletons of three males who violently died in California were tested, and the isotopic evidence showed that their deaths happened at least several hundred years ago, long before the European invasion, and that those males did not grow up where they were buried, which suggested battle deaths. More than four kya, a man was buried near Stonehenge, in the most luxurious burial yet discovered of its time in northern Europe, and the man has been called the Amesbury Archer and King of Stonehenge, but isotopic analysis showed that he was originally from Central Europe, not the British Isles.

The hydrological cycle circulates water through Earth’s oceans, atmosphere, and land. The energy of sunlight drives it, and that sunlight is primarily captured at the surface of water bodies and the ocean in particular. The hydrological cycle’s patterns have changed over the eons as Earth’s surface has changed its continental configurations and temperature. Today’s global weather system generally begins with sunlight hitting the atmosphere, and the equator’s air receives the most direct radiation and becomes warmest. That air rises and cools, which reduces the water vapor that it can hold, so it falls as rain. That is why tropical rainforests are near the equator. The rising equatorial air creates high-pressure dry air that pushes toward the poles, and at about 30o latitude that air cools and sinks to the ground. That dry air not only does not bring precipitation, but it absorbs moisture from the land it hits and forms the world’s great deserts. That high pressure at the ground at 30o latitude pushes air back toward the tropics, and Earth’s rotation creates a distinctive bend in the northern and southern hemispheres that create trade winds that pick up moisture as they approach the equator. The pole-ward sides of the mid-latitudes’ dry temperate regions also have low pressures and wet climates, and dry high-pressure zones exist at the poles. As clouds pass over land, mountains force them upward and they lose their moisture in precipitation. As that water makes its way back to the oceans to start the cycle again, it provides the freshwater for all land-based ecosystems. Below is a diagram of those dynamics. (Source: Wikimedia Commons)

A water molecule containing oxygen-16 (the most common oxygen isotope) will be lighter than a water molecule containing oxygen-18 (both are stable isotopes), so it takes less energy to evaporate an oxygen-16 water molecule than an oxygen-18 water molecule. Also, after evaporation, oxygen-18 water will tend to fall back to Earth more quickly than oxygen-16 water will, because it is heavier. As a consequence, air over Earth’s poles will be enriched in oxygen-16 – the colder Earth’s surface temperature, the less oxygen-18 will evaporate and be carried to the poles – and scientists have used this enrichment to reconstruct a record of ocean temperatures. Also, the oxygen-isotope ratio in fossil shellfish (as their life processes prefer the lighter oxygen isotope) has been used to help determine ancient temperatures. During an ice age, because proportionally more oxygen-16 is retained in ice sheets and does not flow back to the oceans, the ocean’s surface becomes enriched in oxygen-18 and that difference can be discerned in fossil shells. Sediments are usually laid down in annual layers, and in some places, such as the Cariaco Basin off of Venezuela's coast, undisturbed sediments have been retrieved and analyzed, which has helped determine when ice sheets advanced and retreated during the present ice age.

Mass spectrometers have been invaluable for assigning dates to various rocks and sedimentary layers, as radioactive isotopes and their daughter isotopes are tested, including uranium-lead, potassium-argon, carbon-14, and many other tests. Also, the ratios of elements in a sample can be determined, which can tell where it originated. Many hypotheses and theories have arisen, fallen, and been called into question or modified by the data derived from those increasingly sophisticated methods, and a few examples should suffice to give an idea of what is being discovered.

The Moon rocks retrieved by Apollo astronauts are still being tested, as new experiments and hypotheses are devised. In 2012, a study was published which resulted from testing Moon rocks for the titanium-50 and titanium-47 ratios (both are stable isotopes), and it has brought into question the hypothesis that the Moon was formed by a planetary collision more than four billion years ago. The titanium ratio was so much like Earth’s that a collision with Earth forming the Moon has been questioned (as very little of the hypothesized colliding body became part of the Moon). The collision hypothesis will probably survive, but it may be significantly different from today’s hypothesis. Meteorites have been dated, as well as Moon rocks, and their ages confirm Earth’s age that geologists have derived, and meteorite dates provide more evidence that our solar system probably developed from an accretion disk.

In the Western Hemisphere, the Anasazi and Mayan civilization collapses of around a thousand years ago, or the Mississippian civilization collapse of 500 years ago, have elicited a great deal of investigation. From New Age ideas that the Anasazi and Mayan peoples “ascended” to the Eurocentric conceit that the Mississippian culture was European in origin, many speculations arose that have been falsified by the evidence. It is now known that the Anasazi and Mayan culture collapses were influenced by epic droughts, but that was only the proximate cause. The ultimate cause was that those civilizations were not energetically sustainable, and the unsustainable Mississippian culture was in decline long before Europeans invaded North America. The Anasazi used logs to build their dwellings that today are famous ruins. Scientists have used strontium ratios in the wood to determine where the logs came from, as well as dating the wood with tree-ring analysis and analyzing pack rat middens, and a sobering picture emerged. The region was already arid, but agriculture and deforestation desertified the region around Chaco Canyon, which was the heart of Anasazi civilization. When Anasazi civilization collapsed, at Chaco Canyon they were hauling in timber from mountains more than 70 kilometers away (the strontium ratios could trace each log from the particular mountain that it came from). When the epic droughts delivered their final blows, Anasazi civilization collapsed into a morass of starvation, warfare, and cannibalism, and the forest has yet to begin to recover, nearly a millennium later.

Another major advance happened in the late 20th century: the ability to analyze DNA. DNA’s double-helical structure was discovered in 1953. In 1973, the first amino acid sequence for a gene was determined. In 2003, the entire human genome was sequenced. Sequencing the chimpanzee genome was accomplished in 2005, for orangutans in 2011, and for gorillas in 2012. The comparisons of human and great ape DNA have yielded many insights, but the science of DNA analysis is still young. What has yielded far more immediately relevant information has been studying human DNA. The genetic bases of many diseases have been identified. Hundreds of falsely convicted Americans have been released from prison, and 20 from death row, due to DNA evidence's proving their innocence. Human DNA testing has provided startling insights into humanity's past. For instance, in Europe it appears that after the ice sheets receded 16,000 to 13,000 years ago, humans repopulated Europe, and for all the bloody history of Europe over the millennia since then, there have not really been mass population replacements in Europe by invasion, migration, genocide, and the like. Europeans just endlessly fought each other and honed the talents that helped them conquer humanity. There were some migrations of Fertile Crescent agriculturalists into Europe, but other than hunter-gatherers being displaced or absorbed by the more numerous agriculturalists, there do not appear to be many population replacements. In 2010, a study suggested that male farmers from the Fertile Crescent founded the paternal line for most European men as they mated with the local women. DNA testing has demonstrated that all of today’s humans are descended from a founder population of around 5,000-to-40,000 people, of whom a few hundred left Africa around 60-50 thousand years ago and conquered Earth. The Neanderthal genome has been sequenced, as well as genomes of other extinct species, and for a brief, exuberant moment, some scientists thought that they could recover dinosaur DNA, Jurassic-Park-style. Although dinosaur DNA is unrecoverable, organic dinosaur remains have been recovered, and even some proteins have been sequenced, which few scientists believed possible in the 1980s.

Since 1992, scientists have discovered planets in other star systems by using a variety of methods that reflect the improving toolset that scientists can use, especially space-based telescopes. Before those discoveries, there was controversy whether planets were rare phenomena, but scientists now admit that planets are typical members of star systems. Extraterrestrial civilizations are probably visiting Earth, so planets hosting intelligent life may not be all that rare.

Those interrelated and often mutually reinforcing lines of evidence have made many scientific findings difficult to deny. The ever-advancing scientific toolset, and the ingenuity of scientists developing and using them, and particularly the multidisciplinary approach that scientists and scholars are increasingly using, have made for radical changes in how we view the past. Those radical changes will not end any time soon, and what follows will certainly be modified by new discoveries and interpretations, but I have tried to stay largely within the prevailing findings, hypotheses, and theories, while also poking into the fringes and leading edges somewhat. Any mistakes in fact or interpretation in what follows are mine.

Hi:

Attached are pics from a hike last weekend with my wife and niece. That is as good as my life gets. It is becoming an annual pilgrimage to go see the autumn larches. Because of timing issues, we went a little early this year, and the larches were not quite “ripe,” but still, not bad. Last year (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1255641&viewfull=1#post1255641), they were at their peak when we visited. That was probably my last high-country hike for this year. It was not a bad hiking year. Better than the past two, but not great, either. I am too busy! :) I usually try to do at least one new hike a year, but did not get to anyplace new this year. It was to the tried-and-true spots (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/page17?p=1781&viewfull=1#post1781), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1812&viewfull=1#post1812), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1813&viewfull=1#post1813), 5 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1820&viewfull=1#post1820), 6 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1851&viewfull=1#post1851), 7 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1880&viewfull=1#post1880), 8 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1884&viewfull=1#post1884)). Those will never get old.

I suffer from an embarrassment of riches on hiking choices, so no complaints, but I’ll make an attempt to get someplace new next hiking season. I still have dozens of hikes to new spots on my list. We’ll see how far I get through them in this lifetime.

Hi:

This is not a new subject, but it bears repeating, on the difficulty of my task. My best students almost invariably try to go spread the “good news” of free energy and the coming Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), to only return to me dismayed by the experience, as all that they received was indifference, denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), and ostracism. I caution all of them from doing that, but they just have to find out for themselves. Only a few have not done that. It is a relatively low-risk way to “test” what I write about (but I have seen careers ruined by trying that approach), and my best students come back to me, chastened by the experience, and willing to learn. The social approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) is not going to work for this. The grim fact is that almost nobody cares (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). The horizons of their awareness end at the limits of their immediate self-interest, and even for those who try, the Fifth Epoch remains virtually unimaginable to them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). It is just the reality of the world that we live in, I stopped judging the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) long ago, and just work with what I have. That is what a world based on scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) looks like. The masses won’t even begin to understand until the Fifth Epoch arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and that is normal.

That said, I periodically test the waters, as I did with those thru-hikers recently (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1884&viewfull=1#post1884). My bona fides are far more spectacular than I am at liberty to publicly write about, and when I dip my line in the water, those people get the full Monty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_full_monty_(phrase)). I could sit down with them at a computer for a few minutes and surf to various documents that establish my bona fides (as people have died, I can reveal a little more, here (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653) and there (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page14?p=1491&viewfull=1#post1491)). It is not easy to deny the reality of my journey, and the reactions have been interesting over the years.

For some few, they immediately get it, and they are usually the worldlier ones, who have also broken out of the ideological straightjackets (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) that most Americans are strangled by. When I have told former CFOs my tale, they almost all immediately understand, and have no doubt about the reality of my journey. They have seen enough of how the world really works, at the boardroom and street-capitalist level, and my revelations are no great shock to them. They know that capitalism is a form of gangsterism, and the existence of the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) is no great surprise to them. The cubicle level of awareness is where I get the most denial and “skepticism.” A former assistant who embraced certain death (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cancer), over even following up on some of the names that I gave her, was “skeptical” of the reality of my journey. She worked for me for five years, saw my talent in action (and knew that it was far greater than hers), and yet was “skeptical” of the reality of my journey, skeptical enough to embrace certain death over taking me seriously.

I have received reactions of “this guy is crazy,” “he is a con man,” and other responses to the plain facts of my journey, from various professionals. Again, very few are really at home, and I am just relating my experiences, not some YouTube video that I saw or some clever book that I just read. If I can hardly find anybody home, and I have undeniable bona fides, from my days on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584), what are the chances of my pupils, who rush out to tell their social circles the “good news”? Their chances are slim and none. That approach is not going to work.

What might work, however, is what I am attempting to get going: a high-level, comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) discussion, ala Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), in which the promise of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) is discussed, along with the acknowledgement of the existence of the technologies that make the Fifth Epoch possible (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), how they have been sequestered and why, why the standard approaches will not work for this (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), and how my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is something different, might make a dent if enough of us can hit the notes, and it can’t hurt.

Rather ironically, denial and indifference is often a better reaction for me than interest, as the interested nearly invariably drag their baggage along and can’t let go, which are variations on how they survive in a world of scarcity and fear, and what they have given their allegiance (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) (and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1)) to. Quite often, they go into attack mode when I don’t embrace their approach and bright ideas for making it happen that they think that nobody has thought of before. That is their egos talking, and we have to overcome our egos if we are going to make a dent. They have to empty their cup before they can drink the good stuff.

Much of my work is to help the people I seek let the last vestiges of that baggage go. People get comfort from their baggage (and it has helped them survive), but dragging it along it will not help with this Epochal task. Helping the biggest event in the human journey manifest is not a chore for the usual approaches. I learned that the hard way over many years. I hope that I have another 30 good years in me, to try this out, and we’ll see how it goes.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As I work on my essay update, I think about what I am attempting to impart, and more than anything else, it is the Fifth Epoch’s potential (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). It will be more explicit and should be easier to understand than the current version. Maybe not by a lot, but it should be clearer. People can’t really understand the Fifth Epoch’s potential until they understand the role that energy has always played on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents), and particularly the human journey. They also need to come to some understanding of the inertia in our social systems, and how they operate. I have often stated that most of the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) that we encountered was structural in nature (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=722&viewfull=1#post722), not conspiratorial (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism). That understanding will also help them understand why the usual approaches have all failed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches).

Prosecutors who only care about their “kill ratio” and don’t even care if their targets are innocent or not (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care), and are very willing to lie (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#lie) to gain that coveted conviction, fit in just fine in our “justice” system, in which up to half of the people incarcerated are innocent of the crimes that they were accused of. The corruption can boggle the mind (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1440&viewfull=1#post1440). Mass-murdering thieves become heroic icons (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms) in national ideology, as historians prostitute themselves (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity). The media is also deeply complicit (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big). Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) showed how hard it was for any reporter or journalist to report something resembling the truth, and whistleblowers are crucified as a matter of course (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1897&viewfull=1#post1897), and vilified in the media. That is what happens to people of conscience. The structural constraints are severe, but few really want to break free of them, anyway. My own original profession is compromised to the core (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting). They all just want full bellies, roofs over their heads, and their addictions temporarily sated. That is a direct example of my integrity observation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). Only people with the requisite integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) and who are awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) are going to be able to make a dent.

But, as the energy surplus increased over the Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), human societies became more humane. Slavery was a hallowed institution three centuries ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas), as old as history (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning), and it was only when machines began replacing people that people began growing the conscience that saw slavery as evil. Similarly, before the rise of civilization, slaughtering one’s neighbors and stealing their women was standard operating procedure, not much different from how chimps operate (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary). When comfortable Westerners are aghast at “backward” parts of the world, where women are second-class citizens, where “honor killings” and the like are prevalent, they don’t seem to realize that those are simply hallmarks of agrarian societies. The West was like that once, too. Not that long ago, cannibalism was common in Europe.

So, if and when the Fifth Epoch arrives, these changes will be no-brainers to foresee for people who have developed the comprehensive awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) that my effort needs:


All pollution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) and environmental devastation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#forest2) will end;
Poverty will end (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), globally;
Warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) will end;
Nations and races (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations) will end, and there will be one universal language;
Cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities) as we know them will end;
Money (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange) will become meaningless;
Elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) will become obsolete;
The nuclear family (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#family) will likely become quaint and largely obsolete;
Humanity will become a space-faring species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spacejunk).


Those are easily foreseeable outcomes of the Fifth Epoch. Not bad. The technology is already here (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) for it. Who wants to help make it happen? :)

Wade

Hi:

Briefly, in our neo-Orwellian times (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell), a spook helping take out the sitting president is a “whistleblower” in the media’s parlance. That is a Big Lie (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/msm-defends-cias-whistleblower-ignores-actual-whistleblowers-5fbe577d988d). Real whistleblowers get taken out (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1879&viewfull=1#post1879). This is the kind of doublespeak that Ed wrote about from the beginning of his political writing career (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#orwell). The media never even misses a beat, as it castigates and character assassinates real whistleblowers while promoting fake ones. Surreal times.

Best,

Wade

Thank you soo much. & also why the real lightworkers are heavily targeted & being suppressed while the shills get all the media attention. I want to shout out to the late Max Spiers. I don't know what you think of him. Max is my spiritual mentor. 1 of the few whistleblowers I felt a strong connection to.

I wished I had the cognitive abilities of Nikola Tesla to study his works with ease. Its going to take alot of hard work.

Blessed. You are doing an awesome job.

Hi:

To my recent post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might/page4?p=1900&viewfull=1#post1900) on the difficulty of my task and the problems of free energy newcomers’ proselytizing to their social circles, I have written on my mild surprise in the past year (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1873&viewfull=1#post1873), when I contacted people from my wild ride who acquitted themselves honorably. There weren’t many, but those that walked away honorably will always have my appreciation and high regard. But not even one of them wanted to interact with me, to better understand the magnitude of what they were involved with. Did I ever have some news for them (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). To them, they were involved in a business opportunity that did not work out and was best forgotten about, other than the lessons on the downsides of risky ventures. The Epochal nature of our pursuit (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) was not really interesting to them, not interesting enough to outweigh revisiting the trauma of their involvement.

So, when free newcomers rush out to proselytize to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and all that they receive is indifference, denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), and ostracism, they are experiencing less than 1% of the phenomenon. If I can’t even get the interest of people who were involved in my adventures, who were actually the good guys, how receptive is the man on the street going to be? My adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601) seem to have taken place on a different planet for Joe Average. The reality that I discovered is highly threatening to his self-serving illusions (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and he needs to dispatch the threat, pronto. Again, it took me many years to understand where Joe Average is coming from, and I accepted it long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). He won’t even begin to awaken until the Fifth Epoch arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and that is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine).

I am not trying to awaken the sleeping with my work. Only the awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) and awakening are going to be helpful for my task, and it all starts in the heart (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308). I accepted many years ago that I seek needles in haystacks. They are out there, but they are few and far between (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers). It is just the nature of this task. Helping manifest the biggest event in the human journey is not an effort that many are fit for, which finally made sense to me. I was a slow learner of that lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), resisting it every step of the way, until it was beaten into my head in no uncertain terms. I am sympathetic to people in denial of that reality, and all that I can say is that it can be a painful lesson but a necessary one, to awaken to the reality, if people really want to help end the world as we know it and bring about something that looks like heaven on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate).

Best,

Wade

Hi Lyran (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1318153&viewfull=1#post1318153):

Thanks. I don’t know anything about Max. You know how I feel about the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) and Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) ( :) ), so I don’t know how to take what I read about his demise (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Max_Spiers). All that I could find about his work is that it was involved with the UFO cover-up (https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/max-spiers-death-of-british-ufo-hunter-will-simply-not-be-accepted-by-the-conspiracy-theory-community_uk_5c3740dfe4b05cb31c3fdc1e?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALJ_KKfMqrLoygCW07kCtHn8yEi8etMFByDpiaTAYNbXvPYGkjk9RbZVTT8WObkxz3fm8v0jsHkR-IM7SzVAtyT2rGNw4A9RzBIUpOYJh6bJEALP0lvcFmJMqGsNa05yi_OUagNu-l7aDgXUbgmDNAnIiWhCvXXZvf2a3qPQ7qlM).

Well, the cover-up is real (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), but I have no idea on where he might have fit in. It seems that mental problems attended his journey, which is common. There are many hazards of searching beyond the cage that traps nearly all of humanity today, and lots of chaff out there, which is also part of the cover-up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page3?p=416&viewfull=1#post416). People have to be very grounded to go on that journey and not crash and burn. I am not really a conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism), although I am often mistaken for one.

I have a picture to show.. https://i.postimg.cc/hj8jwZ2V/14-09-15-free-energy-for-all-humans-as-gods.jpg its a compiled diagram.

On those diagrams, I can’t write much on comparing the solar system to Tesla coils to human energy systems. They are all energy systems, and all ultimately related, but I try to not make too many comparisons between the systems, such as comparing the Van Allen belt to a Tesla coil component, or a Tesla coil to the human chakra system. I am not saying that there may not be valid comparisons and connections between them, but I am not qualified to venture a meaningful opinion on that.

I know that free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) and exotic technologies such as electrogravity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=1355&viewfull=1#post1355) are on the planet today, I have experienced esoteric energies coming out of me (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hands), I have called adepts Level 19s (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level19), and I suspect that it is all related (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divine).

Hi Lyran (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1318355&viewfull=1#post1318355):

Yes, the journey was a devastating one (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey) in many ways, but it woke me up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). Without those adventures, I would likely not have much worth saying.

With the many preposterous events in my life (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2)), I long ago accepted that I am on special assignment, and keep on plugging. Being on special assignment is a mixed blessing, let me tell you. You get all of manner of gifts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102) and fortunate circumstances (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), and then you have to do something with them. Nobody gets off easy. :)

I have never been able to turn my back on my life’s work. Chasing the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is plenty to have on anyone’s plate. I am the last man standing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) among my closest colleagues and, to a degree, I am carrying on for them, doing my best to make a dent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

I was supposed to call a dying friend this morning, and I have to put it on hold until tomorrow, with my crazily busy life. I am fast becoming an old man now, with family, friends, and colleagues dying right and left, and I look back on my life and can scarcely believe that it happened like it did. No regrets, but what a surreal ride it has been.

FYI, reading my forum posts seems to be a relatively easy way to get gradually immersed in my work.

Hi Lyran (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1318355&viewfull=1#post1318355):

Yes, the journey was a devastating one (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey) in many ways, but it woke me up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). Without those adventures, I would likely not have much worth saying.

With the many preposterous events in my life (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2)), I long ago accepted that I am on special assignment, and keep on plugging. Being on special assignment is a mixed blessing, let me tell you. You get all of manner of gifts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102) and fortunate circumstances (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), and then you have to do something with them. Nobody gets off easy. :)

Good stuffs that was heartfelt. Its good to share personal stories along with their projects. People can than relate you as a human like everyone else instead of some typical cult guru who just feeds on gaining status with mindless followers. Also people can understand your true nature & intentions all that. Because many people take advantage of others kindness. You talk about those self serving are in higher ratio than those who are others serving. Many people just take & take & forget to give. its going to be to be hard to convert many to others serving due to the subliminal conditioning of the masses done by the cabal.

I don't know if you practice the law of attraction. I can share a simple method that I practice its a DIY method I came up with. Its based on Carl jung's symbology. Different matter have different energy. Including the movement, direction, expression all that brings different energy. Good omens & bad omens. Some positive some negative. I try to avoid images & scenes in life that brings bad omen. I had observed during the courses of time what sort of matter brings what sort of omens. I use the online dream dictionary & browse the various omens listed online for reference. For example a bad omen, seeing balloons brings future quarrels with loved ones. Another bad omen seeing crocodiles brings bad confrontations with malicious people. What I do is I save photos of positive energy images compile & place them in a folder & browse the images daily few times a day. Like happy dogs which brings great social life. Spider which brings fortune. Gecko which brings good luck. 1111 also brings good luck. I think you get the idea. Maybe I might start a project on this to list out the omens extensively with description but no pictures added & add it to another method for the law of attraction. I can't do it alone & I'll have to find people to get involved.

I'll be spending time reading your links. Thanks for showing them to me. Heres a song for you, the humbling river by pucifer, for some inspiration. O0YxeTjFn70

I am trying to overcome the limitations of this medium and be as real as I can, as I attempt to build a virtual community.

In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), most people are going to be primarily self-serving (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving). Those are just the numbers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). In a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance), that can change (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and it will necessarily be based on abundant and clean energy.

I have a life review every day. On both my work and home computers, I have a picture cache of over 3,000 images. They play on my desktop and screensaver all day. I spend most of my waking hours looking at those screens. Many of the pictures are of natural wonders, from the microscopic to the galactic, but most are of pictures from my life. Most are of happy moments, with family and friends or being in nature (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm), and at my age, it is becoming the case that most of the people in the pictures are now deceased. But I think happy thoughts of them, and it helps both of us.

I grew up in Southern California, had my mystical awakening at age 16 (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva), and have I ever seen the phony gurus come and go. The entire guru game is a loser. I was fortunate to not be subject to heavy religious indoctrination while growing up, and realized from the beginning that the worship game goes nowhere. Whenever somebody hero-worships me, I know that they will later attack me, as that is part of that particular trip. I am just a guy trying to make a dent, who has been at it for nearly 50 years and is now becoming an old man.

Yeah I agree with your points on the gurus. & dogma is a poison that wise people should avoid.

Its hard not to ignore the dark aspects of your life you had been through. You have documented on the dark agendas of the cabal's suppression of the free energy movement. They are vile & nasty creatures with zero conscience of their foul actions. Im a TI & have to go through nonsense myself. You & your friends are true heros. You have made the accomplishments & can look back & smile. You have much much more ahead of you.

I wish your friend that you had to call the best & a smooth transition. The best place for the soul to be during the last days is within the heart.

I don’t know what TI means. As Seth (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth) said, the enemy is always dogma. :) Actually, I may have gotten my friend to be the first person that I ever convinced to try 714-X (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#personal). The other person, over 20 years ago, balked at the idea of injections. My friend is nearly 80, so this is not going to give her 40 more years or so. We’ll see how it goes.

On my journey, I have my small pantheon of great ones (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1886&viewfull=1#post1886), mostly dead today, and while their journeys can be inspirational, what is most important, for me, is what they learned on their journeys. Our awareness is all that we take with us. Yes, some pretty dark forces (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) call the shots on Earth today, but only because virtually everybody else has largely abdicated their responsibility (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). It won’t take many (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) to right the ship, but they are going to be unusual people (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), freaks, really. Those “bad guys” are divine members of creation, although they don’t remember it, and they have some dark paths ahead of them (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell), but the dark path is not forever. All paths lead home. Some are just a little more adventurous.

Yes, the journey never ends. I always wonder where I could have done better, and I have had my failures, but I can’t regret any of my journey, and I sleep easy knowing that I have given it the college try and am not nearly finished.

TI means Targeted Individuals, victims of gangstalking & electronic harassment. In a whole you & your friends were also TIs. They mark every single people on earth who have special cognitive abilities & higher benevolent attributes than others including animals like whales & dolphins who get attacked by their psychotronic weapons. Well they also target whistleblowers, oppositions & various others.

How effective is 714x in treatment for cancer & other illness? Have you tried turpentine for healing purposes?

Its true what you say of creation. Everything is consciousness playing out their mini roles. & here we are confined to causality cause & effects. Karma governs the multiverse which are interlinked. Some parallel timelines do intercept each other.

There are some people within the cabal who decided to change paths. More & more of humanity are waking up some ways or another. In this modern technological age we made much progress as compared to the past thousands of years, when truth is distorted to the masses. We still have lots of work to progress as a collective.

You did an awesome job as it wasnt easy to deal with those pest hindering your progress.

I am familiar with the TI concept, but not the terminology. I’ll buy that anybody who comes in to make a dent will have blessings, challenges, and be targeted by both “sides” - the light and the dark, but it is their friends, family, and colleagues who will usually do the most damage, which you could not have convinced me of 40 years ago, but my fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#allies) and I learned that one the hard way.

When I sacrificed my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage), the biggest miracle that I ever witnessed happened, which we all knew was a case of divine intervention. I may have been the target of some of the GCs’ (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) psychotronic weapons at key junctures in my journey, and that was no fun.

Back when AIDS was a death sentence, there were cases of 714-X reversing it (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens). It essentially restarts immune systems that have been shut down by feeding the errant cells that shut down the immune system so that they could extract nitrogen compounds by attacking neighboring cells. If I got cancer, I would fast and do 714-X. But, I am into prevention far more than I am remedies. I don’t know anything about turpentine as a therapy. I am on day seven of a fast right now, on a mission to regain my college weight and maintain it. Not easy to do at my age and still racing with the rats.

Most TIs always face issues with family & friends. I don't know maybe their tech was different back than & they had different protocols. Its more updated now & they can mind control weak people to start conflicts or have bad looks to a TI in public, work, home anywhere. Psychotronic weapons are sadistic. There are some TIs who get really bad scars on their body. I really hope this issue gets delt with within 10 years. Since there's soo much evidence, testimonials & documentation on their attacks.

Its cool you are taking a positive outlook of things..

Maybe if its possible to reopen past cases of your friends. Or maybe you prefer to let it rest. In the past it was harder to trace the evidence. Now with open infos all over the internet exposing their nasty weapons & agendas. They can't hide that much.

I am well aware of what the CIA does. Too aware (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia). In my experience, in order to be a so-called TI, you have to be high profile and present an immediate threat. Ralph McGhee (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm) was a CIA whistleblower, one of the highest-profile whistleblowers ever, and the CIA made his life a living hell, until he was finally silenced. His boss, Colby (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#colby), is testifying for the CIA in that clip that you linked to. Colby was found floating in a river soon after contacting Greer’s effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=942&viewfull=1#post942). Greer’s team all came down with unusual and advanced forms of cancer soon after those Congressional hearings, and Greer was the only one to survive them (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak).

When Brian put on a UFO conference, the military tried to recruit him to do UFO work, and when Brian refused, he nearly died the next day (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) of a “heart attack.” Sparky Sweet naively mailed working prototypes of his free energy gizmo to the leading energy institutions, expecting a ticker-tape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2). The opposite happened, which led to escalating harassment, which led to death threats and Sparky fled into hiding in the Mojave Desert, and Brian visited him there (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky), a week before Sparky died of a “heart attack.”

The GCs may have well gotten involved in our Seattle days (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=595&viewfull=1#post595), wiping out our effort, but what was most educational to me was watching those around us eagerly helping them out (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604). That was my first real awakening moment during my ride with Dennis. Many more came after that (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why), culminating in my day on the witness stand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681).

We attracted the attention of both the so-called White and Black Hats in Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), and they raised their game in my home town, where the CIA offered Dennis a billion dollars to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) before they lowered the boom on us (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail). Dennis was supposed to die in prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), but he is hard to kill. When he got out of prison, he began barnstorming the USA, which led to a lot more attention, and I can’t go into a lot of it publicly, but let’s just say that he gave the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) some interesting days at the office. Like Sparky, Dennis thought that he would get the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1) when he hit Seattle, to only get the opposite treatment. He was finally run out of the USA, soon after David Rockefeller got involved (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888).

Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange were all targeted after they went public, and all are either in exile or incarceration. Those are the kinds of TIs that I am familiar with, and I have been one, too. But I don’t pay much attention to the spooks (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/115-The-Spooks), and don’t make it easy for them by doing stupid or illegal things or try to play the hero.

About a decade ago, I remember that Hopegirl woman making waves with a naive beginner’s effort in the free energy field. Notice that the TIs that I have described above were all very high profile people, doing things that attracted retribution from the power structure, at both the national and global levels. That is the playing field that I am used to.

What I see Hopegirl doing I am not so sure is a valuable public service. I strongly suspect that 90+% of those who think that they are TIs in that milieu suffer from paranoia and other mental illnesses. Delusions of grandeur are common in the field, and people declare themselves the Messiah and Second Coming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), such are the hazards to the ego that the free energy pursuit presents. I have had plenty of challenges to my ego (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=621&viewfull=1#post621), particularly in the early days of my quest, so I know the terrain and do my best to keep my ego in check, and I have seen many casualties in this milieu. Most were via self-inflicted wounds or made by their “allies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#allies),” not the activities of the GCs, who rarely need to roll out of bed, as the situations take care of themselves, or lower-level players (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) do the dirty work, gratis.

For real people (Hopegirl does not qualify; nobody using pseudonyms does, and pseudonyms sure don’t give any protection from the spooks), my experience is that they have to play at high levels of the game (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road) before they get targeted for neutralization. Free energy inventors (with the goods – very few of them do) are in kind of a special category, as they can get attention very early on, and a lot of them had untimely demises (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors).

I am doing something that plays a little lower on the radar (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic), so that those involved with me don’t have to worry about becoming TIs. If I get the choir going (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir?p=81&viewfull=1#post81), it won’t matter what the GCs do. They will quietly slink away, and they can go with my blessings.

So, I get the TI issue, but I don’t really pay much attention to it. My work’s focus is something different. The material in my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) is where my efforts are focused, and I am into scientific papers and scholarship, not YouTube clips so much. I am doing something different, and it is not easy for people to understand. Can we give the TI issue a rest for now?

Best,

Hi:

I have been plunking along lately on that new chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page2?p=1849&viewfull=1#post1849) on key themes in my big essay. I’ll try to publish something soon on it. I have been reading Darwin’s Unfinished Symphony (https://www.amazon.com/Darwins-Unfinished-Symphony-Culture-Human/dp/0691151180) lately.

My essay update will have plenty of new material on human evolution and how behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap) arrived on the evolutionary scene. While evolution marches onward, there has been very little human evolution since we became behaviorally modern. Races are pretty superficial changes. We can all interbreed, and maybe Ashkenazi Jews (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jewish) are a lot smarter than Australian aborigines, at least with the “intelligence” that we Westerners prize so much, but in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), those differences will all quickly disappear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), on the order of a few centuries at most, and the average human IQ will be around Einstein’s level (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748).

I constantly see analyses of today’s world in which the authors view the issues through a prism of scarcity, and energy scarcity in general. I saw this one (https://www.oftwominds.com/blogoct19/heresy-tech10-19.html) yesterday. This guy (https://kunstler.com/) regularly produces peak-oil-ish commentary. I contacted the first author years ago and never heard back, and did not even bother with the second.

I can’t tell you how many times that I see analyses on how too little, too late, traditional alternative energy is, such as here (https://www.peakprosperity.com/getting-real-about-green-energy/), or what kinds of problems plague current energy methods, such as here (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/business/pge-california-outage.html). I have yet to see anybody outside of the tiny free energy milieu even hint at free energy. It lies entirely outside of their universe of the possible, and the GCs like it that way (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#summary). It is easy to enslave people who do not even realize that they are enslaved.

Virtually every “visionary” work that I have seen, which acknowledges how energy is the ballgame and that fossil fuels are being quickly depleted (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil), with the traditional alternatives (and nukes, shudder…) woefully inadequate, their only “solutions” are versions of austerity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity), depopulating the planet, and so on.

For somebody with my background (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm), it can be depressing to witness. At his life’s end, Brian was beside himself regarding how totally shut-out and ignored free energy was, even though he was well aware that it is a reality (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground).

But, I accepted that blindness and entrapment in the dominant paradigms (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) long ago, and keep doing what I do, trying to find or attract the needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). In some ways, it has been a surreal journey, in others, kind of normal. I punch the clock in corporate America and live like the rest of my fellow Americans, even though my mind is someplace very different. I am very sympathetic to people who can’t handle my work. It is not easy to do in our world.

Awakening to even the possibility of free energy is far beyond where most people can go, and ignorance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0), denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) predominate when the subject is broached. In the Fifth Epoch, virtually all of the problems listed in that first analysis above simply evaporate.

Attaining the balance of going deeply enough on a subject to gain a competent understanding of it, but to also be able to pull back, put it in its proper context, and refrain from making it a subject to grind one’s ax on, is not easy. 

I see it all the time, and you can see it on my Avalon thread and elsewhere, as I get approached by people who seize on a minor aspect of what I am doing make it the centerpiece of their awareness, and they can’t let go.  From what I have seen, it is scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) that keeps them locked into those areas, trapped there, and they won’t develop a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) of these issues while they are stuck there.  Those choir qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) won’t ever change much. It is just what I discovered over many years, of what it takes to be able to hit the notes.

My work is about one thing: helping manifest the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).  The rest really is noise.

My big essay is largely about showing how energy practices have always been the foundation of each Epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), and the issue really goes back to the beginning (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents). Without the foundation, the rest could not happen. Without the energy practices that grew (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain) and maintained the human-line’s brain, there would be no humanity, without the energy provided by crops (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran), there would be no civilization, and without the rise in energy consumption in a rising Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hma), and tapping coal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse) was by far the most important, there would not have been an Industrial Revolution. Without free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity ), there will not be a Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Arguments can be made that fission or fusion could bring on the Fifth Epoch, and they are worth entertaining, but free energy trumps them by a long ways. One of the GCs’ (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) contingency plans is to bring fusion to the world, at a billion dollars a pop (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_Compact_Fusion_Reactor), to keep it under the umbrella of capitalism and their control. Something that can be mass produced for almost nothing would crash their applecart, which is why they are so vigilant (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic) about keeping the lid on free energy.

Time for work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I saw some recent edits to Ed’s Wikipedia bio (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_S._Herman&action=history), and time to write a little more on the quality of editors on that article. First, they are virtually all anonymous cowards. The most dominant is a disinformation specialist and likely intelligence asset (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621&viewfull=1#post1621), and the recent edits are standard for that editor, including erasing the word “scholarship” to describe Ed’s work (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_S._Herman&diff=921096451&oldid=921096189). Noam has been the world’s most prominent intellectual for more than 50 years, who will take his place with Socrates, Newton, and Einstein in the history of Western thought when he finally hangs it up, but his work does not quite qualify as “scholarship” in the halls of Wikipedia.

But I want to focus on an editor who claims American Indian heritage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Smallchief). When I made my splash at Wikipedia when editing Ed’s bio, that editor chimed in (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Edward_S._Herman#Doing_justice_to_Ed%E2%80%99s_life) and thought that I was taking it “too easy” on Ed, where he was “wrong” on Cambodia and Srebrenica, when Ed was not wrong at all, as his focus was on the media’s double-standards on those situations. That editor actually asked me if I was familiar with the Nation article that Noam and Ed published, when I discussed it a few paragraphs previously. That editor is not a very astute reader, at best.

When I summarized the libel in Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751), I noted the astounding incompetence to list that there were only four filters in Ed and Noam’s propaganda model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), when anybody with the slightest familiarity with their work knows that there are five. The fourth of the five, flak (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#flak), was inexplicably not listed in Ed’s bio, even though Wikipedia’s article on the propaganda model had it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_model#Flak).

So, an editor finally added it back, and that so-called American Indian editor deleted it (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_S._Herman&diff=921182352&oldid=921170116)! Not only did he delete it, he challenged the other editor with, “you'll have to prove to me that ‘flak’ is a filter.” There you have it. That American Indian editor has absolutely no familiarity with Ed’s work, and brags that he is one of the primary editors of Ed’s Wikipedia bio. A disinformation specialist and people without the slightest familiarity with Ed’s work are its primary editors, and they watch the article like a hawk, deleting anything that contradicts the propaganda version of Ed’s bio. That is Wikipedia in action, as my work is erased (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), while the eraser admin makes unfounded allegations, insults, threats, and swears (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brian_O%27Leary&diff=850269000&oldid=847108308) while he is at it. Ed’s bio at Wikipedia is kind of a monument to the validity of his and Noam’s propaganda model.

I have been reading that recent book on Ed and David Peterson’s writings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1874&viewfull=1#post1874). It is always good reading, and I discovered what I suspected, that the names of the bloodbath categories (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#bloodbaths) were also Ed’s invention. As with “worthy and unworthy victims (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#worthy),” those bloodbath categories seemed like something that Ed would come up with. Noam never really comes up with witty neologisms like that. Those kinds of inventions were what made him “Uncle Ed” to me, long before I ever contacted him (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1599&viewfull=1#post1599).

The good news is that now my bio of Ed always comes up as the second result at Google (https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=edward+s+herman), right below Wikipedia’s formidable effort. We’ll see if I outlast Wikipedia. Tune in again in 30 years.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I can’t help but be aware of what has been hitting the media in recent years and months. Colonizing Mars is all the talk these days (https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Colonizing-Mars-Is-No-Longer-A-Dream.html), but I still have not seen Brian mentioned (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars). That is a very old game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars) that is now going mainstream.

Another other trend of note is the American military’s open acknowledgment of UFOs (https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/04/24/us-navy-drafting-new-guidelines-reporting-ufos.html), and related to it is advanced technology patents by the Navy (https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28729/docs-show-navy-got-ufo-patent-granted-by-warning-of-similar-chinese-tech-advances), including a compact nuclear reactor (https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/30256/scientist-behind-the-navys-ufo-patents-has-now-filed-one-for-a-compact-fusion-reactor), not far removed from Lockheed’s project (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_Compact_Fusion_Reactor).

This all follows a longtime purported script of trickling out some of the technologies in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard via the military and spook companies such as Lockheed, as they don’t want to make Earth uninhabitable and have to try living on Mars.

Let me make one thing clear: none of what we are seeing is the good stuff, like what was shown to my pal a generation ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). My friend was shown commercial-level free energy, antigravity, and other mind-boggling technologies. His show was part of another contingency plan, for him to be a “white knight on a steed” hero to bring these technologies out. Disposable heroes such as Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) and my friend have been targeted to be used that way, while the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) get to stay in the shadows, even those so-called White Hats (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#white).

The Navy’s, Lockheed’s, and related technologies that are being made public is third-rate technology, compared to what my friend was shown, but it can be made for a billion dollars and more a pop, so it can keep the big corporations in the chips and everything still under their control. What my friend was shown, and what somebody such as Sparky Sweet (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) was developing, could be cheaply mass-produced, it would quickly be Game Over (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) for the GCs, and the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) would soon arrive.

But they are well aware that if any of it gets out, it is only a matter of time before it all gets out. Make no mistake; if free energy makes its appearance, my work will be more vital than ever. My work is about a healed humanity and planet, and the end of scarcity, violence, exploitation, and other banes of the human journey. We can’t get there if it all stays under the control of the GCs, huge corporations, and the military. They are the very hearts of darkness, and none of those organizations will survive for long in the Fifth Epoch (and neither will nations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), money (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange), etc.). Those technologies’ coming into the open will be the beginning of the end for them, but that is a fine thing. Even they can be redeemed, although many in their ranks are going to be joining Max and friends (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell) when they pass over, but the dark path (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) is not forever, either. All roads lead home (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#tale). Love will reign (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#jesus), not fear. This (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) will always be one of the stars that I steer by, and I hope to live to see us turn the corner away from this (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).

Hi:

One of my professional abilities is to take a great deal of information and process it, and come up with something novel, breakthrough, even. When I was a trucking company controller (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes), my big aha moment came after nearly five years there, when I was at the end of my rope, but I had recently been able to snoop into the last area of the business that was previously off-limits to me, the safety department, and in a flash (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flash), I saw how to take the company paperless (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=273&viewfull=1#post273). I was too far ahead of my time, and nobody above me in the management structure understood what I was talking about. Going paperless in corporate back-offices is the rage today, but in 1996, it was like I was from Mars.

Getting every truck driver home every night (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#vision) was a side-effect of my flash of insight. Today, some trucking companies are doing something along the lines that I envisioned. Of course, human-piloted vehicles are on their way out. Some world-class minds immediately understood and appreciated what I came up with, but they were among the few. I was warned from a young age of the hazards of genius. It is a lonely journey. Few would understand, and when lesser minds finally did, they would do their best to steal it and capitalize on it (or suppress it, if it was disruptive – all of Mr. Mentor’s inventions (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) met either fate). Since I was giving it away, I did not suffer from the theft aspect of it, but it was something to see how difficult it was for people to understand, even those who had profited from my innovations in the past.

Similarly, world-class minds have appreciated aspects of my big essay, but none of them can really weigh in on all of it, as it is too far-ranging for them, and the free energy issue blows most of them out of the water. That is where there is no theory that will sway them, but seeing a free energy device (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) for themselves is when it will finally make sense for them. They may have to wait awhile. :) They can appreciate rocket science and Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653), but free energy is just a little too far around the corner for them. I don’t expect many of them to get it until free energy arrives on the scene.

Right now, I am working on my new “key ideas and themes” chapter of my big essay, and am going through that familiar process of accumulating a bunch of ideas, to then see how to put them in the framework that best gets my ideas across. I’ll never top the first version of my big essay, published more than five years ago, as far as an incremental version of my message goes. That got across my main ideas, and for those who can see it, they already got the gist of my message. But, there is still work to do, to make my message a little easier to understand, to take it deeper in some areas and broaden it, so that people don’t need to be world-class geniuses to understand. If that is all that I am going to attract, my effort is going to fail. I can’t be too far ahead of my time on this one, so I do what I can.

Today, I labor in relative obscurity, and that suits me fine. I have time to hone my message, while the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) only have half-an-eye on me (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic). My path has been teaching me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), which my soul decided that it needed, and that has been quite the journey, to put it mildly.

So, I expect that in the coming weeks, I will jiggle my chapter draft in a way that feels right, which gets across my points and helps set the stage for what comes after it. I see significant rework of those early chapters coming.

Best,

Wade

Phylogenomics reveals the evolutionary timing and pattern of butterflies and moths (https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2019/10/15/1907847116)

Moths turned into butterflies to eat nectar, and changed from nocturnal to day time creatures, because flowers are open during daytime.

Its always the energy.

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1320167&viewfull=1#post1320167):

Very interesting paper. Yes, the energy game; always. Just yesterday, I saw this (https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-Holy-Grail-Of-Energy-Is-Finally-Within-Reach.html), on the Holy Grail of Energy being found.

When I think about my energy awareness, in my childhood, my gifted friends and I would spout E = MC2 as a kind of joke on how smart we were (one was Jewish and did look like a young Einstein, and he loved quoting that equation). When I got my first real energy dreams at age 16, in the wake of the hoopla around Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), it was a boy’s dream, and pretty rudimentary. In college, when studying chemistry and biology, energy was dominant in ways, and underplayed in others.

When I wrote my first energy essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm) about 20 years ago, I can see the seed of what came later in it. But it was not until 2003, when I read Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) and the Peak Oilers (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm), that I began thinking about energy in a comprehensive fashion.

But when I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), the energy issue was front-and-center, and even back in 1987, the transformative potential of free energy was pretty clear to me, and this vision (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#can1) was largely formed during my ride with Dennis. My “friends” knew what they were doing, introducing me to him (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), and my wild ride began.

When I think about the beginnings of my big essay, I began studying with the idea of writing something like it in 2007, after my monster of a midlife crisis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife) finally passed. As I performed my studies, even in the sciences, I would see authors remark on how underplayed the energy issue was, such as in Nick Lane’s latest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vital_Question) or in Energy and the Wealth of Nations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil1).

I was taught to read scientific papers in college, but it was not until I began studying for my big essay that I really got into reading them again, as part of my science studies, and I constantly run into the energy issue. When scientists wrote about ecology and evolution, energy was a thread that continually ran through their works. Sometimes it was the dominant theme, and sometimes it was kind of in the background. But it always ranked first, and was only relegated to the background when they discussed secondary or tertiary issues, and energy was kind of assumed as a constant.

When I developed my Epochal concept of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), I had plenty of help from other works (Cook (http://ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#status), Niele (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paradigm)), but took it further, and I don’t see anybody else out there really writing about the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I never really have, and am kind of a voice in the wilderness on that score.

Just as with the other Epochs, the foundation of the Fifth Epoch will be a breakthrough energy practice (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) that taps previously unexploited energy sources. Without that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), the rest can’t happen. No civilization without the energy of agriculture (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran), and no Industrial Revolution without the energy of coal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse), then oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oilwell).

Hi:

Julian Assange made an appearance in Kangaroo Court a few days ago (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/only-cowards-and-sadists-support-the-persecution-of-assange-b717b1b07dfe), looking every bit the torture victim. The former ambassador who attended the farce of a hearing and noted Assange’s deteriorated state is the same person who was one of the early commentators (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/05/the-philip-cross-affair/) on one of Ed’s chief libelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621&viewfull=1#post1621), who is at it to this day (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1913&viewfull=1#post1913), with his clueless and dishonest allies/dupes doing most of the dirty work.

So, libelers get to hide in the shadows and are openly defended by Wikipedia’s co-founder, while those who expose the murderous crimes of empire are tortured in a festive atmosphere. This is who we are, my fellow Westerners. I expect it to get far worse before it gets any better.

The Nazis kind of won. The USA eagerly hired the useful ones after World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#gehlen), and not only swept human experiment programs under the carpet (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#strughold), but in fact replicated parts of them, such as with MKUltra. GITMO is still open for business. The CIA offered Dennis a billion dollars to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) before they lowered the boom on us, and the feds finally ran Dennis out of the country (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) after the Rockefellers once more got involved, in The Land of the Free. This is how our world works, and it will continue to work this way as long as self-service rules (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) the day and people like me are voices in the wilderness and people like Assange are publicly crucified while the mob cheers (read the comments section on any mainstream article on Assange, and you will know what I am referring to).

This is what a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) looks like. It obviously does not need to be this way (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), but it will be this way, and worse, unless a relative few (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) can find that nugget 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) and fan it to life. It won’t take many, but there aren’t many, either. I offer a way out, for those who can do the walk. It nothing else, it eases the conscience, knowing that one might be able to make a dent, more than a dent, actually. :)

Best,

Hi:

Here is another article (https://www.zerohedge.com/political/deep-state-assassinating-julian-assange) on Assange and his slow-motion assassination. Caitlin Johnstone wrote an article (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/we-want-to-keep-the-oil-8fc42d560a95) on Trump’s honesty in admitting that it is all about the oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). I have written for many years on this issue. Rome was far more honest than the USA, as Rome conquered and plundered because it could, and celebrated its thefts. The USA hides behind a veneer of humanitarian intervention (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record) and other lies, which fools nobody but brainwashed Americans (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing).

That first article above refers to the Deep State, and Johnstone’s article describes it. The so-called Deep State is real, it was involved with JFK’s murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean) and many others (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1911&viewfull=1#post1911), but they are also minor leaguers and don’t play at the Global Controller level (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc).

I am approached all the time by people who don’t appreciate the distinction. When the CIA offered Dennis a billion dollars to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), the offer was delivered on behalf of “European interests.” That CIA guy was just an errand boy. I don’t know if those European interests were the GCs or not. We definitely had GC contact (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), and I’ll never know how much, but the FBI and CIA (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#squeaky) were also involved, as well as other agencies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=805&viewfull=1#post805), and FTC employees were the goons who finally ran Dennis out of the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), soon after the Rockefellers got involved again (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888).

In short, there are many levels of the dark path game (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving). It can be just trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), stalkers (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#warning), and libelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1913&viewfull=1#post1913) on the Internet (and the parrots in the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell)), up to spooks (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/115-The-Spooks?p=1257&viewfull=1#post1257) and assassins. It can be as “innocuous” as rigging somebody’s security file (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes) to put them in the shark tank, and let “nature” take its course. There are endless dark path opportunities on Earth, oh the joy! :)

For me, all of the slicing and dicing of who’s who in the dark path zoo is not that interesting, and almost everybody who publicly engages in that activity has never been targeted by the higher levels, and I have seen a lot of naiveté and paranoia in those circles. Focusing on the “bad guys” really is not part of the solution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus). I just treat them like a force of nature and do what I can to not tangle with them and make their jobs easier. I learned my lessons long ago on that score. When Assange played rock star with his groupies, he made their jobs so much easier. We all get what we have coming (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell).

Hi:

Sometime this year, I will have a conversation with Michael Hyson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/79-Introducing-Michael-Hyson?p=168&viewfull=1#post168) and post it to the Internet, perhaps YouTube. We have plenty to discuss, and Michael is opting for audio, not text. For Michael, I’ll do this, and we’ll see where that leads.

One of Michael’s close colleagues was Elizabeth Rauscher (https://elizabethrauscher.org/), who died during the summer. Her home page links to her Wikipedia bio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Rauscher). So, I guess that she was happy with it. She and Michael were/are no strangers to the free energy milieu, and we may discuss some of that.

Like Brian did (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#frontiers), Dr. Rauscher, took a scientist’s approach to the paranormal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Rauscher#Parapsychology), and Michael has many amazing dolphin tales to tell.

It won’t be dull.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I’ll be reporting on the latest book that I am reading (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1319030&viewfull=1#post1319030), and then I have to get cracking on the essay update. I have taken a little time off from it.

In my adult life, I have never heard of a presidential candidate doing what Tulsi Gabbard is doing, and she is becoming a lightning rod because of it (https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/10/18/tulsi-nails-national-tv-us-regime-change-wars/). What is most interesting is how the liberals, not the right wing, turned on her. That is just like what Ed and Noam encountered (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms). It looks like she won’t be invited to any more debates (https://sputniknews.com/us/201910161077058467-tulsi-gabbard-slams-cnn-nyt-at-dem-debate-for-completely-despicable-smears-over-syria-russia/). Her campaign will meet the same fate as Ralph Nader’s did (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#nader).

Snowden recently had an interview (https://bracingviews.com/2019/10/26/edward-snowden-and-turnkey-tyranny/), and it is like Ralph McGehee said long ago, that the American people are the primary target of the lies of the intelligence services (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#intelligence), not foreign enemies. It can seem that my writings on such topics are off-topic to my work (or big time scientists who are not materialists (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/79-Introducing-Michael-Hyson?p=1923&viewfull=1#post1923)), some kind of indulgence, but they are vital to it.

I have seen many free energy activists with a deep naïveté of how our world works. Naïveté is no crime (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), and my fellow travelers with my greatest respect all started out that way, but in the free energy milieu, that naïveté can be suicidal.

Most of those failed paths to free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) have naïveté (and self-servingness (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving)) in common. The theme of the book I am reading is the evolution of the human mind, and how important social learning was to the rise of humanity. Well, that is what a lot of my work is about: helping my readers shorten their learning curves. If everybody had to learn this stuff the hard way, almost nobody would survive the curriculum. It can’t work that way.

