Hi:
For what is coming, I can’t give all of my sources, and won’t always attribute them to the people who told me, but I will describe some of my connections to what I am about to disclose:
On that attachment of the javelin lists at Cal Poly and Ventura College is a picture of Rob, who is number two on the school list, for the old javelin. We stayed in touch, I gave him stock when I became Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614), and we were pretty good friends. Like with so many of my friends, we fell out of touch over the years (my surreal ride challenged his worldview, as it did most people), but this old man plans to look him up before I turn 70.
On that Cal Poly list (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1381560&viewfull=1#post1381560), with the school record in the decathlon, under the 1962 tables, is Pete. I tutored him in school once, and he moved to Ventura after college, where he still lives the last I looked him up a few years ago. We would run into each other when I lived with my mother before beginning my career in LA (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) and when I was in Ventura with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and we talked about our lives and the like (he heard about how we were being wiped out in Ventura). He is a good man and a legendary salesman.
On the track team was a babe who was also a cheerleader, whom I also worked for in LA. I just tried looking her up on the women’s list at Cal Poly. She was a high jumper, and I think she jumped 5’9”, which just missed the list. At Ventura College, I was neighbors with the woman who holds the school record in the high jump, and I saw her make that record jump.
One of my college roommates was roommates in LA after college with a son of Fortune Gordien (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_Gordien), who set the world record in the discus several times, but had the misfortune, as many others did, of throwing in the Olympics against Al Oerter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Oerter), so Gordien never won a gold medal. Gordien’s son was a world-class high jumper himself, is on the top-ten list with Dwight Stones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_Stones) at Long Beach State (I remember seeing his marks when I was in high school and college), and was roommates with Tom Petranoff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Petranoff) at an international track meet. He was friends with Stones and many others in track, being kind of track royalty himself. When I had clients in Orange County, I would sleep on the floor of their Newport Beach house, rather than drive two hours each way to work.
One of my classmates at Cal Poly was roommates with several Cal Poly cheerleaders. Like so many of us, we ended up in LA, where the jobs were, and we hung out down there. As fate would have it, we ended up on the same audit, of that world’s largest savings and loan bank (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting), and we hung out a little there.
There are others that I could list. Generally, I was oblivious to many undercurrents of what was happening, at both college and in my career, and my friends and colleagues would later tell me what was happening, which regularly floored me. But, back to my track career for a moment. When I turned 20, I became a vegan (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm) and soon lost about 15 pounds. During my sophomore year in track at Ventura College, I was the skinniest javelin thrower in California, at 6’1” and about 141 pounds. My best mark that year was at the Mt. Sac relays, where I threw just under 200 feet (with a borrowed javelin, as mine did not meet the strict parameters that they were subject to at the implement “weigh in” at meets like that). I came in fifth. In fourth was Rob, with his first 200-foot throw, and in third was Mark Anderson, who threw 204.
Rob and I chatted at the Mt. Sac meet, and when we surprisingly met each other on the Cal Poly track team, we soon became friends. As fate would have it, he became roommates with one of my friends from Ventura, who was the top tennis player at Cal Poly, who went pro after college and was ranked about 300 in the world at one point. His story is one of many I know, of people who tried out their hand in professional sports. Only this guy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brook_Jacoby) made it. He grew up in my neighborhood, his younger brother and my younger brother were best friends for a time, united by surfing and bodybuilding (and marijuana and steroids).
The year after Anderson threw for Mt. Sac, he went to UCLA and threw over 250 feet. That performance jump was common in those days and, in a word, the explanation for their sudden increase was steroids, particularly in “weight” events such as the javelin. Mark was also a seven foot high jumper. Mark became a decathlete, and not only still has the school record at UCLA in the decathlon (and second place in the javelin, and UCLA’s list has world record holders on it), but he had the highest decathlon mark in the USA in 1983, and was the USA’s hope to become the next Bruce Jenner (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caitlyn_Jenner). But as the 1984 Olympics neared, Anderson simply faded from view (and he was never going to beat who is arguably the greatest decathlete ever (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daley_Thompson)). He was top-ten ranked in the javelin in the USA in 1984 (ninth, as I recall), and I watched the Olympic trials in the javelin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_United_States_Olympic_Trials_(track_and_field)), and saw my only 300-foot throw there, and Anderson and others I had competed against were in those trials. Old man Stones set the American high jump record at those trials, incredibly.
I asked what happened to Anderson, and the answer I got back was “steroids testing.” They were beginning to test for steroids and other performance-enhancing substances, and the annals of track after that are full of athletes who set world records, to either have them stripped (such as Ben Johnson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Johnson_(Canadian_sprinter)#Olympic_games_and_subsequent_disqualification)), or later being suspended or banned (such as Randy Barnes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Barnes)), that it would take days to list them all out. There are world records from those days that still stand, such as in the discus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discus_throw#All-time_top_25_discus_throwers), and the Soviet Bloc nations were the worst. The entire East German women’s track team (https://globalsportmatters.com/health/2019/11/07/ex-east-german-athletes-struggle-with-health-problems-due-to-the-consequences-of-ped-taking/) was on steroids and the like, and half of them were as ripped as men, and one even became a man (https://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/26/sports/drug-testing-east-german-steroids-toll-they-killed-heidi.html). Many were not caught, in the increasing sophistication for beating the tests, and Florence Griffith-Joyner’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Griffith_Joyner) records, which will likely never be beaten, are highly suspect, as is her sudden death a decade later. I heard of many steroid casualties of those days, such as testicular cancer and the like. That was a life-shortening practice.
It did not only happen at the world-class level, but you can see the guy who is number nine on the Cal Poly javelin list, at 198’. The next year, he transferred to Cal State Northridge, and is at number 10 on their top-ten list for throwing 225’. I never met him, but those who knew him at Cal Poly, and saw him throw for Northridge, said that it was all about steroids, and our coach even said so. That was typical in those days.
At junior college, I could dabble at the high jump, but at the university, the javelin throw was the only one I could be competitive in. I still was a vegan for the fall quarter when I got there, and tried using the dorm kitchen to make rice and beans dishes, but that was not going to work. So, in January 1980, I began eating six hard-boiled eggs a day, boiled in my roommate’s coffee maker, and began weight-training, and soon put on about 20 pounds of muscle. At 163 pounds, I will still the skinniest javelin thrower around, but I began throwing big. I trained with Rob in the weight room, and he had me bench press 150 pounds, which was the most I ever benched. But, my “friends” were in evidence once again, and events conspired so that I never came close to reaching my potential. But, one day, about two months into the season, I was throwing about 210’ in practice, which caused one coach to come over, amazed, and ask how far I was throwing that day. The same day, I injured what was probably my ulnar collateral ligament (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_collateral_ligament_of_elbow_joint), which is what baseball pitchers regularly blow out today, and the famous Tommy John surgery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_collateral_ligament_reconstruction) is routinely performed today. I eventually went to the doctor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kerlan) who was partners with the inventor of that surgery, and that is another long story that I won’t tell anytime soon.
I was out six weeks from that injury. College track season is not very long, as it begins in January and finishes in May, and being out six weeks like that pretty much scuttled my season. Rob and I threw similar marks that season, sometimes within a foot of each other, and I could see the hand of my “friends” in evidence. After six weeks of recovery, when I could throw again, I went to a dual meet with Fresno State. It has a tartan (artificial (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartan_track)) runway, which I had never thrown on before, and I had to throw in my high jump shoes. It was a trying day (Rob injured himself, trying to throw that day on that runway, and it killed one of my toenails), but one of my throws, which was not a very good throw, went 202’6” and came in second to the Fresno State thrower, who was used to that runway, who threw about 220’. That was my last meet throw of the year, as events conspired against my competing. I won’t get into all of the details, but as I look back, they were more bizarre interventions by my “friends.” I never reached that level again, and permanently damaged my back the next year, trying to come back too soon from a weight-lifting injury, so I could make All-American in my last chance for meaningless athletic glory.
With the theft of my newspaper clippings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482), I can’t reproduce the clipping of that throw of 202’6”, but it was the dual meet with Fresno State in 1980, which was probably held in April. When I subscribed to the LA Times, to dig up the Mt. Sac mark from junior college, I searched for that clipping and could not find it. Maybe it was in the local San Luis Obispo newspaper, or maybe even the school paper, but the documentation is out there somewhere. That throw would put me at number nine on the Cal Poly list, and that is quite a story, which I will tell next, along with the many scandalous events that I heard of after graduation, which was part of my awakening experience. At Ventura College, they did not even keep the old javelin list, so I don’t show up on their list, either. I have kind of been erased. :)
I was around world-class throwers, some took interest in me and my talent, and if I had been properly coached and devoted myself to training, I would have likely been a 250-to-260-foot thrower, which was world-class and would have made the Olympic trials, but that was not my path. My “friends” had other plans for me.
Best,

Hi:
After I saw that javelin plow into those photographers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page4?p=467&viewfull=1#post467), getting ready to film Houston McTear, I wandered across the infield and stood at about the halfway point, next to the track, of the 100-meter race that was about to begin. Little did I know it at the time, but I was about to witness one of history’s fastest starts. I am not kidding, that by 30 meters into the race, McTear’s lead was about ten meters, and he just cruised to the finish line. He may have been the fastest starter ever (http://www.houstonmctear.com/what-did-he-do.html). There has never really been a sprinter like McTear (http://www.houstonmctear.com/who-was-he.html), before or since. Houston was only a year older than me, but he died several years ago, and I am sure that his lifestyle contributed to his early demise.
From the clippings that were not stolen (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2502&viewfull=1#post2502), the one that is titled “Pirates 93, Corsairs 42” was my first college track meet. It was against Santa Monica City College. That was the school that McTear ran for that year, my guess is that it was the only year that he attended college, and that is partly why Southern California Junior College was the hotbed of track that it was: you could be virtually illiterate and attend school, for free. I really wonder if McTear even showed up for class. That summer, he won nearly all of the meets that he was in around the world, and was ranked number two in the world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_McTear#Rankings) in the 100 meters that year, which was his peak ranking.
I took full advantage of that free college and was a student-athlete, while most of my teammates were athlete-students. I doubt that many of my junior college track team members graduated with a bachelor’s degree. They were largely there for the track. Even at the university, few of my teammates were good academic students. They were largely there to run track and get a degree on the side. I did not reach my potential partly because I was a student-athlete, spending my time studying instead of training.
In the results of my first college meet, you can see that it was not the 100-meter dash, but the 100-yard dash, which is about 10 yards shorter. That was what McTear co-held the world record in, and being a fast starter, he liked the event better. I am not sure if he ran the 220 that year. He was better at the even shorter 60 meters and 60 yards, and had world records in them outright for several years, and one 60-meter time was denied because it just seemed like it was too fast to be believable, which is pretty unusual in the annals of track.
It was a big deal that a world record holder came to our school to race, and they set up a PA system for the school’s athletic director to speak, who exhorted McTear to run that day. McTear decided to not run in that meet, because his hamstring was a little tight, as I recall. He had a little entourage with him, of a couple black guys about his age, when I bumped into him in the locker room. McTear fell in with the wrong company, was actually homeless in the 1980s, living on the beach in Santa Monica, and trained for his comeback while homeless, which was actually a pretty successful comeback, which is unprecedented in the history of track and field, to my knowledge. There are many stories of athletes who made zillions in their careers and spent it as fast as they made it, and ended up broke (https://moneyinc.com/20-high-paid-athletes-went-completely-broke/), but track was amateur in those days, so they never had much to begin with, and McTear’s was only one of many sad tales that I saw or heard of.
At that meet where I saw McTear smoke the field, on the infield, this guy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Laut), Dave, was throwing the shot put. He grew up in the same town where I first lived in California (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2489&viewfull=1#post2489). At that meet, he lost to the guy who still has the school record at the University of Washington (and I heard the steroid rumors about him then). Dave tied the American record at one point, and the world record holder at the time, Brian, whose throw was not officially recognized (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Oldfield), pioneered the spin method of shot put throwing, like a discus thrower, which is the most popular technique today (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_put#All-time_top_25_shot_putters). Dave adopted the style, under Brian’s guidance, and Brian thought that Dave would become the world record holder. Dave did not quite set the world record, but did alright, and “only” won the bronze medal at the 1984 Olympics, and after that, like so many like him, he became a coach, and even an assistant coach at Ventura College, probably making $20K per year or so. Becoming coaches was one of the few career options for those guys, when their athletic careers were over. It was low-paying work. I repeatedly saw this, of world-class athletes who became high school coaches and the like.
But, their careers back then were really not all that amateur, and this is where I get into the scandalous stuff that I heard over the years. From 1979 to 1981 (https://www.ncaa.com/history/trackfield-outdoor-men/d2), Cal Poly won the national championship in track. It was not Division I, but Division II. We won the national championship in football, too, when I was there. But we were one of the top track programs in the country, even taking Division I into account, and while I was there, we had dual meets with USC, Berkeley, and Oregon State, to name a few, and while we never won against them, we were competitive, and they celebrated when they beat us. While I was in school, I had no idea what was really happening behind the scenes, but after graduation, I began hearing from pals what was really going down.
Soon after graduating, one pal was an assistant basketball coach in Division I, in the same conference with UNLV, and a few years later, UNLV won the national championship under Jerry Tarkanian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Tarkanian). My friend (we backpacked and hiked together) said that the UNLV program was deeply corrupt, but the mobsters who ran Vegas (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1408&viewfull=1#post1408) made sure that the NCAA’s investigations never really went anywhere. It was only after the Mob was finally run out of Vegas, when the corporations squeezed them out (and they have been reduced to being the silent partners at Indian casinos), that UNLV finally got its bell rung (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Tarkanian#University_of_Nevada,_Las_Vegas_(1973%E2%80%931992)). Next to corporate America and the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), mobsters are amateurs.
At Cal Poly, under-the-table money was the norm, for the leading performers (on a sliding scale, based on performance), and the highest levels of the athletic department were in on it. San Luis Obispo is a classic college town, as the university dominates it. The faculty members, and especially the coaches of the big sports, were pillars of the community, family men, etc., except that they secretly “dated” the cheerleaders. Cal Poly was recently sanctioned by the NCAA (https://calcoastnews.com/2019/04/ncaa-sanctions-cal-poly-for-overpaying-athletes-for-books/), and the NCAA did get on Cal Poly’s case in the 1980s (https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=3329717) for loose governance, but if all the stuff that I heard of came out (which I heard from the direct participants or witnesses), it would have been a legendary scandal.
On a relatively innocuous aspect of these issues, in that top ten list (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2503&viewfull=1#post2503) that I should be on, number 8, at 205’, was not even a legal throw, which was made by a teammate when I was recovering from that injury. The coach simply guessed what the foul throw would have been if it was legal, which is why it is 205 feet and zero inches – a very general approximation. The guy who made that throw was married, but a woman who joined the track team, who is on their top ten list today, was one of the most beautiful women that I ever saw (think Snow White, except more beautiful). He left his wife to swoop down on her, and they married, as I recall.
Leaving spouses, stealing spouses, I saw that from those teammates. Also, when I state that I should be at number nine (or eight, really), I am not even sure about that. Five of the top ten were my teammates. Sure, we won national championships in those years, but Cal Poly also had a string of three years as national champion a decade earlier, and I don’t see anybody on the list from that stint. I wonder who else might have been left off of it. I guess you could say that I don’t have much confidence in that list. :) I actually contacted the current track coach more than a decade ago, letting him know I was left off the list, and cited my mark and where and when I did it. They had the records to confirm it. All that it did was put me on their alumni radar that I had dropped off of, so I get literature regularly from Cal Poly, which seeks donations.
Years later, two of my high school teachers got caught “dating” students, but who were high school girls. One went to prison (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-01-20-sp-1631-story.html) (he lived in my neighborhood), and the other (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-02-04-me-19001-story.html) was the one that Tom (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2497&viewfull=1#post2497) and I were close to. They were star athletes when they attended Ventura High, came back as the truly big men on campus, and both got caught doing it during their midlife crises, and there is a lot more that I could write about them, but won’t. It was all truly tragic, and I have to say that with neither of them was it a big surprise to me when it happened. They definitely had eyes for the girls. I lived in Ohio when the first scandal broke, and I read about it in Ohio, as it made the national news.
Back in the 1980s, when gay men were just starting to come out, and Jane Fonda was making women’s exercise popular (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Fonda#Philanthropy), it didn’t take long for some men to figure it out and attend those women’s exercise classes, posing as gay men. It was the ticket to getting laid, as women tried to “save” them for the heterosexual cause, to let them try it out, to see if they liked it. I remember laughing when I read that, as men can use any angle to get laid.
In my freshman year, this guy’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Porras) locker was next to mine, we sometimes played basketball together, but he never made it to the NFL, became a high school coach, and was fired after seducing a student. I have seen this over and over, and know of one my age who still plays those games. It was like they never really grew up.
One of my takeaways is that it is very dangerous for any man, let alone a former athlete, to have a job where he puts his hands on women. I have seen that repeatedly lead to disaster, and criminal offenses. That recent scandal with women’s gymnastics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_Gymnastics_sex_abuse_scandal) was no surprise to me.
So, I eventually heard about the under-the-table money, married coaches dating the cheerleaders, and other scandalous behavior, and we were only Division II. At Division I, I heard about a kid close to me who was a football prospect. He got to have a weekend recruiting visit to a Division I university with a big-time program, and as he met the head coach, a cute co-ed was standing next to the coach, who said, “She is yours for the weekend.” I can guarantee that the public scandals are the very few that came into the open for some reason. The vast majority of them happen quietly, and the public never hears about them.
My Cal Poly head track coach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Miller_(athletics)) left before any scandals became public, and he had quite the high-profile career. He was eventually hired to lead the Professional Bowling Association back to relevance, and there was even a documentary made about him.
All such coaches were always hunting for money, from alums and the like. One of my school-record pals once expressed his dismay to me that when he contacted his former coach, who had moved on to another school, all that that coach was interested in was donations, and it was not even for the school that my pal attended!
Even when track was amateur, under-the-table money for the world’s best performers was typical, and steroids and other performance enhancing substances were the norm. My guess is that virtually all world-class weight-event throwers (shot, discus, javelin, and hammer) were on steroids in the 1970s. When I was in college, a survey was published in which 70% of college track athletes answered yes to this question: If you could take a drug that would see you set the world record in five years, but you would be dead in ten years, would you do it? I heard that the same stat pretty much applies to college track athletes today. It is the same stupid mentality that makes 18-year-old boys such good cannon fodder (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). There are sad evolutionary reasons for that, as men became evolutionarily selected for their ability to slaughter their neighbors, which likely goes back to chimps (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), which resulted in enhanced status for the survivors, enhanced mating privileges, and the like.
It is only in recent years that I began thinking about my javelin days and the dangers of them in a different way. The javelin throw is literally the repurposing of one of humanity’s oldest weapons into a sport, turning a sword into a ploughshare, so to speak. That throwing ability that I inherited would have made me quite the hunter or warrior, in the First (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1) and Second (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2) Epochs. I was literally bred to become the athlete that I was, and instead of becoming a killer (of big game or my fellow humans), which would have been my “profession” in earlier Epochs, I became an athlete. I am not sure if Dave had “roid rage (https://www.steroid.com/Roid-Rage.php)” or not, but his wife murdered him (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Laut#Death), claiming self-defense.
Steroid use was even rampant in baseball (https://detroit.cbslocal.com/2012/08/29/does-this-prove-that-hank-aaron-was-juicing/) long before the steroid scandals of the past generation. And oh, how big the egos all were, as nearly everybody swaggered. I likely saw more arrogance than brotherly comradery. As I stated previously, I really began to hate all of the competitive everything that I was raised with, almost from the cradle, from board games to organized sports to spelling bees (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2489&viewfull=1#post2489) to class academic rankings to endless test-taking, and soon after I graduated, I began avoiding all competitive sports and games. The chimp in me is not that far below the surface (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page3?p=2453&viewfull=1#post2453), and I hate that I was ruined in that way. One of my great hopes for the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is that that aspect of humanity is soon bred out of the gene pool. We sure don’t need it. There will be no “need” to kill our neighbors any longer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#deathrate), march off to war, etc. In that heavenly Roads world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), there is no competition.
I heard virtually all of that stuff before my ride with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), while I was slowly beginning to understand that my profession was worthless (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting). I’ll leave my athletic days behind now, and focus on my post-collegiate life.
Best,
Wade

A bit of trivia here. :) (Forgive me, but it might be an interesting footnote!)
Many athletics fans will remember Bob Beamon's extraordinary, surreal, record-breaking long jump in the Mexico 1968 Olympics. I'm guessing you may have caught that with interest as a kid, but maybe that was before you started longjumping yourself? I'd be interested in your timeline here, and if that was part of your own inspiration as a young athlete.
For those unfamiliar with this, Bob Beamon, an American, just about jumped right out of the pit. He decimated the then-world record by such a huge margin that some very serious sports commentators speculated that it might never be broken. (It eventually was broken by a mere 2 inches, 23 years later in 1991, another freakish record that still stands to this day.)
And, most interestingly, some have speculated that Beamon might even have momentarily and unconsciously levitated. If one thinks about it, a fraction of a second's levitation as a longjumper could easily add a couple of feet to one's distance. :)
Do watch this video (anyone reading this!) — it's short, but it's really quite something. :sun:

Thanks Bill (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1381871&viewfull=1#post1381871)!
Ah, that was truly legendary, and a big part of the track lore, but I was only ten when he did it, and not very aware of it at the time, if aware at all. Actually, I first got my track dreams when watching Frank Shorter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Shorter) win the marathon in the 1972 Olympics, when I was 14. I remember telling my parents that I wanted to become an Olympian, which probably half of American boys thought of in those days. I had long-distance running talent, but not sprinting. I was a 20 foot long-jumper because of my vertical jumping ability, not my sprinting ability, and the best long jumpers were sprinters, such as Carl Lewis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Lewis), who is history’s greatest long jumper, who reproduced Al Oerter’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Oerter) feat of four gold medals in his event. Lewis actually had a 30-foot jump that was improperly called a foul, so that was kind of Beamonesque
Ironically, as fate would have it, if I had been properly coached and did the training, I likely would have qualified for the Olympic trials, for the 1984 Olympics (I was not world record material, but I would have been respectable), but I was only a spectator. What I didn’t write about before was that when around those world-class performers, it became clear that they had to treat their sport like a job, devoting several hours a day to it. While I could have done it, I would have sacrificed too much else of my life, and I have to admit that I would not have done it. I had too much else on my plate.
For another of my life’s surreal events, after watching the trials (and Lewis jumped that day, as I recall), in the parking lot outside of LA’s Coliseum, I recognized a man going to his car in the parking lot, and it was the man who got Ventura College’s school record instead of me, after I advised him during the meet on his technique (I told him to slow down, and he threw 207’, when his best throw before then was about 185’, and the school record was 199’ at the time, which I nearly did at Mt. SAC (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2502&viewfull=1#post2502) a few weeks later). He was about the nicest guy that I knew in track, and he had come to watch the javelin trials himself. It was good to accost him and chat for a few minutes. That is another example of my “friends” at work. That school record was supposed to be mine, from my freshman year, and the nicest guy you could think of joined the team, who never threw before, and got the record on my advice. It was a humbling experience. When we met in that parking lot, he was driving a tractor for a living, while I worked in a skyscraper. He made the more honest living.
So, I eventually did go to the Olympic trials, as a spectator. :)
On the Beamon footage, I have watched it many times over the years. In the history of track, that might be the single most spectacular performance, breaking the world record by nearly two feet. Nothing like that will ever happen again, and you can’t see it very well in that clip, but Beamon collapsed when they read out the mark. What he did was nearly inconceivable. Of course, the altitude helped, and some impressive world records were set at those Olympics.

Hi:
As a coda to those athletic posts, Cal Poly is in San Luis Obispo (“SLO”), which is one of Earth’s most idyllic settings. 200 miles up the coast is Silicon Valley and the Bay Area, and 200 miles down the coast is LA. The student body seemed pretty evenly split between northern and southern California when I was there, although LA likely predominated.
LA was a hellhole, compared to SLO, while the Bay Area and Silicon Valley were much nicer places to live than LA, but LA was where most of the jobs were, especially during the worst recession in 40 years. Many pals who planned to live the Bay Area ended up in LA to begin their careers, including me, who wanted to live in Seattle. I crawled back to LA, defeated in early 1982, and began my career in LA.
In SLO were, and I am sure it is still the case, graduates who wanted no part of living in the big cities, so I worked as a fry cook in my last year in college (my money ran out) alongside people with degrees in engineering, architecture, and the like, who refused to leave. One pal from my grade school gifted programs graduated from Cal Poly (I ran into several of them at Cal Poly), and after graduation, stayed in SLO, and he maintained vending machines. In Ventura, I saw the same thing, but my pals went away to universities, as Ventura County really didn’t have any at the time, came home after graduation, and ended up maintaining vending machines and the like. If you didn’t work for the local naval bases, schools, or the oil industry (there were offshore oil platforms, which had an infamous oil spill (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Santa_Barbara_oil_spill) which I helped clean up, and a refinery that has since closed down), it was vending machine maintenance and the like.
For a couple of years, I visited Cal Poly after graduation, and I remember a visit in 1983, when I was working in LA. As fate would have it, there was a track meet that weekend at Cal Poly, some kind of all-comers meet, I happened to drive past the field when it was on, and that number 3 thrower on Cal Poly’s list (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2503&viewfull=1#post2503) was throwing. He had already graduated, but obviously stayed in SLO and there he was throwing in a kind of sandlot setting. At the time, I remember thinking that I was seeing some kind of time warp of arrested development. The next year, Glory Days, that Springsteen song (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_Days_(Bruce_Springsteen_song)), came out, and it articulated what I was feeling, seeing those post-graduate athletes doing that.
As I am documenting my life with these posts, attached is the badge from my first long-term job, at The Townhouse (https://www.venturatownehouse.com/), where I worked in the dining room and met my first girlfriend (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2501&viewfull=1#post2501), that friend who came up and backpacked a few times, including Lyman Basin (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page21?p=2106&viewfull=1#post2106) (and he attended Cal Poly and we were roommates in my last summer there), and I worked there three years, from my senior year in high school through my second year of college. That restaurant in SLO that I cooked at was Farley’s, card attached. My first post-graduate job was at that Seattle accounting firm, card attached, and when I crawled down to LA, I got the job at the CPA firm in downtown LA, card attached. Also attached is my ID card from when I worked out of town on the world’s biggest Savings and Loan bank (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#savings). That bank is long gone, as is that SLO restaurant, while the Seattle CPA firm is still around, as is the huge CPA firm, but it no longer has that name. I also attached some photo from one of those self-serve photo booths that abounded back then (the original selfies :) ), which I had to take for some ID purpose for an application of some sort.
I have written about my LA days (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) plenty, so no need to do so again. It was all preparation for meeting Dennis.

Hi:
I am going to present some pictures that I grabbed off the Internet, on that idyllic setting for Cal Poly. I am not exaggerating. Attached are some pics. Three are taken from the hill behind the dorms where I lived the first year. One is taken from the trail up one of those peaks in the distance (Bishop Peak), looking back at Cal Poly. If I had to be dumped the week after I got there (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2501&viewfull=1#post2501), there were worse places to be dumped. :)
While my “friends” have not made it easy for me, I have had compensation along the way, and going there for a little over two years was kind of an idyllic calm before the storm, and I understand why some students never wanted to leave.
That first week, during orientation week, before I was dumped, our orientation guide gave us a tour of the school radio station where he worked with Al Yankovic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Weird_Al%22_Yankovic), who was already called Weird Al, but it was before he became famous. He was beloved there before he became famous. I talked to him a time or two. He might be the most famous Cal Poly alum, and he did not even use his degree.

Hi:
While I am documenting my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482), I want to write about a subject that I have written at length about before, but it is particularly relevant today (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page24?p=2277&viewfull=1#post2277): the racism and bigotry that I was raised with. In scale, intensity, and duration, the USA is history’s most racist nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism1). During American history, all racial and ethnic groups had unflattering epithets bestowed on them (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism). My father was born and raised in Bellingham (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellingham,_Washington), and never saw a black person until he was 16, when a black man was on a train that passed through town, and stood on the platform at the train station, while it was stopped. Europeans largely invented racism as they conquered humanity.
Today, blacks make up more than 10% of Texas’s population, but do you see any in my third grade class picture (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2486&viewfull=1#post2486)? Heck, do you even see a Latino? Latinos and blacks comprise more than half of Texas’s population today. That Asian girl was likely Japanese, and I am going to guess that her father worked for NASA, like my father did. The rest were lily white.
In my Little League team picture in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2489&viewfull=1#post2489), there were a couple of Latino boys and a Japanese boy. But I do not recall even one black family living on my end of town. My first employer, Isaac Brown (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown), was black, but he lived on “The Avenue,” on the other end of Ventura, which was poor, and where Ventura’s relatively few blacks lived.
I went to the elementary school named after the literal saint (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra) who brought European “civilization” to California. There sure were not any Indian families in town. I remember reading the only mention of Indians in the local paper while growing up. Our home was near the Santa Clara River (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_River_(California)), which was usually a tiny stream that you could step over, running through a river bottom that was a thousand feet wide, which flooded and took out several bridges across it in 1969 (http://www.vcfloodinfo.com/programs/flooding-and-flood-risk/vc-flood-history). The “river bottom” was the only wild place in Ventura, and I recall reading as a teenager that Ventura’s last Indian lived in the river bottom and died around 1900.
Writing about the racism (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#racism), sexism (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#sexism), and other biases at Wikipedia was not just an academic exercise for me, but something that I was intimately familiar with. It was not until I moved away from home, to Cal Poly, and one of my roommates began calling me on it, that I began to understand how racist and bigoted my upbringing was. By graduation, I had largely put it behind me, but it is still like the air I breathe today, in our society.
I remember an incident from my LA days (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), in which I did not even hear the word “nigger” for a year, until the first ten minutes after entering my childhood home on a visit. I shed it, but my special needs brother actually joined the Ku Klux Klan when he was in the army in North Carolina. Sometime in the 1980s, as I recall, Ventura made the national news after a black family moved into one of Ventura’s lily white neighborhoods, and I would not be surprised if it was the housing development that I grew up in. A black family moved in, and their neighbor immediately named his dog “Nigger,” and stood in his front yard, yelling at his dog: “Sit ******, Roll over ******, Play Dead, ******, Good ******.” The black family sued, and the judge ruled that the man could not name his dog ******. It may have been the only time that I saw justice prevail in Ventura’s legal system (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr). :)
That racism and bigotry was the most shameful part of my upbringing, and something that I will always live with. In the Fifth Epoch, not only will there not be any racism, but race will disappear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), too.
I have written that awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) is a process, and I don’t mean the postmodernist (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2431&viewfull=1#post2431) “wokeness” of identity politics that we see today. With me, it began with alternative medicine at age 12 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), when my family went “health nut,” to save my father’s health. My cultural (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2495&viewfull=1#post2495) and mystical (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) awakenings happened at age 16, when I also got my energy dreams (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), but I still read the newspaper each day, thinking that I was getting the “news.” In my LA days, I subscribed to Christian Science Monitor (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), thinking that I was getting something a little more thoughtful than the LA Times. Boy, did I have a lot to learn! :)
It was only after my radicalizing days with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) that I began to understand the deep historical roots of American racism and bigotry, beginning with the genocide of the natives, which lasted from 1492 (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide) to 1890 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wounded), and really, well into the 20th century.
It was not until reading work such as Noam and Ed’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) that I began to understand the deeply racist nature of our genocide in Indochina, while I was growing up, with its “Mere Gook Rule (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#gooks)” and other aspects. Today, it is repeated genocides (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) of “towel-heads,” as we make the Middle East and vicinity safe for American oil companies (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). The USA’s continuing domestic racism and bigotry pale to insignificance when compared to our imperial behaviors, as we outdo Hitler at times (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#newsweek), and my great nation was his inspiration (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hitler), even though American race laws were even too extreme for Nazi Germany, so they watered down American race laws when creating their own.
Until my nation ceases those evil practices, I will likely keep writing about them.

Wade

Hi:
As a coda to the previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2508&viewfull=1#post2508), and an amusing anecdote and sign of the times, over the summer of 1979, we got our Cal Poly dorm assignments, and my roommate was named Robert, who lives nearby today. When I got my dorm assignment, my father said, “Robert, huh? That sounds just like what black people name their children today. You may have a black roommate.” He thought it was real funny. Sometime afterward, I think after we graduated, I told Robert what my father said, and he said that when he got his dorm assignment, his father said, “Wade, huh? That sounds just like what black people name their children today. You may have a black roommate.” Our fathers were typical in those days.

Hi:
As an addendum to the previous post, I actually had a black roommate, when Dennis was in jail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail). He had a brother in prison, and there was nothing that I could tell him about what was happening to us that could surprise him. Blacks, Latinos, Indians, and the like have no illusions about how the USA’s “justice” system works. Our experience is only shocking and denied by white middle-class America, without any experience of watching the legal system in action, especially if they are targeted by it.
The owner of the medical lab that I worked at (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience) was black, and one of the richest blacks in the USA, with a net worth of about $200M. If he had been white, I wonder if the government and media would have come after us like they did.

Hi:
I was going to do a long quote, but I’ll just summarize it. I am referring to a recent book I read on vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484). It was triggered by reading a Scientific American special issue on divining truth from lies. As I have written, Scientific American changed its business model a couple of years ago, has gotten directly into bed with Big Pharma, and in almost every issue these days, people who challenge vaccination are put in the same camp with Flat Earthers and those who think that the Moon landings were faked. Earth is spherical, and we really landed men on the Moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo) over 50 years ago. :)
In a chapter where the author compared true immunity versus what vaccination confers, the author described what happens with infectious diseases and how the body reacts (acutely, with fever, rashes, and the like, repels the disease and learns how to not get it again). With vaccination, the acute reaction is largely traded for a chronic one, which never goes away (and what is injected seems to never get expelled) and actually impairs the immune system to the extent that the immune system begins attacking the body (autoimmune diseases), and there is evidence that those chronic conditions lead to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, a host of neurological disorders, including autism, and the like.
The author really gets on the case of vaccination for childhood diseases that were mild diseases when the vaccines were introduced (especially measles, mumps, and chickenpox), and vaccination robs the children of an experience that trains their immune systems for lifelong health. People from my generation, who did not get those vaccines, but had the childhood diseases, for those of us not obese, generally don’t have chronic conditions, but they are rampant with the heavily vaccinated younger generation.
Vaccination is a disaster for those mild childhood diseases, and there is no good evidence that vaccination vanquished any disease. But Big Pharma has a huge, lucrative racket at stake, as their interventions create patients for life, and Scientific American is part of the propaganda barrage on this issue.
In a way, it is little different from the tobacco companies that ran ads (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#tobacco) in the Journal of the American Medical Association for a generation. It is Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday) on steroids.

Hi:
As a follow-on to the previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2511&viewfull=1#post2511), when I wrote that an acute reaction is “traded” for a chronic one, that does not mean that the vaccinated don’t get the acute condition. They often do, and then the acute reaction can be worse and even debilitating. That is why they keep selling “boosters,” as the “immunity” effect wears off, so they have to keep vaccinating. It is largely all a big scam. In what is called “herd immunity,” if 80% of the population is really immune, then epidemic outbreaks supposedly can’t occur, but there are frequently measles outbreaks, for instance, in populations that are 95%-and-more vaccinated.
What was kind of mind-boggling in the Scientific American issue that I am reading is that people who even question vaccination safety are equated with Flat-Earthers, when there is a mountain of data on the harm that vaccinations cause, from crib death to those chronic conditions, brain damage, and so on. There has even been a court set up that has paid out billions of dollars in damages for vaccine harm, and the court itself is a kind of kangaroo court that rarely pays out for anything short of death or complete crippling that cannot be denied was vaccine-related. And a lot of the science around vaccinations, if it really even exists, is in closely guarded trade secrets by Big Pharma. It is like the snake-oil days of proprietary medicine (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#proprietary).
The vaccine makers even admit vaccine harm by their fraudulent testing protocols. The standard for testing is supposed to be the treatment versus a harmless placebo, such as a saline injection in the case of vaccines. The vaccine industry has incredibly abandoned that gold standard of testing (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#respond), and instead measures adverse reactions (and fraudulently measures them, to boot) against adverse reactions of other vaccines, and if the adverse reactions are similar, then it is called “safe.” And this state of affairs exists today, but just try to engage the medical authorities on the issue. The fraud is in broad daylight, and treated as if it is normal. “Nothing to see here, line up for your vaccines.”

Hi:
We’ll see what happens with the fluoride trial (https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/10/03/fluoridation-on-trial.aspx). I am not holding my breath, but maybe my fluoride essay will be another issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/109-The-Medical-Racket?p=2097&viewfull=1#post2097) in which my work (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm) was just a little ahead of its time.

Hi:
I don’t do this often, but I watched that JFK, Jr., interview (https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/10/03/fluoridation-on-trial.aspx) with the attorney who waged that fluoridation lawsuit. Wow. Well, my fluoridation essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm) is kind of an outline for the trial. What was particularly interesting was that the brain toxicity study that was cited by the EPA was by Phyllis Mullenix (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#mullenix), and I didn’t see it in the interview, but her employer tried to block the publication of her study on fluoride and brain damage in rats, and her career was ruined because she published it.
Dare I hope that there will be a ruling that ends compulsory fluoridation? I am not sure if I am brave enough to. :)

Hi:
Although my life’s unhappiest years were in LA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), I had some compensation. One of my best friends in LA was a rich Swiss kid. We met through the Silva class (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva). The LA Silva instructor is one of my best friends to this day (he stopped teaching it more than 30 years ago, as it went downhill into the shadow of itself that it is today). Back then, I was quite into spirituality groups, my Silva instructor pal introduced me to the Seth channel in LA (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#meetseth), and we had meditation groups and the like. We had a spoon-bending session once, about 30 of us, and a little old lady was the only one to have hers bend (she didn’t force it, and it did a 90-degree bend). That was when Shirley MacLaine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_MacLaine#Personal_life) came to prominence in her explorations, and the term New Age (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age) came into vogue. When the term “channeling” began getting used, I did not like it, but learned to live with it. For every contender, there were a thousand pretenders (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage). Cults of one sort or another abounded, the male “leaders” built their New Age harems (http://ahealedplanet.net/opinions.htm#mystical) and the like. It was all kind of sordid, and when a pal worked in porn (the roommate of that Silva instructor), to make ends meet before his big break (which never came), it made a kind of horrible sense in LA.
The whole issue of spirituality in LA was rather bizarre, with the Hollywood spin to it. I attended a channeling session with an A-list actress and the like. My Swiss friend was supposed to inherit the family steel empire, but kind of ran away, moved to LA (without speaking any English), and enrolled at USC film school (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USC_School_of_Cinematic_Arts). He was the lost son for years, but his family eventually poured millions of dollars into his efforts, and he eventually became Switzerland’s most famous filmmaker for a time (which admittedly is not saying much :) ). He helped edit my big essay, which will “haunt” him for the rest of his life, and on my Bucket List is visiting him on his estate in New England. I don’t have much left on my list, but seeing him again is on it.
When we hung out, he educated me on Hollywood moviemaking. What a jungle. He wanted to make children’s movies, but had to hang out with Hollywood stars and movers and shakers, and he did not like them. He was a Mozart fanboy (who was deeply offended by Amadeus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadeus_(film))) who had a harpsichord in his living room that he played for me, and his idol was Trevor Pinnock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Pinnock), who was the world’s foremost harpsichordist. My friend’s harpsichord was about the only one in LA, and he would lend out his harpsichord for recitals.
I am attaching the flyer for a recital that we attended, by the world’s foremost organist at the time, who did one of the inaugural recitals on an organ that was installed in LA (https://pipeorgandatabase.org/organ/7348). The setting was kind of ridiculous. The organ cost $14M, which was a huge sum back then, and dominated the church where it was installed. Afterward, I saw the minister groveling for patronage with my friend. Only in LA could a small church raise $14M for an out-of-place organ. As you can read here (https://saintmarksaltadena.org/About%20Us/history.html), that organ scheme practically bankrupted the church.
We once went to a psychic who lived out in the desert outside LA, and we each had our readings. She came highly recommended, and I got one of my many psychic and channeled readings that I have had over the years. Many of them could be considered New Age hucksterism, as they predicted big things in my future, but they largely came true, in life-wrecking fashion, in ways that I would have never believed, and still find hard to believe today. Be careful what you wish for, is all I can say. :) Some of what they predicted seems to be in my future, as what I am attempting (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) might bear fruit. I detached from the outcome long ago, and we’ll see where this takes me.
I am also attaching an article from my mother’s final retirement party, when she became too demented to work any longer, just a few years before she passed. I also included her business card from her days of working for the local paper. Her employment there led to our estrangement when we had our Ventura ordeal (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), as she believed her employer’s every libelous word about us (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072), never even asked for my side of the story, and eventually made a scrapbook (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492) of the newspaper clippings, taking it around to my friends, family, and investors, telling the story of her son the criminal. Believe it or not, she actually acted the best out of my immediate family members, as the others attacked me worse. I have no contact with my immediate family today and never will again, as just one of the many prices of my journey. When I caution enthusiastic newbies from rushing out and proselytizing to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), I speak from harrowing experience, but almost nobody listens and needs to find out the hard way. Sociality (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/96-Human-sociality-and-free-energy?p=925&viewfull=1#post925) is not going to get us there, but combined positive intention (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) might have a chance at it, which is what I am trying to find out. I will have to roll my own, as the group I have in mind does not exist on Earth and never has.
Just before I moved to LA, I lived with her when she married Fred (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1408&viewfull=1#post1408), we all lived together for several months, I got to hear plenty about Vegas and Hollywood from Fred, and one of his washed-out Hollywood actor pals slept on our couch for weeks. Fred played big band music every day, I grew to like it, and have my Sinatra playlist in my music collection.

Hi:
I really can’t overemphasize what an unhealthy place LA was when I lived there, in many ways. The air pollution was truly awesome, but all that the Midwest and East Coast transplants cared about was that it was warm and sunny in January, even in the middle of a smog alert.
From my first audition at 10 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2489&viewfull=1#post2489), through my acting in high school (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2496&viewfull=1#post2496), through my days in LA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), both stints, oh, the many shortened and ruined lives that I saw, as people sought fame, riches, and power. Also, however, as an Artisan soul (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), I can also appreciate the artistic need to be creative, but people trying to make a living by being artistic in LA, whether it was music, acting, writing, directing, producing, and the like, operated in a jungle of debauchery and huge egos careening about. The casting couch stories are all too true. I really could go on for days on the many casualties I saw, and even those who “made it,” such as John Belushi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Belushi#Death) and River Phoenix (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Phoenix#Death), came to grim ends in their shortened lives. I encountered many lower-level stories like that, and out of Vegas, too.
When I lived with my mother and Fred (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2515&viewfull=1#post2515), two doors away lived the family of a pal, who was about to begin his career in LA, too. We were going to become roommates, but that fell through in terrible fashion that I won’t get into anytime soon. He had a younger brother, they formed a punk band, and were pals with Ray Manzarek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Manzarek), who produced punk bands back then. They were truly crazy, punkers who had degrees from Berkeley. A few years after we fell out, the younger brother married a fellow party gal, and she accidentally shot him to death in a quasi-Russian roulette game that they played. She partied away the life insurance money in a haze of drugs and debauchery as fast as she could.
That pal who was a porn movie producer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2515&viewfull=1#post2515), while he waited for his big break that never came, made movies in which the star was an 18-year-old, angelic-looking drug addict. LA is full of people who moved there to make it big, to end up waiting tables, working in porn, and the like. I could tell many, many sad tales. Billy Joel became drug addicted (a friend witnessed that) and had to leave LA, to save his life.
And that was all long before I met Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), and his sordid tales made what I witnessed and heard pale to insignificance. That Marilyn Monroe (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#monroe) was used as the world’s highest-class hooker, to bed the sitting president, in a White House influence peddling and extortion scheme, was no great surprise, by the time I encountered it, when Dennis was in solitary confinement (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#solitary).
I never want to see Southern California again, especially LA and Ventura. When that voice in my head suggested that I move to Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), I was leaving LA only a few days later, nearly giving it the finger as I left. If you had told me what the next few years had in store, and that I would work in LA again (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience), it would have felt like some malicious god had sentenced me to hell. I can still hardly believe what that voice led me into.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As I leave LA behind, it was not all horror stories. Some could be funny and heartwarming, and I’ll give a few anecdotes regarding my Swiss friend’s attempts to break into filmmaking. He is a bright one, and I once read an essay he wrote on the thematic differences between the different kinds of stories that movies can tell, from cowboy movies to love stories. He considered love stories to be the peak of the storytelling art.
In a way, hearing about his Hollywood travails prepared me somewhat for my ride with Dennis. He came at it much differently from how other pals did, who were starving and trying to get their break. Scams, criminality, and bad behaviors were typical. He once was approached for a movie deal that he would finance, and the supplicant provided glowing documentary references and the like. But one day, my pal noticed something a little odd about one of the documents, began doing some digging, and soon discovered that the documents were all forged, and his moral to the story was to beware of the “slime factor” in Hollywood.
One of his pals was a fellow struggling producer, and he made the sleeper hit Flashdance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashdance). It was one of those jackpot movies that came from Hollywood’s fringes, which almost never happens, and it was that producer’s first big break. You can see that the movie had two producers, and I can’t remember which one it was, or if my Swiss friend even told me his name, but as Flashdance cleaned up at the box office, that producer didn’t hear anything from the studio, on the big payday that he was going to be entitled to. When he didn’t hear anything, he figured that he was going to get stiffed, but that with his reputation now made, that he would cash in on future efforts. He literally decided that that was how it was going to go. Several months later, a letter came in the mail, from the studio. It came from the accounting department, with the terms of the Flashdance deal and the calculation of his payout, which was about $7 million, as I recall, with the check enclosed. No phone call or fanfare, no advanced notice, just a check in the mail out of the blue. He went out and bought a high-end sports car, for about $250K, as I recall, as his symbol of finally making it in Hollywood. I think he called it his Flashdance car or something similar.
That was the very unusual Hollywood tale. More common was the fate of a project that my friend worked on for years. Willie Nelson was at the height of his fame (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Nelson#Outlaw_country_and_success_(1972%E2%80%931989)) in the early 1980s. He had quite the entourage, and they called him “Buddha.” My friend began developing a movie that would be a vehicle for Nelson, some kind of buddy movie, as I recall. When they were in the middle of developing it, and it is very expensive to do, hiring screenwriters and the like, somebody came out with a movie that was just like my friend’s project, as somebody had stolen an early version of the script and rushed out a poorly done version of the movie, which then killed any chance that my friend had of making his movie.
He once asked me how to signify a nerd in a movie without the cliché glasses. Heck, I should have just thought of some of my behaviors. :) That was one of my chances to contribute to Hollywood, and I whiffed. :)
My Swiss friend was one of many in my circle who were trying to break into Hollywood. About half of my LA friends were in entertainment, used to be, or were trying to break into it, and I heard so many stories over the years. One guy was a junior TV producer, and one day, he told me a joke. He said that a writer and producer were lost in the desert, dying of thirst, when they happened upon a tiny waterhole. As the writer collapsed to his knees and prepared to get a lifesaving drink, the producer proceeded to prepare to urinate into the waterhole. “What the hell are you doing?!,” croaked the writer, and the producer replied, “I am going to improve on it.” Let’s just say that there were plenty of rivalries in Hollywood. :)
Best,
Wade

Hi:
My years with Dennis are pretty well documented, in Dennis’s books, at minimum, I put a lot of the documentation on my site (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm), 5 (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm)), I have made long threads (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=197&viewfull=1#post197)), to go into a lot of detail, lessons learned, cover the cast of characters (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042), and the like, so there is no need to revisit much of that territory now, but I have a few more documents to present, attached.
I wrote about Jerry Hipple a little, here (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=685&viewfull=1#post685), and he was one of the good guys on my journey. Jerry died last year (https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/venturacountystar/obituary.aspx?pid=194391099). He was a friend of Mr. Professor’s, and as soon as we hit Ventura, he came by the office all the time, and became kind of a nuisance. Jerry had a horticultural business, and had a need for our heating system for his greenhouse. After about his tenth visit, Dennis said to either buy something or go away. Jerry bought a system, we sold it to him cheaply, around $4-5K, he and his son installed it themselves, and they immediately began saving $400-500 a month with it, so it was going to pay for itself in a year. Name anything else that a consumer can buy that can do that, put $5-6K a year back into their pockets that they would have otherwise paid their energy supplier for. It is still the best heating system in world history (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new).
In the attached image, I present Jerry’s business card, with my notation on it, as he called for a demo after we had only been there for a week or so, and still getting set up. The next card is from a guy named Norm, from Minnesota. He might have installed this system (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm). Were we ever flying high in December 1987. I was on the Dennis Rocket for the first time, and what an experience that was, going from a few volunteers to 40 employees in about two months.
When Dennis had his show on January 12, 1988, with Mr. Deputy in the audience (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), Norm also attended, and Dennis might have flown him out. I watched a video that Norm made, of his visits to customers in Minnesota, including one of the most famous homeowner customers, who lived in Hibbing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibbing,_Minnesota), which is considered about the coldest part of Minnesota, which means about the coldest part of the Continental USA. I have attached part of Norm’s card. After that show, Dennis put on a feast at a restaurant across the street from the County Center, which included the county jail. Dennis only lived a few blocks away. When we began flying high, I asked Dennis if I could have enough salary to pay for my own room. Dennis and I are closer than family in ways, and I am Uncle Wade to his daughters, but after living with him and his family for nearly a year, it was time to move out, and I walked right into my future wife’s home (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#wife), in another event that showed the heavy hand of my friends at work.
I also attached my college diploma, and another memento, of the card I was given by a sheriff’s deputy on the day of the raid (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#raid). It was like getting Satan’s business card.
One last card on that attachment is Dennis’s from the 1990s in New Jersey. It was a business card of Better World Technologies, which was a name inspired by the name I gave to my investment group (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=617&viewfull=1#post617), when I became Dennis’s partner.

Hi:
So, what the heck am I doing with these autobiographical posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482)? Primarily, I am attempting to overcome the limitations of this medium and becoming as real as I can to the people I seek. I can’t host everybody at my home, so they can get to know me better and begin to comprehend the reality that I encountered on my adventures. There is a great deal that I am not at liberty to disclose, but maybe one day.
The reason why I became Brian’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), Ed’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), and kind of Gary’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398) biographers (as well as helped Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm)) is that, in their own ways, they tried to make a dent, almost nobody on Earth even tries to, but they just shuffle through their lives, seeking survival through their in-group status (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), and the temporary satiation of their addictions. Those people listed above are in my pantheon, and it is not a large one (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042). It is people like that who will get humanity over the hump (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
Humanity suffers from great integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), and reality-perception (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm) deficits today, and it is bizarre. I am bombarded with conspiracist disinformation these days, much of it at the tabloid level, libelers in the free energy field (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480) are promoted, and the general populace is largely oblivious to all of it, thinking that retail politics matters at all. Most Americans don’t even care about that, as they just focus on getting through the day, and know that the political-economic system just treats them as expendable fodder for the machine. People hack at branches, if they hack at all. Ed’s work was vital, as was Ralph’s, as is Noam’s, but they only illuminate facets of the issues, and far from the most important ones. Humanity is going to swim or sink on the energy issue, and everything else is noise.
Numerous catastrophes loom (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and they are all primarily energy issues. I know that the technologies to end it all and usher in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) are older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but for people like me and my relatively few fellow travelers, we wander a world of ignorance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0), denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), and indifference, if we aren’t being wiped out by the agents of organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1).
I attached some business cards from my days after my first stint with Dennis. That first is from the medical lab that I worked for (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience), which I started working for when Dennis was in jail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), and it was almost immediately attacked by a government-media alliance, the owner quickly sold out to a Fortune 500 conglomerate, and the facility where I worked is still operating under that conglomerate, the last I looked a few years ago. How bizarre is that, to go from one attacked company to another? It was my “friends” at work, once more.
The next card is from my days as a trucking company controller (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=272&viewfull=1#post272), after I staggered out of my home town, to never return. The last one is at the software company that I worked at for ten years, and took a “sabbatical” to write my big essay, which I was fired in the midst of. Business cards are dying out, and I never got one for the company where I have worked since early 2015, and likely won’t.
So, if I add up those IDs and business cards that I have recently presented, the tenures go like this:
The TowneHouse (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2506&viewfull=1#post2506): 3.25 years, from September 1975 to September 1978, and the summer of 1980.
Farley’s: about 11 months, from January to December 1981;
Tremper, Slater and Company, a little over 3 months, from February to May 1982.
Peat Marwick: 3.2 years, from January 1983 to the end of February 1986.
Of course, my stints with Dennis, and I think that I was a Better World Technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life/page2?p=2518&viewfull=1#post2518) employee in New Jersey. From when I met Dennis until I busted him out of jail was three years, from March 1986 to April 1989, and my misadventure in New Jersey lasted from November 1996 to April 1997, which totals about 3.5 years.
That medical lab was 1.5 years, from December 1988 to June 1990.
That trucking company job was from August 1991 to September 1996, for a little over five years.
That software company was from July 2003 to December 2013, for 10 years, but the last eight months was my “sabbatical” that I did not return from.
And I worked as a temp or consultant for several years, around five years in all. I also spent a year as a janitor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#janitor), before leaving home for Cal Poly. Of the 45 years since September 1975, the above accounts for about 39 of them. Remove the first year at Cal Poly (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2501&viewfull=1#post2501), when I did not work, and that leaves about five years, which were the years of writing and study to produce my web site as it stands today. There were also overlaps, so it isn’t as tidy as that. For about 1.5 years of my consulting years, I only worked maybe 15 hours a week, and worked on my site in the meantime (2001-2002). I spent about six years of pretty much full-time work, doing the study and writing for my site, and the “spare time” study and writings time since 1990 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) surely equals a few more years of labor. My site, including forum work, accounts for about 10 man-years of work, give or take a year. That accounts for my life’s years. If I am lucky, I’ll have another 30 good years ahead of me, like Ed did, and Noam is still going strong, and he’ll be 92 in a couple of months. I hope to work until at least 70, and we will see how it goes.
That, in a nutshell, has been my life. There are more documents to produce, but I am nearing the end of this process of posting up autobiographical documents.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Of course, that summary that I just made (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life/page2?p=2519&viewfull=1#post2519), of how I spent the years of my life, is really a bare outline. Working for a living certainly took up the lion’s share of my waking hours after my college days, at least, in the years that I worked. I worked 60-hour weeks for years on end, especially at the trucking and software companies. My days in public accounting (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) were brutal, in several ways, and my days with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601) could be a waking nightmare.
It has slowed down since I moved back home to Seattle in 1997, as I have “only” lived in four homes during this stint, but since I left home in 1979, I have had about 20 residences, living with relatives, many roommates, and the like. I have taken in family members and supported them, as I played the family hero. I have had plenty of compensation, with friendships that I will take to my grave, even though my journey also wrecked many friendships. Just knowing Dennis, Mr. Professor, and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) has been among my life’s greatest privileges, and carrying Ed’s spears (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) is one of my life’s greatest honors. I have been married for more than 30 years, and that, more than anything else, has been my life’s delight. If not for that, I would likely be some kind of roadkill today.
I was introduced to hiking by Uncle George when I was 15 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page10?p=1146&viewfull=1#post1146), and that “addiction” has been a most welcome one. Either through unemployment, between chapters of the journey, or planned time off, I had these summers relatively free for hiking: 1986, 88, 90, 97, 98, 99, 2001, 2002, 2013, 2014, and 2015. Not bad. :) Of course, with living here, I have gotten my fair share every year for the past 20. Several years ago, I realized that I have had my fair share for this lifetime, and I have been in “gravy” mode ever since, as I turn into a fat old man.
Long ago, I lived with a CIA contract agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), who nearly tried to recruit me into the business. I buried Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), whose life was wrecked and shortened because I involved him in my adventures, and that will haunt me to my grave. Going bankrupt (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bankrupt) was the easy part of 1988, the year of my radicalization (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and I soon had to give up the ideas of having a family, owning my home, and the like. I have had other financial disasters, and we’ll see if I ever own my home. I lost all of my immediate family relationships, as one of the many prices of my journey, and had my tragic friendship with Brent (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page21?p=2087&viewfull=1#post2087), for something else that will always haunt me.
I have had many compensations on the journey, and I am trying to take full advantage of what I have been given in this lifetime, as a member of history’s most privileged demographic group: white male American professional baby boomer, in what might be my smartest lifetime (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2497&viewfull=1#post2497), when this thing called the Internet came to be, which gives me a global reach that I could have scarcely imagined when I was young. I am trying to get all of the juice out of the orange of my lifetime.
Oh, and last but not least, I have been on some kind of special assignment, with a preposterous voice in my head guiding key life decisions (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3). There is nothing easy about being on special assignment, but I also get a chance to help manifest the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) and avert global catastrophe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). All in all, I can’t complain, or at least not much. :)
I have a few more documents to add to the pile, before I finish this thread for now.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I just went through the remaining documents that I piled up for this exercise, and the next post will finish them. One evening, when I was in fifth grade, there was a parent-teacher event at Serra Elementary, just down the street from our house. My brother and I played on the kindergarten monkey bars while my parents ate in the cafeteria and chatted with the teachers. That cafeteria is where I won the spelling bee (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2489&viewfull=1#post2489) the year before. While playing on the monkey bars, I fell and literally landed on my teeth on one of the bars, and I’ll never forget the sight of chunks of my teeth spraying forth from my mouth. My parents took me to our dentist, who filed off the rough edges and said that maybe in my 30s, I would have my teeth fixed.
Also, I ate the normal American diet until age 12, when my family went health nut (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), and I had the typical tooth crowding that attends the Western diet (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#price). I attached the last clear picture that I have of myself before I broke my teeth, when I was in third grade. I also attached a picture of my Cal Poly days, in front of my apartment, and Chris’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page23?p=2139&viewfull=1#post2139) pickup truck is one of those behind me. I rarely smiled like that. You can see my chipped and crowded teeth. Attached is a picture that my future wife took of me, one morning, in our back yard, before going to work at the medical lab (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience). Smiling was just not what I did, but if you had asked me if it was because of my wrecked teeth (although no cavities), I would have denied it. I did not think of it that way.
Well, in my 30s, when I got that trucking controller gig (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=272&viewfull=1#post272), I did get my teeth fixed, just as my dentist prophesized. I first got braces (after they removed two bicuspids), and then I got the incisors fixed. After that, I became a great smiler, and it was only years later that I began to suspect that it was unconscious. I really had a hard time smiling for the camera before I got my teeth fixed, and afterward, it became easy.
The last image is from my passport picture, taken when I was 38, in 1996 in New Jersey. I had not updated my passport since I went to Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2495&viewfull=1#post2495), and I updated it because Dennis wanted to send me to London, to finalize a deal to get boatloads of money. Dennis was still on parole, and couldn’t go. We’ll, if I had made the trip, I might not have come back, as it was likely all part of the sting operation (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting) that was being run against us.
The last picture attached to this post is from my Cal Poly dorm. All four of us who roomed together the next year are in it, as is my former girlfriend. That was taken more than 40 years ago. Where does a life go?
Best,
Wade

Hi:
For the last of the documents, for now, I am attaching Peter Moscow’s business card. Peter has passed on (https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/louisville/obituary.aspx?pid=149683649), but I heard him speak at the new science organization that I joined when we moved to Ohio, called the U.S. Psychotronic Association (https://www.psychotronics.org/) (USPA). I had a nice chat with him afterward, sent him a little money, and got his card in the midst of that. Peter was eventually the USPA president.
The local chapter meetings were held in Yellow Springs, which was my wife’s favorite place in Ohio, with a liberal arts college (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antioch_College), a nature preserve (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Helen_Nature_Preserve) that we often hiked at, her favorite restaurant, and students wearing tie-dye shirts abounded, playing music in the woods (we saw a violinist and flautist on our hikes there). It was like a little piece of 1960s California plopped into the middle of Ohio, and it was only a few miles from the world’s largest air force base (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright-Patterson_Air_Force_Base). The contrast was jarring. Within a half hour after meeting Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), we were driving past the air force base’s front gates, joking about the aliens there. Some air force personnel joined that USPA chapter, and the word was that they were all under surveillance.
Bob Beutlich (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/112349088/robert-eugene-beutlich) was USPA’s president for many years, and it looks like his son is the treasurer. Peter said that Bob heard rumors that the USPA was under surveillance, which he considered a wild conspiratorial yarn with no credibility, until one day when he picked up his phone at home to make a call, and heard his voice from a conversation the previous day. The same thing happened to us in Ventura, and my understanding is that it was a cheap way to do wiretaps back then, as they would record the call and later transfer it to the central recorder over the phone line. Pretty bizarre, but it happened to us and Bob. Peter was very frank about the medical racket, and how alternative therapy doctors were terrified of witch hunts, and even orthodox doctors who didn’t always toe the line. My medical lab experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience) was a couple of years earlier, I was studying the racket quite a bit in those days, and Peter’s information was more of the same.
That would be a long story on the USPA, and I met fellow free energy travelers there. It was not many years later when my pal got the underground technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). The other speaker that I drove around was Beverly Rubik (https://www.brubik.com/), who was also the USPA president at one time, and she is still involved. At that conference where I met Brian, I also discovered why Bill the BPA Hit Man had arrived to wreck Dennis’s talk (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#global), for the first time he was allowed to leave Ventura in over a year.
In Dayton, I wrote my first public writings, attached. What I wrote is here (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jesus), and you can see that on the same page was Hughie Sprinkle’s advice: nuke Iraq. He was not the only person advocating it. Cal Thomas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cal_Thomas), with a nationally syndicated column, also advocated nuking Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#thomas), in the midst of our “turkey shoot.”
When I moved to Seattle several years later, as we began bombing Iraq again, I wrote again (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#st1), and you can see that Mary Kay Letourneau (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kay_Letourneau) is also featured on that page. I won’t get on my soapbox today on the issue, as I have written plenty on it before, but the consequences of sex are radically different for men and women, and she certainly didn’t commit a crime that merited prison. I consider it a sign of our crazy times. A woman cannot “rape” a 13-year-old boy. To use “rape” to describe it really cheapens the term.
A few months later, I wrote again (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sunny), and was published again, in a letter in which I kind of predicted 9/11. Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm) was amazed that I was able to get something like that published. He said that there was no way that something like that could run in the East Coast papers such as Washington Post or the New York Times.
The next year, the night before the legendary WTO conference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Organization_Ministerial_Conference_of_1999) began, I marched for Jubilee 2000 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_2000), which was intended to support debt forgiveness for Third World nations. I have attached our instructions for marching that night. I marched with priests and nuns. I went with a close friend, who knew everybody, and while we were waiting for the march to start, my friend introduced me to his pal, the former governor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Lowry), who barely beat out that gangster Attorney General (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Eikenberry) who helped wipe out our Seattle company (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam). It wasn’t the place for it, but I should have thanked him. :)
After 9/11 (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11), I was in a bunch of marches, trying to help forestall the imperial rampages (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc) that we were about to embark on, which was, of course, all futile. Those were agonizing times for me, and helped my midlife crisis turn into the monster it was (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife).
That is it for the documents for now, but I have a little more to write on this subject.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Before I finish off my life documentation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482) thread for now, I was just reading about the early life of Eddie Van Halen (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/eddie-van-halen-endured-horrifying-racist-environment-becoming-rock-legend-n1242663), the guitar legend who died this week. Eddie was only three years older than me, and grew up an hour away in Pasadena. When I have written about the racist and bigoted environment that I grew up in (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2508&viewfull=1#post2508), it was far from confined to my household. In that article, you can read how Eddie’s family was kind of driven from the Netherlands because of his “half-breed” status, and he got it again when he moved to the USA, and Eddie was pretty white.
In the 1970s, there was a series of popular joke books, and they included black, Jewish, Polish, etc., etc., joke books, I think by this guy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Wilde), and this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33322454-101-funny-******-jokes) is a recent publication. But I didn’t need them. I heard most of this list (https://tightroperecords.com/jokes.htm) while growing up, or variations of them. They came from all corners, and even my Jewish and Mexican-American friends told some of them. That stuff was like the air you breathed.
Part of me is amazed that it happened in my lifetime, and that mentality is far from dead, but gets cloaked with more genteel and deceptive forms. We have so far to go.
Best,