The current system is not receptive to genuine innovation where vested interests rule the roost, especially the energy racket (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2)), and the sooner that would-be activists learn that, the better. Their social circles are not going to care (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), their political representatives will do exactly nothing, and if they garner much success, they will be targeted for neutralization (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1911&viewfull=1#post1911). I just may be foolish enough to think that my effort can stay low enough on the radar (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic) until it is too late to stop it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

A topic that is common in my work, and I feel like commenting on it this morning, is how lonely the journey of awakening is. If you wake up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), it is pretty much guaranteed that nobody in your social circles will (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). Those are just the numbers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1).

Unless I become famous for helping initiate the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), it is guaranteed that virtually none of my friends and family will read much of my work. None of my family members have read my bio of Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), and probably none ever will. It just comes with the territory of what I do. Not only will they not read Ed’s bio, but they know that I am not into the TV news and don’t play cheerleader for our wars. I have recently been challenged for my views, as they are called “biased,” by the same people who pay rapt attention to the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC, as I watch them tune in for brainwashing. I understand full well how seductive the experience can be, but it is all conditioning and lies, to keep people in the buying mood (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#advertising). They don’t seem to care, not care enough to actually question what they are seeing and stop parroting it (some are on the MIC payroll, and their biases are normal and mind-numbingly predictable). I am sure that that ex-friend still parrots the evening news (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=823&viewfull=1#post823). Humans are herd animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), and I see that all the time in my society, as people abdicate sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) for security.

In the past several years, it has really been something to witness the demonization of Russia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia), which is an American practice that is more than a century old (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death). I was not alive during the McCarthy era, but it is “interesting” to see the Democrats, of all people, beating the Russian drums. I tuned into a debate between Trump and Hillary, for the entertainment value, and I was surprised to see Hillary sound like McCarthy. If she had been elected, she might have started World War III by now. She is talking about running for president again, and the Dems are trying to impeach Trump over Ukraine, when the Russian angle failed to work. To be a spectator to this insanity is amazing and horrifying to witness.

I stopped watching TV when I was 18 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102), and until these days of adult, streamed, commercial-free TV, other than Star Trek and a few other science fiction shows, I never went back. Because I have never lived alone, I always had people in my home who watched TV, and if I wanted to hang out with them, I watched with them, but never on my own, other than the stray sporting event. That goes back to my grandparents, right after college. Even though I was not radicalized (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#intro) yet, which would come soon, they watched the TV news each night, and I watched with them (and heard about Whoops each night (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#whoops)), and then we watched The Muppet Show. I now know which show was more educational. :)

One reason why I post like do, almost daily, is to help my readers escape the siren song of their conditioning, and stay there. It is so seductive in the comfortable West to go back to sleep. “Who are we bombing this week? It must be for a good cause, fighting those evil terrorists (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#terrorism) and spreading freedom.” The day that Trump bombed Syria for its “chemical weapons attack,” I knew it was a Big Lie, and it is beginning to come out today (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/opcw-losing-credibility-as-even-more-revelations-surface-on-douma-755a0621710b), but don’t count on the media to cover it much.

I have seen the quote, but don’t know its source, so I don’t quote it myself, but Ed once wrote that the American propaganda system really does not have to work very hard to get Americans to cheer any war, like they cheer their favorite football team. That is the current level of American sentience and integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and I get caught in that crossfire myself.

I offer the opportunity to make a dent without risking one’s life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1911&viewfull=1#post1911). Not many takers yet, but my approach will work, if I can find enough of those needles.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

One last post before I go out the door. These days, with the endless attacks on Trump, I see all manner of commentator decry our “liberal” media, even from within the media. If our media was the slightest bit liberal, Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) would be on TV every day. To call our media “liberal” is just one of the innumerable Big Lies that Americans are fed each day. Orwell would be impressed.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

On Ed’s Wikipedia bio, it is not all bad. The gist of his work bleeds through amongst the libel, misrepresentations, and tactical omissions (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751). In those latest misrepresentations (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1913&viewfull=1#post1913), an editor tried to take on (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_S._Herman&diff=921095653&oldid=921094765) Philip Cross’s erasure of “scholarship” to describe Ed’s work (Cross prevailed), and that so-called Indian editor added something that came right out of the New York Times’s obit on Ed, which typically misrepresented his stance (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#nytobit). To be charitable, it is a logical fallacy, known as false alternatives (or false dichotomies (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#false)), which Ed pointed out many times in his work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#time), to characterize the exposure of imperial aggression as support for the programs of the imperial targets. It is probably the most common misrepresentation of Ed’s and Noam’s work.

To show the double-standards that the media uses when covering topics, which was the essence of Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#contribution), does not mean that Ed was supporting the propaganda targets, although Ed always decried bloodshed. He is one of the few lefties that I ever saw who never advocated violence.

So, that “Indian” editor added this to Ed’s bio:


“Herman was a critic of U.S. foreign policy in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War and downplayed the human rights violations committed by the government of Vietnam and the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia after they took power in 1975.”


That other editor removed it as unsourced (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_S._Herman&diff=921183474&oldid=921183328), as it was. However, the New York Times wrote it, so it must be true, so I expect that libel to continually reappear in Ed’s bio, as another Big Lie that gets institutionalized (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia) and never goes away. That editor who removed it is not a committed ax-grinder like Cross (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621#post1621) and “his” merry band are, so is up against it. What I have noticed is that editors like that come and go, but the libelers and trolls that camp on Ed’s bio will keep at it as long as they are able, performing their disinformation work, of which Cross is only the ringleader and likely on somebody’s payroll. The others are amateurs who do most of the dirty work, gratis.

Hi:

Here is a short one about the problems with Boy and Girl Scouts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts). If not server souls (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#role), they play that role in their current lifetimes, and while those are the people I seek, they also have their issues. Basically, in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), people quest after servers, to parasitize them, and will suck them dry if they can before moving on to find another “sucker” to latch onto.

Like all people, they can suffer from psychological projection, thinking that others are motivated like they are, when they are going to be needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). The ones that I seek have to have already been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) and have put their naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) behind them or are on their way to it. We all start out that way. They have to develop a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), otherwise, they will spend their lives hacking at branches. Even then, they are always being dragged away to bail people out, pick up the pieces of shattered lives, and the rest of what people encounter on their journeys.

Those Boy and Girl Scouts are the noblest fraction of humanity, and in order to be helpful for the big task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), they need to learn how to marshal their energies, so that they are not drained on stuff that makes no difference in the big picture. Feeding the poor, taking in orphans and the homeless, and so on, - I have seen it all, and they will disappear from my effort for a time to go earn more heaven points, as their consciences won’t let them turn away. I patiently await their return, and they often don’t, as they get sucked into the drama of their lives. I bailed out all of my immediate family members, and at great personal cost at times, and my “reward” was being attacked and disowned, every time. That is just how it works in the real world.

It is not an easy dance, and I am constantly juggling the demands of my life, with people tearing at me from all directions. It just comes with the territory, and people have to learn how to prioritize their energies if they are going to be useful for an effort like mine.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I’ll finish that book that I am reading (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page3?p=1924&viewfull=1#post1924) soon, and will report on it. But one preview item is that in the five years since I first published my big essay, I have seen several pieces of new evidence support Wrangham’s cooking hypothesis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking), or evidence that Wrangham controversially cited is now commonly accepted to support an early date of cooking, and hence, fire control (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1).

In the book I am reading, it puts the advent of cooking at more than two million years ago because of a gene that was lost in the human line (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYH16_gene), which helps grow strong jaw muscles. The obvious inference was that the gene was lost when the human-line’s food got softer. Wrangham wrote about it in his Catching Fire, and he was a co-author of a paper regarding it (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4860691/), but his name was not mentioned in the book I am reading.

Wrangham took a beating in scientific circles when he first proposed his cooking hypothesis a generation ago, but he has been increasingly vindicated ever since. The book I am reading supports the idea, as do other works, that there was a runaway effect in brain growth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain), with a number of factors converging (such as a shrinking gut and ground-sleeping), beginning in earnest with the appearance of Homo erectus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus), and even a bit earlier, with Homo habilis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_habilis#Morphology), which had a markedly larger brain than what australopiths (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#biped) possessed. Stone tools and cooking provided foods previously unattainable, the increasing brain size was fueled by those new diets, and that growing brain was used for new tasks. That book I am reading makes the case that the most important early use of that growing brain was the development of language, which was used to teach relatives new skills, such as cooperative foraging, hunting, and tool-making. The toolset of Homo erectus reflects obvious craftsmanship (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#acheulean), and it is highly plausible that the development of at least a protolanguage would have been required to establish that craftsmanship tradition that lasted for more than one million years.

Kind of a bonus finding was that handedness developed during that trajectory to Homo sapiens. Two million years ago, only about half of stone tool makers were right-handed, but by the time of Neanderthals, they were 80-90%. This is considered to be an effect of teaching, as the pupil emulated the teacher for the fine work of making stone and other tools. This is one of many examples in that book of how culture impacted evolution. Nurture became nature, as culture and genes interacted and growing brains were used for new tasks.

Darwin wrote long ago that humanity’s two greatest achievements were the development of language and the control of fire, and in the nearly 150 years since his The Descent of Man appeared on the scene, he has been increasingly vindicated on that idea. Both achievements led to the arrival of Homo sapiens on the evolutionary scene. Everything that we see today in our “advanced” societies only builds on a foundation established millions of years ago. The human animal has changed very little since that Founder Group left Africa and conquered Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit). We have only enjoyed a “ratchet effect” by inventing new energy regimes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) along the way, which enabled the increase in humanity’s collective knowledge, skillset, and tools. Writing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing) is merely a learning tool, an incremental improvement (in ways) over oral/demonstrative instruction, and in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), it may well become obsolete, as it seems to have in this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748).

Hi:

I recently wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1922&viewfull=1#post1922) about how Trump’s candor has been refreshing, admitting that it is all about the oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). Well, Syria’s President Assad just came out and also called Trump the best American president ever (https://www.zerohedge.com/political/assad-calls-trump-best-us-president-ever-not-concealing-reality-us-action-abroad), for his naked statement of American motivation. No hiding behind the fake “human rights and democracy (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection)” rhetoric of our gangster presidents, going all the way back to George Washington (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint).

I recently wrote about Hillary’s Joe McCarthy impression (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1925&viewfull=1#post1925), and I heard her call Trump a Putin puppet just the other day. That was the first presidential debate that I watched since Ross Perot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Perot#1992_presidential_campaign). The problem with Perot and Trump is that they were/are not professional politicians and can go off-script. During the 1992 debates, there was a famous incident when Perot stated that American foreign policy was about defending the interests of American capitalism. Bill Clinton was visibly surprised by Perot’s honest statement, and tried steering the issue back to the high-minded rhetoric about human rights, etc., and when he was president, Clinton milked human rights rhetoric for all it was worth (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#effects), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#clinton)), like Obama did (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya). Republican presidents are actually more honest than the Democratic ones, as they come from the business ranks or are script-reading clowns, like Reagan (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#reagan) and Bush the Second (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc). Clinton and Obama were far more suave and deceptive. Hillary is a psychopath (https://www.globalresearch.ca/hillarys-war-crime-the-murder-of-muammar-gaddafi-we-came-we-saw-he-died/5552094) who would have probably started World War III by now. How about the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), instead? :)

Congratulations Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1321852&viewfull=1#post1321852):

Yes, projects like that can take a while. :)

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), there won’t be copyrights, patents, and the rest of those kinds of intellectual protections. Nobody is going to care anymore.

Marx may have been the first writer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy#Marxism) to argue for what is today called a “post-scarcity” society, and Stallman is his counterpart in the IT world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy#Digital_abundance). As you know, Stallman can’t quite get his head wrapped around a truly abundant society (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130), and Marx was into coercion to achieve his ideal, in typical Young Warrior (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors) fashion.

Any truly abundant society is going be based on energy abundance, but Marx wrote his works before the rise of energy science, and even today, the role of energy is not well understood, even among scientists (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page3?p=1916&viewfull=1#post1916) and especially economists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists).

I am getting close to finishing my latest book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page3?p=1929&viewfull=1#post1929), and just finished the author’s chapter on the Domestication Revolution. He had some interesting takes, used very different sources from what I have used, and did not seem to be all that well read on the topic, but even he concluded that domestication prevailed over the hunter-gatherer lifestyle because it increased the human carrying capacity on Earth by orders of magnitude. That is a pure energy issue, and everything else truly was noise.

While the work of Sen and Drèze seems nobly intended, in the Fifth Epoch, such efforts and concerns will become obsolete, similar to the end of copyrights. I am surrounded by programmers in my life. They are the engineers and auto mechanics of the 21st century, and I am just finishing a book (https://www.amazon.com/Go-Steve-Lohr/dp/0465042260) that a programmer relative loaned me to read, on the software revolution, from the beginning to 2001, when the book was published. The last chapter focuses on Stallman and his merry band. I’ll be discussing that book with my relative soon.

In my BASIC class in college, we programmed with punched cards. I began programming more than 40 years ago, how time flies. My nephew is in town (I’ll take him hiking this morning), for a chess tournament at Amazon yesterday, where he beat some Microsoft guys and got his résumé passed around, as he nears his computer science/math degree. It has been interesting to see the changes in my lifetime, but the basics will never change. We don’t solve the energy issue, and pronto, and the rest won’t matter. Just the other day, I was watching Bill Gates ridicule the Wall Street solutions to Global Warming (https://www.climatedepot.com/2019/05/28/bill-gates-downplays-renewable-energy-do-you-guys-on-wall-street-have-something-in-your-desks-that-makes-steel-where-is-fertilizer-cement-plastic-going-to-come-from/) and such (and I agree, that it was like watching Woody Allen :) ). For all of Gates’s limitations, and they are legion (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates), at least he understands that energy is the ballgame, and everything else is noise.

Marx may have been the first writer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy#Marxism) to argue for what is today called a “post-scarcity” society, and Stallman is his counterpart in the IT world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy#Digital_abundance). As you know, Stallman can’t quite get his head wrapped around a truly abundant society (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130), and Marx was into coercion to achieve his ideal, in typical Young Warrior (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors) fashion.


Stallman for all his faults never advocated violence. Sure he writes about politics, the free software movement is a social and political movement. His effort went into creating alternatives to what he considered immoral and had enormous effect, Linux, cough cough Wikipedia, Open Access of academic resources, he even had an idea for Free Encyclopedia (https://www.gnu.org/encyclopedia/free-encyclopedia.html).

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1321915&viewfull=1#post1321915):

Believe me, if Stallman had ever come across as some violent revolutionary, he would have never heard from me. That part of his stance is not Marxist. I meant that he argues for a post-scarcity world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy#Digital_abundance). Not many do, and not practically. Marx’s post-scarcity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy#Marxism) vision was based on machines’ replacing people for manufacturing, and Stallman’s is more software-oriented, obviously. But any post-scarcity vision is not workable if there is energy scarcity. Even that Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy) kind of gets it.

Unlike almost all other post-scarcity advocates, Stallman actually lived it, and for that, he gets high marks. That is why he heard from me, and why I spent a month banging my head against his scarcity-based walls before giving up. In a way, he epitomizes the blindness of the Left, and is a classic Level 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3). If even he can’t get over his conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), it is not going to be easy for anybody, and that has been my experience. My little free energy circle is a small one, and we all woke up the hard way, but it shook us free of the chains that shackle Stallman’s mind and spirit, for instance. I never got anywhere with anybody in the Left on free energy, other than a polite brush-off from Noam. I was never able to get anywhere with Ed. I have heard back from most of Ed’s pals, and not one of them was interested in my free energy work. I was not expecting it, but that is typical.

When I have encountered authors imagining their own versions of post-scarcity societies, they always fall short of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) and, quite frankly, it is very difficult to imagine from here, as imagining any future Epoch (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) is. Jumping straight into one of those worlds (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) and looking around can deliver the gist of it. What I have noticed is that virtually all post-scarcity authors still drag around the baggage of our Epoch with them, and can’t really let go of it. None of them have really been radicalized yet. Take a journey like mine, Dennis’s, Brian’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), and the like, and you get radicalized and will never see the world the same way, but even Dennis dragged around plenty of his agrarian baggage (his religion, for instance). As I have stated plenty, without my wild ride (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), I would likely not have anything worth saying. My past 30 years of study are trivial compared to what I learned from my adventures.

Hi:

Before I begin a long week, the previous posts on Stallman (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page3?p=1931&viewfull=1#post1931), etc., only highlight the difficulty of my task. Even so-called visionaries in our world are firmly stuck in their conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and the “smartest” are often the most stuck of all (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3).

I have witnessed that innumerable times, and I had to eventually admit that they were all addicted to scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), even those who advocate what they think of as abundance. Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity2) helped me finally articulate what I was seeing.

My choir qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity2) will never change much. They weren’t something that I just dreamed up one day, but were the result of thousands of interactions over many years. Even for the few who care (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), they almost never jettison all of their baggage, but drag around at least some of it, and that is the anchor that gets them stuck, although it provides them comfort. Waking up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) and staying there is not easy, as the siren song of our conditioning constantly plays.

Best,

Wade

The social hypothesis for big brain is wrong.

Its always about energy.

Fruits allowed primates to evolve big brains, density of food allowed for groups.

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1322074&viewfull=1#post1322074):

I didn’t buy the paper, but read the press release (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/11/191104112811.htm). Interesting and timely. I finished Darwin’s Unfinished Symphony (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1319030&viewfull=1#post1319030) over the weekend. If nothing else, that finding supports de Waal’s contention (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1870&viewfull=1#post1870) that chimp social intelligence is equal to humanity’s.

For me, one of the most interesting questions of human evolution is how and why the human line’s brain grew like it did (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain). My essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447) will have plenty more on that topic. Suzana’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/24-Chapter-17-Humanity%C2%92s-First-Epochal-Event-Growing-our-Brains-and-Controlling-Fire?p=1074&viewfull=1#post1074) is important on that score, and Darwin’s Unfinished Symphony explored that question. Growing the human-line’s brain was an energy event, and the author of Darwin’s Unfinished Symphony, Kevin Laland, made the case that there were positive feedbacks that led to runaway conditions of brain growth. Nothing like that brain growth has been seen before in the history of life on Earth.

One concept of evolution is that an innovation, especially a costly one like a growing brain, which is a huge energy hog, had to provide immediate benefit to its owner, or else it would not have evolved. Laland’s hypothesis is that the growing human brain was linked with new behaviors that provided more energy (fires, tools, the development of language), which required more brainpower but paid for themselves by acquiring more food; and not just more food, but higher-quality food, such as meat and food that had been predigested by cooking.

As an aside, Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) is prominent in Laland’s book, as one of its central concerns was the development of language, which, with the control of fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), Darwin considered humanity’s two greatest achievements. Laland presented a framework that had several features in it, which explained why language would have developed, and one of which was, again, that it had to have immediate benefit, even in its most rudimentary form. Laland’s hypothesis is that language developed as a way for parents to teach complex skills to their offspring, such as increasingly complex methods of food acquisition and processing, including the making of stone tools. Acheulean tools (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#acheulean) are the first ones in the human journey to show obvious craftsmanship, which meant social learning. Stone tools have been discovered that are more than three million years old (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1), which was about the same time that the human line’s brain began its runaway growth.

So, social navigation may not be the stimulus for the runaway brain growth, but social learning may be. Of course, it centered on the energy issue, as usual. It was definitely an energy event above all else, and human evolution was inextricably wrapped up in it.

This entire area is a fascinating one and, for me, it goes back a lot further, to the appearance of mammals on the evolutionary scene (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsdevelop). Mammals had relatively large brains from the beginning. The thinking today is that they needed larger brains for their larger sensory needs. They were marginal creatures from the beginning, losing out to their reptilian cousins, and lived a nocturnal and marginal life during the entire reign of archosaurs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lystrosaurus1). They had to survive on brains, not brawn, and that braininess indeed took on new importance for primates (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#primate1), which subsisted on fruit and lived in the tropical canopy.

During the cooling and drying Oligocene (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oligocene), some marginal monkeys (which themselves evolved (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#monkeys) during the greatest cooling period in the past 250 million years) left the canopy and became apes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proconsul). Ground-dwelling apes lost their adaptations to the canopy, such as tails, and became bigger. Their brains grew too, but not as much as their brawn, which Suzana’s work supported.

But even if humans are “merely” linearly scaled monkeys, brain-wise, losing their brawn and growing their brains was a major evolutionary event. Humans are a hyper-social species, and our growing sociality was very likely intimately entwined with our growing brains, even if it was just social learning and the development of language to facilitate it.

Again, this is one of the more fascinating subjects in human evolution, and a consensus seems to be developing on this issue. Positive feedbacks between energy acquisition, brain growth, and using those growing brains for ever-more sophisticated tools and social behaviors (group foraging, hunting, controlling fire, and the related teaching, which included the development of language), likely led to the runaway conditions that resulted in behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap).

The human line’s evolution was originally just like other animals, as it slowly moved along with environmental adaptation. Then, with the rising brain and new cultural behaviors, there was a symbiosis between genetic and cultural change, as one impacted the other (they co-evolved). Human evolution has been greatly accelerated since we became behaviorally modern, and the different races are part of that evolution, and maybe Ashkenazi Jews (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jewish) are a lot smarter than Australian aborigines, at least with the “intelligence” that we prize so much, but they aren’t different species. Far from it. The differences between the most and least “intelligent” people on Earth are trivial compared to the gulf that separates humans and chimps, for instance.

Today, cultural change in humanity has far outstripped biological evolution, as human cultures dramatically evolve through the Epochs. The greatest evolutionary changes happened before humans became behaviorally modern, and the changes since we became behaviorally modern have mostly been cultural, which has been all about increasing energy capture (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) being put to new uses, such as new tools, new social organization, and new ideas, which has accelerated in the past several centuries, particularly with the rise of Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal35). Laland was refreshingly frank that all of those human “advances” are also making Earth uninhabitable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and drove Earth’s easy meat to extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), as humanity conquered Earth. With all of those “advances,” the question of whether humanity is really a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) is a fair one. Will the trend of increasing “intelligence” correct itself, as humanity drives itself to extinction, or will we finally become truly sentient? Stay tuned. That question may well be answered in this century (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth).

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), if we get there, geographic and genetic isolation will end, as will races and nations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), and everybody’s IQ will be in what we call the genius range today. It is not too hard to foresee that outcome, but, as usual, it will depend on the energy issue.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I have been working on my essay update, and have largely finished drafting those new early chapters, although I am sure that they will receive plenty of revision before I publish my essay update.

I always have the audience that I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) in mind when I write, and I step back at times and critically review my efforts, to see how close I am to realizing my vision. An artist’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading) work is never done, but I have not really revised the essays on my site much after I originally published them. To be sure, over the past 20 years, my work has become more comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), and it has been reflected in my revisions, but they really only broadened and deepened the material, and strengthened their connections to the rest of my work, not change their thrust. Western medicine is a racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm), the media is a propaganda factory (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), the global elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) rule because the mass of humanity has abdicated their responsibility (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), free energy and antigravity technology are on the planet today (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), the spooks do what spooks do (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/115-The-Spooks), etc (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets). In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), I don’t expect that any of that will change much.

If I had to trace my idea of a choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), in a way, it goes back to the beginning of my writing efforts, going back to 1991. I still had interaction (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#steal) and a short stint with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=803&viewfull=1#post803) ahead of me, but I was pretty much done thinking that the businessman’s path had much of a chance (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=710&viewfull=1#post710) in 1988, and after my second stint with Dennis, I was certain that it would not work, for all of Dennis’s heroic efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jones), which people have to see to believe.

Treating my audience fairly and keeping them safe have always been my primary goals, and to present my material as honestly as I could. I operate under the constraints that people in this line of work do, as I can’t name all of the names that I could, and have generally had to wait until people were dead (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page14?p=1491&viewfull=1#post1491)). Many of the names are readily publicly available, and Dennis’s books, particularly his The Alternative (https://www.amazon.com/Alternative-Dennis-M-Lee/dp/0964406802/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386158733&sr=1-3), provide plenty of names, but I have not made it too easy for the idly curious and naive (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#curious), who can easily get into trouble in this milieu, in many ways.

I put plenty of meat on the bones of Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#half), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#arizona), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#testify)), Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), Dennis’s ingenious and benevolent marketing plans (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs), Brian’s odyssey (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), and other unassailable facts, so that the people I seek have plenty to chew on. My adventures with Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) is the small stuff, but work like Ed’s serves to flesh out the big picture of how our world really works and how to change it for the better. I offer the opportunity to help support the biggest leverage point on Earth, by far, and do it in a way where people are not risking their lives. And I do it all for free.

The opportunity is there, for those with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) and willing to do the work, and if they have the right stuff, they will do the work. I can’t afford to aim low with some kind of lowest-common-denominator approach, trying the short-cuts (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). I have seen where those go (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). I have to aim high.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Some odds and ends…

Caitlin Johnstone wrote an excellent article (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/11/04/the-incredible-shrinking-overton-window/) on Noam and Ed’s observation on how the spectrum of debate is limited in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#beauty).

Wikipedia’s propaganda methods are drawing more attention (http://www.unz.com/chopkins/the-ministry-of-wiki-truth/), and see how the ubiquitous Philip Cross (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621#post1621) joined that party, too.

I am buying this book (https://www.amazon.com/American-Conspiracies-Cover-ups-Interviews-Chomsky/dp/1510742972/ref=sr_1_1?crid=RPXT7JHL0G4U&keywords=american+conspiracies+and+cover-ups&qid=1555685932&s=gateway&sprefix=American+conspiracies+and+covers%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-1), and here (https://off-guardian.org/2019/11/03/american-conspiracies-cover-ups/) is a sample of it. It is obviously very familiar territory for me (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm), and we’ll see what I learn from it. Noam is interviewed in it, and he does not go in for conspiracies much (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page2?p=225&viewfull=1#post225), but is more into structural models like Ed’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing). As I have long written, organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) is around 90% structural in nature (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=722&viewfull=1#post722).

Yesterday, I wrote about how I treat my audience (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page2?p=1935&viewfull=1#post1935). My work is not for the faint of heart, and I have watched many heads explode over my work, such as this section (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress). It has the effect of chasing off readers who should not be there, which is one of my goals. I am no longer subjected to troll-swarms (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), so I have found a situation that works for both me and the people I seek. Most of my pals lurk in the shadows, helping out but avoiding the spotlight, content to let me have the stage and catch the flak.

But I am also racing against time, on a few fronts. Heading off the catastrophe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) is a primary goal, but helping usher in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) tops it. Writing my big essay was a feat and what I may become best-known for, and I feel a lot of pressure to get the update done and a likely book to follow it, while I can still do it. I am juggling an insane amount of information to do that, and time is running out for my brain. My father has dementia, my mother had it, as did her mother, and losing my mind is my greatest fear. I don’t want to be here if that happens.

The good news is that I am on a mission to lose weight and keep entropy at bay a while longer, and my career is very intellectually demanding, which keeps the brain working hard. If I can do what Ed, Noam, and Howard did, keeping the pedal to the metal to the end, I’ll take it, but the years are definitely taking their toll. We’ll see how long I can keep it up.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Here is a brief addendum to recent posts. When free energy newcomers rush out to tell their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) the “good news” of free energy, I always try to dissuade them from that, and the best of them come back to me, chastened by the experience. They find out that nobody wants to hear about it, and worse, they risk being ostracized, and careers have ended due to that kind of proselytizing.

I try to dissuade them because I have been down that path a thousand times myself. When I discuss it with people, I am not describing a book I read, a clever YouTube video that I saw, and the like; I am describing events that I participated in (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), which I have richly documented in my work. And I don’t indiscriminately tell anybody within listening range, but am very careful about whom I discuss that information with. With professional colleagues, I generally only do it with those who have seen me in action and respect my professional abilities, and I usually do it on their last day on the job where I work. It was the very rare event when they were really interested and risked having their worldview changed. The best reactions that I get are that they understand what I encountered, don’t doubt the reality of it, and are happy that I learned it the hard way instead of them. They respect my journey, but are not about to get involved in anything like it. They just hope to die before it really hits the fan. That is about the best reaction that I get. The rest are levels of indifference and denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), and I have watched people embrace certain death (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#doom) over giving me the benefit of their doubt, which is solely based on the brainwashing (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing) that they have received. You have to see it to believe it.

Those reactions were only variations 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). In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), people just don’t care about anything outside of their immediate self-interest. They can extend their caring to their family and social circles, and there are evolutionary reasons for that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason), but to actually raise their awareness to the big picture of what is happening on Earth today, and being willing to even entertain the idea that it can be different (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), is far beyond where more than 99% of humanity is today. Those are just the numbers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), numbers that I discovered the hard way. Of course, that grim realization flies in the face of what the political class and activists want to hear, and you will see a million ways that so-called activists hack at branches, or how the political class in the USA is entranced by the political theater happening today, which amounts to exactly nothing in the big picture. The people who really run the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) don’t even care who the American president is. They are all puppets that operate several levels down the food chain (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186).

These days, I regularly read about some Global Warming protest, or how the best and brightest are trying their best to solve our energy issues, and I can only shake my head at it. Not one of them has the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) to help right the ship. The people that I seek are far less than one-in-a-thousand in the general population, and if I can’t find them or even get much interest from anybody, with my undeniable credentials, which chance do free energy newbies have, who rush out to proselytize to their social circles? My layers of the free energy onion (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart) were developed over thousands of reactions over many years.

There are not any short-cuts for this (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), but beginners constantly seek them, looking for the “philanthropist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy)” who will cut the big check, the “angels” at the Pentagon (I am not kidding (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1) – I have literally witnessed that, and I spoke at Department of Energy hearings (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull) myself), and so on. This is going to be a long slog, and if I am very fortunate, I will live to see humanity turn away from the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), but I am not counting on it. This path has been teaching me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). For now, the people I seek just need to learn to hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). That shouldn’t be too hard, right? :)

I have read your posts for years, amazing, such accurate recall, great references. A great talent. Thank you into the future.

[Wade Frazier]

Thanks for being out there, avid (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1322697&viewfull=1#post1322697). Lots of my pals lurk in the background, and those who quietly digest this material are helping raise the vibe.

I’ll keep doing this as long as I can, and just might help make a dent. :)

Hi:

I have written about it before (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page2?p=1315&viewfull=1#post1315), that I do what I can to help my readers and pupils move into the awareness that free energy and other exotic technologies are already on the planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and what their transformative effects (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) can be. I hand out homework (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/125-The-Journey-from-Unawareness-to-Knowledge?p=1574&viewfull=1#post1574), I list the qualities that I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), I try to make my journey and those of my fellow travelers as real as I can. It is not the view that you can get from the library, cubicle, or YouTube videos.

I can appreciate how difficult it is for people who have never traveled any of that ground to get where they need to be, if they are going to be useful for an effort like mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). How can I relate that voice in my head (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3), my radicalizing day on the witness stand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681) and other awakening moments (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why), my epic note-trading session with Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky), sitting in Owen’s study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1656&viewfull=1#post1656), hearing about my spook relative’s secret life (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia) from his wife, who knew more than she was supposed to, hearing about elite plans to terraform Mars (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars) (from people close to them) as their ultimate survival enclave, listening to the awe in Mr. Advisor’s voice as he described watching Sparky’s device work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), listening to my close friend describe his underground technology show, which he was kidnapped for (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173)?

I can only help so much. People have to have had their own awakening experiences (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), first. I can’t wake them up; they have to come to me already awakened. I don’t recommend awakening to work like mine. Heads can explode, and that is never my intention, but that is what can happen when unawakened people encounter my work. The people I seek have to already be traveling that path from unawareness to knowledge (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/125-The-Journey-from-Unawareness-to-Knowledge?p=1456&viewfull=1#post1456). Such fruits never fall in our laps, but must be pursued. Those trees have to be climbed, etc. The siren song of our conditioning constantly plays in all societies, but it is quite pronounced in the West, as brainwashing the public (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing) is a key function of our media and indoctrination (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) systems, and in ways that not even Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) suspected.

When I meet with my pupils, I give them many details that I am not at liberty to publicly disclose these days, as I try to help them over that threshold of doubt. The documentary trail alone is a rich one, much richer than what I publicly disclose (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier), for those who do the work. But there is nothing like being there. However, for those far enough along the path, I can help them vicariously get a little more data, to help them see the big picture of what is happening on this planet today. And these are people who have been doing the work. The rest of humanity will only begin to awaken when free energy is delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). They aren’t going to awaken with anything less, and that is normal. I seek the freaks (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts). :)

There are a few more details to relate on my note-trading session with Brian. He discussed some of Mark’s journey (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), and it was very familiar territory for me, in ways that I can’t publicly discuss and may never be at liberty to. The first time that I heard about a global cartel (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), as something other than a conspiracist construct, was from Brian that day, as he discussed his pal Jon Rappoport’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#rappoport). It made perfect sense, given my adventures, and a few years later, I heard Greer’s description of the same group (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal). I had read conspiracist literature since before the raid (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page4?p=662&viewfull=1#post662), but I did not trust a lot of it, as the evidence could be thin and circumstantial, and conspiracists tend to grind paranoid axes (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). So, the idea of a global cabal was not entirely new to me, but to hear about it from people close to me, who had encounters with it, brought it to a new level of reality, and what I encountered on my wild ride with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601) began to make a lot more sense. We were definitely a threat that had to be dealt with (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), and the so-called Black Hats and White Hats (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#white) became undeniably involved (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623) within weeks of my becoming Dennis’s partner, were likely involved in the Seattle events (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mormon), and I am on their radar (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic) today, although likely low on it.

When I began hearing tales from those close to me, of their encounters with the world’s power structure, it began making far more sense to me. But if I had not been awakened by my own journey, I would have probably put it on the mental shelf of “interesting; maybe true, but maybe not.” The people that I seek can’t leave their awareness there, but have to get over that hump. But it also takes great discrimination. There is a ton of conspiracist chaff and disinformation out there, and I am constantly approached by people under that sway, unable or unwilling to sift the wheat from the chaff. This journey is anything but easy.

Hi:

There was another recent “what a surprise” moment in unearthing evidence of the human journey. I have long written about it, that the elephant family was the most successful land mammal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elephantsuccess) until the rise of humans. Both evolved in Africa, and were both very successful when they left it. The elephant family beat the human line to the Americas by more than 16 million years. The Western Hemisphere had several species of elephant-family members, including mammoths. They thrived in every environment that they could live in, from pole-to-pole and ocean-to-ocean. They are one of the smartest animals, they have a prehensile trunk – quite a manipulative asset – and they were so large that they had no effective predators. They were also opportunistic feeders that thrived throughout our recent ice age, and they suddenly went extinct soon after humans arrived, just when the most recent glacial period (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceageeurope1) was ending, so conditions became even more favorable for the elephant family, but the climate change hypothesis is continually invoked to explain their sudden and complete demise, and for our cousin human species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal), too.

The myth of the peaceful, non-hunting savage is an enticing and enduring one, but is a false one. My essay update will go a bit deeper on those topics. Humans happily slaughtered all the easy meat that they could, and slaughtered all competing species, including our cousin human species. People are reluctant to admit it, however, so we have a great deal of ink spilt on the idea that humans are naturally peaceful and would not hunt animals to extinction, and couldn’t, even if they tried.

But the elephant family suddenly went extinct, throughout the entire Western Hemisphere, soon after the greatest predator in Earth’s history arrived, but those events were a coincidence. There are still factions of scientists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange2) who make the case that humans had nothing to do with the megafauna extinctions or that their impact was modest. I see that as little more than in-group defense (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) in the guise of science. Members of the elephant family were the mother lode of hunters (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi), and you would have to have quite a set of blinders on to think that those two events were unrelated. That can also be argued to be from the tunnel vision of specialists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#specialists). The global pattern is painfully obvious: wherever behaviorally modern people appeared in the past 50,000 years, the easy meat quickly went extinct.

So, in Mexico, a mammoth kill pit was just unearthed (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/07/mammoth-trap-mexico-prehistoric-hunting-pits). It is causing scientists to think that humans may have hunted mammoths after all. Imagine that. In the kill pit were also horses and camels, both of which evolved in North America (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#camel), which thrived for more 40 million years, to suddenly go extinct soon after humans arrived, but climate change did them in. It is a cousin to thinking that the USA exports freedom and democracy (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection).

When humans left Africa and began conquering Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit), it didn’t matter what the climate did: all the easy meat was doomed. The Golden Age of the Hunter Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer) was a short one. Then it was back to tough times, and it became violent, very violent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hobbes), as humans became territorial again, as they filled up the planet. This is not hard to understand, but there is great resistance in many corners to those ideas. With the discovery of the mammoth kill pit, another leg of the resistance gets kicked out from under it.

Hi:

A UN official just issued a warning (https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/11/08/un-envoys-grim-warning-over-assanges-life/) that Assange risks death under the conditions of his imprisonment. That article pointed out the awesome hypocrisy that a “whistleblower (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1897&viewfull=1#post1897)” is being lionized in the American media today, when the “whistleblower” is a spook just doing his job. Real whistleblowers are crucified (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731). In these neo-Orwellian times, it is no surprise that the very term “whistleblower” would be turned on its head by the media. Ed would have a field day with this. Beyond hypocrisy (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#society), indeed. Assange’s treatment is not far from Milosevic’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#simons). Here is another astute article (https://www.rutherford.org/publications_resources/john_whiteheads_commentary/a_new_kind_of_tyranny_the_global_states_war_on_those_who_speak_truth_to_power) on what Assange’s crucifixion means to the West, as the pretense of press freedom is being openly abandoned.

Noam and Ed regularly noted that what the USA and its little buddies in the West accomplished in genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1), violating human rights (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record), and the like, while portraying them as missions to spread freedom (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection) and benevolence, and getting the public to swallow it, far exceeded anything that any totalitarian regime ever accomplished, similar to the censorship of Twain (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#twain) and Orwell (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#orwell). It is a surreal time to be alive.

Hi:

Well, the world’s largest mountain glacier has now started to retreat (https://www.livescience.com/taku-glacier-sudden-retreat.html), just like every other glacier on Earth, but there is still all manner of Global Warming “skeptic (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics?p=463&viewfull=1#post463)” out there, and the media has had a tradition of giving them equal coverage to nearly 100% of the world’s climate scientists, who not only don’t doubt that Global Warming is real, but that human activities are responsible for it. It is another one of those “Duh!” moments, when reality trumps ideology (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797) (and/or scientific illiteracy) for those with eyes to see.

Hi:

On a lighter note, the hiking never stops, and took my wife out for a little hiking this morning. Even with the weather being drizzly, it is still magical, attached. We saw one person on our hike.

My wife is a cat person, so we have had cats for most of our marriage (if we live another 20 years, we will have had cats for about 44 of the 50 years that we will have been married by then). I don’t let them into my study often, as they can turn my computer off, among other mischief, and attached is a pic over the summer of them playing in my office.

Last year, I took my niece hiking, and when she asked about some hiking dangers, I told her that bears and cougars were really not risks here, with the last fatal attacks in our state about a century ago, and then a fatal cougar attack happened a few weeks later (https://komonews.com/news/local/victim-killed-in-cougar-attack-near-north-bend-idd), only a few miles from where we were hiking. So, I finally got some pepper spray, which I pray that I never use.

My parents were born and raised in Bellingham, and some close friends retired there nearly 20 years ago. Two of our cats are buried under a tree on their land, which is several idyllic acres in the hinterland, not far from where my father was born. Attached is a picture from their neighborhood. That cougar is “serenading” them at night, and the wife does not want her husband to do his training runs now. Cougars instinctually chase runners. For most fatal cougar attacks that I have been aware of in recent years, such as in California and Colorado, it was a runner or bicyclist that was attacked. Big, slow hikers like me are likely not attractive prey – the perks of being big, slow, and fat. :)

We get a bobcat in our yard (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page10?p=1144&viewfull=1#post1144), but having a cougar in your yard tops that. :)

Best,

Wade

[Franny]

They got a nice cougar picture Wade, and in the daylight too! Best wishes for not encountering it without a nice, solid barrier between the two of you.

I have few of my own cougar stories. In the 1980s I lived at the end of a 1.5 mile dirt road in the mountains that was not snow plowed in the winter. I had to park my car on the side of the main road and walk home. If I wanted to go out that night I would walk out, take the car, and walk back home when I returned from my activity.

Late one night when I was walking back home by the light of the moon I noticed, to my consternation, that there were cougar tracks following my outward bound tracks. Although there were signs of the cougar before and after this, happily, I never saw the cougar itself.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Franny (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1323005&viewfull=1#post1323005):

Stalked by a cougar, how fun! :)

Once, while off-trail, way out there, scrambling across a mountainside, I encountered cat tracks at a watering hole. Probably cougar. Once, while driving down a logging road, in my rearview mirror, a big cat crossed the road behind me. Maybe a cougar. That is it, for me and big cats. A cougar attack is more likely than a bear attack in Washington, although a big guy like me, lumbering along, is not a tempting target for a cougar, fortunately.

I keep my wife and niece close while I hike with them, so that I can come to the rescue if needed, but the odds of something like a cougar attack are very small. About 99% of the people who die in these mountains die of falls, drowning, and getting lost and dying of exposure. That cougar attack death last year was the first in this state in nearly a century, and the last bear attack death was about a century ago.

I have seen lots of bear sign (tracks, piles) over the years, and had several encounters. Once, we were nearly charged by a mother bear, as we nearly came between her and her cub, but if you keep a respectful distance, they leave you alone. The bigger risk is having your food on a backpack stolen by bears. That happened to a pal once, but I have never come close to having that happen. Some of our world is still wild. In this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), I don’t know if “wild” describes it. It is something far different from this one, or our past, I would wager.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

This is far from complete, but it is a good start on a new early chapter in the essay update. I can't reproduce the links in forum software, but I reproduced a little of the formatting, to make it a little easier to read. This should give a good idea of what I have been working on. I am now going to start my revisions of existing chapters, beginning with the beginnings of warfare, domestication, and civilization.

This Essay’s Key Ideas and Themes

This essay presents many ideas that are important for understanding its themes, and key ones follow.

The forces. Mainstream physics currently recognizes four forces in our universe:

The strong and weak forces, which govern the primary dynamics within atoms;
Electromagnetic force, which arises from the interaction of electrically charged particles;
Gravity is the attraction of all objects in our universe to each other.


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. What we call light (photons) is electromagnetic radiation. The forces create what are called “fields,” such as Earth’s gravitational field. In theory, Earth’s gravitational field (and your body’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 the objects in them. Einstein once said, as a kind of a joke, that if you removed the objects from our universe, space and time would go with them.

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 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 (which means that we don’t know what mass is, either), and the last years of Einstein’s life were spent in pursuit of the Unified Field, which would unite the four accepted forces into one framework.

Other energy concepts used in this essay include the ideas presented below.


Temperature is a concept relating to lateral molecular movement. The more movement per unit of time, the higher the temperature.
Heat is the transfer of energy between masses, generally by direct contact or radiation.
Work is a measure of how much energy is transferred to a mass.
Power is the idea of work produced or heat transferred over a period of time. The faster that energy is expended, the more power that can be generated. With electricity, the concept is generally expressed as the kilowatt-hour, or kilowatts produced per hour. With mechanical energy, horsepower is a common measure, which was based on how much work a horse could perform.
Efficiency is a concept relating to how much energy expended results in work versus how much is lost to disorder, also called entropy.
An energy gradient is the concept of the potential energy that lies between two energy states. The higher the gradient, the more potential energy that can turn kinetic, and the more work can be performed (and more efficiently). The gradient idea can be visualized as a paved hill with a wheeled cart at its top. The taller the hill, the more work can be expended as the cart rolls down the hill, and the steeper the hill, the faster (more powerfully) the cart will roll.
Recoverable energy is the idea of how much energy in a source can be extracted from it.
Energy return on investment (“EROI”) is the idea of how much energy is recovered versus how much energy is expended to recover it. Energy sources with high recoverable energy and high EROIs are the most coveted on Earth, and Middle East oil tops that list, partly because of oil’s versatility and ease of use. There are no coal-fired airplanes or automobiles.
Energy capture is the idea of actively gathering energy into a system, to be used immediately or later. Photosynthesis is the process of capturing the photon energy produced by the Sun and turning it into chemical energy.
Surplus energy is energy generated in excess of the energy used to capture it, and, if stored, is ready to be used if needed. Stored surplus energy is like money in the bank, be it an organism, ecosystem, or economy. The greater the surplus energy, the greater the system’s health and resilience.


Resilience is the ability of a system, be it an organism, ecosystem, or society, or even inorganic constructs such as machines, to withstand the disruptive shocks that accompany existing in physical reality. Stuff happens, and a system’s resilience determines whether it can survive the shocks. Surplus energy is the primary coin of resilience for organisms, ecosystems, and societies.

These energy concepts are often used in other contexts, such as the idea of political power, which is how a political-economic actor can direct the work of others, be the actor a person or organization such as a corporation or state. But those seemingly non-energy contexts in fact rely on energy concepts, although they are often not thought of that way. Without physical power, there is no political power. There are no hungry kings.

Feedback effects. Interacting dynamics can amplify or reduce their resultant effects with feedbacks. A feedback can be positive (amplifying) or negative (dampening). Positive feedbacks can result in runaway conditions, and negative feedbacks can help dynamics stay in equilibrium or eliminate them. An example of a positive feedback is a nuclear chain reaction, such as in a nuclear weapon. As an unstable atom disintegrates into simpler elements, it releases subatomic particles such as neutrons, and high-energy radiation such as gamma rays. When that happens in nature, the effect impacts whatever it hits, often tearing electrons off of atoms or causing other damage, but the process soon ends. But when a disintegrating atom does it near other unstable atoms, such as uranium or plutonium, the ejected neutron collides with nearby unstable atoms and causes them to disintegrate. When enough radioactive material is brought together, it forms a “critical mass” that will produce sustained nuclear disintegration. Make it even more concentrated, and the decay becomes “prompt critical” and produces the runaway conditions that make nuclear weapons work or result in disastrous nuclear accidents.

Organisms generally maintain chemical and temperature equilibrium through negative feedback processes, such as hunger pangs when energy is running low or the release of hormones that triggers effects that reduce high blood pressure.

In human affairs, positive feedbacks can produce virtuous or vicious circles. In ecosystems and human societies, feedback effects can produce boom and bust cycles. In evolutionary terms, adaptive radiations are booms that result in a “golden age” for the fortunate species, and mass extinctions are busts that clear ecosystems for the next boom, often enjoyed by a survivor of the bust that was previously a marginal member of the ecosystem.

Ultimate and proximate causes. In order to understand how things work and why events happen, which is the raison d'être of science and much of historical investigation, it is necessary to distinguish various dynamics and rank them in importance. An example is the temperature of Earth’s surface, why we have lived in an ice age for millions of years, and how humanity’s activities are warming Earth’s surface. The ultimate cause of Earth’s surface temperature is the Sun. If not for the Sun, Earth’s surface would be solid, with no ocean and a scant atmosphere, within three degrees of absolute zero, or about -270o C, and obviously no life as we know it. The Sun has been slowly growing brighter over its lifetime, there are variations in its output, and the sunspot minimum in what is called the Little Ice Age likely corresponded to reduced solar output. However, the change was on the order of far less than 1%, and scientists consider it unlikely that the Sun’s output has fluctuated significantly over its life so far, so the hot and cold phases of Earth’s history had other variables likely causing the changes. During the past four billion years, the heat from Earth’s interior has had negligible impacts on Earth’s surface temperature.

After that ultimate cause of Earth’s warmth that dwarfs all else, there are proximate causes, and the most important of them are gases in Earth’s atmosphere that trap radiation, of which water and carbon dioxide comprise the two primary ones. Water, however, only lasts in the atmosphere for about a week before coming out in precipitation and is unevenly distributed, while carbon dioxide lasts for more than a century and is evenly distributed. Carbon dioxide levels set the atmosphere’s temperature, and its variation over the eons has been the most important determinant, after sunlight, of Earth’s surface temperature.

Earth’s surface has a carbon cycle, in which volcanoes spew carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, sedimentary deposition in the oceans moves carbon to the bottom of the surface’s carbon cycle, and oceanic plates are subducted beneath continental ones as carbon is returned below Earth’s surface. The volcanism that resulted from the formation and breakup of a supercontinent ended an ice age and initiated a hot period on Earth that lasted about 200 million years, when dinosaurs dominated Earth’s landmasses. About 50 mya, Earth began cooling off again as volcanism waned, and for the past 35 million years, Earth has been in icehouse Earth conditions, and ice sheets began forming at Antarctica.

After sunlight and greenhouse gases, the next most important variable of Earth’s surface temperature has been the position of the continents. Antarctica has been near the South Pole for several hundred million years, and Earth’s ice ages during that time have always begun there. The other continents have moved more than Antarctica has, coming together and breaking apart in a cycle that is around 500 million years long. The gradual closing of a seaway that circled the equator contributed to the cooling, and the ice sheets on Greenland began forming 14 mya, during another cooling phase. When the gap between North and South America was finally bridged about three mya, our current ice age was on its way.

Changes in Earth’s orientation to the Sun likely comprise the next most important variable in our current ice age. Earth does not orbit the Sun in a circle, but in an ellipse, its axis of rotation is at a tilt from the Sun (which is why we have seasons), and its axis of rotation wobbles and the eccentricity of its orbit changes, which the scientist Milankovitch first described. Those fluctuations are primarily due to the gravitational effects of Earth’s neighboring planets. There are several periodic oscillations regarding Earth’s orientation to the Sun, including those which operate on 100,000, 41,000, and 21,000 year cycles. Over the past million years, ice sheets have grown and retreated roughly on the 100,000 year Milankovitch cycle, while the shorter cycles have also made their impact. Milankovitch cycles seem to have caused the advance and retreat of the continental ice sheets that have buried northern North America and Eurasia, and positive feedback effects have amplified the effect. But scientists are always producing alternative hypotheses, and one is that variations in solar output are more influential than Milankovitch cycles in our ice age.

During interglacial warm periods, carbon dioxide and methane are released from Earth’s soil and ocean sediments, which is a positive feedback that leads to more warming. There are myriad positive and negative feedbacks to the current process of Global Warming, but human activities dominate the proximate causes, and the carbon dioxide from burning Earth’s hydrocarbon deposits trumps everything else; it contributes about a hundred times what volcanism does today.

If a contest was held to determine how to best turn Earth from icehouse to greenhouse conditions, the winning entry would be to mine and burn all of Earth’s hydrocarbon deposits. Humanity may achieve it soon, and the last time that Earth went from icehouse to greenhouse conditions, the greatest extinction in the history of complex life happened.

Longer-term trends have also impacted Earth’s surface and its inhabitability. Earth’s carbon cycle has been inexorably burying carbon, and the carbon dioxide content of Earth’s atmosphere has gradually declined over Earth’s history. Life on Earth is being slowly carbon-starved, and plants have adapted to it. Around 600 million years from now, carbon dioxide levels will decline to the point where the photosynthesis processes of most plants, including trees, will no longer work, and forests like today’s will vanish. Even those plants that will survive longer, mainly grasses, which use a more carbon-efficient process today, will eventually die out, and animals will go with them.

The Sun is about 30% brighter today than it was 4.5 bya, soon after it formed. In a billion years, it will be another 10% brighter, and will evaporate Earth’s ocean around then. Earth’s ocean is thought to lubricate the tectonic plates, so that they can move. The end of the ocean will mean the end of tectonic plate activity as we know it (and declining radioactivity in Earth’s interior also slows plate tectonics and reduces volcanism), and Earth will become geologically inert, similar to the Moon and Mars today. By that time, only microscopic organisms will survive on Earth, similar to how it was before the rise of complex life, and they will eventually die out, too, before the Sun grows into a red giant and engulfs Earth.

While those longer-term trends will have ultimate-cause impacts for life on Earth, in the near-term, other dynamics predominate, and the greatest is humanity’s mining and burning Earth’s hydrocarbon deposits, to fuel its industrial age. Do we really want to see how this experiment might end?

The ideal and process of scientific investigation. While precursors can be found in history, in Renaissance Europe, which was influenced by the reintroduction of Ancient Greek teachings that were preserved in captured Islamic libraries, what is today called the Scientific Revolution began, and the first works of modern science were published in 1543. The process of observation and developing theories to explain them became ascendant, and today’s scientific method was developed. The ideal is proposing hypotheses that purport to explain a set of phenomena, and then testing those hypotheses against reproducible observations. Scientific hypotheses are those that can be proven false (also known as falsifiable), based on observational evidence, and only those hypotheses that have survived numerous attempts to falsify them graduate to the status of theories. Some theories get called “laws,” but that is a quasi-religious conceit.

Like all ideals, the real world presents challenges to achieving them, and the history of science is marred with the influence of vested interests, human foibles, and other issues. The seductions of the success of applying the scientific method also led to a rise in materialistic philosophy, and various schools of related thought such as logical positivism and scientism appeared on the intellectual scene, although the greatest physicists rejected such ideas.