Hi:
What I presented in these documentation posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482) was partly intended to support my thread on that libelous essay about Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), which gets promoted to this day. I intended to make it very clear how intimate I was with the real numbers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2491&viewfull=1#post2491), and this thread presented how qualified I am to write about numbers, particularly the financial numbers around Dennis’s adventures.
And, as usual, I am far closer to some of the libel promotion than I can publicly disclose right now, but just let me state that people promoting that libel should know better. You can’t credibly parse out the criminal acts from the “clever” parts of that essay. There are far better renditions of, as Brian called it, The Suppression Syndrome (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Brian_O'Leary#Miracle_in_the_Void,_1996), than that essay. That people think that they can do that reflects their inexperience, naïveté, and lack of understanding of the integrity issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=1280&viewfull=1#post1280). My fellow travelers and I all began our journeys naïvely (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), and we lost it honestly, but that can be a fatal affliction in this field. Brian’s life was shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) when he snooped into the UFO issue, by the same people who tried to co-opt Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch/page2?p=2470&viewfull=1#post2470).
When Mr. Libeler (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2499&viewfull=1#post2499) committed a criminal act like that, for all to see, it provided a window into his soul. Criminals are not fit to help manifest the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). It is a job fit only for saints, as the perils and temptations are so great (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), and not many of them walk on Earth today. Dennis did not really understand the Epochal nature of this task, and his belief in human integrity levels were naïve and unjustified, which was a case of psychological projection, which everybody does, to one degree or another, and the Boy Scouts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) can walk right into it. Dennis should not have survived what happened (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), I saw many wrecked lives, and some were shortened (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey)).
Sterling’s defense of Mr. Skeptic (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1550&viewfull=1#post1550), while simultaneously attacking Brian, was one of the best examples of how the free energy field is hopeless these days, in its arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), with a stunning lack of discernment among its members. You can also see Sterling named in Greer’s dead man’s switch document (https://exopolitics.blogs.com/files/steve.greer.dead.mans.trigger.pdf), helping to lead Greer down the path, as Greer naively chased after inventors. If you are looking for people with the right stuff in the free energy field, walking the straight-and-narrow path, and worldly enough to avoid the yawning and potentially fatal pitfalls (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls), good luck with that. That is partly why Brian said (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#new) that the people in the field today will not be the ones to make it happen. Dennis and Brian were always the best that I saw, and I still have not seen anybody who approached what they brought to the table, but I also don’t pay that much attention to the field, either, as I have seen nobody go about it in a way that I think can make a dent.
In this thread of documenting my journey, what I didn’t present were my tens of thousands of emails that I have received over the past generation. I just looked, and my emails in the 1990s, before I got Outlook in early 2000, are not in my Outlook folder, but I have all emails since then, and I have received more than 40,000 (and sent more than 30,000). I have all of my emails with Brian, and a lot of Ralph’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm) (our relationship began around 1997). I just looked through my Outlook contacts, several are dead, and that category will only grow.
I was raised around some of the most brilliant minds on Earth, such as rocket scientists (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653)) and world-class inventors, who even the rocket scientists marveled at (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). Brian was way down that scale, to give you an idea of what I mean. But, I found that heart outranked the head (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), by a long ways, and, in fact, everything else paled next to it. Thinking that criminals will help crack the free energy nut is the height of folly.
A person’s caring heart has always been the first quality that I sought, and my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) was about that issue. And nearly universally, people deny that reality or its importance, which reflects their deficiencies in that department, inexperience and naïveté, a lack of discernment or even their own personal integrity, or all of the above.
But I also realized that the people I sought also needed some discernment and ability to think for themselves, at a somewhat sophisticated level. I never found a rocket scientist that had what I sought. Von Braun and crew set the Nazi precedent (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis?p=2170&viewfull=1#post2170) in rocket science, and the USA’s space efforts never really strayed that far from military applications (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#saic). Brian was about my ideal combination of heart and head: a Boy Scout nature and a scientist’s discrimination. Dennis is a genius and the greatest human I have ever known, but Indiana Jones-ing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jones) has its downsides, too, and I saw how Dennis’s journey sobered him up on the integrity issue: almost nobody really cares. Over a 30-year period, I watched Dennis go from “The people really care (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=618&viewfull=1#post618)” to “Almost nobody cares, but I am still searching (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings),” to “My allies hurt me more than my enemies did (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#allies),” to “I am ready for God to call me home, after this dark journey.”
So, after a lifetime of trial-and-error, I came to my current approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and it will work, if enough people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) can come together and do the work. I am still trying to make my material the best that I can, and my upcoming essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay), 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. And then it will be finding those needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), without putting my life at undue risk. I know what behaviors are just asking for it, and I’ll avoid the obvious ones, such as speaking at conferences (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conferences). Michael Hyson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/79-Introducing-Michael-Hyson?p=168&viewfull=1#post168) is the kind of person I seek, but he is also on the very high end of the intelligence scale, and a lot smarter than me.
I have been pretty explicit where I fall on the so-called “intelligence” scale, and I am not all that smart (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2497&viewfull=1#post2497). People do not need to be geniuses to become scientifically literate, and some scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) is needed for what I am doing, but not any more than is needed to understand my big essay, which is written at the popular science level. People do not need to be professional scientists to understand, and arguably the world’s leading popularizer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page6?p=738&viewfull=1#post738) on the scientific subjects I write about has raved about my work. I think that I can do a competent job of it. And, really, it is not the scientific literacy I seek as much as it is the mental horsepower that comes with becoming scientifically literate, and I have estimated that an IQ of 110 or so is adequate, which knocks down my potential talent pool from more than seven billion to “only” about two billion. :) Even if I can round up only one-in-a-million of them, that is about what I need to my plan to succeed. Really, I am not asking much from those I seek, not for the magnitude of the task.
I found that without the discrimination that comes with scientific literacy, people tend to get lost in the fringes, which includes the free energy milieu. I am bombarded with tabloid-level New Age/conspiracist fodder almost daily. Almost none of it is valid, and there is an entire gang of the usual suspects of New Age/conspiracist talking heads, which laps over into the free energy field, who have almost zero credibility with me, but have huge followings that hang on their every word, as they spew disinformation (there are tiny nuggets of truth in that steaming mess, which is how disinformation works – it needs some to make it plausible). It is a kind of grotesque and perverse cottage industry, and I can understand why the mainstream gives it all a wide berth, even if people can have superficial interest in it.
That said, there is valid stuff on the fringes, and I have explored them for many years. I have written about what I think is important, and what my confidence levels are (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/58-What-is-Most-and-Least-Important-in-My-Work-and-What-My-Confidence-Levels-Are?p=77&viewfull=1#post77). That list has not changed much (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/58-What-is-Most-and-Least-Important-in-My-Work-and-What-My-Confidence-Levels-Are?p=2181&viewfull=1#post2181), since I wrote it in 2014. There is not a public stance that I ever took that I have had to modify much, and what has come to light over the years keeps validating those positions (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/109-The-Medical-Racket?p=2163&viewfull=1#post2163). I have already lived to see the information in a banned book (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons) become the first line of defense (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#mayo) for the medical establishment that banned it, I lived to see a health practice that I began in my teenage years (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/109-The-Medical-Racket?p=2097&viewfull=1#post2097) go from ridiculed and attacked to the mainstream, and I never thought that I would live to see vegetarian diets become hip in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page3?p=2101&viewfull=1#post2101), and the subject of capitalist plays. Watching today’s fluoridation trial (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/109-The-Medical-Racket?p=2514&viewfull=1#post2514) play out is amazing to witness. I never thought that I would live to see an effort get that far along. So, I have some hope that my free energy work is only a little ahead of its time.
My work has always been based on my experiences, and my studies were largely extensions of them. On that list of what I consider important, you don’t see ETs. In both the hellish (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115) and heavenly (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) future Earths that Roads visited, they had ETs. Only materialists and religious fanatics will have their world rocked (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#brookings) by the ET presence, and I don’t seek materialists or religious fanatics. The ET issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2), in of itself, is really not that important; the technologies that they used to get here are, however. Brian thought that only “spiritualists (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Brian_O'Leary#The_Energy_Solution_Revolution,_2009)” had what it took to see the big picture without getting stuck somewhere along the way. He might have been right.
Virtually all free energy newcomers rush out to proselytize to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), try to crack the mass movement nut, and the like. They are trying to find quick and easy ways to the finish line, but there aren’t any. I was involved in five such efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) before I gave up on that approach, and it took me many years to articulate what was wrong with them for this Epochal task. They aim far too low (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/96-Human-sociality-and-free-energy?p=925&viewfull=1#post925), with some hero/messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1) leading the charge, and the like. By far, Dennis is the best candidate that I ever saw or heard of for that approach, Brian was the only other candidate that I saw, and I faithfully carried their spears. Carrying Dennis’s was the education of my life, but I only had one life to burn up, and it ruined my life. I was young and idealistic enough to survive and keep going, while many around me weren’t.
For the people I seek, I have chronicled Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574), Brian’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/150-The-Talents-Responsibilities-and-Limitations-of-Intellectuals?p=2368&viewfull=1#post2368), and now my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482), and the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) will recognize their journeys in ours. They can probably never know what it is like to be on that particular high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/129-Playing-on-the-High-Road?p=1584&viewfull=1#post1584), as few survive on it for long, but I believe that they can get close enough so that they can hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). I am not asking anybody to risk their lives like we did. Dennis should be dead dozens of times over and Brian’s life was shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch/page2?p=2470&viewfull=1#post2470), as was Mr. Professor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey). I don’t want to come near anything like that again. There are enough would-be heroes seeking followers, money, and the like out there, if people need to do that. I am doing something else entirely. If I outlive a few other key characters in my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042), I will be freed to disclose information that will make my journey far more spectacular than I have already revealed publicly. Even then, my life will seem like Walter Mitty’s life, compared to Dennis’s.
So, maybe two billion people have enough mental horsepower for what I have in mind. Only about a seventh of them live in industrialized societies, and I have found that people with at least one foot in the Third Epoch have too far to go to imagine the Fifth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), and that includes Dennis. So, that knocks it down to 300 million potential choir members. The integrity numbers knock it way down from there. I have seen the estimate that maybe 3% of the population is sufficiently other-serving (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) to become enlightened, and it is all about love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). That knocks it down to about 10 million. I think that 3% is far too generous, for what I have in mind, and it blows most minds. Let’s say 1% of them, which knocks it down to three million. If I can find one-in-1,000 of them, or maybe one-in-500, I will have what I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69). And they need to already be awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) in some way, and probably most of them have, which just comes with the territory of caring enough to try to make a dent. To one degree or another, we found out how the land really lied. I like my chances, I am devoting the rest of my life to this approach, and I might have another 30 good years in me. If somebody came along and did it better, I would probably carry those spears. :)
So, this post wraps up the documentation of my life thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482) for now. I have made my journey as real as I can, for the people I seek, trying to overcome the limitations of this medium. We’ll see how it goes.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I recently read a few afterlife (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/149-The-Human-Afterlife-and-the-Journey-of-our-Souls?p=2339&viewfull=1#post2339) books. The Hereafter Trilogy (https://www.amazon.com/Hereafter-Trilogy-Book-Removes-Doubt/dp/1511439319) is one of the best of its kind, which presented the best evidential cases for life after death, particularly in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. As I have written plenty, many prominent scientists, even Nobel Prize winners, investigated afterlife evidence and came away impressed, with many tested mediums and the like. You would never know it if all you read were debunker works. The author of that book called them “Überskeptics,” and did not have much respect for them. I consider organized skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) to be a criminal enterprise (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#criminal), and its ranks are filled with religious fanatics for materialism, who can have the zeal of Dominican Inquisitors. The book’s style was a little hokey, as it presented it as two guys having a chat, almost always over food, but if you get over that, it presents many good cases of afterdeath survival, and many quotes from prominent scientists.
The Amazing Afterlife of Animals (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36523501-the-amazing-afterlife-of-animals-messages-and-signs-from-our-pets-on-th) was written by a professional psychic who specialized in messages from departed pets. They hang around their humans after death, and send messages to prove it. Also, the author was a cop for a time, and animals helped her solve crimes. What I found of particular interest was that when a pet’s time is near, she recommended euthanasia, as it helped them move on with minimal suffering.
I read Heaven is Beautiful (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26038881-heaven-is-beautiful) in one sitting yesterday, kind of wasting my day, but I couldn’t put it down. The guy had an NDE (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nde) when he was in his early 20s, doing it the young idiot way. It made the stupid hiking decisions (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page21?p=2103&viewfull=1#post2103) I made pale to insignificance. One of the downsides of life in the USA is that there is no wilderness to speak of east of the Mississippi, where most of the USA’s population lives, and young people from the eastern USA, and big cities all over the USA, get the wilderness bug, and often the climbing bug. And they head out to the wilderness and mountains, often unprepared, without any idea what they are getting into, and they die like flies.
The author had a sister who nearly died in a self-inflicted asphyxiation episode which damaged her brain, and she was a lost child as she grew up, running away for years, returning with infant children that she could not take care of, etc. The author escaped it all by moving from Massachusetts to Montana to go to college. His NDE was in 1980, when he signed on with another student to go snow trekking and ice climbing in the Canadian Rockies on spring break. I read about their misadventures, shaking my head. The author had never done ice climbing before, and had to rent and borrow his gear, and that nearly cost him his life.
They first ski trekked into the wilderness, and nearly died the first night, when the cabin they counted on staying in had burned down some time before that. After days of that kind of ski trekking, getting deep into the wilderness, they then decided to climb Weeping Wall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeping_Wall_(Alberta)), which is an ice fall in winter. They only climbed the lower part, and were only 100 yards from their car, but because the author did not bring the right gear, they got stuck on the wall at night and nearly froze to death, which is when the author had his NDE.
It was a classic NDE in ways, with the life review (which was kind of hellish for him, when he realized the pain he inflicted during his life) and the timeless, love-filled afterlife, and he called his encounter one with God, which is common among NDE-ers (I doubt that it is the godhead that they encountered, but still some powerful entity, maybe even their souls). For people with NDEs, their return is usually voluntary, in that they can stay on the other side and die, but the ones who return usually make the decision to, because they still have work to do (such as raising young children), and their returns to their bodies are usually horrific, as they were on the brink of death anyway, so they come back to broken and disabled bodies.
In the case of the author of Heaven is Beautiful, he was nearly dead from hypothermia, and their disorientation for days afterward led to wrecking their car, going to jail, and the author ended up having to hitchhike back to Montana. It was a catastrophe of a trip, but the author knew that death is far from the end, and that God is love. He became a minister. I learned something new about World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good) when reading Heaven is Beautiful. When soldiers returned home from Europe or the Pacific Theater, the boats took them to the ports on the East and West Coasts, and then the soldiers were on their own. Many had to hitchhike back to their homes, and the author of Heaven is Beautiful was an experienced hitchhiker. He said that his rides usually came from World War II veterans, who were “paying back” for their rides home after they returned to the USA. Those days are long-gone in the USA. I remember, back in the 1980s, reading that a third of hitchhikers and those who picked them up had ulterior motives. I doubt that it has gotten any better.
Like that friend of the family who died last year (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1860&viewfull=1#post1860), if you want to die, mountain climbing is a good way to do it, or heading into the wilderness unprepared. I want to die in bed. :)

The guy had an NDE (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nde) when he was in his early 20s, doing it the young idiot way. It made the stupid hiking decisions (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page21?p=2103&viewfull=1#post2103) I made pale to insignificance.

Thanks Bill (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1382975&viewfull=1#post1382975)!
Yes, that was quite a trip to do, and he had never ice-climbed before. Perfect young idiot behavior. :) How he nearly died was by using an ice hammer and ice ax, instead of two ice axes, and he wore out his ice hammer arm, which made their trip take twice as much time as anticipated, which is how they got stuck on Weeping Wall at night.
As I have written before, there seems to be evolutionary reasons for this, as young men just don’t have any sense of risk, which is what makes them such good cannon fodder (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). The author’s chapter on that trip was titled “Immortal Youth.” I can hardly believe that my father and other relatives thought that you were not quite a man until you had been a soldier, and sold it to me like that. That nearly turned me into an imperial killer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2483&viewfull=1#post2483).
In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), that kind of suicidal/homicidal stupidity won’t exist, and I pray that it is bred out of humanity in short order, about the same time that nations and races disappear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations).

Hi:
When I wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/149-The-Human-Afterlife-and-the-Journey-of-our-Souls?p=2525&viewfull=1#post2525) that the author of Heaven is Beautiful was disoriented, along with his climbing partner, it was not just the aftermath of nearly dying of hypothermia, but it was also the disorientation of that author’s trying to process his NDE (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nde). The term NDE had only been coined five years earlier, in Raymond Moody’s Life after Life. The author literally had no frame of reference to understand what he experienced, even though he was a Christian.
As I recently wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis/page2?p=2476&viewfull=1#post2476) about death camp survivors and my own adventures, because humans are herd animals, they have long marginalized, denied, dismissed, ignored, and attacked anything that did not conform to “consensus reality.” The author of Heaven is Beautiful only told two people about his NDE for the next 20 years: his wife and a close friend sworn to silence. That is a typical NDE story.
Even today, if you look up Moody’s book (Heaven%20is%20Beautiful), for instance, at Wikipedia, the only “assessment” comes from the criminal “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends).” Every article at Wikipedia on anything not materialist has a similar treatment. Heck, if they could turn Ed’s bio (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#cross) into an exercise in libel, when there is really nothing to rationally dispute about his work, how hard is it to tell Big Lies about and misrepresent stuff like NDEs?
I’ll write soon on some other books I have been reading, on evolution and intelligent design (ID), as both camps go at it. I think that both of them miss the boat, and those battles missed the boat when I became aware of them in college. Evolution is a reality, but it is also far more complex and subtle than today’s science currently understands, and consciousness is the driver of, not an ephemeral byproduct of, our universe. I doubt that the ID people really have much understanding of what is happening, and neither do the materialists. In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), all of the science and controversies around evolution today are going be seen as about as sophisticated as cave drawings.

Hi:
I am crazy busy right now, so I am going to be pretty quiet for the next month. I have a little observation on evolution to make. When Alfred Wegener (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Wegener) proposed his “Continental Drift” hypothesis, he had no idea why the continents had drifted, only that they had. Because he did not know why they drifted, his idea was dismissed for about 50 years, until the rise of plate tectonics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#glacier1), and he was posthumously vindicated.
When Darwin proposed his theory of evolution, he had no idea how it worked. He had only a vague idea of how organisms might have inherited the traits of their ancestors. In his case, however, his theory was not dismissed. When genetics appeared on the scene, it was considered to complement Darwin’s work, in what is called the Modern Synthesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_synthesis_(20th_century)).
When I had my spectacular mystical awakening at age 16 (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva), not only did I know that materialism was a false faith, but it also ruined me as a mainstream scientist, as materialism is really one of its underpinnings, as science has largely been turned into a religion.
I have been watching the materialists and Creationists go at it since I was a teenager, and it has been largely watching two camps of zealots going after it. Today, it has morphed into “Intelligent Design” versus random mutation camps, and I have been reading up on the state of the debate.
The way I see it is as follows…
Our universe is a manifestation of conscious, or God, if you prefer, which has gone by many names, such as Michael’s Tao (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael) or Seth’s The All That Is (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth). My sense is that life on Earth likely began with individual atoms and molecules’ forming what we call life. There was not an external creator, but life created itself, and the manifesting of life, which is a manifestation of consciousness, is a vehicle for the development of consciousness, in the endless journey from the godhead and back again (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page24?p=2219&viewfull=1#post2219). What is called LUCA (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca) today was the result of hundreds of millions of years of evolution, and just how life came to be, with its DNA, membranes, enzymes, and the like is a mystery that science may never solve. But I doubt that LUCA, or something close to it, for instance, was created in an instant of divine or ET intervention. I’ll agree that the problems posed by how life developed is a thorny one, but I strongly suspect that life is “home-grown” on Earth, and did not have outside intervention, in the form of a preexisting organism, to appear on Earth. The ETs are welcome to show us how it happened, or some heavenly being, if there was some kind of outside intervention, but until that day happens, I am going to lean toward that interpretation.
Today’s evolutionary theory is the battleground of competing factions, and epigenetics is on the rise today, to help explain heredity. What is clear to me, after digesting a great deal of the evidence and argumentation, is that the science of evolution is still in its infancy, and the mechanisms are still poorly understood. But, the fossil record is very clear that evolution has happened, as life evolved from single-cell simple bacteria through eukaryotic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mitochondria) forms to multicellular forms (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals) to the man writing these words. Kind of like with Wegener, because scientists do not really know how evolution happens does not mean that we can’t see that it does happen.
Today, in many areas, great work is being done, to help illuminate the processes of evolution, and what happens at the cellular level is particularly fascinating. But even if scientists can eventually discover just how life began (and produce it in lab settings), it still is not going to be credible support for materialism, IMO. Materialism is a passing fad of the Fourth Epoch, its religion, really, as people always go for those big explanations, to make sense of it all, but it is a false faith, just like the other organized religions. It has some elements of the truth in it, just like all religions do, but it is so distorted, and it has its religious zealots, popes, inquisitors, and the rest. It is a human predilection, and in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), when scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) are no longer the background hum of human societies, something far more enlightened will arise. Science will become far more spiritual, spirituality will become far more scientific, neither will much resemble today’s versions of them, and there is going to be a convergence of them. Love will reign (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest), as it has never done before, and humanity will finally become a truly sentient species.
The gist of the story I tell in my big essay is one of energy, information, and consciousness, and just how evolution works is of secondary importance, although the energy issue is still paramount. You can take it to the bank that birds evolved from theropods (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#feathers), even though there are plenty of battles over the exact descent relationship. You can take it to the bank that humanity arose from the evolutionary milieu in Africa, as some marginal chimps left the trees (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit), learned to walk upright (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bipedskull), and led to us. The fossil evidence is thin for it, but that is just the nature of fossil evidence. There is a vast amount of that sketchy fossil evidence to outline the general contours of the path from the last common ancestor of chimps and humans, and the artifactual record also tells the evolutionary story of the past few million years, and how our ancestors kept improving their tools and ways to use them.
There is just way too much good evidence to support those ideas, and that will be my framework until the ETs or some divine beings arrive to convincingly show us differently, and I doubt that they will. I consider it possible that there was some kind of ET intervention in our evolutionary journey, but I doubt that that it was much, or even all that critical. The need for evolution to go forward (it is not random, as materialists would have us believe) is constant, and increasing brains and intelligence have been integral aspects of evolution on Earth, going back to the Cambrian Explosion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cambrian). I think that can largely explain the rise of bipedal apes that had explosive brain growth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain), leading to an ensouled species that appeared on the evolutionary scene about 60,000 years ago. As Michael stated, our galaxy has a million ensouled species, our wildest science-fiction yarns barely hint at that diversity, and I strongly suspect that life as we know it is just one of many varieties of life. Star Trek is not that fictional.
That is how I see it today, and we’ll see if it changes much before I cash in my chips.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As a coda to that recent libel thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), my game is manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). My first stint with Dennis, from the moment that voice told me to move to Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), to when Mr. Professor and I busted Dennis out of jail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage) three years later, was the education of my life. Everything else in my lifetime pales to insignificance, compared to those years, regarding my learning curve.
I started that adventure by mopping up from the biggest run ever made (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run) to bring alternative energy to the marketplace, with what is still history’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), and it ended with being wiped out after we pursued free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit), after Dennis rejected a billion dollar bribe to fold the operation (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer). Make no mistake about it; if we had been unmolested, the world would likely have free energy today. It would not have been super heat pumps and hydraulic heat engines (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry), but something like what Sparky developed (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky).
Those years woke me up. My awakening process (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) really began when my family changed its diet (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), to save my father’s life, and continued with my trip to Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2495&viewfull=1#post2495), mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva), and postgraduate adventures (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), but it was all mere preparation for my ride with Dennis.
What an incredible odyssey, and most important was what I learned from it all. I got to see how the media operated (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072), years before encountering Noam and Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), I witnessed corruption amongst public officials that beggars the imagination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681), as the Establishment repeatedly sent its hit men and women (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2046&viewfull=1#post2046) after us. 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) in no uncertain terms, in ways that I still am not at liberty to publicly discuss.
Similar to that recent book on vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484) that I read, that medical intervention not only robs children’s immune systems of the opportunity to develop, it has a long-term crippling effect on their immune systems.
For anybody who actually wants to make a dent in our world, and the arrival of free energy would do it like nothing else in the human journey, Dennis’s journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574) should be required reading, as the centerpiece of any studies on the issue.
But not only does the media lie about all of it, so do the talking heads in the free energy field, and it blows me away that that libelous essay is still promoted to this day, in the free energy field, no less. That helps rob people of the opportunity to learn about how our world really works, so that they can actually participate in something productive, instead of all the branch-hacking that I have witnessed.
That is the greatest crime that Mr. Libeler committed, but he has many accomplices. That essay and its long life is arguably Exhibit A for why the free energy field remains in its state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1217&viewfull=1#post1217), and won’t get anything done of substance in its current state. What a tragedy.

Hi:
I have written plenty on the racist and bigoted environment (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life/page2?p=2523&viewfull=1#post2523) that I grew up in. I read this article by Molly Ringwald (https://www.newyorker.com/culture/personal-history/what-about-the-breakfast-club-molly-ringwald-metoo-john-hughes-pretty-in-pink) back when she published it. I subscribed to National Lampoon as a young man, read those John Hughes articles that Molly refers to, when they were published, and saw Breakfast Club when it came out. The charges she makes are all valid.
I was reading this book (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HANOJRO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) last night, and you can see some heavy hitters reviewing it at Amazon. Noam and Ed’s work (https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/553-the-united-states-southeast-asia-and-historical-memory) is prominent in it, and Noam has a good interview at the end of it. One chapter is an excerpt from After the Cataclysm (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cataclysm), and the book is devastating, on the historic crime that the USA committed in Indochina, how the media and American cultural systems have always lied about it, and how they have tried to bury it. Mr. Mentor’s work was used to help stage the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and his bomb to end that war without harming people was suppressed by the Pentagon (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#introduction). So, even though I was too young to understand what was happening, and really didn’t until I encountered work such as Noam and Ed’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), this has long been an important subject in my life.
I recently documented my childhood (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482), and my days at Serra Elementary (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2489&viewfull=1#post2489). I was never a child who would have been subjected to it, but while I attended Serra, the principal had a big paddle on his office wall, and he used it on students, which was normal in those days. I remember fellow students talking about it, and how it had holes in it, so there was less wind resistance, but it also made it whistle as the principal paddled butts (and probably never a girl’s – only boys could earn that “honor”). I don’t know exactly when it went out of vogue, but it says here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_punishment#Modernity) that the practice lasted into the 1980s in the USA and UK. It was much worse earlier. My father had his skull broken at least once from the beatings that his father administered to him, after his return from World War II. Late in his life, my grandfather admitted how ignorant and unenlightened the times were that he grew up in (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas).
I write a great deal on the myths of American history (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), and I present many instances of American “battle” trophies being paraded around, including Indian children, open calls for extermination (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#sandcreek), and the like. The USA became Hitler’s inspiration (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hitler). I wrote about it plenty in my big essay, and will do so much more in my essay update, but there have been precious few peaceful periods in the human journey. When they happened, it was when a new energy source was tapped, and there was peace and plenty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), for a short time, which soon degenerated into warfare when the easy energy ran out. It was far more brutal, the further back in the human journey we look. About a third of all hunter-gatherer men (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#deathrate) died violently, after that Epoch’s brief golden age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer) ended.
Third Epoch societies, with the partial exception of matrilocal horticultural villages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), which broke up the male gangs, were extremely violent, too. European invaders stumbled into those matrilocal horticultural societies in the Eastern Woodlands (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mississippian), which was why they had an epidemic problem of the invaders’ running away and joining the Indians (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#captive).
As I see it, as the energy surplus increased with each Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), societies could afford to be more humane. What we have seen over the past three centuries, of slavery going from normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas) to evil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend), to the liberation of women, demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), and the like, including what we see today, in which sexism and racism are under siege in the USA, sort of, is all merely what the transition from agrarian to industrial societies looks like. The Fourth Epoch is only three centuries old, and no change in the human journey has been as dramatic. While being in the midst of it, it can seem “normal,” but no peoples have ever had so much change so swiftly, and there is plenty of friction that accompanies it, as people jockey for position, in a world that is still based on scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), for all of its advances.
People are going to have a much easier time adjusting to abundance and love (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). :)
But those needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) need to come together and do the work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Otherwise, it might be Game Over (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and soon, for humanity, which is also “normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3)” for species such as ours. Will we become a truly sentient species in time? That is up to us.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Time for some odds and ends. Here (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/10/05/how-does-science-really-work?) is a recent article on how science works, which discusses the tensions between the objective and subjective, and how generating data is the sine qua non of science. I wrote about those tensions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox) in my big essay, and look forward to updating that chapter.
There has been some progress in deciphering the Inca quipu (https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/khipus-inca-empire-harvard-university-colonialism), which was their method of accounting. The first writings were accounting (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing), so the quipu is no exception.
Here (https://www.quantamagazine.org/first-support-for-a-physics-theory-of-life-20170726/) is a little article on one of the new hypotheses on the block on how life will arise with enough energy, as a physicist tackles life’s origins. Well, you certainly need it, but I doubt it is all that is needed. But, it is correct in stressing that life needs energy to exist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aspects).
Here come mandatory vaccinations (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2020926), alas. The racket runs deeply (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484).
Global Warming is creating new kinds of fires (https://www.wired.com/story/west-coast-california-wildfire-infernos/), and I have kind of resigned myself to an annual fire season, in which the air is so unhealthy that I can’t hike. Three of the last four years have been that way, which put a crimp in my hiking seasons.
This recent so-called farming revolution is kind of fraudulent (https://narratively.com/the-not-so-simple-life/), as people eke out a new kind of peasant life.
Here is an old article (https://slate.com/technology/2014/05/phineas-gage-neuroscience-case-true-story-of-famous-frontal-lobe-patient-is-better-than-textbook-accounts.html) on how the Phineas Gage story is an enduring scientific myth.
I can’t read articles like those without thinking about the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). In the Fifth Epoch, pretty much all of that fades to oblivion.
To know that the technologies to usher in the Fifth Epoch are likely older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) can wreck people. When I discovered their reality, I had already been through the meat grinder (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit), and it was no great surprise. I had already learned my journey’s most important lessons (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), was well on my way to developing a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), so learning the reality of those technologies did not rock my boat. It only informed me that we were not chasing unicorns, but real stuff.
Over the long years since then, it has really been something, to help get people where they need to be for that information to inform a productive perspective. Almost nobody ever gets past ignorance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0), denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), and for the few who do, they almost unerringly head straight for disaster, proselytizing to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), proposing their bright ideas that have all been tried many times before (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), flying off the handle in all sorts of ways, which could land them in mental institutions, become suicidal, and the like. I truly seek needles in haystacks, and that there are so few candidates on Earth just might doom our species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). I know my approach will work, if enough people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) do the work. If I can’t do it, somebody else can. If humanity does go down the toilet, I likely won’t live to see it, but today’s youth might. If we don’t start to turn the corner soon, we might never. Bucky thought that if we did not turn it by the 1980s, humanity’s chances of survival would be less than 50%. We are generations past that.
So, the draw of the Fifth Epoch, which can look a lot like that heavenly Roads world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), has always been my primary motivation, and averting the catastrophe has always been in second place. Free energy takes care of all of the most pressing issues, as side-effects (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate). It has truly been a surreal journey, to know what I do and live in this world, and my “friends (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3)” never let me in on the joke. When my day comes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/149-The-Human-Afterlife-and-the-Journey-of-our-Souls?p=2339&viewfull=1#post2339), only then will it all be revealed to me, which is part of the cruelty of this journey. I have had plenty of compensation, but being in the dark constantly has been a challenge, to put it mildly. :)

Hi:
There is a four-year ritual in the American media: Noam is never allowed on the mainstream media, except just before Election Day, when they put Noam on to say, “Vote Democrat (https://www.salon.com/2020/10/17/noam-chomsky-if-you-dont-push-the-lever-for-the-democrats-you-are-assisting-trump/).” I don’t think I have discussed it much before, but that interview has Noam going on quite a bit on the existential threat that Global Warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797) presents to humanity, which has been a theme of his in recent years.
I contacted Noam on the free energy issue in 1992. I received a gracious reply (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis/page2?p=2475&viewfull=1#post2475), and then the polite brushoff soon afterward, to give another example of the uphill battle that free energy faces, from all corners. That Noam could give it the polite brushoff, and then go into depth on the existential threat of Global Warming, when free energy would solve it almost overnight (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), is just one of the many surreal aspects of this issue.
I repeatedly tried to introduce Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) to Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), to no avail. And, within the free energy milieu itself, Big Lies about Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480) are the order of the day, when the media isn’t doing it (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072).
It took me many years to finally understand and articulate what I was seeing. An addiction to scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation) is part of it, which results in mindless adherence to the dominant ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), which are all founded on the scarcity concept. When I can’t get through to Noam and Ed, whom can I reach, that could help make a dent? I eventually realized how rare such people are (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and I am not done looking.

Hi:
As we near the end of this strange year, which nobody alive over the age of five will ever forget, it is time for a few reflections. The USA has gone stark raving mad, making the post 9-11 insanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc) seem tame. I saw a stat recently that about 40% of Americans have mental health issues these days. It has not been an easy year for me. I was on lock-down in March, I was not even allowed to hike until May, and when the trails did open, I saw hordes like never before. All popular trails near my home were conga lines. Fortunately, I know when and where to go to avoid nearly all of it. My town was under curfew in June, with the violence that spilled over from the events that led to CHAZ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_Autonomous_Zone). For nearly two weeks in September, the air was so bad from the epic fires that I could not hike, or really even leave my home. On one surreal morning during that event, it was so dark that the streetlights were still on at 9 AM. Fortunately for me, I have kept my job, so far.
Identity politics is reaching a crescendo (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2431&viewfull=1#post2431), and if it gets any crazier, I don’t want to see it. Donald Trump is the most naked narcissist that ever occupied the White House (but being a war criminal (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1) is part of his job description, so nearly all Americans ignore that part, as the Empire creaks along), but I have been bombarded for years about how he is some white knight on a steed, taking on the Deep State, that he has the answer for the pandemic up his sleeve, which will be unveiled any day now, and other messianic ideas. What a person to hang one’s hopes on. It kind of reminds me of Being There (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_There). That is all a close cousin to what I have seen for nearly 30 years, on how the so-called White Hats (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#white) will announce, any day now, the ET presence, the arrival of free energy, and they will lock up all of the bad guys, led by the heroes in the American military, which is the greatest killing machine on Earth today (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1) – I would not count on much virtue coming from those ranks. I get emails like that almost daily. It is the adult equivalent of waiting for Santa Claus to come down the chimney.
For the record, about 99% of what I write about is easily verified, by anybody with a little gumption, and the few items that the public can’t verify, such as my friend’s underground show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) or Dennis’s billion dollar bribe from the CIA (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), is actually not far out there at all, among my fellow travelers. Dennis put the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on people’s homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs), in the most brilliant and benevolent business strategy that I ever saw, and if we had not been wiped out in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), the world might well have free energy today. Of course, nearly everybody lies about all of that, from the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072) to talking heads in the free energy field (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), which was only more confirmation 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 Sterling defended Mr. Skeptic (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page4?p=1550&viewfull=1#post1550) while simultaneously attacking Brian kind of says it all about the free energy field today. Those are examples of why I state that integrity and sentience are the keys, not really the technology. The technology to usher in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is older than I am.
In sharp contrast, the stuff I am bombarded with comes from the New Age/conspiracist usual suspects, and while 99% of what I write about is easily verified, about 99% of what they write about can’t be. In recent weeks, I have seen the tired old story of the White Hats taking on the Black Hats in the underground bases, how ET disclosure (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) will happen next week, and so on. And while I have never asked for a dime for my writings, those usual suspects all make good money selling their “news” to a gullible audience, as they spin their tabloid-style yarns. It seems that they have a regular cycle, of ET Disclosure one month, some underground base “revelation” the next month, some huge government shake-up the month after that, to several other New Age/conspiracist topics, to start from the top again. It is like they need to keep coming up with “product” for their audience, which never fails to lap up the stories, which seems like they just replace some names, places, and dates, and publish their retreads.
What that all does is encourage people to be spectators, not agents of change, and it can become tiresome to be lumped in with those people. We cover similar subject matter sometimes, but our approaches could not be more different.
Time to start a very busy week.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Americans really are not my target audience, but in some ways they are, at least the awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) ones. Awakening is not easy to do, in my great nation. The siren song of sleepiness comes from all directions. My awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) was a long and fitful process, beginning when I was 12 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), when my family changed its diet, to save my father’s life. Four years later, I had my mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva), the same year of my cultural awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2495&viewfull=1#post2495) and when my energy dreams began (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), followed by my first existential crisis three years later, when that voice (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) first spoke to me. Five years after that, I began my baptism by fire in LA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), leading to the second time that I heard from that voice (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). It led me straight to Dennis, when my wild ride began. Less than three years later, Mr. Deputy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy) was making faces at me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces) as I testified, and that was my lifetime’s greatest line of demarcation, as I would never see the world the same way again.
It was only after that that I heard of Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), and the like. If I had not already been awakened, I would have likely never begun those years of study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739), and I would likely not have much worth saying. Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice) and Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon) began to awaken in more dramatic fashion. If everybody had to awaken how we did, few would have survived the experience with their sanity intact, and we all had to thank our Boy Scout natures (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) for that.
This year has been a challenging one for Americans (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2534&viewfull=1#post2534), but I doubt that very many are going to wake up. Late in his life, Ed’s favorite news source may have been Consortium News. This year was the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, and our dropping of nuclear weapons on a defeated Japan that was trying to surrender (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping). The only significant discussion that I saw, especially that challenged the self-serving myths that Americans are fed about it, was at Consortium News (https://consortiumnews.com/tag/hiroshima/). Other than “radical” corners such as Consortium, it was business as usual in the media echo chamber.
Awakening in one area makes it easier to awaken in others, and for Americans who have been awakened to the extent of questioning their conditioning, my work is stiff medicine, as I take on the myths and lies of my indoctrination and conditioning, from the news (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) to the history (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more) I was taught (or not taught), to the myths about our “greatest (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good)” war, to how the big industries are all rackets (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets), as capitalism itself is a racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#capitalism), to our vast imperial crimes (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early), which go back to our nation’s founding (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint), and even to when the first Englishmen set foot on North America (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english).
In the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4), the primary religions are materialism, nationalism, and capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), while organized religion has lost its sway, as it is a construct of agrarian societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1). For the people I seek, they have the willingness and capacity to see how they are all related, as they all create in-groups (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) at the expense of out-groups (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1), which is a phenomenon that goes back to the beginnings of social animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason). People who obsess about the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), particularly conspiracists, are not yet awake, as they have just made them into another out-group, who can be blamed for our ills, when we are all authors of today’s world. Seeing the world through the eyes of victimhood (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness) is a human universal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up). Only those who aspire to a creator’s perspective, not a victim’s, are going to be of any use to my effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and creators create with love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest).
On this path of awakening, coming to understand the existence and vigilance of the GCs is only a “bonus,” and my fellow travelers eventually discovered that the so-called “laws of physics” are not laws at all, and it reflects the human ego to even call them “laws.” What my friend was shown (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) turns the physics textbooks into doorstops, and Brian was fond of calling out the “laws of physics” as little more than the beliefs of scientists (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Brian_O'Leary#The_Second_Coming_of_Science,_1993), who generally worship at the altar of materialism.
So, Americans who awaken past all of that, or are well on their way to achieving it, are the Americans I seek, and there are not many of them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). For non-Americans who have awakened, they will see similarities to their awakenings and ours. They are not different in kind, but are just other ways of creating in-group “awareness,” which is the herd mentality (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings). They can achieve the perspective that sees what all such indoctrination and conditioning has in common, and it should make it easier to shed all such conditioning. Then, we can all focus on what is important and refrain from hacking at branches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus), such as thinking that retail politics matters, that we can beseech the powerful (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1) for help, and so on, which is suicidal behavior in this milieu (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches).
Most of my “peers” – white educated American men – blow gaskets only a few pages into my work, such as here (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress), and my work is designed to drive them away, and quickly. I am not trying to sneak past their ego mechanisms. They can’t awaken by reading work like mine. People can only awaken through experience. The awake will immediately realize that my work is something different, while the asleep either see it as a threat to their existence, or meaningless. The asleep cannot help with this Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why). Some Americans will be awake enough to help, but I don’t really spend my time trying to awaken my fellow Americans.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I want to briefly revisit a group of related subjects that my work touches on, regarding free energy, the UFO/ET connection, the debunkers, and the infighting that I have long noted in those milieus.
After staggering out of Ventura in 1990, with my life in ruins, I began my studies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739), which continue to this day, and will, as long as I have most of my marbles. :) I have recently been reading more about the controversy around Greer’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), his dead-man’s switch document (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch/page2?p=2470&viewfull=1#post2470), Dolan’s recent work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=2371&viewfull=1#post2371) (and its debunking (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch/page2?p=2470&viewfull=1#post2470)), attacks on Greer from within the UFO/ET milieu, and the like.
I hardly know where to start, other than to mention that the whole UFO/ET issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2) is a minor part of my work. I am far more interested in the technologies that my friend saw (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) than I am in whether they were of ET origin or not (but at least some of it probably was). The ET issue is certainly interesting, but I would not count on Congressional hearings, official disclosure, and the like anytime soon.
Dolan’s levels of reality (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/150-The-Talents-Responsibilities-and-Limitations-of-Intellectuals?p=2388&viewfull=1#post2388) are very legit, and all I’ll say about the recent debunkery that I have seen about his work (https://richarddolanmembers.com/) is that one of the debunkers in that cadre is the same person who idiotically tried to debunk Brian’s Martian credentials (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/91-Scientific-literacy/page3?p=556&viewfull=1#post556). I have long considered organized skepticism to be a criminal enterprise (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#criminal), and watching the space debunkers at work only emphasizes that idea.
Some of the people that Greer named are the same people who tried to recruit Brian to do classified UFO work, and Brian nearly died (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) in a life-shortening incident immediately after refusing their “offer.” The closest that Brian ever came to publicly discussing that incident was in the prologue of his last book (http://ahealedplanet.net/synopsis.htm#naive). Brian was afraid that if he ever really went public with it, that the spooks would finish the job.
I have seen the attacks on Greer from within the UFO milieu since the 1990s, and I am not quite sure what to make of them. Greer’s obvious narcissistic bent certainly plays right into it, and I have to wonder who among the assailants are on the payroll, but I think that I can confidently say that the members of the UFO/ET milieu are often their own worst enemies, just like I saw in the free energy field (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), the JFK assassination field (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#jfk), and so on. They 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 am going to hang my hat on Dennis and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), and the rest, I am not so sure about. I’ll say this, however: Dennis played at a higher level than anybody else that I ever saw in the free energy and ET/UFO milieus. He gave the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) some very interesting days at the office over the years, and they took us out with extreme prejudice in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), as they realized the threat that our efforts posed. It was not so much about super heat pumps and hydraulic heat engines (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry), but bringing pigs such as Sparky’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) to market. That is what kept them awake at night.
The Greer/Dolan/Webre/debunker circus is something to behold, and I think that I’ll keep my distance from it. I am doing something very different (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), the UFO/ET issue is just not that important to me, while there are very real dangers to poking one’s nose very far into it, and I don’t need any more of that in my life.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I will revisit the free energy physics issue in this post. At Avalon (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?14129-Free-Energy-Physics&p=138564&viewfull=1#post138564) and my forum (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/54-Free-Energy-Physics?p=72&viewfull=1#post72) are free energy physics threads. Brian only claimed a rudimentary familiarity (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Brian_O'Leary#Miracle_in_the_Void,_1996) with free energy physics, and when he tried to explain even the rudimentary aspects of his rudimentary understanding, the eyes of his audience would glaze over. There is no way that I could make a convincing free energy physics presentation that would get somebody over the hump. For most, only seeing free energy for themselves (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink) can really do that. I seek those who can get over the hump without getting an underground technology show, and few of them walk on Earth today.
What I do is show how scientific heavyweights (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf1) did not dismiss free energy’s possibility, and anybody who cites the “laws of physics” to deny free energy’s possibility is playing priest, not scientist. According to the prevailing theories, 95% of the universe is not even observable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darkmatter). Let’s just say that humanity is a long, long way from figuring it all out. :)
If people want to digest some free energy physics, Sparky’s paper (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) is a good place to start. His gizmo worked, so there is reason to take his theorizing seriously. There are many alternative physics models out there, and most that I have seen allow that free energy is possible. But I hardly care about any of that, because of what my friend was shown (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). All of the theorizing in the world pales next to that. For the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why), to a degree, the issue becomes how credible my friend and I are. I spent more time recently establishing my bona fides (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482) and trying to overcome the inherent limitations in this medium. I also spent time showing how baseless another attack on Dennis was (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480). I have discussed Dennis’s heat pump at length (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/128-Dennis-s-Heat-Pump-Performance?p=1520&viewfull=1#post1520), provided plenty of test data, discussed Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), discussed 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), after he died, I am Brian’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm) and Ed’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) biographer, Peter Ward raved about my scientific writings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page6?p=738&viewfull=1#post738), Ed’s allies raved about my biographical writings, and, if nothing else, I hope that I have established the honesty and competency of my writings. I am not really into faith. If the people I seek do the work, it is not such a leap to understand that free energy technology is on the planet today. Adventures such as Mark’s (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647) are not unusual in this milieu, and Brian was not even surprised when I told him about my friend’s show.
The people who possess free energy technology likely have theories to explain how it works, as well as the antigravity technology that my friend was also shown. The new physics will partly come from studying those technologies, if they ever come in from the shadows. Until then, scientists will spin their theories, seek funding to test them, etc. I doubt that materialism will survive for long, as the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are not materialists. They understand the bigger picture (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/149-The-Human-Afterlife-and-the-Journey-of-our-Souls?p=2339&viewfull=1#post2339), at least somewhat. None of today’s dominant ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) will survive for long in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). They will all quickly become obsolete, and nobody will need to be coerced out of them, just like how children don’t need to be coerced to stop believing in Santa or to give up their training wheels; it is just part of growing up.
But the new physics will not arrive until those technologies do, and mainstream scientists will finally understand how they have been played for chumps for longer than I have been alive. People from all walks of life will come to sobering realizations if/when what is hidden is finally revealed. Only then can the new physics really arrive. Until then, it is all merely pretty theory.

Hi:
I am going to make some posts on moments of my journey. This might turn out to be rather long. Similar to my recent thread on documenting my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482), particularly my early life, this will be another attempt at overcoming the limitations of this medium, for the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why).
I have seen my writings compared to John Grisham’s (http://www.ssqq.com/stories/cancerfight05.htm) and Guy de Maupassant’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_de_Maupassant), among others. I have seen my life compared to a character in a Ludlum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ludlum) book, and my life is like Walter Mitty’s compared to Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574). I recently was driven to finally expose (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480) one of the most persistent lies about Dennis’s journey, which I began hearing in the Seattle days, about how much money he supposedly stole from the public and his companies. Dennis has spent most of his adult life in poverty, as he kept rebuilding his efforts after they were wiped out or stolen. Big Lies about Dennis have always come from the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072), and I finally learned that lying is their job (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing). But I was also raised with Big Lies, as soon as I began school (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more). The lies come from all directions (http://ahealedplanet.net/synopsis.htm#naive), and we are not going to get over the hump through lies and deception. I seek the few who care about the truth and are willing to get out of their easy chairs to pursue it. I know how rare they are (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and this thread will be made with them in mind, as they will recognize their journeys in mine.
Making that documentation thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482) naturally led to this one. I am going use that eidetic memory once again, while I still have it, and recount key memories from my life. Unfortunately, more people have to die before I can be totally frank, but I’ll do what I can to present memories of key events in my journey, from age two until now.
As Joya Pope read me long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), I am emotionally centered in this lifetime, which has presented unique challenges and opportunities. I remember wrestling with my emotional nature from a young age. My father (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), like his father (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas), came back an emotional wreck from warfare. My mother’s father came back physically crippled from it (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#influenza), as did my wife’s father. Dennis may have had it the worst of them (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=778&viewfull=1#post778), and it definitely influenced his journey. War-damaged men have been a constant in my life.
My father was the designated disciplinarian in the household when I grew up, and his journey gave him a volcanic anger that he was always dealing with. My father did not beat us like his father did (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life/page2?p=2531&viewfull=1#post2531), but spankings were nearly a daily event with my criminal brother, and I remember having nightmares when I was four years old regarding my father’s anger. My memories go back to when I was two; some stuck in my memory because of their emotional charge, others because of the novelty or surprise of them, and others for reasons I don’t know. In this coming thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2540&viewfull=1#post2540), I will recount memories that had an impact in one way or another on my journey. My life has been all too real, and I sympathize with people who really can’t begin to imagine the reality that I encountered, so this will be another attempt to make my journey as real as I can, for the people I seek.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I will, as usual, intersperse the newest thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2540&viewfull=1#post2540) with other topics, and while I can’t read the entire article because I refuse to subscribe to the New York Times, for obvious reasons (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#ethics), a recent article (https://attentiontotheunseen.com/2020/10/20/the-real-divide-in-america-is-between-political-junkies-and-everyone-else/) deals with why I try to not pay attention to retail politics: I see it as a bunch of bickering children, fighting over who gets the most toys. As Bucky noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics), politics is hopelessly inadequate for dealing with the pressing issues. The mainstream (in the USA, that means the political parties) is grotesque, while those to the right and left of the mainstream have their own weaknesses (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), as they hack at branches if they hack at all. The sitting American president is little more than a puppet (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), sitting quite a ways down the food chain of power on Earth.
The conspiracism of the right (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2534&viewfull=1#post2534) is nearly all bogus or irrelevant, as well as paranoid, while the left is trapped in its structuralism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism).
None of those groups are close to doing anything productive about our dire situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), as they all grind their particular axes. As Brian noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/150-The-Talents-Responsibilities-and-Limitations-of-Intellectuals/page2?p=2404&viewfull=1#post2404), only the “spiritualists” have what it takes to see their way out of this, but they have their own limitations, as it all too often devolves into New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) obscenities and absurdities.

Hi:
Being Ed’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) and Brian’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm) biographer is a job that will likely not end in my lifetime. If good professional biographies are done on their lifetimes (or Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574)), then I can likely rest on the issue. A revised Brian bio is in my future, probably several years out, while I am likely done with Ed for now.
Ed was so prolific an author that I won’t ever find it all. I stumbled on this (https://fpif.org/serb_demonization_as_propaganda_coup/) the other day, and it is classic Ed. Among disinterested parties, Ed’s work is not really controversial, such as here (https://swprs.org/propaganda-in-the-war-on-yugoslavia/). In the criticisms section (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms) of Ed’s bio, I show how dishonest and irrational Ed’s (and Noam’s) critics were, and that article by Ed and a colleague was predictably assailed by another imperial apologist (https://fpif.org/why_yugoslavia_still_matters/), who tried to turn Ed into an apologist for Milosevic. That author hailed the kangaroo court at The Hague (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#icty) (ICTY), and at every turn, he absolved the USA of responsibility (at worst, what the USA did was some kind of “accident (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#mistake)”), when American responsibility was the main point of Ed’s work, as usual (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#stance). Ed replied, here (https://fpif.org/strategic_dialogue_yugoslavia/), and that author still did not get it. Those imperial apologists really have a tired MO, IMO. I find it hard to believe that they can really be that stupid, and not all of them are that stupid, but they hope that their audience is.
For the record, Chris Black (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#black) and Ed had a bit of a disagreement on Milosevic’s death in ICTY custody. Ed stated that the ICTY was definitely responsible for Milosevic’s death, as it refused to allow him medical treatment. Chris wrote, in that book (https://www.amazon.com/Hague-Tribunal-Srebrenica-Miscarriage-Justice/dp/0970919875) that he recently contributed to, that Milosevic was putting up an unexpectedly competent and vigorous defense (which Chris helped mount), and that it was very possible that the ICTY poisoned him. Milosevic was just one of ten people who died under ICTY control so far. It is not only a kangaroo court, but a murderous one, too. Ed did not buy the poisoning possibility, as he didn’t think that the ICTY needed to stoop that far. Ed regularly had differences of opinion with his colleagues, including Noam. Ed was onboard with the idea that JFK was taken out in a conspiracy, while Noam downplayed it, particularly any CIA involvement, when CIA involvement was certain (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower), IMO.
On another note, I stumbled on this quote page from Ed (https://quotepark.com/authors/edward-s-herman/), but as I began reading it, I immediately discovered that it was just my Wikiquotes page on Ed (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Edward_S._Herman). It is nice to see those quotes on their way to Internet immortality.

Hi:
Right after making that post on Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page9?p=2542&viewfull=1#post2542), I discovered that Lydia Sargent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Sargent) died last month. She co-founded South End Press and Z Magazine (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#zmag), which were Ed’s and Noam’s primary publishing conduits for many years, ever since their first joint effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv) was spectacularly censored. Here (https://zcomm.org/znetarticle/lydia-sargent-live-like-her/) is the eulogy from Michael Albert, her business partner for a half-century. Michael, like so many on the Left (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm), is a materialist, which comes through loud and clear in his eulogy. He will be pleasantly surprised one day (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/149-The-Human-Afterlife-and-the-Journey-of-our-Souls?p=2339&viewfull=1#post2339). :)
Awe-inspiring work, Lydia, and you are definitely missed.
See you soon,

Hi:
I can’t speak for others with eidetic memories, but I have always hated rote memorization, and refused to do it. The only exception I can think of was memorizing my lines for acting (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2496&viewfull=1#post2496).
During my first year at Cal Poly, that only class that I got a B (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2501&viewfull=1#post2501) in was probably the most worthless class that I ever took. Management classes in general were worthless, but that class was some kind of survey class, and the textbook was filled with gossip and trivia. Test questions were literally like, “On what page was Lee Iacocca quoted on his opinion of Chrysler?” The only way to get an A was to literally memorize the entire chapter, including the page numbers, and I refused to play along. It was like filling my mind with garbage.
My intermediate accounting classes that year were the “weed out classes (https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/stem-education/2012/04/19/experts-weed-out-classes-are-killing-stem-achievement)” in the accounting curriculum, and are the hardest classes in any accounting program. The accounting theory portion of the CPA exam nearly all came from intermediate accounting classes. For me, those classes were harder than the calculus classes for scientists (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2497&viewfull=1#post2497) that I took. The most conceptually challenging classes were my favorites, but even in my second semester of calculus, the teacher made us memorize calculus trigonometry functions, that was about when I dropped out of my math-science studies, and when that voice would soon talk to me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice).
I recall that when I was six, I made a commitment to never forget those memories from when I was two, and I recall revisiting those memories over the years as I grew up, and how purposefully remembering them seemed to keep them fresh. But, that was the only time that I did something like that. For the rest of my memories, they are just there. Sometimes, I’ll “play” memories about events, when I am looking for something specific, to see if it comes up, and sometimes it will. I can’t do it like I used to, as I become an old man. But having an eidetic memory is pretty involuntary. Also, I burned out on “brain teasers” at about age 10, and have refused to do them ever since. I suppose that some good can come out of that, but I always wanted to use my mind on a meaningful goal, not just to do something that might be exercising some mental muscles.
It was only years later that I came to realize that all of that accounting knowledge that I gained was in the service of a worthless profession (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting). :) I keep score for the capitalists today, and likely will for the rest of my career. That voice has plenty of explaining to do.
I remember how I thought with each of these birthdays: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. Each one was a kind of time-marking exercise for me, as I thought about what was behind me and what might lie ahead. I turned 10 a few months after winning the Serra Elementary spelling bee (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2489&viewfull=1#post2489), and my parents seemed to realize that they had a prodigy on their hands when I was a toddler, but it was not until winning that spelling bee that I began to realize that I was rather talented. But I was still a Boy Scout (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2486&viewfull=1#post2486), and there was really no ego in it for me back then. I was expected to do great things, and I felt a responsibility to live up to it. I overheard my father telling some relatives about my high IQ, around the time that I was placed in my first gifted programs. I think that it put pressure on me to hear that.
My bookworm status (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm) never really changed, and I read everything that I could get my hands on, including the tabloids that my mother brought home from the grocery store, which I gave up at age 13 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102), when a childhood friend’s nuclear physicist father had his son take me to task for reading junk like that. I gave up TV at age 18, which was my mother’s other bad habit that she gave me. The incongruity of my father’s IQ being about twice my mother’s did not strike me while growing up. But after I left home, I increasingly did not have much in common with my mother, and we grew apart.
What is coming on this thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2540&viewfull=1#post2540) are key memories of my lifetime, and how they impacted me. Some impacts were obvious while they happened, while other impacts did not become evident until years later.

Hi:
When I went through my memory box recently (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2540&viewfull=1#post2540), I unsuccessfully looked for a comment that an early-grade teacher made, and maybe in summer school, about my fascination with nature. I’ll probably never know just what all was stolen (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482).
That teacher’s comment might be the earliest hint at where I was heading (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint). In third grade, my parents sent my brother and me to a Saturday morning science class at a museum. During that year in Texas (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2486&viewfull=1#post2486), we visited relatives and two my grandfather’s pals from his World War II days (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas). One relative, my paternal grandmother’s half-sister, had a home on the shores of a lake near Brownsville, Texas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownsville,_Texas). As I recall, that great aunt shot at an animal while we were there, which is typical rural Texan behavior. As we drove the backroads when visiting them, some roads were literally lined with mounds of fossils. I believe that they were Permian fossils, mostly reef remnants, perhaps. How do you keep young boys from that? We eagerly played in fossil mounds, and I found one particularly interesting rock, which seemed to have skin on it. It took it to my Saturday science teacher, and he tentatively identified it. It became a prized possession, and when we moved back to California a few months later, I brought it with me. Not long after we moved to Ventura, my prized fossil rock went missing, and I don’t know if it just got tossed into the garden as worthless, or it was a conscious theft.
I vividly remember the look that my father gave me (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm) when I was in third grade, after an hour-long checkers game with him, when he said that he had a new game to teach me. By the fifth grade, I had read all of the paleontology books at Serra School’s library, and read the World Book Encyclopedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Book_Encyclopedia) each night in bed, as the family library was in my room. By age 12 or so, I could probably recite most of the records in the Guinness Book of World Records (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness_World_Records). I was an information and learning junkie. By about age nine, I read the newspaper daily, which lasted into my early 30s. I stopped reading newspapers altogether by the late 1990s, partly because of the rise of the Internet, and partly because of what I discovered about the “news (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big).” Trying to parse the truth from the lies can be a dismaying and wearying task, and I eventually decided that newspapers just were not worth the time and effort any longer. I understand why Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) kept analyzing the media, and getting Ed’s monthly articles (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#loot) in Z Magazine was infinitely more edifying than reading the paper.
I clearly recall my fascination while reading about my beloved trilobites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#trilobite1), Cambrian seas, and the like. I had toy dinosaurs, mammoths, pterodactyls, and the like, which were not unusual child possessions in those days. I was precocious, but I really did not see myself as any different from my friends and neighbors, in a middle class boomer neighborhood. But that all began to change one June morning, soon after I turned 12, when my mother walked into the kitchen and announced that the corn flakes I was eating were bad for my health. That was my first introduction to alternatives (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons). As I think back to that morning, just how I was different may have been in evidence, as I soon discovered. I did not receive my mother’s comment with indignation, as I literally had my spoon in my mouth, but wanted to know more. I think that I read Stale Food Versus Fresh Food that morning.
At age 12, I was not exactly a candidate for a heart attack, but my father was, and I had no resistance at all to that new diet, and I rarely “cheated.” But, when I began telling friends about our dietary change, I was shocked by the indignant reactions. They called it crazy, and the like, and they really did not want to know more. That was in Southern California, where all fads started, and healthy diets became a fad. In 1976, a song about a secret junk food junkie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junk_Food_Junkie#:~:text=%22Junk%20Food%20Junkie%22%20is%20a%201976%20novelty%20song,100.%20It%20was %20Groce%27s%20only%20song%20to%20chart.) became a hit, and I was teased about my diet into my 30s, and in Ohio, as a vegetarian (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm), I was treated like a celebrity of sorts. Nobody in Ohio was threatened by my habits. It was more like I was a mythical creature that people had heard of in legend, and they finally got to see one. It was gently amusing by that time. More than 40 years after reading Stale Food Versus Fresh Food, and a generation after it was banned in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#banned), I discovered that mainstream medicine adopted the advice in that banned book (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#mayo). Seeing that arc, as well as with my fasting practices (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/109-The-Medical-Racket?p=2097&viewfull=1#post2097), as they are now in vogue, and vegetarian foods are the hot new capitalist play (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page3?p=2101&viewfull=1#post2101), are some of the more amazing experiences of my lifetime, as I watched marginalized, ridiculed, and banned practices go mainstream.