That stated, this essay, particularly its first half, is reliant on the findings of modern science, particularly in areas in which the distortions and corruption by various interests are likely minor.

Orthodox physics and its limitations. Isaac Newton’s Principia is the most influential work in the history of science, which guided physics for two centuries. Newton himself was not too impressed with his work, but it was adequate until the late 19th century, when the most delicate experiment to that time called into question Newton’s assumptions of absolute space and time. Scientists grappled with the findings that challenged Newtonian physics for a generation, until an obscure clerk in the Swiss patent office proposed his theory of special relativity, and modern physics was born. The same year as he published his theory of special relativity, Albert Einstein published the paper that won him his Nobel Prize, in which he explained the photoelectric effect with the idea of “quanta,” which was the notion that light came in discrete packets of energy. The idea of quanta was not entirely original with Einstein, as his friend Max Planck and others previously proposed it, but his application of the idea to light was original, and Einstein was an unwitting father of quantum theory, which Werner Heisenberg took much further. Before the rise of quantum theory, Einstein generalized his prior work in relativity, and the primary upshot of relativity theory was that space and time are relative.

In the decade after Einstein became an unprecedented scientific celebrity when a key prediction of general relativity was confirmed, Heisenberg invented his matrix mechanics, and relativity and quantum theory represent the two pillars of orthodox physics today. Both Einstein and Heisenberg had flashes of insight to thank for their theories, and neither one of them were too impressed with their theories, as far any kind of ultimate explanation for how the universe works (1, 2), but a quasi-religious materialism has dominated the scientific establishment for generations, as many scientists have organized into a kind of priesthood.

Another father of quantum physics also became an inspiration in the hunt for DNA’s structure. As with Einstein and Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger was not overly impressed with science’s explanatory ability. Einstein and Schrödinger were quite opposed to key ideas that quantum physics rested on, with its negation of the idea of causation and the introduction of randomness and uncertainty. Einstein battled against quantum physics for the rest of his life, believing it to be an incomplete theory. As Feynman once said, nobody really understands quantum mechanics.

The first major application of Einstein’s work was building nuclear weapons, and Einstein considered his advocacy for the USA to develop them before the Nazis did to be his life’s greatest mistake. The stakes of science grew enormously in the 20th century, and my bizarre journey taught me that technologies older than I am have been developed in clandestine enclaves on Earth that render today’s orthodox physics into quaint notions of how the universe works. With extremely few exceptions, orthodox scientists cannot even entertain the truth of that situation, and denial and fear dominate their responses. After several years of receiving those reactions, my astronaut colleague began openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species. Even the orthodox theories have huge holes in them, which renders any reactions of “impossible” to the idea of free energy to be highly irrational, at best. Today’s orthodox theories assert that 95% of our universe is comprised of dark energy and dark matter, neither of which has ever been observed. Some of the giants of physics were onboard with the idea of untapped energy sources that are ignored today, but you wouldn’t know it if you only listened to the “skeptics” hold forth with their cocksure pronouncements.

Along with those technologies, which include free energy and antigravity, the other primary upshot that my fellow travelers discovered on their journeys, and we were all either scientists or scientists-in-training, was that the materialistic models of consciousness that dominate scientific theory today are false. We all discovered it through our experiences, not some theory or teaching, and I have called what we experienced our mystical awakening, although the “discovery of our innate paranormal abilities” is another way to state it. Today’s orthodox scientists have not even begun to comprehend the role of consciousness in our universe, and until science begins to explore that territory, it will be playing a small game.

Evolutionary concepts. The idea of evolution is simply that nothing ever stays the same. The only constant in the universe is change, and it applies to life, too. The idea of evolution goes back at least to the Ancient Greek philosophers, but it came into flower with the 1859 publication of Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species. Since then, evolution rapidly ascended as the explanatory mechanism for the diversity of life on Earth. Today, it is generally accepted that all life on Earth today is descended from one organism. The rise of evolutionary theory has been a checkered one, with some scientific factions turning it into a quasi-religion, with its adherents as dogmatic as the most fervent religious fanatic (there are likely evolutionary reasons for this :) ), but the explanatory power of evolutionary theory is unmatched in the life sciences, and its basic tenets have largely survived and have been further developed since Darwin’s time. A large portion of this essay is devoted to sketching the journey of life on Earth, it necessarily deals with evolutionary concepts, and some key ones follow.


Other than the first life, all life arrived on Earth via reproduction. While life may have arisen from inanimate matter around four bya, ever since then, life always arose from life via reproduction.
DNA is the latest repository of the information that life needs to successfully reproduce itself. From the beginning, life had to produce a “blueprint” for reproducing itself, and the first blueprint was not DNA. RNA preceded DNA as the reproductive blueprint, and was likely preceded by other informational molecules.
DNA does not always stay unchanged during an organism’s lifespan, to be bestowed on its descendants. At the bacterial level in particular, pieces of DNA can be exchanged between organisms, even species, and DNA can change within an organism’s lifetime (called mutation).
Many key evolutionary events likely happened once and then spread through reproduction. Some of those possibly unique events are:
When a bacterium learned to capture sunlight, more than three bya;
When a photosynthesizing bacterium learned to split water to get the electrons needed for photosynthesis, perhaps more than three bya;
When two bacteria joined into one organism and the complex cell was born, around two bya;
When a water-splitting photosynthesizing bacteria was captured by an complex cell, and plants were born, around one bya, give or take a half billion years or so;
When a complex cell learned how to reproduce sexually, about one bya, which allowed for faster evolution.



Other evolutionary solutions were independently attained by what is called convergent evolution, as distantly related species developed similar solutions to similar problems. Whether biological features in diverse species were independently developed or the result of common ancestry is a key question that scientists pursue.
Innovation can happen in the reproductive process through DNA replication, or the innovation can happen in an organism’s lifetime and be passed to its offspring through reproduction.
In general, life has continually invented new ways to acquire, preserve, and use energy. In that way, there has been “progress” in evolution.
A feature the evolved for one purpose can be used for new purposes (called exaptation).
When a species finds itself in advantageous circumstances, it can grow its numbers, populate other environments, and have rapid evolutionary changes as it adapts to new environments, which is called an adaptive radiation.
Species have their own life expectancies, and extinction can come in myriad ways. Also, entire ecosystems can come under stress that wipes out most species of complex life, which is called a mass extinction. This is an area where Darwin got it wrong, as he subscribed to Charles Lyell’s uniformitarian philosophy. Because of that, a dogmatic taboo against studying mass extinctions, or even admitting they were possible, prevailed in English-speaking nations for more than a century, which only ended in my lifetime. Now, studying mass extinctions has been called a fad in some scientific corners.
Genetics did not exist as a science when Darwin was alive, but it has arisen in prominence since his time, and the discovery and analysis of DNA has been a key trend. However, DNA does not tell the entire story of how life develops and evolves, and the rise of epigenetics in the past generation is one of the many unexpected developments in life studies.
The rise of humanity has caused many evolutionary events (such as wiping out the megafauna, domesticating plants and animals), and human evolution itself has accelerated due to human activities. Human culture and its impact have now outstripped evolution as a source of innovation. Today, humanity is either on the brink of a mass extinction that could exceed all others in history of complex life, or we could finally begin to act responsibly and usher in an unprecedented Epoch for both humanity and Earth’s denizens, in which humanity lives in abundance and peace while helping heal and partnering with Earth’s ecosystems.


Pristine instances of events. Many trends in the journey of life on Earth and the human journey seem to have been initiated by one event, such as some of those listed above, usually some kind of invention, and the invention spread through species, ecosystems, and societies. This essay is more concerned with how the pristine instances happened rather than how they spread. The spreading was fairly simple: copying. As an innovation was copied, there was usually variation in the copying, and it could lead to other innovations, but as with ranking ultimate and proximate causes, the initial invention was the key event, and everything that came after it was a far easier process. Sometimes, key inventions could be arrived at independently. The concept of convergent evolution conveys the idea in biology, and events in the human journey, such as the development of domestic plants and animals, and civilizations, were, to a degree, independently developed, as behaviorally modern humans developed similar solutions in their isolated states across the planet during the past 12,000 years. However, there is only one pristine instance of industrialization, which happened in England, and that event influenced all other instances of industrialization.

Energy’s role in the journey of life on Earth, and its Epochal role in the human journey. This is the primary theme of this essay, as it explores energy’s role in the beginning of our universe, the formation of our solar system, the journey of life on Earth, the human journey, and what the potential is of those sequestered technologies that are older than I am.

My intention for this essay is to communicate these ideas:

The role that energy plays in our universe, including:


How star systems form, live, and die, including ours;
How Earth evolved, from its fiery beginnings to becoming a “water planet”;
How life appeared and learned to harness energy, at ever-increasing levels;
How complex life appeared and evolved, including complex ecosystems;


How humanity arrived on the evolutionary scene, including:



How and why primates appeared;
Why some left the trees and became apes;
Why some apes left the rainforests and learned to walk erect;
How they began making tools in a way never done before on Earth, and the subsequent runaway growth in the human-line’s brain;
How they learned to control fire, which in short evolutionary order led to the appearance of Homo sapiens and their conquest of Earth;


How humanity learned to harness new energy resources to propel its growth and prosperity, including:


Earth’s large animals;
Plants and animals conducive to domestication;
Earth’s forests;
Fossil fuels;
Non-chemical energy, of which nuclear, hydroelectric, and direct solar energy are the best-known;
What are called exotic energy sources, such as zero-point energy;


How humanity has pushed Earth’s ecosystems to the brink with its energy practices, in a number of ways, including:


Destroying ecosystems for human benefit;
Burning fossil fuels to the extent that it has measurably affected Earth’s atmosphere, and in ways that portend dramatic changes in Earth’s climate;
Various chemical pollution dynamics;


How humanity can become an environmentally harmless and economically abundant global civilization, in which poverty, most disease, and warfare become distant memories, while acknowledging:


The current sequestering by global elites of the technologies that make that transition feasible, as well as the organized suppression of independent efforts to develop such technologies;
Humanity’s inertia, which has not has not only not helped, but has often served to thwart such independent efforts;


I am going to put aside my discussion of those exotic technologies until 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 subjects. This essay is intended to help people stay grounded, focus on what is important, and prevent them from becoming too distracted by the three-ring circus that surrounds the free energy milieu, which is full of charlatans, provocateurs, and other assailants (1, 2, 3), “skeptics,” the greedy, the gullible, megalomaniacs, and the like. Today’s free energy field is in a state of arrested development, with its focus on free energy inventors and theorists and the businessman’s approach to manifesting free energy. The inventors virtually all seek riches and fame, as do most theorists and entrepreneurs. The lure of free energy is often irresistible to those in the milieu or those close to it, and delusions of grandeur beckon.

This essay ends with the approach I am taking, arrived at from a lifetime of making attempts, commiserating with fellow travelers, and observing numerous independent efforts.

Hi:

Boy, is Philip Cross (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621#post1621) ever busy! A spin-doctor’s work is never done. Cross darted into the fray on the article on the spook founder of the White Helmets, which has long since been exposed as a propaganda operation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1885&viewfull=1#post1885). That spook founder recently met an untimely demise, and Cross and friends were all over cleaning up that little mess (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/narrative-managers-in-overdrive-after-death-of-white-helmets-founder-3eef74c8ebd8), getting that spook ready for sainthood. Jimmy Wales has openly defended Cross.

It may well end up like with Ed, Noam, and the media. Their scholarship has proven to be unanswerable by the mainstream (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#academic), so they get smear campaigns instead (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms). Anybody with a clue knows how worthless the media is (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), but it just keeps churning out the propaganda, because most people fall for it, enough so that the Eds and Noams of the world just don’t matter. On political-economic matters, Wikipedia is proving to be little more than a propaganda outlet, but as long as the masses fall for it, it will keep chugging along, and I’ll get my annual begging email from Jimmy because I once donated $5 to Wikipedia.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Some odds and ends…

It looks like Philip Cross is a real person (https://sputniknews.com/columnists/201910131077038943-andrew-philip-cross-wikipedia-editing-scandal-continues-but-for-how-much-longer/), but is likely being used by interests like Murdoch, as a sock-puppet, and is likely not the only contributor using his account. Intelligence connections would not be surprising in the least. Last year, a series of articles began (https://medium.com/@helen.buyniski/wikipedia-rotten-to-the-core-dcc435781c45), exposing Wikipedia’s corruption. We’ll see when the next ones come.

A great deal of libel is at Wikipedia, and like what happened to me regarding Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), Wikipedia’s claim of neutrality is fraudulent. It very actively plays editor of the content, with a pronounced ideological bias, which mirrors Jimmy Wales’s biases (in which selfishness is elevated to a virtue), naturally. Wikipedia is particularly hostile to alternative medicine, elevating “quackbuster” Barrett (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#barrett), who is as cranky as they come, like some kid writing in his mother’s basement, to a “reliable source.” I have been aware of Gary Null’s work for more than 40 years, and his Wikipedia bio was so libelous, and dominated by Barrett’s drivel, that Null’s attorney unsuccessfully tried to get Null’s bio deleted at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gary_Null_(2nd_nomination)).

With anonymous coward editors and admins, secretive processes for banning people and other decisions, Wales’s defense of shills such as Cross (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621#post1621), etc., Wikipedia has devolved into a parody of an encyclopedia for anything with political-economic relevance. Ed’s bio is libelous (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751), while that White Helmets spook’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1945&viewfull=1#post1945) is going to remain hagiographic, if Cross has anything to say about it. Wikipedia will have a day of reckoning, and we’ll see if I live to see it.

I have been reading American Conspiracies and Cover-ups (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1936&viewfull=1#post1936), and in ways, it is an example of how conspiracists can miss the boat. The author has interviews of Noam and Ralph Moss (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#moss), for instance, but the author kept grinding the conspiracy ax, over and over, while Noam and Moss kept repeating that there did not need to be a conspiracy theory to explain how the mainstream media and Western medicine worked. Conspiracists continually bark up the wrong tree. I am not saying that conspiracies don’t exist or are not relevant. Far from it. My life was wrecked by a global conspiracy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), but most of the damage was done by our allies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#allies) and the structural corruption of the system (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care), not by the conspirators. They don’t have to work that hard, in general. A nudge here and there, and let the evil system work its magic. More than 90% of organized suppression is structural (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=722&viewfull=1#post722). That interviewer kept focusing on the retail elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=721&viewfull=1#post721) such as the Bilderbergers and the CFR, and Noam kept replying that those were not exactly secretive organizations. Other than a few factions of some organizations, you have never heard of the people who run the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186).

Here is an example of how conspiracists miss the boat. In the Noam interview, the interviewer brought up the JFK hit and Vietnam. Noam replied that who killed JFK was not important, but whether there was a policy change with Johnson was the primary issue, and Noam concluded that there wasn’t. IMO, Vietnam is kind of a red herring with the JFK hit. JFK was killed because he tried to end the Cold War and pissed off Wall Street and the Eastern Oligarchy. JFK’s focus was on the Soviet Union, not Vietnam, although JFK was a reluctant imperialist, which was established well before his presidency, such as his support for post-colonial Africa. No American president before or since ever treated Africa that way. In the author’s notes at the book’s end, he at least mentioned the Cold War angle on JFK’s death. Too bad he didn’t bring it up with Noam.

JFK tried to end the Space Race soon before his murder, he pushed through the test ban treaty, both of which were designed to help end the Cold War, and Doug Caddy’s amazing testimony (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big) fits perfectly with the real reason why JFK was murdered, and policy definitely changed (look at what happened to the Alliance for Progress), but since the ET policy is not public anyway, and was taken out of the hands of the presidency after JFK (Carter tried, but got nowhere (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), and Clinton was afraid to try), a document analyst like Noam is never going to see those documents. As when I contacted Noam back in 1992, these are subjects that he will never know much about. It is just a limitation with him, as it was with Ed, and it is understandable. There are only so many years in a life, and ETs and free energy are far beyond the pale for Noam, Ed, and that interviewer.

The ETs and their attendant technologies comprise the targets of the big cover-up (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2), and everything else is the small stuff, but that conspiracist author never even came close to going there in his book.

I have been reading Elizabeth Rauscher’s last book (https://www.amazon.com/Dynamics-Hurtak-Desiree-Elizabeth-Rauscher/dp/1892139448), on the exploration of consciousness. The results of many experiments were in the book, and what struck me was how talented a psychic Rauscher was. She did many remote viewing experiments, in which there was a target image and she drew them with remarkable accuracy. That book presented many target images and her drawings. It does not take much effort to falsify the materialistic models of consciousness (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote).

Hi:

Caitlin Johnstone is definitely one of my favorite journalists, giving me that little dose of humor that I got from Uncle Ed’s work. Her recent article (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/no-no-you-guys-this-us-backed-military-coup-is-perfectly-legitimate-47d5027f2c3a) on the military coup in Bolivia is typical. The media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) can normalize anything that the Empire wants, no matter how criminal, bloody, and evil it might be, and her using a Peanuts cartoon is charming.

The USA’s standard of living has been declining ever since it hit peak energy use back in the early 1970s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert). And as Orwell predicted (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell), the media keeps up with a drumbeat of everything being better than ever. When I saw the Trade Center towers smoking on 9/11 (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11), I knew that my efforts were too little and too late. I didn’t know exactly what the future held, but I expected an imperial rampage, and in the days and weeks after 9/11, it was obvious that the people of my great nation were losing their minds. Insane people are coming to prominence in the USA (http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/have-you-noticed-that-the-crazy-people-are-starting-to-take-over-our-society), and what I see today is reminiscent of tales of Rome’s slow-motion collapse (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#antonine).

Of course, this can all be easily changed, but it will take an unprecedented act of integrity and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and it can be accomplished by a fairly small group. That is my game.

On a lighter note, I watch the traffic to my site, and last night I saw links from a site I had never noticed traffic from before, and I checked it out. It was from a plagiarism-checker site (https://www.plagscan.com/en/). I have been plagiarized and impersonated on the Internet, and have been accused of being the plagiarist, when it was easily provable that I was the one being plagiarized. During my bizarre encounters with Wikipedia over trying to give Ed’s libelous bio a makeover (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), I was accused of plagiarizing myself, to enter surreal realms. Anybody familiar with my work knows that I have never knowingly plagiarized anybody. I have certainly never tried to pass off anybody else’s work as mine. For better or worse, my work is highly unique, with its own inimitable style and approach. There is nothing else like it on the Internet. Whom could I plagiarize, without changing my style? So, it will be interesting to see what might come of that plagiarism checker activity to my site.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I read some Global Warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming) news yesterday. I have been following the issue for the past 30 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797), and I have noticed that even the most “alarmist” projections are turning out to be conservative (https://www.businessinsider.com/greenland-ice-melting-is-2070-worst-case-2019-8). Scientists are constantly surprised (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/greenlands-oldest-ice-melting-fast-180973560/) at aspects of the melting of the world’s ice, especially at Greenland (https://insideclimatenews.org/news/18092019/greenland-ice-sheet-melting-sea-level-rise-climate-change-heat-wave-study) and Antarctica (https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/01/east-antarctica-s-ice-melting-unexpectedly-rapid-clip-new-study-suggests) (2 (https://e360.yale.edu/features/polar-warning-even-antarctica-coldest-region-is-starting-to-melt), 3 (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/09/glacial-melting-in-antarctica-may-become-irreversible), 4 (https://www.washington.edu/news/2019/08/12/first-evidence-of-human-caused-climate-change-melting-the-west-antarctic-ice-sheet/)). This past year probably set a new record for ice melting in Greenland (https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-49483580). The ocean could easily rise ten feet in this century (https://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/past-antarctic-ice-melt-reveals-potential-for-extreme-sea-level-rise-20191106-p537y4.html), for starters, as humanity pumps carbon dioxide into the atmosphere like there is no tomorrow, to fuel our industrial societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse). It is difficult for non-scientists to appreciate what is happening. It is likely that nothing like it (https://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/24/graphic-the-relentless-rise-of-carbon-dioxide/) has happened in the past four billion years on Earth, it is so dramatic. What humanity is doing is happening in an eye-blink on the geologic timescale (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#geologictime1). Arguably the only event that would be comparably abrupt was the bolide event that wiped out the dinosaurs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction).

But I get denial and “skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” from people, and I have had people who sever the relationship when their self-serving (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), business-as-usual oxen get gored, and they usually don’t even know the Global Warming basics. In the USA, it is a close cousin to people who are “skeptical” that evolution is a reality, as they turn to their Bibles for their “facts,” which tell them that the universe is about six thousand years old (or even that Earth is flat (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth)). There are outright phonies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics?p=463&viewfull=1#post463) in the Global Warming “debate,” whom the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) gives the stage, as if their interest-conflicted opinions have any validity.

But what has truly been surreal is that virtually everybody is oblivious to the idea that the solution to this problem and many others (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is older than they are, and there is often active hostility from the people who say that they seek solutions, and it can be the worst (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) from the so-called educated and scientists, which initially blew Brian away (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions). Ignorance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0), denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), indifference, fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), and hostility (and murder attempts from the people managing the situation - 1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), while talking heads in the field shamelessly lie about it (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel)) – that is the terrain that people such as Brian, Dennis, and I (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) have had to navigate for many years. And if people show any interest, that can be worse, as they fly off in a million unproductive directions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), which are often life-risking. Those are all variations 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).

I accepted long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) that I seek needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), but even I have been surprised at how few and far between people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) are. But I can’t afford to lower the bar (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), to get distracted on issues that don’t amount to anything, as people approach me with “the answer,” which are only their self-serving delusions talking, as they grind their particular axes (and refuse to do the work that my approach requires), advocate “bright idea” short-cuts that have been tried thousands of times, etc. If nothing else, my path has been teaching me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :) All that I seek today are people who can learn to hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The rest will come later (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers).

Between now and year-end, I plan to get a lot done on my essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447). If I am fortunate, I’ll publish it next year, to be followed by a book, which will only be an abridged version of the essay.

Hi:

I want to expand a little on those interviews with Noam and Ralph Moss (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1946&viewfull=1#post1946) that I wrote about recently. They are great illustrations of my theme of awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). Unless somebody is awakened, work line mine will either seem meaningless or a great threat. In Noam and Ed’s writings on the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), not only did they stress that conspiracies are not necessary to explain how the media works (although Ed said that conspiracies indeed exist and can have important impacts), they emphasized that journalists by and large were honest and industrious. They just worked within a false framework that was built around the myth that the media was a seeker of truth. All institutions have their sustaining mythologies, and from what I have seen, particularly in the rackets (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets), the mythology is based on the Big Lie that the institution/profession serves the common good, when in practice, it delivers the opposite.

They all operate that way, in that everybody drinks the heroic Kool-Aid, and anybody who fails to is weeded out, and usually quickly. Only naïve fools like me, who still believed in the Easter Bunny (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing), would dare question the founding mythology. You might call Ralph McGehee exceptionally naïve (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#synopsis), working for the CIA, thinking that his efforts were a cross between missionary work and the Peace Corps. It took him 16 years to finally awaken to the evil that he was part of, and he nearly did not survive the experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon). Similarly, you could call Dennis exceptionally naïve, believing the Horatio Alger tales and embracing American nationalism as his religion, even after killing people in Vietnam (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=778&viewfull=1#post778). Like Ralph, Dennis nearly did not survive (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice) his moment of awakening. The CIA’s headquarters are filled with zombies (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#stockwell), counting their days to retirement and pouring themselves into a bottle each night, to deal with their cognitive dissonance (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive).

Only the truly honest person will begin to have those dissonant thoughts, when their eyes tell them that their beliefs might be a little askew from reality. Few do. Again, this was 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 I was able to generalize and apply to virtually all areas of human endeavor today. In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), this is just how our world works.

Similarly, in Ralph Moss’s interview, he not only dismissed the conspiracy angle, but even lauded people that he knew at the FDA, who were dedicated to their mission. However, what Ralph did not say, and may not appreciate, was that those FDA people, who avidly wipe out or freeze out alternative treatments, believe in their mission via a combination of brainwashing and being unwilling or unable to think about why all alternatives are attacked for “quackery,” when that “coincidentally” lines the pockets of Big Pharma. Moss even took it easy on Fishbein (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fishbein), who was arguably the greatest quack of the 20th century, designing the “research” to “prove” the beneficial qualities of an asbestos cigarette filter (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lorillard), as he led the war on quacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#quacks). You couldn’t make it up if you tried.

Long ago, I wrote that the studies showed that coronary bypass surgery was useless (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#bypass), if increasing a patient’s life expectancy was the goal, but anybody who dared challenge the dogma soon found their careers over. Well, well, well, a major study was just published (https://apnews.com/0962c6141ed2413cb329ff49faff30bf) that confirmed those old studies. We’ll see how many more doctors might awaken a little.

I have more to write on this, and I’ll do it tomorrow.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

This issue of conspiracy or structural constraints (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation/page2?p=1949&viewfull=1#post1949) can be subtle stuff. As with so many areas like this, if not for my wild ride with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), I would likely not have anything worth saying about these issues. I would still be a naïve cog in a corporate wheel, but probably retired by now from my capitalist plunder. If that voice had not led me to Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), I might have worked for Microsoft and would be a millionaire many times over. And I had other millionaire opportunities that my path led me away from, but I certainly can’t regret any of it.

The structural constraints all arise from power relationships within political-economic dynamics. If rich people own the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ownership), then those who work for the media will be attending to the interests of those rich people. Duh. Sometimes it is very conscious, but they usually just “internalize” the prevailing value system and labor under the delusion that they act freely. This is an aspect of social animals, which humans are. Herd management (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings) and groupthink (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink) are key aspects of how human organizations work, whether it is a corporation or society.

A few weeks after I met Dennis, I saw a TV news reporter lie her ass off about Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news). She deliberately lied. Of the thousands of people who got the tax credit when they followed Dennis’s instructions for applying for it, that reporter found one person who screwed up, was initially denied, and that man became the centerpiece of her news segment, as she made the case that Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) was a scam that did not qualify for the tax credit. The only way that one could say that the woman reporter was being honest was to provide the “she is a blithering idiot” defense.

So, conspiracy or idiot? I have seen this play out innumerable times during my journey. I watched Mr. Skeptic deliberately lie, repeatedly. When his lies were exposed (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel), he simply made up new lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#attack2006), as he duped the gullible. Mr. Skeptic was too clever to be stupid enough to “accidentally” do what he did. So, he consciously lied, and became a media darling because of it, who was featured in all of the TV media attacks on Dennis. The question then becomes if he did it as part of his job, or if he did it out of some twisted ego needs.

The timing of his appearance and his slinking away (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#skeptic) once Dennis was run out of the USA, after his 15-year campaign, has me more than half convinced that he was on somebody’s payroll the entire time. It is more psychologically interesting if his vendetta was free-lance, but he was likely being compensated somehow for his efforts. I was amazed at how naïve Sterling Allan was (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1550&viewfull=1#post1550), being duped by Mr. Skeptic’s “affable skeptic” charade.

There is no doubt about Bill the BPA Hit Man (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm) or Ken Hodgell (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) – they were on the payroll, as contract agents, kind of like my close relative was (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia). When our technical material was stolen by the deputies in the raid (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#raid), it was clearly a crime, and I strongly doubt that they stole it to peruse at their leisure.

When Dennis got those phone calls in the night from the so-called White Hats (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#white), at around the same time that we got the friendly buyout offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), and they added a couple of zeroes a year later (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), delivered by the CIA, before they lowered the boom on us, there was no longer any doubt that we had been targeted by an international conspiracy, but I didn’t get all of the pertinent details until several years later. When I finally did, a lot more became clear, and it is only in the past decade or so that I saw the bigger picture of why were such a threat in Ventura and had to be taken out (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1656&viewfull=1#post1656). Our effort threatened to upend the entire GC (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) applecart.

But that was not my big surprise. My big surprise was how the same people who gave Dennis a standing ovation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=602&viewfull=1#post602) on the day that I met him cheered as his company was stolen a few months later (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604). My big surprise was that my own mother would campaign against me, (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492) never even asking for my side of the story as she completely swallowed her employer’s Big Lies. My big surprise was how easily Hodgell recruited Mr. Stooge (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=207&viewfull=1#post207) and duped Mr. Engineer and Mr. Researcher (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) when Dennis was arrested with his million dollar bail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail). When the dust settled in Ventura, Mr. Engineer had the honesty to tell Mr. Researcher that they were the world’s “saps.” Not many people are capable of an admission like that. During my first stint with Dennis, in Seattle, Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), and Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), the people that I saw who acquitted themselves honorably amounted to less than ten people. If there had been fifty people like Mr. Professor and me (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#heroes), we would not have been stopped and the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) would be here by now, but there were only two of us. Our heroism cost us our lives, and Dennis should not have survived (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes). I was young enough to survive the experience, while Mr. Professor wasn’t (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), and for Indiana Jones (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jones), he kept on going, incredibly.

By the time I staggered away from my home town (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), to never return, I had long since been radicalized (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#radical) and learned my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). The past 30 years of study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) and writing has been the small stuff.

So, I had already been through the meat grinder before I ever heard of Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), structural analysis versus conspiracy theories, the history I was never taught in school (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), etc. I always brought my radicalized perspective to my studies, and I have a lot more to write about this structural/conspiratorial divide (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism).

Hi:

Morris Fishbein (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fishbein) never practiced medicine for a day in his life (and flunked anatomy in medical school), but was the face of Western medicine for a generation, and essentially its dictator. Building on his mentor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#simmons) method of racketeering by using the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) as a tool to shake down drug companies (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#drugs), Fishbein began racketeering in food safety approval (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#food). But Fishbein was only beginning. He began wiping out alternative cancer treatments soon after he ascended to the throne, but he also tried to buy out promising treatments, so that he could gain a monopoly in dispensing them. He tried buying out/into Hoxsey (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#hoxsey) and Rife (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), and when both refused his entreaties (Hoxsey because Fishbein refused to treat the indigent for free, and Rife was understandably wary), he wiped them out, and untimely deaths and other outrages attended the process (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#johnson1), Al Capone-style.

Just as Fishbein and his cronies were wiping out alternative practitioners (he literally called it the “war on quacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#quacks)”), he worked closely with cigarette companies, helping them structure their “research” so that that they could make health claims (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#cigarettes) for their brands in the pages of JAMA. Hoxsey never stopped fighting back, and Fishbein’s reputation was ruined in the trial, when it was revealed that he flunked anatomy and never practiced medicine. After Fishbein was deposed in the wake of the scandal, similarly to how his mentor was forced into stepping down, he went to work for a cigarette company, making big money as he helped the company structure its “research” so that they could make health claims for their asbestos cigarette filter (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lorillard)! The ad blitz in the wake of the “research” results was so egregious that JAMA was finally spurred to stop running cigarette ads, as the drug companies that advertised in JAMA complained. But the AMA was in bed with the cigarette companies for another 30 years, when it was finally shamed enough by young idealistic doctors. You couldn’t make this up if you tried. As an aside, it was also in those years that an industrial waste was rebranded as “medicine,” (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory) and it is in my home’s tap water to this day. These are not irrelevant tales from the past.

With all the death and suffering that Fishbein was responsible for, I have seen him compared to Hitler (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#system). I am a little gentler, and call him the Al Capone of modern medicine, but the racketeering certainly did not end with him (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fitzgerald).

So, here is a conspiracy theory for you. Fishbein promoted the single greatest cause of cancer and then tried to monopolize the cures (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fishbein1). Were his left and right hands unaware of each other? Ralph Moss (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#moss) gives Fishbein a pass. It can be explained by unbridled greed on one hand, trying to buy out the cures before wiping them out, and unbridled greed in using JAMA as a racketeering tool (cha-ching (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voYdt2JcZ88)! :) ), but that one activity supported the other was just a “coincidence,” and Fishbein truly believed that he was wiping out quacks.

It is one of the most dramatic illustrations that I know of to show the contrast between the structural and conspiratorial view of events.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

My previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=1951&viewfull=1#post1951) highlights the structuralist/conspiracist perspectives on a very dark situation. If I had not had my own experiences with organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), I wonder how much I would have been able to digest those perspectives. Maybe Fishbein was an idiot, through-and-through, and promoting the greatest cause of cancer while buying out and wiping out the cures was pure coincidence. From what I have seen, I have little doubt that those in the FDA believe in their mission, no matter what evidence flies in the face of the official rationale. It took Ralph McGehee 16 years, his greatest career’s success (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#colby), and then the devastation of his tour of duty in Vietnam (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), to finally begin to figure out what his employer, the CIA, was really all about (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#intelligence). Few people are going to pursue their ideals with Ralph’s fervor (only the Boy and Girl Scouts will do that (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts)), and few are going to wake up like he did. And for those who do at the CIA, to one degree or another, they will often become zombies (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#stockwell), shuffling through the halls at Langley, counting their days to retirement, pouring themselves into a bottle each night.

We can get into the CIA’s role in JFK’s murder. I have no doubt that Oswald was not a lone nut assassin (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower), and Doug Caddy’s testimony of E. Howard Hunt’s statement (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big) is stunning, but fits with a lot of what I have pieced together (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2). The Dulles brothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles) were experts at overthrowing foreign governments on behalf of the Rockefellers and friends, and JFK fired Allen over the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Was Allen involved in the planning of JFK’s murder, as Stich contended (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1429&viewfull=1#post1429)? Allen lobbied hard to be on the Warren Commission and then dominated it, steering it toward its foregone Lone Nut conclusion. So, was he just trying to protect his favorite institution, the innocent CIA, which may have been played as a chump by whoever did the deed, or was it more sinister? Structural or conspiratorial? For the past 50 years and more, the CIA has always been in CYA mode on the JFK hit. Virtually all independent investigators can agree on that. The revelations of the Church Committee were the tip of the iceberg and a limited hangout (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_hangout).

When that DA’s investigator told Mr. Researcher that he did not care whether Dennis was innocent or not (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care), and only cared about his kill ratio (called “prosecutorial efficiency” in the profession), which he did not hesitate to lie and deceive (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#lie) to maintain, it highlighted the legal system’s structural corruption. I could go on and on regarding the structural corruption of the USA’s legal system, from kill ratios to privatized prisons for which the contracting states guarantee a minimum inmate population and judges get commissions for sending people to prison. Up to half of American inmates are innocent of the crimes that they are incarcerated for, in the world’s largest prison population, in The Land of the Free, of all things. Orwell (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) could not have topped it. So, how much is conspiratorial, and how much is structural, simply bringing capitalistic principles to the “justice” system?

When I watched people choose certain death (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#doom) over questioning their indoctrination, it was amazing to witness at first, but I eventually realized that it was normal. How much “conspiracy” does there need to be, when the herd eagerly lines up to its doom (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings), as they leap from the cliffs? When the dust finally settled in Ventura, I realized, before I ever began digesting Noam’s and Ed’s work, that organized suppression is at least 90% structural (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=722&viewfull=1#post722). Oh, the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers) are active and vigilant, but they get far too much credit from conspiracists for the state of affairs today on Earth. They essentially rule by default, as the mass of humanity has abdicated its responsibility, is almost effortlessly manipulated, and is its own worst enemy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#attacks). It was 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 almost nobody wants to believe. In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), this is how our world works, as everybody looks out for number one, and the horizons of people’s awareness rarely extend past their immediate self-interest, and can extend to their in-group’s welfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), as such caring serves their own welfare.

One of the hardest tricks is to acknowledge that reality, relinquish any judgment of it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), and learn to work with what we have, if we want to help right the ship, and it is going down (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), as anybody with their eyes open can see. All of those adventures, study, and thousands of interactions with the public over many years have led to my current approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), which I doubt will change much. I have to aim high. I have seen what lowest-common-denominator approaches lead to (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), too many times. It is time for something different, instead of the usual paths to disaster (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). I am still in the phase of making my material as good and accessible as I can (a one-man show can only do so much, even as I get a little help from my friends), while also realizing that there is no substitute for doing the work. Once I get the essay update done, and likely followed by a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481), I’ll spend more time hunting for those needles.

Time to begin my busy week.

Best,

Hi:

To go back to the beginning of this little series of posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation/page2?p=1949&viewfull=1#post1949), whether it is structural or conspiratorial is not as important as both are awakenings to the idea that not all is well, and that the dominant narrative is false. That said, structural and conspiratorial views (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism), by themselves, are lopsided. Integrating them is the key to achieving true understanding.

The capitalist media is not in the business of seeking and telling the truth, but selling audiences to other businesses (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#advertising), so that they can be induced to buy stuff. Also, a brainwashed populace is easily manipulated, which the ruling class desires, and the ruling class owns the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ownership). That was pretty much the entire point of Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death). The media serves elite interests, not the public’s, even though an informed public is a cornerstone of the idea of democracy, and a key reason for the First Amendment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution). Instead of an informed public, we have a brainwashed one (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing).

On that note, the day that the USA bombed Syria (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#syria) for an alleged chemical weapons attack, I knew that the so-called gas attack was a Big Lie, helped along by the White Helmets propaganda outfit (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1945&viewfull=1#post1945). It is finally coming out (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/the-hugely-important-opcw-scandal-keeps-unfolding-heres-why-no-one-s-talking-about-it-3632903f22a2) what a Big Lie it is. Even new-media, “Don’t be Evil,” Google is corrupted (https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2019/11/blockbuster-wsj-investigation-how-google-interferes-with-its-search-algorithms-and-changes-your-results.html), surprise of surprises (and Facebook is far worse). I don’t exactly have a lot of traffic to my site these days, and it fell by half in the past year. It might have something to do with Google, but I am not losing any sleep over it. I’ll take quality over quantity any day.

Once again, the ludicrous rape charges against Assange have been dropped (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/julian-assange-rape-case-dropped-by-swedish-prosecutors-a4290786.html), and his “crime” was seeking asylum to prevent what is in fact happening today, which is his extradition to the USA for daring the publish the truth about American war crimes and other events that any American journalist is supposedly protected for under the First Amendment. This is one of many acts for which the American government will live in infamy, if there will be any future historians (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) to write about the decline and fall of the American Empire, even though it does its best to stay afloat, and most of the world obliges. What we see happening in South America today (Venezuela (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#venezuela), Ecuador (https://nacla.org/news/2019/11/18/long-coup-ecuador), Brazil (https://www.brasilwire.com/chomsky-speaks-out-on-brasils-manipulated-2018-election/), and now Bolivia (https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/11/15/bolivia-proves-that-latin-america-cannot-exit-the-american-empire/)) is like Operation Condor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Condor) all over again. Noam and Ed’s work is as relevant as ever (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection).

So, for what I am doing, any kind of awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) is a good thing, no matter what walk of life that it comes in. Once you awaken the first time, the other awakenings are easier to achieve. It does not need to be as dramatic as Ralph’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice), or mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681). It can be something far gentler. The point is awakening from The Matrix (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix) that we all live in. Only when somebody has already awakened can they be of any use to an effort like mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and they can only awaken through experience, not by reading work like mine. Awakenings cannot be taught. Each person has to have his/her own. Also, staying awake is not easy. I watch people get moments of sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), to quickly go back to sleep, parroting the TV news, shuffling along with the herd, etc. Staying awake in our world is not easy, and my work can help people stay awake, who are already awakened, and help shorten their learning curve, so that they can help make a dent. :)

Hi:

We’ll see how much of this makes it into the published version, but I just drafted the below as part of that new chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/137-This-Essay%C2%92s-Key-Ideas-and-Themes?p=1944&viewfull=1#post1944).

Push-pull dynamics. When considering why events happened and what motivated the actors, push-pull dynamics often come into play. Were the participants pushed out or pulled out into their new activities and environments? When fish migrated to land, lobe-finned fish were losing out to ray-finned fish for oceanic dominance. The thinking today is that lobe-finned fish were pushed to the margins of the marine environment, and some that were pushed to the shoreline turned their lobes into feet and migrated onto land. It was an unexpected opportunity, and that act led to humanity. It seems that some marginal monkeys were pushed from the tropical canopies in a drying world, migrated to the ground, and became apes, in another act of being pushed that led to humanity. Today, gorillas live in the easy-living heart of the rainforest, smaller chimps (which were originally marginal gorillas) live more on the periphery and have to travel farther than gorillas each day to forage, and it seems that some marginal chimps were pushed farther from the heart of the shrinking rainforest and into the dryer woodlands, learned to walk upright, and that push-event led to humanity.

But, in all of those instances, the pull of opportunities may have also come into play, although likely later than the push events. While it seems that the push of coercion and survival was the primary impetus, at some stage, the opportunities of the new activities and environments may have pulled those pioneers along. Similar push-pull dynamics are considered in key events in the human journey. A relatively small group of behaviorally modern humans, on the order of a few hundred, which was about the size of a village society, left Africa, by boat or raft, at the mouth of the Red Sea, around 50-60 kya, and all humans that did not stay behind in sub-Saharan Africa are descended from that founder group, which amounts to nearly all of humanity today. That founder group was likely pushed by survival needs more than pulled by opportunity. They did not know that there was an Earth to conquer. Few leave their homeland unless they have to.

Those events presented above are all prehistoric and the subject of scientific investigation, but such dynamics can also be seen in historical human events. In medieval England, greedy elites and landowners broke feudal political-economic customs and began pushing the peasantry off of the land, with Game and Enclosure laws, and the peasantry often rioted against their treatment. Those dispossessed peasants ended up working in the coal mines and populating the cities, eking out their existences in medieval England’s hellish conditions. The coal mining phenomenon was a key dynamic in increasing the class divisions in English society. Some early miners were even slaves, wearing collars that denoted their status, but a new energy source was exploited on Earth like never before, which led to the Industrial Revolution. Unprecedented levels of real wealth were created, from the energy surplus delivered by fossil fuels and used by machines, which could greatly outperform humans and led to the end of slavery as an institution. England was already part of a Western European trend of using the power of water in its watermills, which began during the days of the Roman Empire, but the practice flourished during the High Middle Ages. The first factories of the Industrial Revolution were in the countryside where the water power was, but as coal began to dominate energy production, industry moved to cities, which caused small towns such as Manchester to grow explosively. Early on, the mills and factories of the Industrial Revolution acted as a pull-dynamic for peasants, and they left the farms for the opportunities of the cities and factories. So, what was originally a push dynamic became a predominantly pull dynamic.

I saw that push-pull dynamic in my own family and the families of my fellow travelers. My direct ancestor migrated from Scotland in the 1730s to Pennsylvania, a decade before the final Jacobite uprising in 1745, which Clan Fraser was a prominent participant in. Life was not easy, under English domination, and the push-pressure was accompanied by the pull-opportunity of life in the New World, as Earth’s richest unplundered continent was there for the taking, once the natives were eradicated. Although my family line was Quaker from the earliest days (being on the losing end of numerous futile uprisings against the English seems to have turned my Frazier family line into pacifists), and as such, were among the first Abolitionists. However, they also took advantage of the dispossession of Native Americans, reveling in the free land that was to be had once the Indians were eliminated, and eventually migrated to Kansas in 1879, where my grandfather was born in 1907.

Life as a homesteader was not easy, and my grandfather lived in a sod hut while young. He married my grandmother in 1927 and had their first child in 1929, just as the USA’s economy began to collapse. Homesteader farming on the Great Plains was environmentally disastrous and led to the Dust Bowl, which drove my grandparents and much of their extended family from Kansas in 1933. After years of migrating, Grapes-of-Wrath-style, they ended up in Bellingham, Washington, in 1936, when my father was born. The family lived on a farm in Bellingham’s hinterland. They were desperately poor (losing a dime was a family catastrophe), and my grandfather walked all over Bellingham, looking for work. He joined the Navy as a Seabee in World War II. After the war he worked in Alaska, and sent money home to the family. He became a painter in World War II, was elected the president of the local painter’s union, and eventually moved to Seattle. I lived with them for several months in their last years atop Queen Anne Hill, in their comfortable retirement. The push of survival and the pull of opportunity was my family’s constant companion, and my father was part of the move from the farm to the city and the opportunities of industrial society. In my own lifetime, I saw that transition from farm to city, as the home where I spent most of my years growing up had a huge backyard that my parents turned into a little farm, and I was a farmhand. We raised chickens, grew crops, and even built a worm farm in that yard, which was my father’s failed bid to leave the Navy.

My partner in the energy business grew up as a migrant farmworker, was ejected from his home at age 13, as his family could no longer afford to feed him (not unusual in that culture), and his adventures began. He never went back to the farm. Similarly, my best teacher ever was raised on the family farm in North Dakota, but also escaped the farm, largely pulled by opportunity (and pushed by the lack of opportunity in farm life), and eventually became a college professor. As my family and fellow travelers migrated from agrarian to industrial life, many agrarian trappings also fell to the wayside, such as organized religion. None of my father’s family regularly attends church, to my knowledge.

In summary, push-pull dynamics likely go back billions of years in the journey of life on Earth. Both are evident in the human journey and recent history, and there will be many instances of those dynamics in this essay.

Hi:

I’ll never watch the brainwashing TV news again (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing), but I have written that my wife and I have been watching streamed TV series in recent years. I pretty much didn’t watch any TV for about 15 years, after I gave it up during my first year of college (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102), and I did not start watching TV again until my wife began watching Star Trek, The Next Generation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1808&viewfull=1#post1808), during its sixth season. I won’t watch TV with commercials, but streaming shows, particularly in this golden age of TV, are pretty close to watching movies, especially on the big screen at home. I almost never go to the movies anymore. My TV experience today is a far cry from the TV that I grew up watching. So, we often watch an hour a night of a series. The new Battlestar Galactica (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_(2004_TV_series)) was one of the best science fiction shows ever, and its creator was a Star Trek writer who was disillusioned when Voyager did not live up to its promise. So, when I heard that the same man (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_D._Moore) had produced another series, and my wife had already watched it and liked it, we began watching it. We just finished the most recent episode last night. I had no idea that the show was about my family! Not my immediate family, of course, but the Frazier family.

My grandfather (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas) was a poet of international reputation, and whatever writing ability I have likely has his genes to thank for it. His children compiled a book of his life and writings nearly 20 years ago, and I have been reading it in the wake of watching that show. My grandfather was never too keen on the nobility of our family line, calling my ancestors “horse thieves” and the like, and I well remember him saying that one of our relatives was the last person executed in the Tower of London (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Fraser,_11th_Lord_Lovat#Trial_and_execution). In that book of his writings, he repeated it, and then as I looked him up, I realized that he was depicted in that show, Outlander (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlander_(TV_series)). My family’s lore has my ancestors moving to Scotland from France to go battle on behalf of Malcom against Macbeth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macbeth,_King_of_Scotland), which has something to do with the French spelling of my name, but the Fraser family name has a dozen or so spellings of it.

That TV show was set in North Carolina in its most recent season, when my ancestor also lived in North Carolina (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#familyname). So, watching that show was an interesting experience and brought up plenty of feelings about my family’s past. Watching the show influenced my putting my family’s journey as an example in my recent section draft (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/137-This-Essay%C2%92s-Key-Ideas-and-Themes?p=1954&viewfull=1#post1954) of my big essay. My family attended a Clan Fraser gathering when I was about six (I have a picture somewhere from that gathering, of my brother and me, as we stood under the family banner).

IMO, the last thing that any of us needs is ethnic pride, and in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), such primitive aspects of humanity will vanish, along with nations, races (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), etc. But it was an interesting experience to see that quasi-fictional rendition of my family.

Wade

Hi:

To revisit push-pull dynamics (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/137-This-Essay%C2%92s-Key-Ideas-and-Themes?p=1954&viewfull=1#post1954) for a moment, my work is about the pull of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) more than the push of avoiding a global catastrophe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).  But mine is not the pull of self-interest (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), except in a very indirect way (wouldn’t I love to live in this reality (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) – just give me a day of it :) ).  Only a selfless effort has a prayer in the current environment (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches).   

In the Fifth Epoch, when life is vastly easier than it is today, most people are not going to be primarily self-serving. I think that that is easy to understand, but almost nobody on Earth will really comprehend that until the Fifth Epoch arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and that realization is going to take many forms, as the practices and ideologies of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) rapidly vanish.

The principles behind the technologies that my friend was shown (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) blow away today’s physics, which will soon be seen as quaint notions from a primitive time. That is why Brian uniformly received reactions of fear and denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) from the tops of the world’s scientific and “progressive” institutions. What Elizabeth Rauscher (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/79-Introducing-Michael-Hyson?p=1923&viewfull=1#post1923) was doing (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1946&viewfull=1#post1946) was a harbinger of Fifth Epoch science.

Ideas of ethnicity and nationality (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations) will vanish, and humanity will be one race in short order. And nobody will need to be coerced, even though deluded Young Warriors (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors) often think that that is an enlightened path. It is going to become obvious to everybody that those ideas are obsolete, just as slavery became obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend) as an institution when humanity began to industrialize. Before then, it was a hallowed institution, as old as history (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning). But if you had tried to decry the evils of slavery before industrialization, everybody would have looked at you as if you were crazy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas). Even the Utopias of pre-industrial visionaries (Plato (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_(Plato)), More (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_(book)#Book_2:_Discourse_on_Utopia)) had slaves in them.

Concepts such as money (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange) will become meaningless, in a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance). The people that I seek need to be able to think in Fifth Epoch terms while they live in the Fourth. That is no mean feat, and really has never been practically done in world history. We can see hints with shows such as Star Trek (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#trek), but they are only hints.

Wade

I barely watched Star Trek, and never had any interest in it. The Free Software Movement is my first introduction to the Fifth Epoch, and for that Stallman will always have my gratitude. In some sense even Sen, Dreze also put me on the path of being able to understand the Fifth Epoch. Everyone with todays fossil fuel energy should be able to live comfortably, that we are not is an indictment of our systems, for that understanding I have to thank Sen, Dreze, Chomsky, Stallman.

Credit should also be given to a little known GURU :)

Interesting article on Dogs, genetic differences influence behavior in dogs and I am sure in Humans
Dogs Can’t Help Falling in Love (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/22/science/dogs-love-evolution.html)

== added 5 min later ==

I started intermittent fasting and reduced refined carbs, starting eating a little more fat (butter, egg mostly), and more vegetables.

My health has improved quite a lot, and without any change in exercise dropped a few pounds.

The fasting is 24 hours (dinner, then dinner next day), my regular eating schedule is within 8 hours without snacks (lunch, dinner).

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1324708&viewfull=1#post1324708):

Yes, the Free Software Movement (http://ahealedplanet.net/freesoft.htm) is a worthy glimpse into the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), which is why I banged my head against Stallman’s walls (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130) for a month before finally giving up.

Inequality has been a hallmark of human societies since the first civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer). It is actually more extreme today, with the world’s richest people (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/jan/21/world-26-richest-people-own-as-much-as-poorest-50-per-cent-oxfam-report) commanding 140 million times as much wealth per capita as the poorest, and that does not even count the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), who are not on Oxfam’s list. Such are the wonders of a system that sanctifies greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed).

So, yes, Noam gets credit for exposing the Empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) that pretends that it isn’t one (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection). I neglected to mention yesterday that it was the anniversary of JFK’s murder. He was the least imperial president since World War II, so had to go (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower). I don’t buy all of this article (https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/11/22/remembering-john-f-kennedys-vision-for-the-future-that-should-have-been/), but I disagree with Noam that American policy did not change (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1946&viewfull=1#post1946) with JFK’s death. I am with Uncle Mike (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1444&viewfull=1#post1444) on that one.

Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) are vindicated daily, for those with eyes to see. Yesterday, I read this article (https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/11/22/ukraine-ten-talking-points-for-rational-people/) on Ukraine. Ed long wrote about Russia’s demonization (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia), all the way to the end of his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death).

I mentioned last year that my wife put me on a diet (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page11?p=1288&viewfull=1#post1288), and I was amazed by the results. Flour, sugar, and salt are all bad news for me (I gave up meat long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm), and may go vegan again one day). I am still on that mission to get back to my college weight. With all of the crazy knives that I juggle in my life, it is not easy, but I’ll keep trying. The less processed food is, the better it is for you. I’ll agree with Wrangham (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking) that we can’t go totally raw, but at least half of our diets should be.

I bought that dog book (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/132854396X/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1), thanks. It will fit into my essay revisions on domestication (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3). Big subject.

Hi:

As I recently wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=1952&viewfull=1#post1952) and this article (https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/11/22/jfk-what-the-cia-hides/) confirms, the CIA has been in CYA mode on the JFK hit from the beginning. I contacted that author, and we’ll see if anything comes of it. The JFK and Cuba angle is definitely on the right track (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower), but it is also a lot bigger than that (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big).

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

On the anniversaries of JFK’s murder, interesting articles often emerge (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=1957&viewfull=1#post1957), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page3?p=1958&viewfull=1#post1958)), and one was in USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/investigations/2019/11/21/jfk-spy-cuba-new-york-times-crozier/2425360001/), of all places. I have no doubt that Oswald was anything but a Lone Nut (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower), and that USA Today article chronicled one more spook reaction to JFK’s murder, and the “assassin’s” murder immediately afterward. The reactions were: “No way!” When Eisenhower watched Ruby (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#ruby) murder Oswald, he later said that it felt like being in a banana republic. Well, he would have known (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#guatemala1).