Hi:
I stopped trying to interest anybody in my life in alternative medical treatments many years ago. Those experiences with alternative (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2545&viewfull=1#post2545) diets, when I was 12, began to prepare me for how people react to anything out of the mainstream, and I never was successful with getting anybody with degenerative diseases to try an alternative, even those who had been given death sentences by orthodox medicine. I watched them embrace certain death (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#doom) over even questioning their indoctrination, which I soon came to realize was normal. When my former assistant (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page23?p=2139&viewfull=1#post2139) asked me what I would have done, with her diagnosis, I was surprised that she would even ask. I threw her some names, but really didn’t expect her to do anything with them. She didn’t, and was dead six months later.
A longtime pal, who arranged my first visit to Gilliland’s ranch (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm#visit2005), has a wife who was diagnosed with breast cancer six months ago. He asked me back then what alternatives were available, although he did not expect his wife, a nurse, to try any of them. I gave him my usual suggestions of Gaston Naessens (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens), Ralph Moss’s investigations (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#moss), etc.
Now, six months later, after the usual brutal methods of orthodox therapy (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket) and no improvement, of course, his wife is now willing to maybe add some alternatives on top of the orthodox treatments. He asked me yesterday what I could recommend, I found myself surfing a little, and discovered that Gaston passed on in 2018 (https://fightnewsunlimited.com/tag/ralph-moss/), at the ripe age of 94. I spoke with his wife for an hour back in 1997, as Gaston never spoke good English. Ralph investigated Gaston a generation ago (http://www.ralphmoss.com/html/naessens1.shtml), and was impressed, and there is plenty out there (http://whale.to/cancer/naessens.html) on Gaston’s discoveries and treatment.
Fare you well, Gaston,

Hi:
Every few months, I pop into the exceptional NDE stash (https://www.nderf.org/Archives/exceptional.html) that is continually updated. While this one (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1estelle_d_nde.html) was good, this one (https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1sandi_t_ndes.html) was truly exceptional, not only for the multiple NDEs, but the “galactic tour” last account on that page. The “God’s gratitude that we came here to be physical” theme is not too unusual (Brinkley (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brinkley) had a similar message, for instance).
I wrote a little (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page3?p=2528&viewfull=1#post2528) on the evolution camps recently, and while I know that materialism is a false faith, I also don’t buy a lot of the intelligent design stuff that I see. Both camps often suffer from the limitations of their faiths. I doubt that evolutionary theory in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will have much resemblance to what we see today. If some of our nearby galactic neighbors are humanoid, it brings up profound questions. I think the first would be if we are related, in that they helped seed humanity on Earth or intervened in our evolutionary journey. If so, that is going to have major impacts on evolutionary theory, and it is mindboggling to consider. If there is some kind of preferred form for biological life to take, guided by higher planes of existence, that will be equally mindboggling. How much of the universe’s life has something like DNA in it? The people in that heavenly Roads world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) knew many of those answers.
Until we can actually study such life, it is all a bunch of speculation. I hear plenty of stories, but they are just stories, until the evidence can be examined, if it can be examined. I think that it is indisputable that evolution happens on Earth, and that Darwin got a lot right, more than he could have imagined, while he also got plenty wrong, such as denying that mass extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctions) happened. But that does not mean that materialism is valid, or that Bible-banging “science” is valid.
I don’t know how many of my questions on these subjects will be answered in my lifetime, or if I am even brought in on the joke on the other side, but they are subjects that people can chew on for the rest of their lives, and profitably. It is the process that is important, IMO, not the current state of the science.

Wade

Hi Bill (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1385581&viewfull=1#post1385581):
That is a huge subject. Peter Ward recently wrote a book titled Lamarck’s Revenge (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/22-Chapter-15-Mid-Essay-Reflection?p=1519&viewfull=1#post1519), as epigenetics makes its rise. I sure don’t know what the answer is, but I suspect it is something along these lines…
Evolution is real, and there is a real physical basis to it, but DNA mutations are only part of the story. As far as embryo development goes, today’s science knows hardly anything at all. They found part of the blueprint with DNA, but that says nothing about any architect (materialists believe that there is not one) or how the workers go about pounding those nails. DNA’s primary purpose is being a blueprint for making proteins. Cranking out proteins says very little about how cells and organisms are constructed.
Epigenetics is a new area of evolutionary controversy, and we’ll see how much Lamarck might be vindicated. For the record, Lamarck is one a long line of scientists who were viciously attacked by their peers, and he died a ruined man, which is the reason for the title of Ward’s book. The giraffe example is a Lamarckian classic, and my guess is that it is not just all chance mutation and selective pressure, which is the orthodox position today. Darwinian theory is probably quite valid on the survival of the fittest, but the issue of the arrival of the fittest is the key area of contention these days, and Lamarckian theory is part of that milieu. Again, this is all fascinating, and I doubt that those controversies will be resolved in my lifetime, unless, of course, the ETs land on the White House lawn. :)

Hi:
On that “ETs on the White House lawn” scenario (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/16-Chapter-9-Speciation-Extinction-and-Mass-Extinctions?p=2548&viewfull=1#post2548)…
If that day happens, evolutionary theory will certainly be up for reappraisal, and we’ll see how much of today’s body of theory survives, but all of that pales to insignificance compared to the technologies that the ETs used to get here. That is going to be the primary transformative aspect of that scenario; the rest only changes our story, not the way we live.
That is why I try to not pay too much attention to the ET circus. A great deal of it is disinformation, paranoia, denial, and the rest, and largely a distraction.
I am not that interested in how our story will change, and am not that interested in whether captured ET technology was behind my friend’s show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). What matters to me is that those technologies exist, and what their transformative potential is. The rest is noise. That is where a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) can help understand what the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) means, as well as rank issues in their importance. Next to free energy and the attendant technologies, everything else in human affairs pales to insignificance. The GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) understand this well, which is why they have the lid so tightly on this stuff. The ET issue is primarily kept under wraps as a way to keep those technologies under wraps. If one comes out, the other will closely follow, which is why they are joined at the hip.
We are seeing what looks like limited hangout behavior on the ET issue lately, and we’ll see what comes of it. I pay some attention to it, but not all that much, and today’s electoral circus has simply nothing to do with it, as any sitting president is a puppet (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). Trump is not the white knight on a steed that will save the day, and I don’t even want to talk about Biden. :)

Hi:
Back to my memories (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2540&viewfull=1#post2540). I am a boomer, and a member of history’s most privileged demographic group – white educated American men – and raised in an idyllic California beach town, so life must have been good, right? In many ways, it was. But in others, not so much. When I look back at the racist and bigoted environment (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life/page2?p=2531&viewfull=1#post2531) that I was raised in, I have to shake my head. My memories of JFK’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean) and RFK’s assassinations were stark ones, as were the deaths of the Apollo 1 astronauts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#apollo1). I have to admit that MLK’s assassination was not as big a deal in my life or of those around me. I am sure that racism had something to do with that. That my great nation was engaging in genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early) on peasant societies was lost on me when I was 10. At 10, for some reason, my mother took me to Berkeley’s campus on the way to Washington, for our usual summer trip, and I remember watching cops dragging a woman through the main square (a clock tower was nearby), but I did not understand what I was seeing.
I did not learn that Saint Serra (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra) was California’s equivalent of Hitler until I was in my 30s, nor did I have any understanding of the bloody “settling (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english)” of my great nation until my 30s, after I had been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) and began hitting the books (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739).
My father was unhappy working for the Navy, my brother a year younger than me was smarter than me, but with a criminal mind, and in a few years, when my youngest brother began kindergarten, it became obvious that he was a special needs child. His IQ is somewhere around 80, if I had to guess, and maybe a little lower. The genetic roulette that my parents played had some bad outcomes. My special needs brother has had a lifetime of misery, and my criminal brother became a fringe-dweller. I was the Boy Scout (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2486&viewfull=1#post2486) and family hero, but my memories of life before high school are not really all that happy, and I am sure that that all contributed. As I reached high school, it really was the beginning of leaving home, and my life became a lot happier.
It was during my first year in high school that I got my energy dreams (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), followed by my eye-opening trip to Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2495&viewfull=1#post2495), and then my mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) a few months later. 1974 was a pivotal year in my life, and “coincidentally” when humanity’s greatest period of prosperity ended (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline). I used to be able to do it, and I have not tried to for many years and doubt that I can any longer, but I used to be able to remember every day of that European tour, in some detail. One memory that stands out is when I was sitting in the lobby of our hotel in Paris, after a week in Europe, and it felt like I had been there a year, as I was processing so much. The next summer, my first day at Boys State (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2497&viewfull=1#post2497) felt like a week.
But, probably the most spectacular memory of those days was when I watched that woman raise her hand (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown) and say that Isaac Brown was missing the end of the index finger that she raised. I can still see her doing that, and I remember my awestruck surprise upon seeing it. I was on my way to becoming a scientist/materialist only a week earlier.
My worldview irreversibly changed in that moment, and I did not know it yet, but I was ruined as a mainstream scientist from that moment forward. When it was my turn, and I diagnosed my case’s medical condition as a stroke that paralyzed her right side, when all I had to go on was her name, age, sex, and city of residence, it seemed kind of normal to be able to do that.
I can’t overemphasize what a divide that moment was. I have only had a few others in my life, which are coming before this thread is finished, and some are even more spectacular, such as the times that that voice spoke to me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3), and 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). All of those happened by age 30, and everything since then has been the small stuff, except probably for meeting Brian and being introduced to Ed’s work, but I was 32 when I began reading Ed’s work, and I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet) the next year. So, the past 30 years have been fairly uneventful in my life, and I suppose it has been compensation of a sort, but not without its challenges.
Best,

Hi:
When that voice first spoke to me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), there was a pattern to its arrival that I recognized the second time it spoke to me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). In both instances, I felt backed into a corner by events, and only prayed for the voice in desperation. The first time, I had no idea what would happen, or if anything would happen.
On one hand, it felt like I was being manipulated into those dark corners, and I was always a little resentful of that, but it brought me to that place of being all out of inspiration, after trying everything, and praying for help. I’ll never forget the first time I heard that voice, with my first waking thought, when I was 19. “Have you ever thought of studying business?” was a completely alien thought in my head. Some people actually hear a voice (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#voice), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#voice)). For me, it was just alien thoughts in my head, and Dennis likely had a similar experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice). In none of those events was it heard in some kind of exalted state, but in normal waking awareness, although under extreme circumstances each time, although mine was nowhere as extreme as those others I just linked to.
I guess that when I heard it the third and last time (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3), I was kind of in an exalted state, as I had just prayed with all my might for Mr. Professor’s soul, saw him in his heaven (and he sent me an undeniable message from there), and I saw him, accompanied by his mother and two angels (they were columns of light, with the angels about twice as tall as Mr. Professor and his mother), as his widow said goodbye to his body. When that voice took “credit” for leading me to Mr. Professor, as I stood next to his dead body, that was some tough medicine! Mr. Professor came through at his grave 11 years later (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#grave), in what I quickly understood was his way of trying to assuage my pain. I still don’t want to hear from that voice again. No more suicide missions, thank you. And with eidetic memory, I get to see it all, whether I want to or not, in technicolor. In a way, it has been a form of torture.
Over the years, people have stated how blessed I was to be guided like that. Well, if I was, then that voice sure demanded a lot, as my life was soon ruined, along with the lives of many others. I saw many wrecked and shortened lives, and I had to wonder what it all was for. To a significant degree, my efforts are carrying on for Mr. Professor, Brian, and Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures). But, I am also chasing the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Sometimes I step back and take that in, and realize that the voice was all about leading me there, and wrecked and shortened lives seem to come with the territory. God and I are going to have a little chat about that after I pass over. Does it really need to be this way? A few heroes sacrifice their lives for a humanity that is unaware and simply does not care about anything (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) other than their immediate self-interest?
Actually, I don’t think that it has to be that way, which is where my choir idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) came from. If relatively few people can reach productive awareness on this issue and sing in chorus, the Fifth Epoch is not far away. But can they get there without going through the free energy meat grinder? That is still what I am trying to find out. I think that with people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), who were not wrecked by their journeys and can do the work, it is possible. I do not seek more candidates for my personal pantheon (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042). There are not enough of them on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#heroes) for the hero’s approach to work, and that has its own downsides (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1). I am trying to form something far more modest, which can only help, should not hurt anybody, if the gung-ho newbies can heed my advice and stay out of trouble (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and it might be the critical missing piece.
When that voice speaks to you, you never forget it. It stays high in your memory, as an extraordinary moment. For me, what that voice led me to was kind of hard to believe, as I got to chase my teenage dream (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). I can’t regret any of it, but I only had one life to wreck on a journey like this, and I continually pick up the pieces of my shattered life. One day, I may be able to tell it all publicly, but a few more people have to die before I can. Oh, the memories!
Next up will be memories after college graduation, on the way to being led to Dennis.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As an addendum to my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2551&viewfull=1#post2551), when I write of my personal pantheon (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042) and those who laid their lives on the line, there are really not many of those. Dennis towers above the rest, as the Indiana Jones of free energy, who should be dead dozens of times over. Mr. Professor comes in next, as he truly sacrificed his life. Alison is up there, and Dennis’s assistant who replaced me is nearly at that level.
Brian, Ralph, Gary, and Rodney Stich all sacrificed their lives, although, like the rest of us, they really did not know what they were getting into. Late in his life, Brian said that if he had any idea of what he was getting into, he would have kept sipping his Ivy League sherry (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sherry) instead. Those crucified doctors and scientists also rank up there, and they also did not realize what they were getting into. None of us really did.
For all of their greatness of spirit, Ed, Noam, and Howard really did not play at those levels. They are still in my pantheon, however. The rest of them that I listed in that post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042) are not really at the pantheon level, but still acquitted themselves relatively honorably.
My point is that there are just not enough people on Earth for the heroic approach to have a prayer of success.

Hi:
Last night, I watched parts of Shoah (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoah_(film)), which I watched in the theater in 1986 in Seattle, when I first worked for Dennis. At over nine hours in total, it was shown over three nights. I bought the Blue Ray, almost for the nostalgic value, but also because I can’t seem to get enough of studying World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good), the Holocaust (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward), those NASA Nazis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis?p=2170&viewfull=1#post2170), and the like.
In LA, I subscribed to Christian Science Monitor (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), thinking that I was getting a thoughtful take on the news. So, in looking back, I can see that I was trying to awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765), before my radicalizing ride with Dennis. That Easter Bunny question (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing) about my profession was also an early sign that I was trying to awaken. As I have written, I saw many people around me, during my ride with Dennis, who didn’t really understand what was happening, and they didn’t want to understand. If people awaken depends on whether they want to awaken. People have the choice to refuse to see what is evident. Nobody is as blind as somebody who refuses to see. I see awakening as a combination of willingness, ability, and opportunity. That willingness hinges on that rarest of commodities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). If a person is not willing to awaken, the rest won’t matter.
When I got my first post-collegiate job, at that small CPA firm (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2506&viewfull=1#post2506), I quickly had a headache for every waking hour. I thought that it was somehow my reaction to living in the Seattle winter, after 20 years of living in sunny California, but as soon as they fired me, the headache went away. I now know that it was my first stress reaction. CPA firms are brutal places to work. I would go on to having much worse stress problems in LA. Downtown Seattle was a land of the homeless when I got out of college. The name “Skid Row (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_row)” was coined in Seattle, as logs were skidded down the street to the water of Puget Sound, for transport. But what I saw in Seattle was tame, compared to what I encountered in LA.
In LA, I was thrust into LA’s Skid Row (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_Row,_Los_Angeles), and worked there for six months. In August 1983, it was smog season, when LA’s air pollution was legendary. When I drove into downtown LA then, I could not see the skyscraper that I worked in until I was less than a mile away. Some days, from the 27th floor where I worked, I could only see for a few blocks from the windows. That summer of 1983, when I did not stop at my office and kept going for several more blocks into Skid Row, was like driving into hell. From an idyllic beach town, from bucolic San Luis Obispo (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2507&viewfull=1#post2507), from the forests of the Northwest, to Skid Row Los Angeles, was one hell of a shock.
I have written on how I burst into tears one morning (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), driving into Skid Row, after a month of it. I don’t know what happened, but after that morning, working in Skid Row never bothered me again. It became “normal,” but that is also when my drinking problems began to blossom. One of my starkest memories of my Skid Row days was turning the corner, across the street from where I worked, on the way to lunch, to nearly stumble over a dead body. That dead Mexican-American man was the first dead body that I ever saw, as I altered my path to step around him. He died of blunt force trauma to his head. What is probably most memorable about it is that we kept walking for another 50 yards to enter the eatery, and we didn’t even talk about what we just saw. You just didn’t talk about the daily horrors that you saw in Skid Row. Each day held the promise of some new horror or moment of disgust.
I have written plenty about the racist and bigoted environment that I was raised in (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life/page2?p=2531&viewfull=1#post2531), and I was far past that by my LA days. In that first stint in Skid Row (I had a few in those years), I helped audit LA’s redevelopment agency (https://auditor.lacounty.gov/redevelopment-agency-history/), which was in the heart of Skid Row, about a block away from the Greyhound Bus station. My CPA firm could not legally perform the audit by itself, but a “minority” auditor had to partner with us. When I walked past the dead body, it was with the woman that represented the minority firm. She was a nice black woman, about my age, who got an accounting degree at a disreputable program. We used her for the audit’s most menial tasks, and she was getting essentially no training or career development, kind of on the accounting plantation, as her firm hired her out to audits like ours. It seemed like a scam to me, and one day at lunch, she asked me if her tenure with us, working alongside one of the big firms, would enhance her career. In my honest, nerdish way, I gave her the talk that nobody else would give her – she was just being used by her firm and the system, to comply with an empty law. A few years after that, I began to realize that our entire profession was worthless (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting). We only kept honest companies honest.
To this day, I am the only former auditor that I know of who wrote anything like this (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#savings). Ed once mentioned that fatal conflict of interest at the profession’s heart, and he and I are the only two people that I know of who wrote about that. So, our professional lives overlapped long before I became his biographer (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm).
So, those memories of my life immediately after college are hints of where I was heading before I met Dennis. But, I truly believe that if I had not met Dennis, I would have never awakened like I did, and I would likely not have much worth saying.
It was also in those years when I heard of the secret life of a close relative who was a contract CIA agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), who nearly tried to recruit me into the business.
I have found myself raiding those memories of those early years before I met Dennis, seeing how I was struggling to awaken, and I can clearly recall how I thought in those days, particularly during key moments, and what I thought as they happened.
My LA days were my life’s unhappiest years, I got away to the mountains (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#bishop) whenever I could, and I can tell that my “friends” were setting me up for my ride with Dennis. For all that I experienced in my life until that voice told me to move to Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), I had yet to see anything. The real class was about to begin.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
It is not easy to see ourselves as others see us, whether their perceptions are valid or not. I was an emotionally centered (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading) prodigy, who was expected to do great things (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2497&viewfull=1#post2497), a member of history’s most privileged demographic group (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2550&viewfull=1#post2550), raised in a racist and bigoted environment (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life/page2?p=2531&viewfull=1#post2531), in the crazily competitive USA. In some ways, I must have been a trip to be around. I am in the autism spectrum, a social misfit in ways, but also a Boy Scout (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2486&viewfull=1#post2486). I had criminal and special needs brothers, a father who hated his career, a mother who was overmatched, as soon my criminal brother reached adolescence, and I was the family hero. I didn’t really sign up for the job, but it kind of fell to me.
I got into track (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2502&viewfull=1#post2502) because I was chasing a girl, and went to the university (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2501&viewfull=1#post2501), chasing another girl. I was not exactly planning my life very consciously. :) When I graduated, with record test scores and the like, the LA accounting firms rolled out the red carpet for me, but I wanted to live in Seattle and hike instead. My career was not really that important to me. But I picked the worst recession in 40 years to graduate from college (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2506&viewfull=1#post2506), and was soon crawling back to California, defeated, to begin my career. My Cal Poly department chair got me an interview with the computer consulting division of Arthur Andersen (called Accenture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accenture) today), but I was about one programming course short of being qualified, at least in their eyes. I would have been brilliant in that career path, and I have always been an “IT-tweener” in my career, doing system design and the like, but only the high-level IT people had much appreciation for my talent. I was usually smarter than my bosses, and because my innovations saved them money, they usually let me play my IT games. But they could not really understand my big breakthroughs (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes). I tried to take my company “paperless” in the back office, a generation before it became hip to do so. They didn’t even understand what I was talking about, and soon went out of business. I could have saved them, but instead saw thousands of lives impacted, some of which were wrecked.
But, upon graduation, at my first job and in LA, some colleagues called me stupid. Not only did they call me stupid, but it harmed my career almost before it got started, and I encountered that “you are stupid” attack clear into my 40s. I was in the big leagues at times, and I was around plenty of smart people, but stupid, me? I finally realized that it was just the shark tank environment that I was in, in corporate America, and it gave me some ego issues. It was kind of crazy that I had to establish my intelligence with those people, particularly when I look back and realize that I had most of them by a long ways on the intelligence scale. Mr. Mentor (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) encountered similar behavior, from people who could not tie his intellectual shoes. It was just how the game was played in the shark tank.
Almost immediately after college graduation, I stopped playing competitive anything. I hated how constantly competing ruined me in ways. In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), people will not compete with each other much, if at all. It took me many years to really learn the roots of where all of that crazy competition came from, of a world of a few winners (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity2), and the rest losers. It goes back to the roots of why social animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason) are social. In our world, there is only so much energy to go around, and in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), competition and survival is the name of the game. Today, in history’s richest and most powerful nation, its 59 richest citizens have as much wealth (https://nypost.com/2020/10/08/just-59-americans-own-more-wealth-than-half-the-country-data/) as the poorest half of its citizenry. The system is broken in surreal fashion, and Americans have no idea of the awesome price that that disparity produces. The GCs are capitalism on steroids (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#steroids), and all of humanity is enslaved to their dark agenda, as we make Earth uninhabitable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). And good luck with finding people who know much or care much about that situation. It has been a walk through the desert, looking for them.
Around the time I graduated, somebody called me a “know-it-all (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/know-it-all),” and it had some validity, because I did want to know it all, and still do. Why wouldn’t somebody want to know as much about their world as they could? Or at least try? It was initially dismaying to find out how few really wanted to know. They almost always sold out their sentience for a full belly, and the laughter at my “Easter Bunny (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing)” question was not only a classic indicator of how out of place I was, but also where the mainstream of such “smart” people was. The name of the game was self-interest.
I got street-smart, and fast, in Skid Row (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2553&viewfull=1#post2553). My life depended on it. Walking around in Skid Row at night was a terrifying experience (I only had to do it once, as I recall, and that was plenty). I look back at those days, and can tell the cognitive dissonance (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive) I was going through, as an idealist (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist) thrust into hell. I tried to make sense of it all, but I was quite naïve (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), too. I was really a fish out of water, and still am, to a great degree, keeping score for the capitalists.
So, my LA days gave me a drinking problem, some ego issues, and in my last year in LA, at least for that stint, I could not get a full lung of air. I was constantly gasping for air. During my second “busy season” (the winter months), I got that condition, but it went away when the busy season ended. It came back in my third busy season, did not go away when the season ended, and I had that problem for the entire next year. I finally went to a doctor that I knew from my social life. After his examination, he said that I had classic stress symptoms, and he advised me to quit my job or else face a physical catastrophe. But the next busy season was about to begin, and it was disloyal to the company to quit then. You were supposed to quit after the busy season, not right before it. I was still crazy loyal to the place that gave me my health problems. But I was also a complete failure as an auditor: I just couldn’t play the game, and my stress problems were frying my brain. I did not understand that frank admission by that partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#independence), the year before, about the worthlessness of our profession. That did not become clear until a few years later, after I had been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765).
In looking back, I can tell that my “friends” were setting me up, and I have very mixed feelings about that. I finally got to understand how our world generally worked, and it can be the booby prize. Not many can come to that understanding and retain their sanity and willingness to carry on. I have witnessed many casualties over the years.
But in that shark tank, some did care about me, and Alan (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting) tried to look out for me. But I was kind of dead meat already, as he gathered me in on that bank audit for the second year. I was a complete wreck by that time, and in January 1986, it came to a head, and we had a frank talk. I would not be promoted that spring, and it was up or out in the big firms, but Alan said that my loyalty would be rewarded, and when we returned to LA, I could stay at home and look for work as long as it took. When I went back to my apartment that evening, I was giddy, with a great sense of relief, and as I reached my apartment and reached in my pocket for the keys that I had on a separate key chain (my “audit” key chain), they were missing. At that moment, I knew that something was up. It was the only time in my life that I ever lost my keys. I knew that my “friends” were messing with me, but I did not know why or what was up, and my radar was up as I retraced my steps, to find my keys. I searched my car and the path to my apartment, and the next step was driving back to the parking lot at the office, several miles away, and continue the search there. As I drove into the parking lot, on that rainy night, that hooker ran toward my car (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=911220&highlight=deena#post911220). I may have saved her life. That began a month-long dance (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hooker), of me and the hooker, as I spent $1,000 on her.
As I look back, I think that it was the final test by my “friends,” before they led me to Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). I lived through those events, and can still hardly believe that they happened.
I have written at great length about my ride with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), and don’t need to rehash much of that territory, but I am going to recall those key moments of my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why), and what I felt and thought as they happened. I have not quite done that before.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
To my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2554&viewfull=1#post2554) on how I never lost my keys in my life, other than that fateful night, I am attaching the evidence of it. That is my key chain today. The “chain” is a grenade ring. I believe it was 1974, either just before or just after my trip to Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2495&viewfull=1#post2495), when my father gave me that relic from his Marine days (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2483&viewfull=1#post2483), to hold my keys, as I began to learn to drive in those days. I have been a pacifist since around age 19, when that voice first spoke to me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), and to carry around a war relic in my pocket for the past 46 years has been one of my life’s many ironies. I obviously never lost my keys.
As I think back to my youth, I now recall that before I was given that key ring, I wore my house key around a string on my neck. I am not sure how long I did that, but I have a vague memory of that style of carrying around a key or two, before my father gave me that grenade ring.

It is not easy to see ourselves as others see us, whether their perceptions are valid or not.

It is not my intention to start interrupting your thread Wade but I wondered if you were aware of Robbie Burns ode To a Louse (http://www.robertburns.org/works/97.shtml)
The last verse reproduced below
O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion:
What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
An' ev'n devotion!
I also had a near miraculous finding of a lost key - on a wild common of long grasses. :)

Apologies, I never considered you would not decypher it, here is a translation for you.
O wad some Power the giftie gie us - Oh would some power the gift give us - Appeal to a higher power
To see oursels as ithers see us! - To see ourselves as others see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us, It would from many a blunder free us,

Hi:
It seems that I can read books on my Kindle faster than I can the paper versions, which is a pleasant surprise. In the past nine days, I read these two books (1 (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51576107-the-last-druid), 2 (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44287159-wild-life)). The first pretty much ends Terry Brooks’s career as a novelist, another romantic fantasy author who moved to the Pacific Northwest. I read The Sword of Shannara in 1979, at my college roommate’s recommendation, and have read each Shannara book when it came out ever since. That is my longest tenure as an author’s regular reader, probably only rivaled by reading Ed’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), which I read nearly every month, from 1990 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#loot) to when he died in 2017 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death). Brooks is no Tolkien, but I looked forward to each new book, and I’ll miss waiting for the next one. Now, I wait for Brandon Sanderson’s latest (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49021976-rhythm-of-war) (whom I discovered when he was chosen to complete Robert Jordan’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jordan) masterwork), which comes out in a few weeks. We’ll see if I live long enough to finish his masterwork. I have to supplement my heavy reading material with fantasy, as it helps keep me balanced (as well as hiking). I am a member of the legions patiently waiting for Rothfuss (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Rothfuss) to finally get his act together and finish his trilogy.
That second book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44287159-wild-life) that I finished last night was extraordinary. It was written by a woman who grew up at the camp that her parents used to study baboons in the Okavango Delta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okavango_Delta) in Botswana. It was four hours travel to the nearest town, and an hour to their nearest neighbor. The author, Keena Roberts (https://keenaroberts.com/), largely grew up in Africa, as her parents studied primates, first in Kenya, and then the last 11 years at what they called Baboon Camp. Her early years at Baboon Camp, beginning when she was eight, were idyllic, and her parents used her as a research assistant from that age. I was precocious (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), but I can hardly believe Keena’s precociousness. When she was eight, her parents judged her capable of helping them, she was treated like an adult from that age, and she kept a journal, documenting her adventures with baboons, lions, hippos, elephants, crocodiles, etc. People were killed (a tourist) and eaten (a guide, and a research assistant barely survived a leopard attack) while she lived there, and as she looked back as an adult, she realized how insanely dangerous their lives were, living amongst the African megafauna, without any means of protection. But she knew how to spot lions (and always be ready to climb a tree), how to speed past hippos on the delta, before they could bite her boat in two, how to avoid man-eating crocodiles, and the like. Her book could bring tears to my eyes, especially when she had to drive their boat, with her younger sister as her passenger, to their neighbor’s camp, when she was 10, as she sped past the hippos and crocodiles, all so that some vacationing executives could have enough beer for their stay.
Africa retained its megafauna because humans evolved there, and Africa’s megafauna learned to avoid humans. The megafauna in Australia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) and the Americas (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#westernmegafauna) never had a chance, once humans arrived. That comes through clearly in Roberts’s book, as the megafauna generally avoided the smell of humans, so Baboon Camp was not overrun, at least in those idyllic early years. They did not encounter many elephants or lions near camp at first, but megafauna populations increasingly migrated into the area, and warfare in nearby Zimbabwe, which generated refugees, as well as Botswana’s AIDS epidemic, inexorably changed life in Botswana, and it impacted the camp. On her last stay there, in 2003, when she was 19 and going to Harvard, she was nearly killed by a lion, and they dismantled the camp that year.
Her days at Baboon Camp were incredible, every adventurous child’s dream, but each year, she had to return with her parents to Philadelphia, where they were college professors (where Ed taught, and I encountered her parents’ work in my studies), and stay at least a few months before heading back to Baboon Camp. She was at home at Baboon Camp, and had her biggest problems with fitting in at her private school in Philadelphia, where her fellow students often treated her like a freak from the jungle. She could not wait to go back to her real home at Baboon Camp. I’ll take memories of her account of Baboon Camp to my grave.
I have a primatologist relative who led safaris in Africa, another worked at Dian Fossey’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dian_Fossey) compound and even slept in her bed, during a gorilla census (and her encounter with a silverback is the stuff of legend), as they spent years in Kenya, but the Baboon Camp tales are astounding.

Hi:
When I heard of my close relative’s secret life as a CIA contract agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), it was years after I lived with him. I heard it from another relative, who only knew about it because an operation blew up, bodyguards and the like got involved, my relative was then brought into it, and told me about it years later. I stayed silent about it for many years afterward. It was a several hour conversation, in which I just listened, and when I heard that he nearly tried to recruit me into the business, I was relieved at the time that I wasn’t asked. Years later, when I began to understand what the CIA was all about, I thanked my lucky stars that I was not subjected to a recruiting effort. I doubt it would have worked, but I also am happy that I did not have to find out.
When you hear something like that, when the account goes into great detail, with anecdotes and life-wrecking dynamics, and from an impeccable source, it can be something else to digest it. It was eye-opening at first, but as the years went by and I understood more, I became pretty angry at how my relative’s life had been ruined. He likely never figured out the evil that he was part of, and he essentially drank himself into an early grave.
When I heard Dennis’s story in Indochina (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=778&viewfull=1#post778), several years later, and heard other Vietnam vet stories over the years, I could barely imagine what they lived through, all for the evil empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection). Not only were they sworn to secrecy, which was part of the job, and I only got to hear about it long after the events, but they also were not proud of their service, and tried to forget it. The veil of secrecy was not that hard to enforce, as they did not want to talk about, and did not really want to remember it. One close pal I knew for many years, and only heard from another friend of the operations that he was involved in in Vietnam, manning the machine gun in an “off the books” operation. I have heard tales of desertion, torturing captives to death (and worse (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#interrogate)), killing them with one’s bare hands, and the like from pals and relatives. There is no way that the American suffering compared to that of the residents of Indochina, as multiple genocides were inflicted on them (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early), but it was pretty grim to witness the toll that it took on the perpetrators, who were usually duped or forced into it.
I took that all in, and it helped form my worldview. If you had told me that my own stories would be even more unbelievable, I would have suggested that maybe somebody else could have those experiences. :) Since 1990, I have tried to live a relatively quiet life, with varying levels of success. I could have done without getting dragged back into the game by Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting) and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), but I couldn’t help myself, and am so happy that I rejected the last offers that Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife) and Brian made to me. Doing interviews (http://ahealedplanet.net/public.htm#interviews) was OK, and I’ll likely do more before long, but building the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir?p=81&viewfull=1#post81) is all that I am interested in anymore.

Hi:
I often find myself rereading that recent book on vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484). It is a supremely logical tour of the vaccination issue, as it clearly points out the many irrationalities of vaccination, and a quote is in order (from page 17):
“This brings me to an obvious point: if vaccines were equal to the extravagant claims made for them, if they were truly effective in conferring a genuine immunity similar to that of coming down with and recovering from the natural disease, then the unvaccinated kids would pose a danger only to themselves, based on a free choice of their own making.”
That is a crux of the issue. Vaccines do not work like their proponents allege, but they want to force compliance, to make vaccination compulsory, to supposedly save people from themselves, even for mild childhood diseases such as measles. Fluoridation is compulsory in my great nation, and try to find an alternative cancer treatment in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#free). The Land of the Free, indeed. That is the Orwellian nature of this entire affair, as something that is not safe or effective is forced on populations for their own “good,” which “coincidentally” is a huge windfall for polluters (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory) and Big Pharma, which hides the “science” of their treatments behind a veil of secrecy. It is much worse than the days of proprietary medicine (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#proprietary) and snake oil, but is sold as the epitome of medicine. It is completely insane, and a dark pather’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) dream.
It is just one of many areas like this. Global Warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797) is a very real existential issue for humanity, as a record hurricane season winds down, and I have come to accept that I am going to have to deal with annual fire-season smoke (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2456&viewfull=1#post2456), which will ruin my hiking plans. Perhaps the most surreal part of my journey today is that I know that the technology that not only makes that threat disappear, almost overnight, is not only on the planet and older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but I have yet to find one Global Warming alarmist with the slightest interest in the solution that dwarfs everything else. That reality crashes their intellectual houses of cards, and they are quite content to hack at branches that go nowhere. Almost daily now, I read about some “bright idea” in alternative energy or how to combat Global Warming, and it is just a rehash of the stuff that Brian advocated nearly 50 years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall), before he realized it was all too little and too late, which is where his “none of the above (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Brian_O'Leary#The_Energy_Solution_Revolution,_2009)” writings came from.
On that note, I find that I need to make the unique nature of what I am doing very clear. Virtually everybody in the so-called political class has their awareness focused on the elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), and that is not the focus of my work. I simply do not care about the elites. They will vanish in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), they know this, and that is the primary reason behind their organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). The Left denies the existence of the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), for ideological reasons (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion), while the Right obsesses on them, but the conspiracist fare that I am bombarded with is nearly all invalid, paranoid, tabloid-level raving and disinformation. I am so tired of seeing all of the speculations on what the Black and White Hats are doing, and most of the stories out there are either outright lies or fantasies, with no objective evidence for them at all. It is like arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
All that people can do is cheer or boo, and that the Right sees Trump as some kind of hero is bizarre (and Biden might even be worse). Trump is a megalomaniac and always has been. God, why do people put their faith in him, and concoct these QAnon fantasies? It is the adult equivalent of waiting for Santa to come down the chimney. The GCs don’t even care who the American president is, as that office is so far down the food chain of power on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). I am doing something that is a 180-degree turn from stuff like that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus). But people can’t go there if they think like victims, and all of the denial or obsession around the elite is victim-oriented thinking. It is time to think like creators, and creators create with love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). Moving from victim-consciousness to creator-consciousness might be the most difficult feat on Earth, but I seek those who are there or want to get there. They are the only hope that my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) has.
Time to begin my busy day.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have many memories of what a fish out of water I was in LA. A few times, I was able to state my aspirations, and I did it once to my counseling manager. When I began at that CPA firm, I was assigned mentors, one manager and one partner, to groom my career. I was such a misfit. I had to give up my vegetarian ways (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm) to work there, as we were forced to eat at restaurants every day, and being a homosexual was more acceptable than being a vegetarian back then, so I gave it up. Drinking alcohol was expected, and my firm was known as the “work hard, play hard” big accounting firm. I could have “partied” nearly every evening, as there was always some kind of social event to attend, and many were compulsory. That is how I developed my drinking problem, which I did not finally conquer until the year 2000.
We were coerced into giving to the United Way charity, and encouraged to join local charities, to “give back” to the community, but it was really to establish business contacts. The repeated scandals around United Way (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Way_of_America#Scandals_and_criticism), which continue (https://www.justice.gov/usao-nh/pr/former-united-way-vice-president-convicted-participating-fraud-and-money-laundering), were no surprise to me when they happened. I was always too much of a nerd to ascend the ranks, such as at that CPA firm, but in California, you needed to work two years for a CPA firm to earn your CPA certificate. I worked there a little over three years (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life/page2?p=2519&viewfull=1#post2519).
After a year or so, I had a counseling lunch with my manager. I liked him, and he was genuinely trying to help me. He said that I was far from the life of the party, at the phony social gatherings, and it was noticed. He said that I needed to look like I was having a better time. He also said that my shoes were not shiny enough, and he said that I needed to “play the game.” I then did something that I only did once at that firm, and I told him what I really wanted to do with my life. I told him about Mr. Mentor and my energy dreams (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). I blew him away, in a good way. He replied that very few people ever had opportunities to chase dreams like those, and he wished me the best at it. From that moment onward with him, it was understood that I was only there long enough to earn my CPA certificate. Of course, Wade the Prodigy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2497&viewfull=1#post2497) did not even need to study for the CPA exam, but my heart sure was not in the profession that I found myself in, and my Easter Bunny (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing) question showed my cognitive dissonance (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive) from the beginning.
Those years were the Reagan years, when greed was a virtue (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), and I watched him drive past our office once, with Nancy sitting beside him. The movie Wall Street kind of epitomized those years. Michael Milken was the king of LA in those days, and it is amazing to see him and his blood-spattered “philanthropists” holding forth today (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2184&viewfull=1#post2184), on how to solve the world’s problems. I worked with kids out of college, whose philosophy seemed to be, “I own a BMW; therefore I am.”
In LA, I joined spirituality groups (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#research), hung out at the Bodhi Tree book store (https://bodhitree.com/), got away to Bishop (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#bishop) whenever I could, hung out with my moviemaker friend (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2515&viewfull=1#post2515), was a movie junkie, and began building my CD collection (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page7?p=870&viewfull=1#post870), but my LA days were my life’s unhappiest. With the shock (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2553&viewfull=1#post2553) long over, I could walk through Skid Row and nearly enjoy myself, and have amusing anecdotes about watching LA getting ready for the 1984 Olympics (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&highlight=pershing#post406928). When I saw a security guard shove her gun in the face of a gang-banger (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406934&viewfull=1#post406934) as I was leaving LA, it was no big surprise, and when I was incredibly working in LA again, less than three years later (my “friends” at work, no doubt about it), drive-by shootings were common, and a coworker was killed in one while I worked at the medical lab (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience). My tires were slashed when I worked at that lab, and one of my more memorable events was rolling my tire down Reseda Boulevard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reseda_Boulevard) for miles, in my suit, to a gas station that could repair my tire so that I could drive home. Pretty much everybody I knew in LA had some kind of car crime (stolen, stripped, etc.) or wreck, and even my beat-up Pinto was not immune from it.
As I bring up these memories (this is not fun), the misery I was in comes back to me very clearly. During my last two years in LA, I lived in Redondo Beach, only a couple of blocks from the shore, which was the only place I could stand living in LA. I could have walked to Brian’s home, as he lived and worked in nearby Hermosa Beach (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#saic), for SAIC, for one of the many overlaps in our journeys (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), before we met.
Of all the hellish experiences that I had in LA, probably the worst, however, was slowly coming to realize how worthless my profession was (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting), although that did not become clear until years later (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#savings), particularly the month of my awakening on the witness stand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page5?p=681&viewfull=1#post681).
I am going to end the LA days memories for now, and go to my surreal exit from LA, straight into Dennis’s company, after that voice spoke to me for the second time (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). All I can say is be careful what you wish for. :)

Hi:
I can’t overemphasize the situation of feeling backed into a corner again, eight years after I first asked for guidance (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), to then be told to move to Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), which was the furthest thing from my mind. After my first year at Cal Poly, as I tore up the accounting program (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2497&viewfull=1#post2497), I tried to work for the summer at one of the big CPA firms in Seattle, as a way to get my foot in the door up there. I was too green to know that I could only do that during the winter quarter, when the CPA firms had their busy season. In my last quarter of school, when the recruiters came to campus and rolled out the red carpet for me in LA, I told them that I wanted to interview for their Seattle office, and I got one at Arthur Andersen, but Wade the Nerd blew the interview (I had no idea how to play the game then), had my ill-fated tax season after graduation, and then crawled back to California, defeated. If I had not graduated during the worst recession in 40 years, it would have been a very different experience, and my crazy life saw me looking for work in three recessions (in 1990-1991 and 2002-2003). Again, I can see the heavy hand of my “friends” at work in all of that. I had tried to find work in Seattle in the summer of 1985, on my vacation, and was again sent back to LA, empty-handed. Moving there several months later kind of qualified as crazy, but I would not be denied. To move away again by that autumn, to chase my teenage dream (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), I would not have believed a year earlier, if I had been told what the coming year had in store.
That morning in Seattle, as that recruiter told me to be ready that afternoon for an interview at a “solar company (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601),” it was like lightning hit me, and that began my life’s happiest year and 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). Before that year ended, I was incredibly Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614), and we were chasing free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit). I have never heard of another story remotely like it. I have written plenty about my ride with Dennis (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=197&viewfull=1#post197)), and don’t need to rehash it, but I will revisit some of the more vivid moments, and how it felt and how I thought when they happened.
I’ll start with when I worked, mostly for free, as it turned out, for Dennis in Seattle, reconstructing the books. I was ecstatic, and believed that the people alongside me were similarly motivated. When I saw them cheer the theft (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604) of Dennis’s company less than three months after I joined, which my boss helped engineer, in conjunction with Mormon grifters, who may well have worked for the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) in some capacity, being Mormons (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mormon), it was my first big awakening moment.
But a few days before that, when my boss made his play, Dennis made a countermove and we got back into our facility. I then watched my boss and the general counsel try to force their way back into their offices, as Dennis blocked their way (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604), and it was an unforgettable moment. Watching John Spickard (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier) walk through our offices on the night of that sham shareholder meeting, with a stricken look on his face (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=602&viewfull=1#post602), was the first of many times that I saw that look in the coming years, and I wore that look myself at times.

Hi:
When my boss helped engineer the theft of Dennis’s company (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604), I knew what he did, and there were some moments when I saw things where he was setting up the theft, which I did not understand until after the fact. The aftermath of that, in retrospect, was really the beginning of my loss of innocence, for all that I saw in LA (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2553&viewfull=1#post2553). He was my supervisor, who had a lot to do with hiring me, and I watched him help steal the company. He was named the new president of the stolen company. I was sold on Dennis, not my boss, and I had a hard time coming to grips with what I saw. There was no way that the theft could be legally or morally justified, but the company owed me months of wages, I was still on friendly terms with my boss, and I was trying to understand what I was seeing.
He offered to hire me, but I declined. He later asked me if I would be willing to testify to the financial statements that I compiled in my first two months there, and I agreed to that. I met with him at their attorney’s office and signed the affidavit. He showed me a glossy brochure they had made about Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), and I didn’t even know how it worked at the time. Over that summer of 1986, I attended at least one creditor’s meeting, held at my old office, and attended a day of the phony bankruptcy trial (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#bk) that Bill the BPA Hit Man had filed with his dupes. Bill was long gone, once Dennis was taken out. Sitting in the courtroom that day was my other big awakening moment (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient2) during my Seattle days, as I watched several groups fight over the company’s carcass. I am sure that they all felt justified, and that was the hardest part for me to digest. How could any of them feel justified? I had come in at the tail-end of the Seattle ordeal, so there was a lot that I was not yet aware of, and would not be, until after I moved to Boston to chase Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing). I put a lot of it together years later. Dennis tried to talk me out of following him that summer, but I would not be dissuaded. I still felt the thrill of the lightning strike, and he could not get rid of me.
When I arrived in Boston, I lived with the family of one of Dennis’s salesmen, who got them involved, which ended up bankrupting them. Dennis kept trying to bail them out, and they fought him every step of the way, thinking that they knew better. Once again, I tried to understand their mentality, and it wasn’t easy. In subsequent years, I realized that I was about the only person who really understood Dennis and what he tried to do, and it was awe-inspiring. Nearly everybody else was operating at an ego level, trying to keep a job, cash in and get rich, and the like. In the end, I only saw two people from the Seattle operation who acquitted themselves honorably. In Boston, a few people bowed out honorably, but we never really got much going in Boston, so there was not as much to lose.
But Seattle, Boston, and Ventura really comprised my education in humanity, what people are like when the stakes are high, with the perils and temptations that attended our journey. It got to my ego for a time (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=621&viewfull=1#post621), and when that former girlfriend began attacking me (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=622&viewfull=1#post622), oh, how nice it would have been if that was all that I received, but I had not seen anything yet.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
When I left LA, after that voice told me to move to Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), if you had told me that I would bounce from Seattle to Boston and back to California in little more than a year, I would not have believed that, either, and particularly what we were chasing. Even today, when I look back at it, it all has a kind of surreal quality to it.
I had never heard of free energy until May 1986, when Dennis came back from his visit with Joe Newman, and Dennis did not think in free energy terms until that 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). If you would have told me on January 1 that before 1987 ended, we would be building a prototype of Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), to marry with the panels (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry) of Dennis’s heat pump, to go after free energy, I surely would not have believed that. It is one thing to have a teenage dream, and another to watch it happen before your eyes.
If you had told me what would happen to my life in 1988, in which going bankrupt (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bankrupt) was the easy part, and Dennis would spend the year’s end in solitary confinement (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#solitary), there is no way that I would have believed any of it. When I became Dennis’s partner, we had never even heard of Tesla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tesla1), did not even know there was a free energy field, and a concept like the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) was alien to us. Those would have all been wild and alien ideas to me. I easily imagined that we could be wiped out, and knew early on that I was risking my life, but to imagine it and experience it are vastly different.
While I came to understand those realities, none of that was the big shock for me. The big shock was how those around us acted. After I had witnessed several attempts to steal our company, I told Dennis how shocking it was to witness (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), and he replied that the first 50 times he saw it, he was shocked, too. When Dennis was arrested (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), and I saw everybody steal everything that they could (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#steal), those were sobering moments, but I was no longer shocked. My biggest shock was seeing how my friends and family acted, as I was attacked and worse. I am not at liberty to discuss those events today, but I can say that when I heard that my mother had made a scrapbook (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492) of all the libelous newspaper clippings of us, taking it on tour to my friends, family, and investors, telling the story of her son the criminal, it did not even hurt anymore. The attacks by family members have lasted nearly to this day, as one of the many prices that I have paid for my journey. You can’t buy that kind of education, and by the time I staggered from my home town, radicalized, in 1990, never to return, I had 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 two most salient memories of that year, at least that I can publicly discuss, after the shock of being raided like we were, as a death blow was aimed at us, was when I encountered Mr. Engineer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=208&viewfull=1#post208), Ken (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=206&viewfull=1#post206), and Mr. 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) in our parking lot (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient3), and 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). In both instances, I initially could not believe what I was seeing.
Hearing about Sparky Sweet’s gizmo (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#sweet), soon before I left Ventura, or hearing, eight years later, that Dennis got the billion dollar offer from the CIA (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) to fold up the operation, soon before he was arrested with the million dollar bail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), was really the small stuff to me by that time. Nothing could surprise me after 1988, especially about human behavior. When I heard about my pal’s underground technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), it was not much of a surprise to me. In the circles that I began running around in after Ventura, my friend’s show was not that big of a deal. I later watched Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) describe similar technology, and it was more of the same, or my repeated UFO shows at James’s Ranch (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm).
My mystical awakening opened the doors of the possible to me, and nothing that I saw or heard regarding exotic technologies, ETs, or the mystical subjects was threatening to my worldview. I had learned to take it all in. That did not mean that I abandoned a scientist’s naturally skeptical attitude, but I sure was not a disbeliever. I honed my tools of discernment and began learning to think comprehensively (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), although I would not have called it that, and didn’t know what comprehensive thinking meant, until I encountered one of Bucky’s pupils (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), and discovered that I was a seat-of-the-britches comprehensivist.
I learned to accept what came. I am not saying that it was all easy to accept it. I resisted my primary lesson every step of the way (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), until it was beaten into my head in no uncertain terms. I was not dragged kicking and screaming, but I was also not eager to learn lessons such as those. But a love of the truth led me onward, even though running away would have been far easier.
Soon after the raid (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#raid), I sat in my office, which had been stripped to the walls by the deputies during the raid, and my mind raced, trying to find a way to bow out of it all with honor. That was one of the hottest seats on Earth, waiting for the next airstrike, and I did not want to be there.
And it was not all a horror show of evil and low integrity. Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page3?p=239&viewfull=1#post239) shined like a beacon in the darkness. He was the true hero of what happened in Ventura, and it cost him his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey).
I can never unpack all that I thought and felt in that most nightmarish of years, and it all reverberates through my life to this day. I have some more to write, but by the time I left Ventura in 1990, my life’s greatest lessons were learned, and everything since then has been relatively tame. I was an eager pupil of Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), for instance, but my big lessons were behind me.
Best,

Hi:
This post will take a little break from writing about my Dennis years (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2560&viewfull=1#post2560), but it also flows from it. Yesterday, I read this article (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-02/secrets-of-honeymoon-planners-for-billionaires) on catering to the whims of billionaires, and I want to write about the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) a little.
When the Roman Empire was at its height, during the “Peace of Rome (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cleopatra),” bacchanalian orgies were the order of the day, and the leading entertainment was watching people being forced to murder each other (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gladiators). There is no record of contemporary dissent to that situation. It was all accepted as normal. Slavery was a hallowed institution, or other forms of forced servitude, in all agrarian civilizations, all the way until the Industrial Revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas). It was only when machines began replacing people that slavery became “evil.” Before then, the end of slavery was unimaginable. Even the so-called Utopias from Classic Greece onward had slaves in them.
Just like the next Epoch was unimaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) to the people who lived just before the new Epoch began, almost nobody today has any idea what the Fifth Epoch will look like, or realizes it is even possible. When I take in the hedonistic and narcissistic lifestyles of so many of today’s rich and famous, or how lottery winners, rock stars, NBA players from the ghettos, and other celebrities try to piss away their fortunes as fast as possible, even intentionally, those are not glimpses of the Fifth Epoch. Those are dysfunctional ways of trying to feel a little better in the Fourth Epoch, when the awesome disparities (https://nypost.com/2020/10/08/just-59-americans-own-more-wealth-than-half-the-country-data/) in our world are obvious to all. The terms “celebrity”, “rich,” and the like will become meaningless in the Fifth Epoch, as it won’t be a handful of winners, and the rest losers.
The Fifth Epoch will not be full of obese, narcissistic hedonists. That is not what will happen, although in the transition, there will be some of that, for a short time, but it will quickly be seen as a form of insanity and will be lovingly treated. In the Fifth Epoch, everybody on Earth will be richer than Bill Gates is today, just like how the average American today lives a richer life than Earth’s richest human of three centuries ago, and new horizons of the human potential will beckon. The Fifth Epoch will not have greedy and blood-spattered “philanthropists (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2184&viewfull=1#post2184)” that try to force their “benevolence,” such as vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484), on the world, on behalf of greed and megalomania. Disease as we know it will vanish pretty quickly in the Fifth Epoch. The means of optimal health (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm1) will be understood and easily attainable by everybody. The Fifth Epoch can easily begin looking like this (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) within a century.
As long as warfare and raping the environment are immediately outlawed and enforced globally (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) (and throughout the solar system, as we will quickly become space-faring) until the insanity of it is obvious to all (which should take no longer than a generation), that transition out of the insanities of our Epoch, which include the dominant ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), can take as long as it needs to, but I see humanity’s settling into the Fifth Epoch within a couple of generations at most.
My vision of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) is not a stretch at all, but just some logical outcomes of a world in which energy, materials, and gravity are no longer constraints. Money (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange) and exchange professions will quickly become obsolete, as will cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities) and nations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), and almost nothing about today’s world will survive for long in the Fifth Epoch, they won’t be missed, and people will look back to our “advanced” industrial civilizations and regard them as akin to living in caves.
And I know that almost nobody on Earth will be able to understand what I am writing in the slightest, until the Fifth Epoch arrives, and that is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). I seek the freaks, who have the integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), worldliness, intelligence (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313), and imagination to be able to see what is coming, and realize that their ability to see it will go a long way toward helping it manifest, and I don’t mean in some New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) “mystical” way, but in very practical ways, which is what my choir idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is all about. They don’t need to go through the meat grinder that my fellow travelers and I did, but they need to care (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) and be awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), as a prerequisite, and very few of them walk on Earth today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), but I think that enough do for my little plan to succeed, or at least help. I don’t really see anything else with a chance of making a dent; it is all branch-hacking at best, even Greer’s efforts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), NEM (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2499&viewfull=1#post2499), etc. The naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) and lack of discernment and integrity is amazing and disheartening to witness, and those are suicidal deficiencies in this milieu. We need to raise our games far higher than what I have seen so far, if we are going to make a dent.
The coming American election is meaningless, in the big picture. Nothing of importance will ever get resolved at the retail political level (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics), which Brian finally admitted in his last years, and he would have known (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall). It is all a puppet show, and it is not even the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) who are pulling the strings. They don’t care who the American president is (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), either. What is happening in the mainstream is all circus, distraction, and propaganda (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing).

Hi:
Tomorrow is the official election, and we’ll see how that turns out in this crazy year. A crazy week in the USA is likely beginning.
Elections in the West is a big subject. The consent of the governed sure is a nice idea, but in practice, it leaves much to be desired. Classic Athens is the birthplace of democracy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#classicgreece) in the West, but slaves outnumbered citizens in “democratic” Athens, and women were virtual prisoners in their homes. And as Noam and Ed wrote long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing), relative freedom within a society had nothing to do with its imperial behavior, as it denies foreign peoples their freedom.
Probably the closest thing to actual freedom was matrilocal horticultural villages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), which broke up the male gangs. When my great nation was founded (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers), only white, land-owning men were voting citizens, which comprised about 1% of the population, similar to the Communist Party membership in China today. But it began acting like an empire as soon as the Revolutionary War was over, as George Washington crafted the plan (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint) to steal a continent (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#steal1). He was the richest man in the USA when he became president, the USA’s first chief justice’s favorite saying was that those who own the country should govern it (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jay), and the USA has been a plutocracy ever since. Having a billionaire as the American president today makes that issue clearer than ever.
On the issues that truly matter, Americans have almost no freedom at all. On choosing our cancer treatment, American citizens are the least free people on (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#free) Earth, on a matter of life and death, as everybody is brainwashed. Fluoridation is compulsory (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory), and vaccination soon may be (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484), and what those surreal situations all have in common are huge windfalls for plutocratic interests. The energy issue is the entire ballgame on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and the permanent solution is subjected to history’s greatest act of organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) and cover-up, which is joined at the hip with the UFO/ET cover-up (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big). If one comes out, the other will be close behind it, but I am not holding my breath for those events to happen.
Voting is a meaningless ritual in the USA, and in all so-called “democratic” nations. The plutocratic interests run the show, and so-called “democracy” is only a show. Heck, Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday) is all about that (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#filters). Late in his life, Ed said that he learned his lesson about presidential elections when he supported Nader in 2000, and that was the last time that I voted for president (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#nader). What a rigged game. It is all about shadow-boxing by the puppets. Late in his life, Brian admitted what a dead-end electoral politics was, and he would have known (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall).
I’ll say this for Trump, however: like JFK, he came to the presidency already rich, so was not as beholden to the plutocrats as the other presidents were (but he is one, and he has served their interests well, with tax cuts and the like). Trump has been kind of a loose cannon, however, but the sitting American president is far down the food chain of power on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), especially after they rudely showed JFK who the boss was (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean). All American presidents since then have had no illusions on how expendable they were. The main problem with voting, as I see it, is that it perpetuates the illusion of freedom. Americans are not free at all, in the ways that matter. The only partial exception is relative freedom of speech, and as people such as Ralph discovered (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#statement), it is very relative. For now, I can write without being censored, but Avalon and my own forum are the only places on the Internet where I can write and not be besieged by trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/144-My-Troll-Experiences?p=2222&viewfull=1#post2222), and some of them have been professionals. Wikipedia is a propaganda source (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#intro), etc.
There are no free markets, and there never have been (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#capitalism), and other illusions of freedom are carefully contrived.
So vote, Americans! Cast your meaningless vote! Which odious candidate will it be? Both work for the same people, in the end. Trump is perhaps a more honest imperialist, which is why Assad (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page3?p=2059&viewfull=1#post2059) called him the best president ever (https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/assad-donald-trump-best-us-president-ever). Noam calls Trump history’s greatest criminal (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-gangster-criminal-history-coronavirus-chomsky-interview-a9582311.html), so “choose” wisely! :)

Over the last couple months, family and friends have been busy bees reminding me that this is apparently the most important election ever, and the fate of the universe is riding on it. :ROFL:
While it's not to say that it doesn't influence some factors, learning about free energy and true nature of the world did cast election nonsense in a different light. While he is indeed a loose cannon so far as the establishment goes, it's pretty clear to me that the accusations of Trump being a pathological narcissist and liar are all too true. It's pretty amusing and sad how QAnon and his supporters try to see complex 4d chess maneuvers in his narcissist ramblings. At the core it's akin to seeing Jesus's face on toast. While pattern recognition is an important skill, those on the fringes often forget that most patterns we think we see DO ultimately end up being fluff, or are more about our own spiritual evolution than world events.
On the flip side, I would say that while the populist push of Trump and his supporters is worrisome and could indeed morph into something far worse, the Left's portrayal of Trump as Cheeto Hitler is a hysterical overreaction. As bad as Trump is, his narcissist tendencies have not yet led him to micromanage what people say on the Internet. By contrast, as I see it, Biden/Harris are more likely to give in to the push by the Left/Big Tech to censor and gatekeep the narrative, which to me IS alarming. The choir effort can't get off the ground if the means to at least talk about is squashed. Even without help from the GCs or any authority, I've seen this happen both here and in other forums/social media, those who have been bit by the SJW/cancel culture virus are all to keen on trying to control the narrative and micromanage what others can say.
Given that I live in a Left leaning college town I play the role of pretending to agree with leftist goals, but though I may want the ideal of shared prosperity and greater equality, I really don't agree with their methods at ALL. Nothing they desire will be possible until free energy changes society from the ground up, rendering current nation states and election pandering obsolete.

Hi Chris (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1387080&viewfull=1#post1387080):
I remember first hearing about the Internet in late 1994 or early 1995, when Netscape came out (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape#Early_years). I got my first Internet-capable computer in late 1995, and put up my first website in late 1996 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=821&viewfull=1#post821). Only Ralph’s Medical Dark Ages quotes (http://ahealedplanet.net/mdaq.htm) survived from that first site, and my Ralph essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm) is still close to the original. I began building my current site in earnest in 1998, and even back then, I wondered how long the window would be open for what I had in mind, and it is closing. My whole choir idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is a race with the censors. But even if the censors win, it is not like my message has resonated with a large segment of the public, not that I ever expected it to. Oh, there should be enough people on Earth for my plan to work, but that potential pool sure has shrunk, at least in my mind, since 1998. It all comes down to caring beyond one’s immediate self-interest (and who ever votes past that?), and there are not many of those on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle).
I was not looking for heroes, but people who just sought the truth, or at least an alternative to the propaganda. What a walk in the desert that has been. The “politically active” are in ways the most unreachable, as they grind the axes of self-interest.
Yes, it is indeed ironic that the leading censors today come from the “left.”
Yes, when you see the root of the issues, most of rest just becomes noise, but noise that mesmerizes so many.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Back to my memories (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2540&viewfull=1#post2540). I remember those first energy dreams (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), in 1974, and if you had told me that nearly 50 years later, I would be doing what I am today, I am not sure what I would have thought about that. Free energy was not even an idea to me in those days.
When Dennis told us about his visit with Joe Newman (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2562&viewfull=1#post2562), that was the first time I heard about free energy, and less than a year later, we were chasing it, and were soon building a prototype of Mr. Mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry). I have written at length about my awakening process (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) in those days, but on the free energy front, it began soon after I became Dennis’s partner, and we began hearing from scientists and inventors. So, the theoretical aspect began to become familiar to me, but also, I soon discovered that what Dennis had encountered in Seattle – being wiped out (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run) by the energy oligarchy – began to seem very familiar, particularly when we got to Ventura, and became a mecca for a brief time, as people came from across the world to visit us. That windmill entrepreneur (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#windmill) was one of many, and when I heard of Sparky’s gizmo (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#sweet) soon before I left Ventura, and also heard of his encounters with organized suppression, I left Ventura pretty clear on the reality of free energy technology and its organized suppression.
When I met Brian the next year (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), and we traded free energy notes within minutes of meeting, it was just more evidence piling up. When I heard, not many years later, of my close friend’s underground technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), that was just icing on the cake. When I heard Mark’s story (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), or Adam’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/radio.htm#trombly), or saw Greer’s witnesses testify (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), or heard about what Greer has seen, it was all more of the same, but could illuminate different facets of the issue.
In summary:
Free energy technology is real (along with antigravity and other exotic technologies), and has likely been on the planet for longer than I have been alive;
A huge bag of tricks (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden) has been developed over the generations, probably going back to Tesla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#teslatower), at least, to keep the lid on those technologies, to prevent their independent development;
Independent efforts rarely have a chance to begin with, as the technical part is hard to do in garages and workshops, greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greed), megalomania (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1), and the like often rears its head, and it is the relatively rare effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic) that even needs to be suppressed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1);
The current focus in the milieu on inventors, scientists, raising money, and the like reflects the field’s state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1217&viewfull=1#post1217), and the stunning criminality (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked) and lack of discernment (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2500&viewfull=1#post2500) in the field has been something to behold, and at times has blown me away;
It is long past time for new approaches, such as my choir idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).
But it took nearly 40 years for me to come to my choir idea. Nothing about this is easy. Next will be the slow gestation of my choir idea.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I doubt that I can ever really express what the journey was like, from when that voice told me to move to Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), to a little less than three years later, when I was incredibly working in LA again (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience), Dennis was in solitary confinement (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#solitary), and my life was in ruins.
What had happened in those three years was simply unimaginable to me, and the big shock was not that the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) exist, or that free energy technology existed (but, I really did not know that then), or that we had run into corruption in my home town that beggared description. No, the shock for me was that so many relationships were ruined, often beyond repair. Being close to friends and family was a big part of what made me tick. Going bankrupt (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bankrupt) was the easy part of 1988, and even mortgaging my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage) a few months later, as I wrote-off a future of being a parent, owning my own home, and the like, was small stuff, compared to having so many relationships shattered, and being attacked by a former girlfriend (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=622&viewfull=1#post622) was only a gentle preview. I have no contact with my immediate family, as one of the many costs of my journey, and I can barely imagine what Dennis lived through. The biggest miracle that I ever witnessed was when Mr. Professor and I busted Dennis out of jail, which we knew was a case of divine intervention.
And when Dennis escaped jail, he went back at it as hard as ever. I was awestruck, but I also had learned many lessons during the previous three years, and one of them was 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) likely did not have a prayer. I declined Dennis’s invitation to help him rebuild again. Once we busted him out of jail, my heroics were no longer needed, I began digging out of my financial abyss and picking up the pieces of my shattered life, and the drama of Dennis’s prosecution lasted for another year, when Mr. Big Time Attorney got the education of his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1707&viewfull=1#post1707).
But, I was not about to quit on my teenage dream, either. My days of study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) really began when Dennis was still in jail, as I began to prepare what I could for his legal defense (which became useful). A year later, when I heard of Lies of Our Times (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), and subscribed to it the next year, and the year after that, when I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), if you had asked me what I was doing, I am not sure what I would have said, other than pursuing the truth, perhaps. I realized that most of what I was taught was a lie, and I thirsted for the truth.
But the germ of my choir idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) was born back then, although it took another 20 years for it to finally come into focus. I am going to recount some of the memories around those years of study, engaging the public, and developing that comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing).
That first page of the first issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot) of Lies of Our Times is still the one I remember best, and I am not sure that I can overstate its impact on me, as the New York Times, which was and still is the most respected publication on Earth, could simply make it up as it went along. I remember that my reaction was something like, “Wow!” I saw the media lie about Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072) for several years by that time, and I saw it parrot government lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience) when I was at that medical lab. When I heard of Lies of Our Times (LOOT) on that radio show, I was so ready for its message, and that first page of the first issue was a kind of a surreal vindication of what I had experienced.
I did not know who Ed was, but had heard about Noam through a roommate when Dennis was still in jail (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big). Over the next two years, culminating with my letter to Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis/page2?p=2475&viewfull=1#post2475), I not only devoured LOOT each month, but I avidly read Covert Action (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#covert) and Daniel Sheehan’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) Christic Institute’s Journal of Emergence, which was wiped out in Kangaroo Court (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), too. I read Unreliable Sources in 1990, years before I read Manufacturing Consent (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), and voraciously read the alternative media. I even studied right wing stuff such as The Spotlight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spotlight), which Gary approached with his JFK tale (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), which led to Michael Collins Piper’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Collins_Piper) book. I read Ralph’s book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2266&viewfull=1#post2266) in late 1990, which had quite an impact on me.
I read it all, including many channeled works, alternative medicine, thermodynamics (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#industrial) and Mr. Mentor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) and Fischer’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer) patents, and in 1992, I not only read about Columbus’s dubious feat (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#introduction) in Howard’s A People’s History of the United States (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn), but my big wake-up call on that score was David Stannard’s American Holocaust (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page8?p=2307&viewfull=1#post2307). That was one of the most impactful books that I ever read, if not the most impactful, and the first time that I read that Junípero Serra (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra) maybe wasn’t such a saint, after all. At that stage, nothing could surprise me much.
Those years of scholarly discovery were amazing ones for me, but they also took a toll. I clearly recall coming home from a long day in the office (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes), and waiting in my mailbox was the autumn 1993 issue of Covert Action (I just dug it up in my library to confirm the date – it went by a few names, and by Covert Action Quarterly then), on a nice autumn day, and I was feeling pretty happy. I walked in the door and spent the next hour reading that issue. When I finished, I wanted to drink a six-pack of beer, and might have grabbed a beer or two after that.
Those years of study were important ones in shaping my worldview, but if not for my ride with Dennis, I doubt that I would have ever taken the plunge. I would have remained in the ranks of the unawakened, thinking that I was getting the “news” from the newspaper, that the history books taught something resembling the truth, and so on. Well, maybe not entirely. My mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva), my awakening on alternative health issues (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), my subscription to Christian Science Monitor (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) in LA, and my Easter Bunny question (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing) showed that I was not quite willing to settle for the bromides that were spoon-fed to me by our propaganda systems. That teenage energy dream (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) would have been like a burr under my saddle, nettling me, even if I had become a multimillionaire working for Microsoft (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/85-Computers-and-me?p=292&viewfull=1#post292), and I wonder where it might have led me, if not for that voice that led me to Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2).
Several times, during my days after my first stint with Dennis, I have met people who reminded me of how I would have likely turned out if I had not met Dennis. They were well-meaning Boy Scouts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts), but they had not gone through the meat grinder, and were naïve. Naïveté is no crime (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), but the naïve do not understand how our world really works. The most painful aspect of meeting those naïve Boy Scouts was when they got all gung-ho about free energy, and rushed out to proselytize to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). I tried to dissuade them, but they rarely listened. The best of them came back to me, chastened by the experience, telling tales of ostracism, and were finally willing to learn a little.
My first stint of intense study lasted from late 1990 to late 1996, when I wrote my first site (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=821&viewfull=1#post821), just before my short-lived second stint with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting). My second study stint was largely full-time, between early 1997 and September 2002, when I finished my site, largely as it stands today. Then I had my misadventures with Brian and NEM (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem) and resumed my career, during the dark years of my midlife crisis, which only ended with my invitation to the White House (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife). I was introduced to Bucky’s work in early 2003 (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), and for the next several years, I wrote the occasional short comprehensive essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/home.htm#comprehensive), and in early 2007, I began my next stint of study, to prepare to write what became my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm). After publishing that, the study never ended, and I have some huge stack of books in my office today, which I have read since 2014, which I will use for my upcoming essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), to likely be followed by a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481).
In coming posts, I am going to present memories from those later chapters of my life. They are easier to remember than events from 60 years ago. :)
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Well, it looks like we may have another four years of Trump as president (How do our polls get it so wrong? A landslide was predicted for Biden just a few days ago; I think that the media is rigging the data somehow), and here comes a memory post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2540&viewfull=1#post2540) on why I don’t think it matters who the president is, in the big picture, but also why Trump is not the worst the world could have. First off, who really thinks that the people who really run the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) would leave the important decisions in the hands of people like Trump and Biden? The American presidency has never been that powerful, as far as the person sitting in the Oval Office goes. The sitting president sits quite a ways down the food chain of power on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), especially after they showed JFK (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean) who the boss was.
In my own family, my mother’s side voted Republican, and my father’s side Democrat. My mother’s mother was a businesswoman who owned her own store in Bellingham, and my father’s father was the president of the painter’s union in Seattle. My father disparagingly called his father a “Marxist,” but my father still voted Democrat. My mother’s mother ran her Lutheran church for 50 years, while my father’s side has a Quaker heritage going back centuries (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#familyname). The few times I voted, it was initially Democrat, but the last time I voted, it was for Nader (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#nader), who ran as an independent in 2000. I never voted Republican, but I do recall voting Libertarian a time or two in my 20s.
So, I have never been beholden to either party, but I am about the only business school graduate (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing) that I know of who did not vote Republican. But during my rides with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), I came to understand just how meaningless the American presidency is, and Dennis had several encounters with the White House. As far as Dennis and the federal government went, his stint in the military was the beginning of his relationship with Washington, as he slaughtered the people of Indochina (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=778&viewfull=1#post778), and he was a medic, of all things. American nationalism was his original religion, until he woke up in a bank lobby (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice), and nearly did not survive the experience. Brian also drank the Kool-Aid of American nationalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early) from his childhood, and did a deeper dive than Dennis did in ways, as he protested in the White House (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#protest) and advised several presidential candidates (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall). Dennis helped the FBI bust the Alaskan mob (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=577&viewfull=1#post577), and barely survived the experience. I helped Dennis and Brian approach the Department of Energy (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/impacts.htm)), as they just could not give up the idea that the federal government would help. Near his life’s end, Brian admitted to me that American electoral politics was a dead-end.
Several American presidents, or their cabinet-level officials, knew Dennis by name, and that probably begins with Reagan, as his Attorney General knew who Dennis was (Reagan himself was a vegetable (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#reagan)), investigated him thoroughly, and called Dennis “squeaky clean (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#squeaky).” That did not prevent us from being wiped out in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and the CIA was likely directing traffic on that, as they represented “European interests” when they offered Dennis a billion dollars (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) to go away, before we got the boom lowered on us (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail).
I did not know it at the time, but Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer) was briefing all manner of official on the UFO issue in the early 1990s, and he was approached to brief the head of the CIA, because he was out of the loop. It was about the same time that 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 American military, when he began snooping into the UFO issue. Greer was first contacted by a faction of the GCs after his CIA briefing, and they told him that the head of the CIA and the sitting president (Clinton, in that instance) were completely out of the loop on the important issues. In Greer’s dead-man’s switch document (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=2538&viewfull=1#post2538), he named the same gang who tried to kill Brian.
In 1996, after Dennis amazingly survived the prison experience, where the prison officials repeatedly put Dennis in position to be murdered by the inmates (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), Dennis began barnstorming the country, just when Brian published his first free energy book (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#miracle), and I became his biggest fan. I am not at liberty today to disclose everything about those days, but the GCs watched us carefully, and I nearly went to prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life/page2?p=2521&viewfull=1#post2521) after rejoining Dennis again, as the GCs mounted a sophisticated sting operation against us (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting).
But, after his two tours of the USA, culminating in the show in Philly (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#philly), which is history’s largest free energy gathering, we met with Al Gore at the White House (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#yull). I could have gone if I had wanted to, but I have always avoided Washington, D.C., partly because it is dangerous for people like me (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#activism). At their meeting, it became clear that Clinton was well aware of Dennis, and was not happy with Dennis’s efforts. But, the Clinton administration toyed with using the Brown’s Gas solution to nuclear waste (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers?p=417&viewfull=1#post417) as an election-year ploy in 1996. I read the letter that Gore sent Dennis, around the time that we were speaking at Department of Energy (DOE) hearings, in which the organizer tried to enlighten us (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers?p=417&viewfull=1#post417) on how the land really lied. Gore backed out of further involvement. He did not doubt that Brown’s Gas created low-energy nuclear reactions, but he felt that it was too dangerous to use it to transmute radioactive waste. Several years after that, I voted for Nader instead of Gore. :) One pal knew Gore in his weed-smoking youth, and Gore was always a political animal.
My midlife crisis began during that 2000 election campaign, and it lasted until 2006, when Dennis invited me to the White House (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife). That time, Bush the Second’s energy adviser was one of Dennis’s fans, and was going to arrange an eve-of-the-election demonstration of Dennis’s technologies. Once again, I was not interested in going to the White House, David Rockefeller (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) soon got involved, and then Dennis was finally run out of the USA, by the FTC in that instance (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), and it was under Obama. Rockefeller handpicked every president since JFK (and David likely had a hand in his murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean)), but even he was down the food chain a ways, at least a level or two below the GC level.
When I helped Brian approach the DOE, it was under Obama, while Dennis was simultaneously being run out of the USA by the feds. As I look back, those were only more surreal episodes of my journey.
The energy issue is the entire ballgame on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), everything else is noise, and don’t count on retail politics (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics), especially the American president, to help out.
So, I see retail politics, and especially presidential election campaigns, as illusion and distraction, but the so-called political class thinks that it really matters. On the important issues, it doesn’t. Of course, there is all manner of insane conspiracy mongering around the presidency, such as the QAnon and Trump-versus-the-deep-state fantasies, and it only serves to further delude people.
All I’ll say is that Trump, like JFK, has been a rather reluctant imperialist, and that gets him some points in my book, but you would not want Trump over for dinner. Hillary may well have ignited World War III by now, with Russia, psychopath that she is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmIRYvJQeHM), and Biden might follow in Hillary’s footsteps if he ends up winning this election. There are truly no good choices for president, and on the big issues, it doesn’t even matter.
Enough said for now, and we’ll see who gets to sit in the White House for the next four years. Yawn.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Back to my memories after my first stint with Dennis. When 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) when the dust settled in Ventura, I still had a learning curve ahead of me, and what it amounted to, as I look back, is that I did not generalize that lesson to other areas of human behavior. If I had, it would have saved me a lot of grief in subsequent years.
It was obvious that the level of integrity in the general population was not nearly enough to accomplish what we had attempted. Our business associates were constantly trying to steal our business (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), the masses cheered the thefts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604) and piled on (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#steal), etc., and the hit men and women (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2046&viewfull=1#post2046) hardly needed to work up a sweat, as we did most of their dirty work, gratis. The perils and temptations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) of the free energy pursuit were simply too great for nearly all people to navigate, and it got to my ego (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=621&viewfull=1#post621) for a while, too, and others went full megalomaniac (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah).
So, that approach was not going to work, but God bless Dennis for continually trying to find something that could make a dent. It was a noble but doomed effort. With how my mother reacted (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492) to our persecution, I had no great illusions about how the public reacted to smear jobs. But, as I began reading Lies of Our Times (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot), Unreliable Sources (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1013058.Unreliable_Sources), Ralph’s book (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), and the like, there was really not much to argue about. The media was a big lie factory, our imperial rhetoric was fraudulent, etc. Those works were irrefutable. I had the still-naïve idea that if people spent the slightest amount of time studying that material, the depth of the lies that we are sold each day would become obvious. In other words, I thought that people could “wake up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309)” if they were exposed to such information. That was pure folly on my part, and I think it began with that former friend. He was my staunchest supporter in the Ventura nightmare, and I sent him (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=824&viewfull=1#post824) a copy of Unreliable Sources, for Christmas, as I seem to recall. It didn’t sink in for two seconds, and the next time we talked, he was parroting the TV news again.
In my innocent days of reading material like that, I read Unreliable Sources in the lunchroom of that bank where I worked (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion), and mentioned to my boss that I was reading about how badly the media deceived its audience. His reaction was memorable: a look of shock, and he immediately fled the lunchroom. I slowly learned that people did not want to even hear anything that challenged their cherished beliefs, even if it meant certain death (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#doom). I finally came to realize that I was witnessing another variation of low integrity in action. But it took several years to really sink in. People truly did not want to know, as they slept the fitful sleep of ignorance. Ed wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#incapable) that those establishment-defending pundits were incapable of realizing how irrational they were, and it took many years for me to finally understand. It was not so much that they were stupid, but that they sold out their sentience for the security of being in an in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), which is really an integrity issue.
I have many memories in the 1990s, as I studied and sometimes shared that material, bought people subscriptions to Z Magazine, and the like. I slowly began to realize that the primary reason for all of the ignorance and denial was that people simply did not care. It was just another facet of my primary lesson, and I learned that integrity and sentience are joined at the hip. That comes through very clearly in afterlife accounts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/149-The-Human-Afterlife-and-the-Journey-of-our-Souls?p=2339&viewfull=1#post2339).

Hi:
With about a one-year break between 1997 and 1998, I had a nearly continuous Internet presence between 1996 and 2002, with my email address on my site, and I took on all comers. Anybody who featured my work soon got a visit from Mr. Skeptic, as he threw his disinformation bombs. He was my Internet stalker (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#warning) for a decade. His performance was the second time that a psychopath unmasked himself to me, and the first was when Mr. Deputy did it on 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). That first time was a highly educational experience. What Mr. Skeptic did was no great surprise to me, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt, until there was no more doubt to give him the benefit of. Whether he was on the GCs’ payroll somehow is kind of an open question to me, but I consider it likely. It is more psychologically interesting if he wasn’t, but he probably was.
I have pals today that I met through having my email address on my site, and until 9/11, it was relatively cordial with me and the public. I was not attacked all that often (but I fielded plenty of insane responses to my work, such as to this section (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress)), I had quite a few thoughtful correspondents back then, and even some visits. But there were also hazards for my readers, and I tried to keep them out of trouble. One correspondent was a young soldier. I believe that my work was his introduction to alternative ways of viewing the world, and did he ever get into it for a while. Like soldiers often do, he got very gung-ho for a time, such as literally buying Noam’s books and handing them out to superior officers. Did I ever try to dissuade him from that, and one day, he learned his lesson, when one recipient of his new perspective went after him, and his career as a soldier might have been at risk. He was frightened into silence around his fellow soldiers. I have many tales like that.
After 9/11 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc), however, the USA lost its collective sanity. The attacks become far more frequent, increasingly deranged and threatening, and from at least one public official, but the final straw was that criminal attack by that former friend, who then went after my relationship with my mother (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=827&viewfull=1#post827). I won’t forgive that in this lifetime. I hold no hard feelings and let it go, but he is permanently out of my life. I can understand and even sympathize with his sickness of mind and spirit, but I am on a mission and refuse to play Saint Wade with people who try to take me out. I push them out and leave them out. I have far more important things to do with my life than deal with people like that. I may try to help them regain their sanity on the other side, but I am through with such people in this lifetime. I have had to write-off family members, too.
I also realize that I own some of that, in my ignorance. I did not realize what a freak I was until around the year 2000 or so. I now know that I was on a playing field that almost nobody around me could even imagine, and they were in no way prepared to begin to understand how our world really works, and it is on me that my journey exposed them to situations and ideas that they could have blissfully remained unaware of for the rest of their lives. I brought disruption into their lives, and I have to own that.
The craziest part is how they all adopted a self-righteous posture to justify their crimes, and to this day, they don’t see anything wrong with what they did. When I was far younger, I might have tried to help them see the light and come to their senses, but I leave them alone today. I also have the evidence of their crimes, if they ever come back for more. I think that fear of exposure helps keep them at bay. That former friend tried it again a decade later, and I had to contact one of his family members, to threaten to make his crimes public. That former friend was too stupid to realize how highly unscrupulous people could use him against me, and shatter many lives, including his. I am actually trying to protect him, and those others among my family and friends who have attacked me.
About the time that I went silent and took down my email address on my site, I began thinking in terms of what became my choir idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), but it still took several more years of events and digestion to arrive at it. I can see how the germ of my choir idea was born before I even left Ventura, but it took many years and missteps before I came to my current approach.
Best,

Hi:
My memories of my scientific pursuits are some of my more pleasant, going back to childhood, rummaging through piles of fossils, scouting for an archeological dig, playing mad scientist with household chemicals, to my school studies, to my days with Dennis, when I could. But it was not until I hit the books back in 1990 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) that I really restarted my science studies, which was entwined with technology, as all scientific advances have been.
I remember spending a good month or two studying Mr. Mentor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) and Fischer’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer) engine patents back in 1990, and reading a thermodynamics (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#industrial) textbook for non-scientists. Thermodynamics for scientists began with calculus on page two. I certainly could have resumed my formal math and science studies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2497&viewfull=1#post2497), but early on, I decided on a path that largely defines my approach to this day. For what I am trying to get across, studying popularized science is adequate. While specialists are often on the cutting edge of their disciplines, the pattern recognition of generalists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#specialists) is often where the paradigm shifts come from. Specialists can suffer from tunnel vision, and generalists can be too general, and the challenge is to bridge the two ways of seeing. It is not easy.
The magazines Science and Nature are written for the general science audience, and are where Brian often published. I write plenty about Scientific American and its limitations (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2183&viewfull=1#post2183). People don’t need to be professional scientists to understand the vaccination issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484). It was not hard to understand the thesis of Stale Food Versus Fresh Food (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), witness the miraculous health changes that accompanied taking its advice, or the amazing health benefits of fasting. I watched so-called scientists attack and marginalize those practices as some kind of voodoo for many years, and the very same scientific establishment has now embraced those practices (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/109-The-Medical-Racket?p=2163&viewfull=1#post2163) and the science behind them. Fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory) is obviously completely fraudulent, but is supported by the medical establishment to this day. It is not hard to understand the basics of the issue. Science often takes a back seat to economics, politics, and vested interests. Those dynamics are not that hard to understand, for people with their eyes open.
In the early 1990s, I began studying the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends),” and that was educational. I knew about Sagan’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan) bogus “skepticism” before I knew that Brian was once his close colleague (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#after). In 1995, I stumbled into the Velikovsky issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky), was a peripheral participant for many years, and still interact with some in that milieu. In the end, I doubt that Velikovsky was right, in a scientific sense, about any of his hypotheses, but it was educational to study the milieu. It was also a scandalous chapter in the history of science. Einstein was one of the few scientists who gave him a fair hearing. But Einstein could also stray from his areas of expertise, and he endorsed a hypothesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Hapgood#Polar_shift) in geology that died the next decade, with the rise of plate tectonics. No scientist is infallible, but I respect the ideal of science (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories). Einstein popularized his theories, and as a child, he avidly read popularized science.
It was educational to dip into catastrophic theory. Actually, aspects of catastrophic theory are accurate, and evolutionary studies were held back for a century, because of the dogma around Darwin’s uniformitarian beliefs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lyell), which denied the possibility of mass extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctions). I got sucked into the Moon landings issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#apollo), and I studied the issue, on and off, for a decade, before I finally got to the bottom of it in 2001. I am happy that I did it, as it helped hone my tools of discernment. Keen discernment is indispensable for looking into any issue, so the scientific approach is a key one. Scholarship has similar standards, but they are also regularly abandoned, as scholars sell their souls (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity) to the prevailing winds of wealth and power. That scientists can sell out and can be trapped by their paradigms, or scholars can end up selling the equivalent of snake oil, are just variations of my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2569&viewfull=1#post2569).
What my friend witnessed (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) turns the physics textbooks into doorstops, and the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) have certainly developed some clandestine bodies of theory to explain how those technologies work. And the so-called radical left has an ideological aversion (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion) to even admitting the existence of the GCs, while conspiracists paranoically obsess on them, and usually bark up the wrong tree. Nobody who is visible on the global stage today is a GC, and the Rockefellers operated a level or two below that (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). QAnon and the like are juvenile fantasies, IMO.
In ways, my scientific journey has been the longest one, beginning in first grade and continuing to this day. Coming to understanding how science ideally works, and contrasting it with how it actually works, and how the world’s mainstream scientists, in areas such as energy, have had the wool pulled over their eyes for longer than I have been alive, has been a lifelong process. Scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) is an important aspect of what I have in mind for the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), as keen discernment is required to navigate the minefields, and there are many of them, particularly with what I am trying to do. The criminality (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480) and lack of discernment (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2500&viewfull=1#post2500) in the free energy field, the conspiracist field, and others which impact on my efforts, has been something to behold. What a long, strange journey it has been.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
This will be a brief post on awakening. Michael (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael) has stated that souls can choose to go through their entire incarnation cycles and never awaken, but those souls will still get what they came for. What I am doing, however, requires the awakened and awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). My experience is that awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) can only come through experience, and only for people who choose to awaken. I constantly encounter free energy newbies who try to awaken their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) with proselyting, or perhaps some of kind of paranormal experience, and the like, trying to crack that mass movement nut (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). I have seen about every approach that you can think of (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), and I have written that for the very experiences that woke me up, nearly everybody else around me, who witnessed the same events, stayed asleep, even the people who acquitted themselves honorably (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042) on the free energy journey. Heck, I could not get Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) interested in free energy, and tried to introduce him to Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm) several times, to no avail. I got the polite brushoff from Noam, after his gracious response (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis/page2?p=2475&viewfull=1#post2475). I beat my head against Richard Stallman’s walls (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130) for about a month.
I stood in a field and watched UFOs fly over (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm), but almost none of the people with me really woke up to a larger reality, beyond retail politics, conspiracism, and the other traps of scarcity, to begin thinking in Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) terms, etc. The vast majority of humanity – well more than 99% – will not begin to awaken to the possibility of the Fifth Epoch until after it arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). Almost nobody ever imagined the new Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) before it arrived. I am trying something unprecedented in the human journey, at nearly 50 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) and counting, with maybe 30 more good years ahead of me.
It is just what it is, of a sleeping humanity, mired in scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), and it does no good to judge the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), but it is very painful to watch gung-ho newbies rush out to proselytize to their social circles, instead of doing the work to hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). They are looking for easy paths to the finish line. I am afraid that there are not any, and learning that lesson is arguably the key one for helping the Fifth Epoch manifest. The best of the best have spent their lives trying this and that, risking their lives, having their lives shortened, and the like. As Brian stated in our Camelot interview (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#sentience), it takes people who have the talent, interest, and who do the work, which takes many years, before they are going to be fit for a task such as this, to help manifest the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev). Not many of them walk on Earth today, but it won’t take many (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), either. As Brian stated (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/150-The-Talents-Responsibilities-and-Limitations-of-Intellectuals/page2?p=2404&viewfull=1#post2404), it will be the “Spiritualists” who do it, and I won’t disagree. Everybody else seems to get stuck along the way.

Hi:
This will be a Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2266&viewfull=1#post2266) post. Ralph is in my pantheon (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042), and a whistleblower (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2412&viewfull=1#post2412) of the highest order. There haven’t been many like Ralph. Since his death in May, I have been in touch with one of his descendants, who was inspired by Ralph’s efforts. The rest of his family believed that Ralph’s reports of harassment were paranoid fantasies. That is one of the loneliest parts of this journey, for people like us; we rarely got any support from our families, and were often attacked by them.
Most of my correspondence with Ralph happened in the 1990s, and I lost it, as it was on different software from the Microsoft Outlook that I have used since 2000. But I have some emails from the 2000s, before Ralph went silent, and below is one of several like it that I received by Ralph over the course of our relationship. Ralph did his whistleblowing when he lived only a few miles from Langley, the CIA and friends made his life a living hell, and Ralph learned that the FBI was behind most of it. And, of course, it did not matter who the president was, Democrat or Republican, for those laboring under the delusion that the Biden administration will bring great and salubrious change. Biden was always a sellout to the private sector (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/20/joe-biden-corruption-donald-trump). He disgusted me in the 1990s, and he surely has not mended his ways.
Not long after Ralph sent me the below, he shut down his CIABASE, sold off his intelligence library (I bought some of it, and the rest went to a university for almost nothing), and moved to Florida, to enjoy his remaining years and live close to his children. The FBI’s harassment actually escalated in Florida, which led to Ralph’s sending me this (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#statement). I may have helped take the heat off Ralph, but the next month, 9/11 happened (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc), Ralph understandably went very quiet after that, and I did not blame him. Ralph was not a candidate for GITMO, but he disappeared from the public eye after 9/11, and just wanted to be left alone.
I am going from memory on some of it, but Ralph received threatening phone calls in the night (the “we know where your children live” sort of stuff), and his home was bugged. He tested that idea by falsely announcing in his home where he was going, and the bug-listeners then staked out the wrong store while Ralph had a hassle-free store experience at a different store, but they then rushed to find him. Ralph eventually learned that the Herndon (where he lived (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2268&viewfull=1#post2268)) police worked directly with the FBI to harass Ralph, which seemed like a training exercise for their goons.
So, below is what Ralph sent me in 2000, as an example of his life as a whistleblower during the Clinton years.
Best,
Wade

Wade -- last Sunday I went to a local bagel cafe and was standing in line to order when a clerk pulled me out of line to another register – was completely rude but took my order, the sandwich I ordered came with tooth-picks to hold them together-- one of my half sandwiches had a loose piece of hard pick in it - when I chewed I drove the piece into my gum and may need dental work.
In Fuddruckers earlier part of my sandwich had something vile in it -- I passed it off as happenstance but then the manager stopped me as I left and asked how was my sandwich -- this convinced me.
A couple of days ago I began to back up my truck, I heard a pop and stopped and got out someone had pushed a bottle up under my tire -- fortunately the pieces did not penetrate the tire.
Going to the Community Center to swim is an act of courage or foolishness as one way or another I receive low-level harassment. One day there was a flurry of activity as I left. Outside sitting in a Herndon police car were two policemen. As I started to back up a person -- I believe he was a Community Center employee -- parked in back of my truck -- started to back up almost simultaneously-- fortunately I stopped quickly -- it looked like an attempted staged accident with two police witnesses on site.
Taking a walk in the blocks near my house almost always has some car pulling up next to me with people glaring at me. I have had to move my walks to other places.
All hard or impossible to prove -- but the level is increasing and worries me.
Riding my bike on the bike trail is an adventure with the sounds of nearby gun shots -- a park ranger vehicle paralleling me on the cinder trail - with the vehicle lights flashing -- this of course also involves some in Loudoun County. But for the last year or so there has been an escalating series of low-level incidents on the bike trail in Loudoun.
I cannot go into the nearby Walmart -- in Loudoun County - without all sorts of problems -- so I have stopped going there.
Entering stores and shopping malls is an adventure as security people follow me -- there have been so many of these incidents that I do not bother to record them and seldom go to shopping malls.

Hi:
I think it goes back to when my family went “health nut (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons)” to save my father’s life, which was 50 years ago this year, when I began developing the mentality that I have today. Whether it was live food or fasting (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/109-The-Medical-Racket?p=2097&viewfull=1#post2097) or my mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva), I always approached it as a scientist, and direct personal experience is always the most important way to learn. All of the theory in the world pales next to experience. I learned a two-fold lesson from those early experiences:
The scientific establishment dismissed all of the evidence, on a very shaky basis, when the evidence was easy to reproduce; a lot of that was due to corruption, but was also due to the blinding of scientists by their paradigms (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded), and their refusal to see;
Almost nobody really wanted to hear about it, either, as the evidence often challenged their self-serving beliefs.
Those understandings did not become immediately evident, but the events added up over the years. I asked the Easter Bunny question (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing) that everybody laughed at. It turned out that I asked the most important question of all, but the real answer (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting) was unpalatable, and is to this day. Wanting to know the truth trumped everything else, but it was hard to find anybody who wanted to. After the dust settled in Ventura in 1990, I had learned my journey’s most important lessons (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) and was about to sit at the scholarly feet of Noam, Ed, and Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042) for many years, but I was still surprised at how tightly people kept their eyes shut (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2569&viewfull=1#post2569).
But when some would finally open them, few of them ever exercised the discrimination of a scientist or scholar, but bought anything that came along. Grand conspiratorial yarns with little or no independent evidence, the latest gossip in the free energy field, with the messiah-inventor (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) who “has it!”, the craziest health fads, tabloid headlines, and the like – it became wearying to see how almost nobody had the right stuff. But, it still came down to caring, and believing everything was a bad as believing nothing outside of establishment dogma, and was maybe even worse.
It took many years to arrive at my current approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) and the qualities I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69). People dismiss them all the time, as they think that integrity does not matter (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2500&viewfull=1#post2500), that scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) does not matter, or they argue that people are really awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) or awakening, when almost nobody really is or is even trying.
In my view, these ideas are irrefutable:
Free energy, antigravity and other technologies are on the planet today, many are likely older than I am; they have Epochal significance, and their public use would constitute the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5);
Those technologies are sequestered by the global elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc); but there are also dissident factions (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground);
Those same global elites are the masters of organized suppression;
But there are several levels of those organized suppression activities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), and they are not all coordinated; only when independent efforts to develop those technologies reach a truly threatening level (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic) do the global interests get involved.
That is all based on either my direct personal experience or the experiences of my close circle of fellow travelers, whose credibility with me is absolute, as far as what they said they experienced, from the billion dollar bribe from the CIA (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) to go away to the “offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847)” from the American military to study UFOs to that exotic technology show, and my friend was kidnapped (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173) as his “invitation” to the show.
The people I seek need to do what they can to accept that reality. I have given out plenty of homework over the years (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page2?p=1747&viewfull=1#post1747), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/147-Getting-Over-the-Hump?p=2285&viewfull=1#post2285)), but I rarely hear from anybody who is doing or has done the work. I am somewhat sympathetic, but people also won’t be choir material until they do the work, and it isn’t easy. I am not interested in some watered-down, mass-movement approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), to attract interest.
I may add some more memories to that thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2540&viewfull=1#post2540), but I am going to wind it down for now. The past couple months of documenting my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482) and making the memory thread was triggered by Thrive II’s coming out, and its continued promotion of libel (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), as well as by many others, who all demonstrate an awe-inspiring lack of either discernment or integrity. It all reflects both the state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1217&viewfull=1#post1217) of the free energy field and 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 hope that the many distractions of this crazy year are behind me, and that I can get back to work on updating my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447). I have set a goal of publishing the essay update and a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481) by the time I am 65, and we will see how it goes. The essay update will be the hard part, and the book will only be an abridged edition of the big essay.

Hi:
Before I do my best to ignore retail politics (not an easy thing to do this year!), I want to briefly revisit Trump and the conspiracism that I have heard about him since he was elected, from all corners. The Russian collusion issue was Democratic wishful thinking from the beginning, and people such as Rachel Maddow devoted themselves to that bogus issue. It is nothing more than the International Communist Conspiracy warmed over. The American media has used Russia as a punching bag (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia) for more than a century, to keep the American people in fear about an external threat. Ed’s last articles (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death) were on that subject. When the Soviet Union peacefully collapsed, new demons needed to be conjured, and it was drug runners, then “terrorists,” and if von Braun was right, it will be ETs next (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis?p=2177&viewfull=1#post2177).
I have been seeing this “Trump versus the Deep State” stuff from the beginning, and Trump is portrayed as some kind of incredible mastermind. It all looks like a conspiracist fantasy, and to hear the conspiracist talking heads on the issue, Trump is still in the driver’s seat, and will spring his trap on the Deep State any day now! :) I was recently directed to this site (https://www.bitchute.com/channel/pqlCrTAephy6/). As I looked at his pals, it seemed to be some kind of masquerade, with guest names such as Dolly Daydream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0Z4LZ-4kNs), Pryme Minister (https://www.bitchute.com/video/PlMGrFirL7Ap/), Rice Crypto (https://www.bitchute.com/video/PvAjbLG85mHF/), and Danny Karma (https://www.bitchute.com/video/IGD1pzXu5u2b/). Ward has stated that he moved the money for the ultra-rich (https://operationdisclosure1.blogspot.com/2020/08/who-is-charlie-ward-and-who-are.html), has the inside scoop on what is happening, has seen mountains of gold, and Trump is some kind of warrior for the light. I have been reading for years that Trump was about to spring his brilliant trap against the Deep State, with subpoenas and arrests, destruction of underground bases, etc. That crowd has their own jargon, such as “Targeted Individual.” Ralph was a real targeted individual (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2573&viewfull=1#post2573), and for good reason. The rest, I have my doubts about.
I have been hearing variations on these themes for nearly 30 years, and I never saw even one of them pan out. There are definitely dissident factions among the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), but I sure would not trust anybody in that crowd to have the inside story. I strongly doubt that anybody at the GC level is talking publicly or feeding anything resembling the truth to those New Age conspiracist talking heads. It seems like some cross between the WWE and Santa stories.

Hi:
I think it is obvious that I read voraciously. In ways, it is brain food, keeping the ravages of age at bay a while longer. While writing on recent themes this year (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis?p=2170&viewfull=1#post2170), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/150-The-Talents-Responsibilities-and-Limitations-of-Intellectuals?p=2357&viewfull=1#post2357), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm), 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), 5 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life), 6 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life), 7 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch)), I have read on many other subjects, and I have a pretty big inventory of links to articles and essays I have been reading in recent months. I need to clear them out and write about them a little, as I prepare to resume work on my essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447). Some of it will make it into the essay update.
Back in 2011, I was on James Gilliland’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/public.htm#interviews) show. It was nice. James interviewed Goode recently (https://twitter.com/MichaelSalla/status/1325421043721232387), and Goode made the claim that in two years, free energy and antigravity will be released to the public. I have heard that “news” at least 50 times since the 1990s, like a chorus of people who cry wolf. Wilcock is another. I have mentioned plenty that as long as the implementation of free energy and antigravity are done peacefully and harmlessly, I really don’t care who does it, as it will mean the arrival of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), my work will become more relevant than ever, and the fun will just be getting started. But I trust Goode, Wilcock, and Salla about as far as I can throw a dinosaur.
James worked with a scientist-inventor named Max, and Max developed something like what Sparky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) had, the spooks (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/115-The-Spooks?p=1257&viewfull=1#post1257) came running, people died, and the like – the usual story – and they quit when they realized what they were up against. When I last visited James in 2015 (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm#visit2015), he said that China was building a city to pursue free energy. China does stuff like that. They built a city to pursue Brown’s Gas (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers?p=417&viewfull=1#post417), too.
When I read or hear about China, or the Space Force, and their pursuit of free energy, and releasing it to the public, I don’t quite yawn, but I also don’t take it very seriously. Oh, the goodies exist (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), have no doubt about that, but I strongly doubt that Goode, Wilcock, Fulford, and that merry cast of characters have any kind of clean connection to the inside and what the GCs are up to. A lot is being made up, either by them or the people feeding them the disinfo. Navigating the circus around the JFK hit (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), the Moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), UFOs/ETs (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), and other topics enabled me to understand such milieus, and knowing Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm) helped, too.
I have my doubts about Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), too, but I trust his stuff more than the others with the alleged inside scoop from the spooks, but I also take a lot of Greer’s stuff with a grain of salt, particularly in recent years. His entire mini-alien pursuit is barking up the wrong tree, IMO, as is his $100K reward for free energy technology. None of those people ever came close to playing at Dennis’s level (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run), and what Dennis discovered at those levels is the bulk of where my understanding of the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) and friends comes from, how organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) works, my lifetime’s greatest lessons (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), etc.

Hi:
I need to make an addendum to my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc/page3?p=2576&viewfull=1#post2576), and add one more person. When Brian came out on the UFO issue, he was approached by two “New Age” soldiers, who tried to recruit him into classified UFO work, and Brian nearly died (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) after rejecting their “offer.” The closest that Brian ever came to describing that event was in the prologue to his last book (http://ahealedplanet.net/synopsis.htm#naive), and Greer named them in his dead-man’s switch document (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch/page2?p=2470&viewfull=1#post2470).
Be very wary of New Age soldiers and former spooks who sing similar songs, which brings me to Robert David Steele. He is supposedly a former spook, who is onboard with free energy, ETs, and the like, and sings the praises of the crowd that I mentioned in my previous post. I recently wrote about Ralph’s travails (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2573&viewfull=1#post2573), and he was not disclosing anything classified. For a “former” spook to jump into this milieu with both feet, publicly endorsing what are very likely disinformation efforts, makes me very wary. This may be my only warning on that issue. You won’t find me hanging out with spooks who promote free energy and the like.

Hi:
In the election’s aftermath, I looked for some American Empire writings, and found this (https://chomsky.info/20080424/) by Noam, from a talk he gave in 2008, the year he turned 80. If I have even a small fraction of what Noam still had in the tank at 80, it will be a very good run indeed. I can’t read anything by Noam and not learn something.
Even the idea of an American Empire is largely taboo in the USA. I pretty much cover the same territory as Noam did in my American Empire essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm), but Noam can do it off the top of his head. My American Empire essay ended with the events of 2002, with a little postscript on the invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), which Noam correctly calls the greatest crime of the 21st century so far. On my site, about the only coverage of our imperial events since the invasion of Iraq were the parts of Ed’s bio that dealt with it, such as Obama’s overthrow and murder of Gaddafi in Libya (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya), the renewed demonization of Russia (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#russia), and what other academics wrote (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#academic) on the media’s role in our recent imperial efforts.
The frank discussion of the American Empire never happens in the mainstream, unless it is to celebrate it (http://bostonreview.net/chibber-good-empire). But in relative right (1 (https://www.lewrockwell.com/2000/04/cathy-cuthbert/the-rise-of-the-american-empire/), 2 (https://www.heritage.org/political-process/report/the-lessons-the-roman-empire-america-today)) and left (1 (https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/decline-and-fall-american-empire/), 2 (https://eand.co/why-we-should-all-celebrate-the-end-of-american-empire-65b60d9e17b8), 3 (https://www.commondreams.org/views/2020/06/18/pre-history-decline-and-fall-american-empire-rant), 4 (https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-end-of-american-empire-wont-be-pretty/), 5 (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/09/30/russia-could-never-discredit-the-us-empire-the-way-these-guys-just-did/), 6 (https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2019/11/05/american-empire-decline-and-were-not-ready-what-comes-next), 7 (https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2020/05/23/the-end-of-american-empire/)) corners, the issue is discussed, generally in the context of an empire in decline. Will Uncle Joe revive the empire? :) He voted for the invasion of Iraq (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/elections-2020/joe-biden-says-he-voted-for-iraq-war-because-he-wanted-to-prevent-a-war/ar-BB10Yf7n) on rather strange grounds, which he later regretted, at least on the campaign trail. The biggest crime of the 21st century was to prevent a war? Empires always trot out rationales like that, and Biden would not be president-elect if he stood for principles (no president stands for principles).
So, I am not holding my breath for Biden to somehow change course. I was able to live through eight years of Obama and almost never heard him speak, and I was able to largely ignore him. Back in 2004, as the dust was settling in Iraq and after Obama was elected and before he took office, he established his foreign policy credentials by writing an essay, which appeared in Time, I believe, in which Obama argued for bombing Iran (https://hotair.com/archives/tina-korbe/2012/03/18/obama-in-2004-surgical-airstrikes-might-be-necessary-to-stop-iran-from-going-nuclear/). I never paid much attention to him again. I expect to be able to do the same for Biden. When I saw him justify the massacre at Waco, even calling it a mass suicide by those hapless Branch Davidians (he led the official investigation), that told me all that I needed to know about Biden.
The conversation I am attempting to mount has to aim far higher than retail politics. The White House is not where the real power is, and the conspiracism around Trump has been wearying to continually encounter over the years. He is not a white knight on a steed, but a strange amalgam of narcissism, opportunism, serving the business interests, while wrapping himself in the flag, which is an American tradition for demagogues. Like most Americans of my generation, to me, Trump was some kind of billionaire clown since the 1980s. He would pop up at Miss America pageants and on reality TV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(American_TV_series)), making the news with his bankruptcies, and kind of epitomizing the excesses of America’s rich and famous.
Noam thinks that Biden will be “less bad,” and I won’t disagree, but I also won’t be paying much attention, either.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I’ll write more later, but I am currently reading The Secret Life of Groceries (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50548165-the-secret-life-of-groceries), on the American food supply. It is like Fast Food Nation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Food_Nation), which I read nearly 20 years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#haber1), or The Omnivore’s Dilemma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Omnivore%27s_Dilemma), which I read nearly a decade ago (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=281051&viewfull=1#post281051). I have written plenty on my thoughts about improving the lives of truck drivers, giving them their lives back (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm), and rather easily, which arose from my days in the industry (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=272&viewfull=1#post272).
A chapter of The Secret Life of Groceries was devoted to the truck drivers that are the lifeblood of the American food system, as the author did a deep dive on the state of the profession. Oh, the pain of reading about it. The situation is far worse than when I was in the business. When I was in the business, we were originally an owner-operator company, but then we leased trucks and had employee drivers. An average driver made about $30-35K per year, which was a $10-15K raise or so, for the “combat pay” of living in their trucks, over having a “local driver” job, for which they slept at home each night but had trouble making ends meet.
The idea of owner-operators being in business for themselves was kind of farcical. They really were not that independent, as we provided the loads, insurance, and the like, but a lot of it was in the gray economy, in which truck owners often snuck loads behind our backs, getting 100% of the revenue, while we were on the hook for accidents and the like. It was called “running hot,” and it was just one of many issues in that gritty business. I saw the lives of owners versus employees, and a brother drives as a Teamster today. The life of an employee driver seemed better in ways, and I sure would not have encouraged anybody to buy their own truck and enter the business. It seemed like a loser to me: a lot of risk for partial and somewhat illusory freedom. The idea of owner-operators goes back to the days of regulation (before 1979, when Carter deregulated it), when a truck owner was a farmer who drove when he was not needed on the farm, for plantings and harvests, or the “cowboys” that the trucking legend was based on, which they made movies and songs about, at least before deregulation.
Well, the industry figured it out, and in the generation since I quit the business, drivers are now forced into becoming owner-operators or “apprentices,” as the companies they hire on with play a bait-and-switch game. They are recruited with the promise of becoming employees, and they are actually on the hook from the beginning for the cost of the “training school,” as the recruiters chum the bottom of the USA’s socio-economic strata. So, the driver comes out of training on the hook for thousands of dollars, and the loads promised as employees never materialize. However, a “way out” is offered, to “buy” one of the trucks of the company that hired them, or become a team driver at apprentice wages (a small fraction of what they would normally earn).
For those “owners,” they are charged all sorts of fees by their “employer,” and in the end, they would make far more by just bagging groceries in their hometown. The author of The Secret Life of Groceries rode with a woman who drove a refrigerated truck. Her truck grossed $200K that year, and her personal income was about $15K (and working 70 hours per week, to boot) after all the fees. That comes out to about $4 per hour, and that is far worse than when I was in the business, when a local driver would make about $10 per hour, and that was a generation ago, so that $4 per hour is more like $2 per hour, compared to the 1990s. Trucks never grossed that high in the 1990s, but high-grossing trucks would net the owner a good living, with personal income in the $50-60K range. The industry is now dependent on those new suckers signing on and working for slave wages for a year or two, before they quit and go back home, to the “opportunities” that await them.
I worked for a flatbed company, and there was a difference between that and the refrigerated or van freight business, in that the drivers in flatbed had to secure their loads, which was so physically demanding that women generally could not do it. I only saw a couple of women flatbed drivers in my five years there. One that eventually worked in our office was young and six feet tall. As it is, women are only about 5% of the driver population, and they are at constant risk of rape and other outrages. The business I saw was highly sexist. Flatbed drivers made a little more than the van or refrigerated drivers, no more than a few thousand dollars per year, generally, for the extra exertion and risk. When I was there, drivers were injured and crippled in load incidents. Van or refrigerated was much safer, physically.
The trucking industry has devolved into a new form of slave labor. It reminds me of the days of sailing, as Europe conquered the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2), when all sorts of ruses were used in recruiting, and actually being kidnapped and becoming prisoner/sailors was standard operating procedure, when the death rate on a voyage averaged 25% (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#mortality). Whaling was notorious for those practices (http://ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#moby).
Oh, the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) can come none too soon.

Hi:
It is time for a little cosmology and free energy. Today’s corpus of orthodox theory, with its Big Bang, dark matter and dark energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darkmatter), relativity and quantum theory, will quickly become obsolete when those sequestered technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) come in from the dark shadows. It is one reason why I am not very interested in the many alternative physics models that have been trotted out for many years, and even Tesla’s challenges to relativity of more than a century ago. When the new data becomes public information, and every scientist can study free energy, antigravity, and related technologies, only then will credible new theories arise, and the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) have likely developed a lot of that theory already.
Einstein said that every theory eventually dies at the hands of new facts, but that the best parts of his theories would survive in the new theories. Today’s orthodox scientists do not know what light, gravity, matter, and energy are, and the best of them said that leaving the question open (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#heisenberg) was the key to insight. What I think will happen, in the science of the Fifth Epoch, is that the corpus of today’s physics will largely be relegated to some elementary corners that describe some aspects of our universe and how it works, but far from all of it. They will be considered special cases of the more general and overarching theories, or minor aspects of them, and materialism will die its deserved death, along with the other dominant ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant).
For instance, dissipative energy systems will have still their place, but will be relegated to one aspect of energy systems. As Seth (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth) stated, our universe is full of black and white holes, as energy comes and goes. I just finished another chapter in The Secret Life of Groceries (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50548165-the-secret-life-of-groceries), and am reading the Whole Foods chapter, where the author worked for a couple of months while researching for his book.
When taking in the miserable lives of the truck drivers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=2579&viewfull=1#post2579) (and lumpers and other ancillary workers), or the scramble for shelf space in supermarkets, they are all essentially dissipative energy systems that are characteristic of industrial societies, and as the available energy has declined (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline), out comes the dysfunction that was less visible before, which relatively abundant energy could kind of cover up, and that dysfunction was largely a result of the declining energy, as the systems fought over it.
For all of the industrial “advances” over agrarian systems, in which the average American lives a richer life than the richest human of three centuries ago, it is still a dissipative system based on relatively scarce energy and the resultant fight over it, which explains everything about the USA’s military presence in Oil Country (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). Simply everything else is noise. My work is largely about helping the people I seek realize that it is all noise, including the political theater of 2020, the pandemic, and the rest of what takes place in the public eye. I yawn at all of the Trump the Hero talk, or tales of the military heroes talking on the cabal in the underground bases, and the like. That is all conspiracist fantasy, as far as I am concerned, with a tenuous relationship to reality, if any, and it is all worthless for helping manifest the Fifth Epoch (and Biden will be no help, either), which is really all that I care about and have time for. Reshuffling the deck of scarcity holds very little interest for me, and as Bucky said (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics), it is of very minor importance, in the big picture. In the Fifth Epoch, that all becomes meaningless, like comparing which stone tool technology was the best.
I’ll allow that if the dark cabal really was taken out, and free energy allowed to reach the public, then it is not all worthless, but there is not one source on that so-called behavior that I entirely trust, and nothing that any of us can do about it. Oh, what my friend saw was likely presented by a dissident faction of the GCs, and I take Greer’s stuff somewhat seriously on the state of the cabal (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal), but I have been hearing about underground battles for nearly 30 years, and how the forces of light have already won, etc. The true forces of light won’t fight. :) The lambs will prevail, not the Young Warriors (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors). What I see today is like waiting for Santa to come down the chimney, some imaginary heroes that will save us all.
A so-called dissipative energy structure, in which the energy is decentralized and truly abundant, will look nothing like what we see in today’s industrial societies. What we see today will be viewed as very primitive, akin to living in caves, when viewed from the Fifth Epoch. Warfare will no longer be glorious (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good), exchange will no longer be so enthralling (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange), we won’t see egos run amuck, etc. The Fifth Epoch will be soul-centric, not egocentric, as survival is no longer a concern.
And make no mistake; without free energy, the Fifth Epoch won’t manifest (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). It can’t. It is the necessary precondition, and even the sufficient one, just like new energy sources formed the foundation of all previous Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable). Without the new energy sources, the new Epochs could not arrive.
The Fifth Epoch, however, dwarfs all previous Epochs, as humanity becomes a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev). In fact, I call it the first Epoch of the Super-Epoch of Abundance. Humanity will also become a truly sentient species, instead of the tired dogma that we see today, from all corners (http://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#orthodoxy), as everybody protects their slice of the scarce economic pie.
I am well aware of how the Fifth Epoch is simply unimaginable to more than 99% of humanity today, just like all future Epochs were unimaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), but I seek the few who are willing and able to imagine it. They will be enough for my little plan (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to work.

the state of the cabal (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal)
(extracted from Wade's page here (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal))
The global control cabal has long been divided, and factions of the more “benevolent” half have demonstrated those technologies to a select few (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). About half of the cabal realizes that the power plays by the darker half threaten to turn Earth into a cinder, and they favor bringing those technologies to the public (in 2009, Greer said that the proportion favoring the dissemination of those technologies became 70%).[15] (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#_edn15)
The darker half also has a plan to wipe out more than six billion people and turn the surviving humans into pliant slaves, but part of their motivation is to also reduce humanity’s burden to Earth’s ecosystems. Ironically, with free energy, there does not need to be any burden to Earth’s ecosystems (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). That global controlling organization is not one that many conspiracy researchers/theorists are familiar with.
That organization is the offspring of secret societies and elite manipulators going back thousands of years. The favored grist for the conspiracy theorist mills - the Bilderbergers, the Freemasons, Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, the Trilateral Commission, the CIA/NSA and other alphabet soup federal agencies, defense contractors, European royalty and so on - are not in charge of that global cabal.
The cabal has penetrated and influences those organizations, and thereby limits what those organizations are capable of. The rank-and-file members of those compromised organizations have little idea what is really happening or who is calling the global shots. CEOs of Fortune 500 corporations that are involved in the global control paradigm and that have helped develop those exotic technologies are not in the loop either.[16] (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#_edn16)
For whatever it's worth, this is 100% exactly what I'm given to understand.

But there need to be Gatekeepers and people that translate between the ones in the loop and not?
Or is it AI/telepathic meddling and a state of hypnosis that most of the seemingly in control but totally unaware "corporate elite" etc. find themselves in?
I once listened to a lenghty interview with Jay Weidner, where he described an "alchemic underground," having castles and giving somewhat a Harry Potter like impression. Would you equate them with the benevolent cabal?
And is there intra-cabal communication happening, or mostly via symbols on the world news/event etc.?
Do bene and malevolent cabals have spies set onto each other?
@Bill: What do you make in retrospect of Charles´master who was skin shedding and a couple of thousands years old and also heavily involved with planetary issues?
Many weird questions but it would be nice to get a clearer picture ;)

Bill, have you read the rest of the article? There is a lot of praise for Steven Greer, who is not the most reliable and trustworthy people. At least according to you. Mormons are mentioned as one group that are up there with the Global Controllers, or did I misunderstand that part?
The article talks about those global controllers without naming any names. Supposedly, people like Bill Gates, George Soros, old money families, the alphabet agencies and even the royalty are hardly in the know.
Then, who are these Global Cotrollers? Who are these people and/or organizations who for thousands of years manipulated humanity? Organization that are beyond Illuminati. Groups that even alternative researchers don’t even talk about?

Thanks Bill (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1389714&viewfull=1#post1389714):
I only have a few minutes today, as I have a crazy day ahead of me. I may write a little more on how I came to that perspective, and that first awakening experience at age 12 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons) was the beginning of it all, followed by the epic year when I was 15-16 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2495&viewfull=1#post2495), when I spent months in Europe, got my first energy dreams (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), and had my mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva). Those post-graduate years were harsh ones (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2553&viewfull=1#post2553). Then I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), and jumped from the frying pan into the fire. :)
I slowly became aware of the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) over my journey, and it was always my experiences that helped me digest that reality. Greer’s reporting was a piece of the puzzle, as was the mystical stuff I read, as was knowing Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), etc. My experiences, and those of my circle, were always the chief evidence, and the various forms of literature came in a distant second.
I have found that what is all-important is how the subject is approached: as creators (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest) or victims (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). Creators create with love, and while the people I seek have not relinquished their critical faculties, their orientation is rooted in love, and accepts and releases. Victims live in fear, and are in denial or obsession on the subject of the GCs. Nearly all that passes for discussion of them on the Internet is at the gossip level, usually paranoid, stays focused on the GCs (or what they think is, but the retail elites do not play anywhere near the GC level), and a great deal is outright disinformation, for various reasons. My experience is that such a focus is not healthy. My approach does not focus on the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus), but acknowledges and releases them, and just treats them like a force of nature.
Perhaps the most ridiculous conspiracist meme that I ever saw has been Trump the Hero, playing 5-D chess with the Deep State. What a Santa Claus fantasy that all is. The constantly boastful Trump is somehow nobly saving the world in secret. Ha! The sitting president is way down the food chain of power on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), and has always been. Nothing of importance will ever be solved at the retail political level, and to pin one’s hopes on Trump and his backers is a move of desperation. It is still going on as I write this, as Trump is supposed to spring the trap on the Deep State (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2575&viewfull=1#post2575) any day now.
Of course, those spewing that stuff will have a bunch more excuses when that doesn’t happen, with equally “robust” levels of evidence, which will be none at all, as they simply make it up as they go, and their audience eagerly swallows it all. I have seen this stuff on the rinse-and-repeat cycle for nearly 30 years, but conspiracists can never get enough of it, and never suspect that something might be awry with the breathless pronouncements, of the good guys prevailing, disclosure, handing out trillions of dollars to the masses, and the rest of it. It truly is the adult version of believing in Santa Claus (if Trump grew a beard, he could at least look the part :) ). I am currently bombarded with that stuff, but it should mercifully die out in the coming weeks, until the next conspiracist fantasy! :)
Best,
Wade

I understand about Greer. (So does Wade.) But in my opinion, some of what he says about human power structures is well-sourced and quite likely to be correct.
I should clarify about the Mormons. I replied to Wade above:
For whatever it's worth, this is 100% exactly what I'm given to understand.Maybe I should have said 98%. :) We were told this about the Mormons by Pete Peterson, but we've had to 'park' his testimony in our 2009 Camelot Interview as much of it later turned out to be unreliable or just plain invented. (See this Pete Peterson thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?99679-The-Truth-about-Pete-Peterson-David-Wilcock-the-foreclosure-the-dead-cats-and-GoFundMe).)
But that's a comparatively minor detail. As I understand it, the Illuminati, the Skull & Bones, the Masons, the Knights of Malta — and the Mormons — are all lower down the pyramid. The controlling 'capstone' group is ultra-elite, ultra-private and ultra-shielded, and has been established for a long time. As best I know, their names would never be recognized by the public. Gates, Soros et al are just relative pawns on the board. They can be useful, and follow instructions in the public arena, but they're not chessboard Kings or Queens.
Bloodlines are all-important. I don't pretend to understand it all by any means, but as best I know there are 33 major bloodlines (hence the importance of that number) and over 400 minor ones. That encompasses a lot of people, but some are definitely more important (or more senior) than others, and I do NOT know the protocols on which that hierarchy is based.

Hi:
I have a little time this morning. So, after three million views (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1390003&viewfull=1#post1390003) and nearly ten years and more than 6,000 posts, what the heck am I doing at Avalon? :) The goal has been the same since I became Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614): bringing free energy to the world. I had a life-ruining, but awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening), four years with Dennis during my first stint. As I staggered out of my home town, with my life in ruins, I realized that very little of what I had been taught about the world that I lived in was true (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm), which began a period of study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) that lasts to this day. But, without that journey with Dennis, I likely would not have much worth saying. I would have been hopelessly naïve (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), full of unworkable “bright ideas,” and the like. For better or worse, that voice (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2) knew what it was doing.
The year after moving to Ohio, I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), who was just getting his feet wet in the free energy field. I was finally awake, devouring a wide spectrum of material, and I slowly realized how asleep those around me were, arguably beginning with the former friend who could only parrot the TV news (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2569&viewfull=1#post2569). Before long, I contacted Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis/page2?p=2475&viewfull=1#post2475) and was soon given the polite brushoff. By about 1994, I began planning to write a book, which was a goal that finally died in 2001, but has been revived in recent years (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481). What a long, strange trip it has been.
One thing that became clear over the years was just how unusual Dennis was. I don’t know of anybody else like him on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany). His was the hero’s journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1), and I realized early on that only somebody like Dennis could make that work. He wanted me to be his protégé, but there is no way that I could ever do what Dennis did. You had to see it to believe it. He should be dead dozens of times over.
For all of Brian’s heroism (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars), Dennis played at a different level. But also, Dennis could not make it work. One hero (and a small support team) up against the inertia of the masses and the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) did not have a chance, although we gave the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) some interesting days in the office (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), and the so-called White Hats cheered us from the shadows (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623). That whole approach was not going to work, and the first free energy inventor that I ever heard of (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=602&viewfull=1#post602) went full megalomaniac (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and my ego (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=621&viewfull=1#post621) was challenged at times. Anybody who ever steps on that stage will have it challenged.
When I had the idea of writing a book around 1994, the Internet had not yet come to public awareness, and the rise of the Internet changed my plans. I published my first site in 1996 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=821&viewfull=1#post821), and have had a nearly continuous presence on the Internet ever since. In those innocent days, I had my email address on my site and took on all comers for several years, until the insanity of post-9-11 America (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) made it so that it was not worth it anymore. Even before 9/11, when I joined forums, I was regularly attacked. When I began to reengage the public in late 2006, I discovered that the Internet had become one big troll festival, and after being kicked out a forum that is likely a CIA front (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll2), I decided that the next forum that I was in would be mine.
At the same time that I was being attacked and booted out of forums across the Internet, and I had my very own Internet stalker (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#warning), Brian came back into my life, after the disaster of my last mass movement attempt (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem). Mass movement attempts won’t work for this Epochal task, as they all seek lowest-common-denominator methods of achieving “cohesion,” which in all cases that I have seen, appeal to in-group ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), in one way or another. Dennis tried using the three most prominent population management ideologies in the USA, which were spectacular failures. When the organized suppression came, it was easy to wipe us out, as our allies did most of the dirty work, gratis. That 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). Ever since my first stint with Dennis, everybody lied about our efforts. Brian was about the lone exception (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#miracle), which is partly why I became his biggest fan. When I mentioned my love and enlightenment approach, Dennis and Brian knew that I was doing something different. Brian would be my biggest fan (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852), if he was still alive.
The media, of course, was the first (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072) big liar that I encountered. I finally realized that they can just make it up as they go, and the public gullibly swallows the disinformation. More dismaying was to see those lies coming from so-called allies in the free energy field (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), and those who gullibly lapped it up, to this day (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2500&viewfull=1#post2500). I still get chased out of forums (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)), by trolls and their forum admin allies, incredibly, in venues that I thought might be above that sort of behavior. I was wrong.
When Brian came back into my life, his influence led to my first public interview (http://ahealedplanet.net/public.htm#interviews), and I later learned that my Camelot interview (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm) really happened because Bill had been reading my work since 2001, or perhaps earlier. I had become Brian’s biographer (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro) in 2009, as I helped carry his spears (http://ahealedplanet.net/impacts.htm) once again. I was busy studying for what became my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) a few years later, when I discovered that Bill had learned the same forum lessons that I had, and he created the oasis known as the Avalon forum. In a couple of months, it will be ten years at Avalon (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=91260&viewfull=1#post91260). Bill is a saint for creating the Avalon forum. What a labor of love it must be for Bill (and quite an adventure, for sure :) ).
At more than 6,000 posts, people can legitimately wonder why I do it. I don’t seem to have a large following, not for somebody making more than 6,000 posts, but I know that what I am doing is unprecedented, hardly anybody understands what I am attempting, and won’t until the Fifth Epoch arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink).
My guess is that, between my site and Avalon, around 100,000 people are aware of my work and would recognize my name. Many millions have heard of Dennis, from the national smear campaigns (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), if nothing else. Of those, not many are choir material, but I never expected this to grow quickly. It has to be about quality, not quantity, and I am still trying to make my material as good as I can. The essay update (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) in the next few years might be my lifetime’s last big effort on that score. It wasn’t until I began writing my big essay in 2013 that it really became clear to me why almost nobody understood. They could not even imagine what I was writing about, which is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine).
What I am trying to get across is very simple, really:
Our universe is entirely a manifestation of energy; literally everything that we see is energy. More than anything else, my big essay chronicles the energy events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) of the journey of life on Earth, including the human journey.
With each Epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), which were all founded upon tapping new energy resources, the rising energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#discretionary) allowed human societies to become more humane and further explore the human potential.
Free energy technology is on the planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) and likely older than I am, but is sequestered from public awareness and use by the global elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) in history’s greatest cover-up, which is joined at the hip with the UFO/ET cover-up (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2).
The greatest triumph of the social managers is making free energy and the Epoch its use would form the foundation of unimaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#summary).
My goal is making it imaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#imagine). :)
That is really all that I am doing, and I patiently await for others who can take the stage with me and hit those notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). It is good practice for me (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading). :) So, my site, my forum, and my Avalon threads are all beacons that I have built (with a little help from my friends (1 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=330389&viewfull=1#post330389), 2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?29372-What-technologies-activities-or-concepts-will-be-made-obsolete-by-Free-Energy&p=297739&viewfull=1#post297739), 3 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32467-Free-Energy---No-way-in-hell-&p=331108&viewfull=1#post331108))), to attract the people I seek, and I don’t kid myself that they stand on every street corner (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). After being at this for more than 30 years, I know whom I am looking for (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), I am trying to build a big enough campfire to attract them, and what is going to attract them is not me, standing on that stage by myself, but others on stage with me, hitting those notes, and I long for people who will hit higher and clearer notes than I can. It is the choir that will attract them, not one person singing an aria. That seems pretty simple, right? :) I might have another 30 good years in me, and I plan to make them count. I know what has not worked and is unlikely to (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches).
Just last night, my scientist niece, who studies climate science and is about to begin her career, sent me this (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-too-hot-for-humans.html). It is merely a variation of my “vision (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth)” for where we are heading today, and free energy makes all of those existential threats disappear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), almost overnight, as a side-effect of the arrival of free energy. If nothing else, that motivates me, but I am far more about the attraction of the Fifth Epoch than I am about avoiding global catastrophe. The people I seek need to be motivated by love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest), not fear. In ways, it is incredible that I am a voice in the wilderness on these issues, and in others, it is typical (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#lonely).
So, I carry on, as I seek singers, not soldiers. What a blessing Avalon has been.
Best,
Wade

The Mormon thing is interesting and kind of funny. Mormons (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mormon) were involved in wiping out and stealing our operations in Seattle and Ventura. Many years later, at the NEM conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland), I believe, I heard Greer say that the Mormon Financial Empire was the current kingpin of the GCs, and it was one of the many “Isn’t that interesting?” moments in my journey. Yes, it is really a minor issue, of whether they are at the very top or not. They are way up there somewhere, and I have no interest in the folly of trying to unmask the GCs and friends. I think that we both agree on the general contours of it, and I am fine with a slight reshuffling of that deck (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). Yes, I believe that nobody at the GC level has a public presence. We agree on that. Gates, Bezos, Musk and the rest of that merry crew are seen as just boys with their toys, from the GC level, and they don’t care who the sitting president is, he is so far down the food chain of power on Earth. JFK is the last president who thought he could make a dent, and he was rudely disabused of that idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big).
I really don’t care about the global elite that much. I see them as merely symptomatic of humanity’s malaise, similar to those gray beings in that hellish Roads world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115). In the Fifth Epoch, all elites become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) know this, which is why they have been so vigilant and active in keeping the lid on free energy and related technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). For what I am doing, to the extent that people focus on the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus), they are missing the boat. All sorts of crazy conspiracism attends that path, and I advise people to steer clear of most of it. Just to acknowledge it exists is enough for what I am doing. Anybody who claims to know just what is happening at the GC level is deluded or lying. Almost all of the “inside scoop” stuff purveyed by today’s prominent conspiracists is lying or wishful thinking.
Nothing of what I or anybody else has done is really at the choir level (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) yet, and if a choir forms, I truly believe that the GCs would be powerless to stop it, and the Fifth Epoch will be on its way. It can come in other ways, too, and a choir can only help. We can’t play the GCs game, of secrecy, deception, and the like. They are the masters of that game, and can’t be beaten at it, which is why I am as transparent in my efforts as I can be.
Best,
Wade

Assuming a large enough range of compartmentalization and interconnections between different privatized programs and intelligence operations, I would suspect that even the GCs don't always know everything that is going on. Even if they control the overall trajectory, one can't always know all the moving parts. In that sense Soros, Gates and such would be indeed be pawns far down the ladder. Most likely, no one is truly ABOVE the web, all of us ensouled in homo sapien bodies are caught in it and help spin it to an extent. An especially sobering experience for me has been reading up on where all the materials I use in my day to day life come from, including the components of the keyboard I'm typing on. In that sense, we can't really unravel the web, rather, the choir effort and what leads after it would be like a stranger fig tree that eventually replaces the original tree.
On the topic of Trump and the current debate over election fraud, I can't say I'm convinced, but there is some interesting data there and it wouldn't surprise me if corruption is afoot, as Trump is a loose cannon, and Hillary was the one they originally wanted. The main use I would see from that though is serving as another nail in the coffin of the mainstream narrative, rather than assuming Trump is some 4D chess master and trying to reelect him. Even if he has some good intentions, the idea that the defeat of the cabal hinges on an obvious narcissist is faulty I would say. It's good for people to recognize the nails in the coffin, just as happened when many were woke up by the foolishness of the Iraq war. Ultimately though, that energy needs to be redirected to helping people see how the energy issue is key. One thought I have had recently is that if fossil fuels are partly replaced by fusion reactors and other technologies that still allow for centralized control, a new pivot point would actually be people realizing that materialist medicine is a dead end as efforts to combat COVID or other pandemics go nowhere, assuming medical applications of scalar tech can at least be imagined.