We have a virtually identical series of events playing out right now, as Epstein’s death has now been officially called a “suicide” that was enabled by an amazing series of coincidences (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/barr-says-epstein-died-by-a-series-of-coincidences-ending-all-conspiracy-theories-forever-9ea4c1ec47a0)! Case closed, move along, nothing to see here. Epstein’s untimely demise will certainly help Prince Andrew’s situation (https://www.businessinsider.com/prince-andrew-jeffrey-epstein-connections-videos-flights-2019-8), again, by “coincidence,” and Bill Clinton surely will never be called to account, as well as a whole slew of oligarchs (https://www.businessinsider.com/famous-people-jeffery-epstein-money-manager-sexual-trafficking-connected-2019-7).

I have no doubt that we are not being told everything about 9/11 (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11). All such official “investigations” are more cover-ups and public relations stunts than attempts to uncover the truth. That is just how power structures work. Believe me, nothing happening at the GC (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) level ever gets close to being exposed like we are seeing with the retail elite, and even that gets quickly buried, with “coincidences,” untimely deaths, and maybe a few low-level heads on platters to placate the masses, such as we see today with some of Epstein’s guards being charged. That is how it always works.

After Enron (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#enron), there was an attempt to make some accountability for the tops of organizations, but it all got watered down, as usual, and such laws are little more than window dressing today. What is coming will make the scandals of a decade ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#subprime) look like a gentle warm-up. It is all rotten to the core.

And all of that is really the small stuff. As I have written plenty, people have to come to me already awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). Work like mine can’t wake people up. They have to awaken from their personal experience, not digesting work such as mine. However, once they are awake, everything about our political-economic establishment and resulting social order is up for questioning, and what likely happened with JFK’s murder, Epstein’s “suicide,” and even events around 9/11 will not shake their sense of reality. There are also all manner of hyperventilating conspiracists, gawkers, provocateurs, etc., in the three-ring circus around those events, and that is partly intentional, to muddy the waters and make it seem like only deranged people will question the official explanations. I have watched many people dive into conspiracist rabbit holes and never emerge, or when they do, they are crazy. I have seen many people lose their sanity in these realms. You have to have your feet firmly on the ground to navigate that terrain.

Those are very real risks of navigating those milieus, and my work can help shorten the learning curve for the people that I seek. Once you have enough experience to know that the official versions of events are often fraudulent, only intended to dupe the gullible, you can begin to tiptoe into the free energy milieu, if only to sniff the air, and you will find the same insanity in that milieu that surrounds those events listed above, but amped up by a few orders of magnitude. Even though the masses are clueless, as are academics (they are often the furthest asleep, and vigilantly defend their slumbering state (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3)), the people who really run the world are not so deluded, and know full well that the energy issue is the entire ballgame. They have very carefully managed the situation, and what Ed Mitchell said about the UFO situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page3?p=416&viewfull=1#post416) equally applies to the free energy situation. They are joined at the hip (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spacemining).

Then, Brian’s life-shortening encounter (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) with the military over the UFO issue makes perfect sense, as does his reaction to my friend’s underground technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), his litany of untimely demises of free energy inventors and entrepreneurs (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), Mark’s sobering odyssey (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&highlight=comings#post811647), etc. My preposterous journey, especially my days with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), makes perfect sense, to people who are awake. And anybody who digs deeper is richly rewarded, as far as my bona fides go (and I have been able to disclose a little more lately (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799))).

For those still asleep, it all sounds insane, better avoided, and that is fine by me and even intentional on my part. I purposefully drive away people who should not digest my work. What has been called my “in your face” style is intended to blow the tops off the heads of the asleep in short order, who then run the other way as fast as they can. People cannot be seduced into waking up by catering to their egos, trying to sneak a little truth past their defenses, and like. The people that I seek need to do the work to get past all of the objections to free energy’s reality and desirability. Be skeptical, but true skepticisms means getting out of one’s easy chair and pursuing the truth, not what organized skepticism practices (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends), which is only establishment defense about 99% of the time, and I regard organized skepticism as a criminal enterprise today (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#criminal), but so is the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), the medical racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm), etc. No need to be too hard on the “skeptics.” They are merely defending the ideologies that feed them (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), as nearly all people do, almost without exception (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). It is just what a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) looks like.

Only when the people I seek get over all of those humps, or are actively climbing them, can they be of any use to an effort like mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

Time to start my busy day.

Hi:

Imagining the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) and a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) is not easy. The song of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/4-The-Song-of-Scarcity?p=10&viewfull=1#post10) plays 24/7 in our world in all corners, with few exceptions. Very few people even try to imagine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) the coming Epoch, much less help it manifest (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The song of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/26-The-Song-of-Abundance?p=37&viewfull=1#post37) is almost never heard.

So, I do what I do, making posts almost daily, trying to help readers at least imagine abundance. The dark stuff in my work is mostly to help people awaken to the reality of the world we live in, and help them understand why all previous attempts (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) to bring free energy to the world have failed. Our world is corrupt almost beyond imagining, at all levels. The GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are merely the apex predators in a political-economic jungle filled with predators. My big surprise was not that the GCs exist and are active and vigilant (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic); it was how nearly everybody eagerly helped them out, gratis. We have the GCs that we deserve. :)

The hit men and provocateurs (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 4 (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)), the lying “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends),” 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)), and prosecutors (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#lie), offers to go away (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer)), murderous officials (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes) – their existence and evil activities were not my big surprise; it was how my friends, family, and colleagues acted, beginning only a few months into my ride with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604), and it came to a crescendo in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#steal), in ways that I may never be able to publicly reveal (my mother’s antics (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492) were relatively trivial, and it didn’t even hurt when I heard about them, I was so far beyond that by that time). When I finally staggered from my home town (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), with my life in ruins, human behavior could never surprise me again. Those years during my first stint with Dennis comprised my life’s greatest learning experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and everything else has been noise. Even coming to understand that free energy and related technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) are on the planet today (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) and older than I am was the small stuff and no great surprise.

It was only after those radicalizing days that I began to hit the books, and was ready for the work of Noam, Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), and many others (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739). After more than a decade of study and writing, which still comprises the bulk of my work and the essence of my message, it was not until encountering Uncle Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) that I began to think in consciously comprehensive terms (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), and only in the past decade did I begin to think in Epochal terms (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paradigm).

What a long, strange journey it has been, and I am very sympathetic to people who struggle to understand, which is why I am here. My choir qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) were developed over many years and thousands of interactions with the public. The struggle to imagine abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#summary), as a way to help it manifest, is as worthy an effort as exists on our planet today. Not many out there are willing and able to even try, but I seek the relative few who do (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and together, we can make a difference, and maybe the critical one (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Mike Adams’s site (https://www.naturalnews.com/Index.html) was banned by Facebook (https://www.thedailybeast.com/facebook-removes-conspiracy-site-natural-news) not long ago. Adams interviewed Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors) more than once, but he wrote an article that (https://www.naturalnews.com/026116_energy_free_population.html) argued that humans are not ready for free energy. I believe that he is well-intended, but his stance ignores the potential transformative effects of tapping new energy sources (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive). The Industrial Revolution made slavery economically obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend), for one example of many. With each Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), human societies became more humane. It is like saying that humans would only use industrialization to enslave more people, as a way to argue against industrialization in 1700, when the opposite happened.

Adams’s work is definitely a mixed bag, promoting the idea that Global Warming is a hoax (https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-07-12-climate-change-hoax-collapses-new-science-cloud-cover.html), when the paper that he cited is kind of a hoax itself (https://climatefeedback.org/claimreview/non-peer-reviewed-manuscript-falsely-claims-natural-cloud-changes-can-explain-global-warming/). That lead author has been around for a long time (https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/09/breitbart-error-global-warming/), spinning dubious hypotheses that absolve humanity.

Recently, somebody sent me an article from Natural News that made some interesting claims, but when I tried to go to the source, it was just a bunch of circular references and dead links. Not a very good site, all in all, but banning it? Wikipedia predictably calls Natural News (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_News) a “fake news” site.

Facebook has now banned anything that challenges vaccination (https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-03-08-facebook-bans-all-content-on-vaccine-awareness.html). As Ed wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death), the media are the experts on making fake news, and he specifically warned about Facebook (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#facebook).

So, the fringes have their issues, but the mainstream is often worse, in its censorious style, to “protect the public,” which is the greatest protection racket on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent1). It only takes a little scientific literacy to understand the carbon dioxide (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics?p=460&viewfull=1#post460) and Global Warming issues. It is not that heavy of a lift (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797), and developments in the past generation have been increasingly alarming (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1948&viewfull=1#post1948). Global Warming is no hoax, and the whole “hoax” angle was concocted by scientists who sold their souls to the Hydrocarbon Lobby (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics?p=463&viewfull=1#post463).

A truly free Internet would let them spin their disinformation, but also allow it to be exposed for what they are. The idea that Facebook or Google are neutral platforms is false. They are media organizations that exercise editorial control, and as such, should be accountable for that. The capitalist media will always tend toward monopoly (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) and serve the interests of the rich and powerful, and Ed saw that nothing about Facebook and Google marked a fundamental change, and the effect of them may well be worse for information freedom.

But, if you step back a little ways, it is obviously the same old, same old, as greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed) and power games play out. In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), this is what we get. As long as humanity’s standard of living is dependent on our current energy sources, it will continue along this path, and all “solutions” that people advocate are mere reshufflings of the deck of scarcity (usually in their favor, “coincidentally”). Haven’t we had enough of that? :)

Retail politics is completely irrelevant, as far as ushering in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) goes (it is all for show, and American presidents are way down the food chain (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186)), the media is a lie factory (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), scientists are trapped in their paradigms (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), the “philanthropists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy)” are a bunch of phonies, as if rapacious capitalists suddenly grew big hearts when their piles got big enough, Joe Average is just trying to temporarily sate his addictions so he can punch the clock another day, as everybody pursues their self-interest (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving).

Few and far between (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) are people who can raise their awareness past those issues and dare to imagine something different, but those are the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). I long ago accepted this situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) and try to work with what I have, and hunt for those needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69).

Best,

Hi:

When did I know that I would be a voice in the wilderness? By the time that we busted Dennis out of jail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage), I knew that any American media coverage would be libelous. I began seeing it a couple of weeks after meeting Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news). In Boston, the big media didn’t cover us at all, while New England’s electric companies had secret meetings about what to do about us (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page3?p=248&viewfull=1#post248) and we received our friendly buyout offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623) and the “attaboy” calls in the night (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#white).

There was actually one small newspaper chain that covered some of our shows in Boston, and positively, and the reporter wanted to come and work for us. That was not the only time that small or alternative media was excited, but the big media was uniformly libelous, which became the case in Ventura (1 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=687&viewfull=1#post687), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707)) and afterward, to this day.

So, long before I ever heard of Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), I knew that the media would not fairly cover us. I had also learned my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), but I was also about to learn lessons on how my work would be received, which was really just a variation of my primary lesson.

When Dennis was barnstorming the country (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=422926&viewfull=1#post422926) and flying high, the sitting president was highly aware of us (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#yull), but the media would not touch us. I gave Mr. Skeptic the benefit of the doubt, until there was no more doubt about him (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#article). I give everybody a chance, but I can name that tune in about one note anymore.

I spent years in scholarly hibernation before I began publishing again, in 1999, but I had more lessons to learn. My work is about far more than free energy, and early on, I gathered fans and friends from my effort, quite a few of whom are still in my life today. But I still had lessons to learn on the insane reactions that my work elicited, and particularly from the “hip.” Forget free energy for a moment. My new pals would try to turn their “hip” pals onto my work, to only watch them go off like Roman candles. The insanity was something to behold, and even death threats accompanied some diatribes. This section (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress) in particular set them off. A few years later, not long after 9/11, I had to stop interacting with the public (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), as the insanity and viciousness increased by an order of magnitude, as Americans completely lost it in the wake of 9/11.

So, about 20 years ago, I realized that very few people could read my work without going off the deep end. Americans were the worst, largely because my writings were prominently about the USA, but even for those whose nationalistic delusions were not threatened by my work, I began to see how even the “left” and “progressives” could not really understand my work. Noam’s polite brushoff in 1993 gave me a preview, and as the years went on, I gradually realized how difficult it was to understand my work, even for people who wanted to, and few did.

After I published my site largely as it stands today, in 2002, I was introduced to Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), and the comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) lightbulb finally went on for me. I began interacting with big names (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130)), even those who seemed like they would be interested, and I almost never found any takers. One of the few was Bill Ryan. He was writing about my work back around 2001, but we never interacted until my Camelot interview (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm), which will always be my favorite, as Brian was part of it. When I created my table of free energy awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart), it was after many years and thousands of interactions, and I pretty much made it off the top of my head, as those categories of awareness were so familiar to me by then. NEM (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), interviews (http://ahealedplanet.net/public.htm#interviews), Avalon (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=91260&viewfull=1#post91260), and the like (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=639&viewfull=1#post639) were just icing on the cake. Almost nobody on Earth is willing and able to understand my work and learn to hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). I accepted it long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), and keep plunking along, seeking those needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). I know what I am looking for (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), but it will be another walk in the desert. I am OK with that. I found a few oases and some of those that I sought. I may have another 30 good years ahead of me, and we’ll see how it goes. The biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) takes a little work. :)

Best,

Wade

I was thinking of Noam Chomsky just the other day, as I was contemplating the ways in which people are being subjected to manipulation through the media.

Recently I read someone (who I know personally) comment on social media that it was right for big tech companies to increase their censorship of 'conspiracy theories' and 'fake news.' It baffles me (on some level) that people look around and see war, poverty, environmental destruction, and people working harder for longer hours for a pay that buys them less - yet would choose to trust the very same government, and big corporate culture that has failed to fix that, with discerning what is worthy news or information and what is not. It's like trusting a convicted, salivating thief with guarding your treasure.

A quote I've often seen attributed to Noam :

“If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.”

In a world of language, freedom of speech is inextricably linked with freedom of thought. And freedom with words is a treasure worth safeguarding.

Deliberate or not, debates over 'hate' speech can have the effect of a magician applying misdirection – guiding you to focus your gaze on a path to nowhere. Or (in a world of polarity) a path that has you chasing your tail into the ground instead of searching the stars both within and above.

Recently Greta Thunberg has risen to fame (with considerable assistance) and whatever the agenda of those aiding or funding her rise, her anger and grief at the destruction of the ecosystems represents a very real fear, felt by many children who are trying to understand their future. Some are being convinced, via a culture of doom, that all is lost. I feel for them immensely. I recall a similar kind of fear in my childhood, when I saw the news repeatedly showing increasing damage to the environment, without balancing it with coverage of potential and groundbreaking solutions.

The other day a beautiful young girl with a bright soul said to me, pensively, that she thought humanity was a virus on the earth. I told her, gently, that I used to think that way even when I was older than her. But now I see that most people are so mired in struggling to survive within a rigged system that they barely have space in their lives to search their own potential. That those same people would be glad of solutions and embrace them, if only they were not suppressed. Most of us, given room to breathe and to flourish, would choose life and not destruction. Because it is built into our spirit. That, to me, is not magical thinking. It is logic in play.

Yesterday I opened up an old montage / painting project I've been sketching in visualising a future earth, and whilst doodling I listened to a recent broadcast from James Gilliland, where he advised :

“Get out of reactionary mind and into creationary mind and start creating the new world you want to see”

(Just as you yourself have been advocating for years Wade.)

The synchronicity made me smile.

Then this evening I was listening to a Jordan Maxwell interview. Jordan, who seems to be a man of incredible fortitude and intellectual substance, has been known for his weary view of earth humanity's future if it continues on a path of negligence and ignorance. But in the interview which I came across tonight, he said :

“I do believe in God, I do believe in the presence of a spirit in the universe. There's no doubt in my mind about it. Perhaps that one will step in and save us as a last resort if we start waking up and doing something ourselves to show the great spirit that we don't want this any longer.”

You've written of how cities as we know them will become obsolete in the fifth epoch.

I imagine cities of the future, where they exist, as something else. Not bound together by the need for proximity to and concentration of material resources in the context of a slave culture. But drawn together with purity, based on resonance of minds and sharing of creative spirit, to amplify higher frequencies of collaboration. In harmony with parts of the earth, perhaps, that assist that frequency. Where large groups of people come together by choice. For creativity, not survival. And those cities could be made of vessels that can move, themselves made of materials that are in no way harmful to the land or living beings.

Not saying it's a masterpiece, but below is a crystalline city I imagined, bridging higher, more beautiful dimensions. A community that is rooted in, bonded with, a brave and supernal essence. Nurturing a hub of wisdom and integrity, sincerity and upliftment. Where the air and the water glisten with truth, stemming from the meaning and the feeling in hearts, in minds, in words. Filled with lush foods for the body and soul, sublime music and scientific enquiry. Libraries of ancient experience and psychic insights. Drawing heaven to earth as we roam beneath the sky, dreaming in the wild.

Thousands of souls, choosing love. “A thousand times a day.” (Words I believe I borrow from Michael Roads. He crafts ideas with words like jewels in the spirit realm. Left glowing in the psyche.)

Much love

Hi Bill (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1325336&viewfull=1#post1325336):

That interview is over ten years old, how time flies. I found myself reading the transcript (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm), for the first time in years, and it is actually better than I remember it. I was a little surprised at how much it foreshadowed my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm), in ways that I thought that I did not begin doing until a few years later. But there it is, in print, to correct my feeble memory. You, Kerry, and Brian were really good participants. Lots of savoir faire there. An essay update, likely followed by a book, and then more visibility work, is slated over the next few years. We’ll see how that goes.

I was just discussing Brian with my nephew a few minutes ago. How I miss Brian.

Hi Melinda (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1325416&viewfull=1#post1325416):

That crystal city is a close cousin to cities in this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748). Yes, cities as we know them will vanish in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), as well as most of today’s world. Noam can be seen making that free speech statement in Manufacturing Consent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent_(film)), I believe, but you can see the transcript of Noam saying it here (http://www.jmm.org.au/articles/14177.htm).

Yes, as Brian said, combined positive intention (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) is the key.

Hi:

One reason why I post nearly every day is so that my readers can see what it is like to do something like this. I post on good days, bad days, and catastrophic days, which I have had plenty of in the past nine years. Quite a few people close to me have died in recent years, which comes with the territory of living into one’s 60s, and it has not just been older generations, as I have buried several people close to me that I was older than, and violent ends have been met. I have been on the receiving end of criminal activity and other outrages, and have even had to face the prospect of homelessness. I doubt that it will happen, but the prospect has been there, in our insane world, in history’s richest and most powerful nation.

I like to think that every post has a note or two in it, so that the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) are encouraged to muster something once in a while with some notes in it. I certainly don’t expect anybody to “compete” with me on the posting front, but a ringleader needs to set the pace.

In the USA, today is Thanksgiving. It has its roots in the harvest festivals that typified agrarian societies, but the USA’s version has some very dark roots (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#thanksgiving). Nevertheless, on a day like today, I think about what I can be grateful for, and there is plenty. I have had more than my fair share of personal disasters, and many of them were related to my journey, such as having no contact today with my immediate family, and I don’t plan to ever have it again. But I also have many people in my life that has made my life a much richer experience than I would have dared to think possible long ago. I have many loving relationships. If you had told me in 1990, as I staggered from my home town (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), that I would have a global audience and would have created the comprehensive work that I have (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm), I would have considered it a nice fantasy, but here I am. I get to hike in a glorious part of Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm), and have had my fair share in this lifetime.

I have many more allies than you see post on my threads, and one day, more of them may join the party. As I look back at my life, through all that I have been through, I have to be grateful for where I sit today and what opportunities that I have ahead of me, to make a dent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and I am taking an unprecedented approach that I think has a chance to help. Sometimes I step back and take it in with awe, that I actually have this opportunity. That voice (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3) sent me through the meat grinder, but I did ask for it, kind of. :) So, today, I am grateful, and try to be grateful each day, although some days are easier than others. :)

Best,

Hi:

Before I begin my busy day, I was just reading Noam’s interview with Pilger (http://www.jmm.org.au/articles/14177.htm), which I linked to recently (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1325457&viewfull=1#post1325457), and I recalled Noam’s early days of Vietnam protests, in which his audience was four people in somebody’s living room, one of whom wanted to kill him. It is another reminder that the size of the audience is not the measure of an effort’s worth.

I am still in the phase of making my work as good as I can, for a message that is unprecedented in ways. I really don’t expect my work to make any sense to the general public (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink) until free energy makes its appearance. That is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). Only afterward will it begin to make any sense to the masses. But I do seek people that can make sense out of it today, but I don’t kid myself that they stand on every corner. They are going to be few and far between (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). Those are just the numbers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). Training the first people is always the hardest. The others will come easier, but that might also not come until after my days on Earth are ended. I am OK with that, as my path has been partly about teaching me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :)

Best,

Hi:

I often get reminded of the journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm) that I am on. I recently wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=1964&viewfull=1#post1964) about why I do what I do in my public work. To a large degree, I am trying to overcome the limitations of this medium, and be as real as I can to my readers. If you met me in person, you would quickly gain a number of impressions of me. One would be, “This guy is a nerd!” And you would be right. You would notice a single-minded intensity that bordered on autism, and indeed, I am in the autism spectrum somewhere, although closer to normal than Bill Gates (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates) is, for instance. Oh, the Gates stories I could tell. I have been also “diagnosed” as a hyper-empath, which may be related to my emotional-centering in this lifetime (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading).

You could also tell that certain subjects set me off (and I generally try to avoid those, such as newcomer bright ideas (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) for making free energy happen, which I find myself constantly discouraging people from, and that gets tiring, like continually dissuading somebody from committing suicide), and that I can go on for hours on a topic, although the conversation might veer into many seeming tangents before it got back on track. You would see that I have an ego, and might even call me arrogant, but also somebody who does not take himself too seriously (who calls himself a fat old man these days). But you would also call me a Boy Scout (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) who is always going to do the right thing, and is generous and honest to a fault, but you might have to see me in action for some time before you arrived at that conclusion.

If you knew me 40 years ago, you might have called me naïve (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), a rube, and even a racist (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racist). The racism and naïveté are long gone, but the rube part might still shine through at times. You would not want me to lead a board meeting or a rally. You would see a wry but gentle sense of humor, and my high “intelligence” and photographic memory would quickly be evident (although not what it used to be), and I would also seem to be a recluse, avoiding a lot of human contact, and I might seem impatient at times, which might be my greatest cross to bear.

That is just all part of the baggage of being a human in my particular time and culture, with the attributes that my soul chose for this lifetime (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). As I think back at my life, which I do each day, many parts make me cringe, but I am also on some kind of mission (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3), with a very specific vision of what I am trying to help manifest, and I am trying to be worthy of that vision (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), so that I can promote it instead of hamper it. I have had a tall task to make that vision clear, and not cloud it with some kind of personal agenda or personal failing. I have had a lot of help from my friends, and could not have done it without them. I have been gnawing on this particular bone since I was 16 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse).

Somehow, I found a role as a spear-carrier and biographer of the great (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), 5 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), 6 (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm)), and it has been an honor and pleasure. But I also have a very specific message that is not easy to digest, for a few reasons. While my message requires some mental horsepower to digest, what I have noticed is that wanting to digest it is far more important. If somebody does the work, and has an IQ of at least 110 or so, they can arrive at sufficient understanding (the scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) required and complexity of the comprehensive nature (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/63-Developing-a-Comprehensive-Perspective?p=82&viewfull=1#post82) of my work seems to demand it – I wish that it wasn’t so, but it appears to be the case). The hard part for people is giving up their indoctrination and conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), so that they can begin to truly see. But very few people on Earth today (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) are willing to do that, as they cherish their in-group status (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) and are not about to do anything to jeopardize it, as that is how they survive in our world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). Awakening past my conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) was a traumatic process. I am sympathetic to those who want to stay asleep (who don’t even realize that they are asleep), and I leave them to their slumbers. When free energy arrives, and not before (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), then they will begin to awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), and I gave up any judgment of the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) long ago. Work like mine will not work on the sleeping.

I am a lot closer to the end of my life than the beginning of it, and am trying to do the best that I can with my remaining years. I don’t know if my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will work. Oh, I know that it would work, if I found enough people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) who did the work, but that is going to be the hard part. The Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is not so far off, if enough people can simply imagine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) it. If not me, then another can make this approach work, but it won’t be that easy. However, for helping the biggest event in the human journey manifest, it will be a worthwhile effort, even if the effort I am mounting only contributes on the order of 0.01% of the total effort, but it might be far greater than that. I have yet to see anybody else come close to the approach that I am taking, and it is worth one man’s life to try it out. No regrets.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As I wrote in my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy/page2?p=1966&viewfull=1#post1966), I am constantly reminded about my journey. I am also constantly reminded about my task at hand and how hard it is for people to understand, even people who want to.

The general population possesses neither the sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience) nor integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) to support a free energy effort. I learned that lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why) the hard way during my first stint with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), and I resisted it every step of the way until it was beaten into my head in no uncertain terms. I constantly get free energy newcomers who deny that reality as they rush out to proselytize to their social circles and scale the ramparts, and the best of them come back to me, chastened by the experience, usually with tales of indifference and ostracism. It is not a pretty reality, but it is the reality of the planet that we live on today.

There is a kind of Third/Fourth Epoch populism ideal that dominates the idea of public action, but it won’t work for this. Been there, done that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), too many times. The perils and temptations are too great for Joe Average, who is all about pursuing his immediate self-interest and maybe attending to the welfare of members of his in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup). The so-called “philanthropists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy)” are a bunch of phonies, trying to remove the bloodstains from their ill-gotten fortunes, all of the “progressives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2)” are committed to their frames of reference (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), which are founded upon scarcity and organizational survival, and they have all sold out, to one degree or another, and the world’s governments (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1) answer to higher powers and actively attack free energy efforts on behalf of their patrons. I long ago realized that any successful effort will have to roll its own. No extant organization is going to help.

The GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are merely the apex predators in a world filled with predators and prey. Free energy inventors are all trying to get rich and famous, and the entire free energy field is in a state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), with its focus on inventors and scientists.

This is all just the reality of the world we live in, no matter how much naïve (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) would-be activists wish it was otherwise. I long ago gave up the idea of judging any of it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), and try to work with what I have. I believe that humanity can awaken past egocentrism and truly become a sentient species in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), but it won’t happen before then (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink).

Make no mistake: my endgame is delivering free energy to humanity. I make my strategy very clear in my work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus), but I still encounter people who fail to understand, who even proclaim familiarity with my work. With a choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) and the “do-something (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers)” people that it will attract and guide, making free energy happen will be easy, and it won’t matter what the GCs do, and they will likely slink away.

Also, the ranks of the GCs are divided (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal), and one faction gave a pal a little peek into their Golden Hoard (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and it is very possible that if a choir can form and attract the “do something” people, that it will have enough credibility that it will be given the free energy and other technology that ushers in the Fifth Epoch. I am not counting on that, but it is certainly possible. But, the effort that I am mounting has to be prepared to do it the hard way.

This really should not be hard to understand, but I am continually surprised by people who don’t and seem to refuse to, some of whom even proclaim familiarity with the milieu and my material. This helps teach me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :)

Best,

Hi:

As with so many areas of science and scholarship, the controversy over the history of human warfare is intense, and I have spent a great deal of time in recent years digesting it. I am about to draft the changes to various sections of my big essay to reflect that study, going back to chimps up to the Industrial Revolution.

On warfare’s antiquity, there are two basic camps: the long and short chronologies, AKA the hawks and the doves, and the long chronology has also been called the “deep roots (https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/chimp-guy-knocks-baboon-guys-upbeat-view-of-human-war/)” hypothesis. My sense is that the hawks are going to win the argument. There is a rich scientific literature on this subject, and I recently did a dive on a key arena for this argument: Australia. For the issue of endemic hunter-gatherer warfare, there is likely no better specimen than Australia before the English invaded (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tasmania), as Australians never adopted agriculture, although it has been speculated to have possibly developed around the Murray River (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_River).

The dean of the doves is Douglas Fry, and a chapter of The Human Potential for Peace (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0195181778/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i4) deals with Aboriginal Australia. Chapters of Violence and Warfare Among Hunter-Gatherers (https://www.amazon.com/Violence-Warfare-among-Hunter-Gatherers-Allen/dp/161132940X/ref=sr_1_16?qid=1575295795&refinements=p_27%3AMark+W+Allen&s=books&sr=1-16&text=Mark+W+Allen) deal with the issue, as well as portions of Constant Battles (https://www.amazon.com/Constant-Battles-Peaceful-Noble-Savage/dp/0312310897/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1575295901&refinements=p_27%3ASteven+Le+Blanc&s=books&sr=1-1&text=Steven+Le+Blanc). The contrasts between the doves and hawks can be stunning. Fry’s work is much less scientific than those other works, and was pretty disappointing, all in all. Fry’s entire chapter was based on selected ethnographic accounts, which are when white people encountered or studied the aborigines and wrote about them. The chapter was all about how peaceful the aborigines were and their peacemaking systems. Noam provided a blurb for War, Peace, and Human Nature (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0190232463/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1), which is one of my areas of disagreement with Noam.

A chapter of Violence and Warfare Among Hunter-Gatherers (https://www.amazon.com/Violence-Warfare-among-Hunter-Gatherers-Allen/dp/161132940X/ref=sr_1_16?qid=1575295795&refinements=p_27%3AMark+W+Allen&s=books&sr=1-16&text=Mark+W+Allen) examined the skeletal evidence, which gave mute testimony to the awesome violence that the aborigines engaged in. The chapter examined in particular arm and skull fractures. The arm fractures were “parry fractures” in which a person’s forearm was broken when a blow aimed at the head was parried. From all parts of Australia, hundreds of skeletons were examined, and 4% of the men and 5% of the women had parry fractures. The left arms had twice as many fractures, as they parried blows from right-handed assailants.

The skull fractures were called cranial depression fractures, in which the skull took a blow that dented the skull (with the left side again favored). More than 21% of the men had skull fractures and more than 36% of the women, and 10% of the women had their skulls broken more than once. In some regions, more than 70% of the men or women had broken skulls.

The women’s treatment reflected the aborigines’ patrilocal cultures (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), in which women were considered property, to be treated as the men pleased. So, the women’s injuries were largely inflicted by their “husbands,” while the men’s injuries were inflicted by other men. The hawks took great exception to how Fry and friends sliced and diced hunter-gatherer violence into categories such as “feuding” and “homicides,” and pretty much defined warfare for hunter-gatherers out of existence.

Both Fry and the hawks discussed the findings of W. Lloyd Warner, who studied aborigines in northern Australia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yir-Yoront), and while Fry criticized Warner’s lumping the categories of violence together, what Fry did not discuss was that Warner’s study showed that 25% of the men died violently in that region. That accords well with other hunter-gatherer data from across the world, as well as village farmers in the New Guinea Highlands and elsewhere. In the pre-contact New Guinea Highlands (“undiscovered” until the 1930s), which is the ultimate pristine instance of subsistence farming, about 30% of the societies went extinct each century due to warfare.

Keith Otterbein (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page7?p=873&viewfull=1#post873) is still about the only anthropologist that I have seen who compared patrilocal with matrilocal cultures, particularly regarding how violent they were. In some horticultural and fishing cultures, women got the economic upper hand as they delivered more calories than the men did, and those societies became matrilocal. Those are the human journey’s most peaceful preindustrial cultures. Women just aren’t as murderous as men are.

Fry’s Australia work was greatly weakened by only dealing with ethnographic accounts, LeBlanc’s work (https://www.amazon.com/Constant-Battles-Peaceful-Noble-Savage/dp/0312310897/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1575295901&refinements=p_27%3ASteven+Le+Blanc&s=books&sr=1-1&text=Steven+Le+Blanc) is the kind of multidisciplinary work that towers above work such as Fry’s, and the hawks study the evolutionary aspects of the human line and warfare.

As LeBlanc clearly showed in his studies, including intensive fieldwork in the American Southwest and Fertile Crescent, when there was plenty, there was peace. LeBlanc showed how the Mimbres culture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogollon_culture#Mimbres_branch) thrived during the Medieval Warm Period (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wmp1), as the population grew by 500% while the previous endemic warfare disappeared. When the droughts of the Little Ice Age (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age) came, warfare flourished and the population collapsed.

LeBlanc’s team studied the entire trajectory, from AD 200 to 1400. The early settlers farmed the fertile Mimbres Valley (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimbres_River) floor and hunted deer and other large animals, but as the large animals went extinct, then cottontail rabbits became the meat staple, and farming expanded upward along the sides of the valley, into more marginal lands as the population exploded. The region saw its Golden Age at the height, between 900 and 1150, which was the peak of the Medieval Warm Period, when the magnificent structures at Chaco Canyon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaco_Culture_National_Historical_Park) were built. The native practices were far from sustainable, and the entire region was deforested and became more arid, and jackrabbits replaced cottontails in the native diet. By 1200, the Medieval Warm Period was waning, the population began to collapse, warfare began to flourish, and entire settlements were massacred. By 1400, the Mimbres Valley was completely uninhabited. LeBlanc’s work shows how that was a typical pattern globally, and particularly in the Fertile Crescent during the early days of agriculture.

The bottom line was that preindustrial peoples never had any incentive to limit their numbers, and always bred to the land’s carrying capacity, which severely degraded the land’s carrying capacity while it wrecked the ecosystems. When resources got scarce, it got violent. That is going to be the gist of my work on the subject. It is already in my big essay, but will become more explicit.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

To my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/25-Chapter-18-Humanity%C2%92s-Second-Epochal-Event-The-Super-Predator-Revolution?p=1968&viewfull=1#post1968), the hawks and doves are united in that warfare is a problem that both are trying to solve. As Tony Bennett (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bennett#2006%E2%80%93present:_Bennett_continues_to_perform) said, warfare is the “lowest form of human behavior.” The hawks have noted that hunter-gatherer and village farming cultures have quickly given up war when given a reason to, and it has always been an economic reason, generally when introduced to Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) goods.

Men and women have been wired, to an extent, for their societal roles, with women rearing children and men fighting battles (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc/page2?p=1871&viewfull=1#post1871). This is all highly relevant to my vision for the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). There will certainly be idiot men and dark pathers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) whose first inclination will be to make weapons with free energy. But the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) likely already have ways to prevent that (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), and that is where the peacekeeping grandmothers come in (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping).

I think that efforts to prevent people from trying to weaponize free energy technology (or strip-mine Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mining) with it) will only need to last for a generation or so, and even the stupidest Young Warriors (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors) will finally understand. Jesus’s prophecy that humanity will learn to leave war behind will finally come to pass. Warfare will soon be seen to be as stupid as playing Russian roulette is, and nobody will need to be reminded anymore. The same will go for crime. Those behaviors simply won’t make sense any longer. Greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed) will no longer run the show, our cherished ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) will fade to oblivion, and this kind of world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) becomes feasible.

In the first generation of the Fifth Epoch, many people are going to keep singing the song of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/4-The-Song-of-Scarcity?p=10&viewfull=1#post10), as it is baked pretty deeply into the human animal, but people will quickly begin to realize that the song no longer makes any sense, and it will go into the dustbin of history, like slavery did (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend). People are quite capable of leaving behind the “ideals” of previous epochs, when they become obsolete. Adapting to abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) should not pose too many problems. :)

Hi:

I am not the only person (https://thegrayzone.com/2019/11/27/operation-condor-2-coup-trump-nicaragua-mexico/) calling what is happening in South America a revival of Operation Condor (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=1953&viewfull=1#post1953). The USA is overthrowing governments right and left. We really are the greatest force of evil on Earth. Nobody else can come close to our bloody record since World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection), and hiring all of the useful Nazis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page13?p=1472&viewfull=1#post1472) was only a sign of things to come. Assange’s treatment (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731) is just more of the same for our fascist makeover. As bad as Trump is, Hillary would have likely started World War III by now (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page19?p=1930&viewfull=1#post1930).

It is really something to be an American who is awake to what is happening. Being awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) is not easy, but it beats being asleep. All that we take with us is our awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#afterlife). Long ago, before I was truly awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765), I read Yogananda’s biography (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobiography_of_a_Yogi), in which he asked his guru about how easy it seemed to just shuffle along with the herd, with one’s head in the sand, grabbing another beer. His guru replied that while it may seem attractive to live that way, such people slept the fitful sleep of ignorance. I did not really understand that observation until many years later. Extremely few Americans are awake to the slightest degree, and Americans have not been my target audience since about 2004. Almost nobody is home, in history’s most brainwashed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing) population. Caitlin Johnstone regularly exposes our propaganda system and those who defend it, such as here (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/11/28/attacking-the-source-the-establishment-loyalists-favorite-online-tactic/), and Matt Taibbi now carries the mantle of chief media critic in the mainstream, such as here (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/baghdadi-trump-washington-post-headline-fox-news-904945/). Enjoy them while you can.

The GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are merely the masters of a game that is being played at all levels of Earth’s political-economic systems (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), and Brian’s question of whether humanity is a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) is a fair one. But it would take relatively few people to right the ship (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus). That’s my game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). But we have to be awake, first. :)

Hi:

It is metrics time. Probably today sometime, my Avalon thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=91260&viewfull=1#post91260) will go over 2.6 million views. It is mostly bot traffic, but plenty of humans are also readers, and I hope that you all get something worthwhile from the experience. I have met many pals through Avalon, and I’ll never have another forum experience quite like it.

Hi:

When I think about what I am doing, I can see that I am following the prescription of one of my first mystical mentors (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist): the means become the ends. I am trying an approach that will be worthy of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

The closest thing that there has ever been to free energy on the market was Dennis’s program for selling his heat pump, as he put the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on customers’ homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs). It is still the most brilliant and benevolent business strategy that I ever witnessed or heard of, and Dennis has been portrayed as a criminal since I met him (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601). He is by far the greatest human that I will ever know, and he has been continually vilified in the popular culture. Orwell (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#orwell) was so right.

Dennis thought that he could make a win-win-win situation happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1) (as did Sparky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2)), but what he did not count on was that the electric companies were being dishonest with their conservation rhetoric. Dennis was delivering more conservation than they had in mind. The disinformation campaigns (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707), which featured a lying “skeptic (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#article),” combined with attacks from government and private-interest hit men and women (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#pinch), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 5 (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), 6 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#prosecutor), 7 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care), 8 (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc)), were effective. Those were just all aspects 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). Every time that Dennis’s companies were stolen (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), the thieves promptly threw away Dennis’s “crazy” marketing plans, because he was not going for the quick capitalistic kill, but the thieves (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604) were too stupid and greed-blinded (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed) to understand that his marketing programs were what made it all work.

So, I am trying to mount an effort of unprecedented sentience and integrity, in which history’s most lucrative technology (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion) will be given to humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers). Those who accomplish the task that I have in mind will have to attain a big-picture awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) and be able to visualize the Fifth Epoch, for starters. Otherwise, they won’t be able to help me navigate the minefields to the finish line, as they will get lost or become casualties. What I am doing will never become popular until it delivers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), because I am not appealing to people’s immediate self-interest, and advocate something that almost nobody can even imagine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) today. The people that I seek are going to be very rare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), with unusual qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69). They are not superhuman traits by any means, but just rare today. In the Fifth Epoch, they will be the norm, but in our world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), such people are needles in haystacks. I stopped judging any of that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) long ago, and am just trying something that might work, and which is in alignment with that mystical advice from so long ago.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As I begin to write a pretty significant revision on Second (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2) and Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) peoples and warfare, which will stretch all the way back to chimps and up to just before civilizations formed (I guess that we could call it prehistoric warfare), the treatment of women is going to be prominent. When chimps would slaughter their neighbors (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), as they drove the neighboring society to extinction, they often incorporated the fertile females and killed everybody else. Bonobos (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) are the great exception, as they are not only female-dominated, but nobody ever kills an infant, which was standard procedure among chimps and many other primate species. It was an economic effect, basically food-prevalence, which enabled the bonobo transformation.

In hunter-gatherer societies, they were all patrilocal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), and disputes over women, including their capture, was one of the greatest reasons for warfare.

In early farming villages, it got worse. Slaughtering entire villages and abducting their women was an endemic issue for early villages, but only the patrilocal ones. In matrilocal cultures, such behavior was unknown. When Europeans invaded the Eastern Woodlands (which had matrilocal societies), the natives never raped captured women (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#rape), which was nearly incomprehensible to the Europeans, in which raping captured women was standard practice, from the earliest days of the New World’s invasion (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#rape).

Long ago, when I understood the chimp pattern of genocide and infanticide, I thought that such a practice would not work for people, as a woman was unlikely to mate with the murderer of her children, but I was wrong. It happened all the time in those raids of farming villages.

I suspect that captured members of neighboring societies are where slavery came from, in patrilocal farming villages. It really took off with the rise of civilization, however. The first written laws (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#akkadian) were notably concerned with the treatment of slaves.

Big subjects, a lot to write, and I need to get cracking on it.

Wade

Hi:

I don’t know how it happened, but I got on the mailing list of a Velikovskian journal, which promotes stuff like the Electric Universe. I just got something this morning from them. I snooped into Velikovsky’s stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky) long ago and never really bought any of it, although Velikovsky was shabbily treated by many, including Carl Sagan (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan), which is how I stumbled into it. Others far more qualified than me have dealt with Electric Universe theorizing (https://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/p/challenges-for-electric-universe.html). Brian O never sang Velikovsky’s praises.

A difficult aspect of what I do is that Dennis was a poor spokesman for the science behind the technologies that we were involved with when I was with him. Dennis does not have a scientific background. Dennis was a promoter and entrepreneur, not a scientist. That said, he understood his heat pump better than many scientists and engineers who worked for him, such as Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#testify). I often cringed when Dennis tried to explain the science behind what he promoted. He could fail badly even when trying to explain his heat pump’s performance (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new).

My jury is still out on whether Mr. Mentor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) or Victor Fischer’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer) hydraulic heat engines could make free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry) with the panels (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#panel) from Dennis’s heat pump. But that does not mean that their engines were not profound breakthroughs in wringing more useful energy from a fuel source. Those men were no slouches, nor was 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). He was not the only rocket scientist (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799) from my childhood. You will never find any of Dennis’s debunkers (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) mention Mr. Mentor or Owen or the fact that Dennis put the world’s best heating system on people’s homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs).

Sparky Sweet (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#sweet) was the real deal, as was his free energy gizmo, but Sparky epitomized the naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) of scientists, mailing working prototypes of his gizmo to the energy institutions, expecting the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2). It was as naïve as Dennis’s thinking that he would get a tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1) from the electric companies for delivering his heat pump to the Seattle market. Or as naïve as Mark’s thinking that he could sneak past them (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&highlight=comings#post811647) with his free energy prototype. Or as naïve as Brian’s thinking that he could put on a UFO conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) and not suffer any consequences, which turned out to be life-shortening. We all lost our naïveté honestly, but Sparky, for instance, continued to play right into their hands by playing secrecy games with his technology. That is a huge loser of an approach. Greer is still surprisingly naïve about key aspects of the free energy field, such as his $100K reward for a working free energy prototype. There are higher bidders. :) He knows that all too well (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff), so his stances are mystifying at times, and his fervor over that supposed alien corpse (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ata-6-inch-alien-sirius_n_3246330) is kind of bizarre and really makes me wonder about him, aside from his flexing biceps. We all have our idiosyncrasies, which is part of what makes us human (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy/page2?p=1966&viewfull=1#post1966).

But Dennis’s religious fervor, scientific illiteracy, and promoter’s ways, Sparky’s secrecy games, Greer’s odd predilections, Bearden’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden) right-wing paranoia (which isn’t all paranoia), Brian’s Lapis Pig (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=949&viewfull=1#post949) and the like should not detract from the hard science and technology issues, and they are very real (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). These are difficult subjects to navigate.

I have made it very clear what a propaganda mill the media is (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), and Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) did a lot of impeccable work to show that. They have been smeared ever since (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia), and Noam is the most famous intellectual on Earth, and his and Ed’s media work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) is unassailable. So, how hard is it to smear Dennis and Brian over something far more unorthodox? I have made it very clear what kind of historical fairy tales that was raised with (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), the lies of my capitalist indoctrination (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), what a racket Western medicine is (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#system), and so on (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets). For those with eyes to see, the terrain is pretty clear.

These issues are all part of why getting to the finish line that I have in mind (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is so difficult. Vanishingly few (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) have the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) for the task in the first place, and for those who begin the walk to a comprehensive awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), particularly around the free energy conundrum (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#summary), a million pitfalls (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls) await, and I have watched them swallow up countless people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). Getting to where they can become useful for an effort like mine is like walking the razor’s edge. It has taken a lifetime to get to where I am today, and my work is not for quick-study artists. It takes time and effort, at minimum, but it isn’t dull. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I just realized that Uncle Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) turned 91 today. He still teaches and keeps going strong. Incredible, and along with Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) and Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), they are my inspirations to keep going as long as I can. We’ll see if I can squeeze 30 more good years out of this orange.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

In Ed’s writings, such as when he wrote about the recent propaganda barrage about Russia and Ukraine (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia), he remarked that although his audience might be relatively small, the task of exposing the media’s lies was still worthwhile, even though it might seem like Ed was a voice in the wilderness.

Ed wrote about “Golden Silences (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#kibeho)” in the media, in which far more newsworthy events than what was on the media’s news cycle passed in complete silence, such as genocide inflicted by a client state (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#kamm). One of those picking up Ed’s mantle is Caitlin Johnstone, and her recent article (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/12/06/fake-news-by-omission%e2%80%8a-%e2%80%8athe-mass-medias-cowardly-distortion-tool/) on the media’s silence around the truth behind a recent propaganda barrage – Syria’s alleged use of chemical weapons, which I knew was a lie from the moment I heard about it (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=1953&viewfull=1#post1953) – is something that Ed could have written (although their styles are very different, obviously). I told Ed that the shoes that he would leave behind would be insanely large to fill (and he replied that they weren’t empty yet! (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project?p=1098&viewfull=1#post1098) :) ), but some of us are trying. When Noam passes, probably in the next 20 years sometime ( :) ), he will take his place with Socrates, Newton, and Einstein in the history of Western thought. He is the last man standing from his circle of pals, and his passing will truly be the end of an era.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

A little bit more on awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). Until people have been on the receiving end of smear campaigns (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#deputy), 3 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel), 5 (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), 6 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia)), with the media making it up as it went along (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=687&viewfull=1#post687), replete with libelous headlines (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707), been on the receiving end of troll attacks (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), 2 (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=385252)), and then the admins pile on with them (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=639&viewfull=1#post639) (even erasing their work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1368&viewfull=1#post1368)), been in Kangaroo Court (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681), have had hit men sicced on them (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#pinch), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 5 (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), 6 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care), 7 (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc)), have witnessed their associates repeatedly try to steal their companies (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient3), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#steal)), have had officials repeatedly try to have them murdered (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), to burying their associates (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), it is not easy to understand what those situations are like.

But people don’t have to go through all of those experiences to wake up. One of them can be sufficient, and then the others are far easier to comprehend without having to live them. I did not have to go to prison to understand that the officials actively tried to have Dennis murdered (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes). I know that I can barely understand what Dennis survived, but I sure don’t doubt the reality of any of it. If they made a movie of Dennis’s life, almost nobody would believe any of it, from his migrant farmer background to leaving home at 13 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), to Vietnam (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=778&viewfull=1#post778), to mafia hit attempts (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=577&viewfull=1#post577), 2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=606213&viewfull=1#post606213)), to his early business adventures to his ordeal in his home state (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run), which was all before it really began to get interesting (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601).

I was there for the first friendly buyout offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), and did not need to be there to understand the CIA’s billion dollar offer to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), before we had the boom lowered on us (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail). By the time that I heard about Sparky Sweet (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#sweet) and my pal’s underground technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173), my reaction was about like, “So, what else is new?,” which was about Brian’s reaction (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) to hearing about it. Being asked/ordered to go to Mars (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars) was only an amusing footnote to our journeys.

We all lost our naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) honestly, if we survived the experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). But I am continually approached by people who are naïve, who can’t quite get to the awareness needed to help what I am doing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), who have not quite woken up, as they get stuck in their ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) and lack of experience, as the stark reality of the world that we live in is just too far around the corner for them. You can’t see it from the cubicle or by surfing the Internet (or watching TV :) ), or even by studying my work. I hand out homework, so that people can maybe get there without going through a meat grinder. I often hear from fringe enthusiasts who continually propose their bright ideas, which are all paths to disaster (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), who want to rush out and proselytize to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), etc. Some mean well, but most are stuck at the conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=75&viewfull=1#post75)/New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) gossip level, play the academia game, etc. They have to raise their games far above those levels to be useful for an effort like mine, and my big essay is part of the curriculum for achieving a comprehensive awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing).

As I have written repeatedly, unless people have been awakened, they will not be able to help along an effort like mine. Heck, they won’t even begin to comprehended it, and it will often seem like a threat to their existence, so they either flee or attack (the flight or fight reaction). My work is not for the masses (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). I have to aim far higher than that, if I hope to have a prayer of helping make a dent.

I have also written many times that if I had not had my adventures, which woke me up, I would not have much worth saying. I regularly encounter well-meaning people who remind me of how I would have likely turned out if I had not met Dennis. They are naïve, their bright ideas are unworkable, etc. My list of choir qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) is a ranked one. If a person does not care and is not awake, the rest won’t matter. My jury is still out on a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312), but all of my fellow travelers that I respected had theirs. It helped break them out of materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle) and the other scientistic seductions of our Epoch. But scientific literacy is a requirement (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313). Otherwise, people have difficulty focusing on what is important, and easily get lost when navigating this milieu. Becoming scientifically literate without falling for scientistic indoctrination is not an easy journey.

I am continually approached by people who don’t understand those requirements, and it is always because they don’t meet them. When people meet those requirements, they understand why I have listed them. I have been challenged/attacked over all of them, at one time or another, by people who deny their importance. It makes it easy for me to decide that they are not the people I seek. :) I can pretty much name that tune in one note anymore, as I have fielded thousands of reactions to my work over the past generation. I doubt that I will ever receive a reaction that I have not seen before, but maybe so. Perhaps, one day, somebody is going to hit notes far higher and sweeter than I have heard before, and if so, I will likely carry those spears. :) It was more than an honor to carry Dennis’s and Brian’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), but I doubt that I will ever encounter anybody else like them, so I soldier on.

Best,

Wade

Been reading "Darwin's unfinished symphony : how culture made the human mind by Kevin Laland"

Culture in this context is "any knowledge passed from one generation to the next"
Human evolution has been driven by culture and energy, with each acting as limits in different contexts. Proto humans in the oldowan (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oldowan) period started eating meat and bone marrow by scavenging or stealing from predators, this behavior was an effect of the social brain, with proto teaching of tool making, shared intentions, this set the stage for the use and eventual mastery of fire. The mastery of fire and the social brain started the first epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1). This social and energy revolution then led to the second epoch when humans became super predators and started dominating their ecosystems possibly as early as 500-300 thousand years ago in Africa. The glacial age did not allow for agriculture and its energy, humanity was stuck in the second epoch until the current inter glacial. This interglacial was the start of the third epoch with human population and culture(knowledge) expanding, humanity in the third epoch were split in two worlds with interactions only between their domains. The Fourth Epoch started with the joining of those worlds to form a global humanity that interacted with each other globally, this epoch is marked by fossil fuel energy, arguably a global humanity was a prerequisite.

So what does the book say.
1) High fidelity copying is one of the fundamental aspects of humanity
2) Teaching is a fundamental aspect
3) Imitation is a fundamental aspect of being human
4) Novelty, mixing, and innovation is a minor aspect that built on the 1), 2), 3) above.

Stallman is right in saying
1) high fidelity copying is a human right
2) the underlying methods and concepts have to be open, so that changes can be incorporated into culture based on local needs

My jury is still out on a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312), but all of my fellow travelers that I respected had theirs. It helped break them out of materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle) and the other scientistic seductions of our Epoch.

Having watched your jury for a few years now, it is never going to return a verdict :)

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1326815&viewfull=1#post1326815):

Actually, invention trumps copying. Without invention, there is nothing to copy. :) I believe that it was in Darwin’s Unfinished Symphony that I saw invention downplayed as more of a brute-force social phenomenon rather than the result of creative brilliance. As somebody who has had his fair share of being around inventive geniuses (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), in a family that held a bunch of patents, I have a very different take on invention and intellectual property rights. I watched people get rich and famous by stealing (AKA copying) other people’s inventions. This is a big subject, and near and dear to my heart.

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), there won’t be patents, copyrights, and the like. But I don’t expect it to happen until the Fifth Epoch, despite Stallman’s activism.

On my jury on the choir and a mystical awakening (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1326818&viewfull=1#post1326818), that jury will come in if and when the choir is built, and we can see if many could hit the notes without a mystical awakening. It likely won’t be many, but I also want to see if those without one can get there. In the Fifth Epoch, mystical abilities will be seen as normal, similar to how inventive genius will be seen.