What I plan to ask of those that I attract to my work includes:
Reading this essay and diving deeply into as many areas as possible in order to begin developing comprehensive perspectives, particularly the roles of energy and consciousness;
Doing enough homework and investigation to satisfy themselves that FE technology is at least possible, usually without laying their hands on a working FE prototype or watching it in action; this is one of the more difficult tasks and usually awakening experiences are necessary to begin to understand how organized suppression works, how much chaff there is for every grain of wheat on the fringes (so much that the wheat is hard to find), and other issues in which people usually have to dive deeply and get their hands dirty, and even be misled on an issue or two before they get to the bottom of it, in order to understand the process; but they usually have to get to the bottom of at least one issue and find that it is valid, even though it may be marginalized and pilloried by the Establishment;
Beginning to understand, in as comprehensive terms as possible, what FE’s potential is;
Because my work is freely available to the public, people can digest it anonymously and quietly, and that is good work, too; however, for those whom I will ask to be in the “choir,” they will not be anonymous, and I am going to ask them to “sing” the song of abundance in cyberspace, and I seek to have the abundance song sung in a chorus of thousands, which has never happened on Earth before;
That song will attract people who have longed for it for their entire lives and if it can attract tens of thousands of people, preferably about 100,000 of them, then it will be time to take action and support a technical effort to develop FE technology for public use;
That development effort will be non-profit, virtually all of the work will be performed by volunteers, and whatever is developed will be open-sourced and given away, not sold; only a few will need to be given away before the Fifth Epochal Event will manifest.
I just wanted to read and understand what you are actually looking for, since that was never really clear to me :)
I think there are many people nowadays, probably millions, who are dabbling around in abundance mindsets and who are continuosly envisioning abundance for them and the planet.
So an inroad seems to be there. There also exist probably thousands of influencers who would love to sing that song to their audiences and help to transform the planet. "Marketing" it from an environmental perspective and thus surfing on the consciousness around that was created and primed during the last decades might work?
One of the first problems I see is that many people operate on a more shallow not big picture basis, and I guess that´s why you want people to read the essay to get it really into their bones and put meat around it.
Another issue I see is how to make the material more "user friendly" so they have an easier time getting into and connecting with it. There has been created a whole "science" of user experience, when people interact with apps etc. to make them foolproof and accessible.
Although as you have mentioned, people might to be led astray once or twice, to really learn something.
Are you currently actively disseminating the info or working by the principle that the right people will come to you and this material sooner or later?

Hi Chris (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1390279&viewfull=1#post1390279)!
Election fraud is as American as apple pie. :) JFK came to office helped by election fraud by the Mob in Chicago. Heck, JFK’s dad essentially bought him the presidency. There was definitely election fraud in 2000, the USA’s Supreme Court participated in it, and there was likely hanky-panky in the 2004 election, too.
On this round, not much would surprise me, but what I have seen of the fraud claims seems greatly overblown. It is only retail politics, after all, so it is not nearly as important as the political class believes, as everybody votes their self-interest.
Yes, nobody on Earth sees the big picture. We can’t (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/149-The-Human-Afterlife-and-the-Journey-of-our-Souls?p=2339&viewfull=1#post2339). I never thought that the GCs micromanaged the situation. They just surveil and manage key leverage points, and energy is the Big One. Keep everybody in the scarcity paradigm (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), battling each other for survival, and their game is well in hand.

Wade

Hi everyone:
It's been a tough year for all of us, I am sure.
Just want to drop by for a bit since I know how much you love Noam, Wade, so I just found about this Youtube link about one of his greatest works with Ed about Manufacturing Consent.
The film seems to focus more exclusively on Noam though but I haven't watched its entirety yet.
Just excited to see this stuff and it's been there for 3 years, I have no idea.
EuwmWnphqII
I certainly see in sections of the progressive anti-corporatist and non-sectarian left-wing about a certain development of a post-scarcity abundance mindset regarding this quasi-memeish stuff about "fully automated luxury gay space communism" coming from Aaron Bastani and there has been the books of the late Iian M Banks about the Culture series that Elon Musk, of all people, loves.
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cultures/fully-automated-luxury-gay-space-communism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Culture
It's actually a bit more of a rediscovery about classical Marxist stuff about "full communism", i.e. post-scarcity stateless communism now that the fog of the Cold War has been largely lifted, especially among the young.
But they are still trapped in the nature of confrontational class struggle politics and the idea that changes can still be done through a purely political approach to global change, which Wade talks about as "retail politics". And there is also an issue in regards to extremities of embracing "scientism" i.e. worship of organized scientific establishment and also an extreme embrace of structuralism and their almost complete aversion to certain stuff that conspiratorial stuff does happen at the highest levels out of that structural analysis, hereby ceding conspiracism to the political Right.
There is also a slow death of investigative journalism in Western media establishment, based on my perception, given that media organizations nowadays have largely gave up their power to check political authorities and became tribalistic cheerleaders of antagonistic left-right political tribes.
I remember your open letter to the radical left before, Wade, and I actually think that one of the greatest hurdles to overcome in the mindset of anti-establishment leftists, who already shed their capitalism and nationalism is mostly their scientism and structuralism.
Right now though, retail political persuasions are of negligible importance to the choir project, I am sure, given how disconnected organized politics has been from the lives of people more than ever before.
This pandemic is waking some people up, but let's see.
Wish you all the best and stay safe people.
Serg.

Hi Serg (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1390288&viewfull=1#post1390288):
That, was brilliant, young man. Your annual contributions are appreciated. That is the movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuwmWnphqII) that led to my writing to Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis/page2?p=2475&viewfull=1#post2475), back in 1992. :) Nice to see it on YouTube, and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) is in it for a minute, here (https://youtu.be/EuwmWnphqII?t=8706). I knew quite well who Ed was back then, and was happy to see him in the movie.

Hi Wegge (projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1390282&viewfull=1#post1390282):
Thanks again for that post. Good questions. Yes, there is a strain of “abundance-type” thinking in our world, and Serg (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1390288&viewfull=1#post1390288) just mentioned some of it. However, I have yet to see any of them really hit the mark. As you know, the vast majority of humanity is addicted to scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), in one way or another. As I wrote recently, Brian was quite familiar with the limitations of the various camps (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/150-The-Talents-Responsibilities-and-Limitations-of-Intellectuals/page2?p=2404&viewfull=1#post2404) that seek a better world. As he saw it, only the “Spiritualists” could see past all of obstacles to arrive at the necessary understanding. Fair enough.
I have long stated that I am not sure whether materialists can become choir-worthy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312). I still think that maybe they can, but they have a hard hill to climb. All of my fellow free energy travelers had mystical awakenings, and we were almost all scientists or scientists-in-training, and the greatest scientists generally had a mystical bent (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical). But, I still try to reach scientists, and I do (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page6?p=738&viewfull=1#post738). I have a bunch of scientists and technical professionals in my camp, but almost all of them want to hide in the shadows for now, as I stand on stage. Maybe some will join me on stage one day.
But the spiritualists have their problems, too, and nothing I have seen epitomizes the naïveté and narcissism of New Agers as much as The Secret has (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage). My wife and I were badgered for months by people in our circles, to watch this fantastic new Guide to Life, and I finally bought it and we sat down to watch it. Literally, less than a minute into it, I put it on pause, looked at my wife, and said, “This is what people are raving about?” What a truly childish movie.
I have written a great deal on my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601) and fitful awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765), and I was on center-stage with Dennis, beginning in 1987 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum), engaging the public. Those were the years of my steepest learning curve, by far, when I learned my lifetime’s most important lessons (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708). If that voice had not led me to Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), I would likely not have much worth saying.
So, as the dust cleared from those life-wrecking years, and I hit the books (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739), if you had asked me if it would lead to what I am doing today, I would have thought it a nice fantasy. :) I never imagined back then that I would be doing what I am today, for a few reasons.
After that stint with Dennis, that first choir quality (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) was etched in stone, and today, it is still the primary filter that greatly winnows down the field of potential choir-members: almost nobody cares about anything other than their immediate self-interest. I have constantly encountered free energy newcomers who violently deny that reality, as they rush out to proselytize to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). The best of them come back to me, chastened by the experience, with tales of ostracism, and are ready to begin learning. But most of them still harbor fantasies that they can somehow crack the mass movement nut (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). It is not crackable, for this Epochal task.
But to your point, what about people who are already thinking, kind of, in abundance terms? What I have found is that none of them really are thinking in Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) terms, with an understanding of the transformative potential of free energy. That is kind of strange, really, as many people quickly grasped the potential of nuclear energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#reactions), before its dangers became clear. Other than what Michael Roads saw (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), I have yet to encounter any of those camps that really think in Fifth Epoch terms and how to get there, which is why I do what I do. :)
But, that primary quality is also what that heavenly Roads world was based on: love. Love has always been the answer (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest), but in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), almost nobody even glimpses it, including all of those people who dream, in one way or another, of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance). I’ll repeat what it takes to get to where a person can truly sing the song of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/26-The-Song-of-Abundance?p=37&viewfull=1#post37), which the past 50 years have taught me:
They care (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308);
They are awake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309);
The have some mental horsepower and do the work, and that has boiled down into my scientific literacy requirement (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313), and is kind of the crux of your question.
Becoming scientifically literate and digesting scholarship is what the “smart” do in our world. I might also describe it as discernment and critical thinking. Those first two requirements I can’t help people with, not really. If people don’t care and are not awakened, work line mine will either be meaningless or seen as a threat to their existence, which is why I am universally attacked (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) if I ever join all-comers forums, and some of my assailants are professionals.
I can, however, help with that third quality, and that is really what my work is all about. But even the well-meaning constantly get stuck somewhere along the way, be it their materialism, structuralism, scientism, nationalism, religion, or economic ideologies such as capitalism. Even Dennis, Brian, and Ed were all still stuck in their Epochs in ways. I have seen it all over the years (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and what that stuckness really says is that those people really don’t care enough, to give up those security blankets. What I do helps people on the way to what I’ll call abundance thinking give up those teddy bears.
I have been trying to make my work easier to understand from the beginning. My work has come a long way since my first site in 1996 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=821&viewfull=1#post821), with 80-page essays with no chapters, and really at the beginning of my learning curve as a writer. Hiring a professional editor in 1999 was the education of my writing career. It improved so much that professional writer friends doubted that I wrote it.
On scientific literacy, I made a decision early on that I would only write in popularized science terms, and what I am doing does not require any more scientific literacy than it takes to digest my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm). But for people who care, are awake, are smart, and even think in terms of abundance in some ways, it still takes years of study to really understand what I am writing about in that essay. It is just what it takes. The biggest event in the human journey will not be achieved on people’s lunch hours.
I have found that without those qualities and doing that work, people won’t get to where I need them to be, to have a shot at my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) making a dent. I am currently a choir of one, and I spend relatively little time myself hitting the notes, but dealing with all of the stuff that is not hitting notes at all, and the Trump the Hero meme (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2564&viewfull=1#post2564) is the latest meaningless distraction that I am bombarded with. The hard part, by far, is caring and awakening. The scientific and scholarly literacy is really the easy part, and my upcoming essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447) will try to make it easier. I have written plenty on my high IQ, but it is not that high (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2497&viewfull=1#post2497). I have thought that I could be a bridge between those world-class geniuses I have known and the people I seek, making that stuff easier to understand. I am trying to put that so-called “intelligence” to good use. But I often hear from readers who break their brains on my big essay, and give up a few chapters into it. I look at it, and it really does not seem to be that hard to understand. So, it definitely takes some mental horsepower to digest it, and I have estimated that an IQ of 110 or so is enough, but some of my scientist pals are not so sure. This is probably the key issue that I have to grapple with in my work, to make it easier to understand, without watering it down. In the end, there is no substitute for doing the work. Otherwise, people fly off in all sorts of crazy directions, attracted to the latest free energy gossip and the inventor of the hour, the New Age flavor the day, retail politics, etc.
For the magnitude of the task – manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev) – I really am not asking for much, for an approach that has never been tried before, that I think can make a dent. When I step back and take in what I am doing, what an opportunity for people’s souls. I would have given my right arm to have encountered work like mine 30 years ago, and Noam’s letter to me (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis/page2?p=2475&viewfull=1#post2475) was kind of a catalyst in ways. There were no experts on this stuff, I had to become my own, and that has kind of described the past 30 years of my life. Becoming Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574), Brian’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), and Ed’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) biographers was just part of that journey, the small stuff, really, although carrying their spears and torches have been among my life’s greatest joys and honors.
So, the coming essay update (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), likely to be followed by a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481), will be more attempts to make these ideas easier to understand. But, really, I have already done more than 90% of the work to make it easier. There is only so much I can do, and it really is up to the people I seek to do the work, and I have always been ready to help them.
This journey has taught me patience, which my soul apparently came here to work on (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), but we are also in an emergency state. A third of all ensouled species in our position don’t make it, but wipe themselves out (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3). It is easy to see what is looming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and that chorus gets louder by the day (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-too-hot-for-humans.html). It is kind of surreal to me, how nearly everybody studiously avoids the solution (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), which is likely older than I am, as they are hooked on their own stunted awareness, unable or unwilling to see the bigger picture.
New Age naïveté and narcissism, crazed conspiracism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism), blind structuralism (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion), denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), and the rest – I have seen it all, and the path to constructive awareness is like walking the razor’s edge. As Noam said, if people want to learn, they have to do the work; nobody is going to open up their heads and pour in knowledge.
I am still in the phase of making my work as good as I can, to do justice to the ideas, and the next few years might be the last big push of my life on that score. More interviews (http://ahealedplanet.net/public.htm#interviews) are coming. I’ll be doing more outreach, and my work at Avalon is an example of that, but what is really going to attract the audience I seek is others who can stand on stage with me and hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). There will be no substitute for that. Nothing like it has existed on Earth before, it is worth one man’s life to try it out, and I am not nearly finished. If I saw people come along and hit higher notes than I do, I would probably carry their spears. :)
Does that answer your questions? Thanks again for posing them.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I finished The Secret Life of Groceries recently, and would like to comment on it a little. It took the author five years to research and write the book. It had chapters on Trader Joe’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trader_Joe%27s) (with interviews of Joe), Whole Foods (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Foods_Market) (before Amazon bought them out), the lives of American truck drivers, which I wrote about already (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=2579&viewfull=1#post2579), how a specialty food (Slawsa (https://www.slawsa.com/)) rose to prominence, and the terrible lives of the people, particularly in Third World nations, who provide food to the USA’s supermarkets. A chapter was on shrimp from Thailand, in which literal slaves did the work, in deadly conditions that were horrific to read about.
The supermarket is an American invention, and on my Avalon thread and elsewhere you can find the reactions of people from other nations who experienced supermarkets for the first time: crying, fainting, and the like. Khrushchev saw an American supermarket and was amazed. The Secret Life of Groceries ended with some astute observations, such as that since Upton Sinclair (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upton_Sinclair), every time that the American food supply is looked at closely, what is uncovered is disgusting. The author, however, stated at the book’s end that what he uncovered in the American food supply, from the sea to the supermarket, was only symptomatic of larger issues, and the solutions will not come from within the food industry. The real change will happen within a larger framework. I think that without knowing it, he is questing for the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
The sad fact is that any interactions between First and Third World nations, particularly for anything that comes to industrial nations from agrarian ones, will be full of exploitation and evil that takes the breath away for anybody who honestly looks at it. But this is nothing new. It began with the rise of Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal35), when Portugal began a new era of the slaving business (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slavery1), which led to the triangular trade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#commerce). The first thing that Columbus did (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#first) in the Americas was kidnap natives and search for gold, which led to his genocidal practices on Española (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide). In one form or another, those practices last to this day.
If I had to enumerate all of the monumental aspects of Noam’s and Ed’s work over the years, I think that their exposure of the USA’s imperial behavior (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection), and the complicity of the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), ranks near or at the top. The American imperial apparatus, which largely just took over from the weakened European powers in the wake of World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good), is largely responsible for keeping this evil state of affairs alive and well. Our repeated and ongoing genocides (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) in Oil Country are just more of the same, but just try to engage the average American on these subjects, or especially the educated class, who are the most brainwashed of all, as Orwell noted long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell). Wikipedia’s propaganda (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm) is just more of the same.
I doubt that I can overemphasize that humanity’s power imbalances, from Portugal’s first slave runs down the African coast to today, have always been rooted in energy imbalances. In the Fifth Epoch, when each person can command abundant levels of energy for the first time, only then will humanity’s power imbalances end. That is where scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) can help people understand that key issue, and is largely the point of my big essay.
I want to comment a little more on Serg’s brilliant post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1390288&viewfull=1#post1390288). That is one bright lad. What has been called “post-scarcity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy)” societies has been on the rise in fiction and rhetoric for a long time, and Marx (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#marx1) indeed was the most important early visionary of it. However, Marx wrote before the rise of the science of energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#industrial), so he did not understand the energetic basis of economics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), and he understandably labored under the delusions of Young Warriors (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors). But Marx brilliantly understood the unsavory aspects of our economic systems that last to this day. Maybe one of those recent post-scarcity visionaries has done it, but I have not seen one of them talk in terms of free energy yet. Energy is somewhere in their rhetoric, but nothing like what free energy would catalyze. It is mostly about AI and robotics, with energy taking a back seat. I agree that the reproduction of intelligence is in its infancy, and we have not seen anything yet, but it all rides atop the energy issue.
My wife and I recently watched the TV series The Expanse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Expanse_(TV_series)), and it was like Dickens in space; nothing like what the Fifth Epoch will look like. Until the Fifth Epoch arrives, which I doubt I will live to see, I will keep referring to that future Earth that Roads glimpsed (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), as an example of what the Fifth Epoch can look like. Even Star Trek (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#trek) is not all that visionary, but it beats nearly everything else that has been done so far.
I have had to constantly live with the surreal fact that the technologies to usher in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) are likely older than I am. Few people can handle that, and they usually react to the idea of free energy with denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greed), and the like. Almost nobody on Earth has proven willing and able to do the work that it takes to hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and that is normal.
Materialism is the predominant religion of the Fourth Epoch and, as Serg noted, is the greatest limitation of the radical left in even imagining the Fifth Epoch, which also results in their scientism, structuralism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#subtle1), and conspiracy-phobia (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#parenti), which is “balanced,” in a strange way, by the right’s crazed conspiracy-philia. One of the wackiest manifestations of that in recent years has been the Trump the Hero meme (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2575&viewfull=1#post2575), as he takes on the Deep State with his 5-D chessmanship. The right is far more deluded, but the left has blindness of a more sophisticated sort.
As Serg noted, investigative journalists have been an endangered species for many years, and The Secret Life of Groceries is one of the rare recent efforts.
And yes, Serg, those stuck in the retail politics mindset, which is mainly the political class, are of no use to an effort like mine. Heck, Ed and Noam were/are there, to a great degree, and I stopped beating my head against the left’s walls long ago. They will begin to understand when the Fifth Epoch arrives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#awaken), just like nearly everybody else. I had to relinquish judgment (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) of all of that long ago, and just keep on going, sailing where I see daylight, hunting for those needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle).

Hi:
2020 is a year that nobody over the age of five today will ever forget. This year was significant in my life in a number of ways, on the writing front and others. I probably wrote my last Ed essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm), had quite a time writing about the NAZA Nazis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis), gave a tribute for Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2266&viewfull=1#post2266), finally exposed one of Dennis’s key libelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480) (and his enablers), wrote about Brian at length (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/150-The-Talents-Responsibilities-and-Limitations-of-Intellectuals?p=2368&viewfull=1#post2368), summarized the cast of characters on my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042), revisited many memories (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/154-Memories-from-My-Life?p=2540&viewfull=1#post2540), and for the first time, documented some of my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482). I just wrote about the three millionth view of my Avalon thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page27?p=2582&viewfull=1#post2582) (mostly bots, but many thousands of humans, too), and summarized my approach and what I am trying to accomplish (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might/page5?p=2586&viewfull=1#post2586). It might seem like I am getting my affairs in order. :) I have to admit that my mortality has been on my mind a bit this year, as I officially became a senior citizen when I qualified for Social Security, and with the other mayhem of this year.
What may be the final shoe of this year dropped yesterday, when my position was eliminated at my company, primarily as a reaction to the pandemic, which hit my company hard. Looking for work at age 62 may not seem like fun, but at least there is one positive to the craziness in Seattle: the economy is booming. I was planning to work another ten years, and we will see how it goes.
But losing my job definitely meant one thing: it is time to slow way down with the forum posts, get my essay updated (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), and likely follow it with a book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/126-Publishing-a-Book?p=1481&viewfull=1#post1481). So, I am definitely going quiet, other than the stray post and putting up drafts of the revised sections of my big essay.
Time to bear down.
Best,
Wade

Good luck with your creative projects Wade! I'll selfishly miss your postings here but I'm excited about your essay and particularly your book.:handshake:
Losing the job is a major bummer, but maybe a blessing in disguise. I realize how glib and cliche sounding that is, but in this instance it feels appropriate to say somehow. Call it intuition.
Best of luck with everything.

Hi:
I am going to do my best and focus my public writings on my essay update, until I finish it. I spent the past couple of “post-employment” days doing overdue house chores, turning in my work computer and other formalities at my former job, and getting my computer and office ready to work on the essay update. I still had not completely recovered from my recent hard drive failure and what it led to on my home computer, and I just finished that recovery this morning. I also took the opportunity to get rid of old software CDs, and I threw out ones over 20 years old. I kept my Windows 95 disc, for its nostalgia value, but nearly everything else that was obsolete went. I literally use software that is 20 years old to make my site. Getting it to keep working was part of this morning’s chores.
My office is now cleaner than it has been since I moved to this house nearly nine years ago. I was able to get some stacks off my office floor and put them into a bookshelf, attached, which will be a lot of the material that I will use to write the first update to my big essay, which will be on human evolution and warfare. Picture attached. I cited some of those in my big essay already, but most of those were from my last five-to-six years of study. As with almost all of this coming essay update, these are subjects that are covered in the big essay already, but the update will go deeper and broader on the topics, and I don’t know that any of my updates with change the essay’s thrust, or even the points a whole lot. It will largely put more meat on the bones.
In short, there is an academic battle between the “hawks” and the “doves” on how ancient warfare is. IMO, the hawks win, as warfare goes way back, and human-style warfare goes back to chimps (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary). I have not been impressed with the work of the “doves,” which even Noam has endorsed, that makes the case that warfare only arose with the rise of civilization. Not only have the doves not impressed me, they seem to argue against the evolutionary aspects of warfare. IMO, humans are not hardwired genetically for warfare, nor are they hardwired for peace. They have the capacity to do both, and, IMO, it is almost completely dependent on their energy situation. Where there is plenty, there is peace, and when the easy energy runs out, I don’t care if they are chimps/bonobos (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1), hunter-gatherers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#deathrate), farmers and agrarian empires (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare), or declining industrial empires (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline) such as the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), it gets violent. The same dynamics run through all of them. If there is a point to the last half of my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint), that might be it. Of course, the final point is that with abundant and harmless energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal), something that looks like heaven on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) becomes feasible, and the technology is already (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) here for it. That is my final upshot, as well as my plan (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to help manifest it in the public sphere. We can’t forget that. :)
OK, off to my writings.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Oh God, I just drafted this, and putting much of it in my essay will not be easy. What a crazy dance.
Best,
Wade
I have chosen this place in this essay to briefly review my adventures in orthodoxy and the fringes, and how they inform my perspective today. Those experiences have influenced my work, including this essay. I have briefly mentioned that I was in training to be a scientist from a young age. That is because my father was an engineer that NASA recruited during the Space Race, and he had an Einsteinian IQ. My mother’s IQ was about half of my father’s, in a situation that is surely rare in the West today, and they played genetic roulette with their children. I am the middle child of three, IQ-wise, on the low end of the genius range, while my youngest brother’s IQ is about half of mine. That situation led to peculiar family dynamics.
I was a bookworm from the time I could walk, was always at the top of my classes since I began school, was raised around rocket scientists (1, 2) and world-class minds, but with no other frame of reference, it all seemed normal to me. At age 12, I would soon stop reading the tabloids that my mother brought home from the grocery store each week, but my career as a scientist began a subtle derailment that year. My father had artery disease, and his father soon had a series of heart attacks that forced him into retirement. At that time, orthodox Western medicine stated that my father’s condition was “normal,” and all that “medicine” could provide for my father was some pills and hope for the best. Seeking a second opinion, my father obtained a booklet from a family member that summarized scientific research that presented the idea that his continually rising blood pressure was not normal, that “civilized” food was the cause of artery disease, and that unprocessed food was the cure. I read the booklet, was impressed, our family changed our diet to save my father’s life, and it worked in spectacular fashion. In the next decade, that booklet was banned in the USA by the postal service, for offering advice that was “contrary to the weight of informed medical and scientific opinion.” The crux of the issue was that the booklet offered a treatment that people could self-administer and not incur medical bills. A couple of decades later, Western medicine began to admit that its “informed medical and scientific opinion” on the issue of heart disease was false. When I first wrote my medical racket essay in the late 1990s, the only treatments for artery disease that Western medicine offered were drugs and surgeries. In 2014, as I revised my site’s other essays to align with this one, I discovered that not only had Western medicine completely reversed its stance on the “normality” of artery disease, but the advice in that banned booklet became Western medicine’s first line of defense against artery disease! It took more than 40 years to go from the banned fringes to the mainstream.
I had a similar experience with fasting. I began a fasting regimen when I was 17, the medical establishment regarded fasting as a bizarre fad, and I put up with incomprehension and ridicule for many years. The cleansing properties of fasting were obvious to anybody who did it, but medical science was united in its disapproval of it, or advocating it only in extreme circumstances under a doctor’s supervision. I never thought that I would live to see it, but fasting has gone from bizarre to mainstream, and a Nobel Prize was recently won for scientific research on autophagy, which fasting triggers. The Bible mentions fasting dozens of times, so in this instance, it took millennia for science to catch up.
The year before I began my fasting regimen, however, I had my biggest moment of awakening past the assumptions of orthodox science, when I took a meditation class and witnessed and performed what are today called remote viewings. That experience was so spectacular that I knew that the materialistic models of consciousness are false. I did not know it at the time, but I was ruined as a mainstream scientist then, with my mystical awakening. Five years later, my astronaut colleague performed the same remote viewing exercise in a human potential class, had a similarly spectacular outcome, and he was ruined as a mainstream scientist from that moment onward, although it took several more years to finally leave the orthodox fold.
That same year of my mystical awakening, during the USA’s energy crisis that ended humanity’s greatest period of prosperity, my first professional mentor’s engine began making big waves in the government and media, and my energy dreams began then. Three years later, a desperate prayer, brought on by my first existential crisis, was answered in spectacular fashion, and I changed my studies from science to business. Eight years of idealism and disillusionment later, after I began my career, I once again prayed for guidance, was again answered (I have only done that twice in my lifetime, and don’t plan to do it again) and it landed me in the middle of the greatest effort ever made to bring alternative energy to the American marketplace, as the world’s best heating system was put on people’s homes for free, in the most benevolent and brilliant business strategy that I ever saw or heard of. That effort was wiped out by the energy oligarchy in my natal city, who saw that effort as a threat to their market dominance. One person died as a result of their efforts, and many lives were ruined. Less than a year later, I was partners with the owner of that company, and before that year was out, we were building a prototype to marry the energy-collecting component of that heating system with my mentor’s engine, to produce free energy. Even though the USA’s Attorney General at the time knew my partner by name and called him “squeaky clean,” our effort was again targeted and wiped out, after the CIA delivered an offer of $1 billion, for us to cease our efforts. My partner was lucky to survive the experience, and my life was ruined by those events, which happened in my home town.
For those whom the foregoing is hard to believe, they have my sympathy; I lived through those events, and they are still hard to believe, even for me. But that odyssey woke me up, I began the study that resulted in my public writings, and this essay forms its capstone. The year after I staggered from my home town, to never return, I met my astronaut colleague, who was just beginning his free energy investigations. The next year, he nearly lost his life and had his life shortened after an encounter with high-ranking military officials who tried to recruit him into a classified UFO project. He was afraid to go public with that encounter, thinking that the military might finish the job if he did, and the closest that he ever came to writing about it was in the prologue of his final book.
Not long after those events, a close colleague was kidnapped and given an underground technology show, in which free energy, antigravity, and a host of mind-boggling technologies were demonstrated. I believe that demonstration was mounted by a dissident faction of the global controlling organization, who do not want their power games to turn Earth into a cinder, and my friend was shown those technologies to encourage his efforts. I had long known of independent efforts to develop such technologies, even putting aside our efforts, but once my friend described his underground demonstration to me, I had no doubt that those technologies had been developed to a commercial level long ago. In subsequent years, particularly when I worked with my astronaut colleague and became his biographer, I became aware of that milieu in ways that I previously was not aware, and people in my circles can top my stories in these subjects.
Suffice it to state that the principles behind the operation of those technologies render the corpus of modern physics something akin to cave drawings. So, why am I writing an essay that contains a great deal of orthodox science and scholarship in it, which does not even hint at the reality that I just described? Because it has its place. None of the above is relevant to the extinction of dinosaurs, for instance, and for all of its great limitations, orthodoxy has its place, and it can be an important place. I do not take anything from orthodoxy or the fringes on faith. It can all be subjected to the toolset of science, the methods of scholarship, and the like, at least if the evidence is not being sequestered, and people do not have to risk their lives to adduce it. Even then, as the greatest scientists knew, the scientific process has limitations that will always prevent it from truly describing the big picture of reality. We can only grope forward, rather blindly, as we try to figure it out. But the groping is a worthwhile exercise.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have been driven to write a little on current events. I am working hard on the essay update, and I could spend all-day, every day, on current events, but I have to get my work done. But it has been hard to ignore both the deranged conspiracist emails that I receive, as well as the media’s attacks on “conspiracy theories.” Both camps miss the boat.
For starters, I have been hearing “Trump versus the deep state (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2575&viewfull=1#post2575)” stuff since he was elected, and QAnon is the standard conspiracist disinformation that the conspiracy crowd laps up with their morning coffee. Virtually none of it is valid, IMO, and the valid bits are overwhelmed by the fantasy and outright lies. The sitting president is too far down the food chain of power on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) to make a dent, and making an obvious megalomaniac into some kind of white knight on a steed is bizarre. The so-called deep state is a national issue, not a global one, so the deep state, even in history’s most powerful nation, is not really dealing with the big issues. Caitlin Johnstone, as usual, has one of the more level-headed takes on the issue (https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/11/14/unelected-officials-override-the-president-to-continue-wars-but-only-kooks-believe-in-the-deep-state/).
That stated, the mainstream media itself can’t seem to wrap its head around the idea that its blatant lying (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday) has helped fuel this sad state of affairs. I am a vocal vaccination skeptic, for good reason (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484), and the Western medical paradigm is largely fraudulent, foisted on the public, with fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory), orthodox cancer treatment (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket), bypass surgery (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#bypass), and other fraudulent practices foisted on the American public, up there with asbestos cigarette filters (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lorillard). I think that the germ theory of disease (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#germ) can be challenged, and the medicine of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm1) will look nothing like what organized medicine is today, but there is also crazed conspiracism on the COVID-19 issue, up there with the Trump the Hero meme in its validity.
The media lumps insane and paranoid conspiracism with the very real “conspiracies” that the media has long swept under the carpet, such as JFK’s murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), the UFO/ET issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2), the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) and reality (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) of free energy technology, etc. This (https://www.livescience.com/11375-top-ten-conspiracy-theories.html) “scientific” article from 2008 lumps them all together, and I was spurred to write this because of these two articles (1 (https://www.vox.com/21558524/conspiracy-theories-2020-qanon-covid-conspiracies-why), 2 (https://news.yahoo.com/how-to-talk-about-conspiracy-theories-222147904.html)) that I saw in recent days. I could comment at great length on those articles, but I’ll just say that the crazed conspiracism that we see today is a key reason why I state that scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) is a choir requirement. Without the deep thinking and discriminating thought process that scientific work entails, people tend to go off the deep end, into paranoid fantasy, jumping at the nearest bright shiny object, and the like. I chronicled the stunning lack of discernment within the free energy field recently (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), and all fringe areas suffer from that lack of integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) and discernment, but the mainstream does, too. Hunting for needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle)…

Hi:
This is too rich to not comment on. Earlier this month, I got a letter from the IRS, stating that they have to verify my identity before they process my income tax return. The return I filed does not ask for a refund, so it is mysterious why they need to establish my identity in the first place. They gave me three options to establish my identity:
1. Appear in person at their office, with the proper documents;
2. Use their website, to establish my identity;
3. Phone in to establish my identity.
So, I tried online, but their records don’t reflect my current phone number, so they don’t allow me to verify my identity online. I just phoned in, got the usual robot, which said that the IRS is overwhelmed right now, so to call at a later time. I went online to set up an appointment in Seattle, which I hate driving in to, and their site says that their office is closed for weeks. So, they literally gave me no avenue to reply to their letter that demands that I establish my identity. To make this “funnier,” I had to jump through several identity hoops at the website that I filed my return through. But, that was not good enough for the IRS.
We live in truly insane times.

Hi:
The essay update is going well. As I began the process, I decided that I needed to overhaul some beginning chapters, first, to kind of set the foundation for the rest. I am only tweaking these chapters (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/137-This-Essay%C2%92s-Key-Ideas-and-Themes), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox)), and the changes may not be significant enough to put up drafts of them before I publish the updated essay. Maybe I’ll put up snippets. The magnitude of this essay update, however, is becoming clearer to me, and it will be a big job. I see my forum posting slowing way down until the essay update is finished.
But I am also constantly reading, and I want to call attention to a journalist who deserves more. Helen Buyniski has been raking Wikipedia over the coals for years, and here is her latest (http://helenofdestroy.com/index.php/exposing-wikipedia), which explored the Wikimedia Foundation’s conflicts of interest. She used to publish at medium.com (https://medium.com/), but she was recently wiped out there (all of her articles there were erased), after probably stepping on powerful toes. People like us have to have our own sites, so that our work is not completely wiped out like that. Here (https://www.rt.com/shows/on-contact/441852-wikipedia-elite-journalist-discussion/) is an interview of her with Chris Hedges. It is on RT, and it brings up an issue near and dear to me. Here (https://www.rt.com/usa/394949-chomsky-says-us-racing-toward-precipice-trump/) is Hedges interviewing Noam on RT. An American professor interviewing another American professor, but they have to do it on Russian TV, because there are not any venues in the USA for them to do that. Wow! There are few starker confirmations of Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday) than that.
Well, it looks like the Trump the Hero meme, who really won the election, may finally be dying down, although I still get daily emails on the issue. One thing that became clear to me is that Robert David Steele has no credibility. I just looked at his blog posts (https://phibetaiota.net/), and it is the usual conspiracist suspects, with a lot of it at the tabloid level. He is at the other end of the spectrum from Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2266&viewfull=1#post2266), and seems like those “New Age” military officials that Brian had his life-shortening run-in with (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch/page2?p=2470&viewfull=1#post2470). I keep a very wary eye toward officials and former officials from the military and spook world who have the New Age/conspiracist jargon down, and seem to have seen the light. They are very likely not who they appear to be.

Hi:
Here is an example of what I am currently doing. I just drafted this this morning, under a section heading titled, “The schism of modern physics.”
Best,
Wade
Newton’s Principia guided physics for two centuries, until Einstein burst onto the scene with relativity, which rejected Newton’s assumptions of absolute time and space. Einstein did not dream of where his idea of light “quanta” would lead to in 20 years, when Werner Heisenberg developed matrix mechanics, for which Einstein nominated him for a Nobel Prize. The primary upshot of quantum mechanics, particularly its Copenhagen interpretation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_interpretation), primarily authored by Niels Bohr, was that the strange paradox of quantum mechanics, in which light (or electrons) can be seen as waves or particles, depending on how they are observed, means that science can never really know the underlying reality of measured phenomena; all that scientists can do is measure what is detectable, and base their theories on that.
Einstein violently disagreed with the Copenhagen interpretation, and assailed quantum mechanics for the rest of his life, believing it to be an incomplete theory. Those events created a schism in physics that lasts to this day. Relativity is considered the last major theory of the classical physics era, and quantum physics, with its paradoxes, discontinuities, superposition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition), “spooky action at a distance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement),” and other features, is considered the first theory of modern physics. Big Bang cosmology, with its unobserved dark energy and dark matter, and the standard model of particle physics form the other the pillars of orthodox physics today. But they can’t all be right. Something is awry.
Relativity and quantum theory form the foundation of 21st-century physics, but they are incompatible theories. Einstein spent the rest of his life in a futile quest for the unified field theory, which would weld relativity and quantum mechanics into one theory (“quantum gravity” is one such idea). The latest attempt to unite the two is string theory, and its related M-theory, which is not really a theory at all, but only a vague hunch. Stephen Hawking was notorious for making grand statements about ideas that did not even make it to the hypothesis stage, treating such wild ideas as facts, and he declared that M-theory was Einstein’s elusive unified field. That body of theory necessitated ideas such as the multiverse and “many worlds” ideas. The problem with all of that post-quantum-theory body of work is that there is literally no empirical support for them. Those hypotheses and “theories” have been derisively called “fairy-tale physics,” as they have yet to provide anything that can be tested.

Hi:
I finished drafting some new sections of this chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#formation) of my big essay, presented below. These drafts posted in forums will not have the footnotes or links to my site, which will be in the published version, but I left in external links. This was on the birth of the universe and origin of the solar system and Earth. I only surveyed the Big Bang to the birth of the solar system, as those times are not too relevant to my essay’s thrust. Similarly, the next section I am working on covers from the origin of life on Earth to the Last Universal Common Ancestor (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca). I doubt that today’s type of science will ever convincingly describe how life on Earth arose from inanimate chemicals, so I will only survey the various hypotheses, and my essay’s narrative really begins in detail with that Last Universal Common Ancestor, which all life on Earth is descended from.
Best,
Wade
In the tables above, some dates have ranges, as such old dates often have relatively thin evidence supporting them, which can be interpreted in various ways. Those dates will be adjusted as the scientific evidence and theories further develop, and radical changes will undoubtedly happen. Over the past generation of my studies in scientific efforts on the ancient past, whether it is cosmology (the study of the origins of the universe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmology)), geology (the study of the solid Earth and its past (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology)), paleontology (the study of fossils (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleontology)), or the newer field of paleobiology (the combination of paleontology with biology, which has spawned numerous subdisciplines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleobiology#Important_research_areas)), the dates of events are continually being revised and debated, as new evidence is adduced. In the area of paleobiology, a noticeable trend has been that the dates of events are regularly revised to have them happening earlier. I am not aware of anybody in the scientific community credibly challenging the Sun’s or Earth’s age, but events regarding the formation of the solar system are continually challenged, and a new consensus can form, which is always provisional, depending on what new evidence might support.
The basic cosmology of a Big Bang and a constantly expanding universe has been challenged from the beginning, and is still challenged in unorthodox corners. Similar to the origin of life issue, I am going to put the Big Bang and the idea of a constantly expanding universe aside, as it is not very relevant to this essay. The mystical literature I have read is also not united on the issue. The idea of a Big Bang, in which the entire universe came from literally nothing, something smaller than a pinhead, is as fantastic as anything in the Bible or other religious literature. Einstein introduced his cosmological constant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant), which he always regretted doing, as it was a kind of fudge factor to make his general theory of relativity work, and has been called his “biggest blunder.” Many scientists have argued that the universe came into being in a less “bangy” way. A key event in Big Bang cosmology, called “cosmic inflation,” in which the universe expanded, faster than the speed of light, for less than a second after the Big Bang, has been challenged by physicists (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation_(cosmology)#Criticisms) since it was developed in the 1980s, including by one of the idea’s authors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Steinhardt#Inflationary_cosmology). Those issues will likely not be resolved in my lifetime.
The Big Bang and expanding universe aside, astronomers have studied millions of star systems, have been able to see the births and deaths of star systems, recently photographed a black hole, and achieved other mind-boggling technological feats. Orthodoxy’s theories of star system and planet formation, and how stars die and give rise to new stars, is on far firmer footing, as they have observed some of those events, unlike the Big Bang. So, this essay’s narrative will begin with the formation of this solar system and its planets.
The standard cosmological story today is that earlier in the universe’s history (which began 13.7 bya, in the orthodox models), virtually all mass in the observable universe was contained in hydrogen atoms, with traces of the next two lightest elements: helium and lithium. According to the Standard Model, atoms have no mass by themselves, but the field that gives rise to the Higgs Boson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson) provides the mass. Gravity attracted hydrogen atoms to each other and, where “clumps” of hydrogen became large enough, the pressure in the clump’s center (a star’s core) became great enough so that the mutual repulsion of the protons in hydrogen nuclei was overcome (like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract), and the protons fused together. That fusion released vast amounts of energy, and fusion powers stars.
Depending on the star’s size and the resulting temperatures and pressures, various larger elemental nuclei can be produced. Iron is the heaviest element created during a large star’s primary fusion process. Nuclei larger than the simplest hydrogen nucleus contain neutrons as well as protons. As the name implies, neutrons have no net electric charge, but have about the same mass as a proton (an electron has less than a thousandth the mass of a proton, so virtually all the mass in atoms is provided by its protons and neutrons). Radioactive decay into daughter isotopes is mediated by the weak nuclear force (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_interaction).
In the smaller stars that eventually become white dwarfs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dwarf), the primary fusion process creates oxygen as its heaviest element. Even though the Sun is larger than about 95% of the Milky Way Galaxy’s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way) stars, it is destined to become a white dwarf in about six or seven billion years.
Several different fusion processes have been identified, and stars from about half the size of the Sun to about nine times larger can undergo a process known as s-process fusion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-process) late in their lives, and that process has created about half of the elements heavier than iron; bismuth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth) is the heaviest element created by the process. Those heavier elements are eventually blown from the star by its stellar wind as it becomes a white dwarf. Stars with more than nine times the mass of the Sun undergo a different process at the end of their lives. When the hydrogen and helium fuel is used up and the fusion processes in those stars’ cores are reduced low enough, gravity will cause those stars to collapse in on themselves. That collapse creates the pressures needed to fuse atoms heavier than iron. In an instant, r-process fusion occurs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-process). Depending on a collapsing star’s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova#Core_collapse) composition, it can collapse into a black hole or neutron star or explode into a supernova. The heaviest naturally occurring elements on Earth, such as gold, are thought to have been primarily created (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova_nucleosynthesis#/media/File:Nucleosynthesis_periodic_table.svg) by colliding neutron stars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_star_merger).
When a star becomes a supernova, those heavy elements are sprayed into the galactic neighborhood by a cataclysmic release of fusion energy. Plutonium is the heaviest naturally produced element on Earth, but uranium is Earth’s heaviest element of significance. Over the subsequent eons, gravity will cause the remnants of stars, and hydrogen that had not yet become a star or did not fuse within a star, to coalesce into an accretion disk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_disc), and a new star with its attendant planets will form, although some scientists today believe that 95% of the star formation in our universe is completed. The Sun will take more than ten billion years to live its life cycle before becoming a white dwarf. Large stars burn much more quickly and can become supernovas after as little as ten million years of main-sequence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_sequence) burning. The rule is: the larger the star, the shorter its life.
The accretion disk from which the Sun and its planets were formed are currently argued to have appeared in a relatively short time, perhaps as little as 200,000 years, and the disk was originally a molecular cloud that may have been disturbed by a supernova. A "local" exploding star likely provided the bulk of our solar system's matter, and the entire mess gravitationally collapsed into the disk. In a mere 50 million years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formation_and_evolution_of_the_Solar_System#Pre-solar_nebula) after formation, the Sun became compressed enough to initiate the sustained fusion that still powers it and will for several billion more years. Our solar system’s planets initially formed from clumps of heavier atoms, and the rocky planets formed in a region too hot for lighter elements and compounds to condense. Oxygen and iron, those two largest products of main-sequence burning, comprise nearly two-thirds of Earth’s mass.
Earth’s age is estimated to be about 4.6 billion years (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/timeline.htm), formed fewer than 100 million years after the Sun did, and Earth’s formation has been the subject of a great deal of research and speculation. An estimate of Earth’s formation, published in 2020 (https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/7/eaay7604), has it happening in five million years. The paper presenting that estimate also challenged a long-standing hypothesis regarding how Earth got its water. Its hypotheses is based on studying elemental isotopes, predominantly iron’s. The most accepted hypothesis for many years has been that Earth was initially too hot to retain any “volatiles” such as water, and that it received its water via the bombardment of comets and “planetesimals” rich in water. That paper, however, presented the idea that water would have been part of Earth’s formation, and that Earth was outside of the Sun’s original “frost line (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formation_and_evolution_of_the_Solar_System#Formation_of_planets),” so that it retained its original volatiles, while Venus wasn’t, and lost its original water. Also, that paper presented the idea that the impact that formed the Moon would have come from a planetesimal from a similar orbit, not one from farther out in the solar system.
In contrast, in 2019, a paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-019-0779-y) was published based on isotopic evidence of molybdenum, which concluded that Earth got its water from the impactor that formed the Moon, and that it came from the outer early solar system. In recent years, the hypotheses for the Moon’s formation have been challenged (https://www.quantamagazine.org/what-made-the-moon-new-ideas-try-to-rescue-a-troubled-theory-20170802/). The simplest hypothesis seems to be that the impactor was from a close neighbor, not a body from the outer solar system. Moon rocks obtained by NASA’s Apollo missions show that the oldest parts of the Moon’s surface are about the same age as Earth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rock), although scientists are eager for more Moon rocks, selected from different parts of the Moon, as they suspect that their sample is biased, perhaps by the same event that rained rocks across the Moon’s face. Similarly, a hypothesized prominent event of early solar system formation was called the Late Heavy Bombardment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Heavy_Bombardment). The reality of that event has been challenged in recent years (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-01074-6). Instead of a Late Heavy Bombardment, it is now proposed that after “only” 100 million years or so, the solar system was largely cleared of the accretion disk’s debris, a recent finding supports the idea that by 4.4 bya, Earth had attained the water planet status that it has today, and there is evidence that the continents began forming then.
If the Hadean Eon ended 4.4 bya instead of the 4.0 bya that has been previously hypothesized, it gave life more time to perform its greatest feat ever: coming into existence.
Those ongoing controversies are fair examples of how today’s science works, with ongoing research with science’s constantly improving toolset, and competing hypotheses arise, to be subjected to more testing of new evidence, and I will be surprised if those issues are resolved in my lifetime, and if consensus is reached on how Earth got its water and how the Moon formed, will it be an accurate consensus?
NASA plans to send a probe in 2022 to 16 Psyche (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_Psyche), an asteroid made almost entirely out of metal. It is thought to be the remnant of a planetesimal that was destroyed in the early solar system. Scientists have discovered meteorites that have magnetic fields, and a recent paper (https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/30/eaba1303) presents the argument that those magnetic meteorites came from a destroyed planetesimal that had a magnetic core, similar to Earth’s. It is more evidence of the early solar system’s prodigious violence.

Hi:
I have been working on the early life on Earth chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#life). It is getting a pretty big overhaul – one of the most significant in my essay update – and I see this taking another week or so. Because of my mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#remote), I know that the materialistic models of consciousness are false. But, my work is decidedly not some Creationist tract that argues for an Earth that is 6,000 years old, or that it is flat (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth), or that the Moon landings were faked (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), or that Trump is a secret hero who will spring the trap on the Deep State any day now (https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-11-28-situation-update-nov-28th-art-of-war-trump-won-election.html)! :) When Trump finally leaves office, without a peep about the Deep State, I am going to have a lot to say about these Deep State fantasies and those who promoted them. I hope that an entire wing of New Age conspiracism has its credibility permanently removed. It really has been a tawdry spectacle, and I keep getting bombarded with it. But maybe they just count on an endless stream of new dupes to arrive.
I am not going to provide much on that chapter for now, but I will reproduce one statement, buried deeply in that chapter, below.
Best,
Wade
The diagrams used in this chapter are only intended to provide a glimpse of the incredible complexity of structure and chemistry that takes place at the microscopic level in organisms, and people can be forgiven for doubting that it is all a miraculous accident. I doubt it, too, as did Einstein (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#einstein).
Because I know (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#remote) that the materialistic models of consciousness are false, I have a hard time believing in the randomness and “blind watchmaker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blind_Watchmaker)” explanations for the origin of life and subsequent evolution. While “intelligent design” arguments and evidence can be worth investigation and challenge, the theory of evolution has been misused to support materialism and its variants (such as atheism). In my opinion, the role that consciousness plays in the journey of life on Earth is far too subtle for most methods of today’s science to productively engage. That scientific exploration largely lies in the future, and will not resemble today’s science very much. For me, describing the blueprint (DNA) for proteins falls far short of accounting for how the products of catalyzed reactions are used to build and maintain cells and organisms. It would be like finding the directions for building nails and finished lumber, and thinking it explains how a house is built, from the planning to building the foundation to pounding the nails to installing the windows, and then concluding that the house built itself, in some kind of miraculous accident.
Even if today’s version of science can unravel all of that, to conclude that consciousness was not involved with that house’s construction will be nothing more than a belief, and a shaky one at that. But I will largely lay aside the issue of consciousness and evolution in this essay, other than to note that more developed brains allow for more sophisticated levels of thought to manifest. Following Knoll’s lead (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#intent), this narrative, at least until this essay reaches the human journey, will be far more about process and history than it will intent. I consider evolution to be a fact of existence, although there is plenty of important debate and research on the mechanics of it, and I suspect that life on Earth came into existence in a naturalistic way, so that abiogenesis will be the prevailing hypothesis one day, even though scientists today can only make educated guesses on the subject, but I also believe that consciousness was there from the beginning.

Wade

Hi:
I am barreling along, and as usual, I am jumping around right now, revising and adding material, when the issues come up. It is like a house under construction, with quite a mess on the floor, and I am even just throwing links in sections at times, as placeholders for what I need to write about. I just drafted the below, which will come early in the essay.

This essay deals at length with evolutionary data and hypotheses, and I will briefly discuss my views on the subject. There is a school of thought that relegates all investigations of the past as exercises in history, not science. The so-called Big Bang (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bigbang) is not an event that can be reproduced and studied, and its causes explored. The origin of life on Earth is similar to the Big Bang in that it is not observable, and even if life was created in the laboratory, it would not prove that life really began that way. Not only that, but the entire idea of continual descent with modification, leading from something microscopic to me, in four billion years or so of evolution, is a matter of history. That history can be investigated with the toolset of science, but like a murder verdict in court, the best that an investigation of the past can yield is certainty beyond a reasonable doubt, and it is debatable that evolutionary theory has reached that threshold.
Critics of evolutionary theory claim that evolutionary theory makes many unproven and unwarranted inferences, such as arguing that one set of fossils representing a species is intermediate between two other fossils, as an evolutionary link between them. All that can be made are inferences.
However, those inferences can be highly persuasive. I will present an example in geology, first. In 1900, humanity had not adduced much evidence yet, and the theory had yet to be posited that the continents could “drift (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Wegener#Continental_drift_theory).” The dismissed idea was revived generations later with the rise of plate tectonics, and ocean floors have since been mapped. The Hawaiian Islands are the terminus of an underwater mountain range that runs for more than 6,000 kilometers, which was discovered when the ocean floor was mapped. That trail of underwater mountains (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hawaii1) on the Pacific Ocean’s floor, the movement of the Pacific Plate that can be measured today, and the radioactive datings of the mountains all neatly align with the “inference” that the Hawaiian Islands are only the most recent mountains created by that “hotspot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_hotspot)” as the Pacific Plate travels over it, and the hotspot is about 85 million years old, according to that interlocking data. The greater erosion of the older mountains is only more evidence to pile onto the inference. It is merely an inference that the hotspot created those mountains, but I do not know of anybody who disputes it, even though Young Earth advocates have tried to explain the calculated age of the chain away by challenging the consistency of radioactive decay and plate movements, but they are grasping at straws, in my opinion, much like I have seen Flat Earth advocates (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth) make their arguments, or those arguing for faked Moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo) and other conspiracist topics.
On the issue of evolution, much like that hotspot, scientists can measure DNA mutations (changes in the sequence), which are happening today, know how they happen, and the mutations in DNA are thought to be a key aspect of how species change. The first chapter of Darwin’s The Origin of Species is devoted to evolution due to domestication. In my lifetime, through selective breeding, the silver fox was domesticated (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#silverfox). Darwin’s inference on domestication has been proven far beyond any reasonable doubt. In recent years, the most vexing problem of evolutionary theory – how novelty is generated, – has been a subject of intense investigation, and while DNA mutations are important, they may be more to “set” the change than initiate it. Similar to the moving hotspot, the key processes of evolutionary novelty are established fairly convincingly, and the only difference I can see between “macro” (the appearance of new species) and “micro” (variation with a species) evolution is how long the process is measured. Given enough time, it is not hard to see how microevolution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microevolution) becomes macroevolution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroevolution), even though it has never been observed, as it takes thousands of years to happen, according to the prevailing theories. That scientists were able to greatly accelerate the hypothesized process, so that it could be seen in action, puts any reasonable doubt to rest on that evolutionary mechanism. Sure, it is only an inference that evolution works in those ways (mutation, sexual reproduction), but I am persuaded of its validity.
When scientists have three fossils, reliably dated, and the transition of features between them is evident, I am convinced that those three fossils depict evolutionary changes. In my studies of evolution, I have encountered many examples like that, and I am persuaded that evolution is a reality on Earth. I do not have much doubt on the general validity of the so-called tree of life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treeoflife), which depicts evolutionary descent relationships, on the way from the Last Universal Common Ancestor (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca) to all cellular life on Earth today. I can also accept that the first life arose from “lifeless” molecules, although the concept is mind-boggling and there is no evidence for that event and probably never will be. That can be called faith, but I do not consider it a great leap to get there. However, I also know (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown) that the materialistic models of consciousness are false; I believe that consciousness was there from the beginning, and likely guided the process somehow. I am also ready to accept that extraterrestrials planted the first life on Earth. I just need to see evidence that convinces me.

Wade

Hi:
This will be a brief post on a subject that I have written about plenty, and I wanted to put them under one roof. More posts are coming under this new thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/155-Receiving-a-Fair-Hearing?p=2598&viewfull=1#post2598), but they will be scattered over the coming months, as I work on the essay revision in earnest. A great deal of what I write about, as far as what the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) portends, relates to technologies that already exist (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), practices that already exist, and ideas that are well-known, at least in unorthodox corners. But they have not had fair hearings, and that is the point of this coming thread.
Without having a fair hearing, there is no way that orthodoxy can even have informed opinions on the issues, but this is a rampant condition. Long ago, I wrote an essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm) that touched on the subject, and I’ll provide some examples to start it off:
As Noam stated long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#orders), the Propaganda Model predicts that it won’t even be discussable in the media, Ed and Noam have been libeled for their entire careers as media analysts (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms), and it has even followed Ed beyond the grave (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#wikipedia);
I have watched media attacks on Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072) since I met him, and even the talking heads in the free energy field libel him (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480);
The “skeptics” cannot string two logical thoughts together (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2421&viewfull=1#post2421), when they are not being criminally dishonest (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel);
Vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484) and fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory) are two examples of violent medical interventions that have never had fair hearings as to their safety and efficacy;
It took more than 40 years for the information in the booklet that saved my father’s life (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#stale) to get a fair hearing (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#mayo), after that booklet was banned (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#banned); similarly, fasting has come in from the lunatic fringe (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/109-The-Medical-Racket?p=2097&viewfull=1#post2097), and I constantly see articles today, from mainstream sources, on its miraculous effects, such as this one (https://getpocket.com/explore/item/japanese-fasting-study-reveals-complex-metabolic-changes-in-the-human-body?utm_source=pocket-newtab) just the other day; what I have seen in the medical establishment is reminiscent of that totalitarian trope: “That which is not forbidden is compulsory.”
Those “impossible” microscopes of Rife (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife) and Naessens (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens) are older than I am, and neither has ever had a fair hearing in orthodoxy, except when Rife’s microscope was new and a scientific sensation, before the medical racket’s sledgehammer came down on it, the same establishment that promoted asbestos cigarette filters (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lorillard).
I could easily make that list ten times as long, but that is a good start. As I see it, the reason for it all is scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). My journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) on the integrity issue and Brian’s query on whether humanity is really a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience) are the central issues of this situation. In our world of scarcity, fear, greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), and rampant evil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), these are typical outcomes, and why humanity races to its self-destruction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) these days. In the Fifth Epoch, what we see today, in all directions, will seem like a bad dream. Fair hearings will be the order of the day in the Fifth Epoch, as nobody is protecting their turf, inflicting their self-serving ways, etc. Almost nothing of today’s world will survive in the Fifth Epoch, and nobody is going to miss it, except maybe the dark pathers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), who will no longer have such fertile fields to plow.

Hi:
The latest former-official admission of the ET presence (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-s-ex-space-boss-trump-was-on-the-verge-of-revealing-extraterrestrials-existence/ar-BB1bKrLF) is an interesting one. As I have stated plenty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2), the most important aspect of the acknowledged ET presence will be the technologies that they came here with, as they will change how we live. Acknowledging the ET presence, by itself, “only” changes our story. What my work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page27?p=2582&viewfull=1#post2582) is really all about is helping ensure a harmless transition into the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). That was the essence of our proposal to the DOE (http://ahealedplanet.net/impacts.htm), and my work will become more relevant than ever, if there is open official acknowledgement of the ET presence. That Israeli official’s admission is likely not some loose-cannon report, but part of a plan. I know that the technologies are real (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and the rest is noise, IMO.

Hi:
Well, updating this chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#life) is taking longer than I thought, but for good reason. It is going to be the meat of the essay on the chemistry of life. Nearly all of the scientifically interesting innovations in biochemistry happened before the Cambrian Explosion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cambrian). The rise of complex life was really not all that interesting, from a chemistry/physics perspective. I decided that with this essay update, the science would get a makeover, to make it broader, deeper, and actually easier to understand for laypeople. It is quite a challenge, but the kind that I love.
The last chapters of my big essay, beginning here (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), really won’t get changed that much, as they are matters of personal history, both mine and that of my fellow travelers, and my vision of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) has not changed much at all, nor will my ideas (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) on how to help us get there harmlessly. There will be some tweaks, but nothing will fundamentally change.
The chapters on the human Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) will receive significant revisions, but the thrust of those chapters won’t change much. This is exciting work for me to do, when I get to be creative. It is possible that I will be able to devote the next few months to this, and if so, then I will largely finish the revision. If not, then I likely will not finish it until 2022, in my “spare” time. We’ll see how it goes. If I had to guess, the current version of my big essay is about 70% of the way to what I envision the next revision to be.
Best,

Hi:
Here is an example of what I am working on. My graphic artist skills are a little short of professional ( :) ), but adequate for the points I am making. I use Visio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visio) to make my diagrams, and generally rob images from Wikimedia Commons. One of the key themes of that early life chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#life) will be what an energy dynamo a living cell is. That theme is already clear, but it will be far more explicit in the essay update. Attached are three image drafts that will go into the essay update.
Briefly, cell membranes are made of lipids (fat), which are great insulators. The same dynamic happens in prokaryotes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#prokaryote) (simple cell organisms such as bacteria) and eukaryotes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eukaryote) (which have complex cells, such as all plants and animals). Electrons are stripped from “donor” molecules and sent through an electron transport chain. In a mitochondrion, which is the energy center of complex cells, and our bodies, by weight, are 10% mitochondria, electrons are stripped from food and sent through the electric transport chain toward an oxygen atom, which is the biggest electron hog next to fluorine (which is why aerobic respiration is what nearly all complex life uses). That oxygen “suction” sends electrons racing through the electron transport chain. Ultimately, those free electrons came from stripping them from hydrogen atoms, and once the electron is stripped off, what is left is a proton.
As the electrons race toward the oxygen atoms, the energy of their movement pushes protons across the inner membrane. There are two basic outcomes to pushing the protons across that membrane. The first is that the proton concentration is now greater on the far side of that membrane, so simple diffusion would compel the protons to migrate back to the original side, if there was a hole in the inner membrane for them to return by. The second and most important outcome is that pushing those protons across the membrane creates an electric potential across the membrane, in which the charges will equalize if given the chance. At the scale it happens in cells, that electric potential is the equivalent to that which drives lightning. The inner membrane hosts cellular machinery, such as the electron transport chain, which pushes those protons outside of the inner membrane.
Other cellular machinery allows the protons back in, and those rushing lightning bolts of protons flowing back inside the inner membrane power the “shaft” of a turbine, turning it just like a waterwheel or a crankshaft in a car’s engine. Bacteria have flagella, which are tails that propel them through the water of their environments, like the propeller on a boat. A flagellum is powered by that proton-driven shaft. That same turbine structure also makes ATP in both simple and complex cells. That ATP-making turbine spins at hundreds of times a second, and the human body has hundreds of quintillions of them (about 200,000,000,000,000,000,000) churning out ATP molecules, which provides all energy used in all cellular life on Earth. A human body produces more than its own weight in ATP each day.
Pound-for-pound, a complex cell consumes energy 100,000 times as fast as the Sun produces it. Life is an incredibly energy-intensive process. This is one of the several makeovers that that chapter is receiving. As with all of my writings like this, the tale grows with the telling. We’ll see how big that chapter gets, and whether I will need to split it in two. If I do, I will likely split it into simple and complex life.