My takeaway (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/24-Chapter-17-Humanity%C2%92s-First-Epochal-Event-Growing-our-Brains-and-Controlling-Fire/page2?p=1934&viewfull=1#post1934) from Darwin’s Unfinished Symphony was a little different from yours, and I was particularly struck by that framework for explaining how language may have evolved. I think that parents’ inventing language to teach their offspring complex tasks has a lot going for it, and I would place that invention in Homo erectus, if I had to guess. The first works of what we would call craftsmanship (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#acheulean) were produced by them, and they likely invented the control of fire. Both likely needed language to be mastered. That is what I think today, and we’ll see if it changes much between now and publishing the essay update.

Best,

Hi:

In my recent studies of warfare, it became evident that preliterate societies with endemic warfare quickly gave it up when it no longer made economic sense. From the South American rainforest to the Arctic tundra, foragers and village farmers quickly gave up warfare when introduced to Fourth Epoch economies. This is one of the upshots of my work on the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

People aren’t that stupid and selfish. I have a higher opinion of humanity than those who fear free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), believing that humanity is too stupid and irresponsible to handle free energy, antigravity (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and the like. The people who have those technologies sequestered do so out of self-interest, not because of some paternal concern for humanity. They are mostly dark pathers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) who only see the loss of their earthly power (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear).

With the arrival of free energy, it will quickly become evident to even the stupidest of us that it heralds a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance), which has never been seen on Earth before. Warfare, poverty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), and ecosystem exploitation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#forest2) will no longer make any sense, and will quickly disappear. Even money (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange) will become obsolete. Mining Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mining) won’t make any sense. NASA is about to send a mission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_Psyche#Exploration) to an asteroid that is nearly pure metal. That asteroid alone might satisfy humanity’s metal needs forever. Brian will get a great deal of posthumous vindication (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#oneill) in the Fifth Epoch, and will be seen as one of its prophets. Dennis will be sainted.

I believe that humanity will quickly awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#reactions) to the Fifth Epoch’s potential, once it arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). Before then, it will be ignorance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0), denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), fear, and the rest, which is normal for people living before new Epochs, although those other Epochs were not even imaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine).

I want to make it very clear that there will not need to be much coercion, if any, in the arrival of the Fifth Epoch. Some will need to have their toys taken away if they just can’t play nicely, which is where those peacekeeping grandmothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) will come in. Young Warriors (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors) with their coercive ways will quickly find themselves without jobs, but as with those “primitive” cultures when exposed to Fourth Epoch goods, they will happily stop sacrificing their lives for the cause and looking for “bad guys.” There won’t be any need for that anymore.

And I don’t expect the masses to understand any of what I am writing in this post. It all seems like some Star Trek (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#trek) fantasy to them, if they are even interested, and very few are. They won’t even begin to awaken until those technologies that form the Fifth Epoch’s foundation arrive into their lives, not before, and that is normal.

I seek people who can embody Fifth Epoch behaviors and thinking, now (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), as a way to help it manifest. There are not many of them on Earth today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), but it won’t take many of them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), either.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

In my studies of prehistoric warfare, one of the best efforts that I found was Steven LeBlanc and Katherine Register’s Constant Battles. It is a multidisciplinary effort. It is really good at describing the economic trajectory of preliterate societies (find a new energy source, exploit it to the max, have a population explosion, and fight over the depleted resource as the population collapses, often to a point below the initial population), and the same pattern repeats itself ad nauseum. My big essay covers the same territory, but Constant Battles is a tour de force. Basically, no human society has ever been sustainable, and humans have not lived in harmony with nature since the control of fire. The human journey, in one way, is just the story of the long, slow destruction of Earth’s ecosystems for human benefit, and the process has accelerated. Today, humanity has its toes over the edge of the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).

There is a myth of the peaceful savage who lived in harmony with nature, but that is a modern invention, a wistful desire to return to a more innocent time. It never existed. Pre-agricultural people had limited numbers and means of wresting calories from the environment, and it only appeared sustainable because their damage was usually limited. But there was no attempt to conserve resources, and humanity has always bred to the limits of the land’s carrying capacity. The only possible exception is the demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) that attended the Industrial Revolution. Fossil fuels (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse) enabled people to not wrest their energy from living organisms, and machines did the work of people and allowed for skyrocketing standards of living, like nothing ever seen before. But those fuels are running out fast (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil).

What the Maori did to the moa of New Zealand (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#newzealand) – complete extinction in about a century – is a good proxy for how hunter-gatherers operated when they could. The human conquest of Earth led to a brief Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer), and then it was back to the edge of survival, and it was violent, very violent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#deathrate). What struck me when reading Constant Battles was how driving species to extinction was actually a source of pride in recent history, and I am attaching a portion of the book that I just grabbed off the Internet.

Hi:

Almost nothing that I write about is a pure scholarly exercise. I almost always write about issues that are close to my personal experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1976&viewfull=1#post1976). I don’t write about free energy and the milieu as a theorist or enthusiast, but as an activist who went through the meat grinder (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting). I didn’t even begin to study the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) until after being on the receiving end of its lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707) for years. I didn’t write about the medical racket until I had been on the receiving end of it (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience) and watched it in action (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#banned). I didn’t write about UFOs much until I went and saw one (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm), heard about Brian’s encounter (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), and after I watched Greer’s witnesses (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer) describe what my friend was shown years before (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). My mystical writings would be a useless exercise in punditry unless I had my mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva). My history writings were largely about how the history that I was taught (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more) was a batch of lies. I discovered the worthlessness of my erstwhile profession (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting) through experience, not reading about it.

My recent posts on invention (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/24-Chapter-17-Humanity%C2%92s-First-Epochal-Event-Growing-our-Brains-and-Controlling-Fire/page2?p=1977&viewfull=1#post1977) and men’s trigger-happy ways (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/25-Chapter-18-Humanity%C2%92s-Second-Epochal-Event-The-Super-Predator-Revolution?p=1979&viewfull=1#post1979) are heavily informed by my experiences. The brute force versus creative genius aspects of invention may have been epitomized by the Edison-Tesla issue. Edison’s inventions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#edison) came largely from the teams working for him, as he brute forced inventing the light bulb, trying out thousands of filaments before finding what worked. Tesla’s inventions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tesla1) could come to him, fully realized, in his mind. Mr. Mentor invented that way (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flash), relativity and quantum mechanics came through similar moments of inspiration, and I had a more mundane version of it.

I have written it before, that my grandfather (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas) noted that when he was a child, he and his friends “shot anything that moved,” and when he took his wife’s brother (from the redneck side of my family (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion)) to the majestic scenery in British Columbia, as he took in the magnificence, my great uncle said, “I wish that I could come up here and kill something.” My father put a BB-gun in my hand at age 10, I killed a bird with it, and he showed me how it was done. That memory haunts me to this day. I have purposefully not touched a weapon since I became an adult. Putting guns in the hands of boys is to begin training them to become killers (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). In the Fifth Epoch, that will quickly vanish (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), and it can’t come too soon.

Wade

Hi Wade

Quite tired at the moment, but enjoying your posts.

Thought of this thread today as I came across this picture below.

The caption with it :

“Station squabble by Sam Rowley, UK

Sam discovered the best way to photograph the mice inhabiting London’s Underground was to lie on the platform and wait. He only saw them fight over scraps of food dropped by passengers a few times, possibly because it is so abundant. This fight lasted a split second, before one grabbed a crumb and they went their separate ways.

Sam Rowley/Wildlife Photographer Of The Year”

https://i.imgur.com/UqoWAXu.jpg


In the subway environment context the mice look like the micro reflecting the macro. Like an echo of the daily grind that fills the subway; pounding the platforms in human form on a daily basis. Reminded me of the gist of your work. What if we were no longer squabbling over crumbs, but embracing the tools of abundance.

I think of those trains, rumbling under the skin of the earth. The buzz of electric lines, the rusted browns and spooky tunnels. The aching, heavy infrastructure. What a different world it could be with a clean energy culture. Rising up into the air, and working with light, and with lightness. In many ways.

Feels like a future worth working towards.

[Wade Frazier]

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1327107&viewfull=1#post1327107):

In 2009, I was in the Vancouver Aquarium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_Aquarium), watching a newborn beluga nursing from her grandmother, which I believe was the first time that that was observed. Attached is a picture from that trip. I’ll buy the grandmother effect.

That rock art fits the migration pattern of the founder group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit) perfectly. That is around the time that people invaded Australia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna).

When reading The Tale of the Axe (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/27-Chapter-19-Humanity%C2%92s-Third-Epochal-Event-The-Domestication-Revolution?p=1705&viewfull=1#post1705), I was struck by the level of precision that has been attained. With the rise of dendrochronology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrochronology), scientists have been able to date events and related artefacts to the year that they happened, several thousand years ago. With mass spectrometry, scientists can tell where a log came from, if a person was raised in the area or not, and other information. During the Neolithic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#natufian), hand axes of unusual color could become highly prized and travel hundreds of miles from where the stone was quarried. Scientists have even been able to trace some stone implements to the very rocks that they were quarried from. Pretty amazing.

Hi Melinda (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1327135&viewfull=1#post1327135):

Sorry for your weariness. I know the feeling. :) Yes, the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is something worth aspiring to. For many years, my work has been called an exercise in darkness. When I would hear that, I knew that the reader did not understand. What I do is show how the darkness is called the light (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms), because the members of my culture were the “winners.” Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) spent many years of their lives exposing that kind of in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) hypocrisy.

For me, when people put aside the self-serving fairy tales of their conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), they are on their way to waking up. As I have stated plenty, my work really can’t wake people up. They 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) somehow. If they are, then they are going to recognize the worth of my work and vicariously learn from it. They won’t have to learn the hard way by traveling the paths of disaster (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). Shortening the learning curves of the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) is really what my work is all about.

Yes, ending the scramble for the crumbs in our world is a major aspect of what I do. In biology, organisms have several modes of nourishment. Autotrophs get their energy from inorganic chemicals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lifeenergy) or sunlight (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis1). Heterotrophs get theirs through grazing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#grazing), predation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#predation1), parasitism, scavenging, symbiosis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers2), and even altruism. As I observe human societies, I can see all of those modes play out in human interactions. In this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), it may be virtually all altruistic and symbiotic, for all heterotrophs, with perhaps scavenging of the deceased.

Wade

Hi:

Some current events…

Space Wars are coming soon (https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2019-12-10/annual-defense-budget-bill-includes-trumps-space-force). This has been on the drawing board (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#military) for a long time. The race between education and catastrophe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) gallops along.

Rodney Stich (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#stich) would have had a field day with what happened at Boeing (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/11/18/the-case-against-boeing?verso=true).

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), safety will always be job number one. No cutting corners to increase profits, as profits will become an obsolete concept (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange). All corporations will eventually stray from whatever ideals may have originally driven them, as the profit motive (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit) will become paramount.

The media is complying with another cover-up (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/12/08/journalist-newsweek-suppressed-opcw-scandal-and-threatened-me-with-legal-action/), as usual. When Ed created his propaganda model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), he did not preclude conspiratorial behavior, but stated that it was rarely needed to produce the effects that the capitalist media did. The case for conspiracy can definitely be made for the cover-up of the latest WMD lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) by the USA to justify its military adventures. The hypocrisy is off the scale (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#arnett), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping)), which is why Ed came up with a new term (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah) to describe it.

Caitlin Johnstone wrote an article on one of the costs of being awake (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/12/09/the-cost-of-sanity-in-this-society-is-a-certain-level-of-alienation/) and not shuffling along with the herd. There is a steep price to pay in our world for being sane and awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), but it is worth it.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

When I studied the Holocaust of World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward), it was one of the most harrowing scholarly experiences of my life (and spurred me to finally win my 20-year battle with the bottle (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm#gandhi)). Studying the genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide) of the natives of the Western Hemisphere was also no fun, nor was reliving my adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm), to write about them. When a few more people die, if I outlive them, I will be freed to become far more revealing about my adventures, and it will be a spectacular rendition and hard to believe, but it will be nothing but the truth.

I am an old man today, but I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601) when I was 27 and just a pup. Even though the previous several years (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) were a wakeup call of sorts to the real world, class really began when I met Dennis.

Scholars of the Holocaust have studied who lived and died, and regarding the most important determinant of who survived the death camps and other Nazi methods of genocide, scholars have identified a person’s youth as the key quality. Teenagers and young adults subjected to the Holocaust had their youthful bodies to thank for surviving the rigors of it. That was the greatest common denominator of Holocaust survivors.

In looking back to my journey, my youth is also how I survived my days with Dennis and was able to do the work I have done over the past 30 years. Mr. Professor did not survive (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), and I watched many others become casualties. Older people did not have the resilience to survive the ordeal with their sanity and lives intact. Fellow travelers such as Mark (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&highlight=comings#post811647) also had his youth to thank for surviving his adventures. Brian probably should not have survived that first murder attempt (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), and it shortened his life.

So, my youth not only enabled me to survive my adventures and be able to pick up the pieces of my shattered life and keep going, I also had a “runway” of 30 years to be able to produce my work as it stands today. I have written about my journey to awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/125-The-Journey-from-Unawareness-to-Knowledge?p=1456&viewfull=1#post1456) quite a bit, and won’t belabor it here, but as I look back, it was quite a journey to reach my understandings today, as I groped along. Again, without the radicalization of my adventures, I would likely not have even begun my scholar’s journey, much less gone anywhere interesting with it. It woke me up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765). I likely would not have had much worth saying, without my adventures. That voice (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3) knew what it was doing, but I only had one life to wreck, and wrecking it early instead of late in my life was a backhanded blessing of sorts, if I had to find a silver lining to it all.

Most of my vision of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) was developed during my days with Dennis, and this vision (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#can1) was written before I was introduced to Uncle Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) and before I began studying to write my big essay. I have recently written that when I have looked back at my older writings, I have seen that I understood key aspects of my message today longer ago than I originally thought. But what a long, strange journey it has been, and I would not recommend it to anybody. I long ago accepted that I am on special assignment, and this lifetime is some kind of sacrifice for the cause. I won’t know parenthood and many other experiences that most people have, and it was part of the price of my journey. No regrets, but I can’t recommend the path I took (or Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=576&viewfull=1#post576)). I am trying to create a path to usefulness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) in manifesting the biggest event in the human journey that does not cost the participants their lives. It may seem like a slow process, and in some ways it is, but in others, for trying to manifest such an Epochal event in an unprecedented way, and being a one-man show to boot, it is coming along nicely.

Best,

Wade

I skimmed through "Captured By The Indians: 15 Firsthand Accounts, 1750-1870" by Frederick Drimmer

Summary
1) Meat eating is part of human diet, (humans clearly caused big extinctions in large animals)
2) The fertility rate was high and everybody fought everybody else partly because of resource scarcity.
3) Native American societies seem to be less settled in one place, and seemed to move about. This needs more research.
4) Its a numbers game at some point, whites with high fertility and survival rates thanks to the industrial revolution easily displaced and killed native americans.
Native american high fertility rates could not withstand the onslaught because as is typical of pre-industrial societies they had high mortality from disease and starvation, apart from threats and death from white people.
5) I read about murder by native americans but no rape in the book


I could only skim through as it takes a lot out of me to read the book, I doubt if I will ever read on this topic again.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1327435&viewfull=1#post1327435):

I just dug up my copy (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#rape), and was reading it last night. I will always be haunted by the chapter on the Nootka headhunters, who lived near where I live. I am finishing LeBlanc’s masterpiece (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/25-Chapter-18-Humanity%C2%92s-Second-Epochal-Event-The-Super-Predator-Revolution?p=1979&viewfull=1#post1979), and may even start today on that big essay revision on warfare through the ages. I have studied way too much Native American warfare, and they were really no different from any other people. It was all about their economic situation, and I doubt that I can improve upon, “Where there is plenty, there is peace.” That is a human universal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up).

LeBlanc discussed that when people became peaceful, it was never because of some social reordering, consciously engaged in by the society. It was always an economic issue, and simply reshuffling the deck of scarcity has never worked and never will. At the beginning of each Epoch, when a new energy source was tapped, there was peace and plenty for a time, but humans, like all other organisms, breed to the limits of the carrying capacity of their environments, and as human societies reached the land’s carrying capacity, then it became a struggle, and that is when it got violent.

LeBlanc made the point, and I agree with it, that the slicing and dicing that some anthropologists do, such as Douglas Fry, in which violence gets parceled into homicide, feuding, and warfare, is not very helpful in studying human violence, and Fry does it in a way so as to minimize war (it is definitely an ideological exercise). Was it worse to murder your spouse or somebody in the neighboring society?

Bible scholars have long stated that the Commandment “Thou Shalt Not Kill” only applied to one’s society, and that those of other societies (the outgroup (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1)) were fair game. Christians have long used that distinction to justify warfare, but Jesus said to love the enemy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy). I’ll go with Jesus (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#jesus) over Moses (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#joshua).

For American Indians, the critical distinction regarding those captured-by-Indians texts (which was a literary genre) is whether the native society was matrilocal or not (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1). Matrilocal societies broke up the male gangs, and those are preindustrial humanity’s most peaceful societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page7?p=873&viewfull=1#post873). The only way that women could rise in status for those societies to become matrilocal was where there was not much warfare. I still have not seen any convincing refutation of Otterbein’s idea that in areas where the big game was rendered extinct and the plants were conducive to domestication (and an interglacial interval (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceageeurope1) made agriculture feasible in the “lucky latitudes”) could women’s horticultural duties become important enough to displace patrilocal descent (and in some fishing societies). Big game hunting and warfare were joined at the hip, as both used the same toolset (and it was only relatively peaceful during the brief Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer)), and those were always the most violent forager societies.

In matrilocal societies, women were never raped, and the Eastern Woodlands culture was comprised of matrilocal horticultural societies, which is why the invading Europeans were surprised to find that the natives did not rape captured European women. It had been standard European practice for millennia. Indian societies were very attractive to the invaders, which is why running off and “going native (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#captive)” was such an epidemic problem from the beginning of the European invasion.

In his 1491, Charles Mann wrote that he asked a bunch of anthropologists if they would rather live in an Eastern Woodlands or European society in 1491, and every single anthropologist chose the Eastern Woodlands.

LeBlanc showed in his book that when so-called primitive societies became peaceful, it was always because of:


The depopulation of the natives because of European diseases and genocide;
The introduction of European technologies and practices that raised the land’s carrying capacity;
The new rulers enforced the peace.


The first two factors brought those native societies way back from the edge of the land’s carrying capacity, so that there was no more struggle for survival. Those societies quickly became peaceful. Also, the invading Europeans (and their political descendants, such as Americans) would impose peace on the natives (this is part of Ian Morris’s thesis, and there is merit to it). The natives hated warfare anyway, so it was easy for them to give up war when there was relative plenty.

It didn’t always happen overnight, so that some societies still engaged in “senseless” warfare for a time, which no longer made any economic sense, but it had a certain cultural momentum that kept up the warriors’ ways, even though they had become obsolete. That is why I advocate those peacekeeping grandmothers for a generation or so (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), until everybody gets it. Adjusting to abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) should not be too difficult. :)

On your issue of mobile Indians, in 1491, North America had about 100 times as many farmers as foragers. A great deal of that so-called mobility since 1492 was the remnants of native societies that were displaced by the invaders, and particularly in the Eastern Woodlands. The natives were only mobile where horticulture was not feasible, such as the land between the Eastern Woodlands and the West Coast (aridity was the reason).

The West Coast was very interesting. There was no agriculture because the Indians didn’t need any. The Pacific Northwest culture was based on salmon (which provided half of their calories), in which the energy supply delivered itself to the villages. In much of California, the natives were able to have an acorn economy, so those societies could also become sedentary (as well as coastal tribes). If the natives could manage a local and stable energy supply, they settled down. If the land could not support a sedentary lifestyle, then they were mobile. That really is the key distinction when studying “forager” societies. Once a society becomes sedentary, then you will see stratification, and men always rose to prominence again as the societies reached the land’s carrying capacity and it became violent again.

The chiefdom is the mode of social organization for those societies, and all pristine civilizations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1) went through their chiefdom phases on the way to the rise of states (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#legitimacy). Chiefdoms always battled against other chiefdoms, and there was always great and bloody competition to become the next chief. It was definitely a chimpism phase. :)

Hi:

I was going to write a kind of final post before I got cracking on the big essay update, but I am going to cut to the chase. It is related to my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/132-New-Chapter-on-Domestication?p=1984&viewfull=1#post1984), and its essence is this:


There is no significant social change without fundamental economic change.


That is arguably the gist of my big essay. The great changes in the human journey, which I have called Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), were all fundamentally economic in nature, and the social changes came later, as a consequence of the economic changes. Those changes were always a result of new energy practices, and tapping new energy sources in particular. Without tapping new energy sources, big-brained humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain) would not exist. Without agriculture (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran), there would have been no civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1). Without fossil fuels (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse), there would have been no Industrial Revolution, with its attendant demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), the end of slavery (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend), etc.

Next to that energy/economy issue, everything else is noise, and all social activism is merely hacking at branches. That is why the social approach to free energy won’t work. It took me awhile (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) to finally understand that. Sociality (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason) is all about survival, and social activism is all about reshuffling the deck of scarcity (in the activists’ favor, coincidentally :) ), and that is not a fundamental solution at all. Even feeding the world’s poor is just about introducing the Fourth Epoch to the Third, and a little reshuffling. There is nothing magical about that. The people of each Epoch have, as Ian Morris wrote, the thought that they need (or deserve), and the cherished ideologies of today (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) will become meaningless in the Fifth Epoch. But without free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity) there will be no Fifth Epoch.

That is why when I see free energy newcomers rush out to spread the “good news” to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), I always try to discourage them from it, and the best of them come back to me, chastened by the experience, as all that they encountered was ignorance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0), indifference, denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), and ostracism. About the best that they encounter is along the lines of, “If you want to give me a free energy device, I would use it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level4).” That is like saying, “If you wanted to give me a trillion dollars, I wouldn’t refuse it.” Arguably worse is if anybody shows any genuine interest, as their “bright ideas” are all well-worn paths to disaster (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). Almost nobody possesses the integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) or sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) to try a different approach, but those are the people I seek, and integrity trumps everything else (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), by a long ways.

As great as Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky), Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), and Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm) are/were, they merely pointed out features of our capitalist-imperialist society, which is obvious to people who don’t live in it. I could never get Noam or Ed interested in free energy. That issue dwarfs everything else happening on Earth today, and that is part of the problem, as it is too big for almost anybody to even imagine, and that is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). That is why I do what I do, so that the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) can imagine it. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I am not sure what is more egregious, that the USA bombed another nation based on lies (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/deluge-of-new-leaks-further-shreds-the-establishment-syria-narrative-e5ba3ba9b44b), or that the leader of the organization exposing the lies is behind bars today (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731), being tortured (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1920&viewfull=1#post1920). The Land of the Free, indeed. What a great, humanitarian (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record) nation we are.

These are ominous developments, in many ways, and might impact what I am doing. Dennis has been almost universally libeled in the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707), by the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#article),” and even by so-called “allies (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel)” in the free energy field. I am about the only person on the Internet today reporting anything close to the truth about Dennis. These are all just examples of my journey’s greatest lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708).

As Orwell (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#orwell) wrote, in a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. If my effort gains any traction, I can count on being assailed over the Dennis issue, as I was not long ago by gullible admins (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 they responded to trolls by attacking me. It is not the first time (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll1). Avalon is an oasis in more than one way.

In this country, it seems that if you tell a lie often enough, it makes it true, so I wonder if I will be legally assailed for telling the truth about Dennis’s efforts. It does not keep me awake at night, but with seeing the increasingly outrageous behavior engaged in by my great nation, I have to wonder.

I have written about it before, but in his last years, Brian had a professional stalker, who followed him around the world when he spoke publicly, heckling him, not much different from what Bill the BPA Hit Man did when Dennis spoke at a conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#global), or what his attorney did on the day that I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=602&viewfull=1#post602). Brian began to dread speaking publicly because of that, and he had already fled the USA after Mallove’s murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland). Brian also had a public email address, and would receive attacking emails that would put him out of commission for a few days, before he got over them. I removed easy access to me not long after 9/11 (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), as the attacks became increasingly vicious, irrational, and threatening. I had my own Internet stalker (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#warning), who heaved a disinformation bomb, wherever I appeared in the Internet, which helped get one of my forums erased. What happened when I tried to improve Ed’s Wikipedia bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) was the small stuff.

Bill and friends provide a very valuable service to people like me, as well as the public, as they keep the assailants at bay.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Some current events…

Space Wars are coming soon (https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2019-12-10/annual-defense-budget-bill-includes-trumps-space-force). This has been on the drawing board (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#military) for a long time. The race between education and catastrophe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) gallops along.


Quick comment from a lurker. :- )

I like being able to read the news with my Frazier-glasses. There was a couple articles on Drudge today, both alluding to secret tech and the need to make some of it public in order to stay ahead in the space race.

Here's a quote from Barbara Barrett, a nominee for secretary of the Air Force, that was in one of the articles:
"But we have to have our other colleagues in the Congress to be supportive of us making the changes we need and the resources we need into this,” he said. "It’s not going to happen until they understand the threat and the dependence we have. And I don’t think that can happen until we see significant declassification of what we’re doing in space and what China and Russia are doing..."

To me, that translates into, we need to declassify anti-gravity and explain to people that we've already pioneered the tech, but "our colleagues" in the energy sector have always required us to keep it secret.

Like Wade has always said, if you let anti-grav come out, free energy is probably not far behind it, right?

Joe

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Joe (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1327615&viewfull=1#post1327615):

I’ll put that in my “Don’t I wish” category. :) Long ago, I heard something along the lines of that the military (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/117-The-War-Racket?p=1261&viewfull=1#post1261) has stuff about ten years ahead of retail technology (Apple, GE, etc.) and the spooks (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/115-The-Spooks) have toys that are a thousand years ahead (a lot was “borrowed” from ETs). I’ll buy that.

I have my doubts that that article that you refer to was alluding to antigravity. That said, those recent Navy revelations of UFOs were interesting, and there is going to be plenty more than meets the eye with disclosures like that.

I try to stay away from the blizzard of theories out on there on free energy and antigravity technology. There are plenty of theories, but I know that the technologies exist (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), so the theories are not too interesting to me, and they sure can’t all be right. If and when those technologies come into the open, then it will be time to theorize about the physics behind them, based on experiments with them (although the spooks likely have already written the physics texts based on those technologies, and much more). Sparky had the goods (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), so his paper (http://www.rexresearch.com/sweet/1nothing.htm) is good, if mind-boggling, reading.

For me, other than referring to Sparky and some others, such as Tesla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tesla1), I just mention that some heavyweights in physics sure did not rule out the possibility of free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf1). It is far from “impossible.” When I hear “impossible” and “contrary to the laws of physics,” I want to laugh. Those Level 3s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) are the professional descendants of those who ignored the Wright brothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wright) for five years after they first flew, while calling heavier-than-air flight “impossible,” or those who ridiculed Edison’s light bulb (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#edison) as “impossible” and an “idiotic idea” while he was lighting up Menlo Park with his “impossible” technology. And that stuff wasn’t suppressed and was available to anybody with the gumption to go see them in action. :) Soon before he died, Brian said that the ignorance and blindness of scientists was worse today than it was in the Wright brothers’ time, as they are so hemmed in by their theories and what they think they know. Those kinds of reactions (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) (and many others) were what spurred Brian to begin openly wondering if humanity is a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience).

Not long ago, I read a wise scientist state that when an older scientist declares some new theory or finding “impossible,” that the scientist is usually wrong.

My understanding of the antigravity situation, called electrogravity by Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=1355&viewfull=1#post1355) and others, is that antigravity technology needs plenty of juice to work, so free energy is necessary for it to be viable. And yes, if they let one out, the other is probably coming right behind it. That will be the biggest event in the human journey, as it will form the foundation for a super-epoch of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), space-faring (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), asteroid-mining (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mining), etc. So, I don’t know exactly how TPTB (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) would let it out, but I am also not waiting for them. Who put them in charge?

The effort that I have in mind (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) needs to be able to go after it the hard way, not wait around for the elites to unveil it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

In my big essay, from the beginnings of the solar system (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sun) to the earliest life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca) to the earliest animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals) to the first fish on land (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tetrapods) to dinosaurs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dinosaur1) to the reign of mammals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paraceratherium) to the apes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proconsul) that became human (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit) to the long journey of humanity, both the ancient (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus) and recent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), my intention is to help the readers go there, to imagine those times. In a way, it is to also help them imagine the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), as time travelers into the future as well as the past. The process can help ground people. The people that I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) need to be grounded. I have witnessed too many casualties on my journey, and particularly for people who were not grounded. People have crashed and burned by just brushing up against this material (ending up in mental institutions, etc.), and on that high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584), lives were wrecked and shortened (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847)). I have had enough of that in my life, and don’t see the point of making any more martyrs to the cause.

Similarly, my chronicling the events of my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1976&viewfull=1#post1976) and those of my fellow travelers are partly intended to help my readers imagine what those journeys were like. Until you have been in Kangaroo Court (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), it can be hard to believe. In judicial decisions, such as this one (https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/579804/dennis-m-lee-v-ventura-county-sheriffs-dept-and-re/), they admitted that all of the crimes that the prosecution may have committed, such as entrapment (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), theft (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#theft), espionage (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#espionage), lying, threatening witnesses (even while they were on the witness stand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681)), and so on are all protected by prosecutorial immunity and statute of limitations, even as Dennis was still being prosecuted. The prosecution openly admits that they don’t care if you are innocent (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care), as all that matters to them are their coveted convictions, and they admit to lying however much is needed (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#lie) to secure those convictions. And they all get big promotions for wiping you out (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#promotion), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#promotions)).

Then they get you for failing to file a form, kangaroo you into prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate), doctor your security file to put you in the shark tank, and repeatedly try to get you murdered by the inmates (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes). That is what I call “justice, American-style (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#justice).” And, of course, the media lies from day one (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492), as do the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#article),” and even your so-called allies in the field (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), when they aren’t trying to steal your company (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked). And most of the evil was inflicted by people’s just doing their jobs (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=722&viewfull=1#post722). Most were not even in on it, not to understand what was really happening (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), and they didn’t even care, as long as they were well paid for their labors on behalf of darkness. Our renowned attorney (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707) got the education of his life when he took our case, and was nearly disbarred (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#disbar) for his trouble, in the same court where Harry Pregerson (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), a literal gangster, presided.

That was all part of how I learned my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and I don’t even relate the most shocking events publicly. More people will have to die for me to do that.

For those that I seek, they are already awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), and while they may learn some new lessons by studying those events, it should not challenge their worldview much, and they can learn vicariously from my odyssey and refrain from courting disaster (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), which almost all free energy newcomers do, in their naïve (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) enthusiasm.

If enough of us go about it the right way, it will work. That, I have no doubt about. For now, it is just about learning to hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and for most of them, that is all that they will ever need to do to help this along.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I can only admire work like Noam’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky), Ed’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), and Howard’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm). Scholars of conscience, who take on the Empire from within the Empire, are few and far between. Too often, they get railroaded, like Ward Churchill (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#churchill) did, and Julian Assange’s treatment (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1920&viewfull=1#post1920) is stark confirmation of how the Empire operates. Chelsea Manning’s actions have been heroic, as were Ralph’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), Gary’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), Stich’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1440&viewfull=1#post1440), and watching Caitlin Johnstone’s (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/) nibbling on the ankles of the Empire is nice to see. But also, all of that was oppositional, exposing evil deeds and how the Empire covers them up or, incredibly, turns them into good deeds (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms).

I can only call it good work to do that, but pouring the foundation of a new Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is something very different, and Dennis, Brian, and Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) operated on entirely different levels of the game. It requires combined positive intention (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus), and levels of sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) and integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) that vanishingly few people have achieved, or even wanted to. I am sympathetic to people who don’t think that my approach has a prayer of making a dent, but it is not going to risk anybody’s lives, either, as long as they follow my guidance. And for the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why), they won’t need much guidance, as they already learned the most important lessons for engaging in this Epochal task. The only real challenge that I see is our finding each other. If the choir can form (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), the rest will be easy.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

When I write of the 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) (or comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing)) approach, I am really writing about the love and enlightenment approach, but in more secular terms.

When I look at my fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might/page5?p=1989&viewfull=1#post1989) and what we had in common, it was our Boy Scout natures (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts), honesty, a love of the truth, the desire to be helpful, and they were usually highly intelligent. And we all had hell to pay. Noam, Ed, and Howard had it relatively easy, ensconced in academia. Howard had it the worst of those three (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/34-History?p=1814&viewfull=1#post1814). He got kicked out of one university, never got promoted or given a raise at another, because of his activism outside of the classroom, was actually in combat in World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#justify2) and got cracked over the head by a policemen’s club while at a demonstration in The Land of the Free. Noam and Ed were merely subjected to smear attacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia) which, in Ed’s case, continues posthumously (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751). Noam got arrested at a bunch of protests and figured that he was likely going to prison, but that didn’t happen. He will take his place with Socrates, Newton, and Einstein in the history of Western thought when he finally hangs it up.

Probably because they were Jewish and “outsiders” in our WASP culture, Noam, Ed, and Howard were not as brainwashed as the rest of us were in our youths. Dennis, Brian, and Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) drank that Kool-Aid from the beginning. Dennis got into fistfights with soldiers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=576&viewfull=1#post576) who disparaged the USA, Mr. Professor was also in the military and was the family hero, and Brian became an Eagle Scout (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early), Astronaut (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nasa), Ivy League professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#after), and advisor of presidential candidates (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall).

Our paths of awakening were all a little different, but in their essence, they were the same. Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398) and Stich (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1404&viewfull=1#post1404) woke up while doing their jobs, after their military service in World War II. We all had ideals of honesty and fair play, and were all initially shocked to see the blatant dishonesty and even criminal behavior that we encountered. We all took a stand, and were all shocked when officialdom not only approved of the dishonesty and criminal behavior, but even committed it (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1327888&viewfull=1#post1327888). Those experiences eventually radicalized all of us.

But, initially, it unmoored us. Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice) and Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon) nearly did not survive their first moments of awakening. From the day that I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=602&viewfull=1#post602), class began, and I had many little awakening moments (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why), but my big one was during my day on the witness stand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681).

We all came to our moments of awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) a little differently, but as our natures were all similar, we also all came to the same general vicinity of understanding. The system is rotten to its core and always has been. It just produces good brainwashing (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing) and propaganda (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing). Almost nobody ever wakes up, or even wants to. The American system works far more subtly than in totalitarian systems (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#beauty), and is thus far more effective. The most effective prison is one in which the prisoners do not even realize that they are in prison.

And during my odyssey, we discovered control mechanisms (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make) that not even Noam, Ed, and Howard could wrap their minds around. There are elite levels of the game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) that the left has an ideological aversion to even acknowledging (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion), while the right often goes overboard in obsessing about it (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), while much of the public has a kind of titillating tabloid fascination with it. None of those reactions are healthy.

Awakening in our world is one of the loneliest feelings there is. I thought that I was going insane for a while, until I finally understood that I was one of the few sane people in an insane world. So, once we had our stark moments of awakening, then what? My fellow travelers kept going. Our Boy Scout natures were the primary drivers and always were, but after our moments of awakening, there was also a bit of righteous indignation, as we began to understand the depths of the lies and darkness (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving).

We all groped forward, seeking understanding of this new world that we did not know existed, but was really all around us. We all kind of made it up as we went along, as for each of us, we were in uncharted territory. But when we encountered fellow travelers, we recognized each other.

If I had not lived through what I did, when I eventually heard of Noam (in 1989, when I first did (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), not many Americans had), would I have understood any of his work, or even have been interested? I am not sure, but I do know that unless I had been awakened by my journey, I would not have much worth saying. I have met people that were like me, but had not gone through the meat grinder, and they were all naïve (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), if well-meaning. Naïveté is no crime, and we all lost ours honestly, but you can really walk into the meat grinder, totally unaware, thinking that you were going to get the tickertape parade, as Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1) and Sparky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2) did, to only receive the opposite treatment. The social circle approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) is suicidal for efforts like ours. Nobody wants to hear it.

Mr. Professor was a pillar of the community, the most beloved professor at the local college, and he could scarcely believe what happened to us in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr). He and I both sacrificed our lives, and I was young enough to survive the experience, while he wasn’t (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey). Brian’s journey shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), and Dennis should be dead dozens of times over.

So, my scholar’s journey for the past 30 years had my awakening to thank for it, and I really have been making it up as I go, while encountering beacons in the darkness, such as Noam, Ed, Howard, Brian, Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), and others.

I am well aware that what I am trying (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) has never been attempted before, and I have to thank that journey, of groping along in the darkness, seeking the light, with arriving at where I am today. I am not sure if grateful is the right term to use ( :) ), but I can’t regret any of my journey. It has made me a better person, if a little travel-weary from all of the abrasion, and maybe, just maybe, I can help make a dent. :)

Best,

Hi:

As usual, few Americans have heard of this latest American WMD scandal (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/deluge-of-new-leaks-further-shreds-the-establishment-syria-narrative-e5ba3ba9b44b). The USA is expert at simply fabricating reasons to bomb and invade (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) other nations. I recently read an article (https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/12/20/why-western-media-ignore-opcw-scandal/) on how the American media is ignoring the scandal, as usual, and it invoked a Mockingbird-like (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird) operation, to lend more heft to conspiratorial aspects of how the media operates (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=1982&viewfull=1#post1982). What kind of blew me away in that latest article is that there is one mainstream media organization covering this latest WMD scandal: Fox News! On this issue at least, Fox News is actually to the left of the American mainstream! That is how far gone our media is.

Noam has long stated that the political spectrum keeps moving farther and farther to the right, so that Bernie Sanders is some kind of “radical” today with his socialist platform, but he would have been right in the mainstream in Eisenhower’s time. That the mainstream would have moved so far to the right that Fox News is the new left is mind-boggling. Orwell (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#orwell) was so prescient.

The USA ranks at the very bottom of all nations on Earth (https://money.yahoo.com/aoc-parental-leave-policy-worldwide-142229636.html) in parental leave for childbirth (https://www.unicef-irc.org/publications/pdf/Family-Friendly-Policies-Research_UNICEF_%202019.pdf). That mirrors the USA’s humanitarian voting record at the UN (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record). This latest scandal is no aberration.

Ed’s chief libeler, Philip Cross (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621#post1621), has been busy trying to shore up the growing scandal (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/11/le-mesurier-gets-cross/comment-page-2/) around the White Helmets propaganda operation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1945&viewfull=1#post1945). The attempts to overthrow Syria’s government (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#syria) are just more of what makes the USA so great. :) As Ed often made clear, those kinds of behaviors are what the Nazis swung for (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#jackson). It was pretty funny when Assad called Trump the best American president (https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/assad-donald-trump-best-us-president-ever), as Trump dropped all pretense and said, “We are coming for your oil,” which American pundits could never seem to see (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate).

Do we call this stuff “post-Orwell”? :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I had planned to make a post on how I came to my approach, and then I saw this (https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeEnergy/comments/de6en2/a_letter_i_wrote_to_be_sent_to_the_law_department/) from Aleksander (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1274229&viewfull=1#post1274229). I am going to invite him to discuss it at Avalon. I’ll highly compress that planned post for now, and just say for now that my original orientation to the energy issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) was inventors, patents, and the American government, and even a rocket scientist was involved (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flicker). Then I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), and that was when class really began. Four years later, my life was in ruins, but I was awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765).

I banged on the doors of the Department of Energy twice. Once with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull), and once with Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro). Never again. I have watched aspirants bang on the Pentagon’s door, etc., etc (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1). Those are all dead-ends, and always have been, particularly for this Epochal task. I carried the spears for five mass movement efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), before I finally realized how futile that approach was.

It has taken a lifetime to arrive at my approach, and I have to try it out. I am not expecting anybody to have it figured out like I have, unless they have been on that high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584). But I don’t know of anybody else who has, who lived to tell about it (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), and who is engaging the public like I do.

I am here to help people understand the big picture and learn to hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and it won’t happen overnight. I may have another 30 good years in me, and I plan to make them count, and my forum work is one of those avenues of my effort.

Best,

Hi:

One of my most important lessons during my journey was learning that bringing free energy to the world through a capitalistic framework does not have a prayer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=710&viewfull=1#post710). There are many reasons for that, and the game that the patent office plays (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent) is a very minor aspect of it.

A close relative once took a class in innovation and inventing. He told me that they were taught that inventors almost never profit from their inventions. I was told that in the past decade, but Mr. Mentor (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) told me that when I was a teenager. Nothing has changed. All of Mr. Mentor’s inventions were stolen or suppressed. There were no exceptions.

During my LA days (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), one pal was an aspiring moviemaker, who poured millions of dollars of his family’s money into the effort. He eventually became the most famous movie-maker of his home country, but I heard story after story from him of the “slime factor” in Hollywood. One of his projects was a movie that would star Willie Nelson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Nelson#Outlaw_country_and_success_(1972%E2%80%931989)), when he was at the height of his fame in the mid-1980s. It was some kind of buddy flick, as I recall, and somebody stole an early version of the script and rushed a film into production from it. That version was poorly done, but it killed whatever kind of chance the Willie Nelson movie had, so my friend had to cancel his effort. I could tell a few stolen story/script tales. It was typical in Hollywood.

When the effort is breaking into the market with new technologies, there are so many perils that more than 99% of the efforts end in failure, in one way or another. Just getting an effort off the ground is nearly impossible. Owen’s lament (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1654&viewfull=1#post1654), of never getting enough funding to move the effort from his shop/garage, is the standard refrain, if you are ever around inventors much. And if it ever gets past the garage-stage, the inventor will almost always lose control of the invention before it gets to market. To get past the garage-stage means heaps of money, even for the mundane stuff, and the people putting up the money are called venture capitalists (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venture_capital) and “angels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_investor).” If the technology has promise, the inventor usually gets squeezed out on the way to market, and the venture capitalists and others will end up owning it. That is standard, for normal inventing, and that is the early, easy part of the game.

When Dennis got his early baptisms by fire in the business world (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=578&viewfull=1#post578), long before free energy was ever a gleam in his eye, his companies were repeatedly stolen, mostly by his business associates, but the mafia also got involved repeatedly, and Dennis survived more than one murder attempt in those days (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=577&viewfull=1#post577), 2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=606213&viewfull=1#post606213)), and that was after his days in Vietnam, as he helped slaughter the natives (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=778&viewfull=1#post778). Violence, or its threat, was Dennis’s constant companion during his journey.

Murdering inventors with disruptive technologies is quite common in the business world. Hit men are relatively cheap, and in the free energy field, the murders are always made to look like something else (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), as the spooks (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/115-The-Spooks) are talented in that way. Brian’s murder attempt, the one that shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847), was made to look like a “heart attack.” After Dennis turned down the CIA’s billion-dollar offer to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), he was kangarooed into prison, where the prison officials repeatedly tried to get him murdered by the inmates (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), and it almost worked, and Dennis “only” had his fingers broken and teeth knocked out. The courts are run by gangsters, literally (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big).

My earliest awakening moment during my journey with Dennis was watching his company get stolen (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604), which was architected by my boss, and I watched the employees cheer the theft. They were the very same people who gave Dennis a standing ovation on 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). Two years later, I was given a standing ovation, led by Mr. Stooge (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=207&viewfull=1#post207), who also helped steal our company a few months later. I am wary of standing ovations. :)

When I had witnessed about a dozen attempts to steal our companies, I told Dennis how shocking it was to see (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), and he replied that the first 50 times that he saw it, he was shocked, too. In free energy efforts, greed often overcomes everybody (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greed), and it turns into The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and ends in a bloodbath for all concerned. And the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) never need to lift a hand, and eat popcorn as they watch the effort implode from within.

In his last years, Brian tried to educate the public on the many barriers to developing free energy technology for public use. One was that it would take about $200 million in development money (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate), and no garage inventor has access to that kind of money. There is a common fantasy among people with no experience in this milieu that some garage inventor can come up with his gizmo, and the magic of capitalism will ensure that his pig gets taken straight to the market, and he becomes rich and famous, like The Muppet Movie ending. Real life does not work that way.

At the patent office are some of Godzilla’s minions, and any free energy inventor who applies for a patent commits effective suicide. There are many ways to block the application in the first place, and citing the “laws of physics” is common. If a patent is ever granted, then it is immediately seized under the national security laws, and the invention will never be seen again. Some of what my friend was shown (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) may have been from seized patents. Even before I met Dennis, I heard about patents being seized that way, and during my days with Dennis, I heard of more like that. Victor Fischer (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer) tried to avoid that fate by having his engine patented in several countries before he patented it in the USA. And even if you get something patented and it is not seized, corporate America specializes in stealing patents, finding a way around them (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=209&viewfull=1#post209).

Some wiser inventors know how rigged the patent game is, so they try the proprietary technology route (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary), as Sparky did. Sparky thought that he would receive the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2), after he mailed working prototypes to the big energy institutions, and in sobering aftermath of that, and after his home was burglarized in an espionage exercise, he wrote his notes in cipher, and his invention died with him, after repeated deaths threats and after a “heart attack (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky)” had claimed his life.

If an inventor really has the goods in the free energy milieu, he might get lucky and get the friendly buyout offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), as we got soon after I became Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614). Since almost all inventors are trying to get rich and famous, the friendly buyout offer almost always works, and the inventor is never the wiser. The technology never quite gets developed, but that is a minor disappointment to the inventor, as he sleeps on his piles of cash.
To Aleksander’s planned query to the patent office (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might/page5?p=1992&viewfull=1#post1992), if he is lucky, he will get some kind of bureaucratic response. He certainly won’t get the kind of frank official admission that Dennis and I received when we spoke at those Department of Energy hearings (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull).

The game is rigged in so many ways that the best that a free energy inventor can hope for is the golden handcuffs.

Dennis put the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on customers’ homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs). It is the most brilliant and benevolent business strategy that I ever saw or heard of, and like Sparky, Dennis thought that he would receive the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1), as he was going to deliver the energy savings that the electric companies said that they wanted. Of course, the opposite happened, replete with Kangaroo Court (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#bk), a hit man who caused somebody’s violent death (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), etc.

It is the height of naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) to think that the capitalist route to free energy, especially by lone wolf inventors and their pals, has a prayer in today’s world, and this post only scratches the surface. I could literally go on for weeks with tales of how futile the businessman’s approach to free energy is.

I did not come to my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) by getting hit with some bright idea one day, but by seeing what did not work and why (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), over nearly 40 years.

Hi:

I have written a great deal about how I am trying to overcome a “reality gap (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page2?p=1938&viewfull=1#post1938)” with my writings. Unless people were there, or had experiences remotely like them, it is hard to fathom my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1976&viewfull=1#post1976) and those of my fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584). My wife and I will finish watching The Americans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Americans) TV series in the coming week. It is Hollywood entertainment, but I was surprised at the parallels with my life. I lived unwittingly with a CIA contract agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia) who nearly tried to recruit me into the “business.” When I learned of his secret life, the toll of it became evident, and it led him to an early grave. He was not a psychopath, so killing people took its toll on him. He was not a Langley zombie (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#stockwell), as he probably never quite figured it out and was never on the official payroll, anyway. Like Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), he was the “muscle,” and they don’t like the muscle to think too much about what they do.

In The Americans, the conscience of the male lead got to him enough that he quit. In the cloak-and-dagger operations on the show, conscience could peek through with American and Soviet agents, and that part was true-to-life. The creator of the show was ex-CIA, and I am sure that he drew on plenty of experiences and note-trading in crafting the show. Art can definitely imitate life, and make one think. I didn’t really “get” fiction until after my father handed me The Hobbit when I was 14 (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), and I today read fantasy as my “reward” for doing hard study and writing.

But one of aspect of the show that really struck me was how the Soviet spies tried to live normal lives when they weren’t deceiving and killing people, as they raised two unwitting children that they were the parents to, but who were also part of their cover.

The odyssey that Dennis and his wife have taken is truly unbelievable, but I was there for the darkest chapters, and Dennis actually downplays how spectacular it was in his writings, believe it or not. I think that he did not want to blow his audience away too much. And they lived those adventures while raising three children, one of whom died while young. While visiting them 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 met their grandson who was named after his mother’s dead brother. That was a touching moment for me. That Dennis and Alison became grandparents and live what passes for normal lives when Dennis is not Indiana Jones-ing brings me joy.

Similarly, that voice in my head (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3) led me on an odyssey that almost nobody can believe, either, and my public rendition of my journey is also highly conservative. If I ever told it all, almost nobody would believe it, either. But it is what happened, and through it all, I also have tried to live a normal life. But is also pretty weird to play the corporate cog, knowing what I do. But I stay quiet and punch the clock.

Partly because of Dennis’s understandable penchant for secrecy around a lot of his experiences, and the way that the impact of what we were doing was so far-reaching, many times, information would come to me that I was not previously privy to, and the context of the events became clearer, often many years later.

For instance, I did not know that Sparky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) lived just down the road from us when we were taken down in Ventura, until sometime in the past decade, and when I did (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1656&viewfull=1#post1656), the context of Dennis’s billion dollar offer to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) made more sense, as did what happened to him after he turned them down (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail). When you begin to understand the context around the events, they make a lot more sense.

Similarly, if I revealed the context around my friend’s underground exotic technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), it would make a lot of sense to my readers (including the kidnapping part (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173)), and it would help them cross over that reality gap, to where they realized that those technologies have long been on Earth, but are sequestered in history’s greatest cover-up (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big).

For the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), it is not such a chasm to cross, but to Joe Average, he can’t really get there, as it is so radically different from life in the cubicle, on the factory floor, in front of the TV, and what he gets when surfing the Internet.

Hi:

This recent issue of the USA’s corrupting (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1991&viewfull=1#post1991) the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPWC), turning it into an imperial rubber stamp, for whomever we want to bomb next, is the same issue as the two Kangaroo Courts that the USA set up for Yugoslavia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#icty) and Rwanda (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ictr). The right-wing conspiracy theory that the UN will be used to undermine American sovereignty is quite a joke. The UN is our puppet. It is like the elephant being afraid of the mouse. The USA gives the finger to the rest of the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record) regularly at the UN. If I had not been in Kangaroo Court myself (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), I wonder if I would have ever gone down those paths of understanding, discovered Noam and Ed, etc.

As Ed and Noam wrote, the idea that the USA had committed an imperial aggression (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#jackson) in Vietnam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#tragic) and Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pm20) is unthinkable in the American media. Other commentators argue that making any and all alternatives to the existing social order unimaginable is one of the media’s key goals (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#imagine).

Very similarly, I wrote that the greatest triumph of the GCs’ (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) social managers is to make free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) and the coming Epoch unthinkable (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm). My game is making it thinkable. New Epochs were never imaginable before they arrived (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), so I am trying something that has never really been accomplished before, and my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to it is unique.

When people react to the idea of free energy with denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), and the like, those are merely the knee-jerk responses of their conditioning, and scientists might be the worst of them on that issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3). That is one reason why I say that people need 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), and only their experiences can do that. My work can’t wake people up. When the unawakened encounter my work, their reactions are variations of denial and fear, and I have watched them blow gaskets on this section of my work (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress), for instance.

Arriving at productive understandings of these issues is like walking the razor’s edge, few have ever gotten there, and I relinquished any judgment of the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) long ago, as it is just where humanity is today, in our super-epoch of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming).

I seek people who are able to carry the ball for a humanity that can’t carry it themselves right now. In the coming Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), people are going to wake up to abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) pretty easily, and all of those addictive behaviors, dysfunctional coping mechanisms, and adaptations to scarcity will fade away pretty quickly. Adapting to abundance should not be too difficult. :)

Best,

Hi:

Growing up around rocket scientists (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799)) and world-class inventors (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) not only gave me a pedigree like no other that I have heard of in the free energy field, it set my early trajectory in it. Being led to it by a voice in my head (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3) is also like nothing else that I have heard of in the field or anywhere else, although Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice), Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote), and Mark (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&highlight=comings#post811647) had their mystical awakenings to thank for their journeys, too. I downplay my pedigree in my public writings, and there is a great deal that I leave out of the rendition of Dennis’s and Brian’s journeys that would make them even more preposterous. We’ll see if I ever get to be more revealing publicly.

So, my initial orientation was the scientist-inventor’s before I met Dennis, although neither one of us even dreamed of free energy when we met (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601). We soon heard of Joe Newman (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=602&viewfull=1#post602), which was the first time that either of us had even heard of free energy. The day after I arrived (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=613&viewfull=1#post613) in Boston, chasing my dream (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), Dennis began thinking in terms of free energy.

Even though Dennis pursued free energy ever since, until he was finally banned from it in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), I still think that the most brilliant thing that he ever did was sell his heat pump with his marketing program (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs), as he put the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on customers’ homes for free. It is still the most ingenious and benevolent business strategy that I ever heard of. And Dennis can certainly be forgiven for taking the electric companies at their word (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1), as they publicly begged for conservation while they secretly wiped it out (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam). Dennis had yet to realize that he brought too much conservation to the market. All of my fellow travelers lost their naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) honestly. If we had not been a bunch of idealistic, overgrown Boy Scouts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts), our journeys would have never begun.