Hi:
At this time, I plan to take 2021 off and finish my essay update, and follow it with a book, which will only be an abridged version of my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm). I had pressure to finish my big essay the first time that I wrote it, in 2014. This time, I think that I won’t have that pressure, so I expect it to be a polished effort, more so than my work has been in the past. I am going at it now, and don’t plan to let up until I get it done. I may not have another stint like this in my lifetime, but we’ll see. When Manufacturing Consent came out (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), Ed was 63, only a little older than I am now, and his next decade was his most productive as a public writer. Ed is one of my writing models, and if I can do it until I am 92, like Ed did, it will be a very good run indeed, and maybe the dent I make will be big enough to help humanity turn the corner.

Hi:
Writing comprehensively like I do is quite a process. It is often like throwing a bunch of spaghetti against the wall, and then rearranging it to make the picture I want to draw. In the past couple of weeks, I have been writing on various ideas that I want to get across, each one kind of independently. When I finish a process like that, I then take the ideas and meld them together. That is where my Artisan nature (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading) comes to the fore, as I reorganize and interweave the topics, to get across a comprehensive view. The final version will likely look a bit different from the below, but it is what I patched together this morning, and I like how it looks. What you can’t see in these forum posts of section drafts are the references and links to other areas of my site, and the big essay in particular. Also, I am inserting quite a few visual aids, some of which I attached to a recent post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/14-Chapter-7-Early-Life-on-Earth?p=2601&viewfull=1#post2601).
As I recently stated, nearly all of the essential chemical processes of biology were invented by bacteria and archaea. What has happened in the eon of complex life has been relatively uninteresting, from a chemistry perspective. Oxygenic photosynthesis and aerobic respiration is about all that complex life does today, and anaerobic environments are nearly all buried beneath the soil or sediments. Bacteria and archaea invented DNA, ATP, respiration, photosynthesis, reproduction, nitrogen-fixing, and carbon-fixing, and complex life inherited all of that from that simple-celled life that invented all of that over billions of years. Complex life is just Johnny-come-lately, as we have our ephemeral day in the sun.
Because I decided to take the next year off, I am going to be going at it all in a breadth and depth that I have only fantasized about. This is going to be fun. So, the below are the first sections of the reworked early life on earth chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#life). There is a lot more to come in that chapter, and I suspect that I will break the chapter into two pieces: simple life and complex life. We’ll see how it turns out.
Best,
Wade
The fossil record unearthed so far is too rich, in aggregate, to provide creationists much opportunity to challenge the idea of evolution. But creationists can credibly challenge mainstream science’s story of the origin of life on Earth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis), which has been called “by far the weakest strut of the chassis of modern biology.” As I write this in 2020, the hypotheses regarding the origin of life on Earth are little more than inspired guesses. Nick Lane has argued that alkaline oceanic volcanic vents (AKA white smokers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrothermal_vent#Black_smokers_and_white_smokers)) are where life on Earth may have first appeared. Others have suggested freshwater hydrothermal vents, which is close to Darwin’s conception (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis#Darwin's_little_pond). Others have proposed that life may have first evolved on Mars and was transported to Earth by meteorite. I strongly doubt that today’s approach to science will ever conclusively describe how life on Earth began, but it is also not very relevant to this essay, and I will put the issue aside, as I did with the Big Bang and the idea of an expanding universe.
When life first appeared on Earth, the evolutionary process that led to humanity began. The USA's population has more doubt about evolution than any other Western nation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_evolution#Public_support), and that seems to be because Biblical literalism is still strong here. In all other Western nations, there is virtually no controversy over evolution as a fact of existence, and those nations view the controversy over evolution in the USA with befuddlement.
There are two primary characteristics of life, and what can be observed in human civilizations are often only more complex iterations of them, which are:
Life harnessed energy so that it could manipulate matter to create itself;
Life created information so that it could reproduce itself.
One aspect manipulated matter and energy, and the other was the “program” for manipulating it. Matter and energy could be manipulated to either build a living structure or operate it (or disassemble it), and the organism always made the “decision.”
All cellular life on Earth has these characteristics:
A constant supply of carbon, for creating organic molecules;
Energy to drive all necessary chemical reactions, including those that form huge molecules such as proteins and DNA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA);
Catalysts to accelerate and control chemical reactions;
Waste removal, which entropy necessitates, and which allows the reactions to proceed;
A means of isolation, to segregate the cell from the surrounding environment;
Information that can be inherited, such as that coded in RNA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA) and DNA.
For viable cells to form, many problems had to be resolved, such as concentrating the necessary molecules, linkages to form the huge molecules of life, membranes that are selectively permeable, and the interdependency of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Some scientists argue that those problems would have been so difficult to solve that the likelihood that such events were random is nil, which supports arguments for some kind of intelligence behind the process. Andrew Knoll sensibly stated (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical2) that the story that modern science tells of the journey of life on Earth is one of history and process, not intent.
Because I know that the materialistic models of consciousness are false, I have a hard time believing in the randomness and “blind watchmaker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blind_Watchmaker)” explanations for the origin of life and subsequent evolution. While “intelligent design” arguments and evidence can be worth investigation and challenge, the theory of evolution has been misused to support materialism and its variants (such as atheism). I believe that the role that consciousness plays in the journey of life on Earth is far too subtle for most methods of today’s science to productively engage. That scientific exploration largely lies in the future, and will not resemble today’s science very much. Describing the blueprint (DNA) for proteins does not account for how the products of catalyzed reactions are used to build and maintain cells and organisms. It would be like finding the directions for producing nails and finished lumber, and thinking that it explains how a house is built, from the planning to building the foundation to pounding the nails to installing the windows, and then concluding that the house built itself, in some kind of miraculous accident.
Even if today’s version of science can unravel all of that, to conclude that consciousness was not involved with that house’s construction will be nothing more than a belief. But I will largely lay aside the issue of consciousness and evolution in this essay, other than to note that more developed brains allow for more sophisticated levels of thought to manifest. Following Knoll’s lead, this narrative, at least until this essay reaches the human journey, will be far more about process and history than it will intent. I accept evolution to be a fact of existence, although there is plenty of important debate and research on the mechanics of it, and I suspect that life on Earth came into existence in a naturalistic way, so that abiogenesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis) (the idea that life first arose from non-living matter) will be the prevailing hypothesis one day, even though scientists today can only make educated guesses on the subject, but I also believe that consciousness was there from the beginning. One of the oldest philosophical ideas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panpsychism), which scientists still pursue, is that consciousness is an aspect of all matter.
While there is no consensus among scientists regarding how life first appeared (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life#Origin), it is currently thought that all life on Earth today descended from one organism, a creature known today as the Last Universal Common Ancestor (“LUCA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Universal_Common_Ancestor)”). The reasoning is partly that all life has a preference for using certain types of molecules. Many molecules with the same atomic structure can form mirror images of themselves. That mirror-image phenomenon is called chirality (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(chemistry)). In nature, such mirror images occur randomly, but life prefers one mirror image over the other. In all life on Earth, proteins are virtually without exception left-handed, while sugars are right-handed. If there was more than one line of descent, life with different “handedness” would be expected, but it has never been found, which has led scientists to think that LUCA is the only survivor that is ancestral to all life on Earth today. All other lineages died out (the likely answer, I believe, and there was probably hundreds of millions of years of evolution on Earth before LUCA lived). As this essay will explore, this is far from the only instance when such seminal events are suspected to have happened only once. Also, the unique structure of DNA and many enzymes are common to all life, and they did not have to form the way that they did. That they came through different ancestral lines is extremely unlikely.
In 2018, scientists published a paper (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6152910/) on their molecular clock evidence to date the appearance of LUCA between 4.5 bya and 3.5 bya. With recent estimates of the end of the Hadean Eon at 4.4 bya, that gives life at most “only” 400-to-900 million years to come into being and evolve to LUCA. The oldest fossils discovered so far date to perhaps 4.2 bya, and others to about 3.5 bya. The most impressive early fossils are the remains of bacterial colonies, and such colonies exist today, in extreme environments where they cannot be eaten. The evidence for them is dated to about 3.4 bya. If those bacterial colonies existed 3.4 bya, then the first life considerably predated that, as the first life was chemosynthetic, and the did not split water like cyanobacteria do (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenic), which almost certainly performed the initial energy capture for those colonies, called stromatolites (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromatolite). With the nature of the evidence and debate today, dating LUCA’s appearance to around 4.0 bya seems reasonable.
Above all else, life is an energy acquisition process. All life exploits the potential energy in various atomic and molecular arrangements, or captures energy directly, as in photosynthesis. Over the journey of life on Earth, organisms developed two broad strategies for getting their energy: from non-living sources (autotrophy), or from life (heterotrophy).
Autotrophy:
Chemosynthesis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lifeenergy) – Exploiting the potential energy in inorganic molecules;
Photosynthesis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis1) – Capturing the Sun’s photon energy.
Heterotrophy:
Grazing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#grazing) – Heterotrophs feed on autotrophs, which does not necessarily kill the prey;
Predation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#predation1) – One species feeds on another, usually killing the prey;
Parasitism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitism) – One species feeds on another, but does not necessarily kill the prey;
Mutualism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutualism_(biology)) – Both species benefit from the relationship;
Commensalism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commensalism) – One species benefits from the relationship, while the other is unharmed;
Detrivory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detritivore) – One species eats dead life, as well as life byproducts such as excrement.
Those are general categories, with many subcategories and overlaps. For example, the greatest symbiosis of plant and animal ever was the appearance of flowering plants (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers) on the evolutionary scene. Instead of trying to protect themselves from hungry animals, plants devised the strategy of feeding them instead, and fruit is designed to be eaten, as it spreads the seeds and reduces the energetic cost of reproduction for plants. But not all fruit-eating animals help spread viable seeds, such animals are called “fruit predators (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frugivore#Plant_mechanisms_to_delay_or_deter_frugivory),” and there are also seed predators (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_predation). Scientists are not always sure what feeding categories a species belongs to, or whether they belong in multiple categories, such as the oxpecker, as it not only eats parasites on African megafauna, but also makes and enlarges wounds and drinks the blood of their hosts, so it engages in both mutualism and parasitism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxpecker#Diet_and_feeding). Cannibalism can be either predatory or an act of detrivory.
Entropy is another important concept for this essay. Entropy is, in its essence, the tendency of hot things to cool off. The concept is now introduced to students as energy dispersal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_%28energy_dispersal%29). Even though science really does not know what energy is (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energy1), it can measure its effect. At the molecular level, entropy is the tendency of mass to become disordered over time, as the random motion of molecules spreads in collisions with other molecules, until the interacting molecules have the same temperature (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#temperature). Life had to overcome entropy in order to exist, as it brought order out of disorder and maintained it while alive, and it takes energy to do that. The prevailing theory is that net entropy can only increase, and life has to create more entropy in its surroundings so that it can reduce entropy internally and produce and maintain the order that sustains itself. Life is called a negentropic phenomenon, in which it uses energy to reverse entropy to make the order of its organism’s structures, and it is continually using energy to reverse the natural entropy that is called decay.
In all cases, captured electrons are the basis for life. The discoverer of Vitamin C, Albert Szent-Györgyi, won his Nobel Prize for his research into how life generates its energy, particularly through the citric acid cycle (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sunlight1), and famously stated: “Life is nothing but an electron looking for a place to rest.” In his seminal What is Life? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_Life%3F), Schrödinger initially downplayed the role of energy in life, to later write a mea culpa, after his colleagues protested his depiction. That electron necessary for life is stripped from a “donor” molecule. The most important electron donor is hydrogen, because after the electron is donated, a lone proton is left, and that proton is used for other key life processes. In a sense, life is largely about breaking hydrogen atoms apart and reconstituting them when the necessary reactions are finished. Sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are also important electron donors, and the positively charged ions, after the electron has been donated, are also important to key life processes. But they cannot donate protons; only hydrogen can.
Early life was chemosynthetic, as it exploited the potential energy of chemicals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemosynthesis). The chemosynthetic ideal is capturing chemicals fresh to new environments that have yet to react with other chemicals, which supports the hypothesis that has life’s first appearance on Earth in volcanic vents on the ocean floor or in freshwater environments, although the oceanic hypothesis is more popular. The earliest life forms took advantage of fresh chemicals introduced to watery environments. Life had to be opportunistic and quick in order to capture that energy before other molecules did. Exploiting the potential energy in the disequilibrium between energy states is how life works.
The critical feature of earliest life had to be a way to reproduce itself, and DNA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dna) is common to all cellular life today. The DNA that exists today was unlikely to be a feature of the first life, unless intelligent design is invoked or the introduction of life from an extraterrestrial source (but how would that life have originated?). The most popular hypothesis is that RNA is DNA’s ancestor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_world_hypothesis). The mechanism today is that DNA makes RNA, and RNA makes proteins. DNA, RNA, proteins, sugars, and fats are the most important molecules in organisms, and very early on, protein “learned” the most important trick of all, which was an energy innovation: facilitate biological reactions. If we think about activation energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#activation) at the molecular level, it is the energy that crashes molecules into each other, and if they are crashed into each other fast enough and hard enough, the reaction becomes more likely. But that is an incredibly inefficient way to do it. It is like putting a key in a room with a lock in a door and shaking up the room in the hope that the key will insert itself into the lock during one of its collisions with the room’s walls. Proteins make the process far easier, and those proteins are called enzymes.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions and they do it as in the above analogy, but as if a person entered that room, picked up the key, and inserted it into the lock. That took far less effort than shaking up the room a million times. Enzymes are like hands that grab two molecules and bring them into alignment so that the key inserts into the lock. The lock-and-key analogy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme#.22Lock_and_key.22_model) is the standard way to explain enzymes to non-scientists. Enzymes make chemical reactions happen millions and even billions of times faster than they would occur in the enzymes’ absence. Life would never have grown beyond some microscopic curiosities, if life would have survived at all, without the assistance that enzymes provide. Almost all enzymes are proteins, which are generally huge molecules with intricate folds. The animation of human glyoxalase below depicts a standard enzyme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme). (Source: Wikimedia Commons; the zinc ions that make it work are the purple balls)
Enzymes look like Rube Goldberg-ish contraptions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg_machine) when their function is considered: huge molecules are used to make small ones interact. Proteins have a four-level structure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_structure#Levels_of_protein_structure), and the second level is held in place (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_secondary_structure) by hydrogen bonds (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hydrogenbonds). Below is a diagram of the kinds of bonds in the third level. (Source: Wikimedia Commons)
The enzyme’s pair of “hands” is like that of a robot on an assembly line, putting two parts together and passing the assembly to the next stage. An enzyme can catalyze millions of reactions per second. All of today’s life on Earth would cease to exist in the absence of enzymes. Other than the ability to reproduce itself and produce proteins, speeding up reactions by millions of times is life’s most important “trick” and its greatest energy innovation. Adenosine triphosphate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate) ("ATP") is a coenzyme used to fuel all known cellular processes. Poisons and drugs generally disable enzymes by plugging or wrecking the “lock” so that the intended “key” will not fit. Cyanide kills (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide#Toxicity) by disabling a key enzyme that produces ATP, which induces an energy shortage at the cellular level. Enzymes can also tear molecules apart, similar in concept to laying out an animal on a butcher’s table and cleaving it at key junctions to make the selected cut.
One argument by intelligent design advocates is that proteins are incredibly complex, and that if the four levels did not work perfectly, the protein would not work properly. Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Russel_Wallace) theory of evolution was developed before the rise of genetics. When genetics became a science in the early 20th century, the “modern synthesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_synthesis_(20th_century))” was developed to marry genetics to evolutionary theory. When DNA’s structure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA#History) was finally determined in the 1950s, DNA’s mutations updated an old idea about mutations in evolution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation#History), which finally led to specific mechanisms. All that today’s science can say about DNA is that it provides the code to make proteins and RNA, and its structure helps determine when those proteins are made (called regulation of gene expression (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_gene_expression)). A prominent hypothesis today is that RNA initially had the role that proteins do today, and more than three bya, proteins replaced key RNA functions.
When results were announced on the project to map human DNA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENCODE), which unexpectedly stated that nearly all human DNA seemed to have some kind of function (not only making proteins, but regulating gene expression), a blistering attack was published on the findings. One observer thought that the attack’s viciousness was partly due to the ammunition that it would give intelligent design advocates, if all of DNA was functional, without the “junk” that was thought to be in it. Since that event, scientists now look at DNA as far less “junky” than they used to. A new field of science has arisen, called epigenetics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics), which studies inherited traits that are not coded in DNA.
Another vital invention of life is creating the “room” in which those reactions can take place. The “rooms” of the first life forms were created by membranes, which are comprised of proteins and fats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_membrane). As with the first RNA, DNA, and proteins, the first membranes may not have resembled today’s very much. Membranes define life, keeping it separate from other molecules in Earth’s brew.
One tenet of evolutionary theory is that a biological novelty had to provide immediate benefit (or, at least, no harm), or else it would not have survived. A related idea is that the history of life on Earth is filled with instances when a biological feature evolved for one purpose (and that some features were initially purposeless but harmless, and eventually found a use) was used for another purpose, when the opportunity arose, and is called exaptation, and Darwin originated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exaptation#History_and_definitions) the idea. Each mutation of a section of DNA that codes for proteins (called a gene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene)) changes the RNA or protein that is made from it. While it might seem like any change can ruin a protein, researchers have discovered many ways that genes can change and not compromise the function of the protein built from it. The process may be far more flexible and robust than it might initially appear.
Of those key elements necessary for life as we know it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lifeelements), the most diverse is carbon, with that half-filled outer electron shell. Carbon provides the “backbone” for life’s chemistry, and is the foundational element of DNA, RNA, sugars, proteins, fats, and virtually all other components of life. Carbon can form one, two, three, and four bonds with itself (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon%E2%80%93carbon_bond) and so forms the most diverse bonds with itself of all elements, and an entire branch of chemistry is devoted to carbon, called organic chemistry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry). Organic molecules are by far the largest known to science. During my first day of organic chemistry class, the professor observed that because the primary use of hydrocarbons was burning them to fuel the industrial age, we were living in “the age of waste,” as hydrocarbons are a treasure trove of raw materials. In the eyes of an organic chemist, burning fossil hydrocarbons to fuel our industrial world is like making Einstein dig ditches or making Pavarotti wash dishes for a living.
Nitrogen and phosphorus are the most vital elements for life after carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. In its pure state in nature, nitrogen, like hydrogen and oxygen, is a diatomic molecule. Hydrogen in nature is single-bonded to itself, oxygen is double-bonded, and nitrogen is triple-bonded. Because of that triple bond (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bond), nitrogen will not significantly react with other substances unless the temperature (activation energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#activation)) is very high. Most nitrogen compounds in nature are created when the nitrogen and oxygen that comprise more than 99% of Earth’s atmosphere react under lightning’s influence to create nitric oxide, which then reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide, and atmospheric water combines with that to make nitrous and nitric acids, which then fall to Earth’s surface in precipitation. Certain kinds of bacteria “fix” the nitrogen from the acidic rain into biological systems. Also, some bacteria can fix nitrogen directly from atmospheric nitrogen, but it is an energy-intensive operation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogenase) that uses the energy in eight ATP molecules to fix each atom of nitrogen, which uses enzymes to reduce the necessary activation energy. For the earliest life on Earth, nitrogen would have been essential, and some nitrogen is fixed at volcanic vents (http://geology.gsapubs.org/content/32/10/905.abstract), where life may have first appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lifeappears).
The nitrogen cycle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_cycle) is one of life’s most important, in which some bacteria fix nitrogen for biological use and others release nitrogen back to the atmosphere. Nitrogen’s relatively inert nature and preference for being bonded to itself is why it is the dominant atmospheric gas, at 78% of the atmosphere’s volume. It has held that dominant status for billions of years.
Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, has been generally decreasing as an atmospheric gas for billions of years, and has consistently declined for the past 100-150 million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#carbondioxide1). The geochemical process is like nitrogen's in that atmospheric water combines with carbon dioxide to form a weak acid, which then falls to Earth in precipitation. But carbon is in the same elemental family as an abundant crustal element: silicon. Carbon replaces the silicon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate-silicate_cycle) in crustal compounds and turns silicates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate) into carbonates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate) in a process called silicate weathering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering#Hydrolysis_on_silicates_and_carbonates). Most of Earth’s primordial carbon dioxide (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#venus) was probably removed by this process, although the exact mechanisms are in dispute. In all paleoclimate studies, carbon dioxide is a prominent variable, if not the prominent variable, for determining Earth’s surface temperature. But perhaps as early as three bya, life became a significant source of carbon removal from the atmosphere, as life forms died and sank to the ocean floor, were subsequently buried by sedimentation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentation), and tectonic plate movements (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics#Past_plate_motions) further buried them into Earth’s crust and mantle.
More carbon dioxide was removed from the atmosphere by those processes than was reintroduced to the atmosphere by volcanism and other processes. That removal and reintroduction of carbon to Earth’s surface is called the carbon cycle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_cycle). As carbon dioxide continues to be removed from the atmosphere, life will have a harder time surviving, to eventually go extinct, as first plants, then animals decline and go extinct, and it will be back to microbes ruling the Earth until the Sun’s expansion into a red giant destroys Earth. The earthly end of complex life’s reign may be a billion years away, but might come much sooner.
When life first appeared, it was single-celled and simple, and such organisms are called prokaryotes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokaryote) today. Below (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#prokaryote) is a diagram of a typical prokaryotic cell. (Source: Wikimedia Commons)
This chapter’s diagrams only provide a glimpse of the incredible complexity of structure and chemistry that takes place at the microscopic level in organisms, and people can be forgiven for doubting that it is all a miraculous accident. I doubt it, too, as did Einstein (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#einstein), as did the cofounder of evolutionary theory, Wallace (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Russel_Wallace#Application_of_theory_to_humans,_and_role_of_teleology_in_evolution).
The key processes in all life are energetic, as without that, all life quickly comes to a halt. The manipulation of electrons and protons are central to energy generation and use in all life, and in all cellular life, generating energy in and across membranes are the key energetic processes. Hydrogen atoms stripped of their electrons yield the protons necessary for essential life processes, and below is a diagram of the basic dynamic.
Here is a narrative of those vital processes. Electrons stripped from donor molecules are sent down electron transport chains toward a molecule that needs an electron. The electron’s motion down the electron transport chain provides the energy to power proteins embedded in the membranes to push protons outside of the membrane. Membranes are primarily made of fat, which is a great insulator (http://scholarpedia.org/article/Electrical_properties_of_cell_membranes#Conductance). When protons are pushed outside of the membrane like that, two dynamics arise. One is that the protons are more numerous outside of the membrane than inside it, and the process of diffusion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion) will tend to push those protons back across the membrane (they create pressure on the membrane), to equalize their concentrations on both side of the membrane. But far more importantly, as a proton has a net electric charge, pushing the proton outside of the membrane creates an electric potential between both sides of the membrane, so that space inside the membrane has a net negative charge, and the space outside the membrane has a net positive charge. Like a thundercloud and a mountaintop, that charge will equalize if it can, which is how lightning is produced. At the microscopic scale, that electric potential across that membrane has the equivalent electric potential that lightning possesses, which is a thousand times the capacity of household wiring.
Other machinery in the membranes accepts those protons, as they stream back into the space inside the membrane like little lightning bolts, which equalizes both the proton concentration and electric potential across the membrane. In bacteria, those streaming protons drive two pieces of cellular machinery in particular. The most important is when those protons enter a “turbine” in the membrane called ATP Synthase (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATP_synthase), and like a waterwheel, that stream of protons through the “turbine” spins ATP Synthase (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_cp8MsnZFA&t=4s), which takes ADP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_diphosphate) (two phosphates) and makes ATP (three phosphates). That ATP-making turbine spins at hundreds of times a second, and a human body has hundreds of quintillions of them (about 200,000,000,000,000,000,000) churning out ATP molecules, which provides all energy used in all cellular life on Earth. A human body produces more than its own weight in ATP each day. Below is a diagram of that process in a mitochondrion, which is the primary energy production process in eukaryotes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eukaryote) (which have complex cells, such as all plants and animals), and it essentially works the same in prokaryotes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#prokaryote) (which have simple cells, such as bacteria).
In bacteria that can actively move, for instance, there is another proton “turbine” in the membrane, which drives the flagellum that powers their movement, as can be seen in the below diagram.
Briefly, cell membranes are made of lipids (fat), which are great insulators. The same dynamic happens in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Electrons are stripped from “donor” molecules and sent through an electron transport chain. In a mitochondrion, which is the energy center of complex cells, electrons are stripped from food and sent through the electric transport chain toward an oxygen atom, which is the biggest electron hog next to fluorine (which is why aerobic respiration is what nearly all complex life uses). That oxygen “suction” sends electrons racing through the electron transport chain. Ultimately, those free electrons came from stripping them from hydrogen atoms, and once the electron is stripped off, what is left is a proton.
As the electrons race toward the oxygen atoms, the energy of their movement pushes protons across the inner membrane. There are two basic outcomes to pushing the protons across that membrane. The first is that the proton concentration is now greater on the far side of that membrane, so simple diffusion would compel the protons to migrate back to the original side, if there was a hole in the inner membrane for them to return by. The second and most important outcome is that pushing those protons across the membrane creates an electric potential across the membrane, in which the charges will equalize if given the chance. At the scale it happens in cells, that electric potential is the equivalent to that which drives lightning. The inner membrane hosts cellular machinery, such as the electron transport chain, which pushes those protons outside of the inner membrane.
Other cellular machinery allows the protons back in, and those rushing lightning bolts of protons flowing back inside the inner membrane power the “shaft” of a turbine, turning it just like a waterwheel or a crankshaft in a car’s engine. Bacteria have flagella, which are tails that propel them through the water of their environments, like the propeller on a boat. A flagellum is powered by that proton-driven shaft. That same turbine structure also makes ATP in both simple and complex cells.
Prokaryotes do not have organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, and nuclei, but even the simplest cell is a marvel of complexity. If we could shrink ourselves so that we could stand inside an average bacterium, we would be astounded at its complexity, as molecules move here and there, are brought inside the bacterium’s membrane, used to generate energy and build structures, and waste products are ejected from the organism. Cellular division would be an amazing sight.
The most significant branch of evolution’s tree of life may have been the first, when bacteria split into two branches; one branch is called Bacteria and the other is Archaea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_(biology)). Darwin’s notion of slowly accumulating differences through descending organisms gradually leading to new species is confounded at the single-celled level in particular, as microbes swap DNA with abandon. The so-called tree of life at the microbe level better resembles a web. The classifications in the evolutionary tree of life are by no means settled, with constant disputes and changes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_%28biology%29#The_tree_of_life_today), but most scientists still think that it is a tree, which gets webbier toward the roots.

Hi:
With my announced intention to take 2021 off and write (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1396760&viewfull=1#post1396760), it takes a lot of time pressure off of me, and I’ll “reward” myself when finishing drafts like yesterday’s with forum posts on other topics. I am constantly reading, and want to comment on current events a little. Yesterday, I read this (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fight-the-real-deep-state/) from RFK, Jr.’s latest book. I have written before (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk) on how he endorsed JFK and the Unspeakable, and his latest book leaves no doubt on his views on his father’s and uncle’s murders: they were related.
RFK, Jr. wrote perceptively on the right-wing version of the Deep State, which is largely a paranoid fantasy, and I am still bombarded with stuff like Trump the Hero is going the spring the trap on the Deep State any day now, such as here (https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-12-16-situation-update-dec-16th-epic-counterattack-readied-against-cyber-pearl-harbor.html). I am sure that this charade will last until the inauguration, and even after that, those conspiracists will concoct more fantasies about the issue. After the inauguration, I will have something to say about this issue, and I hope that huge swath of conspiracy-mongers is permanently discredited in the aftermath. But people can believe anything, no matter the evidence, but all of that QAnon and similar fantasies should soon go the way of the dinosaurs.
That said, there were certainly limitations in his work, such as the notion that the USA was once some kind of republic without imperial pretensions, as he quoted John Quincy Adams, when Adams was an arch-imperialist (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jehovah), and the USA was born, in George Washington’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#washington) words, as an “infant empire.”
The so-called “Deep State” that RFK, Jr. wrote about is closer to the truth, but does not even touch on the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), and I doubt that David Rockefeller (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) was one.
RFK, Jr. has strong stands on vaccination, and particularly goes after Bill Gates (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/yes-bill-gates-said-that/), for good reason (https://fort-russ.com/2020/04/robert-f-kennedy-jr-exposes-bill-gates-vaccine-dictatorship-plan-cites-gates-twisted-messiah-complex/). But I want to draw attention to Richard Moskowitz’s masterpiece, which I have written on before (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484). Here is a brief YouTube video interview of him (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9S9R4DrZ58), which is essentially a summary of parts of his book, and here is a good summary by him, here (https://www.ageofautism.com/2020/02/the-jig-is-up-1.html). The end of his essay is ominous, in that it was written before the pandemic. The pandemic is a great opportunity for the vaccination racketeers to further embed themselves, sucking the body politic.

Hi:
These section drafts I am putting up will all certainly change by the time I finally publish the essay update, and maybe by a lot. I have been working on the cosmology and early Earth parts lately, and in my recent draft post (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1393836&viewfull=1#post1393836), I referred to a paper (https://science.sciencemag.org/content/350/6262/795.full) that argued that Earth did not get its water from planetesimals, but that it was primordial, from Earth’s initial formation. Similarly, other scientists have argued (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987112000412#!) that Earth’s interior also has a lot of primordial hydrogen and helium in it, and now, other scientists want to mine it (http://www.hydrogencarsnow.com/index.php/hydrogen-fuel/natural-hydrogen-a-new-source-of-energy-seeks-commercial-production-investors/). In the Fifth Epoch, I expect all mining of Earth to be almost immediately outlawed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mining). There won’t be any good reason for it. The sooner the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) arrives, the better.

Hi:
With my decision to take a year off and get my writing done, I have been approaching the essay update a little differently than originally intended, and have devoted all of my time so far to the essay’s earliest chapters. In recent days, I have been studying the newest work on the Shuram excursion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#shuram) (1 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987117302001), 2 (https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-74256-4_2), 3 (https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/bitstream/handle/10919/75019/CuiHuan2017DoushantuoZhonglingMethaneSignalChemicalGeology.pdf)). The Shuram excursion is a key part of the controversy over how several events in the history of life were related, such as:
Whether there was really a Snowball Earth around 600 million years ago, before the rise of complex life.
How related it was to an earlier Snowball Earth, more than two billion years ago, and whether both were related to rising oxygen levels.
Both were related to banded iron formations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bif) (BIF) and the predominant view today is that the oxygenation of the ocean created the BIFs, which is what humanity mines today to get its iron ore.
How related those events of 600 million years ago were to the rise of complex life.
One recent paper (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987117302001) elaborated the idea that Earth’s shifting axis of rotation made the Snowball Earth of 600 million years ago happen, while a chapter in a recent book (https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-74256-4_2) presented the idea that life did it, and the other paper (https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/bitstream/handle/10919/75019/CuiHuan2017DoushantuoZhonglingMethaneSignalChemicalGeology.pdf) also credits life with the event.
Those differing views highlight the controversies over those early events. They won’t be resolved in my lifetime, but they are fascinating subjects to study. Was life merely a beneficiary or a driver of the change? Those two poles are constantly debated, and the oxygen issue on the rise of complex life is more of the same. For me, what the right answer might be is secondary to how scientists go about investigating those issues, and what the evidence and interpretations are. Many events have been established for those early times; the controversy is over their causal relationships.
I strongly suspect that those events of 600 million years ago were keys to the rise of complex life. I think that the latest oxygenation of the oceans likely began then, and it might not have been until forests blanketed the land hundreds of millions of years later that oxygen levels rose to modern levels.

Hi:
I am still getting used to the idea that I will be devoting the next year to study and writing, and I am like a kid in the candy store, regarding all of what I plan to write about in my big essay revision. I just drafted the below in the past few hours, in that planned new chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/137-This-Essay%C2%92s-Key-Ideas-and-Themes?p=1944&viewfull=1#post1944) that covers key ideas and themes in the essay.

Life’s impact on the geosphere
Earthly life is a beneficiary of many life-friendly conditions on Earth and in the cosmos, some of which seem miraculous. The Sun is in its stable middle age and Earth has been a water planet since its early days, in a sweet spot of habitability amongst her fellow planets. Plate tectonics keep elements circulating such as carbon and sulfur, and Earth has hundreds of millions more years of habitability by complex life before a growing Sun (and declining carbon dioxide levels) makes Earth uninhabitable. Celestial, solar, geophysical, and geochemical dynamics have made Earth inhabitable. But also, life itself has impacted conditions on Earth, which is an important area of scientific investigation and replete with controversy. The evidence is strong that billions of years ago, maybe nearly four bya, a photosynthetic bacterium learned to split water to get its donor electrons for its photosynthesis, and a side-effect of that invention was oxygenating Earth’s atmosphere. That oxygenation was responsible for several impacts. First and most importantly, it saved Earth’s ocean from being blasted into space by the Sun, as that oxygen formed the ozone layer, which blocked ultraviolet sunlight from hitting Earth’s surface and damaging life and breaking water apart. Also, hydrogen that had been liberated from water by solar bombardment would react with atmospheric oxygen to recombine with water before it could escape into space. Without oxygenic photosynthesis, Earth would have likely lost its ocean by now, and all life on Earth would have gone with it. Water also lubricates Earth’s tectonic plates, which keeps the carbon and sulfur cycles going.
But oxygenic photosynthesis is just the first of numerous impacts of life on Earth’s chemistry and physics. The increase of photosynthesis that came from splitting water eventually absorbed so much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere that it may well be responsible for Earth’s first ice age, more than two bya. There is no doubt that Earth’s current oxygen levels are completely sustained by oxygenic photosynthesis, and there is little scientific debate that it has always been primarily responsible for Earth’s atmospheric oxygen.
The evidence is strong that life was involved with both the beginning and ending of an ice age that preceded the rise of complex life nearly 600 mya, as it sequestered carbon to create the ice sheets yet also broke up those ice sheets. But there are competing hypotheses, and just what life’s role was in global geophysical and geochemical events has been a source of enduring controversy. The Cambrian Explosion was accompanied by oxygenation of the ocean floor, but there is debate on whether complex life was a beneficiary or a cause of that oxygenation, and it may well have been the case that positive feedbacks by life led to more oxygenation.
Similarly, when life began colonizing land, particularly with the rise of plants, Earth’s landmasses began processes of erosion that were new, and plants and trees changed the courses of rivers and increased erosion with their burrowing roots. That erosion in turn fertilized the ocean with runoff, and feeds most ocean life. About 90% of humanity’s fish catch is near continents, where the key nutrients are. Those first forests may have oxygenated Earth’s atmosphere enough so that land animals could exist. However, those first forests also absorbed so much carbon dioxide that it caused another ice age, which ultimately destroyed those very same forests, and trees developed seed reproduction, to adapt to a dryer, cooler world. Land vertebrates followed suit and developed eggs that did not need to be laid in water.
There have been many interactions between life processes and geophysical and geochemical ones, and the Gaia hypothesis was developed to describe how Earth has numerous feedback effects that make and keep Earth inhabitable. But there are also feedback effects that have created conditions deleterious to life, particularly when oceans have been oxygen-starved (“anoxic”) and microbes that dominated the pre-oxygenated Earth proliferate and release hydrogen sulfide, which is poisonous to complex life. The Medea hypothesis was recently posited to complement the Gaia hypothesis, as life can also create conditions unfriendly to life.
In the eon of complex life, not only have trees profoundly impacted global processes, but animals have also had their impact. Today, elephants are recognized as terraforming agents of the African savannah, as their activities tear up trees and the like, but create environments conducive to other life. That terraforming influence likely goes back to the earliest terrestrial megafauna, more than 300 mya, and dinosaurs likely had an outsized influence in that regard.
In summary, life has had, and will continue to have, influences on Earth’s geophysical and geochemical processes, and Earth’s most dominant animal, humanity, is having unprecedented impact on Earth’s geochemical and geophysical processes, as well as direct impact on most of Earth’s ecosystems, which is the next topic.
Humanity’s impact on the geosphere
Primates co-evolved with flowering plants in tropical canopies, and the favorite food of all nearly all primates is fruit. About 40-to-45 mya, simians first appeared on the evolutionary scene, as Earth cooled off from a 200-million-year warm period. By 30 mya ago or so, some marginal monkeys began leaving the shrinking tropical canopies in a cooling and drying world, and became ground-dwelling apes. The final leg of the long journey to humanity began with that descent from the trees, and by two mya, humanity’s direct ancestor, Homo erectus, appeared on the evolutionary scene in East Africa. Homo erectus possessed sophisticated stone tool technology, may have controlled fire by then, and became such a proficient hunter that local prey animals went extinct just as Homo erectus appeared, in what may be the first significant impact of the human line on Earth’s ecosystems.
For the next two million years, human species proliferated across Africa and Eurasia, and local extinctions of prey animals likely happened wherever humans made their homes, so early humans were always on the move, seeking prey animals. The hunter-gatherer lifestyle is humanity’s most ancient and longest-lived mode of subsistence. About 60 kya, Homo sapiens was largely confined to Africa, probably due to the fact that Neanderthals dominated the lands of Europe and west Asia, and Denisovans dominated southern Asia. But Homo sapiens made its first permanent migration beyond Africa about 60 kya, and conquered Earth over the next 50,000 years. Scientists estimate that behaviorally modern humans killed off one billion prey animals during that conquest, which fueled that conquest. Not surprisingly, all of Earth’s large, easily killed animals went extinct during that conquest (at least, that humans could reach; island extinctions have happened in recent history, likely replaying that old dynamic), and some scientists call that event the beginning of the Sixth Mass Extinction. For example, before the rise of humanity, an original denizen of Africa, the elephant family, was the most successful land mammal ever. From the equator to the tundra, the elephant family thrived in all environments conducive to it, and, as already mentioned, they always greatly impacted the ecosystems they encountered. Elephant family members living in the tundra of the mammoth steppe were safe from Homo sapiens, until humans developed the technology to live in such harsh environments, and then the mammoths of Eurasia quickly went extinct. Late in Earth’s conquest, humans invaded the Americas, which the elephant family dominated, for the entire length and breadth of the Americas. Not only did all American members of the elephant family go extinct soon after the arrival of humans, but so did all other easy meat. Camels and horses evolved in North America, but quickly went extinct there after humans arrived, and those families were saved by their pre-holocaust migrations from North America (llamas are the only aboriginal survivors from those families in the Americas). There is evidence that humans began mass-burning the landscapes, to reproduce the hunter-gatherer-friendly conditions of the African savannah, from the earliest days of their global conquest.
Not only did all of Earth’s easy meat go extinct with the rise of humans (which also drove nearly all competing predators to extinction), but so did all of the sister species of Homo sapiens, including Neanderthals, Denisovans, and “hobbits.” Other casualties may include Homo erectus and probably some other human species that scientists have yet to discover. It was likely a violent affair. That holocaust was just the beginning of humanity’s heavy footprint on Earth.
After the easy meat had been rendered extinct, the current ice age had one of its brief cycles that happen every 100,000 years or so during the past million years, as the ice sheets melted and Earth began a “summer” that lasts to this day. A tool-mastering humanity has obviously been the most adaptable creature in Earth’s history, able to survive in all environments, even in space, and in the absence of easily hunted meat, humans began domesticating plants and animals, aided by this long summer. That increased Earth’s carrying capacity for humans by orders of magnitude, and agricultural peoples quickly absorbed and drove to extinction hunter-gatherer peoples, through their sheer numbers if nothing else, and the “range wars” that likely typified Neanderthal-Homo sapiens interactions for thousands of years, until Neanderthals were extinct, was reproduced with agriculturalists as they wiped out hunter-gathers. Since men will mate with almost anything that moves, there was interbreeding while the target populations were driven to extinction. That has been a constant during the human journey.
Following close behind the development of crops was the rise of civilization, when the conditions were right for it, and a new mode of dominance arose. Civilizations were devastating to the surrounding environments, particularly the forests, and urban peoples conquered and dominated rural peoples, in a familiar dynamic. Since the first city appeared about seven kya, civilizations have risen and fallen, often by wiping themselves out environmentally, and empires soon followed cities, as polities subjugated each other. That dynamic lasts to this day, as the USA is history’s most dominant empire, while it pretends that it is not one.
About three centuries ago, a new human Epoch began, as humanity once again tapped a formerly unavailable energy resource. First coal, and then oil and gas, were exploited, and humanity’s industrial Epoch began. The human journey has always been characterized by exploiting a new energy source and depleting it, which often destroyed the society that depleted it, but each new energy source provided an increased energy surplus, which was used to raise human standards of living, and each Epoch was generally more humane than the preceding one. But along with that rising standard of living, which has been dramatic in the industrial epoch, the very fuel for this Epoch is leading to its demise. The first issue is that humanity is mining and burning fossil fuels a million times as fast as they were created, and we are running out fast. The USA reached peak production of conventional oil (the easy oil that can be extracted by methods developed in the 1800s) in 1970, and it peaked globally in about 2006. Today, humanity is increasingly mining the dregs of Earth’s hydrocarbon deposits, which are of poor energetic quality, compared to the easy oil of a century ago.
Almost as a side-effect, industrial humanity has ruthlessly plundered agrarian humanity, Earth’s forests, soils, and oceans have been raped as never before, and war technologies have come to the point where wars between industrial nations might render earth uninhabitable. So, the industrial nations, led by the USA, have only waged war against the largely defenseless victims of predominantly agrarian nations, in order to exploit those peoples and their natural resources. They do it because they can.
But probably more significantly to Earth’s ecosystems, mining and burning those hydrocarbons has dramatically raised the carbon dioxide content of Earth’s atmosphere, by a third in my lifetime, and by half in the past two centuries, which is the most dramatic rise in Earth’s history. No scientist who is not a Hydrocarbon Lobby shill will deny that increasing the atmosphere’s carbon dioxide content will warm Earth’s atmosphere (and is acidifying the oceans and driving shellfish and key members of marine ecosystems to extinction). Global Warming is here, and it may become humanity’s greatest impact, as we turn Earth from icehouse to hothouse conditions in a few centuries. The last time that Earth went from icehouse to hothouse conditions, the greatest mass extinction in the eon of complex life happened. So far, humanity’s impact on Earth’s ecosystems is the most dramatic in the history of complex life, other than the bolide that drove dinosaurs to extinction and led to the rise of mammals. Who wants to see how this one turns out?

Hi:
I just saw this paean to Carl Sagan (https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/01/03/baloney-detection-kit-carl-sagan/), and have to comment a little. His Demon-Haunted World was a disgusting read. Sagan was the high-priest of materialism and scientism in his day, and the leading “skeptic,” but his dishonesty and intellectual bullying were legendary. I heard from a high-profile author not long ago, on Sagan, from those who knew him, and he was a bullying know-it-all. Brian made a similar observation on Sagan’s personality in his The Second Coming of Science (he described Sagan’s “macho charm and charisma” – the kind that he rarely encountered).
I wrote about Sagan a little, here (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan). The so-called “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” are really religious zealots for the scientific establishment. They are skeptical of everything but their assumptions. Real skepticism is about questioning our assumptions, and where the big breakthroughs in science came from. So, it is ironic for the “skeptics” to act just the opposite of how the great scientists did, and Sagan was not one of them.
If Sagan has come out of his catatonic stupor, as he tries to convince himself that he does not exist, then he and Brian have probably made up by now.
The “skeptics” might just be the stupidest (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/91-Scientific-literacy/page3?p=556&viewfull=1#post556) and most dishonest (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#dishonest) lot that I have encountered, and it can be a tossup as to which one is really happening, such as Mr. Skeptic’s repeated libels (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel) of Dennis. It is possible that Mr. Skeptic just turned his brain off when encountering Dennis, like McLuhan eventually concluded (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2421&viewfull=1#post2421) about the “skeptics,” but, if so, how ironic, when they claim that their debunking exercises are the result of keen reasoning and fidelity to the evidence. Most “skepticism” is worthless, a defense of their faith, at best, and nothing that remotely approaches the scientific ideal. And they just don’t see it, either by refusing to or being incapable of it.
Back to work.

Hi:
This (https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/23/trump-qanon-effort-overturn-election-450301) is about as high-profile as the QAnon nonsense (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/09/qanon-women-why.html) has gotten in the USA. I consider it to all be fantasy, and next month, after the inauguration, I am going to do what I can to permanently discredit all such conspiracism and those who concoct or promote that rubbish. I have had to step carefully to avoid being associated with that barrage of disinformation. Retail politics is meaningless to begin with (as Brian eventually admitted, and he would have known (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall)), and anybody looking to elected officials to initiate radical changes is delusional. Politicians are not heroes, although they often pretend that they are. Trump rode to the White House because the dominant Democrats (led by Hillary the psychopath (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmIRYvJQeHM)) no longer even pretended to care about the USA’s working class.
Many people are making it up as they go in that milieu, it serves to further discredit the fringes, and I suspect that at least some of that is by design. The Hall of Shame or the Hall of the Hopelessly Gullible includes:
Steele (https://phibetaiota.net/2020/12/emerging-trump-triumphant-deep-state-down/);
Adams (https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-12-23-situation-update-dec-23rd-trump-chooses-declassification-option.html);
Wilcock (https://goldenageofgaia.com/2020/03/30/david-wilcock-mass-arrests-to-happen-in-early-april/),
Fulford (https://benjaminfulford.net/2020/10/05/red-october-begins-with-worldwide-attack-on-deep-underground-military-bases/);
Goode (https://exopolitics.org/interview-with-corey-goode-on-ufo-disclosure-war-qanon-military-arrests-dark-fleets/);
Salla (https://exopolitics.org/the-qanon-deep-state-temporal-war-its-galactic-implications/);
and many others (I don’t trust Webre’s reporting at all, for instance). RFK, Jr., wrote perceptively (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page3?p=2604&viewfull=1#post2604) on the difference between the real Deep State and the “populist,” paranoid fantasy version. This recent storm of QAnon and Deep State conspiracism is the same kind that swirls around the JFK hit (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), 9/11 (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11), the Moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), UFOs (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big), and the like. There is far more than meets the eye happening, and Brian’s life-shortening encounters (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847) with the military, Gary’s conversation with John Tower (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower), my adventures with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), my friend’s underground technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and many other strange events, such as what happens at James’s Ranch (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm) or Doug Caddy’s amazing testimony (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big) and the grim realities of the rackets (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets), have all helped shape my worldview.
What Steele is doing and what Ralph did (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm) are as different as night and day. The GCs are real (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), but those people listed above have zero credibility with me, and even Greer has been tainted by publicly appearing with Wilcock (and pursuing his mini-“alien” and other dead-ends, such as his free energy follies). Wilcock has been peddling the White Hat nonsense for many years. The so-called White and Black Hats are real (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623), but Wilcock has no special insight into them, IMO, and if he is not making it up himself, he is being fed disinformation. I have been hearing about that day of reckoning, when the ETs appear, trillions of dollars are handed out to the masses, the GCs are taken out, and we all go to Oz together, since 1996 or so. I have probably heard tales like that at least 50 times by now, and they all were breathlessly announced as happening “any day now.”
There seems to be a regular cycle of that disinformation, on a kind of rinse-and-repeat strategy, to continually suck in gullible newbies, keep the conspiracist coffers filled, and give the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” a field day, making their jobs easy. What all of that recent QAnon and Deep State garbage does is turn people into spectators, waiting for Santa to come down the chimney, instead of raising their awareness and doing something productive. There is almost no discernment evident among those aficionados, and it is all a lazy path to nowhere. You get out of life what you put in.
After the inauguration, and no trap has been sprung on the Deep State, etc., the only way those listed above can regain any credibility is to utter impressive mea culpas, describe in detail how they were led down the path, resolve to don their critical-thinking hats and stop being so gullible, provide their disinformation sources, etc., but I am not holding my breath.
There are highly legitimate fringe issues to pursue, and some have Epochal significance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), but the conspiracist fringes are full of disinformation, spun by various parties with various agendas, and it is lapped up by the tabloid crowd, who can never seem to get enough of it. I consider the QAnon phenomenon to be an adult version of believing in Santa Claus, it has kind of come to a crescendo this year, and may 2021 see such conspiracists join the ranks of Flat Earth theorists and the like. There is real and important work to do, but that tabloid conspiracism is very counterproductive and I have been bombarded with it this year. Enough said for now.

Hi:
To my prior post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611), I don’t really want to pick on the conspiracists too much. What those that I named are likely going to do is quietly fold their tents and begin talking and writing on the next conspiracist fantasy, without missing a beat, or make weak excuses for their behaviors. But the mainstream media does that too (Iraq’s, then Iran’s so-called WMD (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#wmd), or the Bulgarian connection on the assassination attempt on the pope (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#bulgarian), or the fantasy of the Hutu genocide against the Tutsis (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda)), so no need to get on the conspiracist case all that much.
The media’s crimes are far more egregious, enabling genocides and other high crimes, while the conspiracists largely just entertain the tabloid crowd, although conspiracists with guns are scary.

Hi:
This (https://aeon.co/essays/you-don-t-have-to-be-stupid-to-work-here-but-it-helps) is several years old, but I just read it, and it sums up so much of corporate culture and other organizations. Stupidity is career-enhancing! :)
That organizational dumbing-down may lead to short-term success and nice careers, but it is ultimately fatal to any organization. It is also a key aspect of where we stand as a species today, with our toes over the edge of the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). In all directions, the greatest lesson of my journey and Brian’s query are the two signposts that I continually encounter:
Personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), and
Is humanity really a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1)?
I see this over and over, in all areas. My posts this morning on the field day that the QAnon and Deep State conspiracists are having (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611), but the media is worse (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2612&viewfull=1#post2612), are just two examples of many. The media lied about Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072) since the day I met him, but even in the free energy field, scoundrels tell Big Lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), and everybody parrots them or thinks they can parse out the good stuff from the criminal stuff.
I don’t think that we can stumble out of this one. We have to raise our games far higher than I have seen in the world so far, if we are going to turn the corner (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

Hi:
I have written on my Rip Van Winkle moment (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page18?p=1855&viewfull=1#post1855) with the transsexual craze in Seattle, and how far overboard identity politics has gone in the USA. I regard it all as a form of insanity. That white woman who paraded around as a black woman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal) is tame compared to people who mutilate their bodies and render themselves sterile, take hormones, and the like to mimic the other gender.
In a post last summer, I wrote about (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2431&viewfull=1#post2431) a person becoming a “trans-dog,” and asked if that hypothetical person would really be a dog, like how a “trans-man” is supposedly really a man. Well, you can knock me over with a feather, as I recently was made aware of somebody in my circle, a teenager who has been in sexual “transition” for a few years now. That teenager is now an adult and no longer wants to transition into the other gender, but is literally transitioning to a dog! The teenager currently wears a tail, and demands to be referred to as a dog. What does it take for society to begin admitting that all of this identity stuff is a mental health issue, not about freedom of choice? I suppose that the day that that teenager gets a surgically implanted tail is only a few years off.
In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), this postmodern insanity will end. There are so many insanities in our world today, but this identity stuff is one of the most bizarre and is increasingly in my face. In the Fifth Epoch, almost nothing about today’s world will survive, and I expect that all rigid gender roles will end (and races will disappear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations)). I suspect that the nuclear family may become a quaint institution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nuclear), but that the closest human relationships will always be between a mother and her children. I see this as just another sign of the insanity of our times. It is all supremely egocentric, and in the Fifth Epoch, our society will be soul-centric. People will be comfortable in their own skins, and will not feel the need to pretend to be something else.
Best,
Wade

Mentioned it before, but one personal disappointment for me recently was seeing people who I thought had a bit more sense, and were even potential candidates for gaining comprehensive awareness, get caught up in the identity politics craze. It got especially bad this year, with ingroup vs. outgroup rhetoric on full display and people basically calling for conservatives and alternative thinkers to have their feet held to the fire.
While the shift in energy technology needs to happen first for anything else to be possible, I believe that the shift in our relationship with the universe, and how we perceive ourselves is needed to cure much of this insanity. Regards the trans/queer craze, while there are many factors contributing to it, I would say that part is due to a crisis of identity brought on by the fact that even right now in the 4th Epoch, elements of human sexual dimorphism that evolved in earlier eras simply isn't as applicable. Since our society has a materialist conception of the universe and the self at present, where your physical body is all that you are, said identity crises fixates of visual aspects of the body like gender/race.
There could be a period where said crisis accelerates as competition over scarce resources further subsides, while the cure could be the shifting conception of the self and the universe. Another aspect I've been mulling over recently is John Calhoun's mouse utopia experiments from the 60s. Modern cities with their overcrowding are probably unhealthy regardless of how cheap and available resources are. Overcrowding drives people crazy. Removing the need for cities as energy hogs would allow everyone to spread out further into nature.

Thanks Chris (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1399262&viewfull=1#post1399262)!
That is a big subject, and I agree that the materialism of our Epoch is partly responsible. The rise of tool-use, which really took off about 2.5 million years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oldowan), helped us grow big brains, and there was less need for brawn. So, big, strong men, especially in the industrial Epoch, increasingly have no use. The “blank slate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula_rasa)” fantasy has also contributed to the crazed identity politics that we see today (put on a tail and become a dog (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1399238&viewfull=1#post1399238)! :) ).
I think that a big part of all of this confusion is also because the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) is only three centuries old, most of humanity still lives in the Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3), so there is still cultural “momentum” happening, such as all of those Bible-banging and gun-loving rural Americans, who still have one foot in the Third Epoch. I saw how my grandparents never shook their agrarian roots (even though my grandfather did not have much nice to say about them (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#moved)) as they lived their last years near downtown Seattle. Dennis will never entirely shake his migrant farmworker childhood (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574). Overcoming the racism and bigotry that I was raised with is a constant act of vigilance.
Yes, in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), all of these insanities and evil practices will end (and nobody will miss them), and yes, until free energy makes its appearance and we have a Fifth Epoch, these Third-and-Fourth-Epoch practices will continue. And yes, people will not live in cities as we know them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities) in the Fifth Epoch. They are very unhealthy places to live.
My general reaction to all of this is that becoming a truly sentient species is not easy. :)
I could write long posts on this issue, but need to get back to work. Thanks again for that post.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I am in creative throes on the essay revision, thinking about organization and themes. I have been doing this for the past several days, it is fun work for me, and I have made progress. A lot of this early work is on the scientific process. I have written how the Hawaiian Islands provide an excellent example (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hawaii1) for testing radiometric dating. Today, we can measure how fast tectonic plates are moving and in what directions, and that speed, combined with samples of the seamounts trailing behind the Hawaiian Islands, shows that that trail across the ocean floor is more than 80 million years old, and the Young Earth advocates have to invoke fanciful dynamics to keep their ideas alive. But, if people can truly believe in a flat Earth today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth), what can’t they believe in?
With the rise of DNA testing, scientists have used assumed mutation rates and the constructed tree of life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treeoflife) to estimate evolutionary convergence, and compared it to fossil ages, both through stratigraphy and radiometric dating, and they agree until about the Cambrian Explosion, when they no longer agree (and not all clocks tick the same – some pieces of DNA change, and others don’t, such as Hox genes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hox_gene#Conservation)). DNA testing is a young science, and I was made aware this morning of DNA analysis of Caribbean natives before Columbus (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/12/201223125751.htm), which makes the case that the total natives of Española and Puerto Rico, combined, may have been only 10,000 people and as high as 50,000 in 1492. I have written about the fierce controversies on the Western Hemisphere’s Pre-Columbian population (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#counters), and this new study will add more fuel to the fire. But call me highly skeptical of those new estimates. There are several lines of evidence that call it into question.
As an aside, I found it strange that in the media accounts of the study, much was made of two migrations to the islands, and the farmers displaced the hunter-gatherers. That has been known for a long time, and it is no surprise that hunter-gatherer DNA was driven from the gene pool. That was standard, wherever farmers met hunter-gatherers. Hunter-gatherer women ended up in the horticultural societies while the hunter-gatherer men were driven to extinction.
That aside, they all agree that the farmers lived in the Caribbean for at least 2,000 years before Columbus arrived. A good comparison is Hawaii, with a similar horticultural culture. At most, Hawaii was settled about 1,500 years before the European invasion, and maybe only 500 years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Hawaii). Hawaii is estimated to have had a population of 300,000 when Captain Cook’s expedition “discovered” them. The Hawaiian Islands have 6,400 square miles of land, for a pre-“discovery” population density of nearly 50 people per square mile. Using the same density on Española and Puerto Rico, which have 33,000 square miles between them, we get 1.5 million people. At the 10,000 estimate of the population, that works out to one person for every three square miles, which is on the low-end of hunter-gatherer societies. That 10K number means that those islands were deserted, not the home of horticultural societies. Hawaii’s population was about 150 times denser, according to that new estimate, when both had very similar horticultural economies, of comparable richness, and the Taino were farming the Caribbean longer than the Hawaiians were.
Putting aside the comparisons of similar islands, I got Carl Sauer’s masterpiece, The Early Spanish Main (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/809308.The_Early_Spanish_Main), and reread the Spanish accounts and censuses, as well as David Stannard’s American Holocaust. The natives began dying in droves, of some disease that the Spanish brought, as soon as the boats unloaded during the invasion of 1493 (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#second). While the Spaniards were welcomed wherever they went if the natives did not flee, on the first voyage, the natives were well-acquainted with Spanish savagery by the time of the 1493 invasion, and all natives fled before them. They began fighting back, but were no match for the Spaniards. The rampaging Spaniards slaughtered up to 50,000 by one estimate, while Columbus was sick in 1494-1495. When he recovered, he led a pacification campaign against the resisting natives, which was more slaughter. It was not exactly a heroic feat, of heavily armed and armored Spaniards, with their man-eating dogs (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#dogs), against the naked natives, and none of the Spanish accounts portrayed it as heroic.
People can dispute those estimates, but this one is harder to deny: in 1495, Columbus gathered 1,600 prisoners and put 550 on ships to send to Spain as slaves. 200 died on the journey, and half of the survivors were dying when the ships reached Spain. That shipment was from the backwater base of Isabela, not the coming metropolis at Santo Domingo. It was only when the Taino were understood to be unprofitable slaves that Isabel spoke out against enslaving them, which was an impotent imperial decree, anyway, as usual. Of the remaining thousand, the Spaniards took about 700 more as local slaves, leaving about 400 women with their infants, who were free to leave, as nobody wanted them. Those women abandoned their babies as they fled as far as they could across the island. Imagine what would make a mother do that. Mass starvation and suicides soon followed. An estimated 10,000 Taino died handless in Columbus’s “tribute” system, in which the natives either delivered gold or had their hands chopped off.
The villages on Espanola, Cuba, and the Bahamas (and likely the other large Caribbean islands such as on Jamaica and Puerto Rico, where the farmers lived) had about 1,000 to 2,000 inhabitants, each was ruled by a cacique, which was a hereditary role, and well-to-do caciques could have up to 30 wives. The Taino culture, which dominated the Greater Antilles, was peaceful, but it had pushed out the hunter-gatherers, and another marginal Taino group lived on the end of Espanola and in Cuba. There were several competing cultures (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanahatabey) in the Caribbean’s complex political-economy.
Las Casas wrote that about three million Tainos died between 1492 and 1508, from the brutal Spanish rule. That is considered a high-counter number today, and it partly relies on Columbus’s census of 1496, of 1.1 million potential tributaries, after Española had been “pacified.” What is not in doubt was the rapacious Spanish rule, and the gold strike of 1499 saw the natives quickly worked to death in the mines (they lasted less than a year in the mines, as the Spanish treated them as “expendable”). In 1503, Columbus’s successor went to remote Xaraguá (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaragua,_Hispaniola) to “improve relations,” and the chiefdom’s caciques attended, 84 caciques in all, which at the low end of the estimate of village populations represented about 80,000 natives. The Spanish, in what would become a typical Spanish tactic in the coming decades of unbridled gold lust, slaughtered them all in a surprise attack on their hosts (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#xara).
In 1504, Columbus visited Española one last time, and remarked on the swift decline of the natives under Spanish rule. That same year, the Spaniards set up a dozen towns across the island, to secure native labor. The Spanish began bringing in African slaves in 1505, as the natives ran low.
In 1509, there were an estimated 60,000 natives on Española, and in 1510, Columbus’s son Diego estimated 40,000. In 1509, the Spanish began raiding the Bahamas for slaves, used many as pearl divers, and by about 1513, the Bahamas were completely depopulated and would be barren of humans for more than a century, before the English began colonizing it. The current estimates are that there were about 30,000 original Bahamians. A chronicler of the day said that a ship could navigate to the Bahamas from Española by simply following the trail of native bodies thrown overboard as they died on the way to Españolan slavery. The Bay Islands of Nicaragua were similarly depopulated by Spanish slavers (http://aboututila.com/UtilaInfo/William-Strong/AI-History.htm) soon afterward.
In 1511, the priest Montesinos (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#montesinos) was nearly killed by enraged Spaniards over his Christmas sermon, which took the Spanish to task for turning a native paradise into a desert. That sermon eventually awoke Las Casas’s conscience a few years later, as he prepared for his Easter sermon.
A census of able native Españolan slaves in 1514 counted 22,726 (excluding the elderly and children, but there were not many of those). That was no rough estimate, but a detailed count, household by household. According to that new DNA study, that 1514 count was likely more than the 1492 population of Espanola. Is something wrong with that picture? In 1518, 11,000 were counted, which was the year of the first smallpox epidemic, which took out about half of the remaining Tainos.
So, that DNA-based estimate, by a grad student (http://hringbauer.com/), who developed his technique of computerized DNA analysis, has a big hill of credibility to climb. I’ll follow the certainly coming controversy on his novel approach with interest. Let’s just say that I have my doubts about them. I crunched numbers for a living, so I know full well what their limitations can be.

Hi:
I am going to put the new DNA study (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/34-History?p=2616&viewfull=1#post2616) aside for now, and resume work on my essay revision. If that DNA study has much validity, it is going to upend a lot of anthropology. Española had the chiefdom level of political economy, with five chiefdoms on it. Chiefdoms in the vicinity had more than 100,000 members in them (https://www2.palomar.edu/anthro/political/pol_3.htm#:~:text=The%20larger%20populations%20of%20chiefdoms%20generally%20means%20that,as%20an%20a rbitrator%20and%20judge%20in%20these%20cases.). The Taino had seagoing canoes that could hold over 100 people. They had ceremonial sports (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta%C3%ADno#Culture) and a rich horticultural food base, in about the closest thing to earthly paradise that ever existed. There are many factors that argue for hundreds of thousands of people on Española when Columbus “discovered” them. In order for the DNA study to have much validity, all of the Spanish chroniclers, census-takers, and bureaucrats have to be dismissed as unreliable. After more than two decades of outright genocide, a house-by-house census counted more than 20,000 native slaves on Española, and the neo-Taino people argue that many natives would not have been tallied in those censuses. That there were less than 10,000 natives of Española in 1492 stretches credulity past the breaking point, and I’ll await the challenges that are sure to come.

Hi:
Last New Year’s Eve (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=2010&viewfull=1#post2010), I took stock of the previous decade and looked ahead to an ominous future. It did not take long for things to begin going haywire, as the USA assassinated a high-ranking Iranian official (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page20?p=2013&viewfull=1#post2013). But, the year was just getting warmed up. Soon after the New Year, we began hearing about the outbreak in China. I was sent home in mid-March, and never returned to work in my office. The streets of the USA looked like something out of an apocalyptic movie. On a positive note, mass shootings declined, because there were few large gatherings to shoot up. But our militarized police kept on killing people, blacks most famously, and that was one bizarre spring to live through, with CHAZ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_Autonomous_Zone) in Seattle and daily battles with the cops in Portland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests_in_Portland,_Oregon). My town was under curfew, nearby Bellevue was the scene of violent protests and looting, and criminal activity in the area seems to have increased.
In September, my town again looked like something out an apocalyptic movie, as we had the worst air quality on Earth, and sky-filling fires have become the norm in recent years. With Global Warming, I guess I need to get used to it, and we just had the biggest hurricane season ever.
In the USA, the Trump presidency was a surprising casualty of 2020’s mayhem, while millions of Americans lost their jobs, including me. I am taking this “opportunity” to spend the next year writing, a book is likely following the essay update, and I plan to have a YouTube channel, among other ways to increase the visibility of my work, to attract those needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). The sense of urgency that I have has obviously increased. My career might be over, as far as doing accounting work goes. If I am lucky, my writing career will be like Ed’s. His 60s were his life’s most productive years as a writer, and he kept going until the end at 92 (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#death). I plan to make a sizable dent before I hang it up, and we’ll see how that goes.
I hope that 2021 is a better year for everybody.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Happy New Year to all, and may 2021 be a better year than 2020 was.
2021 is going to be a big writing year for me, as well as other efforts to make my work better and raise its visibility. My nephew was interested in watching Manufacturing Consent (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuwmWnphqII), and we recently watched my copy of it. That was the movie that drove me from my sleep to write a 17-page letter to Noam, and I soon received his surprising reply (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis/page2?p=2475&viewfull=1#post2475). In that movie, Noam was asked the typical question about if he was so critical of the USA, why did he live here? His reply was multifold, and he led with the fact that the USA is his home. He also said that the USA was where he could make the most impact, and that in many ways, the USA is the world’s freest nation. Noam and Ed both felt a duty to criticize the American state (http://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#stance).
I understand, and my reply would be similar, but Americans have not been my target audience since about 2004. I am limited by writing in English (although a pal translated several essays into Spanish (http://ahealedplanet.net/homesp.htm)), and like it or not, most of my readers are Americans. I just looked at my site’s traffic in December, and 80% was from the USA, 10% from Canada, and China was in third place at about 4%. But I really don’t try to attract Americans to my work, and essays like my American Empire essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) (or this section (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress) of my introductory essay) drives Americans away, and that suits me just fine. Work like mine will not awaken the sleeping; only experience can do that. This morning, I read an article (https://www.foodandwine.com/fwpro/customer-is-not-always-right) on what spoiled brats American restaurant patrons are, and how the problem became much worse in 2020.
American egocentrism is a big problem, so I am kind of in a bind, in that I am culturally closest to Americans, and they would get more from my site than people in other nations would, but they are also about the last people on Earth who will understand. It is a strange irony for me, but I have to live with it.
Attached are pics from Monday, when I took my nephew on a ten-miler to watch parasailers fly, here (https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/poo-poo-point). That was one of the few sunny days in the past month. I plan to do a likely soggy hike this morning, but only a few miles.

Hi:
Starting next week, I am going to be bearing down on the essay update. I have been plunking along each day, but I have had numerous year-end distractions, and they should go away next week. I plan for 2021 to be a big year, as far as my work goes, with the essay update, a YouTube channel, and we’ll see if I get a book published this year.
I am continually bombarded with the Trump the Hero meme, and now, January 6th is the next magical day when Trump vanquishes the forces of darkness! :) How many times have we heard this since the election (and since the 2016 election)? Several magic dates have come and gone since election day, and about all that has happened is that Trump has tweeted (https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump), pouted (1 (https://www.lancastercourier.com/2020/12/12/trump-pouts-like-a-petulant-child-after-getting-rejected-by-the-supreme-court/), 2 (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/11/18/1996707/-Biden-meets-with-former-national-security-officials-as-Trump-continues-to-stall-transition)), golfed (https://www.trumpgolfcount.com/displayoutings), etc. His election challenges have been an embarrassing spectacle, and a member of his legal team recently called for Mike Pence’s execution (https://www.businessinsider.com/pro-trump-lawyer-l-lin-wood-tweets-that-pence-executed-2021-1).
I recently listed (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611) that rogues’ gallery of people making breathless announcements from the “inside,” and I could add Simon Parkes (https://www.simonparkes.org/) to that list. Either they are making it up themselves, or are gullibly parroting the disinformation they are being fed, in some kind of conspiracist echo chamber. What I am doing is virtually the opposite, and the people that I seek will easily understand that. Nearly everything that I assert is easily validated, while almost nothing by that crew can be, and they have collectively cried wolf hundreds of times between them over the years. A lot of it is not only about events that did not happen, but many events that they said happened do not appear to have happened. The NESARA fantasy is a precursor to QAnon and other wild yarns with no evidence to support them, but the tabloid crowd laps it up.
When the inauguration comes and goes, if Trump even attends it, somehow, the conspiracist faithful and that rogues’ gallery will likely not miss a beat and keep on with the fantasies. Maybe Trump will lead a million Trump-ite march on Washington to take back the White House sometime this year. Of course, that will be the rumor, but like all the rest of the predicted triumphant moments, it will come to nothing, but not because the heroic Trump did not try. Of course, the reins of power are nowhere near Washington, D.C., as retail politics is all for show, and meaningless in the big picture of what is happening on Earth today.
2020 was definitely nuttier than the year after 9/11 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc), and I hope that we won’t start invading more nations again and inflicting genocides, of course, with oil as an afterthought (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate) (Operation Iraqi Liberation is an immortal Freudian slip (https://theuijunkie.com/operation-iraqi-liberation/)). :)
There are vastly more important issues on Earth, which have nothing to do with retail politics, the billionaire “philanthropists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy),” the swill the media serves up (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), etc., and we’ll see how 2021 goes. I pray that 2020 is eventually seen as a bad dream, and not just a warmup. :)
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Yesterday, I was playing with video presentation software, am working on making my site HTTPS, and getting ready to have a YouTube channel. As with my site, my videos will not be eye candy, but the information is what will be important, with a more personal touch than writing can impart.
The primary message will be pretty simple:
My work is all about helping the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) harmlessly come to pass;
All Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) were founded on new energy practices that increased humanity’s surplus energy;
I am a survivor of free energy organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr); during my odyssey, I discovered that the technology we pursued is on the planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) and likely older than I am;
So, the foundation of the Fifth Epoch is already here, but sequestered from humanity’s awareness and use for reasons of earthly power;
The greatest triumph of the suppressors is making the Fifth Epoch unthinkable, so that almost nobody pursues it, and the few who do are easily dealt with (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1);
I seek people who can think it and discuss it, and they will have important qualities.
Those qualities are:
They care for something beyond their immediate self-interest or their in-group’s welfare; it begins in the heart (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308);
They have awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) past their in-group conditioning;
They have some scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) and can think critically;
A mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312) may be necessary; otherwise, people tend to get trapped in the Fourth Epoch’s religion, which is materialism, which generally blinds them to the Fifth Epoch’s potential.
That may seem pretty easy, but few on Earth possess those qualities in combination, at less than one-in-1,000 in the general population (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and maybe far less. But, those people are necessary for my approach to have a chance of helping.
I run into similar ideas with regularity, such as the media’s role in preventing the public from being able to even imagine anything different (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#imagine) from the current economic and social structure.
I plan to have conversations with fellow travelers on my YouTube channel, and cover the topics on my site in depth, such as:
The medical racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm);
The media and Ed and Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big);
The American Empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) and the lies of history (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more);
Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2266&viewfull=1#post2266), the CIA, and the spooks (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/115-The-Spooks?p=1257&viewfull=1#post1257);
The Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1167&viewfull=1#post1167);
The JFK hit (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean) and related topics;
Many other subjects.
I think that it will have a place in my work, and we’ll see how that goes.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Briefly, my previous post (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/157-My-YouTube-Channel?p=2621&viewfull=1#post2621), on what my themes will be on my YouTube channel, that first choir quality (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) will never change. Where a person’s heart is is everything, and everything else is noise. That is based on 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 resisted that lesson, every step of the way, until it was beaten into my head in no uncertain terms. It is not a pleasant lesson to learn, but it is the truth of the planet we live on.
This came up for me when I was considering what to write about next in my posts, whether it was issues not getting a fair hearing (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/155-Receiving-a-Fair-Hearing?p=2598&viewfull=1#post2598), the latest follies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2421&viewfull=1#post2421) of the “skeptics,” the crazed meme of Trump the Hero (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2620&viewfull=1#post2620), or the pitfalls of the free energy pursuit (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches): it always boils down to the integrity issue. That seeming blindness to reality that the “skeptics”, Trump-worshippers, journalists (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#academic), and pundits (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ed) have, the insane replies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) that Brian got the idea of free energy, the libels against Dennis that live forever (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480) in free energy circles, people’s filing to their deaths at the hands of Western medicine (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings), are all mere variations of the integrity issue, in which the truth is not nearly as important as defending people’s beliefs (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), in-groups (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), self-interest, and the like, and watching people embrace certain death (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#doom) over questioning their indoctrination was something to behold.
If people truly care, they will eventually awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765), and then they are going to be useful for an effort like mine, but not before then. Awakening and staying there is a lifelong process, and my work can only assist that process; it can’t initiate it.

Wade

Hi:
As Ed’s first and so far only biographer (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), I have some responsibility to write a little about subjects that Ed did. Ed mentioned Assange a few times in his writings, I mentioned him (http://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#assange) a few times in Ed’s bio, and I have an Assange thread (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731). So, I need to note that Assange was the beneficiary of a surprise ruling yesterday, to deny the USA’s extradition request (https://www.npr.org/2021/01/04/953142687/british-court-rejects-u-s-request-to-extradite-wikileaks-founder-julian-assange). It was denied on the risk of suicide issue, not on any of the substantive legal issues related to his “crime.”
In the cowardly USA’s media (https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/10/06/the-assange-extradition-case-is-an-unprecedented-attack-on-press-freedom-so-whys-the-media-largely-ignoring-it/), the issues are rarely discussed honestly if at all, which amounts to the USA’s attempt to criminalize investigative journalism. That may be because the media is complicit (https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/09/04/journalists-have-paved-assanges-path-to-a-us-gulag/). Investigative journalism has been endangered in the USA for many years, and the Assange prosecution should make all journalists on Earth quake in their shoes, but I have not seen a mainstream American journalist take on this issue. Most of the mainstream journalists who call the USA’s effort what it is are British, such as Alexander Cockburn (https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/julian-assange-extradition-rejection-wikileaks-b1782138.html) and John Pilger (https://news.yahoo.com/veteran-reporter-john-pilger-says-165630702.html). Chris Hedges is one of the few American journalists speaking out (https://consortiumnews.com/2021/01/04/chris-hedges-the-empire-is-not-done-with-julian-assange/), but he has been marginalized. The only member of the public at yesterday’s hearing was a former British politician (https://consortiumnews.com/2021/01/05/julian-assange-imminent-freedom/).
Ed would have had a lot to say about the Assange issue. As Noam said, the invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) is the crime of the 21st century so far. It was no different in kind from Hitler’s invasion of Poland, although Hitler had more excuse. Assange’s crime was exposing the facts of our atrocities there and related issues. It is hard to overstate the hypocrisy of the USA on these issues, but that is what empires do.

Hi:
Today marks ten years at Avalon! What an oasis it has been. When I began here, Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm) was still alive, I was working in high-tech, my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) was little more than a gleam in my eye, and Avalon is the only forum that has really worked for me. The others were either dead or disappearing, infested by trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), etc. Kudos to Bill and crew, and all who made my experience at Avalon what it has been. We’ll see how the next ten years go. I have high hopes for them.

Hi:
OK, it is time to call out all of the conspiracist nonsense that I have been bombarded with in recent months, but it really began soon after Trump’s election in 2016. I graduated from college in 1981 (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#grad), and after a misadventure in Seattle, began my career in LA in 1983, just as the Reagan greed years were on the rise. I witnessed firsthand the disaster of Reagan’s deregulation of the Savings and Loan industry (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting). It was a capitalistic raping of the taxpayer, as usual. In the go-go 1980s, Michael Milken (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Milken), Ivan Boesky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Boesky), and Donald Trump were the capitalistic heroes that dominated the scene. Mr. “Art of the Deal” Trump soon took his companies into bankruptcy. I vividly remember when the Reagan greed years began going sour, and sunk into scandals such the S&L Scandal, the Iran-Contra Scandal, and the like, that the bankers who so eagerly loaned Trump zillions in the midst of the euphoria belatedly realized that they did not ask for any collateral, and they ended up holding the bag on hundreds of millions of dollars of loans that went bad in Trump’s bankruptcies.
After prison, Milken worked hard to rebuild his “philanthropist (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy)” image, and his posing (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2184&viewfull=1#post2184) with war criminal Tony Blair (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), genocidist Paul Kagame (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda), and fellow “philanthropist” Bill Gates is quite the photo op. Trump was able to skate through bankruptcies and the like, with babes on his arm such as Marla Maples (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marla_Maples), and while I stopped watching TV (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102) at age 18, I was at some friends’ house in the early 1990s as they watched the Miss America pageant, Trump put it on, and said hi to the TV audience during the broadcast, similar to how he made movies shot at his properties put him into a scene, where an actor had to say “Hi, Mr. Trump.” Trump’s narcissism was evident from the beginning. On 9/11, he was actually on a phone call with a radio show, and the discussion soon was about how with the collapse of the World Trade Towers, one of Trump’s buildings was the tallest in Manhattan. That was literally a few hours after the towers collapsed, and those around him defended it by calling it “Donald being Donald.”
Again, I try to not pay much attention to retail politics, but it is not easy in the USA, with the meaningless pageantry and spectacle. Hillary is a psychopath (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmIRYvJQeHM), and Trump is a narcissist, and both qualities seem to help make for successful political and capitalist careers. A generation of Wall Street psychopaths treated Gordon Gecko (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Gekko) as some kind of hero and role model (https://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed).
So, Trump’s political ascent was no great surprise, and the far right has worshipped Trump from the beginning. Less than a year after he was elected president, one of the many New Age-conspiracist yarns I have seen over the years began to get spun around Trump, called QAnon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon#Origin_and_spread). A bunch of the New Age-conspiracist talking heads (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611) jumped onboard with the Trump the Hero meme, the Deep State nonsense, and the like. Oh, there is a deep state, and the GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) live beyond that, but I don’t trust anything that that merry band has to say on the subject.
Ever since the election, the Trump faithful have been calling the election rigged, I have seen several magic dates come and go, and each one has passed without incident. The Big Revelation never came. At the end of 2020, a Trump caravan was initiated (https://www.theepochtimes.com/car-caravans-forming-for-historic-protest-in-washington_3636696.html?utm_source=morningbrief&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mb-2020-12-31), to converge on Washington, D.C., as Trump whipped up the MAGA faithful (https://news.yahoo.com/wild-trump-circled-date-131402640.html), to come witness the miracle, as Trump’s team overturns the election results, in their final great reveal (https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-12-31-situation-update-dec-31st-game-changing-bombshells-january-6.html)! :) Well, they arrived yesterday, and we all know what happened with that MAGA crowd. One man wearing horns yesterday is a QAnon faithful (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/01/06/arizona-qanon-supporter-jake-angeli-joins-storming-us-capitol/6570514002/), has attended various events, and is getting his 15 minutes of fame these days. But to the New Age-conspiracist crowd, he has suddenly become a provocateur for the far left, and his appearance yesterday was part of a “false flag (https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-01-06-staged-viking-who-stormed-capitol-building-blm.html)” attack. Look at all this crap that I have been bombarded with recently (1 (https://granitegrok.com/blog/2020/07/trumps-feds-rumored-to-have-issued-nearly-180000-sealed-criminal-indictments), 2 (https://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2021/01/lin-wood-stakes-are-too-high-so-i-did-due-diligence-to-validate-the-accuracy-of-the-shocking-information-i-am-revealing-tonight-3222267.html), 3 (https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-in-good-position-for-electoral-vote-showdown-grennell_3641812.html?utm_source=morningbrief&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mb-2021-01-04), 4 (https://stillnessinthestorm.com/2021/01/trump-team-plotting-to-present-never-before-seen-specific-evidence-to-congress-on-january-6-2021/), 5 (https://phibetaiota.net/2021/01/robert-steele-best-single-summary-of-election-fraud-ballots-demanding-investigation-total-4340058/#more-159639)). It is all at the tabloid-level of evidence, logic, etc., and is about on par with Flat Earth theory (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth). And it is not going to let up, either. They will just keep making it up as they go, making Trump into a folk hero, etc. At what point do followers of that nonsense begin to wake up? Maybe not in this lifetime.
And it can be hard to avoid being cast into that category, as I deal with similar subject matter at times, but my approach could not be more different.
Enough said for now.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I plan to let it go soon, but the crazed conspiracism around the election has been something else. From the real left comes this editorial (https://consortiumnews.com/2021/01/08/capitol-incident-a-dress-rehearsal/) on the real grievances that average Americans have, but how it has been shamelessly manipulated by a demagogue such as Trump. From the mainstream comes this article (https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/01/07/jan-6-was-9-weeks-and-4-years-in-the-making-455797) on how the Trump riot was years in the making.
While some of the QAnon faithful seem to finally be waking up (https://news.yahoo.com/after-failed-attack-on-capitol-q-anon-asks-if-it-can-still-trust-the-plan-165944608.html), the conspiracists are dialing it up to 11 (1 (https://phibetaiota.net/2021/01/simon-parkes-video-2053-utterly-superb-analysis-trust-the-plan/), 2 (https://phibetaiota.net/2021/01/concluding-trump-triumph-looms/)), and Trump will triumphantly fix it all any day now! :) The “false flag” stuff is truly insane.
I think that QAnon can finally be put into the Flat Earth bucket, but I doubt that the conspiracists will miss a beat, with more breathless announcements about imminent mass arrests, executions, NESARA, and the rest of those fantasies, and there are people around me who will never stop lapping it all up. I have been seeing this stuff since the mid-1990s, and like Flat Earth theory, some people are able to keep waiting for Santa to come down the chimney until the day they die. We can also drag our delusions with us to the afterlife (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/149-The-Human-Afterlife-and-the-Journey-of-our-Souls?p=2339&viewfull=1#post2339), so it might be a long “time” indeed before they begin to suspect that anything is awry with their view of reality.
I wrote it long ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), that the conspiracist worldview is fundamentally a victim-oriented one, but the structuralist one can be, too. In a world of scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), such ideologies find fertile ground. In the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), these ideologies of scarcity and fear will become obsolete, as people won’t see in-groups and out-groups, heroes and villains, advocate violence as a solution, etc. Those dark aspects of the human journey will become part of our storied past, but seen like living in caves is today: a primitive part of our journey, which is now in our past. It had a function and relevance at one time, but we moved past it.

Hi:
Oh, if Ed was alive today, he would have a field day with recent events. George Monbiot called Ed a “genocide denier (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#monbiot),” which was just another smear, as Monbiot justified the attack on Serbia.
I have an Assange thread (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=1731&viewfull=1#post1731), and I respect his work, but he really made it easy for them by playing rock star with his groupies. Others on the left have also made it easy for their assailants (https://consortiumnews.com/2021/01/08/olluding-in-character-assassination/).
Monbiot is supposedly on the left, but not really. He is like the Cruise Missile Left (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cml) – an imperialist in a liberal costume. His “defense” of Assange has been very tepid (https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2020-10-06/monbiot-guardian-assange/), but his employer, The Guardian, has often led the smear attacks on Assange, so Monbiot is being a good boy and licking the hand that feeds him. I corresponded with Monbiot long ago. He might have been kind of left once, but he sold his soul long ago.
From that same ex-Guardian journalist who castigated Monbiot, I discovered that Robert Fisk died last autumn (https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2020-11-30/journalists-smear-robert-fisk/). His “peers” have posthumously smeared him, in cowardly fashion. Fisk was arguably the best journalist in the West on the subject of the Middle East (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#laden).
The incredible aspect of the smears of Assange is that those journalists are slitting their own throats. The prosecution of Assange is part of a global assault on journalism, and those imperial lapdogs are helping hasten the demise of their profession, so that their work will be indistinguishable from that of those Soviet “journalists” who worked for Pravda. It is kind of surreal to witness these attacks on Assange.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I shouldn’t be surprised that the journalist (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=2626&viewfull=1#post2626) who castigated Monbiot took him to task (https://www.palestinechronicle.com/george-monbiot-the-lefts-very-own-mccarthy/) for his smears of Ed. I only recently stumbled onto that journalist’s work, but am one of his new fans. :)

Hi:
As I write on my essay update (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1447&viewfull=1#post1447), I also constantly read, and have been bearing down to try to only read material that is related to my essay update, but I also cover such a large swath of topics that there is relatively little that is off-limits. :)
In the past few days, after nearly two months of plunking along on it, I finished Brandon Sanderson’s latest entry (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49021976-rhythm-of-war) in what will surely be his magnum opus, and at this rate, he will finish the series when I am 80. It gives me something to live for. :)
Seriously, I read fiction and fantasy while I do my primary writing work, to help keep me balanced, mentally and emotionally, and to keep my imagination running at full steam (hiking helps, too). That is all important for being able to do my public writing, especially this essay update, which is going well. As I stated before, I decided, once I decided to take 2021 off and write, to approach the update a little differently, and I have been concentrating on the earliest chapters of the essay. I have been going deep on quite a few scientific subjects to do that section of my essay justice. Of course, I always write at the popularized science level, so it is not as deep as a scientific specialist in those areas, but deep enough to do the subjects justice, and the heavyweight scientists who have weighed in on my work have agreed that I am doing them justice. I write with them in mind, as well as my primary audience, the lay audience. I am a layman, too.
That stated, I just finished The Age of Wood (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084G9YMLS/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i0). It was not quite what I expected. I would be a fool to not learn something new in every book like that that I read, and this one provided unexpected horizons for me, such as how wood has played into architecture and engineering over the millennia. The Hidden Life of Trees (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28256439-the-hidden-life-of-trees) it definitely was not, as the author of The Age of Wood saw trees in purely utilitarian terms: how they benefit humanity.
The ending of The Age of Wood was particularly disappointing, and I suppose that any book like that, which cannot even seem to glimpse the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), is going to disappoint me. One of the limits of a book like that will be its materialism, but that is only part of it. The scientific mindset is so deficient in many ways, not the least of which is the naïveté of scientists, which Bucky remarked on (https://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#naive) and Brian confessed to (https://ahealedplanet.net/synopsis.htm#naive). Brian was nearly the epitome of the kind of scientist needed to help usher in the Fifth Epoch, but there are so few of them out there.
The naïveté and blindness of scientists is related to what can be seen with “skeptics,” as McLuhan so brilliantly covered in his masterpiece (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2421&viewfull=1#post2421). Science does not equal materialism, and it is irrational to think so. Science is a process, it has its limits as it is currently conceived, and the greatest scientists knew it well (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical). It is the hacks that turned science into a religion, such as Carl Sagan (https://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan), who was a kind of charismatic bully/know-it-all, to those who knew him well, and he was a high priest of materialism in his day.
Today, I read a few articles on science, intelligence, and conspiracies, which began with an article on how to read the news like a scientist (https://ideas.ted.com/how-to-read-the-news-like-a-scientist/). One article was on science denial (https://theconversation.com/the-thinking-error-at-the-root-of-science-denial-96099), the one on intelligence (http://nautil.us/blog/the-case-for-professors-of-stupidity) argued for stupidity to be a scientific study, and one on conspiracies (https://www.inverse.com/article/37463-conspiracy-beliefs-illusory-pattern-perception) argued that conspiracy theorists have a screw loose. I’ll take these one at a time.
The how to read the news like a scientist (https://ideas.ted.com/how-to-read-the-news-like-a-scientist/) article was from a TED talk. I regard TED as infotainment, and by itself, I never take it seriously. God, they featured the libeler Sophal Ear (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#ear) and banned Rupert Sheldrake (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page2?p=382&viewfull=1#post382). Although the talk is from 2019, it is apropos today, and takes the same tack that I have seen in Scientific American in recent years, as Big Pharma now dominates its editorial stance. If you doubt that vaccines are safe and effective, you are a Flat Earther. There are very good reasons to doubt the safety and effectiveness of vaccinations (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484). Medicine and capitalism make very poor bedfellows, and the conflicts of interest in the vaccine industry are mind-boggling. The vaccine industry is one of the most pernicious aspects of the medical racket (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/109-The-Medical-Racket?p=1190&viewfull=1#post1190). Today, nearly every defense of science that I have seen in recent years calls vaccination skeptics irrational Flat Earther types. I fully agree that the strident anti-vaxxers often don’t know much about the science, but pointing to their admitted political fervor should not take the place of evaluating the evidence.
On reading the news like a scientist, as that article advocated, you can’t do any better than Noam and Ed (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv), but, of course, you will almost never see those articles mention them. Noam and Ed saw capitalism for what it is, and its damaging effects to democratic societies, but those scientific defenders never seem to be able to glimpse it.
The one on science denial (https://theconversation.com/the-thinking-error-at-the-root-of-science-denial-96099) was almost charming in its naïveté. Once again, vaccination skeptics are science deniers, in that author’s thinking, and the article linked to JAMA, of all things (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#quacks), to argue that the link between vaccinations and autism has been thoroughly debunked. The author mentioned that climate change deniers are prominently funded by the Hydrocarbon Lobby, but can’t seem to see the awesome conflicts of interest in vaccination science.
I am not into the Discovery Institute’s challenges to evolution, so score another point for the author, but the author does what so many others do, in equating anti-evolutionists and climate-change deniers with vaccination skeptics. It is a kind of guilt by association, as they all get lumped together.
The article on conspiracy theorists (https://www.inverse.com/article/37463-conspiracy-beliefs-illusory-pattern-perception) and their invalid pattern recognition is rich. The fatal flaw in the logic of authors like that is thinking that conspiracies simply cannot exist, anybody who thinks so has a screw loose, and has invalid pattern recognition. That some people are more prone to seeing conspiracies and believing in paranormal phenomena does not mean that those things don’t exist. My life was wrecked by an international conspiracy (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), and I don’t have a belief in the paranormal; I have knowledge of it (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown), as did pretty much all of my fellow free energy travelers, and we were almost all scientists, with some from the big time. Beliefs are for people who don’t have the experience of something, and beliefs are a poor substitute for knowledge.
The article on stupidity (http://nautil.us/blog/the-case-for-professors-of-stupidity) was refreshing in ways. Bertrand Russell was Noam’s inspiration for his political work. But the article also said that those who oppose GMO foods are scientifically illiterate. God, the conflicts of interest there are once again mind-boggling. I do not trust any genetic “engineering” done by corporations or national security states: they are ethically compromised, as are virtually all organizations on Earth, in our super-Epoch of scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming).
In the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), there will not be power structures that are so welcoming to psychopaths and narcissists, science will only vaguely resemble today’s mainstream version of it, and I doubt that the vaccination concept will survive (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm1). The irrational and naïve defenses of science that we see today will also go the way of all of our scarcity-based ideologies (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). It can’t come too soon. :)

Wade

Hi:
My wife sent me this link (https://indica.medium.com/american-exceptionalism-is-getting-you-killed-d3ef192633c1) recently, on delusional American exceptionalism, the American Empire (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm), and the USA’s increasing cognitive dissonance (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive). The guy lived in Columbus in the 1990s like I did (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=272&viewfull=1#post272), so we were neighbors. He lives in Sri Lanka today. His style is a bit more ribald than mine is, but I think that I am a fan. I watched the video at the bottom of his rant, too. It was entertaining.
He does not offer solutions, but I do (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and one outcome will be the end of nations (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations). I have written plenty on American insanity (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2625&viewfull=1#post2625) these days on the right, with the Trump the Hero meme, and Americans have not been my target audience for many years. That guy actually outlined pretty well why that is: Americans are too deluded, as a group, to pull their heads out of the sand. There might be one here and there, but they will be rare. However, they are rare (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), anyplace on Earth, so Americans are really not very exceptional. :)

Hi:
As I keep getting conspiracist fantasies dumped into my email, particularly Steele’s, and yesterday’s (https://phibetaiota.net/2021/01/concluding-trump-triumph-looms/#more-159428) was a doozy, it hit me in a way that I had not thought about before. Last week’s storming of the Capitol began this line of thought. What those conspiracists are predicting and advocating is a military coup, under the name of democracy! Really, would it be much different than what Hitler did, or any military coup? According to them, this will be the “good coup,” to restore democracy, the White Hats take out the bad guys, with firing squads on the White House lawn, the confiscation of trillions, etc. As I witness this true insanity, many thoughts come up, and one is recalling what Seth said long ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist): the means become the ends. This conspiracist fervor is reminiscent of Ed’s writings on good and bad genocide (https://fair.org/extra/good-and-bad-genocide/).
While that scenario answers the prayers of the conspiracists, the rest of the world would rightly see it as a military coup and a triumph of the crazies; what happened last week on steroids. The “false flag” fable that conspiracists began promoting immediately after the riot is pure fantasy (https://apnews.com/article/us-capitol-trump-supporters-1806ea8dc15a2c04f2a68acd6b55cace), as usual. Nearly every mass shooting in the USA in the past several years has been immediately labeled a “false flag” by the gun-toting conspiracists, or called staged or it never even happened, such as the Sandy Hook massacre.
Of course, it is all tabloid-level conspiracism that won’t happen, and the peddlers of that tripe won’t miss a beat (they haven’t so far, for more than three years and running, ever since the QAnon fantasy was cooked up), make up even more tortured scenarios for why it didn’t happen, and the conspiracist faithful will lap it up, never suspecting that something might be awry.
I don’t want to pick on the conspiracists too much, as that dogmatic and unthinking embracement of obviously false beliefs is something that nearly all people do (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), even scientists and other supposedly rational and free thinkers. Some just looks crazier than others, and in the USA at least, this Trump the Hero meme is one of the craziest. In a way, it is similar to the Sebastião fantasies among the Portuguese peasantry (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#annex). Steele is simply retreading it, arguing that JFK, Jr., is still alive and will suddenly appear, alive and well, in the midst of setting matters straight with the firing squads, etc.
The conspiracists have literally invoked a Bible-ish “ten days of darkness” to describe yesterday through the 20th, when Biden will be inaugurated. According to Steele, today is supposed to be “epic (https://phibetaiota.net/2021/01/concluding-trump-triumph-looms/#more-159428).” Trump’s trip to the border wall today (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/eyes-president-trump-heads-texas-visit-border-wall/story?id=75185180) seems a little less than epic, but we’ll just see about that. :)

Hi:
As I noted yesterday (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2630&viewfull=1#post2630), Steele predicted that yesterday would be “epic,” and the Trump conspiracist faithful was planning on the big announcement yesterday, of Trump’s final victory over the forces of darkness. Well, I watched Trump’s speech, and other than warning against throwing him out of office before the inauguration date, about all that he did was extol the virtues of his border wall. That may have been his last speech as president. I looked at Steele’s publications at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Robert-David-STEELE-Vivas/e/B001K873R4?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1610490719&sr=1-1), and if I am going to be charitable, I can call him batsh*t crazy, and not on some spook assignment. His stuff is pretty much the QAnon canon. Maybe he and his buddy Parkes are merely insane, making it up as they go and truly believing it (JFK, Jr., is alive! :) ). When their predicted events don’t happen (none of significance ever have, to my knowledge), it doesn’t matter, and they make up new rubbish without missing a beat. For me, the incredible part is not that they just make it up as they go, but they have such loyal followings, and like Flat Earthers, nothing will ever shake their faith. Credible evidence and failed predictions are irrelevant.
I have been calling out pro-Trump conspiracists during the past few weeks (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611), for good reason, such as the above, and I need to make a post on distinguishing what I do (or what Brian and Dennis did) from the crazed conspiracists. Conspiracies exist, and can have great ramifications, although the left denies their existence or importance (https://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion), for ideological reasons. The JFK hit (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower) was certainly the result of a conspiracy, and could well have been related to the ET issue (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big). I bore the brunt of the organized suppression of free energy (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), and had my youth and idealism to thank for surviving the ordeal with my sanity intact, although my life was ruined. The ET and free energy cover-ups are conjoined in history’s greatest cover-up (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spacemining). Brian hosted a UFO conference as he was just getting his feet wet in the free energy milieu, was approached by the military, and had a life-shortening experience immediately afterward (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847). The closest that he ever came to publicly disclosing it was in the prologue of his last book (https://ahealedplanet.net/synopsis.htm#naive). Greer later named the people involved (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/151-Insiders-whistleblowers-pretenders-the-GCs-and-friends-and-the-Fifth-Epoch/page2?p=2470&viewfull=1#post2470). To his life’s end, Brian was afraid that going public with it would give the spooks a reason to finish the job. My close friend was kidnapped (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173) and given a peek at what is in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard. The technologies are real, as is the organized suppression and cover-up. That is a life-risking milieu to play in, and it was too rich for me.
While I respect Greer’s Disclosure Project work (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938), he has proven himself to be badly out of his depth in the free energy field, with his naïve forays into it, and his pursuit of that “mini-alien (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/143-The-JFK-Hit-the-CIA-ETs-and-Free-Energy?p=2221&viewfull=1#post2221)” has been embarrassing to witness, as well as his Charles Atlas impressions. Brian had his Lapis Pig, and Dennis will be a fanatical Christian to his grave. These are the personal idiosyncrasies and foibles that attend the milieu (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patriot), and each of those men played the hero (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1), to one degree or another, and that role comes with plenty of baggage, although their antics were tame compared to free energy inventors who declared themselves the Messiah and Second Coming (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah). These issues are all part of why I am taking the approach that I am (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).
One problem with being pushed to the margins is that with almost no venues anywhere near the mainstream that are not hostile, people such as Brian were reduced to interviewing with Jeff Rense and the Natural News guy (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), who grind conspiracist axes. Late in his life, Brian noted that the more he pursued the truth, the more ostracized he was. If Noam is never on the American media, except as a punching bag (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#criticisms), what chance would Brian have (or me?)? Dennis was smeared by the mainstream media (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072) almost since the day I met him, and they never let up, with their parades of lies. It primed me for Noam and Ed’s work (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big).
Basically, the conspiracist mindset sees the world as made of good guys and bad guys, and the (often) imaginary elites are the bad guys, while the good guys fight against them. Oh, there are White Hats and Black Hats – we encountered them (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623) – but be very careful in trusting anybody who claims to publicly reveal their identities, and I doubt that anybody in that merry band (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611vvvvv) has ever played at the levels where they would encounter them.
Ralph (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2266&viewfull=1#post2266) was the epitome of a CIA whistleblower, while Steele is on the other end of the spectrum, with zero credibility, as he spins his wild yarns. Ed eerily predicted (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#global) where the Internet was headed back in the 1990s, and he and Noam were very open to critiques of their work and revised the Propaganda Model (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#subsequent) a little over the years. I have yet to see one of those conspiracists address their failed predictions (in the hundreds, easily), or really test their work against reality, like a scholar or scientist would. It is all secret stuff that they are supposedly privy to, which never has any credible evidence for it, and they are never wrong, at least in the eyes of their followers.
I won’t be the guy to do it, but somebody ought to, if it has not happened yet, chronicle the conspiracist claims of Trump the Hero, taking on the Deep State and the satanic pedophiles, and keep a scorecard of their accuracy, and they have not been vague claims, but very specific claims on sealed indictments, mass arrests that have already been made, and the big ones any day now! ( :) ), and the like. The boys have likely cried wolf at least a thousand times, collectively, by now. At what point can they be permanently dismissed from the ranks of the credible?
I deal in facts, evidence, logic, believe in the scientific ideal (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories), and stay away from much speculation, while those conspiracists do nothing but that, but it is worse, as they claim to know facts and make breathless predictions that never, ever materialize.
Again, retail politics, particularly the American version of it, is meaningless. All retail politics is merely reshuffling the deck of scarcity (https://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics), and none of that is going to right our sinking ship (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). Only abundance (https://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) can do that.
I am not a fan of Joe Biden, who spent his career as a machine politician, but the sitting president is way down the food chain of power on Earth (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). With JFK’s murder, the office was permanently demoted. The end of World War II (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sitting) really marked the USA’s imperial ascendance and the peak of its global influence, and it basically took over for Europe (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection), overthrowing governments, erecting fascist regimes, engaging in numerous genocides (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1) (it was genocidal from the beginning (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint)), and acting on merely a larger scale than Rome did two millennia ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cleopatra).
As I start a YouTube channel, do interviews, update the big essay and publish a book, I’ll steer very clear of conspiracist circles. They don’t get it, and likely won’t, at least until the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) arrives. :)
Best,
Wade

Hi:
For the past few days, I have been reading The Fourth Phase of Water (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17930467-the-fourth-phase-of-water). It is filled with highly intriguing experimental results. Here (https://ecee.colorado.edu/~ecen5555/SourceMaterial/Pollack13.pdf) is an article by the professor, but the issue is on the fringes today. A scientific critique was published last year (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.06822.pdf). What I am finding particularly interesting is that for mere water, there are numerous competing hypotheses for its behavior. Scientists who had novel experimental findings regarding water’s properties could see their careers end via inquisition, such as what happened to Benveniste (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benveniste_affair).
In fact, this has inspired me to try to consolidate strands of it in my big essay into its own section. I already have a chapter on the orthodox framework and its limitations (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox). I am going to either expand it significantly, or it will get its own chapter, in which I will discuss how scientific findings are ignored if not actively suppressed, if they threaten cherished theories or economic empires. Of course, free energy is chief among them.
It is a huge myth that scientist are free-thinking seekers of truth. Oh, some are, and many start that way, but the realities of the scientific establishment are not conducive to it. Scientists constantly vie for funding, and while some areas of research are “hot,” others are off-limits. Brian worked with Marcel Vogel (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#vogel) on just this area of research, as did legends such as Victor Schauberger (whom Wikipedia naturally calls a “pseudoscientist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Schauberger)”).

Hi:
To my post this morning (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/155-Receiving-a-Fair-Hearing?p=2632&viewfull=1#post2632), I don’t want to pick on scientists too much, or the crazed conspiracists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2631&viewfull=1#post2631) (well, a little, for some who are behaving fraudulently), or all those who fail the tests of their integrity (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) (nobody on Earth scores 100% on that test :) ), or those who had crazed reactions (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) to the mere idea of free energy. This is just what a world of scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) looks like. I cannot overemphasize that in the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), virtually nothing about today’s world will survive, because it is all based on scarcity and fear.
But a world of abundance (https://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) will necessarily be based on energy abundance. Without energy abundance (which humanity has never really experienced before, other than the brief golden ages before that Epoch’s easy energy was exhausted – the “honeymoon period”), true abundance cannot manifest (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). It really is that simple.

Hi:
I saw this article (https://www.altaonline.com/books/fiction/a34839129/john-freeman-butchering-the-mythic-west/?utm_source=pocket-newtab) today. Americans might finally be beginning to grow up, awaken, and face our evil past and present (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#early), instead of the heroic tales of glory (https://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms) and other lies (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm). I do not have too much expectation of that, but it is refreshing to see that in the quasi-mainstream.

Hi:
Around midnight on Wednesday morning, I was awakened from a sound sleep by the house’s shaking. Almost nothing can wake me up, but it felt for a moment like the world was ending. The shaking was from tree limbs hitting the house, although I could not see any structural damage in the daylight. It took me a few hours to clean up the yard, cutting up some pretty big limbs, and I have a big pile that will go into the yard waste recycler over the next month.
I went to my favorite local trail the next day, to see what the damage was, and returned yesterday to further investigate the big one. I have been hiking on that mountain, year-round, for more than 20 years, and this treefall was likely in the top three. I won’t hike on my favorite trail again until it is cleared, as so many trees were down. The one that really interested me was a hemlock that was leaned up against another tree, as it had uprooted. Attached are pictures of it from last spring, and what I recorded this week. It collapsed on the trail for its full length, and I paced it off, to estimate its height, which was probably between 150 and 170 feet. Glad that I wasn’t there when it came down. :)
As you can see in the photos, it looks like it came down when another tree came down on its trunk. That kind of “bowling alley” effect can be regularly seen in the treefalls.
That is a good example of why I avoid hiking when it is windy. I have heard tales of people being killed up here by falling trees, and a relative was nearly killed by one, while somebody with him was killed. It does not happen often up here, that people are killed by falling trees, not compared to the other ways that they die in the mountains, but it is one that it pays to be cautious of. A college roommate who lives here was traveling with his family when a windstorm crashed a huge tree onto his house, which came to rest on his son’s bed. He was kind of grateful when he returned home and saw that.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I’ll do a current events post or two today. I have written plenty about RFK, Jr., in recent months (1 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/145-The-Coronavirus-Pandemic?p=2242&viewfull=1#post2242), 2 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2184&viewfull=1#post2184), 3 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page3?p=2604&viewfull=1#post2604)), and his recent articles on the COVID-19 vaccines do not disappoint (1 (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/thousands-covid-vaccine-injuries-13-deaths-reported-december/), 2 (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/death-by-coincidence/)). While he acknowledged that the murders of his father and uncle were related (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page3?p=2604&viewfull=1#post2604), he is not onboard with the conspiracist fantasies out there.
The vaccination industry is a racket, and woe to humanity, for what is happening today regarding the pandemic. Vaccination is neither safe nor effective, and at best, it trades a short-term acute reaction (which is the healthy response of immune systems) to chronic ones that often lead to autoimmune diseases. The science behind vaccinations today is hidden behind carefully guarded trade secrets, so it is even worse than the snake-oil days of proprietary medicine (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#proprietary). Capitalism and medicine make very poor bedfellows. Heck, Noam said that that “capitalist democracy” was a contradiction in terms, as capitalism is antithetical to freedom. Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday) was about the distortions of capitalism on the news process.
RFK, Jr.’s, vaccination articles are all based on peer-reviewed literature, not crazed conspiracist rumors. I am sympathetic to his efforts to distinguish what he is doing from “populist conspiracism.” I am kind of in the same boat, and that will be a subject for the next post.

Hi:
I doubt that there has been even one genuine “lone nut” presidential assassination attempt in American history. The “American Way” seems to be to serve up a lone nut scapegoat each time. The first presidential assassination may have been inflicted on Zachary Taylor (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#taylor), and the only presidential attempt that was officially acknowledged to be the result of a conspiracy was Lincoln’s. It was too obvious to deny, as the assassins tried to kill multiple officials at the same time. JFK’s assassination was definitely the result of a conspiracy (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), and I have little faith in the integrity of any official American investigation. From what I have seen, they are compromised from the outset, or were intended to be cover-ups from the beginning. The very term “conspiracy theory” was hatched by the CIA to discredit anybody who did not swallow the Warren Commission’s frame job.
So, if officialdom cannot be trusted, who can be? That is not an easy question to answer. I have my pantheon of the heroic (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042), but it is a small one. My life was ruined by an international conspiracy (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), and I have written on the incredible dishonesty and gullibility (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480) around that situation by people in the field and around it. Honest, critical thinkers are very hard to come by in this world, particularly those who can let go of their ideologies (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). But those are the only people who can help my effort (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Ideological allegiance is one of the greatest enemies of enlightenment. In a world of scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), people chose the ideologies that feed them, and they will rarely relinquish them in their lifetimes. This is the integrity (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=1280&viewfull=1#post1280)-and-sentience (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) issue, and it does not seem to have much to do with “intelligence.” In fact, the more “intelligent” seem to get mired the deepest at times, as they defend their delusions.
As Ed showed, in the mainstream media, any conspiracy theory will do, if it is about official enemies, and even when shown to be baseless, the conspiracy theories can live forever in the echo chamber (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#myths), as they attain mythical status. Most of what I was taught while young was a pack of lies (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm).
But, as I began looking into events that may have been conspiratorial, I gradually became appalled at the circus that attended those situations (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#jfk). Some was intentional, to muddy the waters, but what was more disheartening was the sheer craziness of the theorizing by so many others. Some of it was high-profile, such as Washington Post’s publishing that maybe there were two gunmen who took out JFK, but that they were unrelated and it was pure coincidence that they were both shooting at JFK at the same time (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#theories). So, the media can act the stupidest, but the public at large is often no better.
On one hand, Noam is right on how rabid conspiracism is highly counterproductive to political-economic progress. On the other, Noam has a kind of aversion to conspiracies, which Mike Parenti remarked on (http://911blogger.com/node/15824). Ed was less conspiracy-averse, and was onboard with the idea that JFK was taken out in a conspiracy that was covered up.
After 9/11 happened (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11), there were so many hard-to-believe actions by the American government that authors who dabbled in satire had to start putting “satire” at the top of their articles, as they were getting mixed up with truly bizarre but actual events, such as the crazed WMD conspiracy that was the rationale for invading Iraq (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). There was never any credible evidence for it, but the Bush administration just made it up as it went along. So, again, the official conspiracy theories, and how the media parrots them, are by far the most damaging kind of conspiracism, as the invasion of Iraq is the crime of the 21st century so far.
But the fringes can be crazier. I have been swept up in that crap for many years, and do what I can to extricate myself from it. A few issues have triggered this post, one of which is the surreal “Trump the Hero” meme that has come from the far right, and the QAnon fraud is representative of how this stuff works. Even this past weekend, I was barraged with email from the usual suspects, such as Parkes (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2620&viewfull=1#post2620) (and this (https://stateofthenation.co/?p=47943)), that incredibly state that Trump’s triumph is still going to happen by inauguration day. The QAnon people are having their worldviews crumble (https://news.yahoo.com/qanon-digital-soldier-marches-undeterred-181430831.html), picking up the pieces of shattered psyches won’t be pretty, and these people (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611) bear some responsibility for this sad state of affairs, as well as the lives lost in the Capitol Riot, which are portrayed by the QAnon crowd today as a “false flag,” when all of the identities and arrests that I am aware of were of Trump-ites. The far right is coming unglued right now (1 (https://www.yahoo.com/news/online-far-movements-fracture-wake-215000078.html), 2 (https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/trump-supporters-betrayed-203744043.html)). We’ll see what happens on inauguration day.
I have seen this conspiracist stuff passed off as “myths,” “entertainment,” and “jokes” over the years, when they were finally exposed as completely baseless, but that is a poor excuse for deceiving the public, alleging “facts” that are pure fantasy, and the like. I was also spurred to write this from reading about how a “joke” on the Internet, among teenagers, it seems, is denying that Hellen Keller was blind and deaf, and even a real person (1 (https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/01/06/tiktok-helen-keller-didnt-exist-trend-explored-heres-why-people-are-questioning-if-she-was-real/), 2 (https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/career/tiktok-conspiracy-calls-helen-keller-a-fraud-disability-advocates-say-their-arguments-are-ableist-and-detrimental/ar-BB1cH0QL), 3 (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/jan/07/helen-keller-why-is-a-tiktok-conspiracy-theory-undermining-her-story)). It is reminiscent of the arguments and “evidence” of Holocaust Deniers (https://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#holocaust). These are bizarre days, and we’ll see if we make it as a species (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). This insanity, aided by those conspiracists, is not helping matters.

Hi:
Time for a little pandemic news…
I don’t trust any of the big medical institutions, for good reason (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#system), and WHO has long been particularly suspect in my book. Its biggest funder today is Bill Gates, and WHO changed its definitions of pandemic and herd immunity (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/violating-science-who-changes-meaning-herd-immunity/), to play into the “vaccinations for everybody” obsession that Gates has. There is plenty of crazy conspiracism circulating around these issues, but the totalitarian, and increasingly unscientific, nature of what Gates is ramming through is a little scary. As I have mentioned plenty, capitalism and medicine make very poor bedfellows, and don’t trust any billionaire “philanthropists (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy).”

Wade

Hi:
I recently came up with a theme for my posts while I work on the essay update, on what has not worked so far and why (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). Current events have spurred this, particularly the “philanthropy (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/bill-gates-fortune-grows-ties-vaccine-makers/)” of Bill Gates. I am not really onboard with the NWO stuff and Gates, as far as him being part of some diabolical plan for world domination. I am not going to give him that much “credit.” But he sure isn’t Saint Bill (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-global-empire-threatens-life/), either.
The idea that “rich philanthropists (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich)” are going to right the ship and help make free energy happen is a beginner’s delusion, and one of the most common that I have seen. That book I am currently reading (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1403923&viewfull=1#post1403923) is about water’s social behavior. The first society of life seems to have been bacterial colonies, which I will be writing a lot about in my essay update. Some of the first animals lived in colonies, such as sponges (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals). Trees have social behaviors, as The Hidden Life of Trees (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28256439-the-hidden-life-of-trees) makes clear.
Because animals generally reproduce sexually (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sex), it demands some kind of social behavior, and display (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#display1) features in fossils provide mute evidence of it. Hive insects form exemplary societies, and there is a lot of biological specialization. Scientists call the “elites” queens, with soldiers, drones, workers, and the like, as human societies have similar role-playing. Among vertebrates, social behaviors are common, especially among herd animals, and humans are herd animals.
Prosimians (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#primate1) are generally solitary (except for lemurs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lemur), which did not have simian competition), only coming together to mate, but simians (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#monkeysplit) are highly social and have dominance hierarchies. Those who reach the hierarchy tops get the safest sleeping berths, the best food, the best mates, and the like, and that general dynamic has held clear up to today’s industrial societies. It has been called “Machiavellian social organization (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1)” in simians, and humans are the apotheosis of it. A prominent hypothesis today is that the human line’s growing brain (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain) was about enhancing social navigation.
Bonobos (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) are the only female-dominated great apes, and there has never been a female-dominated human society. Men have always sought to dominate their societies, and their plotting has always been accompanied by violence or the threat of it. The only exception was the matrilineal village (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1). With the rise of machines in the industrial revolution, brute strength has been further deprecated, violence has become increasingly unacceptable, women have been rising to prominence as never before, and that can only be a positive trend.
When humans were in their hunter-gatherer phase (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), men had a genetic predisposition for dominance, but there was no energy surplus to acquire and use to gain societal dominance, so that goal was regularly frustrated, and psychopathic men were often killed by their societies, as societies could not afford them.
When domestication and settled life was invented (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran), then men could pursue dominance again, and they did. The chiefdom put an end to the Neolithic bliss of matrilineal horticultural villages, as men rose to dominance again, through plotting and violence, as they expropriated the energy surplus of horticulture. Herder societies (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goat) were also male-dominated, as men’s physical strength was needed to manage the herds.
But in a world of scarcity, fear, and ever-present violence, in ways that can be hard for industrial peoples to comprehend, those dominant men had to also create some kind of legitimacy for their rule, as they controlled and distributed the energy surplus. And, of course, their religions justified their dominance. Mystical works such as Michael’s (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael) state that those social roles are to an extent baked into our souls. So, this may be deeply ingrained indeed. :)
When civilization arose, the new professional priesthood wiped out the singing and dancing rituals (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1) of hunter-gather societies in favor of urban religions, and the priesthoods entered into Faustian deals with the new urban elites and conferred divine status or sanction to them (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity). That charade was played, in one way or another, in all agrarian civilizations, and polities’ conquering each other and forming empires happened from the beginning (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#akkadian).
Marx was right that the “means of production” dictated the social relations, and with the rise of Europe, as it conquered the world (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2) and industrialized (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse) (they were closely related dynamics), came the nation and corporation (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#rivalry), which have been the dominant social institutions in the Fourth Epoch.
And, little different from the “big men” of chiefdoms, who put on displays of their ill-gotten wealth with feasts, potlaches, and the like, the rise of nations and corporations saw the appearance of the “philanthropist (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy).” As I have stated, “rich philanthropist (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich)” is an oxymoron, like “capitalist democracy” is. So-called “philanthropy” really took off during the Gilded Age of American industrialization after its Civil War. The most rapacious capitalists, called robber barons, became “philanthropists,” and the most legendary of them was John D. Rockefeller (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1). Humanity has suffered greatly from such “philanthropy.” In coming posts, I will explore that brand of philanthropy, to the current manifestation of it, which is epitomized by Bill Gates, whom you would not want over for dinner. In conjunction with such “philanthropy” has been these new robber barons who assumed the mantle of “visionary,” and it has been something to behold, when I recovered from my dismay and sometimes disgust.
From none of the current billionaire “philanthropists” and “visionaries” have I seen anything that resembles or points to the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). If Gates, Bezos, Musk, the Google Boys, and others are not aware that free energy and antigravity technologies are already on the planet (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) and likely older than I am, they are naïve indeed. I personally doubt that they are all that ignorant, but have been “persuaded” to keep playing their games of “philanthropy” and “visionary,” knowing their place, which is down the food chain of power on Earth (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) a ways. I call politicians and the new robber barons the “retail elite,” who really have quite limited power. Personally, I doubt that Gates is in on it that much, but is allowed to play his “philanthropic” games, which are no threat at all to the GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), and actually furthers their plans in ways. I think that if any of them actually engaged in true philanthropy and humanitarian acts, in ways that could lead to the Fifth Epoch, they would get a gentle, or perhaps not so gentle (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#windmill), reorientation toward the standard “philanthropy” and “vision,” which is the safe kind that does not threaten Earth’s power structure. A lot more is coming.

Hi:
To provide an example of how I am revising my big essay, attached is my current index for the essay. It is a lot shorter than today’s (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm). All of those chapters still exist, and I added some, but I am trying to make my work easier to digest, and making it easier to navigate is part of that. I am also busting up most of my timelines, and putting them at the beginning of the chapters (probably abbreviated), and I am moving the intact timelines to a different essay entirely. It should make it easier to digest.
What I have noticed is that if people are not scientists or in other intellectual professions, it can be hard for them to digest. If only scientists and geniuses can digest my big essay, I will have failed my intention. I have been trying to make my work easier to digest ever since my first site in 1996.

Hi:
Here (https://exopolitics.org/was-earths-secret-occult-ruler-eliminated-in-us-led-takedown-of-global-deep-state/) is a conspiracist twofer, a Salla-Wilcock tag-team post. One of the Rothschilds died recently, and Wilcock assigns responsibility to Mike Pompeo and friends, as they wipe out the GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc). Our experience with the so-called White Hats and Black Hats (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623) is that they do not identify themselves. Not only did David Rockefeller call Dennis at home (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888), but the Rothschilds also got involved. The fact that they gave their names means, to me, that they do not play at the GC level, so I take a huge grain of salt with this recent “revelation,” as I do for everything that comes from those people (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611), as they derive deep meaning from a picture of wine bottles. I do my best to ignore them, but I keep being bombarded with stuff like that. Of course, for the 100th time, at least, Wilcock and crew have put a specific date on the grand announcement, which should happen either today or tomorrow. Hold on to your hats! :)

Hi:
This will be a little conspiratorial retrospective of my life, and I’ll take it up to today, when the QAnon faithful finally realized how they have been had, or, at least, most of them. :)
My father’s entire career was spent working for the federal government, following three years in the Marines (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2483&viewfull=1#post2483), and he had to get a top-secret security clearance to work at NASA (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482). As I look back at it, it really was bizarre to be a scientific prodigy whose mother brought home tabloids from the grocery store (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102). I was raised in a military family in a military community, so I was imbued with national security state stuff from an early age. That crap influenced my nomination to the Air Force Academy (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2483&viewfull=1#post2483).
After I put aside the tabloids, I was still fascinated by the strange, such as reading Frank Edwards’ books, but I began to put that aside when I reached 16, began training in earnest to be a scientist, spent a summer (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2495&viewfull=1#post2495) in Europe, and got my energy dreams (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) – unit that fateful day in the Silva class (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown). Little did I know it at the time, but I was ruined as a mainstream scientist before I ever began. Five years later, Brian had a similar experience while performing the same exercise (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Brian_O'Leary#Exploring_Inner_and_Outer_Space,_1989), and it ruined him as a mainstream scientist, too. That voice in my head (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) radically changed my life’s direction, so I knew that there was far more than met the eye happening in my life.
However, I still read the newspaper every day (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), believing that it approximated the truth, but my subscription to Christian Science Monitor in my LA days was evidence that I was searching for the truth. That was a year or so after my Easter Bunny question (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing). Also, by that time, I was aware of my close relative’s secret CIA life (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), I got to hear gangster tales (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1408&viewfull=1#post1408), CIA hit tales from my LA pals, and other events that began wising me up to the underbelly of American society, as well as working in Skid Row (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928). My awakening (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) was a long, fitful process, but I had been awakened enough so that I could survive my journey with Dennis (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601), which that voice led me to (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2).
During my Seattle days with Dennis, I was but a lamb, and my awakening process began going into overdrive. But even then, it was hard to believe that my boss would conspire to steal Dennis’s company (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604), and that those employees that I worked alongside would cheer the theft. I did not yet understand how deeply the media lied about Dennis (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2055&viewfull=1#post2055), although when Dennis told me about his employee’s death (https://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), the stakes of the game began to become clearer. But I certainly did not have a conspiracist mindset, and never really did. I never used conspiracies as the primary explanatory framework of the world I encountered. They could have great impact, but I was always about what we could do, not what they did, and since they operated in the shadows, there was not really any way to practically protect against them, other than to not make it easy for them.
When I became Dennis’s partner in Boston (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614), that was when my learning curve began to insanely steepen. Dennis was right about the “real interview (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#radio)” on that radio show interview, and when I heard about the secret meetings that New England’s electric companies had about us, it felt both exhilarating and ominous. We left Boston before the authorities could strike (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#middlesex), but I didn’t realize that I had jumped from the frying pan into the fire. :)
In Ventura, I was introduced to conspiracist literature for the first time, and was not sure what to make of it. Some of it was in the “seditious literature (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page4?p=662&viewfull=1#post662)” folder that was seized in the raid. The conspiracist literature began to make a lot more sense over the next year. :) A year after the raid, when Dennis was in solitary (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#solitary) and my life was in ruins, I met Gary Wean (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#wean). His book is definitely a conspiracist tome, but it was primarily based on his experiences, not wild imaginings. He was a professional investigator, and you can take his report of the John Tower conversation (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower) to the bank; Oswald was no lone nut.
But, there were events from 1988 that I did not learn about until several years later, such as the CIA’s billion dollar offer to Dennis (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer). When I staggered out of my home town, to never return, I began studying a huge array of material (https://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), and conspiratorial literature was part of it.
This will take more than one post. Stay tuned.