But early on, I began to discover that my early heroification of inventors was delusional, and Mr. Inventor (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=209&viewfull=1#post209) first began to demonstrate that to me, soon after I arrived in Boston. Soon after I became Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614), I brought in Mr. Inventor (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=621&viewfull=1#post621), to see if Dennis’s free energy idea had any merit, and he cut a secret deal with Dennis to bring our company to my home town, and Mr. Inventor came up with his own free energy idea, of marrying the panels from Dennis’s heat pump with his engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry). And then we got the boom lowered on us (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr).

That story is all so much larger than life that I am sympathetic to people who just can’t begin to wrap their minds around it, but anybody who does their homework is richly rewarded. Everything that I write about is true and really only the tip of the iceberg of what I could write publicly about. I lived it, and even I sometimes find it hard to believe that it happened, so I can understand when the public is skeptical, but true skepticism means getting out of one’s easy chair and finding out for one’s self, which I rarely encounter. Usually, it is the lazy, armchair “skepticism” of denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), and that is not really skepticism at all. I consider organized skepticism to be a criminal enterprise (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#criminal), and even calling themselves “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” is Orwellian (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#orwell).

It would take months to relate all of the events in the evolution of my awareness, particularly during my ride with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), but when the dust finally settled in Ventura, before Dennis was kangarooed into prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate) where the officials repeatedly tried to get him killed by the inmates (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), I realized that the inventor’s/businessman’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=709&viewfull=1#post709) approach to free energy likely did not have a prayer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1993&viewfull=1#post1993), and I was certain of it, after my second stint with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=803&viewfull=1#post803).

But, fool that I am, I soon began to carry Brian’s spears (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=841&viewfull=1#post841), which culminated in the last mass movement effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) that I will ever be involved with. I finally understood that all mass movements seek some kind of lowest-common-denominator of self-interest to attain movement “cohesion,” but coming together in that way plants the seeds of the effort’s destruction. Self-service (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) cannot be the glue to hold an effort like I have in mind (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) together. It has to be combined positive intention (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus). And since 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), I know that I am looking for needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and I dropped any judgment of the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) long ago. I went through those stages of grieving (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/supersurvivors/201707/why-the-five-stages-grief-are-wrong), and came to acceptance, many years ago.

I came to my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/68-Why-I-am-taking-my-approach?p=95&viewfull=1#post95) the hard way, after seeing what didn’t work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). Today, I am a voice in the wilderness, but I am continually approached by free energy newcomers who are stuck in the free energy field’s state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), who want to rush out and proselytize to their social circles, offer their bright ideas that have been tried thousands of times, and the like. My path has been teaching me patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :)

I know that my approach will work, if I can find the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) and get them trained. That will be the hard part. If a choir forms, the rest will be easy.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Gary Vesperman, whom I have written about (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers/page2?p=438&viewfull=1#post438), once wrote that thousands of energy patents have been classified (http://www.theorionproject.org/en/suppressed.html), and Tom Valone stated something similar (http://www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/feb2/vesprman.htm) (although he was referring to all classified patents, not just energy-related) as have others (https://thegoodlylawfulsociety.org/u-s-suppression-energy-patents/). There are efforts to declassify those patents (https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/freethetech-finds-5000-technological-inventions-suppressed-by-classified-patent-program-300579337.html), but, again, for the people doing the suppressing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), the patent game is just one arrow of many in their quiver, and few efforts ever get to the level where they need to be actively suppressed. There are many levels of the game and numerous gauntlets to pass on the way to the market.

When I update my essay, I’ll do a little revising of that narrative (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent). Whether the classified energy patents are three or three thousand is not that important. That is only a small piece of the puzzle (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1993&viewfull=1#post1993). The patent route is a loser (http://www.altenergy.org/transition/obstacles.html), in many ways.

As a brief example of how meaningless the patent game can be, Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) had no patent protection, as he tried to carpet Puget Sound with them (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run). At our first greatest energy show (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum), Dennis gave away his idea for the heat injector (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#develop), and anybody can pursue those technologies today. That heat pump is still the world’s best heating system. I don’t follow it closely, but the only times in recent years that I have been aware of companies making/marketing that kind of heat pump were in Canada and Portugal, and the Canadian company is out of business. Having patent protection would have been meaningless. The entire technology has been wiped out in the USA, and the technology is in the public domain. Mr. Mentor’s engine patent (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) expired long ago, but nobody ever made it, except for a company that seemed to get the cement shoes (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#car) after they stole it. Chasing after patents, especially in the alternative energy field, is pure folly at best and suicidal at worst.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

About once a month, another exceptional NDE account is added here (https://www.nderf.org/Archives/exceptional.html). The latest (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1sarah_b_ndes.html) is typical. This one (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1scott_w_nde_8914.html) happened in Seattle this year, and his NDE happened while his brain was drained of its blood, filled with cryogenic fluid, and frozen. That is appropriate reading on this Christmas Day.

Another topic for today is on the Christmas Truce in World War I (https://fee.org/articles/the-christmas-truce-of-world-war-i/). For a day, and in some places two, opposing soldiers refused to kill each other, and instead exchanged gifts, played sports, and honored the spirit of Christmas, much to the consternation of their superiors, who made sure that it did not happen again (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce#Later_truces).

As that author wrote, World War I “opened the gates of hell,” as it led to the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, the Russian Revolution, and set the stage for what we see happening in the Middle East today.

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), Jesus’s prophecy will come to pass (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/25-Chapter-18-Humanity%C2%92s-Second-Epochal-Event-The-Super-Predator-Revolution?p=1969&viewfull=1#post1969), and war will make absolutely no sense to anybody, although those peacekeeping grandmothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) will be needed for a little while, until even the dimmest of Young Warriors (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors) finally understands.

Ho, ho, ho, and peace on Earth,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

As I have written plenty, I really don’t keep up on the free energy field much, but I still get bombarded with news in the field, which remains in a state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), with the focus on the scientist with a theory and the inventor with a gizmo. On my Avalon thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet), you can see a fair number of people stumble in with gossip on Keshe and Rossi, for instance, which has mercifully died away in recent years. Megalomania (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) and outright scams are plentiful in the field.

I am sympathetic to people who are turned off by Dennis’s P.T. Barnum (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum), Bible-banging, Patriot Movement (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel), populist ways. I long ago stopped believing that the populist, businessman’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1993&viewfull=1#post1993), or any kind of mass movement (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) approach had a prayer, and I have been doing something very different for a long time. If Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) was alive today, he would understand what I am doing.

I am sympathetic to people who just can’t wrap their heads around what I am attempting, as it does not seem to be “doing anything,” but it is. As the Christmas post that I just made (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=1998&viewfull=1#post1998) shows, with its NDE accounts, all that we take with us is our awareness. My work is about raising awareness for the already awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), so that they can get to a level that can be useful for this Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The masses are not going to begin to awaken to the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) until it arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and that is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). I don’t seek the normal. :)

That stated, I made a recent post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1997&viewfull=1#post1997) on how the patent route is foolish or suicidal in the free energy milieu, and I linked to a pretty good discussion of it (http://www.altenergy.org/transition/obstacles.html). Again, I don’t pay attention to the free energy field much, but when I made that link, I surfed around that site a little, and it had reasonable discussions of various avenues to free energy (http://www.altenergy.org/new_energy/new_energy.html) or something close to it. The site focused on traditional alternatives, however, with no mention of Dennis. I expect that, but what kind of surprised me was that there was no mention of Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new). It is still the best heating system that has ever been on the world market. On that site’s solar section (http://www.altenergy.org/renewables/solar.html), there was an article on heat pump water heaters (http://www.altenergy.org/renewables/heat-pump-water-heaters.html). It was the same old crap of fin-and-tube heat pumps that get a COP of two, just like in the 1970s! Dennis’s heat pump got a COP of five in January in Minnesota (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm)! It is as if his heat pump never existed, and it blew away all other traditional alternative energy. So, I have to wonder if a site like that is subtle disinformation, or if the authors are really that ignorant.

Google “Dennis Lee free energy,” and you will see several libelous articles by major publications, with Mr. Skeptic’s libelous article (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#article) leading the way, and several “skeptical” organizations weigh in, as they demonstrate their naïveté and recycle each other’s lies. I expect that from those sources, as they only reinforce my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) and are more examples of Ed and Noam’s propaganda model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) in operation. A few years back, I even read something by Tom Bearden (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden) that mentioned heat pumps that could get all the way up to COPs of four. When Dennis is not being libeled (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), he is erased, even by people in the field.

The only place on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/128-Dennis-s-Heat-Pump-Performance?p=1573&viewfull=1#post1573) that I know of where Dennis’s heat pump is being sold is in Portugal (https://www.energie.pt/en/projects/item/105-hostel-in-lisbon), with what appears to be inferior equipment (those panels look pretty cheap, and my guess is that that system holds only half of the refrigerant that Dennis’s system did). Every discussion of heat pumps and water heaters that I saw when just surfing the Internet for a little while had no mention at all of flat-plate evaporators (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#arrays). If somebody wants to invoke a conspiracy on that sad state of affairs, I won’t argue much against it, but I think that it is just more of the same for why people live in their tiny reality boxes, even supposedly leading-edge thinkers. If a highly successful technology, which was wiped out in the highest-profile takedown (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run) in the history of the alternative energy field, is 100% ignored by the people in the field, how far outside of their reality window is something like free energy, much less its organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), going to be?

I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601) the same month that Microsoft did its IPO in the same city, and you will never hear anything from Bill Gates (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates) on any of this, much less from any other “philanthropist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy)” or “visionary.”

It can be kind of surreal at times, but keeping free energy unimaginable is the GCs’ (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) greatest triumph, and they have a zillion unwitting accomplices and enablers who do nearly all of the dirty work, gratis.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

About once a month, another exceptional NDE account is added here (https://www.nderf.org/Archives/exceptional.html). The latest (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1sarah_b_ndes.html) is typical. This one (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1scott_w_nde_8914.html) happened in Seattle this year, and his NDE happened while his brain was drained of its blood, filled with cryogenic fluid, and frozen. That is appropriate reading on this Christmas Day.



Warm winter wishes Wade, to you and Mrs Frazier, and all passing through.

In that NDE link you posted :

https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1scott_w_nde_8914.html

this passage from his email exchange is lovely :

“Being that everything was soft, I sank into the plants and the ground. It was like I sank into mud but it didn't feel gross. The energy of the whole place was healing but when I was on/in the ground, I was directly connected to it and I knew it could/would heal me. I was so relaxed and at peace. I hang on to that feeling and somewhat return there while I meditate. I somehow believe that I can still use that energy to heal myself as well as others. It's like the frequency of Unconditional Love can actually make physical changes to us on a molecular level and make things right and hold things right.”

It made me wonder if he was experiencing a version of earth from another dimensional perspective. I'm referring to how many (including myself) consider earth to be alive with her own spirit. Even here, in this dimension of heavy density that we experience as the 'material' realm, there are those who feel, and experience, how lying down on the earth, or even burying most of your body in its soil can allow the ecosystem to transmute toxins, and the earth's energy to realign what is imbalanced in your energy body.

Perhaps Scott was perceiving earth purely through his consciousness and energy. Perhaps he travelled to a realm beyond the earth. Perhaps it was all 'imagined' as some might say. Whatever way you define it, the feeling of unconditional love that he was able to experience in a lighter realm was something very real to him that he was able to recall and re-experience after his return to this density; perceiving once again through the body. A gift he brought back. A gift from himself or from a divine source, or from the former as an aspect of the latter. Experienced as unity. How wonderful.

In his story Jesus was known for his miracles. During which he tapped into energy sources that enabled him to alter reality and manifest abundance. From physical food to deep healing. And through his journey, his story, flowed the key to it all... :

Love

Perhaps this coming year will bring “2020” vision to the hearts of increasing numbers of people. Enabling us to step further into that path, and tap deeper into that realm.

A friend of mine mentioned to me earlier that to her the word Christ meant 'light'. I love that at this time of year people bring out the winter lights, a celebration of light itself at what is, in Northern parts, the darkest time of year. The time when seeds are in the depths, where the light of life is swirling from within, preparing for the journey to blossom, be fruitful, and connect with the world.

Below is a painting by Akiane Kramarik.

My way of sending some interdimensional, and infinitely cosmic, greetings to one and all.

In the now and always...

Hi Melinda (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1328789&viewfull=1#post1328789):

My take on that passage from that man’s NDE (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1scott_w_nde_8914.html) was that he was likely experiencing a higher-dimensional view of our reality. It is called the astral plane (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#afterlife), among other terms. I was struck by that woman’s NDE (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1sarah_b_ndes.html), and by this passage in particular:


“But Love is everything, love does everything, and love must be understood. Love is totally misunderstood and Earth is a great school and opportunity to teach us about Love.”


Amen. Also, when she wrote:


“But I felt Love at its highest when three immense columns of light came in front of me. These columns of light were esoteric beings. I have never felt a love such as this one. The love that they have for me and that I have for them, is indescribable.”


I was transported to my viewing of Mr. Professor’s body at the funeral home (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), as his widow stood next to his casket. I saw four columns of golden light (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=579217&viewfull=1#post579217), two taller and two smaller, and I got the sense that the taller were angels, and the shorter were Mr. Professor and his mother.

NDE accounts (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nde) are all different, but also all similar in ways. Death sure isn’t the end. The theme of love that dwarfs any such feeling or expression while on Earth (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=787774&viewfull=1#post787774) is common. The life reviews, meeting loved ones, how time does not really exist there, and so on, are standard features. Again, if I had not had my own experiences (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown) that demonstrated how false the materialistic models of consciousness are, I wonder if I would have any mystical literature at all. That is why I always advise that people get their mystical awakenings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312), first, before reading mystical literature. Otherwise, the reading experience won’t mean much to them. Those exceptional experiences (https://www.nderf.org/Archives/exceptional.html) are, well, exceptional. But people should not try to get an NDE experience, or they might not come back! :)

If I had not been awakened by my adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765), I not only would likely not have much worth saying, but I would have likely never encountered Noam and Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), and many other areas of my study over the past 30 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739).

Our home is lit up with Christmas lights, and we have some of them on all-year-long. Our neighborhood is lit up pretty well with the lights, too. It is quite a time of the year.

I don’t know what 2020 brings, but I just keep doing my work. It is not the turnings of the calendar that matter so much, but what we do in those turnings. The NDE accounts have that in common. What we do while we are here is what really matters.

Happy 2020, and nice painting. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I doubt that I can overemphasize what the grind of scarcity does to people. I grew up as a member of history’s most privileged demographic group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), I can only appreciate the relative abundance that I was raised in, but I also saw the beginning of the end, with the USA’s first energy crisis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline), and it has been downhill ever since for the USA’s middle class.

Being thrust into an urban hell after graduation (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), in a shark-tank professional environment, which helped me eventually realize that I was in a worthless profession (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting), seemed to be what that voice in my head had in mind (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), as I was prepared for my odyssey with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). It was the kind of education that you can’t buy, and when the dust finally settled in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate), I began to understand that I lived in a world of artificially enforced scarcity, and shadowy interests (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) orchestrated the obscenity that is the global economy, but what amazed me was how nearly everybody played along (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1976&viewfull=1#post1976), in their pursuit of self-service (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving). I had to experience it to believe it, and I resisted that realization every step of the way, until it was beaten into my head in no uncertain terms (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). I met some fellow travelers, those Boy and Girl Scouts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts), but it was really only a relative few (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). Oh, the lies I was raised with (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm), as was nearly everybody else in my society, although few of the oppressed minorities drank that Kool-Aid. I did not have to convince black people (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#lynching) how rigged the American legal system was, or American Indians (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint) or Mexican-Americans. They knew it all too well.

The ideologists of my great nation turned genocides (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide) into heroic tales or “mistakes (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#noble)” in our high mission of spreading freedom to the world. Those Big Lies can only work in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). Our material circumstances condition everything about our awareness, and in a world of abundance, the framework of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) that virtually everybody operates from will collapse, and nobody will miss it. The coming super-Epoch of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is currently unimaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) to the vast majority of humanity (well more than 99%), but it will only take a relative few of us (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) to make it happen. The technology that will form that super-Epoch’s foundation is older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Only when the new Epoch is here will the masses of humanity begin to awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink).

Best,

Hi:

I have written plenty on the evolution of my awareness on the issue of free energy, the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and how to get there, but a brief summary is in order:


I was trained to be a scientist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm) from a young age.
In 1974, during the USA’s first energy crisis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline), which ended the postwar boom (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) began making waves in both the federal government and the media, and my energy dreams began. That same year, I had my cultural (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#europe) and mystical (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) awakenings.
Three years later, when I realized what my scientific career might look like, I decided to do something else, and a voice in my head (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) suggested that I study business, in reply to my desperate prayer.
For the next four years, I drank the Kool-Aid of capitalism, but also began to question it upon graduation (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing).
After four years of postgraduate disillusionment (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting), I prayed for guidance for the second and so far last time in my life, was answered again (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), and I landed in the middle of the greatest attempt ever made (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run) to bring alternative energy to the marketplace. I have never heard of another story like that.
My initial orientation to the energy issue was the inventor’s, because of Mr. Mentor and friends, and after meeting Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), it soon became the businessman’s orientation.
Little did I know it at the time, but in Seattle, Dennis really stopped trying the pure businessman’s approach, for a few reasons. One was that he finally began to realize how rigged the capitalist game was, and the tax credit that made his programs so successful (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs) that they were wiped out by the local electric industry (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam), had expired.
Dennis could not get rid of me, however, and I chased him to Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing) to help rebuild his effort.
The day after I arrived (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=613&viewfull=1#post613), Dennis began thinking in terms of free energy, and I soon became his partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614).
Dennis immediately began putting a “patriotic,” Christian spin on our effort, neither of which was really to my liking, but I was determined to see where it would go, and rehabilitating Mr. Mentor was near the top of my list of priorities, if not at the top.
Soon after our first “Greatest Energy Shows on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum),” I brought Mr. Mentor out to Boston to assess what we were doing, and he not only did not call Dennis’s idea impossible, but he cut a secret deal (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page4?p=647&viewfull=1#post647) to bring our company to my home town, Ventura, California, and soon proposed his own free energy idea, of marrying (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry) the panels of Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#arrays) with his engine, and the rocket began to take off.
The sharks began circling in Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#middlesex), soon after Dennis hit town and especially our first shows, and we got what I now know was the friendly buyout offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), which usually works on free energy inventors and businessmen.
A few months after the rocket began to take off in Ventura, and when the second hydraulic heat engine came to Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer), Dennis began making big waves, and then we had the boom lowered on us.
The raid (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#raid) began my life’s worst year, and when that year finished, I had been radicalized.
Although my day on the witness stand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681) was the turning point of my life, it was really the culmination of many little awakening moments (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why) over the previous few years. When 1988 ended, I was finally awake.
I decided to sacrifice my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage) to give Dennis a slim chance of living to see this side of the bars again. It was a seemingly futile gesture that incredibly worked, in the greatest miracle that I ever witnessed.
But after Mr. Professor and I busted Dennis out of jail, I made it clear to Dennis that I was finished with taking 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), and I began the study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=734&viewfull=1#post734) that has resulted in my public writings when Dennis was still in jail (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=689&viewfull=1#post689).
Even though Dennis was out of jail, had a renowned attorney (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707), and the prosecution’s case was based on Dennis’s not filing a form, the wheels of corruption still ground away, and Dennis was kangarooed into prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate) after the judge took Dennis’s attorney hostage (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hostage), to force Dennis to capitulate.
I realized all of my journey’s key lessons by the time that I left my home town in 1990, to never return, and the most important of which is that the enemy is us (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). The reasons for our failures hinged on a lack of integrity from within the effort, not the external attacks so much. You could not have convinced me of that on the day that I met Dennis, but I had that lesson beaten into my head over the next four years.
We were definitely the target of an international conspiracy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), which became evident when “European interests (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer)” offered Dennis, through the CIA, a billion dollars to fold up the operation, and Dennis was jailed with a million dollar bail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail) soon after refusing the offer.
Soon before leaving my home town, I heard of Sparky Sweet (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1656&viewfull=1#post1656) and realized that free energy was not only possible, but that working prototypes existed.
Not long after those events, a close associate had free energy, antigravity, and other technologies demonstrated to him in an underground setting (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and I eventually realized that those technologies are older than I am, but have been sequestered from public awareness and use by history’s greatest cover-up, which is conjoined with the ET cover-up (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big).
Ever since he got out of jail, Dennis kept trying to get me to work with him again, but I always refused. When he got out of prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page3?p=243&viewfull=1#post243), after the authorities kept trying to get him murdered by the inmates (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), he began barnstorming the country, just as Brian published his first free energy book (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#miracle).
I was at the end of my rope with my job in the trucking industry (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=272&viewfull=1#post272), even went on Prozac for a few months, and Dennis coaxed me into coming back to work with him. I wrote my first website (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=821&viewfull=1#post821) just before joining him, but I was really in no shape to rejoin him.
In 1996, Dennis was in full “patriot (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel),” Christian, and businessman’s mode. I really didn’t see that we had much of a chance, and the sharks circled again (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=805&viewfull=1#post805).
Mercifully, my ride with Dennis that time was short, he allowed me to move back home to Seattle, and I have yet to leave. I then began working full-time for several years on what became my website today (http://ahealedplanet.net/home.htm).
Soon after completing my site, Brian coaxed me into helping him launch another free energy effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem). This one was a non-profit attempt to raise free energy awareness.
We began to plan a conference, the first speaker who committed for the conference was murdered a few days later (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland), and Brian immediately began planning his move to South America, where he spent the rest of his life.
Brian was soon kicked out of the organization that he founded by other board members, and all in all, the effort was another failure.
My studies continued, during my monster of a midlife crisis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife), which finally ended when Dennis arrived at my home to invite me to the White House.
When my midlife crisis finally ended after more than six years of agony, I began the study that resulted in my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm), and Brian came back into my life.
The effort that Dennis tried to coax me into took me back more than 30 years, as he tried to wring more energy out of a gallon of gasoline. David Rockefeller (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) got involved, Dennis was soon banned from the energy industry in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), and the officials and media performed their usual deceptions.
I thanked my lucky stars that I did not take up Dennis on his offer, when I saw the final attacks on his effort, and I kept up with my own studies and writing.
I came to understand, back in Ventura, that the conspiratorial (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) aspects of free energy suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) were relatively minor (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=714&viewfull=1#post714). Once again, the enemy was us, and organized suppression is at least 90% structural (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=722&viewfull=1#post722), of people’s just doing their jobs, not really on it, and when they got Dennis in a headlock, his associates were then able to steal Dennis’s companies from him (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), while provocateurs were in the mix (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (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)).
My effort has long been focused on combined positive intention (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) and helping my readers gain a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). Americans have not been my target audience since 2004, partly because they are history’s most brainwashed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing) population.
If enough people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) achieve the required level of awareness and understanding and form what I have called a “choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir),” organized suppression will not be effective, and bringing free energy to the public, which will form the foundation of the new Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), will be easy.


That is the evolution of my awareness and how I arrived at my current approach, in a nutshell. I think about my approach every day, as I juggle my life and become an old man. An essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), likely book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481), and other efforts are in my future. I might have another 30 good years in me, and we’ll see how it goes, but humanity might not have another 30 years on the current trajectory (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). The race between education and catastrophe continues.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

This will be a little empire and media post. Last night, I was reading a chapter of Ed’s first posthumous book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1878&viewfull=1#post1878), on what an imperial tool Human Rights Watch is (here (https://www.globalresearch.ca/yugoslavia-human-rights-watch-in-service-to-the-war-party/5021) it is). Ed wrote plenty about them before (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#hrw), but that chapter was the most extensive that I had seen Ed write on the subject. In that chapter, Ed again wrote that after World War II and the Nuremberg trials, aggressive invasion of other nations was defined as the supreme international crime (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#jackson) and the greatest violation of human rights, and the USA formulated that definition.

But Human Rights Watch, and to a lesser extent, Amnesty International, adopted a “human rights” definition that not only omitted that greatest of human rights violations from their framework, but they actively supported American invasions of the USA’s target nations, such as Yugoslavia and Iraq. They turned the human rights issue upside-down, as they focused on what bad leaders those target nations had, to justify invading them for “humanitarian (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record)” reasons, to enact regime change. In summary, those so-called human rights organizations actually support the world’s greatest human rights violations, for “humanitarian” reasons. It is just another Orwellism (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#orwell), which the West excels at. It would be like if they cheered for Hitler’s invasion of Poland, for “humanitarian” reasons, and their “human rights” focus was on what crimes the Polish leadership might have committed in response to the German invasion. They did exactly that when Rwanda was invaded (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda), which began the greatest genocide since the USA’s multiple genocides (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1). Actual genocide does not seem to be a human rights violation, in the lexicon of those “human rights” groups.

One of my awakening moments was when I received a plea from Amnesty International to help them campaign to have Milosevic delivered to the Hague tribunal, which was a kangaroo court (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#icty). I asked Ed about it, and he agreed how scandalous it was (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project?p=1101&viewfull=1#post1101). I stopped donating to Amnesty International after that. :) I also stopped subscribing to a “liberal” newsletter that lauded the American invasion of Yugoslavia as a “just war.” In my experience, so-called “liberals” are simply imperialists with humane rhetoric. They are arguably more dangerous than unapologetic imperialists, as they help cloak the deadly affair in a “liberal” and “humanitarian” disguise. As Ed wrote, the hypocrisy is so far off the scale that he had to come up with a new term to describe it (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah).

This morning, I was reading a Washington Post article on Syria (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/12/28/idlib-could-become-worst-humanitarian-crisis-syrias-civil-war/). There is not a word in it that the so-called Syrian Civil War is just another “regime change” war, as Tulsi Gabbard calls it. And here (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/tulsi-gabbards-syria-record-shows-why-she-cant-be-president/2019/08/01/f804c790-b497-11e9-8949-5f36ff92706e_story.html) is Washington Post, calling Gabbard unfit for the presidency, because she does not embrace the “humanitarian” party line on Syria. Syria is just the latest nation on the USA’s imperial hit list (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#clark). In ways, it is refreshing to see Trump admit that it is all about the oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1991&viewfull=1#post1991), which earned him high praise from Assad, as the USA’s best president, for his transparency. It has always been all about the oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate) in that part of the world, ever since the British Navy converted from coal to oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#churchill1) on the eve of World War I, and the fate of the Middle East was sealed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes%E2%80%93Picot_Agreement).

But the USA is not an empire; it is the world’s leader for promoting freedom, human rights, and humanitarian intervention, and a worthy successor to Nazi Germany, as it attacks and invades nation after nation, destroying them (or using puppets such as NATO (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#containment)). Noam and Ed wrote several books (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) on this issue long ago, and Noam has been the world’s leading intellectual for more than the past 50 years. History will judge the USA harshly, putting it in the same company as Nazi Germany (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward), the British Empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), and Rome (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#romefounded), as just one more genocidal empire. If you were a member of the imperial class, life could be good, but if you were an imperial target, life was not so good. Ed’s work is as relevant as ever.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As an addendum to my recent post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/68-Why-I-am-taking-my-approach/page2?p=2002&viewfull=1#post2002), which was a little summary of the evolution of my awareness, I acknowledge the conspiratorial features of the global system, but they are minor aspects of how our world works. Vastly more important is how the rest of humanity, that 99.999% of it, acts. To focus on the GCs and friends (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) as the root of our problems is delusional, paranoid, and thinking like a victim (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness) (which is a human specialty :) ), and something that the Right has a predilection for.

It is seductive to think that all we have to do is take care of a few “bad actors” and all is well. We are all responsible for this state of affairs (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#responsibility), not just the global elite, although they certainly punch above their weight. But to pretend that they don’t exist or are actively mischievous is also delusional (which the Left specializes in (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion)).

We have to think and act like creators to extract ourselves from this mess, and creators create with love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). That mentality denies nothing and acknowledges all.

Happy 2020,

Wade

Hi:

As an addendum to my addendum (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=2004&viewfull=1#post2004), none of my fellow travelers began their journeys as conspiracists or believers in the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc). It was only after repeated clobberings that we began to awaken to the idea that there might be a method to the madness of the attacks on us (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). And when you begin playing at the high levels, the wizard can come out from behind the curtain for a moment (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground)).

Getting those phone calls in the night, the friendly buyout offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), and the like were just hints that higher powers were at work. They are real, they are vigilant, and lone ranger free energy inventors are easily dealt with, one at a time, and the “lucky” ones will receive the golden handcuffs (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff), while the not so lucky will have their lives shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors) and suffer other outrages (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847)). But my greatest lessons were not that the GCs existed and were vigilant, but that the rest of humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) was their unwitting accomplice, as we helped them slit our own throats.

The GCs are a very real hazard for those playing in the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584), but a choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) has never been heard before on Earth, and I believe that its “harmonic effects (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers)” would be unstoppable. The GCs prefer to hide in the shadows, and they can slink away with my blessings when their time has come (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear).

Happy 2020,

Hi:

The global rackets (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets) are all similar in ways, as they all have ill-gotten wealth, secrecy, power, and control in common, while the racketeering methods can differ in subtle ways between them (and violence is typical (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), but more of a last resort than the first one). Organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) is a standard feature of keeping the rackets intact, but most of the actual suppression is structural in nature (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=722&viewfull=1#post722). The conspiratorial/structural (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=75&viewfull=1#post75) aspects of the rackets, and the debates around them, are similar to the rich/lean debate (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#intelligence) over animal behavior and cognition.

I will now present some examples in the medical and energy rackets, of how it works, and how most of the suppression is structural, as racket-threatening innovations find themselves in Catch-22s (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#catch22). Dennis and Sparky thought that they would get tickertape parades (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2)) for delivering the energy innovations that the energy establishment said that it seeks. Of course, the opposite happened. The sitting president’s energy advisor was one of Dennis’s fans (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872), but his support meant nothing when David Rockefeller (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) and friends got involved, and Dennis was run out of the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc) under the Obama administration, with the usual lies and deceptions that I am so familiar with. But Dennis’s so-called “allies” in the field are just as bad (lying about Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel) when they aren’t trying to steal his companies (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked)), as are the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel),” etc., which are only more examples 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). Whether they are free-lance liars and criminals (and many are public officials – 1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#pinch), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#prosecutor), 5 (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), 6 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care) – and members of the media 1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707), 2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681)) or paid provocateurs (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (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)) is relatively unimportant, as they all act the same.

Only one alternative cancer treatment has ever been subjected to the kind of testing in the USA that might allow it to become an approved treatment. The father of American medicine warned against just such an approval racket forming (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rush), and he was prophetic. The tested treatment was laetrile (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#laetrile), and the trial was rigged (http://ahealedplanet.net/mdaq.htm#laetrile) from the outset. When one of the world’s leading cancer researchers, working at the world’s leading cancer institute, obtained positive results with laetrile (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#moss), his employers suppressed the findings and fired the employees who called a press conference to announce the positive findings that were suppressed. How much of that was conspiratorial and how much was just CYA activity can be debated, and one of the fired employees has long been vocal against a conspiratorial explanation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1946&viewfull=1#post1946). He prefers a structural explanation (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#structural).

Berkley Bedell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkley_Bedell) passed away earlier this month at age 98, a ripe old age, to be sure. About 30 years ago, Bedell got prostate cancer, had it treated conventionally, and when it returned, he visited Gaston Naessens (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens), injected himself with Naessens’s treatment, and the cancer vanished and never returned (https://www.townsendletter.com/Nov2007/newyork1107.htm). Bedell was able to get an office of alternative medicine founded at the NIH (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Center_for_Complementary_and_Integrative_Health). Here is one of those “quack-hunter (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#quacks)” guys, predictably raking Bedell over the coals (https://www.ncahf.org/articles/a-b/bedell.html). When an American began to jump through the FDA’s hoops to make Naessens’s treatment legal in the USA, he soon found himself in prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#pixley).

Mr. Professor was “impossibly” cured of his gangrene (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#gangrene) by a similar “goat” treatment to the cow treatment that that “quack-busting” writer disparaged as a scam. He had to go to Mexico to get the treatment, where the facility had not yet been wiped out (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#keller) by kidnapping the director, which also happened to the man who cured Brian of skin cancer (https://drbrianoleary.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/greg-caton-testimonial-letter/). Not even Hitler got way with behavior like that (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#hitler1), but the FDA does.

When Bedell was a Congressman, he badgered the Department of Energy (“DOE”) enough so that they sent several DOE employees (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers?p=418&viewfull=1#post418), with Geiger counters in hand, to observe Yull Brown’s experiment in which he “impossibly” neutralized radioactive material. They witnessed the experiment in which more than 95% of the radioactivity vanished. Instead of pursuing those incredible results, the DOE personnel tried to get Yull’s operation shut down and turned logical summersaults and backflips to explain away the experimental results, and ran away as fast as they could, shrieking and tearing their hair.

A decade later, Dennis and I spoke at DOE hearings (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull) about the USA’s radioactive waste problem, and proposed Brown’s Gas as a solution. After the morning hearings, the DOE official who ran the hearings followed us to the parking lot and admitted to us that nuclear waste management was a racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#chain). But he promised to do what he could, and soon after our day at the DOE hearings, we got a call from the DOE, as some clerk went through the motions. You can see the DOE’s official response, here (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#doe). The bottom line was that there were no peer-reviewed scientific papers on Yull’s process, so the DOE could not pursue it. Well, if those DOE personnel had pursued Yull’s experimental results instead of fraudulently try to dismiss them, maybe there would have been peer-reviewed scientific papers published. It was very ironic to have the DOE use the lack of peer-review literature to dismiss us, when their own personnel should have produced it.

So, the conspiratorial and structural aspects of organized suppression interact with each other, and are both facets of the phenomenon.

Happy 2020,

Hi:

To my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2006&viewfull=1#post2006), average Americans would have their heads explode if they read it, which is why I keep writing that my work is not for the sleeping. People have to come to me already awakened in some way (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). Otherwise, the fight or flight response rears its head, as people react in fear. I have seen it all over the past 50 years, ever since my father “impossibly” reversed the hardening of his arteries (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons).

Those whose minds are neatly tied with the bow of their conditioning are not my target audience, and Americans in particular. I have watched them embrace certain death (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#doom) over question their conditioning, which was amazing to witness at first, but I now know that it is normal. They react similarly to the reality of free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) and its organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), and anything that flies in the face of official pronouncements.

I long ago realized that I seek needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), but they are out there, and enough of them to make my effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) feasible.

Happy 2020,

Hi:

I am doing some housekeeping duties to prepare for the new year. I just had a nice conversation with Mr. Professor’s widow (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), for the first time that we had talked in years. It has been a couple of years since I talked with Dennis.

Brian’s site might be gone. I have offered to host it when I saw it going down, but my offer was not accepted. It has come and gone since he died, and it has been awhile since I have seen it up. It is tiring to have my links to his site (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro) be dead, so I reproduced two parts of it on my site:


The DOE proposal that we wrote together (http://ahealedplanet.net/impacts.htm);
The synopsis in his last book (http://ahealedplanet.net/synopsis.htm), which included the chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/synopsis.htm#naive) that came the closest that Brian ever came to publicly discussing his life-shortening encounter (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) with the American military over the UFO issue.


There was a lot of Brian’s site that I am sad will not survive if this is a permanent issue, such as the antics of Lapis Pig (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#lapis).

On the essay update front, more chaos than usual descended on the company where I work, which got really bad in the past month, as well as other mayhem in my life, which has set me back. I have to try to wall off all of the distractions and get my work done.

I just put away Ed’s posthumous book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=2003&viewfull=1#post2003) and a Noam book, and a pile of other books and magazines, so that I can bear down and get it done.

Happy 2020,

Hi:

As 2020 is about to begin, there is reason for optimism, but it is also kind of surreal for me. I see articles like this (https://www.aier.org/article/whats-good-and-bad-about-automation/) on the promise and perils of automation, and in some corners, there is discussion of post-scarcity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy) and post-capitalist societies, but the energy issue is rarely discussed, and never in free energy terms. It is all about AI and robotic production, and maybe solar panels in space. Maybe a shorter workweek, and a few other benefits, but the environmental emergency (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) that we are in is rarely discussed in those circles.

That is all a very far cry from the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). The promise of the Fifth Epoch, as well as the global racketeering (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2006&viewfull=1#post2006), are two sides of the same coin, as far as the inability to even imagine them reflects how stunted those mainstream visions are. So, in ways, it is nice to see some of that “visionary” work being done, but on the other, it is whitebread stuff not far removed from what the mainstream media vends.

People have to be awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) and develop a radicalized perspective to be useful for the effort that I have in mind (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Otherwise, they are trapped in bland conventionality and their visions are mere extensions of a few obvious trends, but which fail to acknowledge key aspects of how our world really works. If people don’t understand how the world really works, their prescriptions for change won’t be very useful.

Happy 2020,

Hi:

On this New Year’s Eve, I am going to take stock of the past decade, the past year, and what 2020 may bring, in my life, my effort, and the world at large.

The decade began with Dennis’s being banned from the energy industry (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc) in the USA, soon after David Rockefeller got involved (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888). Uncle Howard died at the beginning of this decade (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), and Brian died the next year (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro), which was the same year that I began engaging the public again through Bill’s Avalon forum (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1). I have been at it almost nine years and am still going strong, as Bill and friends keep the trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) and other assailants at bay, and I have met quite a few allies this way.

I joined some other forums, and the admins attacked me after the trolls did (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)). The most common troll ammo used against me is when they repeat the Big Lies about Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2006&viewfull=1#post2006) in cyberspace, and then tar me with the same brush. And then the admins, of all people, would threaten and attack me, and even erase my work. With admins like that, the trolls can rest easy. My experience with trying to improve Ed’s Wikipedia bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) is a relatively mild version of that dynamic. The Internet increasingly resembles a sewer and disinformation mill, instead of a medium for the free exchange of ideas and information, but I am not giving up just yet.

I am the last man standing from my circle (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), and a couple of years after Brian’s death, I took a sabbatical to write what will be my lifetime’s magnum opus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm). I lost my job because of it, and had other disasters befall me as I wrote it, but no regrets. I am doing my best to make hay with the years I have left, and maybe I’ll get in 30 more good ones like Ed did. We’ll see about that. To a degree, I am carrying the torch of my fallen friends, saints that they were.

Ed finally cashed in his chips at age 92 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death), going strong to the end, and Noam is still at it, at 91. Retail politics holds little interest for me, but as an American, it is hard to escape it. That said, Trump is actually less imperial than his predecessors (although Operation Condor (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=1953&viewfull=1#post1953) seems to have been revived, and it was pretty funny when Assad called Trump the best American president ever (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1991&viewfull=1#post1991), when Trump essentially said, “It is all about the oil,” which American presidents and pundits could never seem to admit (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate)), and that has the USA’s retail political regime up in arms. In fact, Trump’s relatively congenial stance toward Russia was Hillary’s point of attack, and she sounded just like Joe McCarthy when I tuned in to one of debates, for the first time since the Perot debates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Perot_1992_presidential_campaign#Debates), for its entertainment value. Hillary (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#syria) might have started World War III by now.

I truly can’t keep track of all of the mass shootings in the USA today, in our gun-crazed nation, and the shooters are increasingly picking soft targets such as schools, churches, and malls, and just yesterday (http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/no-house-of-worship-in-america-is-safe), I read that all American churches should have armed security, to protect against such rampages. I live in truly insane times. The world’s central banks have been printing money like confetti for the past decade (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#mania), and it will all come crashing down. The only question is when.

This year was a challenging one on a personal level, as I struggled to keep my health during chaos at my day job and family turmoil, although I have no contact with my immediate family, as one of the many prices of my journey. I hope to get on top of the health issue in 2020. Consequently, I did not make the progress that I wanted to on my essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), but I have been recently doing a lot of housekeeping chores and clearing the decks of distractions, so that I can bear down and get it done and likely follow it with a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481), if all goes well. That is some years out, and if I can do it all by the time I reach 65, that works for me, but I hope to get the essay update done in 2020, and I have a lot to do. If all goes well, my forum posts will mainly be drafts of the essay update, and the next several months will be a hurricane in my day job.

Meanwhile, Earth is inexorably warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797) by burning the fossil fuels that power our industrial age, the coral reefs are dying at their fastest rate in Earth’s history (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1087&viewfull=1#post1087), by far, we are fast heading toward the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and humanity is in denial, not just about the problems of our own making, but the solutions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), too. It is a surreal situation for me.

So, a new decade begins, with many ominous trends in play, but I am going to do what I can to make a dent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), looking for those needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) and building my beacon, so that they can find me. And together, we’ll see what happens.

Happy 2020,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Welcome to the twenties:

As I start revising the scientific and historical chapters of the human journey, I am going to cut to the chase and summarize my views. They really have not changed much since I first published my big essay back in 2014. In short:


Humanity is the result of an evolutionary journey that took about four billion years. At the cellular level, we can see innovations that are billions of years old (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#life). Our animal heritage (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ediacaran) is about 600 million years old, vertebrates (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ward) appeared about 530 million years ago, land vertebrates (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tetrapods) about 375 million years ago, amniotes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#reptile) about 320 million years ago, mammals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsappear1) about 230 million years ago, primates (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#primate1) about 85 million years ago, simians (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#monkeysplit) about 45 million years ago, apes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proconsul) about 25 million years ago, bipedal apes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bipedskull) about 5 million years ago, hunting apes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus) about 2 million years ago, sophisticated tool users (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#msa) about 500 thousand years ago, world-conquering behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap) about 50 thousand years ago, farmers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran) about 10 thousand years ago, civilized humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer) about 7,000 years ago, literate humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing) about 5,000 years ago, industrialized humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spinning) about 250 years ago, flying humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wright) 117 years ago, space-faring humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo) almost 60 years ago, internet-surfing humans about 25 years ago, and smart-phone using humans about 15 years ago.



But the evolution that really mattered for humanity was completed by 50,000 years ago, when behaviorally modern humans conquered Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit). All humans today are behaviorally modern, with far more in common than differences (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up). Different skin colors reflect evolutionary adaptation from the dispersal of humans into diverse environments, and some other changes, such as lactose tolerance among herder societies, but they are all pretty minor changes. The human brain is about 10% smaller than it was 30,000 years ago, but it probably does not mean that humans are less intelligent than they were back then, but it probably reflects further evolution down the domestication path, as humans are less robust than they used to be, as we have become more tool-reliant.



Humans are also social animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason), and many features of our societies reflect that heritage. Some is baked pretty deeply into the human animal, such as smiling, a fear of strangers, the need for human contact, and many other traits, but many features of our societies reflect the Epochal stage of human development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), and that has been energetic and cultural, not evolutionary, for the past 50,000 years, which have always rested on humanity’s energy practices.



Many cultural features have deep evolutionary roots, but they are also not carved into stone. Infanticide (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#infanticide1) is nearly a universal trait of primates, and continues to this day in some agrarian societies, but it has died out in industrial societies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide#Modern_times). The scarcity that drove that practice has ended in industrial societies. Slavery was normal in agrarian societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning) but seen as evil in industrial ones (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas), but that change was purely economic, as the rise of machines made brute human labor obsolete.



In the Fifth Epoch, I easily foresee warfare becoming obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), along with poverty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), pollution and environmental destruction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#forest2), and many other traits of today’s human societies.


Nearly the entire point of my work is to argue that many grim aspects of human societies and the human condition will vanish when scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) are no longer the background hum of our world. It took me many years to finally understand the denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) that accompanies even mentioning free energy and the Fifth Epoch. The people that react that way can’t even imagine what is coming, and that is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). The technology that will usher in the Fifth Epoch is older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but is kept sequestered from humanity in history’s greatest cover-up (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2), and I can hardly find a person on Earth who has reached a productive understanding of those issues or is willing to try, but those are the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why), and I long ago understood what they would have in common (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69).

All of the indifference, denial, fear, naysaying, armchair “skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends),” trolling (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), and attacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=2010&viewfull=1#post2010) that I have encountered over the years are just people’s being stuck in their Epochs, as they revere the ideologies that feed them (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) and have been unable or unwilling to rise above their egocentrism (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). I finally understand them and don’t engage them if I can avoid it. I know that I seek very rare people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) on Earth today, and I relinquished any judgment of the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) long ago. It is just where the vast majority of humanity is today in their lives of quiet desperation.

The people I seek will raise their awareness beyond the negativity, the arguments on behalf of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation) and the rest of the forces of inertia, and dare to imagine something different (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance). They will come to understand that there are no valid evolutionary or “spiritual (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving)” reasons for thinking that with free energy, humanity would simply invent more ways to exploit each other, strip-mine the planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mining), and have planet-destroying wars. The evidence does not really support those views, IMO, and the masses will not begin to understand until the Fifth Epoch arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). It has been that way for all previous Epochs, and I don’t see why it will be different this time. But a relative few of us (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) can overcome humanity’s inertia and the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) and usher in an unprecedented super-Epoch of abundance. I think that it is worth trying to find out if humanity can grow up and finally become a truly sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1). It beats watching TV. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

We’ll see what the next year and decade will bring, and it won’t be dull. :) I probably can’t overemphasize the role that energy will play. The GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) know that it is the ballgame, although most of humanity is oblivious to that idea. When you are on the receiving end of organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), the stakes of the game begin to become clear. Humanity has its toes over the edge of the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and the GCs have their survival enclaves (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars) ready, in case it gets “rough,” but the rest of us are not so fortunate.

This is our home, and there is nothing else inhabitable for light years in every direction. Can we right the ship in time? That is something that each one of us will have to answer for. There is no escaping our responsibility (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#responsibility), and learning to accept our responsibility is arguably the most important lesson that we can learn in physical reality. We all have a hand in the state of affairs today, which also means that we can all do something about it. Do we hack at branches, or go for the root? 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).

Hi:

Well, that didn’t take long (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1329609&viewfull=1#post1329609). We’ll see if the assassination of an Iranian general begins World War III or not (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/01/03/us-assassination-of-top-iranian-military-official-may-ignite-world-war/). The situation is insane on so many levels. As Noam once said, the only way that American actions and punditry make any sense is if people assume that the USA owns the world (https://chomsky.info/20080101/). It was on display with Venezuela recently (https://www.commondreams.org/views/2019/02/04/venezuela-and-noam-chomskys-we-own-world), and that this latest assassination happened in Iraq is rich in irony, not to mention ominous.

After more than a decade of genocidal sanctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#continuing), the USA invaded Iraq under laughably false pretenses (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). Hitler had more excuse for invading Poland than the USA did for invading Iraq. As Ed often wrote about, at Nuremberg, the USA defined the supreme international crime as aggressive invasion of another nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#jackson), but the USA does it at will, and Ed had to come up with a new term for the USA’s actions and the punditry that justified it: chutzpah (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah). Ed wrote that “hypocrisy” no longer was adequate to describe it.

Ever since the USA overthrew the Iranian government (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iran) on behalf of the oil companies in 1953, the Iranian people have had a rough ride. Ed called Obama’s decision to negotiate with Iran instead of attack it his finest hour as president (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#iran). What Trump just authorized, on the heels of abrogating Obama’s nuclear treaty with Iran, is not one of Trump’s finest moments. Trump has never been a dove (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/the-persistent-myth-that-trump-opposes-war-11c3453d4917), not even with Russia (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/11/18/25-times-trump-has-been-dangerously-hawkish-on-russia/), as American presidents can’t afford to be, as they play the face of an empire. Carter, that peace-making and “human rights” saint, presided over the greatest proportional genocide since World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#carter), and he provided more weapons to Indonesia as it literally ran out of bullets during its genocidal invasion and occupation of East Timor.

On a related note, I have not read any of Robert Fisk’s work in years, but I just saw this (https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/syria-war-chemical-weapons-watchdog-opcw-assad-damascus-russia-a9262336.html), which is timely on the scandal over the “chemical weapons attack” by Syria that never happened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1975&viewfull=1#post1975).

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1329788&viewfull=1#post1329788):

I have been seeing this a bit over the years, as what have been called different species are being reinterpreted as adults and juveniles or males and females. What is amazing is how much more sophisticated the tools and techniques have gotten. Back in the 1990s, I read Women in Prehistory (https://www.oupress.com/books/9784668/women-in-prehistory) and other similar books (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#masculine). In one of them, the author remarked on how in the early days of archeological digs, the gender status of the exhumed skeletons were often inferred by the grave goods. Archeology has come a long way since then. :) The idea of T-Rex Junior’s “earning his teeth” on easier fare than a triceratops makes perfect sense. He may have snacked on mammals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nurse). :)

In Demonic Males (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonic_Males) is a chapter on how the early human line may have subsisted on roots as it left the rainforest (some chimps eat them today), and since Mr. Cooking Hypothesis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking) is the lead author of Demonic Males, I am sure that Wrangham thinks that cooking roots goes back a couple million years or so. So, 170 KYA is not a very radical finding, but interesting.

My take on the human journey and fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fires) in the essay update will not change much from what I wrote back in 2014, but I would say that Wrangham’s cooking hypothesis has held up well, and as you have seen, the early control of fire is increasingly accepted among scientists (2-3 million years is commonly encountered now, as you well know), which is a far cry from a generation ago, when Wrangham was ridiculed for his hypothesis.

IMO, fire was the biggest technological game changer in the human journey, and any society that mastered the control of fire would have never lost it, or would have likely gone extinct if it had.

On those improving toolsets and techniques, we’ll see what the future brings on continuing research on the early control of fire. It is one of the more fascinating subjects that I have encountered, and the changes around the control of fire had to be very dramatic, and Wrangham’s idea that it may have led to the appearance of Homo erectus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus) has merit, IMO. Homo erectus was a radical break in the human line, both anatomically and behaviorally, as they spread across Eurasia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#migrate1), which was a first since the Miocene apes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#apemigration).

Hi:

On the recent assassination of Iran’s military leader (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=2013&viewfull=1#post2013), what hardly any Americans know, because of the media’s propaganda barrage, is that the Lockerbie bombing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Am_Flight_103) was likely an Iranian operation, in revenge for the USA’s shooting down of an airliner (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#airline) (and giving a medal and hero’s homecoming to the commander who shot it down) several months earlier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655), but TPTB were eager to pin it on Libya, as it better served the day’s propaganda goals.

So, Iran is very capable of hitting the USA where it hurts, and we’ll see how events unfold, especially as the USA keeps up its murder operations (https://www.newsweek.com/six-iraqi-militia-members-killed-second-drone-strike-ordered-president-trump-baghdad-1480365) and has inarguably started a war, Trump’s protestations notwithstanding (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/01/04/we-do-not-seek-war-says-president-who-just-started-a-war/).

Fly safely, my friends,

Hi:

As the USA gears up for war with Iran (which I saw predicted when we invaded Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading)), a little historical review is in order. Part of today’s Iran was part of the Fertile Crescent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertile_Crescent), where domestication and civilization began. The goat was domesticated (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goat) in today’s Iran about 10,000 years ago, and the Karun River was one of the major waterways of early civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gilgamesh). So, the people of that region have a long history with domestication and civilization.

Persia was an early imperial power, fighting with Ancient Greece (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#persia) was a key event in the history of Persian civilization, and Cyrus the Great (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#persia) ended the Jewish Babylonian Exile (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#diaspora). Zoroaster is one of history’s great religious figures, and his influence is clearly seen in the Judeo-Christian religions (the good/evil duality comes from him).

Empires rose and fell in the region ever since the Akkadian Empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#akkadian), and Persian empires (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Empire) were part of the dynamic. Persia was devastated by the Mongol Invasions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mongol), losing 90% of its population, several centuries after the Islamic conquest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquest_of_Persia). A Persian dynasty several centuries ago converted Persia to the Shia branch of Islam (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safavid_conversion_of_Iran_to_Shia_Islam).

With the rise of Europe, the Persians and Ottomans gradually slipped into sleepy backwaters on the world scene, and were among the last places on Earth conquered by Europe. When Persia was finally conquered by Europe, it was under the neocolonial phase of American imperialism.

Just as the fate of the Ottoman Empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ottoman) was sealed when the British Navy converted from coal to oil in 1911 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#churchill1), in 1908, what is today called British Petroleum was established in today’s Iran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Persian_Oil_Company). Oil considerations have dominated all interactions between the West and the Middle East’s oil-rich nations for the past century.

I’ll write a little bit more about it in my essay update, but the differences between agrarian and industrial economies are profound, just as the differences between agrarian and hunter-gather economies were. To the world’s non-industrial peoples over the past century, the benefits of industrialization were obvious and, for every nation that could, they tried to industrialize after World War II, when all imperial powers besides the USA were greatly weakened. The Soviet Union’s pitch to Third-World nations was “industrialize within a generation.” Well, for those with access to fossil fuels, it was feasible.

So, as the world’s colonized people threw off the imperial shackles, they planned to industrialize. Iran had the oil, was sidelining the monarchy in favor of a democratic republic, in a process far less bloody than the American Revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers), and planned to nationalize their oil. The greatly weakened United Kingdom was not able to go out and reconquer the world, and they asked for the USA’s help in keeping the oil under Western ownership. In 1953, the USA overthrew Iran’s republic and reinstalled the monarchy. The British and French did something similar when it carved up the Ottoman Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes%E2%80%93Picot_Agreement) after World War I, although it invented monarchies in Syria and Iraq, for instance.

The world’s religions are agrarian constructs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1) and are partly a means of social control. When peoples industrialize, organized religion loses its sway. If Iran’s government had not been overthrown, Iran would be industrialized today and the Islamic church would be something like the Catholic Church is today in France, for instance, and Iran’s monarchy might look something like the British monarchy, as a curious, premodern relic, and a largely ceremonial institution. That Queen Elizabeth also runs the Church of England (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_England) is fitting, as both hail from England’s agrarian past.

The Dulles brothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles) were Rockefeller fixers for their entire careers, they ran the operation to overthrow Iran’s government, and American oil companies were the primary beneficiaries. Allen Dulles was the ringleader in the cover-up of JFK’s murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#dulles). JFK was just not imperial enough for the Eastern Oligarchy, and had to go.

Economic hit man John Perkins (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#neocolonialist) was taught by his original handler that while the operation to overthrow Iran’s government was a great success, too many official CIA employees were involved, so covert action began to get privatized, and a close relative was one of those contract CIA agents (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia) used to keep the Fortune 500 in the chips, at the expense of the rest of humanity.

During the Shah’s reign, Iran had the worst human rights record on Earth, according to Amnesty International. A former palace became a torture chamber (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_the_Qasr_Prison), and every single progressive organization in Iran was slaughtered. The official line was the “communist conspiracy (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#intelligence)” fantasy, but, as usual, the communists were barely involved. It was all about keeping Iran safe for capitalism and a lucrative source of oil.

The only non-royal institution allowed to survive under the Shah was the Islamic church, and that is why you see clerics running Iran today. We “advanced” Westerners often look askance at the theocracy in Iran, but we did it to them. The most secular Arab state was Iraq, and now look at it. It is so alienating to watch fat, comfy Westerners, who were beneficiaries of the bloodshed and exploitation, moralize about the failings of the nations in that part of the world. Their problems are largely of our making.

Hi:

The USA and Iran issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/138-Iran-and-the-USA?p=2016&viewfull=1#post2016) is sure to dominate the headlines for a while. As usual, the USA is taking a blowtorch to the powder keg (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=2013&viewfull=1#post2013). My public writing career began during the first Gulf War (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jesus).

Here are a few issues that we can be certain of:


As Trump recently admitted (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1991&viewfull=1#post1991), it is all about the oil in that part of the world, which is a big “Duh!” to everybody on Earth other than American pundits (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate) and the brainwashed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing) people who believe them.
All that will issue forth from Washington D.C. will be lies, usually of the Big Lie (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#hitler) variety, and it will reverberate through the echo chambers, of both the so-called “right” and “left” – virtually without exception, they are all imperialists. If any do speak out against the war or can lead an opposition effort, they can meet untimely ends (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1433&viewfull=1#post1433).
American negotiations (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#negotiate) are always fraudulent, and as with Yugoslavia, are merely shams used to justify the bombing (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#milosevic). When people possess the superior means of violence, they actively avoid genuine negotiations (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#subsequent), because in negotiations, they give up something (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early). The USA almost invariably just issues ludicrous ultimatums and then starts bombing.
The American media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) can be counted on to spin our awesome crimes into heroic deeds (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms) or, at worst, “mistakes (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#noble),” just as the Nazis did (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#mistake).


Those are all just aspects 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).

This is kind of making me feel old, but nearly 18 years ago, the American lie machine cranked up, as the Bush administration began beating the war drums for invading Iraq, which Noam has rightfully called the greatest crime of the 21st century so far. I knew that the coming invasion’s rationales were all lies, as I heard each one, and they all were exposed as lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). I wrote a letter (http://www.serendipity.li/wot/wade_iraq.htm) before the invasion on how it would likely turn out, and all of my pre-invasion concerns were validated by post-invasion reality.

Some voices in the media wilderness are reminding people of the constant lies of the American government (https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/the-us-government-lies-constantly-and-the-burden-of-proof-is-on-the-accuser-a8f7d4dd87a9), and how the media always swallows them whole and broadcasts them as the truth. This subject was one of Ed’s specialties (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#wmd), and if he was alive today, the current headlines would give him plenty of grist for his mill.

Wade

Hi:

I am bearing down on the essay revision, but the Iran situation will likely be dominant in my posts for some time. I was frantic when we invaded Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading).

I have written about Mr. Mentor’s epiphany (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#justify3) when working for the Navy. In the meetings, he was struck by the technical talk and euphemisms that obscured the issue at hand: slaughtering as many people in the most effective way possible. He realized that he would “be lost in their paradigm,” and would lose his soul if he stayed there much longer, and he soon retired.

I was reading an article about Iran today (https://consortiumnews.com/2020/01/05/the-human-cost-of-war-on-iran/) in which the author described the same experience as Mr. Mentor had, when she participated in a mock invasion of Iraq, soon before the real thing happened. All of those chickenhawks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickenhawk_(politics)), who never met a war they didn’t like, cannot even imagine the human cost of what they advocate.

Two of the better analyses that I have seen in the past day came from Craig Murray (https://consortiumnews.com/2020/01/05/the-usas-slavish-saudi-allegiance-against-iran/) and Chris Hedges (https://www.truthdig.com/articles/war-with-iran/). This one (http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2020/01/irans-deep-distrust-of-america-is.html) is a little light on the history, but a good introduction on Iran/USA relations.

Can we fast forward to the happy ending in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5)? :)

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I remember when it happened; when the USA invaded Iraq in 2003 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), it originally called the invasion “Operation Iraqi Liberation,” which has the acronym of OIL. Somebody noticed that Freudian slip, and they renamed it Operation Iraqi Freedom. It is nice to see that some people still remember that (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/01/06/us-empires-passion-for-iraqi-democracy-magically-disappears/).

The USA has never supported freedom and democracy in its international behavior. It has consistently done just the opposite (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection). This recent issue of “fake news” is an old one, just rebranded with a new name. Ed and Noam wrote the book on that (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) long ago, and Ed’s last Internet (https://monthlyreview.org/2017/07/01/fake-news-on-russia-and-other-official-enemies/) article was on the subject of the New York Times’s fake news on Russia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia), going back a century.

The USA is expert in providing the illusion of free elections (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#demonstration), free markets, fair trials (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#icty), and the like, but they only dupe whom they need to dupe, which is mainly the American people. Somewhere in Ed’s vast writings, he wrote that the free markets that the USA touts have never existed. I learned that the hard way during my days with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam), and during the month that I finally woke up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681), I saw the first public hint of what had been nagging me for years: my erstwhile profession was worthless (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting).

So, as part of the deadly circus (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/138-Iran-and-the-USA?p=2016&viewfull=1#post2016) playing out in Oil Country today, Trump’s open disdain for Iraq’s freedom (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/01/06/us-empires-passion-for-iraqi-democracy-magically-disappears/) is just one more sign of the times. That he could crow about how much Iraq owes the USA is kind of mind-boggling, and is another example of what Ed called chutzpah (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah).

Hi Wade

It's January 7th, 9 years since the creation of this thread. (Rolls in the sugar-free, organic birthday cake.)

As a little birthday gift I rustled together another montage. Over 40 images from the web cut 'n' pasted, painted, and dreamed into a whole new world.

https://i.imgur.com/TgR9AMw.jpg

In this scene there are two adults in the foreground who are sharing their consciousness and energy, connecting their benign frequencies to amplify the effects.

In the background is what appears to be a small city. But in a world of clean, abundant energy the 'buildings' could just as easily be huge ships, or combinations of vessels, that have landed temporarily to gather for a festival of creativity, or a data-sharing conference to monitor local ecosystems and interdimensional activity. They have been designed not to interfere with the land or the harmonious flow of its flora and fauna. Perhaps some vessels exist in a higher dimension, as more advanced beings mingle with the folk who fly in material vessels. In this transcendent world, where more and more people evolve through love, decency and integrity, 'lower' frequency people still emanate kindness, and are very highly evolved in heart and mind compared to the confused and wounded version of humanity that inhabited earth in earlier ages.

Even the water stream that flows into a waterfall beyond the trees in the distance could be designed and laid out swiftly and easily with advanced technology, and the water itself imbued with nourishing and healing properties for the local wildlife to enjoy.

In our current world, where budget limits and profit often shape agendas, a lot of design can be rushed or built without considering or accessing all available data, and large designs can interfere with an ecosystem, even having adverse effects. But in a world where clean abundant energy becomes available, and economies are based on the sharing of abundance, not the strains of competitiveness, large designs no longer have to be so permanent, or detrimental.

What an amazing, beautiful world we could have. Basking in light, and love, and strength that is both profoundly grounded while extending our cosmic reach.


The other day I re-watched a documentary on youtube, covering the work of people like Geoff Lawton and John D Liu, as they work to rebuild ecosystems. Encouraging viewing in these times of so much unnecessary destruction. Seeing how barren or desert areas can be greened again. Hearing of how springs and streams return in response to the regrowth of ecosystems around them. How plants once thought extinct can emerge from the ground with a curious spirit.

It's so wonderful, and a relief, to remember how life can begin again, and (with a thread like this) visualise people participating in learning ways, both ancient and new, to tend the earth's living systems as we begin to live in a new kind of FE economy. An economy that eliminates both artificial scarcity and jobs that merely enslave people in drudgery, so that instead consciousness can be redirected and poured into collaboration and uplifting lives of care-giving.

Afterwards I watched another documentary about how 'trees will save our planet'. They are huge allies in our evolution, nourishing not only us but playing a crucial role in the ecosystems they inhabit, along with the mysterious fungal threads that network beneath them. I was struck by the statement of one individual, a forest activist who was interviewed in the second film, and how it pertains to this thread :

“We don't need elaborate technologies to save the planet at this point in time, we need to use our existing wisdom to keep what we know works. These native ecosystems. And we can build a sustainable society with new technologies.”

This man seemed like a decent human being. I believe I understand his point (he was partly referring to trees' capacity for carbon capture), and it resonates with my own feeling of how there is a danger with the growth of technology as it occurs under our current system that we can lose touch with old intuitive practices, the wealth of knowledge which interacting with forests physically and psychically can give us in very direct, visceral ways. The 'hands on' way many of our ancestors learned. He was also responding to a reference to Silicon Valley, and essentially saying humans can invent all the fancy gadgetry our minds can think of, but it's all just noise if it disregards the immense value of the earth's ecology. However, it would be a breath of fresh air to someday hear an ecologist or environmental activist talk about how we can apply advanced technologies and potentially the release of some suppressed technologies, to assist in not only safeguarding what we have, but to take an evolutionary leap beyond what is simply sustainable, into a realm of benign and responsible creativity. To eliminate people's motivations to plunder forest resources, how about applying advanced energy tech to remould the economy, and remove their economic incentive to do so?

One example of how tech can assist at the more basic level :

When I see the news of the fires raging through forests in Australia (whether they were caused by climate change, arsonists, accidents, or illicit operations for land grabs), or those that raged through the Amazon and parts of Africa last year - I immediately picture how cleanly powered antigravity ships could fly at high speed to collect ocean water, filtering / treating it appropriately en route to the fire, and spraying it over the areas that are burning. I've also seen videos about a prototype of sound technology that can put out fires by aiming specific frequencies at the flames. I think of how that could be developed to stop large-scale devastation, if the motivation and funding were there to develop it safely and allow it, or other technology that did not require water or chemicals, into the public domain. That's before you consider how advanced tech could help divert or destroy a comet before it decimated forests and all manner of life on a planet's surface. Perhaps it has already been used to do so in a way many ecologists, and the rest of us, are not even aware of.

As you've said many times, relying on everyone to change their ways and simply stop plundering out of good will is not dependable. We need systemic change that gives people the tools to live responsibly without forced austerity that perpetuates an unhealthy class divide.

The unique gift that this and related threads have given me through the years, is a place to explore how the right-minded application of technology can be an aid to our integration with and our protection of the earth, not a distraction from her that plunders her insistently. Collaboration with her, as opposed to disruption. How it can take us beyond sustainability and into unimagined realms of growth and abundance. Not gluttony, or material luxury as 'abundance' is sometimes perceived today. But abundance of opportunity, and freedom to breathe and grow in ways that lead us away from childish toys (which attempt to fill a spiritual void or plaster a psychological wound), and draw us out of those patterns into a world that aligns with our deepest creative potential.

To many, currently, creativity might be measured by how many paintings you sold, or inventions you patented. What if tomorrow, in a responsibly created FE world, it's measured by billions of our souls in how deeply you learned to love an ocean, or how many ways you discovered to journey to other dimensions and make a healing and welcome difference. What if creativity will be enjoyed by a future planetary community in ways we can't even imagine yet.

Spiritual thinkers talk of how the past and future, in one way, do not exist, only the present moment – and by being truly present in the moment, the here and now, we are more effective. Equally we can learn from the past and our history in order to better understand the present, and also draw the uplifting visions of a healed 'future' world into our present to help heal it. It's in a similar way that I enjoy imagining a world that has the best of both worlds. The spiritual depth and psychic, physical connectivity that we and our ancestors have felt in walking the earth - skin to skin as our bodies and minds brush her soils, her bark, her leaves and her waterways; combined with the practical ways technologies can be formed to lift people out of the oppression that has existed for eons and been so destructive. We can use tech to eliminate slavery and poverty, and apply it as guardians of our planet, just as many of the ecologists and spiritual teachers of today have used it to travel and share and process information so they can relay it to the world. To do that doesn't mean gadgets for gadgets or greed's sake. It means systems designed and created to improve things, with the highest good of all in mind, and a clean energy culture, in our intent and in our creations, underpinning that evolution.

It's been said before through these hundreds of pages. But I repeat it like a prayer, and continual meditation.

So thank you for continuing to write and to share the hundreds of links to endless sources, as you do. Almost daily here, for nearly a decade.

It's a way of loving our potential as human beings, of holding in mind the astonishing and benevolent beings that we can, in very practical ways, become. Despite the mess around us.

It's about dreaming an entirely new world into being.

Thank you.

Birthday cake for everyone :)

More later, my dear Melinda. I needed that.

Yes, it is still January 6th where I live, and yes, today is the ninth anniversary of being here, and bringing people like you into the fold had made the effort more than worthwhile.

Thanks,

Wade

Wow.....has it been 9 Years already!!...............
Melinda, thank you so much for your loving vision-confirming post. I've been 'sitting on the fence', mostly.....and learned a lot.
Thank you, Wade for helping us understand this complex system. Being a 'comprehensive thinker' myself, I know how important it is, to at least see the fuzzy 'Gestalt' of the system in order to place concrete impulses/leavers, where they are most effective in "dreaming an entirely new world into being". Melinda, mentioned some powerful ones -- coincidently my favorites, I am working on: permaculture, systemic thinking, free energy. Thank you for pointing out Geoff Lawton and John Liu...I hadn't heared about them.
You refered to the students who invented a sound extinguisher. As far as I know, the first experimenter was Charles Kellogg, the 'Bild Man', who extinguished fires from miles away with his voice! Amazing.

Hi:

As I sat down to write my big essay, I never really expected that all of a sudden, I would hear thousands of voices raised in song (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), to help sing the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) into existence. I knew how radically different my work was, so radical that I had to come up with something new, and called what I was arguing for “epochal.” Even with my crazy journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), the idea of epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paradigm) did not really begin to become clear to me until around 2010. It was only as I wrote my big essay that I realized how unimaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) each Epoch was for the people who lived before each Epochal event. The so-called Industrial Revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) was more than a century old before anybody realized that it was a revolution. It was up to writers such as Marx (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#marx1) to point it out.

When I staggered out of my home town in 1990, radicalized, Noam’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) was the first that I encountered (and Ed’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot), but Noam was whom I focused on). I was the most eager of students, learning at their scholarly feet, and it still took me about two years to finally understand Noam’s message. I then wrote him, we had a brief correspondence before I got the polite brushoff, and nearly a decade later, I began my correspondence with Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1599&viewfull=1#post1599).

I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet) in 1991, just as he was getting his feet wet in the free energy milieu, but it was another decade before we began to collaborate in earnest, five years after he began his ride as the Paul Revere of Free Energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere).

So, in a lifetime, these can seem like very slow-motion events, with ten years for relationships to begin to develop, years of digesting somebody’s message before the light finally goes on, and the like.

Krishna first encountered my work around 2002, not long before I stopped publishing my email address (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), as it was getting to be too much to allow the public to have easy access to me. I may never find students much more faithful than Krishna has been, but it still took him about two years of studying my big essay before the light finally went on for him, and he is still early in his learning curve (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/125-The-Journey-from-Unawareness-to-Knowledge?p=1574&viewfull=1#post1574). :)

I long ago accepted that this is what my effort would look like, and how it would progress. I may seem like a voice in the wilderness today, but all worthy efforts began this way.

If you read of Noam’s early days of protesting the Vietnam War, in about 1965, his audience would be a few people in somebody’s living room, one of whom wanted to kill Noam for the “terrible” things that he said about our beloved nation, as it committed genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early). The first book that Noam and Ed wrote together was subjected to one of the most outrageous instances of censorship (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) ever. Six years later, they produced something several times larger (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#second), Noam has been smeared ever since (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia) because of it, and Ed’s Wikipedia bio today is an exercise in libel (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751), as the trolls have a field day (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1621&viewfull=1#post1621).

Dennis should be dead dozens of times over, Brian’s life was shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) due to his adventures, and I am getting off kind of easy, with my scholar’s and visionary’s life, in my “spare” time.

To Melinda’s latest (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1330261&viewfull=1#post1330261), it is an honor to have this thread (and others (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth)) be a canvas for her. In her own way, Melinda understands very well what I am doing. In that heavenly Roads world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), their conception and use of technology is a far cry from today’s versions of it. Melinda has it right, in that technology and consciousness will partner together in the Fifth Epoch. There are hints of it today, such as with psychotronics. I have witnessed some amazing demonstrations of it, but the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are using the dark side of it (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak) today. On Earth, our lessons are all centered on choosing love (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#jesus) or failing to.

When I first drafted my big essay, before I published it, Reinhard (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1330308&viewfull=1#post1330308) was one of my early readers, giving me helpful feedback. This little timeline (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) is partly due to his influence.

So, this effort is coming along, although it is still in its embryonic stages, a very long way from the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) that I have in mind, but it is crawling along. Bill and friends play gracious hosts, I do what I do, Krishna scours the scientific and academic waters, Melinda makes her poetic posts, and Reinhard and others chime in periodically. The biggest event in the human journey takes time to manifest, and my journey is teaching me the meaning of patience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :)

January 6th is when I joined Avalon, and it is an “interesting” date for me. My mother and favorite aunt (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page8?p=914&viewfull=1#post914), who was a better mother to me than my own mother was (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492) during my trials and tribulations, were both born on January 6th, and I like to think that it is no coincidence.

To another nine years,

Wade

Hi:

It is not a new theme of mine, but I will write more on it in my essay update, and I just drafted this:


Human nature, the human condition, and the human potential are different concepts. Human nature has changed very little since humans became behaviorally modern (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap). The past 60,000 years or so have largely seen changes in the human condition and realizing some of the human potential. Our future may be one in which humanity finally realizes its potential in ways that are scarcely imaginable today, if the coming Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) of the human journey that I argue for arrives. The human condition will also change in dramatic ways. Human nature will also change, and perhaps appreciably.


The coming essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447) will focus on the human animal and human societies more than the original essay did. The changes to the essay’s first half (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint) will be relatively modest; the essay’s last half will see the greatest changes.

I will make it clearer in my essay update that no human society ever rose far past its material realities. When there was relative plenty, there was peace. When things got scarce, it got violent. When the energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus) increased, it was put to use in many ways, for human benefit. The energy surplus of early civilization led to professions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#professions), as some of the population was freed from subsistence duties and, of course, elites appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear), and they are still with us (but maybe not for long (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear)). But specialized farming also made its rise, as did slavery. It was not until the rise of the Industrial Revolution‘s machines (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spinning) that slavery ended as an institution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend).

Even though Ian Morris is a white male scholar, with the biases that that role entails (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1794&viewfull=1#post1794), what he got right, especially in his Foragers, Farmers, and Fossil Fuels, is how conditional human morality is. What is normal and “moral” in one Epoch (such as slavery in the agrarian Epoch) becomes evil in another (the industrial Epoch).

As Melinda noted in her latest post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1330261&viewfull=1#post1330261), the Fifth Epoch will not arrive by admonishing each other to “play nicely.” Warfare has always had its roots in scarcity, and warfare will only end when everybody lives in abundance, and economic abundance most importantly (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance). Melinda also brought up a good point, in that the coming super-Epoch of abundance will also have an abundance of opportunity, to pursue our human potential, and in ways that can be hard to imagine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) today. That is a key theme of mine and part of the “bait” for building the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir?p=81&viewfull=1#post81). With free energy and the related suppressed technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), this kind of world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) easily comes into view. Without it, it can’t happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity).

When the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) understand that, then they will be able to keep their eyes on the ball much more easily. It is something worth focusing on. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

In Brian’s last years, as I helped him approach the DOE (http://ahealedplanet.net/impacts.htm), as Brian could not leave Washington D.C. alone (he admitted his codependence with it in his last book), while Dennis was being run out of the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc) at the same time, only a few years after being invited to give a demonstration of his technologies by the White House (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872) (and Dennis and I approached the DOE (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull), too), Brian pondered the role of government in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

I can’t recall at the moment exactly what Brian was responding to in my work, but it may have been part of my lessons learned essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm), which was initially a letter to Brian. I have long argued that warfare would become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) when everybody lived in abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance). Prisons as we know them will cease to exist, as well as punitive legal systems. The world as we know it will end, and very few of today’s practices, institutions, and political entities will survive for long in the Fifth Epoch, which is one reason for all of the denial and fear around free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1).

Government in the Fifth Epoch won’t look anything like today’s governments, and such “government” will be primarily concerned with promoting and enabling:


Safety
Harmlessness
Peacefulness
Abundance for all


The profit motive behind capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit) will vanish in the Fifth Epoch, and will be seen as an extremely primitive social construct, not far removed from slavery. Greed will no longer be a virtue (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), along with the idea that boys do not become real men unless they have been soldiers (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), and the many other terrible ideas that are taught to today’s youth. Celebrity culture will disappear, and I could go on and on about what becomes obsolete in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/66-What-Becomes-Obsolete-with-Free-Energy-and-Abundance?p=91&viewfull=1#post91).

Today’s EPA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Environmental_Protection_Agency) and FAA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Aviation_Administration) are precursors to what such institutions might look like in the Fifth Epoch, but they would be seen as very primitive precursors, probably unrecognizable when compared to Fifth Epoch institutions. The FAA is deeply corrupt (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1427&viewfull=1#post1427), as are all agencies, in our world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). In the Fifth Epoch, pollution (even sound and light pollution) and environmental destruction will seem as stupid as playing Russian roulette is, and nobody is going to need to be reminded for very long about not engaging in such practices. What will replace the EPA will be an institution that actively partners with nature and promotes harmony, not cleaning up toxic dumps. Something like UNESCO, which the USA has always been hostile toward (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#unesco), will thrive in the Fifth Epoch.

In the early Fifth Epoch, I do expect an effort that might last a generation or so, to clean up our mess (space junk (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spacejunk), landfills, roads, oceanic pollution, today’s cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities) will be remediated back to natural environments, etc.), but after that, such efforts will no longer be needed. People won’t make a mess to start with.

And the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) can wrap their minds around those ideas without going insane, running away and hiding, attacking, and the many other dysfunctional reactions that I have witnessed over the years. With free energy and the attendant suppressed technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), those changes are not very hard to foresee, and it is also obvious that without those technologies, those changes are not feasible (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). Free energy has to happen, first, for the Fifth Epoch to manifest, just like tapping new energy sources was the foundation for all previous Epochs of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable).

The GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) know very well what I am writing about, which is why they have been so vigilant (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) to keep free energy, antigravity, and the like sequestered from public awareness and use, and the vast majority of humanity plays right into their hands. I seek the few (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) who do not shuffle along with the herd, carry the GCs’ bags for them, etc. Only they can help make a dent, and I long ago realized what they will have in common (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69).

Best,

Wade

Hi:

A key aspect of what I do, on the free energy issue, is point out what has not worked and why (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). It is not only intended to help shorten the learning curves of aspirants, but to keep them away from disaster. Many lives have been shortened (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847)), wrecked, and the like. I am constantly approached by free energy newcomers with their bright ideas, which are usually along Level 10 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) lines, and the best of them come back to me, chastened, with tales of ostracism, indifference, and the like, usually after they tried to proselytize the “good news” to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). After being at this for more than 40 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), I have very few people whom I can discuss this stuff with, and pretty much nobody in my family.

If people don’t sail to disaster amongst their social circles (careers have ended by such proselytizing), another time-waster is to get stuck in the free energy field’s state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), with its focus on inventors, scientists, promoters, and the like. On my Avalon thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=91260&viewfull=1#post91260), you can see newcomers promoting Rossi (“He has it!”), Keshe (“He is the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah)!”), and so on, which has mercifully died away (until the next inventor-of-the-hour arrives on the scene :) ).

I have seen at least a dozen alternative physics models to explain how free energy is possible, and they can’t all be right. When I get people who just have to digest some free energy theory, I direct them to Sparky’s paper (http://www.rexresearch.com/sweet/1nothing.htm). Sparky had the goods, and had hell to pay after he mailed off working prototypes to the leading energy institutions, expecting the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2), similar to what Dennis expected (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1) when he hit Seattle in 1984. They learned their lessons the hard way, and I am trying to prevent their lessons from falling into oblivion, as newbies rush out to scale the ramparts.

Mainstream scientists are going to be about the last people on Earth to wake up to free energy, not the first. When free energy technology is delivered to the public, only then are scientists going to study them in their labs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level4), to eventually pronounce that free energy is possible (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3). :) That is just what scientists do. I recently wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2006&viewfull=1#post2006) about when some DOE scientists were ordered to investigate Brown’s Gas when the DOE was badgered enough, and with Geiger counters in hand, they witnessed Yull’s famous demonstration of neutralizing radioactive material. Those scientists tried to get Yull’s operation shut down and turned logical backflips to explain away what their Geiger counters told them, and ran away as fast as they could, shrieking. That is a typical scientific reaction (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#brookings). If any of those shrieking scientists received the show that my friend did (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), their heads would have exploded.

Scientists and inventors are very small pieces of the free energy puzzle (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#summary), and should be treated as such, not as the focus of free energy efforts. My initial orientations were the inventor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=709&viewfull=1#post709) and businessman’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=710&viewfull=1#post710), and I was trained to be a scientist from a young age (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm). All that I will do today on the science front is show how the giants of physics sure did not declare free energy “impossible (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf1)” and “contrary to the laws of physics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3).” The great ones were never dogmatic, and understood very well how little (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#einstein) we know about the universe and how it works.

Hi:

I was rereading part of Zinnophobia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/34-History?p=1814&viewfull=1#post1814) in recent days, and what really stands out is the irrationality and ethical bankruptcy of Zinn’s critics that Zinnophobia examined. In particular, I read the section on Sam Wineburg’s critique of A People’s History of the United States. His original critique is here (https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/periodicals/Wineburg.pdf), and Wineburg keeps it up to this day (https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/09/howard-zinn-in-history-class-teachers-and-a-peoples-history-of-the-united-states.html). Here is a teacher responding to Wineburg (https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/what-sam-wineburg-gets-wrong-about-teaching-aphus). Here is an excerpt of Zinnophobia (https://www.howardzinn.org/history-distorted-sam-wineburgs-critique/) that deals with Wineburg’s critique. You can read most of the part of Zinnophobia that deals with Wineburg’s critique, here (https://books.google.com/books?id=yCNtDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT157&lpg=PT157&dq=sam+wineburg+zinnophobia&source=bl&ots=hl4zMTrK9T&sig=ACfU3U10ujVwjdfkWdmVx7QltiwCfDdZOw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi_6_Oq1_vmAhWVsJ4KHSKzCQ0Q6AEwBHoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=sam%20wineburg%20zinnophobia&f=false).

Sam Wineburg (https://ed.stanford.edu/faculty/wineburg) teaches at Stanford, so he is not some kind of rabid right-wing fringe critic. Noam’s coming out essay, as far as his political work goes, was on the responsibility of intellectuals (https://chomsky.info/19670223/), and how they had the time, resources, ability, and training to see through Establishment propaganda and conceits and expose them publicly. However, ever since, the work of Noam and Ed has largely been about the failures of intellectuals (as Orwell also wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#threadbare)), as they not only failed to expose the Establishment’s lies, but invented and parroted them. That Wineburg keeps up his assault on Zinn’s work, when Wineburg’s lies and bogus arguments have been thoroughly exposed, reminds me of Mr. Skeptic’s work, as he just kept coming up with new lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#attack2006) when his former ones were exposed (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#article). Wineburg and Mr. Skeptic meet the functional definition of psychopaths in their work, as they both go on the attack, making up lies from the thin air, and never demonstrating anything that resembles a conscience.

These are all more examples 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). That lack of integrity manifests in many ways, from the outright lying that Wineburg and Mr. Skeptic engage in, to intellectuals (including academics and scientists) who never question their self-serving ideological assumptions (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), no matter how much evidence flies in their faces. Those who awakened past the lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) are a rare breed indeed, guided to their awakenings by their hearts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) more than anything.

In Noam and Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), they often exposed the imperial conceits in academia (and Noam discussed how they went “berserk (https://taibbi.substack.com/p/preface-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky-the-fairway)” when it was pointed out to them), as academics licked the hand that fed them. Dissidents such as Ward Churchill (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#churchill) get railroaded out of their careers, while liars such as Wineburg sip cognac (or sherry (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sherry) :) ) in their comfy berths. Noam regularly emphasized the unconscious aspects of this situation, showing how academics and journalists simply absorbed their indoctrination and were not even aware of the false framework that they operated within, so they never questioned what they were not aware of. I always thought that Noam took it too easy on them. I began questioning the fairy tales of my capitalist indoctrination (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing) soon after graduation, although it still took several years for me to finally get it (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), and I sometimes wonder how much I would have gotten it if I had not met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601). It took Ralph McGehee 16 years and his career’s greatest success (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#colby) to finally figure it out (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), so I can appreciate how long it can take to wake up, but we all have opportunities to, and we will all answer for lost and rejected opportunities.

Ed was a bit more critical, and he and Noam kind of had a falling out over that, as Noam thought that Ed’s work, such as taking on the Cruise Missile Left (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cml), “fragmented” the Left.

While there certainly is an unconscious aspect of parroting the propaganda, or concocting it, we all get to answer for our behaviors, which is actually the point of being here (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nde), and those who refuse to awaken, when given ample opportunity to, will answer for it, and it is far better to awaken while we are here, rather than in the life review.

Those kinds of academic behaviors are another variation of what Brian received (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) from the tops of the world’s scientific, academic, and “progressive” institutions, as he played the Paul Revere of Free Energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere). It got so bad that Brian began openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience), and I sadly understood his question.

All of those soul-sold academics are just what we get in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). They can be found in all corners, such as the largely phony Global Warming “debate (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797),” debates on history, free energy, and so on. In that way, what Dennis and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) encountered was very similar to what Ed and Noam did, although Ed and Noam were mere intellectuals in their comfy academic berths while Dennis and Brian risked their lives (Noam and Ed did risk their careers, however, and Noam expected to go to prison for his Vietnam work). Brian’s life was shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) because of his activities after he left the sherry-sipping fold, and Dennis should be dead dozens of time over.

Connecting those seemingly disparate situations is how comprehensive perspectives are built, which is a key aspect of my work (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), and arguably the key aspect. When people develop comprehensive perspectives, they can more easily shed the self-serving conceits underlying the dominant ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and become truly sentient (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1).

Only the truly sentient and awake can help with this Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

Hi:

I’ll probably be writing about Ed, Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), and Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm) for the rest of my life, as well as Dennis, Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), etc. It just comes with the territory of what I do, and a post about any of them can crop up, even as I bear down on the essay revision (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447) and likely book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481). I’ll leave my latest on Howard alone for now, but I would like to mention that I read Wineburg’s tripe not long after that scandal erupted over an attempt to ban Howard’s book from Indiana classrooms. Not far removed from how Ed’s bio is (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1751&viewfull=1#post1751), Wineburg has a place of prominence in Wikipedia’s section on critiques of Howard’s magnum opus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Zinn#Controversy_and_critiques), without one word about how bogus Wineburg’s critique is (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page3?p=2024&viewfull=1#post2024). That is typical Wikipedia treatment, about as fair and balanced as Fox News is.

When I read Wineburg’s critique (https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/periodicals/Wineburg.pdf), back around 2013-2014, I strongly suspected what Zinnophobia confirmed (https://books.google.com/books?id=yCNtDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT157&lpg=PT157&dq=sam+wineburg+zinnophobia&source=bl&ots=hl4zMTrK9T&sig=ACfU3U10ujVwjdfkWdmVx7QltiwCfDdZOw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi_6_Oq1_vmAhWVsJ4KHSKzCQ0Q6AEwBHoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=sam%20wineburg%20zinnophobia&f=false), but I was in the throes of writing my big essay, and had no time to do what Zinnophobia’s author did. What a great public service Zinnophobia is. I had to do a far more modest effort with Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms) and I have fielded libel against Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1893&viewfull=1#post1893) for many years, so I know that disagreeable territory, but somebody has to do it.

I really hope that I don’t have to do anything like that again. On one hand, setting the record straight creates its own satisfaction, but I am essentially unmasking criminals with such work, and I really would rather not have to do it. I like writing about the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) and trilobites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#trilobite1) more. :)

Hi people:

An impending volcano eruption in nearby Taal Volcano here in PH. Last eruption of the volcano was in 1977. Our family was still living within Metropolitan Manila at that time before moving to where we are now in 1992.

We are currently experiencing ash falls now here but we are thankfully far away from the danger zone. There is a 14 km danger zone set around the volcano but we are at least 50 km away from it so that's good at least. But sending prayers and hoping for your own prayers to all of those affected, especially the towns nearby who are currently evacuating.

Hi:

My hurricane at my day job has hit with full force, I will be fairly quiet on the posting front for the next few months, will use my “spare” time to work on my essay revision, and will post up draft sections as I revise them.

That said, here are some odds and ends on recent events. The situation in Iran is obviously the biggest news. Iran admitted that it accidentally shot down an airliner (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-crash/disastrous-mistake-iran-acknowledges-shooting-down-ukrainian-airliner-idUSKCN1ZA04Y) as it responded to the USA’s assassination of Iran’s highest-ranking military official (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=2015&viewfull=1#post2015) (and a failed attempt on another official (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/on-the-day-us-forces-killed-soleimani-they-launched-another-secret-operation-targeting-a-senior-iranian-official-in-yemen/2020/01/10/60f86dbc-3245-11ea-898f-eb846b7e9feb_story.html)). Under the Nuremberg principles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_principles), the USA owns a piece of that, as it “broke the peace” by invading Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), and especially under transparently fraudulent rationales. That airliner falls under the “accumulated evil of the whole (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#jackson)” concept. The ongoing war in Afghanistan is also fraudulent (https://consortiumnews.com/2020/01/10/the-war-in-afghanistan-is-a-fraud-and-now-we-have-proof/), but what else is new (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early)? The media is trotting out the same war hawks who cheered on the invasion of Iraq (https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/01/09/has-nothing-been-learned-2003-corporate-media-welcome-back-iraq-war-hawks-make-case), arguing for war against Iran, but the media has been doing that for many years (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#wmd).

That assassination may have backfired (https://www.spectator.co.uk/2020/01/donald-trump-has-just-blown-up-his-goal-of-isolating-iran/), and in the USA, Trump has become some kind of crazy political football (http://www.alt-market.com/index.php/articles/4056-the-war-pigs-are-finally-revealing-themselves-and-this-is-just-the-beginning) for bickering retail political factions, as the Empire falters (https://internationalman.com/articles/an-empire-self-destructs/). The American Empire and economy has been in slow decline (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline) ever since its postwar boom (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar) ended with the first oil crisis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert).

For his part, Trump still takes a blowtorch to the powder keg (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/01/09/full-scale-war-is-avoided-and-trump-goes-right-back-to-warmongering/), is screwing over Iraq once again (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/01/11/so-the-us-is-invading-iraq-again/), and there is a great deal happening (https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/01/08/the-deeper-story-behind-the-assassination-of-soleimani/) that the USA’s media is not reporting, as usual. When the USA shot down an Iranian airliner (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#airline), the American media went into overdrive to explain it away and even blame Iran, with the media’s usual Big Lies, while Iran has accepted responsibility for their accidental shoot-down and promised to prosecute those responsible. In stark contrast, the American commander who shot down the Iranian airliner got an award and hero’s homecoming for his deed. Wikipedia actually gets a point or two with a section on the media’s rank hypocrisy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655#Critique_of_U.S._media_coverage) on how it covered the shooting down of airliners, depending on who did it.

It is far from over in the Middle East and is likely just getting started (https://tomluongo.me/2020/01/10/after-missiles-fly-iraq-becomes-battleground/), as China comes to the table (https://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/Middle-East/Is-Iraq-About-To-Become-A-Chinese-Client-State.html) (is joining the Arctic land grab (https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/15401/china-arctic-power), but it may hitting its economic wall (https://gnseconomics.com/en_US/2020/01/10/the-end-of-the-chinese-miracle/), too), Russia tests new weaponry (https://www.businessinsider.com/russias-putin-oversees-hypersonic-missile-test-in-crimea-tass-2020-1), and the risk of nuclear war increases (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-01-09/game-theory-shows-risk-of-nuclear-war-is-growing-with-iran-rift).

Trump is unique among American presidents in how he cheers the stock market, coerces the Fed (Reagan (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#reagan) may have come in second), and other actions, so even though the stock markets are a truly insane levels (https://realinvestmentadvice.com/this-is-nuts-why-we-reduced-risk-on-friday/), Trump will do all that he can to keep them pumped up until the election. The collapse that is coming with be epic.

Venezuela has largely fallen off the news cycle for now, but whenever the media covers it, it is still inverted from reality (https://consortiumnews.com/2020/01/11/latest-episode-in-juan-guaidos-venezuela-regime-change-reality-show/).

Has anybody had enough of this? :)

It is challenging to know what I know (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), to envision what can easily come to pass (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) if only a relative few of us muster a little integrity and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), so that we can avoid the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) that we are currently staring into and live in something that resembles heaven on Earth. But I know of nothing more worthwhile to pursue.

In the Fifth Epoch, nations, races (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), cities as we know them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), money (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange), warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), poverty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), and many other aspects of today’s world will simply become obsolete and quickly vanish. There will not need to be any coercion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level9), but humanity will give up those human constructs like a child gives up training wheels. Slavery is no longer a hallowed institution, and nothing about today’s world is carved into granite, no matter how much the social managers try to make it seem that way (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#imagine). We can change it, and rather easily, but we have to aim at the root (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents).

Wade

Hi Serg (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1331142&viewfull=1#post1331142):

Prayers sent. Living near volcanoes is not fun, and sorry to hear of your challenges. Michael Hyson lost his home to a volcano last year (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/79-Introducing-Michael-Hyson?p=1464&viewfull=1#post1464), a distant relative died in the Mount Saint Helens event (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_eruption_of_Mount_St._Helens), and as the end of my career begins to come onto the horizon, living south of Seattle has been a leading option, but a lot of it sits on recent mud flows from Mount Rainier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahar#Places_at_risk). A warning system has been set up (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rainier_Volcano_Lahar_Warning_System), but for nearly everybody in the mudflow path, it will only give them enough time to say their final prayers before they meet their makers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#afterlife). We’ll see about those retirement plans. :)

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), nobody will be at risk from volcanic activity or any other natural disasters.

Hi:

Before signing off for now, I have wanted to write about an aspect of Dannion Brinkley’s NDE (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nde) for some time now. One of Brinkley’s future visions was about how China did backroom deals with Middle East oil-exporting nations, cutting out the USA. That is increasingly likely, and may already be happening. China is already a major player in Iraq, and it is taking full advantage of the USA’s imperial missteps in Oil Country (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/138-Iran-and-the-USA?p=2026&viewfull=1#post2026). Many of Brinkley’s visions did not come to pass how and when he saw, but that is the nature of the future (and his interpretation of what he saw (https://www.qsl.net/w5www/brinkley.html), as he has openly admitted). It never happens quite as envisioned, as all are probabilities that can be changed. But when I see what is happening in the Middle East today, I sometimes find myself thinking of Brinkley’s visions. The future is what we make it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I have a little extra time this morning, as we got four inches of snow last night and it is still snowing pretty good. Seattle never does well with snow, as the city and surrounding region shuts down. It is better than it used to be, as all-wheel drive vehicles are common anymore, but the area basically shuts down. Pics from the yard and street are attached. I’ll wait a little while before braving the commute to work.

I have written it many times, but most of my life can be characterized as a pursuit of the truth. I respect the processes and ideals that have been developed around that pursuit, such as how science and scholarship are ideally performed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories). As I think back to it, it might explain why I had no interest in fiction (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm) in my early days, when I was in training to be a scientist.

But ideals and reality are two different things. The news has been called the first draft of history, and Ed’s life (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#contribution) was largely spent in exposing how the “free press” really had little interest in the truth (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big). I had already received both barrels of that (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707) before I encountered Ed’s work, so I was very ready for his and Noam’s message (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv).

On history, Uncle Howard’s magnum opus (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm) was my wake-up call on that issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more). As with all other areas, in our world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), the historical effort in practice can be quite at variance with its ideal (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity). But the fact that historians sell their souls to the prevailing winds of wealth and power should not detract from the worthiness of the ideal. The same goes for the free press, even though it is a propaganda organ in practice (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing).

The standards that historians ideally use are clear, and Zinnophobia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/34-History?p=1814&viewfull=1#post1814) is a brilliant exercise in how badly historians and other scholars fared in their critiques of Howard’s masterpiece. To those never exposed to that kind of chicanery, it can be shocking to witness for the first time. As to what really happened in World War II, for instance, it is a subject that can easily consume lifetimes of study, and there is no shortage of controversies (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward). Howard participated in World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#justify2), and there is nothing like being there over reading about it, or performing archival research about it.

Wineburg made Howard’s writings on World War II the centerpiece of his critique of Howard’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page3?p=2024&viewfull=1#post2024). The charges that Wineburg made were that Howard abandoned the professional standards of historians when writing about World War II. Debate about historical truth is one thing, and is always open to interpretation, but what is not really open to much interpretation is whether Wineburg’s critique was valid. It is easy to get Howard’s work, Wineburg’s critique (https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/periodicals/Wineburg.pdf), and do a simple comparison. Wineburg charged Howard with “undue certainty,” claiming that Howard dispensed with the qualifying language that historians should use (such as “seems,” “maybe,” “perhaps”) and presented a very one-sided view of history. What the author of Zinnophobia did, among other things, was compare Wineburg’s charges against what Howard wrote. That was a simple exercise, and Zinnophobia’s author showed very clearly that Howard’s work was full of qualifying language and continually showed both sides of the story. How can a scholar, who teaches at Stanford, of all places, accuse Howard of doing things that anybody with his critique and Howard’s book in hand can easily see are false charges against Howard? The author of Zinnophobia does not come right out and say that Wineburg is a pathological liar, but the evidence richly supports that idea. Wineburg’s libel of Howard is then hoisted as a standard by Howard’s other assailants, as rock-solid proof of what a shabby scholar Howard was. It is reminiscent of how Noam was smeared over his writings on Cambodia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia).

I saw Mr. Skeptic do the same thing with Dennis, making up new lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#attack2006) when his old ones were exposed (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#article), without missing a beat, and easily duping leading voices (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1551&viewfull=1#post1551) in the free energy field. When a troll attacked me in a JFK forum, he literally used Mr. Skeptic’s libelous Skeptical Inquirer article (which comes up as the first (or sometimes second) link on Google when you enter “Dennis Lee free energy”) to lead his attack, and then the admin erased my thread the next day (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20494-bill-decker-and-john-tower/?do=findComment&comment=385252). With admins like that (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=639&viewfull=1#post639), the trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) don’t have to work very hard, similar to my experience in trying to correct Ed’s bio at Wikipedia (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page3?p=1368&viewfull=1#post1368).

For people who have never seen such behavior from scholars and scientists, it can be shocking to witness (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked). You know that those scientists and scholars are deliberately lying, and hoping to dupe the gullible, and they know that you know how dishonest they are, but they kind of give you a wink as they keep spouting their libelous attacks. When I had my day on the witness stand, I had my face rubbed in evil (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681), and I finally woke up. When that year had ended, human behavior could never surprise me again, as I had learned my journey’s primarily lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708).

I’ll likely never know whether Mr. Skeptic’s serial lies were simply performing his job (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#skeptic), like Bill the BPA Hit Man (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm) and Ken Hodgell (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) did, or whether it was due to some strange ego dysfunction. Maybe he really believed that Dennis was a crook, which somehow justified any and all lies to smear him. Maybe so, and if so, how ironic, to resort to criminal behavior to portray somebody else as a criminal, when, in fact, Dennis is the greatest human that I ever met or heard of, and is at the head of my pantheon (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures).

The fact that professional historians and others lied so badly about Howard’s work, either through inventing them, as Wineburg did, or parroting Wineburg’s lies, does not mean that the practice of historians is worthless. Howard exemplified the historian’s ideal, although it is rarely achieved, particularly in the mainstream (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms).

Similarly, I am all-too-aware of the limitations of mainstream science (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox). Becoming scientifically literate is no mean feat, but on my Avalon thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=91260&viewfull=1#post91260), for instance, you can see attacks on me for my scientific writings by people who are scientifically illiterate and proud of it (and Avalon is the nice forum :) ). It is pretty bizarre, IMO, to use the limitations of mainstream science as an excuse to purposely remain ignorant of its findings. That is not any kind of pursuit of the truth that I want to have anything to do with.

The fact that the most obtuse and strange reactions to the idea of free energy often come from scientists and the educated (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) does not mean that science is not a worthy pursuit. You play on the high road for long (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584), and you get educated pretty quickly, through the crucible of bitter experience (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2)), if you can survive for long, on why there is no alternative energy of significance on the market today (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why), and all of the scholarship and investigation pales to insignificance when compared to the knowledge that comes from experience.

Wade

Interesting article on air pollution and evolution Why Is Air Pollution So Harmful? DNA May Hold the Answer (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/13/science/air-pollution-fires-genes.html)

[Wade Frazier]

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1331358&viewfull=1#post1331358):

That will be one of the first things to vanish in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#combustion). Polluted air and water are the two biggest global killers of children today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#water). Yes, we can adapt to our toxins, but at great cost, which that article discussed.

Of course, the New York Times (Ed’s favorite (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#loot)! :) ) is not going to take on fluoridation, as there are too many powerful interests involved in turning it from an industrial waste into a tooth’s best friend (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory), or get into the truly scandalous past of tobacco, modern medicine (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#cigarettes), and the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#tobacco), or the insanity of radiation hormesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hormesis) (a little radiation is good for you! :) ), vaccination (a little disease is good for you (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#vaccination)!), etc. The worthlessness of bypass surgery is beginning to become better known (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation/page2?p=1949&viewfull=1#post1949), so there may be hope that the other worse-than-worthless interventions may be recognized for what they are one day.

Just in my lifetime, it is amazing to think of the air pollution that I was subjected to, and how it has changed. I grew up in a smoke-filled bowling alley, and even in the 1980s, I was overcome by the smoke in offices, and had a filter-blower in front of my face, to try to reduce the damage (which probably did little good, if any). The air in LA was horrific (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) in the 1980s, it likely caused long-term damage, and might be related to how I get altitude-sick today (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page10?p=1146&viewfull=1#post1146). Fortunately, I live where the air is relatively clean today.

Hi:

I am busy with the essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), and the evolutionary journey from monkeys to humans is getting a bit of a makeover, particularly on the cognitive and social front. In the stacks next to my desk, as I begin to tackle these subjects, are six of Frans de Waal’s books (and three of Richard Wrangham’s), all of which I read after the previous essay update in 2015. A few years back, I got his The Age of Empathy (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6525532-the-age-of-empathy), and he seemed to try to cash in on the financial crisis of 2007-2009 (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#subprime), and I have seen many times how poorly scientists fare when weighing in on current politics and economics. They could all stand a strong dose of Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv).

I put The Age of Empathy aside after De Waal rather naively suggested that empathy is in and greed is out, in the wake of the financial crisis. But I resumed reading The Age of Empathy lately and am happy that I did, and it is being incorporated into my essay update. In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), genuine empathy is going to be in short supply amongst humans. Bring a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) into being, and genuine societal change then becomes possible, as our social systems have always ridden atop our economic systems.

Hi:

I wrote last year (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1855&viewfull=1#post1855) on how I felt like Rip Van Winkle when I walked into a unisex bathroom in Seattle. It was not far removed from how I felt when I stumbled into a vegetarian controversy (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm) that I did not know still existed. I still regard that anti-vegetarian crusading as kind of surreal, but the current transsexual hysteria is off the scale. That the medical profession is enabling it is one more scandal, and this seems similar to the eugenics craze of a century ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics#Origin_and_development). Most so-called transsexuals these days seem to be mentally ill people who are getting their bodies mutilated (https://pjmedia.com/trending/illinois-becomes-20th-state-to-cover-transgender-surgery-under-medicaid/) as just one more lucrative and expanding market for the medical racket, as people are assaulted by all manner of chemical, pollutant (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1857&viewfull=1#post1857), and propaganda, to then get life-changing surgeries in their confusion, and the cash registers sing.

Until anesthesia (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#anesthesia) and sterile practices (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#halsted) were invented, surgery was considered the ultimate in barbarity. Once painless and sterile surgery became possible, surgery became a fad that is still with us. Surgery has the virtue of “doing something” and being lucrative. Doctors just love to cut, and the crazed “blank-slate” mentality of enabling mentally ill people to mutilate their bodies and remove themselves from the gene pool, in a Darwin-Award-like way (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Awards), will become another black mark on today’s medical profession.

I am not a fan of Steven Pinker, but what he gets right in his violence book is that violence has declined in relative numbers over the Epochs, although Pinker ignores the modern imperial manifestations of it, among other deficiencies (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#pinker). His The Blank Slate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blank_Slate) was not all that good, but it was good in pointing out the weird trend of denying biology and our human natures. Evolution is a reality. The recent controversy over J.K. Rowling’s tweet that sex is a biological reality (https://www.forbes.com/sites/dawnstaceyennis/2019/12/19/jk-rowling-comes-out-as-a-terf/#304526d65d70) might end up being the high-water mark of this trend. We can only hope.

In my home state, the controversy over a blond-haired, blue-eyed woman who “identified” as black (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal) a few years ago is quaint compared to what is happening today. I am waiting for when people will have plants grafted onto their bodies and demand to be called Ents (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ent). :) It is like a permanent Halloween around here.

The stories coming in from Seattle are bizarre. Just a few weeks ago, I hiked with an old friend who fled Seattle for the countryside, partly driven there by the insanity. He worked with tatted, pierced, and dyed transsexuals who violently reacted to the wrong pronoun being used and who took out their aggressions on anybody handy. Do we start calling people “it”?

I see this as a sign of the times, in our slow-motion collapse (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline), and it is really something to be in one of the epicenters of this issue. In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), these times will seem like a bad dream.

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1331755&viewfull=1#post1331755):

I somehow got on the emailing list of a Velikovskian magazine, and in most issues is an article on how culturally advanced Neanderthals were. Neanderthals are credited with the first significant stone tool advance in a million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mousterian). They were capable of speech, and even Homo erectus may well have had language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_erectus#Sociality).

That brings up the issue of what made behaviorally modern humans so successful. What did they have the Neanderthals, for instance, didn’t? The thinking today is along the lines of more invention, cultural memory, and the “ratchet effect” of retaining innovations and reaching new levels of sophistication (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_modernity#Late_Upper_Paleolithic_Model_or_%22Revolution%22). What is for sure is that nothing stood in way of behaviorally modern humans as they conquered Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit).

Neanderthals were likely a casualty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal), just like the megafauna was (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna).

Hi:

To yesterday’s post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page21?p=2032&viewfull=1#post2032) on the crazed transsexual hysteria happening today, I see it as just one of the many pitfalls encountered on the way to becoming a sentient species. As Orwell stated in 1984, the masses are to be kept in a condition of “controlled insanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell).” It is easy to see the prescience of Orwell’s work. Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) were Orwell’s successors in ways, showing how genocide is covered up (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#timor) and even cheered along (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#bloodbaths) in the media and by historians (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), how an industrial waste got rebranded (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory) as compulsory “medicine,” and on and on. Waking up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) to it all is no easy feat, and unless people are very grounded, they can easily go off the deep end, well before they begin considering such Epochal fare as free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I consider the vast majority of today’s so-called transsexuals as casualties, with their mutilated and hormone-filled bodies, as they try to ape the other gender.

Now, to go take my shower in fluoridated water. :)

...the current transsexual hysteria is off the scale. That the medical profession is enabling it is one more scandal, and this seems similar to the eugenics craze of a century ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics#Origin_and_development).

Hi Wade.

I know you're well aware that comments like this :

“Most so-called transsexuals these days seem to be mentally ill people who are getting their bodies mutilated”

would get you slung out of the saloon (or office, or college) in the politically correct part of town.

But I want to address the topic in a little bit of depth, in the broader terms of how it relates to this thread.

As someone who's fairly familiar with your work and your perspective, my understanding is you are using the term 'mentally ill' in a technical, not derogatory way. But with the climate the way it is now politically and in the media, people who say far less are attacked within moments on more popular (no offence to Avalon) social media outlets.

I don't know if I could say 'most' transexuals as I haven't met most of them. I might have even met some and not even known it. But certainly some that I've seen in the media do appear to be unbalanced.

What a massive subject. I could write an essay on it, with a slew of links, which I don't have time for. Having read numerous articles on the transgender issue, and watched hours of interviews and documentary pieces on the topic, I can't even imagine how hard it is for someone experiencing gender issues – feeling like they are trapped in a body with a biological sex that doesn't fit their psyche.

The problem I have with the transgender issue is the way there may be a much broader agenda around it being pushed, likely for profit as you mentioned (which financially is potentially huge), perhaps also for control (confused people are more malleable), and the minority of people with genuinely deep transgender issues are possibly being used indirectly by this agenda, and even sidelined, in the process. :

On the profits :

'Drugs used as puberty blockers in youth linked to thousands of adult deaths, FDA shows'
https://www.christianpost.com/news/drugs-used-as-puberty-blockers-in-youth-linked-to-thousands-of-adult-deaths-fda-shows.html

Two quotes from the above link :

“Lupron is being prescribed off-label for use in children who have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria despite the lack of formal FDA approval for that purpose.”

“According to the annual report of AbbVie, the company that produces Lupron, sales of the drug were approximately $669 million in 2017 in the United States alone.”

In my many hours of research I've come across a number of stories of people who, later in life, regretted transitioning to a gender they were not born with, as the pjmedia article you linked to painfully illustrates.  That piece of journalism is not the only one of its kind. That obviously does not mean anyone who transitions will regret it. Some may feel it's the best decision they ever made. Their body – their choice.

But how much of an educated choice are they being given, if the options to address their predicament are limited and biased towards one outcome by the medical professionals involved? That's the bigger question for me, especially in how it affects children.

Amongst articles about the questionable safety of puberty-blocking drugs being administered to children, I came across this :

'Transgender treatment: Puberty blockers study under investigation'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-49036145

Two quotes from the above link :

“In an open letter last week, former Gids clinician Dr Kirsty Entwistle raised concerns over the way puberty blockers were being presented to children as "fully reversible", when their long-term impact was unknown. She also said staff were unable to raise concerns without risking being branded transphobic.”

Tavistock and Portman Trust chief executive Paul Jenkins :
“said Gids was looking at processes to make it easier for clinicians to focus on their work, "rather than being swayed or influenced by the very heated debate", but concerns over staff being falsely accused of transphobia had not been raised in the organisation.
However, a former Gids member of staff told Newsnight: "Myself and countless colleagues raised concerns in all the forums available to us."”

This line says a great deal :

“staff were unable to raise concerns without risking being branded transphobic.”

I can't help but think that part of the broader agenda in play is to limit what people feel they are able to say. In other words, freedom of speech.

As I've raised here before, freedom of speech is inextricably linked with freedom of thought. If people within a room, or a society at large, feel they are not allowed to say certain things for a prolonged period, it is only a matter of time before many will take the decision to avoid even thinking those things, for the sake of survival or an easier life. And how much worse is that going to get (?) if we have a public roll-out of thought-reading technologies, the likes of which powerful entities such as facebook have already admitted are under development, as facebook's Regina Dugan, former director of the government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), has already outlined :

https://www.theverge.com/2017/4/20/15375176/facebook-regina-dugan-interview-building-8-mind-reading-f8-2017

Linked below is an article about Professor of Psychology and clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson's criticism of a Canadian Bill, that legislated to protect the rights around gender identity:

https://torontoist.com/2016/12/are-jordan-petersons-claims-about-bill-c-16-correct/

The writer describes Peterson's fear that 'not using someone’s preferred pronouns could be considered discrimination under the new human rights legislation...' and that Peterson feared he could be prosecuted for hate speech. From the article :

“If Peterson was found to be in violation of the code, there are different possible remedies. He could be ordered to pay money, he could be ordered to correct the behaviour, he could be ordered to go to training, etc.”

So, possibly no jail time for the wrong speech, just fines and re-education (and who gets to decide what that 're-education' necessarily entails?) But equally, who knows what level of negative judgement and discrimination would be deemed appropriate towards you within your work or social community, or on the internet, if you are found guilty?

You also have the added problem of those who, in a desire to feel free under such pressure, convince themselves that it's automatically virtuous to come swiftly or unquestioningly to the defence of any minority, or oppressed person, simply because a member of that minority / group has become offended or declared a slight against them. Critical, deep, analytical thinking (or even just basic commons sense) can become a casualty all too easily, in that kind of climate.

You can find the same problem with people crying “Racist” on occasions where it is not warranted, which can also make it harder to address and cure the problem of genuine racism, a problem that is still, tragically (and sometimes violently), very real.

Setting aside what is in my opinion the small minority of people with deep-rooted causes of gender confusion (who I sincerely, as I know you do, wish a safe and fulfilling life for), identity politics can be used to manipulate, sending far larger numbers of people down a road of self-interest and rebellion, creating layers of discord within the individual, and their surroundings - hand in hand with undermining freedom of speech, and eventually freedom of thought; whilst those too fearful to see through it can nestle behind the protections of political correctness, ignoring that it may not have their best interest at heart. 

So while some are running deeper into a maze of their own personal identity, others are caught in a trap of fearing to move lest they be deemed intolerant.  And if some are running in circles chasing their own tails, whilst others are paralysed, it reduces the numbers prepared to speak up or stand up for the common good.  To address economic insanity / environmental crisis.  Then many of those who do stand seem to think it’s enough to just talk loudly and righteously about how terrible the bad guys are, without investigating the topic of truly ground-breaking solutions.  You see plenty of that in the environmental crisis movements.  Lots of people protesting governments, demanding they 'do something' – but nobody (at least that I've seen) in mainstream media, or the protests they broadcast, mentioning suppressed patents or sequestered energy technology.

Some might argue that it is none of anyone's business what an individual transgender person does, and that the person is not hurting anyone by their choices. But this is where the waters get a little muddy for me. Because if transgender activists, and their supporters, refuse to allow healthy debate around the subject because they deem the exploration inherently offensive, then they contribute to creating a culture that may limit the options available to young people seeking to make an informed decision. That is already evidenced by members of staff providing transgender services, who feel (as mentioned earlier) fearful of presenting alternatives to transitioning lest they be deemed 'transphobic.'

If society is going to ask 'What right do people have to question transgender treatment?' then it should also be asking 'What right do certain transgender groups have to attempt to limit debate that may affect the mental and physical health of future generations?' And also 'What about the rights of children who may be uncomfortable sharing changing rooms / toilets with members of the opposite biological sex, for reasons they may be too young to fully articulate or express?'

I was reiterating to someone the other day (I still bring up free energy in small doses to those in my long-standing social circle) that aside from healing the environment we depend on, a crucial reason why the energy debate is so important is because it connects with our psyche and development at a very deep level. Most of us in the Western, 'developed' world are contributing to environmental destruction with our methods of transport, manufacture, consumerism and general waste (which likely includes a huge amount of medical waste.) It is written into our way of life, at work, at home, and elsewhere. With that comes guilt, either consciously or otherwise. And prolonged guilt I would argue - though I'm not a psychologist - can foster denial, blockages, and stunted growth at an individual / societal level. My guess is that a lot of people don't recognise it, partly because it can be too painful to work through, but also because they do not have the time or energy to explore what our true potential really is, so they don't even know what they're missing out on. In their conscious mind, a free energy culture and even psychic phenomena, and what you (Wade) might call a level 19 culture, are only ideas hinted at in Hollywood movies, or Sci-Fi literature.

We can't get out of that guilt trap, and that prison, without critical thinking and imagination (which requires a culture of free speech.) To see the bigger picture, we can't afford to be distracted by investing endlessly in the realm of personal identity. My point relates to something I heard a Native American elder say in interview. That you hear so many people nowadays talking about their rights. But what about their responsibilities?

I'm as guilty as anyone, of being part of the problem, the polluter that I am. But clean energy gets to the heart of it all. Spiritually and technologically. It requires focusing on putting health before profit. Collaboration before competition. Applying common sense rather than blindly defending a corrupt and corrupting economic model that enslaves most people (to drugs, pollutants, and jobs that don't maximise their potential as ensouled beings.) It requires truly getting to the root of what can heal the system of living that we share.

Thanks Melinda (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1331803&viewfull=1#post1331803):

Big subject. Yes, my views would be highly politically incorrect, especially in Seattle. :) Yes, I meant mentally ill, not in the “lock them up” way, but mentally ill as in “not well.” Anybody who has elective surgeries to mutilate their bodies is not well, including cosmetic surgeries (unless they are something like Elephant Man). I hear so many transgender stories these days, from people who interact with them. They are not well people, and the medical system, as you note, is catering to it, in a very “cash-register” way. Feeling that one is born into the wrong body can’t be fun, but they are all the bodies we chose. Learning to live in our skin is one of the greatest lessons of being physically incarnated. We are free to mutilate our bodies, as we are also free to commit suicide. From the soul’s perspective, it is all part of the journey, and every decision is an opportunity to learn for the personality, and the soul learns from each decision that we make, and it all centers around choosing love or fear.

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), cosmetic surgeries won’t exist, neither will drug-induced stupors, etc. Today’s drugs and surgeries craze I lay right at the feet of the medical establishment, and we all enable it (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#system), to one degree or another. But we can all help change it, too. The transsexual hysteria these days is joined at the hip with the medical racket and what I see called “identity politics.” It is all very egocentric. That San Francisco and Seattle are all up in arms over sexual identity, while hordes of homeless make piles of feces on the sidewalks, is frankly bizarre, and throw humanity’s richest people into the mix, and it is all kind of surreal. Maybe there is a larger point being made here, in an attempt to wake us up. All I can say is that being in the middle of it is very strange, especially when I know that the keys to the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) are so close to being in our reach.

I just had an exchange with an EPA scientist on how phony the so-called environmental movement is (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2). I’ll write more later.

Best,

Hi:

To my latest politically incorrect posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page21?p=2032&viewfull=1#post2032), IMO, this needs to be seen as being in the same boat as bypass surgeries, but in the highly charged area of sexuality. All of the studies of bypass surgery (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation/page2?p=1949&viewfull=1#post1949) show that it is a worthless procedure, but lucrative for the medical racket. In Heart Frauds, the MD author described the “sales technique” that doctors use to sell bypass surgery. There the patient is, in agony, on the table, and the doctors tell him that bypass is the only way out. Sold! :)

The Industrial Revolution changed social relations like no other event in the human journey. The change from hunter-gatherer to farmer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran) to civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer) was equally dramatic in ways, but took millennia to play out. The Industrial Revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) is only a few centuries old, and has only been coming to many nations in the past few generations. Long-standing social roles have vanished, such as slavery (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend). The Industrial Revolution’s demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) has dramatically changed societies that went through it, and gender roles have often changed radically. My wife has a doctorate, as does her sister. A century ago, that was unheard of.

I have gone into length in my work on all of the insults to human biology from modern medicine. Cancer treatment is a racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket). The only legal treatments attack the tumor, while all of the nonviolent treatments are outlawed (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#suppress). It is about as Orwellian as it gets. An industrial waste got rebranded as compulsory medicine (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory), the USA’s leading medical journal ran cigarette ads making health claims for a generation (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#cigarettes), even selling asbestos cigarette filters (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lorillard), of all things, and on and on (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184). Capitalism and medicine make very poor bedfellows.

We are barraged with propaganda (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) of many kinds, all manner of chemical insult, in a declining industrial civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline) as our energy supply runs out, and people are confused, asleep, simply don’t care (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and so on (or find juicy dark path (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) opportunities :) ). Putting my own journey aside (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing), I have encountered story after story of young idealists getting into the “system,” whether it was the Peace Corps (http://ahealedplanet.net/racket.htm#peace), missionaries (http://ahealedplanet.net/racket.htm#teresa), environmental groups (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists), charities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy), corporate America, and even the CIA (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#synopsis), and other agencies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1), as their initial zeal was exploited. In one way or another, all became disillusioned, as they slowly figured out the real game being played: exploitation and survival. Some became zombies (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#stockwell), shuffling through the halls, drinking themselves into a stupor each night, counting their days to retirement. The list of idealistic casualties is a long one, and those are the people who wanted to make a dent.

So, in the midst of all of that, all sorts of people are confused, about many things, even regarding something as basic as our sexuality. It is pretty normal for children to be fascinated by the other gender and ape them, and homosexuality and bisexuality are normal variations, but as Melinda noted (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1331803&viewfull=1#post1331803), the medical gang is catering to sex changes for children. In my nation, a child cannot legally drink, but they can go get mutilated and get filled with hormones to ape the other gender, in a process that can’t be reversed. It is beyond insane. All of what I am describing above will vanish in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and nobody is going to miss it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I am crazily busy these days, am plunking along on the essay update, but can make a post or two this weekend. I have never intentionally littered in my life, and have spent a lot of time cleaning up trash and other people’s messes. I had an environmental awareness from a very young age. The air pollution in LA in the 1970s was truly awesome (not far removed from Beijing’s today), and I’ll never forget a trip to the natural history museum in LA when I was 14 or so. As soon as we entered the Valley (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conejo_Grade), I got a tremendous headache, which lasted all day, until we left the Valley on the way home. My environmental awareness only increased as I grew up, and one of the virtues of Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) was that it would not produce carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulates, and other pollutants from internal combustion engines. It would basically only produce carbon dioxide and water (although the sulfur in gasoline would still be an issue).

I got the full treatment of LA’s air pollution in my years (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) before meeting Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), and got away into the mountains (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm) whenever I could (and lived to tell about it (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#bishop) :) ). My life’s best hiking year was the year that I met Dennis, when my cousin and I hiked and scrambled all over the Cascade Range. The contrast of the pristine wilderness and LA was about as dramatic as it gets, and when Dennis got his free energy idea the day after I arrived in Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=613&viewfull=1#post613), the possibilities did not take long to grab my imagination. A world without air pollution was not a bad idea. :) When I brought in Mr. Mentor to assess what we were doing, and he proposed marrying his engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry) with Dennis’s panels (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#arrays) to make free energy, the rocket ship began taking off, and we were taken out soon thereafter (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr).

In Boston, we had unwittingly landed in the midst of a huge energy controversy, I encountered my first Astroturf organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#coalition), we soon interacted with the local protest group (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#protest) against the nuclear reactor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#seabrook), and we soon had a show (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum) near the reactor’s front gates. Dennis soon got the red carpet treatment (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carpet) from the most powerful electric executive in New England (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page3?p=248&viewfull=1#post248), I met my first billionaire, and those were quite the days, which challenged my ego for a while (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=621&viewfull=1#post621). My learning curve began steepening in Boston, and one of my many sobering moments was realizing how phony that protest group was. Its primary sponsor wanted to block the nuclear power plant so that he could make a killing with a hydroelectric solution. The protest group’s president admitted it to Dennis one day.

That was my first inkling that so-called environmental groups might not have had the agendas that they publicly professed. Since those halcyonic days, that early suspicion was driven home in spades. I don’t know of an environmental group (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists) on Earth that does not treat free energy like the enemy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers/page2?p=438&viewfull=1#post438). It is surreal. How much of that is that they are phony to begin with, and how much is their addiction to their scarcity-based frameworks (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), is open for argument. If you read Battling Wall Street (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1444&viewfull=1#post1444), you will see not only that David Rockefeller (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) was JFK’s public policy adversary, but that Laurence Rockefeller was the father of the modern environmentalist movement, which was an elite-based idea of a pristine wilderness untrammeled by man, but which treated indigenous peoples as kind of an obstacle to the elite environmental vision.

So, the entire environmentalist movement got off on the wrong foot from the beginning, and that a scion of history’s greatest energy mogul (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1) directed it is one of the many “Isn’t that interesting?” moments of my journey. That Laurence was Greer’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) mentor is also “interesting.” I don’t know quite what to make of that, but what has become very clear over the years since my baptism with environmental groups is that they are all phony, in that saving the environment is down their list of priorities a ways, especially when they treat the greatest potential healer of the environment as the enemy, to be denied (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level2), disdained, and feared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5).

Brian’s encounters with Lester Brown (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130) and Amory Lovins (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) were typical of how so-called “environmentalists” and “visionaries” react to the idea of free energy. In recent days, I heard from a pal who approached one of the leading environmental names, whom my pal tried to introduce to my work, to have that name quickly dismiss it and move on. My pal was stunned, in kind of a daze afterward, and wondered if that name had been compromised in some covert way. While it could be the case, I doubt it. In my experience, that big name is just addicted to scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), which I have seen ad naseum by now, even by people who say that they are interested in free energy. In my experience, they are all hypocrites, in one way or another (it is just another variation 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)), and some may indeed be on some kind of covert assignment or have been compromised by covert interests (like how many ET/UFO “insiders” have been, or were phony to begin with). But most are simply addicted to scarcity, and their so-called “solutions” are just variations of austerity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity), the kind that Uncle Bucky said would never work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity).

This is just one of the innumerable ways that well-intended people can wake up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) to the reality of our world, as they see the yawning gap between rhetoric and reality, especially amongst those who say that they seek solutions to our grim predicament (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), when they really don’t. Amazingly, the people who say that they seek solutions are often the greatest barriers to pursuing them, and the sooner that free energy newbies give up the idea of proselytizing to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) and banging on the doors of the world’s institutions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1), the better. We will have to roll our own (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

I also recently realized how hard it is for people to understand what the implications for free energy really are on the pollution and environmental destruction front. I thought that I made it very clear in my sketch of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), but I think that I need to spell it out more clearly. I was kind of surprised by that, but my next post will sketch out the details a little more and why free energy means the end of all pollution and all environmental destruction, and really easily and almost overnight. It should be pretty easy to understand, and my essay update will make it even more explicit, as even well-meaning and highly intelligent people, who have been in my camp for many years, still have a difficult time understanding it. A new Epoch is not easy to imagine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I don’t know if it has changed much in the past generation or so, but 30 years ago, if you were in the energy business, trying to sell alternative energy technology to the consumer, the alternative technology had to be cheaper than the traditional technology, or the customer would not buy it. If the alternative technology was any more expensive than the traditional technology, there was not going to be a sale.

That is why the Carter energy tax credit (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall) existed. Dennis not only sold the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), it also qualified for Carter’s tax credit, and that is what made Dennis’s program (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs) so amazing, as brilliant and benevolent as I ever saw or heard of. When I heard of the struggles of companies trying to sell alternative energy technology long ago, what Dennis had going was beyond their wildest dreams. Among the many Big Lies told about Dennis, from many corners (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/94-My-last-posts-in-another-forum?p=639&viewfull=1#post639)), one of the more amazing is how they shamelessly lied about his days in Seattle, as he put the world’s best heating system on people’s homes for free, and that was somehow portrayed as fraudulent. Living through the Big Lies, broadcast by the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) nearly since the day that I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), prepared me for Noam and Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), and if the world’s leading intellectual can be smeared to this day (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia), how hard is it to smear a fast-talking promoter (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum) like Dennis?

That issue of economics and alternatives is well-known. A person would be willing to buy the more environmentally friendly option, if it did not cost any more than the traditional option. Most people are willing to do the right thing, if it does not cost them anything to do it. I have written before on Morris’s book on changing human morality (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1786&viewfull=1#post1786), so don’t need to cover it much again, but the key takeaway, for me, is that as humanity’s energy surplus increased over the Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), people could afford to be more humane, act with greater integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and the like.

In the late Second Epoch, after the easy meat was gone (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer) and humans became intensely territorial again, slaughtering one’s neighbors on sight was “normal.” In the Third Epoch, particularly with the rise of civilization, enslaving people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning) was “normal.” It was not until the rise of machines in the Industrial Revolution made brute human labor uneconomical that humanity grew the conscience that today sees slavery as evil.

I went vegan in 1978 (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm#vegan), just to see what it was like. I did not do it out of regard for the animals that were sacrificed for my meals, and when I went back to being a vegetarian, beginning in 1986, after I left my worthless profession (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting), it was also not done with the animals in mind so much. When John Robbins published his magnum opus in 1987 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_for_a_New_America), vegetarians were considered to be on the lunatic fringe. I never thought that I would live to see the current frenzy around vegetarian food, such as what has happened around Beyond Meat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_Meat). IMO, Beyond Meat, for instance, does not really cater to vegetarians. For what I’ll call real vegetarians, they don’t want to eat plant-based foods that look and taste like meat. If you really go vegetarian, the idea of meat becomes viscerally revolting. I passed that point of no return more than 30 years ago. There is no willpower to my vegetarian ways. The idea of eating meat is disgusting to me.

But, I think that today’s Beyond Meat “vegetarians” are making similar decisions to those buyers of alternative energy technology. If it looks and tastes like meat, but is not killing an animal to produce it, and is also less harmful to the environment and gets people the protein they need, then people are willing to eat it, even if it is a little more expensive than meat (but not for long (https://vegnews.com/2019/7/plant-based-meat-is-about-to-get-cheaper-than-animal-flesh-report-says)).

When I first read Uncle Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), I read for the first time that mining was essentially an energy issue. Rich ores were energetically easier to mine, and as energy became cheaper, poorer ores became economically feasible to mine. In Ian Morris’s measure of social development (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1784&viewfull=1#post1784), he put food and raw materials in the “energy capture” factor of human development. He rightly understood that procuring food and raw materials are primarily energy issues.

Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) has mentioned it in his public talks, and I have also encountered it over the years, in that all pollution is basically an energy issue. It is obvious that with free energy, nearly all air pollution would immediately cease (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), but so would all other forms of pollution. If you discuss the pollution issue with industrial scientists, and not just air, but water pollution, toxic waste, and the like, the reason for all of them is energy scarcity. If energy was not a constraint, all industrial processes could easily be made so that they produce no environmental pollution, not to the air, water, or land. Municipal sewage systems could produce distilled water as their end-product, and take the solid waste and turn it back into sterile fertilizer, etc. With free energy, that is all easily done, and it all begins to resemble Star Trek’s replicators (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#trek). So, if it costs people essentially nothing to not pollute, then they won’t do it, because they can afford it.

Mining produces all manner of environmental devastation, whether it is mining coal, oil, water, metal, and other elements. With free energy, mining coal, oil, and water would immediately cease.

With the technologies that my friend was shown (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), it would be child’s play to mine the 16 Psyche (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_Psyche#Characteristics) asteroid, which is almost pure metal. That one asteroid alone would provide all of humanity’s metal needs for the next several million years, at minimum.

With free energy, it not only becomes feasible to create an environmentally harmless civilization, it would cost virtually nothing to do so. It would cost humanity nothing to jump onto that bandwagon, and like how slavery is seen as evil by today’s industrial societies, in the Fifth Epoch, any kind of environmental harm would be seen as senseless. Any harm to any animal would soon be seen that way, and even harm to plants (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#forest2) would come onto the radar. There would no longer be any economic rationale for cities as we know them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) and poverty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive) for anybody would become unthinkable, and so on. There will be no hydroelectric dams, roads, mines, oil wells, etc. Until the Fifth Epoch arrives, those ideas are all pretty much unthinkable (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#summary) for people today, just as the changes of each Epoch were unimaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) to the people who lived before the changes, as they are not feasible without free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), and just as slavery was normal in the Third Epoch but evil in the Fourth, what is unimaginable about the Fifth Epoch today to the vast majority of humanity today will quickly become their daily reality. Only then will they begin to understand what “crazy” people like me wrote about in the late-Fourth Epoch.

I have a much higher opinion of humanity than the doomsayers who openly fear free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) and argue that with free energy, humanity would just have bigger wars and quickly strip-mine Earth. Not only do such people hold a dim view of humanity, history has shown that it is not even accurate and actively ignores that people will become more humane and act more harmlessly if they can afford to.

Free energy will mean the end of capitalism and the profit motive (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit), and money will become meaningless (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange). Greed will no longer be a virtue (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed). :) We can already see hints of this (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#utopia) with the Free Software Movement (http://ahealedplanet.net/freesoft.htm), for instance. Today, the average American lives a far richer life than Earth’s richest human of three centuries ago. Today’s Bill Gates will appear to be a pauper to the average person in the Fifth Epoch, and Fifth Epoch peoples will scarcely believe how primitively Fourth Epoch peoples lived. This kind of world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) will begin to come into view in the Fifth Epoch, and the technology to make it happen is already on the planet. All of the crazy denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), fear, and other dysfunctional reactions (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc/page2?p=2038&viewfull=1#post2038) to the idea of free energy and the Fifth Epoch have been something to behold, but when the Fifth Epoch finally arrives, those reactions will all be good for a laugh, similar to how we can laugh and cringe at ads from the past century (1 (https://roundpeg.biz/2017/03/advertising-1950s/), 2 (https://www.businessinsider.com/vintage-sexist-and-racist-ads-2011-6)). I was raised in a racist and bigoted household (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism), as were many (maybe even most) of my generation, and such attitudes are hard-to-believe today.

When the Fifth Epoch arrives, nobody is going to miss today’s world, and it will all seem like a bad dream.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Briefly, before I begin a very busy week, I finished De Waal’s The Age of Empathy (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6525532-the-age-of-empathy) recently, and I saw an observation in it that I had not seen before.

The West’s Judeo-Christian-Islamic religions hatched in a part of the world without primates other than people. So, there was nothing that looked like people, and those religions, as well as their philosophical and scientific intellectual descendants, invented ideologies that made humans separate and even superior to nature, beginning with Adam and Eve.

In the world’s rainforests and in eastern and southern Asia, monkeys and apes abounded, so that the people of those regions realized how closely related they were to nature, and no religions or philosophies came from there that exalted humans like they have in the West. Only where people did not have constant reminders of our heritage did they concoct religions and philosophies that separated humans from nature. Very interesting.

Of course, the Native Americans of North America did not have primates, either (and neither did the Australian aborigines), but they did not develop such self-worshipping ideologies.

The gist of The Age of Empathy is the deep evolutionary roots of many human traits, such as empathy. The differences between humans and our monkey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#monkeysplit) and ape (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proconsul) cousins are those of degree, not kind. If the intermediary species between chimps and humans were not all extinct, the gradual evolutionary development of the human line (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain) would be even more apparent. Humans are different, but not so much as Westerners often pretend.

Thanks Krishna (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1332465&viewfull=1#post1332465):

Just as Wikipedia is my favorite source (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), the New York Times (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#loot) is Krishna’s. Ed would be so proud of us. :) I’ll be damned if I’ll ever subscribe to the MSM, even with “free” accounts, so I can’t read most of the NYT’s articles. So, here are some truly free ones (1 (https://www.space.com/earth-oldest-impact-crater-snowball-earth.html), 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarrabubba_crater)) on the topic. Interesting stuff. If that asteroid really ended that ice age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huronian), I will be surprised. Water does not last long in the atmosphere. I’ll cover that ice age a little more (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/19-Chapter-12-Making-Coal-the-Rise-of-Reptiles-and-the-Greatest-Extinction-Ever?p=1298&viewfull=1#post1298) in the essay update.

Hi:

I have long stated that the people I seek are needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). I have told my story (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm), and those of my fellow travelers, at length. I have written vignettes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach) of key players and events, and a long string of posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574) on my lessons learned during my journey, but the integrity issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) towered above all else. I am going to do something that I have not done before and categorize the various players, with a few comments on each. I believe that what I discovered can be generalized to any kind of free energy effort or other efforts to make a dent. I think that the playing field might become clearer to some after this exercise.

There has never been a free energy effort that played as far along the curve as Dennis did with his heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#lamco2), bringing the technology to market, and it became a free energy effort when I chased Dennis to Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing). After Dennis got out of prison, which he should not have survived (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), he began barnstorming the USA, going after free energy once more, and I had a second brief stint with him (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting). In 2006, Dennis went after high-MPG carburetors, and attracted not only the White House’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife) attention once more (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#yull), but David Rockefeller’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888), and Dennis was soon banned from the energy business in the USA via the Kangaroo Court tactics (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc) that I know so well. I do not know of another story remotely close to that, and it provides a vast number of data points for me to hang my awareness on. I kept going in my own way, eventually carried Brian’s spears, and have been doing my own thing for many years, arguably the past 30 years, as I hit the books (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) and began writing. This list will be of people that I encountered, either directly or second-hand through people such as Dennis and Brian.


Here goes…


Those with the right stuff in our energy efforts.

That list is topped by Dennis, Mr. Professor, and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures). Dennis’s assistant, who kind of replaced me as Dennis’s sidekick (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page2?p=226&viewfull=1#post226), also has the right stuff, and Alison (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=211&viewfull=1#post211) was always Dennis’s most important assistant; Dennis would not be alive today without her.

Fellow travelers whose efforts I respected, not necessarily in the free energy field, but they could often be in a related effort.

Mark (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), a lot of what Greer has done, with my highest respect for his Disclosure Project (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer), Michael Hyson’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/79-Introducing-Michael-Hyson?p=168&viewfull=1#post168) work and that of his colleague Elizabeth Rauscher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Rauscher). Jeane Manning (http://changingpower.net/) has done good work, and Joel Garbon (https://globalbem.com/tag/joel-garbon/) did his best. Those inventors and others (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak) who came to untimely ends (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). Uncle Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) and Alden Bryant (https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Alden_Bryant) were the real deals.

Those with the right stuff in other fields.

Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), Uncles Ed, Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), and Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), Rodney Stich (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1427&viewfull=1#post1427), Jim G. (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm), those crucified doctors and scientists (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#suppress) who pursued alternative medicine, and a smattering of others, some of whom will be anonymous in my work. My pantheon is not a large one.

Those who acquitted themselves honorably on our journey.

Everybody mentioned above met that criterion, but there were others. Dennis always oriented his efforts around businesses, so many employees, dealers, and entrepreneurs were involved. Dennis said that Mr. Professor (and his widow) and I were the only people to walk away with their integrity intact, but I think that he meant those who got in deeply. I saw others who, to me, also acquitted themselves honorably. Dennis might have more to say about them. I recently mentioned that I contacted them, which amounted to less than ten people, and none of them wanted to interact with me. To them, their involvement was in a business that failed. They did not see the bigger picture of what they were involved with, and they did not really want to see it. Their awareness was limited to the painful experience of a failed business, and it will largely remain there, unless they live to see the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) arrive.

I would say that most of Dennis’s dealers in Ventura quietly faded away after Dennis was arrested (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail) and 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) made his play, with Mr. Stooge (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=207&viewfull=1#post207) helping out. They knew that we did our best, but the odds were too great against us. After campaigning to our dealers for several months, the best that Mr. Deputy could assemble was quite a motley crew (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#victims), and only one of them acted like a victim.

Dennis always tried to make those participants whole, and still dreams of it. That pool of people only grew with his efforts in the 1990s and the first decade of the 2000s.

Those who acquitted themselves kind of honorably on our journey – at least they did not try to hurt us.

When Dennis was arrested in Ventura, and the employees stole anything that they could (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#steal) on the way out the door, only one really stood with us, but some others slinked away and came back into the picture once Dennis escape jail, such as his assistant (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy). They were not heroic, but they also did not join the lynch mob. They get points for that.

Bystanders who did not pile on.

Dennis’s customers in Seattle largely fell in that category. Dennis put the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on their homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs). They did not exactly have much skin in the game. However, to my knowledge, none of them ever signed on with efforts to wipe us out, including the Attorney General’s effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam).


Those people listed above can generally look at themselves squarely in the mirror without flinching, particularly regarding their efforts with us. One might think that they would be enough to mount a free energy effort. Well, they weren’t. Part of the problem is that those efforts were scattered over many years and several distinct efforts. If they were all brought together in the same time and place, focused on the task at hand, maybe it would have gone somewhere, but the odds were still long. The opposition was too great, our allies were too unreliable, and the public’s inertia was too intractable for what we attempted. With few exceptions (such as Bill Ryan and company), I have exhausted the list of the virtuous with this post. The next post will list those who attacked and often harmed the efforts, and they did it in many ways. I wanted to start this list on a positive note. :) I’ll end it on one, too, but any effort that is going to make a dent has to be very aware of the list that comes next. It won’t be pretty.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As a preamble to the coming posts, my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042) mentioned the customers in Seattle and Ventura. In a demonstration of the complete and utter fraudulence of the attacks by the government, in both Seattle and Ventura, the people supposedly being protected by the attacks on Dennis’s companies were the customers.

In Seattle, the Attorney General actually took Dennis’s customers hostage (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#hostage), to force him to capitulate. They called all of the customers that they could (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#calls), trying to get them to attack Dennis’s company. Dennis was putting the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on their homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs). Why on Earth would they attack Dennis? None did. When Bill the BPA Hit Man manipulated Dennis’s employee into committing suicide (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), it was over getting our customer list. Betsy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy) gleefully got Dennis on this: one person in the state of Washington (and not a customer) misunderstood one thing that Dennis said (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#ag). That is what they “got” Dennis on.

In Ventura, after they ransacked our offices (and committed theft and espionage (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#espionage) in the process), the sheriff’s deputies, and even the sheriff himself, called all of our customers (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#fishing) (kit buyers and dealers), campaigning for several months to get them to help prosecute us. Most of our customers told them where they could stick their “investigation,” and the deputies then threatened those customers, accusing them of being accessories to our “crime.” They eventually dragged nine people into court, for the sorriest set of “victims (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#victims)” that one could imagine, from our hundreds of customers.

Those Seattle customers taken hostage and those threatened customers in Ventura were the official reason for the attacks on Dennis’s company, to protect those customers. I suppose that it is similar to the statement, “We had to destroy the town to save it (http://www.thisdayinquotes.com/2010/02/it-became-necessary-to-destroy-town-to.html).” What those officials did went so far past hypocrisy (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#chutzpah) that their actions were criminal. How those attacks have been portrayed ever since will help expose those who argue that what happened in Seattle and Ventura were righteous deeds by those officials, to protect the public. Protecting the public is the greatest protection racket on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#ama). Only the naïve think any differently.

With that preamble out of the way, on to discussing those without the right stuff. I’ll try to rank it, similar to those who acted honorably, to those who acted dishonorably, and I’ll finish with those in ignorance and indifference.


The Global Controllers (“GCs”)

The GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are definitely the most vigilant and active group in preventing public awareness and use of free energy and related technologies. But the GCs themselves are a complex entity, with competing and dissident factions, one of which is likely who gave my friend an underground exotic technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). However, they are at the top of the global food chain, and American presidents (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents) are way down there (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), expendable stooges at best. They were definitely involved with us, and Dennis came onto their radar in Seattle, and maybe earlier, during his baptism by fire on the East Coast (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=578&viewfull=1#post578). They were behind our friendly buyout offer in Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), and the offer a hundred times larger in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), the next year, delivered by the CIA. We also heard from the so-called White Hats (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#white) in those days, which was likely a dissident GC faction.

When I heard Greer state (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mormon) that the Mormon financial empire was the most dominant member of the GCs, that made perfect sense to me, as our Seattle and Ventura companies were stolen by Mormon-led operations.

The crazier members of the GCs want to terraform Mars (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars) in case their games make Earth uninhabitable. Their megalomania knows no bounds. The GCs are real, they are vigilant, and if Godzilla comes to dinner, you are the dinner. But relatively few free energy inventors and activists have anything to fear from the GCs. Their most dangerous adversaries are their own egos, their allies, and the more local interests. The GCs don’t get involved until an effort gets pretty far down the path (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic). Very few efforts ever become an active threat that needs GC intervention. The vast majority of efforts either never gets off the ground, self-destructs through greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greed) and other foibles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), or the more local interests take them out (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), gratis, as they all play the same game of power and control.

The GCs are a big subject, but they really aren’t all that important in the big scheme of things. They are parasites of the body politic of humanity, and the other enemies of free energy are a lot more interesting than the GCs, and encountering them was how I did most of my learning, not getting stepped on by the GCs. The enemy is us (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#attacks), and you could not have convinced me of it before I met Dennis.

Hi:

Other Oligarchic Interests

I have stressed it many times in my work that laying all of our woes at the GCs’ (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) feet is what conspiracists do, and it is not only inaccurate, but reflects thinking like a victim (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). The only way out of this mess is thinking like creators, and creators create with love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). A challenge will be reading these posts without judgment (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). I am simply explaining why we don’t enjoy the benefits of free energy today, and when people understand why, then untried paths to free energy can become thinkable, such as what I am doing. The GCs are only the apex predators in a jungle filled with predators (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jungle).

Dennis encountered resistance and attempts to wipe him out or steal his business (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked) from the street level to the highest councils on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). The last time that Dennis was wiped out, it was by the national government (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc). Even though the sitting president’s energy advisor was one of Dennis’s fans, it didn’t matter, when interests such as David Rockefeller (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) got involved. In Seattle, the Rockefellers’ bank wiped out Dennis’s manufacturer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=598&viewfull=1#post598), and I have little doubt that Rockefeller interests were involved in covering up JFK’s murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), if they were not involved in the murder itself.

In Seattle, the ringleader of the electric companies was the Bonneville Power Administration, a federal agency, and Bill the BPA Hit Man (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm) worked for them. In Dennis’s home town of Yakima, the local oligarchy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#yakima) made it clear to Dennis that without their blessing, his effort would go nowhere. When we were in Boston, New England’s electric companies held secret meetings, to decide what to do with us, and they may well have attacked (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#middlesex) if we had stayed in town, but Dennis got the red carpet treatment (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carpet) from Mr. Big in New England. I met my first billionaire in Boston, who came to our office, sniffing for opportunities. Dennis would be swarmed with billionaires when he was flying high, but none were really there to help, but to sniff out opportunities.

Every nation, region, and town has its ruling class. That is just a human universal, in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). Elites are as old as civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear), but I expect them to vanish in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), just as slavery vanished in the Fourth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend). Elites only make sense in certain economic Epochs, and in the Fifth Epoch, they will become obsolete. They know this, too, which is why the GCs have been as vigilant and active as they have, to keep free energy under wraps, but the other oligarchies would do the same, and have done the same, when they recognized a threat to their interests.

Dennis made the mistake of thinking that he would get the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1) for bringing the energy conservation that he saw the full page ads from the electric companies begging for. It was more conservation than they had in mind, and what happened in Seattle, IMO, was more about the local oligarchy’s wiping out the threat than any GC involvement, but there were several telltale signs that the GCs may have also been involved. I think that it is safe to say that they were well aware of what happened in Seattle. They may have whispered in some ears, but the other oligarchs hardly needed any persuading.

Other oligarchic interests below the GC level (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) have been responsible for a great deal of the suppression of people like Dennis. No need to credit it all to the GCs.

Hi:

Before I get to the hit men and women, thieves and other criminals, and those who enabled them and even cheered them on, this post will be a little preamble. My goal is to make such people vanish, and the only way I know how to do that is by the coming of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). By vanishing, I don’t mean that those people won’t exist, but their behaviors won’t. It gives me no great pleasure to describe the many crimes that the people I am about to list committed, often while acting as public officials.

Sometime in the past year, I was doing some reading on psychopaths, and they have physiological and behavioral similarities. In one article I read, a scientist was interviewed who studied psychopathy, and he gradually realized that he fit the psychopath profile, but his life’s experiences did not lead him to manifest those tendencies, and he was grateful. We are not hardwired into being good guys or bad guys. It is up to each of us (the free will deal of being human), and when I think of Mr. Deputy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), who is heading to Max’s vicinity (https://www.afterlife-knowledge.com/maxhell.html) when he passes over, I have wondered what kind of upbringing brought him to his state. He is a very talented psychopath, with the Boy Scout routine down cold. Ken Hodgell (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) had the Mr. Rogers act down pat, so that he could get close enough to sink his dagger in deeply. How could somebody become an investigator who didn’t mind putting innocent people behind bars (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care) while lying to do it (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#lie)? How could people choose such lives?

In the Fifth Epoch, if people do act in those ways, they will be seen as sick and in need of help, not somebody who retires to a hero’s farewell after wrecking countless lives in the pursuit of wealth. In the Fifth Epoch, nobody will see the point of becoming a gangster. Also, and I have seen this in the mystical literature for many years, in the coming age, many of today’s unused abilities will be normal, so that conning people will be very difficult to achieve. People who lie will give off a vibe that will be easily recognizable, and hardly anybody will even try. I know that it is hard to imagine today, but new Epochs have never been imaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) before they arrived.

Again, this list will only be to explain what happened, and show how those behaviors contributed to humanity’s predicament. Not only do we not enjoy living in the Fifth Epoch, but we have our toes over the edge of the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and behaviors that I am about to describe contributed quite a bit to this situation. If we had been unmolested in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), the Fifth Epoch would already be here.

Best,

Hi:

The Hit Men and Women.

Oh my, this will be a long list. I am going to use my eidetic memory (while I still have one :) ) to add more color to some of these accounts, to help flesh them out into real people and put more on the record. As I mentioned in my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2045&viewfull=1#post2045), I am sympathetic with the people that I am about to list. Most are headed to the lower astral plane when they pass over, I am sorry for my part in their journeys, and I will likely try to help rescue some of them from their “heavens (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell)” after I have passed.

When I write “hit men,” I don’t necessarily mean murderers, but people whose jobs were wiping out our businesses and efforts. Probably few of them had any idea that they were serving the GCs’ (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) interests, sometimes directly. But some of them were murderers, or helped put people in place to be murdered, in a division of labor that characterizes evil operations such as the Holocaust (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward).

Long before I met Dennis, he nearly lost his life many times, after being forced to leave home at age 13 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=576&viewfull=1#post576). He became a medic in the army and wanted to become a surgeon and escape his agrarian roots, but he participated (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=778&viewfull=1#post778) in the greatest international crime since World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early), as he followed orders. Dennis’s surrogate religion of American nationalism went up in smoke one day in a bank lobby, and when he was about to commit suicide (with the barrel of his gun in his mouth), a voice in his head dissuaded him from it (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice), and Dennis calls that voice “God.” I just call mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3) the voice in my head as, to my knowledge, that voice rarely, if ever, identifies itself. Dennis considers every moment since that day to be gravy, as he was about to pull the trigger when the voice piped up.

After helping the FBI bust the Mob in Alaska, Dennis survived two hit attempts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=577&viewfull=1#post577). Dennis fled the Alaskan Mob, to end up in New Jersey of all places. When he realized that his idealistic visions would not be realized via the academic/professional route (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=578&viewfull=1#post578), he dropped out of college on the brink of graduation and began his entrepreneurial adventures. The Jersey Mob kept trying to muscle in on Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=579&viewfull=1#post579), and Dennis survived one hit attempt (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=606213&viewfull=1#post606213) in a way that earned the Mob’s “respect,” and they left him alone after that (at least, the Jersey Mob :) ). An ironic aspect of that situation is that members of organized crime could display more integrity than the government officials sicced on Dennis over the years.

I think that I’ll list these hit men and women in something resembling chronological order.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I’ll start with the hit men that Dennis encountered before I met him (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601). When I write of hit men and thieves, people could wear both hats, and Dennis encountered plenty of that in his early days on the East Coast. I just posted on some of the early hit attempts that Dennis survived (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2046&viewfull=1#post2046). Those weren’t the only ones. Mobsters are thieves who liberally use violence to get their way. They don’t usually begin their efforts with violence. The violence is more of an enforcement tool, not far removed from how empires operate. The USA is acting like a weak and declining empire today, as it increasingly invades and intervenes in oil-rich nations (Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), Libya (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya), Syria (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#syria), Iran (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/138-Iran-and-the-USA?p=2016&viewfull=1#post2016), Venezuela (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#venezuela), etc., etc.). Strong empires don’t need to do that. They only have to make suggestions, and everybody nods at the wisdom of it and does the Empire’s bidding. :) The GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) use violence sparingly (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), more as a last resort, when their huge bag of tricks (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic) fails to produce the desired outcome.

When Dennis got involved in the foam insulation business (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=582&viewfull=1#post582), mobsters once again got involved, and similar to Dennis’s business associates who kept stealing Dennis’s businesses, the mobsters were too stupid and greed-blinded (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#greed) to understand that Dennis was the magic in his businesses, and that without him, the businesses were doomed to failure. So, when his businesses were stolen by mobsters, as they sat at Dennis’s desk, with their feet propped up on it, waiting for the money to roll in, the operation swiftly collapsed around their ears. That was the standard outcome of stealing Dennis’s companies. They always ended in bloodbaths. The thieves stripped off all the meat from the bones of Dennis’s businesses that they could, but they were always disappointed, and in their dark path (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) insanity, they all blamed Dennis for the rapid demise of what they stole from him. They all saw themselves as deserving far more plunder from what they stole. Dennis made it look so easy.

When one of his foam businesses was stolen by mobsters and the roof soon collapsed on their heads, they went looking for Dennis, to go break his legs, but Dennis was “saved” by being paralyzed by Guilaine Barre Syndrome (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=583&viewfull=1#post583), and when the mobsters found him at the VA facility, paralyzed, they had a laugh and moved on to their next “project.”

Because of his Vietnam days (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=778&viewfull=1#post778), Dennis joined veterans groups and helped Vietnam vets, even taking them into his home. Two vets that Dennis took in (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=590&viewfull=1#post590) later tried to murder him, at the direction of their new mobster buddies, and in the final act of stealing Dennis’s heat pump company (by the Long Island Mob, not the New Jersey Mob, who left Dennis alone after he earned their “respect”), Dennis was given a “choice” of signing over his company to the mobsters, or being murdered by those very vets that he took in. Dennis nearly killed them all himself, in an act of understandable vengeance, but he overcame it and never considered violence as a solution again. Dennis has been tested. :)
Also, while some of the hit men that Dennis encountered were real hit men, who murdered for a living, others that I call hit men and women attacked Dennis and his efforts in other ways, and the pen can be mightier than the sword. The media attacks on Dennis began on the East Coast, and their attacks were always about protecting the interests of their private-interest patrons. It is an aspect of Ed’s propaganda model (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), in which the media will always serve the interests of the rich in capitalist societies.

When Dennis was flying high with his foam business, insulating entire neighborhoods at one fell swoop, it did not just attract the attention of the hit men and thieves, but the local fiberglass insulation interests were threatened by Dennis’s success, and one Maryland (or was it Delaware?) newspaper named Dennis “The Con Man of the Year,” which was a gentle preview of what Dennis’s future encounters with the media would be like. Journalists, like nearly all professionals, have prostituted themselves to the prevailing winds of wealth and power (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity), and if their paymasters want them to smear a target, nearly all journalists will readily oblige, and make it up as they go in writing lies about the target. The 40-year smear campaign against Uncle Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia) was gentle compared to what Dennis has had to deal with. Dennis has had far more American media coverage than Noam ever will, and it was all uniformly libelous. I never saw mainstream media coverage of Dennis that was not a series of Big Lies, and what was amazing at first, but I now accept it as normal, is how everybody parrots the propaganda, in some kind of gossip echo chamber, even leading voices in the free energy milieu (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel).

So, the journalistic hit men and women stabbed Dennis with their pens, and wrought more damage on Dennis’s efforts than the assassins did.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

In general, the hit men and women only came after Dennis when he was flying high. When he wasn’t, there was nothing worth hitting. But they could also try to hit him hard enough when he was down so that he never flew again, as Dennis was persistent. :) The repeated attempts to get Dennis murdered in prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes) was an example of that.

The hit men and women could represent relatively free-lance efforts, such as the mobsters on the East Coast (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2046&viewfull=1#post2046), but most of the hit men and women acted on behalf of relatively covert interests, which could hail from the GC level (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2043&viewfull=1#post2043), but were usually more local in nature (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2044&viewfull=1#post2044).

One aspect of their attacks deserves mention, which also highlights a great deal of the naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) that I have seen among free energy inventors and promoters, including Greer (he may have outgrown some of that over the years). I have read a number of accounts in which the inventors/promoters said that they were investigated, nothing was found, and the investigation ended, or they said that they welcomed investigations because they had nothing to hide. Such people have never been targeted. That is not how it works when people are targeted. When the hit men and women are on the attack, what will never be mentioned is that they are really attacking because their target is talking up UFOs or is putting the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on people’s homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs). They attack based on Big Lies, getting their targets for failing to file a form (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate), inflating a parking ticket into a capital crime, making it up as they go, and the like. The attacks will never be for the stated reasons, and the personal integrity of the assailants is so low (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) that they likely don’t know and don’t care why they were sicced on Dennis. They just had a job to do, and slaughtering the innocent provided psychic income for some of them (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), while others evinced a little more conscience. I have witnessed the full spectrum over the years.

So, when Dennis had his company stolen once more by mobsters in late 1983, he took his family home to Yakima for Christmas, and his son died of crib death (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=591&viewfull=1#post591). Dennis soon noticed the newspaper accounts of the biggest municipal bond default in American history to that time, known as “Whoops (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#whoops)” today. Before then, Washington had the cheapest utility bills on Earth, with all of the hydroelectric dams, with customers paying one cent per kilowatt-hour. Dennis could not sell energy conservation equipment in a situation like that. But with Whoops, electricity was predicted to climb to six cents and more, and many homes and businesses were all-electric. The fossil fuel interests were going to have a huge market to exploit in the wake of Whoops, and Dennis began seeing full-page ads in the newspapers from the electric companies, begging for conservation. With a COP of a mere six, Dennis’s heat pump would save about 85% over electric resistance heating.

Dennis thought that the electric companies would throw him a tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1) for saving the day by bringing the conversation that their ads begged for. It was an honest, yet naïve, response to their ads. Electric companies, like all other companies, are in the business of selling as much of their product as possible at the highest possible price. That is the name of the capitalist game, and if you have monopolies (or highly organized oligopolies), then you can milk the customers for maximum profits (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit). Those electric company ads, to put it mildly, were disingenuous. They wanted conservation all right, of maybe a third of the customers’ electric consumption, while the electric companies sold them conventional heat pumps that got COPS of two or so (not all electricity goes to heating, for those trying to run the numbers). The difference between something that saved 50% for heating versus 85% would be billions of dollars of lost revenue. Dennis was unwittingly undermining the scam.

Early on in Yakima, Dennis began experimenting with his heat pump, to go after the hot water used in apple and produce processing in the area, which used natural gas. He was getting COPs of 12 in the summer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=592&viewfull=1#post592). When the local electric company thought that Dennis was going to compete against the natural gas interests, they sent out an engineer to advise Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page7?p=840&viewfull=1#post840). He was helpful, until Dennis began discussing converting all of those all-electric homes to his heat pump, and the engineer then got a “deer-in-the-headlights” expression and fled. That was Dennis’s first hint of what was coming.

After wasting nearly a year with Mr. Big in Yakima (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#yakima), Dennis took his family over the mountains to Seattle, with only one year left of Carter’s tax credit. Dennis tried to carpet Puget Sound with his heat pump before the tax credit expired. As he hit Seattle, Dennis still naively believed that the electric companies would welcome him, and he did everything that he could think of to attract their attention, but ran up against a stone wall of seeming indifference. They only feigned indifference. What Dennis was attempting was their worst nightmare.

Every time that Dennis tried to make a move, his deals somehow fell apart. He was puzzled, until a bank representative told him (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle1) that some mysterious interests in Seattle had it in for him, and Dennis did not know whom it could be. So, the early hit men and women are going to remain anonymous, as they did their dirty work in the dark, making calls to bank executives and the like. I’ll call them wholesale hit men and women, working in the smoke-filled rooms and back alleys.

When Dennis kept getting stonewalled and his deals kept blowing up, he decided to just stack up contracts and get somebody’s attention that way, and he quickly sold a thousand systems in Seattle, and lined up a manufacturer in California to build them. He also had to leave the Seattle area to find a bank willing to work with him, and found a finance company in Spokane (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604). Just then, the Rockefellers’ bank wiped out Dennis’s manufacturer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=598&viewfull=1#post598), in an event that I no longer think was a coincidence (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888). Those events coincided with the electric companies’ unmasking themselves as Dennis’s assailant, as they publicly called his company a scam (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam) and called for an investigation by the Attorney General. Until the electric companies went public like that, their hit men and women were all anonymous wholesale agents of evil. But when they went public, then Dennis began encountering what I will call the retail hit men and women, who have names and faces, and I’ll run down the litany of them in Seattle. It is a pretty long list, as the electric companies pulled out all the stops to eliminate the threat that Dennis had unwittingly presented.

Best,