Hi:
By the end of 1988, I had learned my journey’s primary lesson (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708):
Personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity.
We had talented psychopaths sicced on us (1 (https://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 3 (https://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 authorities let them commit their evil deeds at will, and Mr. Deputy even got promoted (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#promotion) because of his. Probably not while he is alive, but I will likely thank Mr. Deputy one day for bringing me to the point of my final awakening (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces), and teaching me the meaning of evil. I may well help him leave his “heaven (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell).” He rendered me a valuable service as he played hit man, although he likely does not see it that way today. As sobering as those moments were, they were not my big surprise. My big surprise was how people were putty in their hands. I watched people supposedly far worldlier than me fall for their charades hook, line, and sinker, as they actively assisted the evil deeds. Their compliance was primarily secured by playing to their self-interest (generally greed (https://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed) or fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming)), and often their naïveté. Naïveté (https://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) is no crime. All of those in my pantheon (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042) began their journeys that way, to one degree or another, we all lost our naïveté honestly, and several of us had plenty of blood on their hands before they woke up, as they played dupes.
The GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1167&viewfull=1#post1167) have plenty to answer for, but the sinless ones can cast the first stones. Many events subsequent to my first stint with Dennis helped develop the views I have today. One of them was that the GCs have dissident factions, and one of them gave my close friend his underground exotic technology show (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173). But that was just one of many events that shaped my views, such as trading notes with Brian (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky). He nearly shrugged his shoulders when I told him about my friend’s show (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Brian was more interested in my relative who was a contract CIA agent (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia).
So, while I was well-acquainted with evil conspiratorial activities, I was always the most impressed by memoirs such as Ralph McGehee’s, as he acknowledged the blood on his hands (https://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon). If we don’t own it, we can’t change it. Early on, as I studied the medical racket, etc., I obtained Ralph Epperson’s The Unseen Hand, which is a conspiratorial world history. On Ralph’s site today (http://ralphepperson.com/), he published a Hawaiian newspaper from the week before Pearl Harbor, attached, which expected the Japanese to attack that weekend. I am onboard with the idea that the USA deliberately goaded Japan into attacking the USA’s colonies, to manipulate the isolationist American public into World War II, and FDR well knew what was coming. It has been a standard American MO since the 1800s (https://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#pearl).
In The Unseen Hand, Ralph called the American cancer racket (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket) a big conspiracy. Well, in a way it is, but that stance absolves the mass of Americans from their complicity (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings), which has been amazing to witness. The way I see it, 1% conspiracy and 99% complicity explains the cancer racket. From what I have seen, conspiracists make the conspirators into just one more outgroup (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1), some “bad actors” who just need to be taken out, and then all is well. That is the primary delusion of the far right, and it is the victim’s view of the world (the “left” has the victim’s view (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), too, so I am not really picking on conspiracists). Conspiracists boo the villains and cheer the heroes. Except they don’t really know who the villains are, and in the case of QAnon, an outright fantasy turned Trump into a white knight on a steed, to vanquish the satanic pedophiles of the so-called Deep State. The dark path is dark indeed, and nothing would surprise me on how dark it can get. But, by now, I think that the entire QAnon phenomenon can be called the adult equivalent of waiting for Santa to come down the chimney.
But I will backtrack to a chronological account of how I developed my views on conspiratorial issues and conspiracism.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
When I hit the books in 1990 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739), some of what I studied could be conspiratorial topics, at least nominally. There were certainly conspiratorial aspects of the medical racket, but I never saw it as one big conspiracy. When the government and media attack tried to put my medical lab employer out of business (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience), it was reminiscent, in ways, of how our companies were taken out in Seattle (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run) and Ventura (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), which were much more conspiratorial, with hit men sicced on us (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2643&viewfull=1#post2643), etc. Years later, there was definitely a conspiratorial effort to have Dennis killed in prison, which nearly worked (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes). Global interests took us out, as that CIA man with the billion dollar offer from “European interests (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer)” made clear. We will never know how much cooperation was happening behind the scenes, but what blew me away was how my boss helped engineer the theft of our company, while the employees cheered (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604). How I was attacked by friends and family was the worst part of all, and what woke me up, more than anything else. The enemy is us (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#attacks). By the time I heard that my mother was campaigning against me (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492), with her scrapbook tour of the libelous newspaper clippings, telling the story of her son the criminal, it didn’t even hurt any longer.
With that medical lab, it was definitely not run as professionally as a corporate conglomerate would have done it, the owner was black, the media is happy to parrot government lies, as I was about to learn from Noam and Ed (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday), and there was certainly “selective enforcement” against my lab, but a big conspiracy hatched in some smoke-filled room to take out that lab? I doubt it. With Dennis’s efforts, there certainly were smoke-filled rooms, as we heard about all too often, but even then, it was 1% conspiracy and 99% complicity.
Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing) is kind of the opposite of a conspiracy theory, showing how institutional forces shape the “news” in the mainstream media. To this day, there has never been a credible challenge to its validity. Money talks in the USA, and the media serves the interests of the USA’s ruling class. What is hard to understand about that? As Noam says, there is no such thing as a “capitalist democracy,” as that is a contradiction in terms. The USA’s economic system is as totalitarian in its way as the Soviet Union’s was, which Dennis and I discovered the hard way.
Studying the contrast of Ralph Moss’s structural analysis (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#moss) versus Eustace Mullins’s conspiracist approach (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#capone) can be educational, and helps illuminate different facets of the dynamic. I find it hard to believe that Morris Fishbein was stupid enough (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fishbein1) to not realize that he was promoting the single greatest cause of cancer while trying to monopolize its treatments, and that both activities were merely a happy coincidence. That seems like quite a stretch to believe that Fishbein was not conscious of what he was doing, but I have seen Moss pass it off like that.
Gary is in my pantheon (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042), and his advice (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#wean) was instrumental in my springing Dennis from jail (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage), in the biggest miracle that I ever witnessed. You can take Gary’s reporting of the John Tower conversation (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower) to the bank. Gary reported it as accurately as he could. After reading Gary’s account in January 1989, I spent the next dozen years, on and off, looking into the JFK hit evidence (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#assess). I never saw a credible piece of evidence contradict Gary’s tale, and new evidence regularly appeared which only confirmed it, such as the Operation Northwoods document (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#northwoods). I have presented my opinion that the hit came from the Eastern Oligarchy, from the Rockefeller side of the house (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1404&viewfull=1#post1404), but who did it is not as important to me as the idea that the Warren Commission was a whitewash from the start, particularly as Rockefeller fixer Allen Dulles (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles) ran it. IMO, the office of the American president was permanently demoted with JFK’s murder (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186), and David Rockefeller (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) handpicked every president since then, until his death, although I am sure that somebody is still minding that store. The American presidency, and all retail politics, is just for show, to provide the illusion of democracy, similar to how the media provides the illusion of a diligent, power-challenging, free press. But like with the media, relatively few people in the retail political system have any idea how it all really works. They have a vested interest in believing in the illusion. Again, it is 1% conspiracy and 99% complicity.
The GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are real and vigilant, but they don’t have to micromanage the situation. They only need to control key leverage points, and free energy is the big one, which is kept under wraps with the ET issue (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spacemining), and the rest kind of takes care of itself, as people fight over the scraps of systems based on scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). The masses do most of the GCs’ dirty work, gratis, which was my journey’s primary lesson (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2643&viewfull=1#post2643). The GCs’ ranks are also fractured, to the point where a dissident faction was able to give my friend a little show (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground).
Most of what I learned in those early days of study was not about conspiracies, but about how what I was taught while young was mostly a pack of lies (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm), but my teachers believed it, too. Or, at least, they went through the motions, knowing that promoting the myths was how they kept their jobs. I saw some cynical observations in my last years of college from my professors, and what they hinted at did not become clear until several years into my career (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting). But I wonder how much even they understood how rotten the system really was.
So, I read Epperson’s book (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2643&viewfull=1#post2643) and The Spotlight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spotlight), but what most impressed me was the work of Noam (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), Ed (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm), Ralph (https://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), Howard (https://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), Stannard (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis?p=2172&viewfull=1#post2172), and the like. The structural aspects of how our system works are far more interesting and explanatory than conspiracy theories. It is actually pretty easy to select a few facts from a pile of them and construct conspiracy theories. What is far harder is constructing a hypothesis that can be tested (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories), such as how scientists ideally work.
I’ll allow that conspiracy theories have a certain attraction, which can be titillating, but they rarely hold up to scrutiny. During my World War II studies, I studied the conspiracist literature that argued that the Jewish Holocaust never happened (https://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#holocaust). It can appear superficially plausible, until you do your homework. Then, the shabby aspect of that conspiracy theory becomes evident. I have to wonder how many of those constructions were knowingly fraudulent, and how much was just people being sucked into the echo chamber, failing to develop any discernment, etc. Gary got sucked in, and I understand how it happened. Being targeted by Jewish gangsters can do that to people.
Early in my studies, I looked into the Moon landings, to see what might have been covered up (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#neutral), and got sucked into looking into the idea (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#apollo) of whether they were faked. I spent months of my life looking into it, before realizing that the faked Moon landings issue rested on very thin “evidence.” But until I did the dive, I could not know for sure. In the end, I am happy that I did it, as it was an educational process.
So, I saw conspiracy theories come and go. Some were describing real aspects of our world, while more was in the realm of paranoid fantasy, seeing patterns where none really existed. The entire issue of conspiracies can be perilous to engage, and Brian’s life was shortened, courtesy of the American military, when he snooped into the UFO issue (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847). The spooks are real (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/115-The-Spooks?p=1257&viewfull=1#post1257), and their methods can be deadly. Brian was afraid until his life’s end that if we went public with what happened, that the spooks would finish the job. The closest that he ever came to disclosing it was in the prologue of his last book (https://ahealedplanet.net/synopsis.htm#naive). Brian had his own stalker, wherever he appeared publicly, and the debunkers had a field day with Brian. However, I was on the receiving end of one of the leading space debunkers, who brags of his spook connections to his debunking targets, and his “debunking” of Brian’s Martian credentials (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/110-Brian-O-Leary-Mars-and-the-Moon?p=1213&viewfull=1#post1213) was one of the most idiotic exercises that I ever witnessed. There is definitely a conspiratorial, criminal aspect of organized skepticism (https://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#criminal), but most “skeptics” are merely religious zealots for the scientific establishment, like Dominican inquisitors. I am always reluctant to attribute to conspiracy what is more easily explained by low integrity and stupidity. Conspiracy theories should be the last resort, not the first.
My friend’s little show happened during my early years of study, and that voice in my head let me know that far more than meets the eye happens in our world, but around the time I signed up with Dennis again in 1996, and nearly went to prison (https://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting) for my troubles, I started to become aware of what I’ll call New Age conspiracism. It combined supposed mystical stuff with conspiracies. The problem with the mystical stuff and conspiracies is that hard evidence is not easy to come by. The billion dollar offer to Dennis would not be in writing, and the theft of Mr. Researcher’s documents (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#espionage) in the raid did not leave a paper trail, by design, even though Mr. Researcher testified to witnessing the theft. I produced and witnessed (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#research) far too much “paranormal” activity to ever doubt that it wasn’t real. Brian advocated scientific testing of paranormal phenomena (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#frontiers), and there has been a great deal of scientific investigation of paranormal phenomena since the 19th century, by Nobel laureates and the like, who unequivocally stated that the phenomena was real, although you would never know it if all you had read were debunker works.
But New Age conspiracism was a different animal. It could purport to be “channeled,” described what was happening in the smoke-filled rooms, and I have been hearing for 25 years on how the agents of light defeated the dark, and that ET disclosure, the unveiling of exotic technologies, and an Epoch of peace, plenty, and global healing was right around the corner. I began hearing about NESARA and the secret plans. And, increasingly, the material made very specific predictions on what would happen and when. And they never happened. In science, when hypotheses fail to predict experimental results, they go into the bin of failed hypotheses and theories. They usually don’t immediately go there, as initially they may attribute the results to experimental error, or they try to patch up the hypothesis to account for the results, but, in general, hypotheses that continually fail to predict the results that they call for are discarded. The history of science is filled with discarded hypotheses, although not always fairly (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/155-Receiving-a-Fair-Hearing?p=2598&viewfull=1#post2598), and there are conspiratorial aspects of some of it, on the key issues.
The New Age conspiracist crowd, however, is not dissuaded by countless specific predictions that fail to materialize. By now, I have probably seen 100 announcements by New Age conspiracists that on specific dates events would happen, generally along the lines of the “white hats’ (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623)” defeat of the “black hats,” with the ETs on the White House lawn and the rest of it. It has not happened yet, and at what point do those people lose their credibility? Just since the November elections, at least a half dozen magic dates have come and gone, when Trump would pull a rabbit out of his hat as he vanquished the forces of darkness. What made those fantasies rather scary and disgusting is that firing squads supposedly would accompany the victory, something like what Flagg’s crew in The Stand would do. How could anybody even want to believe stuff like that? It was all fantasy, paranoia, and vengeance – certainly not of the “light.”
I have seen an endless parade of such people over the past generation, but it really went into overdrive with the Trump the Hero meme, and the QAnon conspiracy theory (https://www.dailydot.com/debug/qanon-the-storm/). In recent days, with Trump now gone from the White House, that gang (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611) has not missed a beat, and I just saw more breathless reports on why it didn’t happen, but that magic day is just around the corner (1 (https://phibetaiota.net/2021/01/video-3632-simon-parkes-21-january-2021-update/), 2 (https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-01-21-situation-update-jan-21-astonishing-case-for-optimism-and-faith.html)). At least some of the QAnon faithful are beginning to wake up (1 (https://www.yahoo.com/news/m-puke-qanon-chaos-biden-183904690.html), 2 (https://slate.com/technology/2021/01/how-qanon-believers-reacted-to-the-biden-inauguration-hint-not-so-well.html)), like a child who learns that Santa is not coming down the chimney after all. At what point do those conspiracist talking heads admit that either they have been making it up as they go, or that they have been taken for a ride by their “sources,” and the like? From what I have seen, they never will, but will keep spinning this stuff to their graves, and like the Flat Earth society (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth), there will always be a tabloid-reading crowd that will lap it up, no questions asked.
Why do I devote any time to this drivel? Well, because they are making my work harder, by muddying the waters. Some of them talk up free energy, others get into UFOs, but it is all at the New Age conspiracist tabloid level, and like with the JFK hit and similar topics (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#jfk), the circus serves to discredit the entire topics among the level-headed, if uninformed. I am getting tarred with that brush, and time is short to right humanity’s ship (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).
These are strange, perilous times, and people are going insane all over the place.
I plan to leave this topic for now, but might revisit it periodically.

Hi:
As a brief coda to my recent conspiracist posts (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2642&viewfull=1#post2642), this Trump the Hero meme is not just nutter stuff, but people have died over it, crimes have been committed (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/15/qanon-violence-crimes-timeline), even before the January 6th insanity (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2624&viewfull=1#post2624).
That is all bad enough, but it is just a more virulent strain of disinformation that encourages people to be spectators or criminals. The combined positive intention (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) that Brian wrote about (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Brian_O'Leary#The_Energy_Solution_Revolution,_2009) is nowhere in evidence.
It is not lost on me that Steele and Parkes have spook backgrounds. If this was intended from the start to muddy the waters, I am not sure what would have been more successful.
Both the right and the left have ideological commitments that help lock them into the victim mentality (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), not a creator’s. Victims live in fear, and creators create with love. That is really the crux of the matter. The people I seek have to have whole hearts (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), for starters, and the rest really is noise.

Hi:
Back to those “philanthropists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2639&viewfull=1#post2639).” I think that what Greer reported (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1217&viewfull=1#post1217) kind of sums it up. He mentioned giving a talk in LA to about a hundred people, and ten of them were billionaires. None of them were there to really help Greer, but were sniffing around for opportunities. That neatly aligns with Dennis’s experiences, too.
A few months after becoming Dennis’s partner (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614), I met my first billionaire, an Amway billionaire that Mr. Stooge (https://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) brought by our office. I see that he died in 2019 (https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/charlotte/obituary.aspx?pid=191230147), so I’ll name him: Dexter Yager. Dexter used to be notable enough for his own Wikipedia bio, but that has been erased. But, he shows up in the Amway article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amway#Religion) a few times. He is the second-ranked all-time Amway distributor in this list (https://onlinemlmcommunity.com/the-top-27-amway-diamond-ibo-top-earner-success-story-distributors-of-all-time/).
Dexter was nice enough, but he was there to sniff out opportunities. The entire Amway chapter of my adventures is kind of strange. I am not a Christian, much less a fanatical one like Dennis is, and I could not care less about the “Patriot” movement that Dennis was prominent in for a while (https://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel). An American “patriot” sure would not write something like this (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm).
I was always with Dennis in spite of that stuff, not because of it. But I became very familiar with the right-wing, Christian, “patriot” mentality, which Reagan, Bush, Trump, and others have exploited over the years. They largely hail from the conspiracist (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=75&viewfull=1#post75) end of the political spectrum. The structuralist perspective can be just as lopsided (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), going the other way. Conspiracies either explain all of it or none of it, at those two poles.
Brian encountered billionaire “philanthropists” from the “left,” and he got educated early on about how free energy “philanthropists” were essentially vulture capitalists (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#oleary), waiting for the right moment to swoop in and commandeer the effort with a minimum of expense and exertion (I call it Level 11 (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level11), in my free energy awareness framework). Really, what else should we expect? They didn’t become billionaires through being big-hearted nice guys, but because they prevailed in the capitalist shark tank, although I will allow that high-tech billionaires often did it a bit more innocently than John D. Rockefeller (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1) did, whose competitors could come to untimely and “tragic” ends, their refineries could be destroyed by “mysterious” explosions, and the like. The Rockefeller tale is a grim one, David Rockefeller (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) was minding the store clear into his 90s, was JFK’s public policy adversary (see Battling Wall Street (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/868871.Battling_Wall_Street)), and was likely involved in JFK’s murder (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1429&viewfull=1#post1429) at some level. David’s calling Dennis at home meant that he was well-apprised of Dennis’s efforts. Dennis probably did more than anybody else to publicize the idea of free energy, particularly during his barnstorming tours in 1996 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page9?p=803&viewfull=1#post803).
As with Greer, Dennis was swarmed with billionaires when he was riding high, but I believe that none of them helped. I heard of big talk from them, but they never delivered that I heard of.
I mention these billionaires to give an idea of what free energy awareness is among the billionaire crowd. I have a hard time believing that Gates, Musk, Bezos, and that gang are not at least familiar with the idea and aware of the efforts made and their fates. I don’t really follow it much, but I doubt that any of them have made any public statements on the idea of free energy. I have no idea of how aware any of them are, but if they are ignorant of the idea of free energy and the idea of its organized suppression (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), they are ignorant indeed. Many conspiracists think that Gates is in it up to his eyeballs, as a point man for the NWO. I doubt it, but I also doubt that he is ignorant of the free energy issue. He has also styled himself as an energy guru (https://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates), and his “solution” is “safe” fission. He is probably the last person on Earth that I would ever approach on the free energy issue, but free energy newcomers almost always think that the “philanthropists” are the key to free energy (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich). That is a beginner’s delusion that free energy aspirants need to overcome early in their efforts, if they want to be the least bit productive.
If a billionaire became genuinely interested in helping, he/she would soon be dissuaded, by both subtle and not-so-subtle (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#windmill) means. It is very seductive to think that some rich benefactor can cut the big check and we all go to Oz together, but it won’t happen that way. It is just one more way to give away our power, beseeching the rich and powerful (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1) is common among free energy aspirants, I have never seen one of those efforts pan out, and it can be suicidal to play that game.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As I bring some color to those paths to free energy that have not worked (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) and are not likely to, I plan to go down the list fairly linearly, but we’ll see. The very idea of a patent is a capitalist construct, giving the supposed inventor a monopoly over the invention for a period of time, which is now 20 years in the USA. In a world of scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), the idea makes some sense, but in practice, patents are worthless for individual inventors (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent), in a number of ways. Before we even get to free energy technology, American inventors who got rich off of their inventions, just because they invented it, can probably be counted on one or two hands. An inventor’s getting a patent, and then the magic of capitalism making him/her rich, only happens in Hollywood movies. If they got rich, it was because they had business acumen, or their allies did, to take that pig to market. If the invention was going to displace an entrenched market participant, about the best they could hope for was being bought out.
Mr. Inventor actually stole patents for General Motors (https://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), but it was several years before he realized what he was really doing, and in his later years, he still respected GM, like somebody might respect Genghis Kahn. The inventor of the motion picture, which would have displaced Edison’s work, simply disappeared from a train (https://fstoppers.com/originals/mysterious-disappearance-louis-le-prince-father-cinematography-156151) and was never seen again. Many inventors came to untimely ends when it came to energy innovations, or had their lives wrecked, and I am not even referring to free energy yet.
A relative was recently in a college class on inventing, and one class theme was that inventors very rarely profited from their inventions. Of the many ways that happens, one is that to get developed, the inventor goes looking for money, and almost always, between the inventor and the marketplace, the inventor will lose control of the invention to the money people. There are companies that specialize on that angle.
Mr. Mentor had several patents, some for major inventions (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#introduction), and they were all suppressed, stolen, or both, such as with his engine (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). I grew up hearing story after story of screwed-over inventors, usually by corporate America. One was how an inventor of something like the differential gear in cars had it stolen by Detroit, and actually prevailed in court, at least initially. That happened around the 1930s. Then Detroit sicced teams of lawyers on it, with endless appeals. When the inventor finally died in the 1960s, as the appeals process kept grinding on, Detroit finally offered to settle with the inventor’s widow for a nominal sum. That is what happens when you “win.”
The only time that I ever heard of an inventor actually prevailing was when Sears stole the invention of the locking ratchet wrench. It is a famous case (https://beemlaw.com/sears-roberts-ratchet-wrench-patent-case/). Maybe there are some others, but I don’t pay attention to that stuff. Sears was legendary for inviting in inventors to show their wares, then they handed them off to somebody like Mr. Inventor, to engineer a way around any patents that might exist, and the inventors were screwed. That was standard operating procedure for Sears.
And that is just for “normal” inventing. When it comes to potentially disruptive energy innovations, the game gets cranked up by a few orders of magnitude.
For starters, I don’t think that a true free energy patent has ever been issued, which was not immediately placed under the national security cloak, which means that it disappears from public view, maybe forever. Generally, free energy patents are denied outright, under the “laws of physics” objection, so it is declared impossible at the outset, end of story. If they get further down the path, then the government can simply classify it, and thousands of American patents today are classified. I have heard that energy-technology patents are a significant fraction of those classified patents. Mr. Mentor told me that the officials who could sign the classification orders weren’t that high in the military hierarchy, like maybe at the bird colonel level. Whatever that level is, it does not take much palm-greasing to make it happen. And the inventor is almost never fairly compensated for that seizure.
In Ventura, before we got the boom lowered on us (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and were a mecca for inventors, one inventor approached us with a revolutionary engine, and he engaged in an epic legal battle with the military, which wanted to classify it. Not many inventors are going to do that. Usually, it is classified and it is game over.
Mr. Mentor got some education when he invented a vapor-injection carburetor, to only discover that corporate America already owned dozens of vapor-injection patents (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carb1), and the one that Ron Waugh investigated (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carb) was likely on that list. Dennis is just the latest fool to play that game (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888).
Going the patent route for free energy inventions is so foolish and suicidal that I try to ignore it. When I hear breathless announcements of the inventor-of-the-hour who “has it!”, I have to shake my head. That kind of gossip is rife in the field. At my Avalon thread, you can see people promoting Keshe and Rossi, who are some recent aspirants. Keshe announced that he was the Messiah (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and he is far from the first to go megalomaniac in this field, and Rossi seems to be an outright con man, but I have not dug into it.
If a free inventor really has the goods (which is rare, as less than 5% of them ever come up with something with real potential), the GCs’ radar is keen enough to pick up on them, and then their bag of tricks is brought to bear (https://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic). My guess is that the good stuff never gets close to the patent office, but is sequestered long before then. The “lucky” inventors got the golden handcuffs, while the unluckiest had their lives shortened (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). That $100 billion in quiet money (https://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff) that the GCs had already paid out 30 years ago (it is likely more than double that today) was for stuff that never made it to the patent office.
So, the patent route is foolish at best, for lone inventors (patents generally only protect corporations from each other, and even then, it can be a battle that is rarely won), and is suicidal for free energy inventors. It is like nobody ever learns, as inventors keep sallying forth, with dreams of riches and fame. This is a key part of the field’s arrested development (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1217&viewfull=1#post1217). Those inventors have what I call Level 6 awareness (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level6), and many lives have been wasted there.
Best,
Wade

I recently had an insight.
Wade you stated that part of the reason to write your essay is to help people imagine what a FE society could look like.
My idea revolves around the pictures/visions people hold in their head and that by holding them here they feed them energy (basic assumption that I’m making here)
Let’s say 1984 and Brave New World were not gentle warnings, but actually images put out into our space so people contemplate them, feed them with energy and voila nowadays parts of them have properly materialized.
So what should we do? Find visionaries like Wade, send a gang of different artists to them and have the artists translate their envisioned grand future of the planet into their different channels of expression. Then bring these different artworks/visions in all their shapes and forms onto the radar of enough people to feed them with good energy and help them materialize and or realize faster.

Hi:
I don’t want to pick on the “philanthropists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2639&viewfull=1#post2639)” too much, but looking to them to save our bacon is just one more complacent delusion. I am currently reading an iconoclastic book on Gandhi’s’ years on South Africa (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26881619-the-south-african-gandhi). I’ll report on it soon. Gandhi was no saint, but he also took on history’s greatest empire to that time, and was murdered for his trouble. You could do a lot worse than Gandhi as an icon, but my point here is that how much can we expect rapacious capitalists to suddenly grow big hearts after they amassed their often-bloody fortunes?
This will be a Bill Gates post. We are both Seattle natives, he is three years older than me, and while I pursue the biggest event in the human journey (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), he is doing something else. In early 1986, I had no idea who Gates was, but the month that I met Dennis, after that voice talked to me (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), I was interested in working for Microsoft. During the previous year, I used Microsoft software in my day job, liked it, and was interested in working for them. By far, my greatest professional skill is system design (https://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes), and I think that I could have landed a job with Microsoft, but that voice had other plans for me. Microsoft had its IPO the month that I met Dennis. Of course, if I had gone that route, I would have retired long ago, but I also would not have gone on my odyssey (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601). I am happy that I took the route I did, for all of its agonies. It woke me up (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765) and led to my work today. Maybe I can make a sizeable dent (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).
While I was becoming Dennis’s partner (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614), Gates achieved billionaire status, met his future wife, who got him into “philanthropy,” and I would soon have my life ruined (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr). I moved back home to Seattle in 1997, just as the dot.com boom happened, but I was busy doing the research and writing for my site. By that time, I had passed up at least $1 million four different times to walk my path. I live across the street from Microsoft’s headquarters (and had a chance to become Gates’s neighbor nearly ten years ago), stood in the popcorn line behind Gates (https://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates) once, and with my energy racket (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm) and medical racket (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm) writings, it has been ironic indeed to watch Gates get into medicine and energy as a “philanthropist,” similar to how John Rockefeller did it (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1), whom Gates literally modeled himself after. We had a few Rockefeller encounters, as they wiped out our efforts (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888).
There have been many events and themes in my life in which I can tell that my “friends” have had a hand in it, and this Bill Gates issue is one of them. Oh, the Bill Gates stories I have heard over the years. You would not want him over to dinner, and he definitely was not “Citizen Bill” before he began his “philanthropy,” and it has unsurprisingly been very similar to John Rockefeller’s brand of philanthropy.
That Gates palled around with this rogues’ gallery (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2184&viewfull=1#post2184), and sings the praises of arguably the greatest living mass murderer (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#kagame), kind of says it all about him and his “humanitarian” efforts. As I began this post with, Gates was legendary for his ruthlessness, similar to Rockefeller, and to expect him to wake up and grow a big heart is asking too much of him. I am all for people’s waking up (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765), but Gates has yet to do so, and I doubt that it will happen in this lifetime.
To his credit, and similar to Rockefeller, Gates lives a relatively humble life, for somebody who has been either the world’s richest man or in the top five since 1995. Back in the late 1990s, Gates was treated like royalty wherever he went.
When I lived in Boston, the Kennedys were considered American royalty, and I worked for them the day before I became Dennis’s partner. A couple of months after becoming Dennis’s partner, we got a call from Joe Kennedy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_P._Kennedy_II), Bobby’s son, who called our office (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=629&viewfull=1#post629) to call Dennis an “a**hole.” You might say that I was not too high on the Kennedys about then. Less than two years later, I learned from the horse’s mouth that Oswald was no lone nut (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower), and IMO, JFK was taken out by the Eastern Oligarchy, as he was not playing enough capitalist-imperialist ball for their liking, and the Rockefellers were likely involved. So, I became more sympathetic to the Kennedys, although Noam has been on their case from the beginning, and wrote a book to deny that the CIA would have been involved, when it most certainly was (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big).
Well, call me surprised, but Joe’s younger brother, Robert, Jr. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr.), has been making a positive impression with me lately. I am happy to see a Kennedy taking on the big interests that he is. In that way, he is like his uncle. He has been calling out Gates’s game a lot in the past year, and it is refreshing to see. I first wrote about vaccinations (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#vaccination) about 20 years ago, and it has been a posting theme of mine for the past several years (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184). Vaccination has not been demonstrated to be either safe or effective, it cannot receive credit for vanquishing any disease, and the American vaccination frenzy in my lifetime, especially for mild childhood diseases that trained my immune system (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2511&viewfull=1#post2511), is very likely a key cause of the incredible rise in autoimmune diseases and other conditions such as autism. In these pandemic days, the vaccination arm of the medical racket is more apparent than ever, and Robert, Jr., has been on the warpath. He has been calling out the vaccination science, only using peer-reviewed medical literature, and he has really been on Gates’s case. Anthony Fauci, like Gates, has some amazing conflicts of interest, as he evangelizes for vaccines that he will profit from (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/niaid-contract-pentagon-modernas-covid-vaccine/), just like Gates will (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/bill-gates-fortune-grows-ties-vaccine-makers/). As of December, in our surreal economic system, Gates became $20 billion richer during the pandemic (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/american-billionaires-another-1-trillion-since-pandemic/), as the rich keep getting richer (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rich-getting-richer-poor-getting-poorer-new-data/). Even some Wall Street cheerleaders have taken in the surreal issue of the stock market’s skyrocketing during the pandemic and openly wondered if it is a symptom of a broken economic system (https://www.nbcnews.com/business/markets/why-wall-street-soaring-while-main-street-burning-n1223506).
Robert, Jr., has stated that Gates seems to have some kind of messiah complex today (https://fort-russ.com/2020/04/robert-f-kennedy-jr-exposes-bill-gates-vaccine-dictatorship-plan-cites-gates-twisted-messiah-complex/), with his vaccination evangelizing. Robert, Jr.’s, stance has created friction in his family (https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/05/08/robert-kennedy-jr-measles-vaccines-226798), and he has defended himself from the more libelous accusations (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/npr-terry-gross-fresh-air-covid-vaccines/). Gates is WHO’s biggest funder, and it has engaged in novel redefining of diseases and immunity (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/violating-science-who-changes-meaning-herd-immunity/), to sing Gates’s song of universal vaccination. Gates has promoted Big Brother for vaccinations (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/yes-bill-gates-said-that/), and his investments in surveillance technology are ominous. Not that I am big into credentials, but Gates’s only credential to be a public voice on vaccinations (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/why-are-we-listening-to-bill-gates/) is his money, and the media always bows to money (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday). WHO literally hired Hill + Knowlton (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/who-anti-conspiracy-covid-vaccine/), which is infamous for fabricating Iraqi atrocities (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#incubator), to get the war drums beating. Hiring a firm directly complicit in genocide (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#continuing) is no surprise, for a “public health” organization that Gates dominates.
In my studies of capitalistic greed and megalomania, what observers have noted is that once the bloody fortunes are amassed, then the goal becomes social engineering, to exert their power. Rockefeller did it, as Gates is. Gates has not only branched out into medicine and energy, but he is now the largest owner of farmland in the USA, as he brings his technocratic approach to food production (1 (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-global-agriculture/), 2 (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-ag-one-enrich-corporations/), 3 (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-gates-technology-will-not-save-food-system/)). Kennedy, Jr.’s, organization has warned that Gates’s “philanthropic” empire threatens life on Earth (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-global-empire-threatens-life/).
Personally, I believe that Gates is quite a ways down the food chain (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186) of power on Earth. As I recently wrote (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2646&viewfull=1#post2646), Gates and the retail elite are ignorant indeed, if they don’t at least suspect that they are relatively bit players in Earth’s power structure. There is little in the “vision” of Gates and the other philanthropist-visionaries, such as Musk and Bezos, which will have any place in the Fifth Epoch. This (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is visionary, and the technologies to manifest that potential future are likely older than I am (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). A key aspect of my surreal journey is watching how almost everybody does their best to ignore or deny that reality (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level1).
So, I don’t really want to pick on Gates too much, as his brand of “philanthropy” is very old and he has plenty of company, and I recently was put in the position of defending him (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/145-The-Coronavirus-Pandemic?p=2224&viewfull=1#post2224) from the tabloid conspiracists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611).
That is enough on Gates for now.

Hi Wegge (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1406980&viewfull=1#post1406980):
Yes, we get what we concentrate on. :) Melinda is doing what you are suggesting, on the Future Earth thread, as she most recently did, here (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=1358137&viewfull=1#post1358137). That is very good work.
As I have long stated, just making the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) imaginable has been my goal (https://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#imagine). Or, at least, that is a necessary first step. If we can’t imagine it, we certainly cannot pursue it. My efforts will soon become a little more multimedia, with a YouTube channel, and the visual arts can certainly play a big role in this effort. Heck, maybe there will be a song or two one day. :)
I encourage you to keep thinking along those lines, and I’ll be interested to hear what you have to say.

Hi:
Yesterday, I finished an iconoclastic book on Gandhi’s early years of political activism in what became South Africa (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26881619-the-south-african-gandhi). Similar to how I take on the USA’s Founding Father myths (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers), following in the footsteps of people such as Howard Zinn (https://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), that incipient trend in India is a healthy one, IMO. This Gandhi iconoclasm is not a new subject for me (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/30-Chapter-21-Humanity%C2%92s-Fourth-Epochal-Event-The-Industrial-Revolution?p=2236&viewfull=1#post2236), and I just bought Arundhati Roy’s book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31945021-the-doctor-and-the-saint) on the subject of Gandhi’s political work and that of his chief political rival, B.R. Ambedkar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._R._Ambedkar). There is even an Indian play (https://sonublogs.blogspot.com/2009/10/ambedkar-aur-ghandhi.html) on their rivalry (https://www.speakingtree.in/blog/dr-ambedkar-vs-mahatma-gandhi).
Just as it was my duty to take on the myths I was raised with (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm), and the false icons (https://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms), it will be the duty of Indians to dismantle the myth-making around Gandhi, some of it by Gandhi himself.
What came through clearly in that Gandhi book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26881619-the-south-african-gandhi) is that in what became South Africa, Gandhi was advocating for his merchant caste, to achieve the status of British subjects, similar to that of white Canadians, but definitely subservient to the whites who ruled India. The racist British were not going to allow that, although Gandhi tried using the Aryan angle in arguing for the nobility of his caste. It is very clear that Gandhi did not make common cause with the low Indian castes in South Africa (indentured workers, in a form of slavery), much less the Africans themselves, who were being dispossessed by the Boers and British. Gandhi’s racism and servility to the British Empire was often cringeworthy.
I have spent more than the past 30 years studying genocides, dispossessions, and enslavements, but even I was a bit shocked by what the British did in what became South Africa. I was well aware of British racist brutality, but it was grim reading on how the British treated their subjects in southern Africa in the early 20th century, when the British were at their imperial peak. Winston Churchill called the British colony in southern Africa a disgrace to the Empire, and it was easy to see why.
In the Zulu uprising (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambatha_Rebellion#:~:text=The%20Bambatha%20Rebellion%20%28or%20the%20Zulu%20Rebellion%29%20of,taxat ion%20in%20the%20Colony%20of%20Natal%2C%20South%20Africa.), it was spears against artillery and machine guns, and the British gave no quarter. The British had previously put down the Boers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Boer_War) with genocidal brutality, but quickly made common cause with them in the war’s aftermath, to keep southern African dominated by whites, which led to apartheid South Africa.
How the British dispossessed the Africans, to force them into the gold and diamond mines, was similar to how English peasants were dispossessed (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gamelaw) and forced into the coal mines several centuries earlier, and became the first workforce of the Industrial Revolution. The British even brought in cheap Chinese peasants to do the hard work, and shipped them back to China when they were finished. It was a capitalist form of slavery. They even brought in British men to work the coal mines, who had a militant strike that was brutally put down, similar to the Ludlow Massacre (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_Massacre) in the USA the next year.
But, back to Gandhi and Ambedkar, in what I have read about their views so far, and an Indian agreed with me, Gandhi was a man of the Third Epoch, and Ambedkar the Fourth (although he did not forsake organized religion; his “radicalism” on that score was becoming a Buddhist). Gandhi wanted a village form of political economy and sought to keep the castes intact, while Ambedkar advocated industrialization and the destruction of the castes. Ambedkar advocated for women’s rights, while Gandhi did not. Gandhi was a better political organizer, however.
I think that my Epochal framework (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) helps illuminate issues such as these. Even though Gandhi was taking on history’s greatest empire to its time, and the last empire to call itself one (the USA’s ruling class prefers the fiction that it is not one (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection)), he was still a man of his Epoch, even though he was an anglophile, like Nehru was. The British forcibly prevented India from industrializing (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#bengal), which can still be seen today, as 300 million Indians don’t have access to electricity, for the largest such group on Earth. The way I see it, China is ahead of India largely because it was not raped by Europe for as long: about one century for China compared to nearly two centuries for the subcontinent.
While I can appreciate the iconoclasm about Gandhi, I also don’t know of another politician with his credentials. Mandela (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Mandela) could be considered close, and he lauded Gandhi’s work in southern Africa, but even he seemed to be seduced by the myth. Although he did not invent many of his tactics, Gandhi gets high marks for his non-violent campaigns in India (it inspired Martin Luther King, Jr.), he spent many years behind bars, and was murdered for his trouble. I’ll take him over any of the USA’s Founding Fathers, but like it or not, Gandhi was a politician (a lawyer (https://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#law) by training), with the unsavory ramifications of that career path.
Anyway, that was an interesting tangent, and we’ll see how much of it makes it into my essays.
Best,

Hi:
Briefly, before I begin what I hope is a productive day, working on my essay revision, to my previous post (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/34-History?p=2650&viewfull=1#post2650) on Gandhi’s obsequious days in southern Africa, very few people awaken to any extent in their lifetimes. They are almost always creatures of their conditioning, and in a world of scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), that means conditioned to survive. Nearly everybody finds their survival niche, won’t budge until their deaths, and that was much more pronounced in the agrarian Epoch, when being at the bottom often meant a horrific, short life. So, the masses had great ideological barriers against losing their positions, which generally meant their in-group status (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). As Roads’s mentor said, the way to awakening is to choose love (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=673081&viewfull=1#post673081), which is far harder to do on the brink of survival.
As I have written plenty, as the energy surplus increased with each Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), people could afford to be more humane, and social roles were not as rigid. But even in the supposedly sophisticated and free-thinking Fourth Epoch, people are as brainwashed (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) and stuck in ways as they were in agrarian economies. In other ways, they think a little freer, with the emphasis on “little.” :)
The crazed reactions of denial and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level1) toward the idea of free energy were really something to witness, and it took me many years to finally understand what I was seeing. People are addicted to their survival mechanisms, and I have called it an addiction to scarcity (https://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), but it is perhaps more accurate to say that people are addicted to their survival strategies in a world of scarcity, which includes what they believe. It took me many years to realize that when I talked of free energy and the Epoch of abundance that would be founded on it (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), almost all that people could see was the end of their niche in hell, not becoming a member of heaven. For far more than 99% of the global population today, they won’t even begin to understand until the Fifth Epoch arrives on the back of free energy, and not before (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). I learned to accept that long ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), but I seek that tiny fraction of 1% who have chosen love (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) and are awake (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). Only they can assist an effort like mine (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and they are like needles in haystacks (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle).
Proselytizing for the Fifth Epoch today is dangerous to both the audience and the proselytizer, as it is easy for the proselytizers to be figuratively burned at the stake, and that does no good for the souls of the sleeping, to watch heretics get barbecued. Writing my big essay really helped seat that understanding for me, as nobody ever imagined the next Epoch before it happened (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). So, today’s masses are typical in that regard, even though we do have some visions of what the Fifth Epoch can look like (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions), and I’ll take Roads’s heavenly visit (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) over Star Trek, any day, even though Star Trek has always been extraordinary for its time.
Stay safe! :)

Wade

Ha!
My wife had me perform an errand, other distractions crept up, and I didn’t get any work done today on my big essay! I am going to have to make some changes to get refocused. So, the posting will slow down again. But, before I do, here is another on what has not worked and likely won’t (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/159-What-Has-Not-Worked-and-Why?p=2647&viewfull=1#post2647).
Free energy inventors who seek patents (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent) are defeated before they begin. The slightly worldlier have gone the proprietary technology route (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary), keeping it in the realm of “secret sauce.” It can keep it from being seized under national security laws, but the proprietary technology route is perilous for a number of reasons. One is that private interests are behind suppressing free energy technology, not governments so much. As Bucky said long ago, politicians are “stooges (https://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#economic)” of the economic interests. Every time we got wiped out, it was a government-media alliance doing the bidding of private interests. The CIA man who delivered the billion dollar offer (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) was only an errand boy. The last time Dennis was wiped out, the sitting president’s energy advisor was cheering Dennis on, until David Rockefeller got involved (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888). That the sitting president might be in your corner is meaningless for this game, as he sits way down the food chain (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186).
Sparky Sweet (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) played the proprietary technology game, and his technology died with him. Another problem with the proprietary technology game is that plenty of scoundrels are also in the field, and “secret sauce” technologies can make for wonderful scams, giving the entire field a bad name. Rossi played that game, and his so-called technology seems like a scam, but I am not sure. But the secret sauce game plays right into it.
But if the technology is genuine, the inventor is only protecting himself from the public, as whatever he came up with in his garage was developed to a commercial level (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) long ago. Inventors who play that game end up assisting the suppression of their work, making the GCs’ job a lot easier.
For me, most importantly, going the patent or proprietary technology route has announced the inventor’s self-interest, and the self-interested are defeated almost effortlessly. That the businessman’s path to free energy won’t work was one of my most important lessons from my days with Dennis (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=710&viewfull=1#post710).
The GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are the masters of secrecy, subterfuge, and the like, and if an inventor is trying the proprietary technology route as part of a “sneak past them” strategy, that is suicidal, and I have called that mentality Level 7 (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level7), and those inventors scare me more than those Level 6 (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level6) inventors who apply for patents. Mark tried the “sneak past them” approach, and was rudely disabused of that fantasy (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647).
A free energy inventor trying the proprietary technology route is simply naïve (https://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), and that can be a life-wrecking and life-shortening naïveté.
The entire inventor-businessman route to free energy is fraught with peril, and I will never recommend such an approach. It won’t work in this environment.

Hi:
To continue on my list of what has not worked and why (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), what they all have in common is selfishness or fear or naïveté, ways of giving our power away, and more than anything, a lack of integrity, which was my journey’s primary lesson (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708).
As Noam has stated plenty, capitalist systems can be just as totalitarian as Stalin’s Soviet Union or Mao’s China were, and even more so in ways, but capitalist systems have better propaganda (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday). Noam calls the term “capitalist democracy” a fiction, a contradiction in terms. The capitalist game is rigged to the extreme, as we discovered the hard way (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#steroids), and I long ago decided that no capitalist approach to free energy had a chance (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#money). Capitalist approaches sow the seeds of their own destruction from the outset. Before the GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) even need to roll out of bed, most otherwise viable efforts self-destruct from greed (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greed). And thinking that rich capitalists are going to selflessly help (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich), in their “philanthropy (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2639&viewfull=1#post2639),” is the height of folly. The inventors get megalomania (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) or their “friends” slit their throats to steal it, and it all collapses in a bloodbath, while the GCs look on in amusement, marveling at how easy their job is (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#manage), for the herd’s size. It is the rare effort that needs to have any organized suppression applied (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1).
It has sometimes been incredible to witness the complete lack of discernment in the field (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), the criminality (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2043&viewfull=1#post2043), the naïveté (https://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), the megalomania, and the greed. The entire free energy field has been in a state of arrested development (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/111-The-Free-Energy-Field-s-State-of-Arrested-Development?p=1217&viewfull=1#post1217) since before I was born, as everybody keeps trying to pour the new wine into old skins. I decided to have nothing to do with the free energy field long ago, and develop a different approach (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The biggest event in the human journey (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) seems to require it. Dennis was as heroic as it gets (https://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), but Indiana Jones (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jones) can’t save the world by himself. Ten Dennises, combining their efforts, and we would already live in the Fifth Epoch, or 50 of Brian and me (https://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#heroes), but there are not that many of us on the planet today, and that is one of the loneliest feelings in the world, especially when the stakes (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) are contemplated.

Hi:
Since I decided to take a year off to update my big essay and follow it with a book, I have been spending time thinking about my essay, how to revise it, and the like. I am largely in a planning phase. In my career, planning was key. If you did not plan it right, you could go marching off a cliff. The early chapters of the revised essays will likely get the biggest makeover. I already decided to move the big timelines to a separate page (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page4?p=2640&viewfull=1#post2640), and each historical chapter will have its own abbreviated timeline.
Last month, I started a thread on receiving a fair hearing (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/155-Receiving-a-Fair-Hearing?p=2598&viewfull=1#post2598), and yesterday, I was drafting a new essay section on that subject. But, as I wrote, I realized that it was too big a subject to do justice to in the essay revision, and I decided to make a companion essay for it. It is a cousin to my orthodoxy versus alternatives essay (https://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm), but I wrote it long ago, maybe around 2005. A lot of study has happened since then, and the issue of receiving a fair hearing is arguably the most critical one facing humanity today, as money and power dictate what people think about.
So, I will take what I wrote yesterday and begin my essay with that. Drafting it won’t take too long, and I don’t expect it to be very long. We’ll see if I make any other companion essays to the big essay.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I am currently reading this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/542625.Life_in_the_World_Unseen) (I read The Ickabog (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53490148-the-ickabog) in recent days, too – Rowling is way up there, in my estimation), which was first published in 1954. The content is very similar to other works like it (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/149-The-Human-Afterlife-and-the-Journey-of-our-Souls?p=2339&viewfull=1#post2339), and one passage in particular has been of interest to me so far. It was about how scientists and inventors work on the astral plane, coming up with the ideas for theories and technologies that are then transmitted to the appropriate people for it. The author was adamant that many technologies have been invented on the astral plane for physical use, but humanity’s spiritual maturity is not such that they can be safely used on Earth, so they have not been made available to human minds yet, to be invented.
Well, that concept could not apply to free energy, antigravity, and the mind-boggling technologies that my friend was shown (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173), as they are already on the planet. :)
And this brings me to an issue that I have discussed before, but it merits brief mention. My work is all about the safe transition to the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). That was also the point of that proposal that Brian and I wrote for the DOE (https://ahealedplanet.net/impacts.htm).
It could be argued that the reactions of denial and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level1) that accompany the mention of free energy could be fears about abuse of free energy, but that has not been my experience. More than a decade ago, the CEO at my software company (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life/page2?p=2519&viewfull=1#post2519) made one of the major organizational announcements that accompanied those tumultuous years, and as he made the announcement and took questions, he noted that almost everybody immediately thought about the impact to them personally, not what the impact to the company would be, not what he aspired for the company to achieve. He essentially said that everybody immediately thought, “What’s in it for me?”
Well, that seems to be behind the reactions of denial and fear that I have witnessed so many times. They are not concerned about misuse, but about how the rise of free energy might impact their lives, and they can’t see any further than their jobs and immediate self-interest. In a world of scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), such reactions are normal. People basically fear change, because in our world, it means winners and losers. In the Fifth Epoch, when abundance and love reign, those kinds of self-centered reactions will end.

Hi:
It is time for a brief post on Ed. The year before he died, he gave this interview (https://lumpenproletariat.org/tag/dr-edward-s-herman/) on Rwanda (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#rwanda). In the interview, it was noted that at Wikipedia, any attempt to change the official story on Rwanda is quickly defeated. On issues such as that, Wikipedia has become a Ministry of Truth.
I am not quite finished with Wikipedia on Ed’s bio. I noted the specific libelous statements in his bio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Edward_S._Herman#Specific_libelous_statements_in_Herman%E2%80%99s_biography), but it remains libelous. I will revisit the issue periodically, until the libelous statements are removed. It might never happen, but I can keep trying.
I had my site changed to HTTPS recently, for a few reasons, one of which was so that the search engines would not demote Ed’s bio. Two years ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page5?p=1689&viewfull=1#post1689), Ed’s bio was the second result when somebody entered his name at Google. Today, it is on page 10 of results. We’ll see if it climbs back to where it should be.
Helen Buyniski (http://helenofdestroy.com/index.php/videos/137-wikipedia-s-propaganda-internationale) is arguably the leading Wikipedia critic (http://helenofdestroy.com/index.php/exposing-wikipedia) these days. My guess is that some books on Wikipedia are not far off.
I just saw this eulogy (https://www.free-simone-and-laurent-gbagbo.com/single-post/2017/12/12/Edward-S-Herman-Fourth-power-in-the-name-of-truth) for Ed.

Hi:
It is time for a COVID post (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/145-The-Coronavirus-Pandemic?p=2224&viewfull=1#post2224). In two recent books by MDs (1 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484), 2 (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36710850-vaccines-autoimmunity-and-the-changing-nature-of-childhood-illness)), they discussed the mechanics of vaccination. In Moskowitz’s book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36266133-vaccines), he described how the very intention of vaccination is to elicit a chronic autoimmune response, as the immune system keeps generating antibodies for what the vaccine introduced and the body can’t get rid of, as it does for normal diseases. It is not hard to see that the skyrocketing autoimmune diseases in recent generations are likely directly related to vaccination.
What caught my interest recently is that what scientists are now calling “COVID long haulers (https://medium.com/microbial-instincts/why-covid-long-haulers-should-be-careful-about-vaccines-790fc1d366e8)” seems to be because of an autoimmune response (1 (https://bgr.com/2021/01/28/long-covid-symptoms-cause-explained-autoantibodies/), 2 (https://www.kut.org/covid-19/2021-01-27/texas-neurologist-points-to-possible-autoimmune-response-with-long-covid), 3 (https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/can-covid-19-trigger-autoimmune-reactions-heres-the-science-so-far/ar-BB1bwFyC)). So, the long-haulers may well be continually ill because of an autoimmune response, and vaccination may well be responsible for it. So, let’s have more vaccinations! :)
Yesterday, RFK, Jr.’s organization published an admission (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/new-york-times-explains-lack-covid-treatments/) that the medical establishment’s response to COVID-19 was vaccinations over treatments, as the big money is in vaccinations. Geez! No surprise there. It has been that way since the beginning (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#vaccination), and coercion to get the COVID vaccine (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/ethics-paying-people-to-get-covid-jab/) is on the rise.
Grim times.

3rd February 2021, 01:46
Hi:
I am working on the fair hearing essay, and my previous post (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/145-The-Coronavirus-Pandemic?p=2657&viewfull=1#post2657) spurred one that has been a long time in coming. I’ll adapt this post to my essay. Back in 1970, my father began having serious health issues at age 34, as his desk job, American diet, and drinking took its toll. He quit drinking cold turkey, just as he quit smoking a decade earlier. That helped, but he was still seriously overweight, had incipient angina and other problems, about the same time that his father was forced into retirement by a series of heart attacks.
My father went to our family physician, to see what he could do about his incipient artery disease, and his doctor said that all that was possible was giving him some pills and hoping for the best. His increasing blood pressure was considered “normal (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#pressure)” by Western medicine in those days.
Not long afterward, his aunt gave him a book (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#stale) on how changing his diet to fresh food, from civilization’s processed food, could reverse his artery disease. In June 1970, my entire family went “health nut,” to save my father’s health, and it worked spectacularly. I learned a few things from those events, and one was how hostile people were to the idea that their diets harmed their health. I learned some caution back then, regarding discussing anything unorthodox with people.
As I eventually discovered, Western medicine had long been in bed with corporate interests, particularly food processors (https://ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#stare), and medical officials’ designating processed food “healthy” was to make their patrons happy and profitable. Heck, they promoted cigarettes for a generation (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#smoking), and even an asbestos cigarette filter (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lorillard).
My father’s blood pressure went from abnormally high to abnormally low, although we now know that it was not abnormally low at all. It was just low when compared to blood pressure tables at the time that showed that blood pressure “normally” increased with age. But in 1970, that advice - that my father could clean up his arteries with a fresh food diet - was “contrary to the weight of informed medical and scientific opinion,” and in 1982, the book was banned in the USA (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#banned) from being sold through the mail system.
Eventually, Western medicine began to admit that increasing blood pressure maybe wasn’t so “normal” after all, and they eventually admitted that their “informed medical and scientific opinion” was spectacularly wrong. But when I first wrote my medical racket essay around 1999, the only treatments that orthodox medicine offered were drugs and surgical procedures for artery disease, and bypass surgery is still a money machine, although there is no evidence (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#bypass) that it increases the patients’ life expectancies. A recent study (https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2019/11/invasive-heart-treatments-not-always-needed.html) confirmed the findings of the only ones that were performed earlier.
Lo and behold, when I revised my medical racket essay in 2014, the Mayo Clinic, which only recommended drugs and surgeries in the late 1990s, advocated diet and lifestyle changes to treat artery disease. It was literally their first line of defense (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#mayo). It was incredible to witness that in my lifetime. But that was just one of a number of similar issues.
Similarly, I began a fasting regimen at age 17 (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fasting), and it has been my first line of health maintenance ever since. Any experienced faster well knows the amazing physical changes that accompany fasting, but I was ridiculed over that, as was my diet, and Western medicine called it a dangerous fad. Now, it has entered the mainstream, and a Nobel Prize was won several years ago (https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2016/press-release/) on the miraculous effects of autophagy, which fasting triggers. Similarly, I became a vegetarian when I was 20, and was amazed at the attacks on vegetarians that lasted well into the 21st century (https://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm). And now, being a vegetarian is cool and one of the hot capitalist plays is fake meat companies.
I lived to see all of that in my lifetime. Other revolutions are coming, and we’ll see if live to see them.
When it looked like Dennis was not going to live to see this side of the bars again, I got a job at a medical lab (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience), which was almost immediately attacked by a government-media alliance, which was similar to the attacks that we received in Seattle (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) and Ventura (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), so, I got to see both the energy and medical rackets in action before I began my studies.
When I began to hit the books in 1990 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739), among the first subjects I studied was alternative medicine. I got books on Rife (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife) and Naessens (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens), and obtained Medical Dark Ages (https://ahealedplanet.net/mdaq.htm). It was initially mind-boggling to learn that both Rife and Naessens invented microscopes with “impossible” resolutions, and to this day, orthodoxy ignores them as if they never existed, but Rife’s scope has surviving images (https://ahealedplanet.net/rife.htm#images). With those microscopes, both men were able to see and record life processes that cannot be seen with today’s orthodox microscopes. Optical microscopes can’t get resolutions high enough, and electron microscopes kill what they look at. Both men documented subcellular pleomorphic dynamics, which tell a very different story from orthodoxy’s. I eventually studied the work of the professional ancestor (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm) that Rife and Naessens did not realize they had, as they did their work. It seems that Louis Pasteur plagiarized his contemporary, in his quest for fame and fortune, as he developed his germ theory of disease. The germ theory of disease might be deeply flawed.
Rife and Naessens endured numerous legal attacks, there were kangaroo courts, murder attempts, and deaths related to Rife’s efforts, and Rife eventually fled to Mexico.
I have noticed a pattern in medical science and practice, and I’ll provide some examples of what I am referring to:
Orthodox cancer treatment;
Bypass surgery;
Fluoridation;
Vaccination.
Orthodox cancer treatment uniformly has attacked the tumor (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket). It doesn’t work, if by working, we mean increasing the patient’s life expectancy. But medical science defined “effectiveness” as the “responsiveness” of the tumor. Sure it responds; it is being attacked. But attacking the tumor does nothing to address the underlying reasons for getting the cancer in the first place. The attack-the-tumor approach has the virtue of being violent and lucrative. Just about all alternatives that I am aware of abandoned the attack-the-tumor paradigm, and all such practitioners (virtually all MDs and scientists) had hell to pay (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#suppress).
I dealt with bypass surgery above, which is also violent and lucrative, while self-management and alternative treatments were attacked and outlawed.
The history of fluoridation (https://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory) is more of the same, in which an industrial waste was given a makeover by scientists working for fluoride polluters, and turned into compulsory medicine. It is beyond Orwell’s nightmares, and has a bonus-effect of causing brain damage (https://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#harold).
Lastly, we have vaccination, which, like the others is violent and lucrative, and there really is little evidence that it “works,” if we mean achieving a disease-free condition. Instead, there is no real evidence that vaccination ever conquered any disease and, at best, it seems to trade the acute reaction to infectious disease into a chronic one that leads to autoimmune diseases (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/145-The-Coronavirus-Pandemic?p=2657&viewfull=1#post2657). The current epidemic of autoimmune diseases in heavily vaccinated populations might all be laid at the door of vaccination.
The gold standard of vaccination “effectiveness” is the production of antibodies, but that is a very misleading measure of immunity. The immune system can “remember” to produce the antibodies for diseases that it has recovered from, and that the body no longer produces them does not mean that the person did not acquire immunity. This is even beginning to come out with COVID-19 in the mainstream (1 (https://www.thehealthsite.com/news/recovered-from-covid-19-your-immune-system-may-fight-coronavirus-variants-792645/), 2 (https://www.healthline.com/health-news/covid-19-reinfection-antibodies-immunity), 3 (https://www.bbc.com/news/health-52446965)). But Bill Gates (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2648&viewfull=1#post2648) and his medical racket friends want it to be all vaccines all the time.
Another example of the insanity of the medical paradigm was the promotion of radiation hormesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hormesis), which is the idea that a little radiation is good for you, promoted most famously by the inventor of the hydrogen bomb. The reaction of the body to radiation, to repair itself, was touted as showing radiation’s salubrious properties. It is the “broken window fallacy (https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/broken-window-fallacy.asp)” in economics, applied to medicine.
What the orthodox treatments above all have in common, as well as the suppressed alternatives, is that none of them ever really got a fair hearing. It was all about racketeering. The orthodox treatments don’t work, and suppress symptoms at best, but are violent and lucrative. In short, they “do something.” The alternatives are gentle, effective, cheap, and outlawed, and this situation is exactly what Benjamin Rush warned about (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rush).
This kind of lack of a fair hearing I found in nearly every area I looked into, even mundane scientific issues, but it was much worse where the rackets were concerned, and the lemmings line up (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings).
I predict that in the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), almost nothing of today’s medical paradigm will survive (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm1), and nobody will miss it.

Hi:
Boy, did RFK, Jr., ever tee off on Bill Gates (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-gates-neo-feudalism-farmer-bill/) yesterday. All technologies are only tools, and it is how the tools are used that matter. As Noam has discussed, the Luddites were not against technology (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what-the-luddites-really-fought-against-264412/), per se, but technology used as a weapon against workers. I have written plenty that I am not a fan of “philanthropy (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2639&viewfull=1#post2639)” in general, and particularly Gates’s style (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2648&viewfull=1#post2648), modeled after John Rockefeller’s.
I have written that humanity’s future will be a technological one, just as technology has defined the human journey, and both the hellish (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115) and heavenly (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) Roads worlds were technologically advanced (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=673081&viewfull=1#post673081). The difference was if it was used in the service of love or fear. That hellish world was kept in a state of artificial scarcity, not far removed from a lot of what is happening today. The people taking a loving approach to this Epochal task (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worked) can hardly be found on Earth. But, it is also the case that with each Epoch, and the increasing energy surplus that each delivered (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), societies became more humane.
It is a conundrum (https://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#summary), and we can’t count on ruthless capitalist “philanthropists” to save the day. This is going to be the hardest nut to crack on Earth, and it will take unusual people to make it happen (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), I know what their qualities will be (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), and I am attempting to create the material and venue that will be worthy of them.

Hi:
To continue on what has not worked and why (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/159-What-Has-Not-Worked-and-Why?p=2647&viewfull=1#post2647), no capitalist efforts have a prayer (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#money). After the dust settled after my initial ride with Dennis, I realized that the businessman’s path to free energy likely did not have a prayer (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=710&viewfull=1#post710), and after my second stint with him (https://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), I was certain of it.
As Brian tried to educate the public in his last years, there is about a $200 million chasm of development money (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate) between a free energy prototype created in an inventor’s garage and something ready for public consumption. It is a no-man’s land (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#oleary) that no independent effort has ever crossed, and no effort could ever get that kind of money while sneaking under the GCs’ radar (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7). That is a naïve fantasy.
Dennis is by far the greatest human I have ever known (https://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), and his package of heart, courage, talent, and persistence is like nothing else that I ever heard about. You had to see it to believe it. He shrugged off his stints of incarceration, as the officials tried to have him murdered (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), going back at it harder than ever each time.
As I learned the hard way (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=622&viewfull=1#post622), when money begins to change hands, the game changes radically. I understand why people are advised to never do business with their friends and family. As I have stated many times, it is the very rare free energy effort that even needs to have organized suppression (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) applied to it. Most free energy inventors never come up with anything viable, so there is nothing to suppress. And even then, greed rears its head (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greed), inventors can go megalomaniac (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), as the magnitude of the goal (https://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion) begins to become evident, and such efforts usually end in self-inflicted bloodbaths.
As Dennis discovered, putting the world’s best heating system (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on people’s homes for free (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs) was no protection from officials and the media (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2072&viewfull=1#post2072). They literally made it up as they went along, and portrayed the most brilliant and benevolent business effort that I ever saw or heard of as a scam (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam). A hit man from the electric companies (https://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm) joined the fray, which led to a woman’s death (https://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), which was Dennis’s first radicalizing moment in the energy business.
I witnessed many attempts to steal Dennis’s companies (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), beginning with my boss in Seattle (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=604&viewfull=1#post604), and as my fellow employees cheered the theft, it was my first big moment of awakening (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why) during my ride with Dennis.
If people try to raise money from investors, it will end in a bloodbath, and the inventor will lose control of his/her invention, even for normal inventing (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/159-What-Has-Not-Worked-and-Why?p=2647&viewfull=1#post2647). If you try to just sell to the public, then the officials can use “consumer protection” laws on you, even if you initially give away your product. Protecting the public is actually the greatest racket on Earth (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent1).
Another angle that free energy newbies always chase after is “philanthropist” money (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich). The term “rich philanthropist (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2648&viewfull=1)” is an oxymoron, and that recent article on Bill Gates (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2659&viewfull=1#post2659) kind of sums up the nature of billionaire “philanthropy.” It is all about power and control. In 2003, Steve Jobs gave an interview (https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/the-steve-jobs-nobody-knew-71168/), the subject of Gates’s greed came up, and Jobs said:
“I like Bill, but sometimes I wonder – Bill, why do you have to take a dollar out of every dollar that passes through your hands? Why do you have to have it all? Can’t you just take, like, 99 cents and leave a penny for someone else?”
To expect somebody like that to become a big-hearted “philanthropist” is a fantasy. Very few people ever turn over a new leaf in their lifetimes, and especially leaves like that.
When I was with NEM (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), and provided all of their funding in their first year, one board member told me how they were going to chase after the heirs of robber barons, such as Rockefeller heirs. They did not amass their bloodstained fortunes, so might be “liberal” enough to support a cause like NEM. In one of Greer’s (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938) early books, he mentioned hanging out with the Rockefellers, and he could see that they had their own handlers, to make sure that any “philanthropy” did not stray from the program of power and control. True humanitarian efforts were not part of the program. The Rockefellers helped wipe Dennis (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) out more than once.
If any of them actually tried to support something like a free energy effort, they would get subtly redirected, and we saw how all subtlety could be left behind, in bringing a rogue billionaire to heel (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#windmill) and send him scurrying back to his mansion.
The latest entrant to the philanthropy game is Bezos’s ex-wife (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacKenzie_Scott#Philanthropy), who is giving billions to women’s causes and the like, which is a “safe” philanthropy. If she ever thought to support something like a free energy effort, she would be subtly dissuaded from it. If that did not work, the tactics would escalate, probably by manufacturing some kind of scandal in the effort, which would mar her reputation. The playbook that they have to derail any threats to their global hegemony is a big one. They have all sorts of tactics in their bag of tricks (https://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic), to bring to bear on any threats. Most of the time, their targets don’t even realize how they were targeted, or how their lives were wrecked or shortened (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page11?p=847&viewfull=1#post847). All that they knew was that disaster struck, and they had no idea why or how.
And, when some begin to figure it out, they can go paranoid, and they end up attacking their allies instead, as they self-destruct in their naïve paranoia. I have seen all of these situations, repeatedly, and it could be heartbreaking to witness (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#assistant).
I believe that I can build the choir (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) without ever asking for any money, and that has been an intentional strategy.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Apropos to my previous post (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/159-What-Has-Not-Worked-and-Why?p=2660&viewfull=1#post2660), here is a tale of the gold business (https://magazine.atavist.com/the-gilded-age-peru-gold-ntr-elemetal-illegal-mining-ferrari). Free energy efforts are slightly more genteel. :) Here is an article (https://www.wired.com/story/there-are-spying-eyes-everywhere-and-now-they-share-a-brain/) on the developing global surveillance state, and that can’t hold a candle to the GCs’ surveillance capabilities, which is why trying to sneak past them (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7) is so suicidally foolish. But the lure of free energy turns people into Orcs who lust after the One Ring. Oh, the ugliness I have seen, and the insanity.

Hi:
Back to vaccination and the pandemic for a moment….
Approach is everything. I go into a bit of depth on the vaccination issue, and the most credible challengers, by far, are MDs who saw vaccines damage their patients, saw how the medical authorities denied it, and they devoted their careers to the issue (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/145-The-Coronavirus-Pandemic?p=2657&viewfull=1#post2657). I have been rereading Moskowitz’s book (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484) lately, and I have not seen anybody lay it out better than he has. Basically, the issue is riddled with conflicts of interest, like in so many other areas. Moskowitz’s conclusion is that the situation is one of capitalism run amuck. The media is the same way (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday), and so on (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#steroids). It is amazing that a system that runs on greed (https://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed) is extolled as humanity’s highest state.
This so-called pandemic has caused a perfect storm, of lock-downs, financial ruin for millions, while Wall Street cleans up, Gates leads the way (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2648&viewfull=1#post2648) to vaccinations for everybody, with his awesome conflicts of interest (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2659&viewfull=1#post2659), and it cost Trump the presidency. Unfortunately, so much of the conspiracist opposition to vaccination is at the paranoid tabloid fantasy level, like QAnon (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611). That p***y-grabbing Trump was turned into some kind of white knight on a steed was surreal to witness, and as I stated, that Santa did not come down the chimney does not matter to them, as they keep making up even crazier stuff, such as Trump is still in the White House (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-qanon-president-white-house-executions-b1798452.html), executing the Deep State cabalists. Truly, the QAnon people are properly categorized with Flat Earthers (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth), although most are finally beginning to realize how they had been taken for a ride (https://www.npr.org/2021/01/28/961507953/without-their-messiah-qanon-believers-confront-a-post-trump-world).
Again, conspiracists think like victims (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), and that mindset encourages people to become spectators, booing the (largely imaginary) bad guys, and cheering the (largely imaginary) good guys, like in cowboy movies. It is all irrelevant to how the world really works, as they live in a paranoid fantasy world. Trump is going to prevail any day now (https://phibetaiota.net/2021/01/concluding-trump-triumph-looms/)! :)

Hi:
I read two articles recently, on how the megafauna extinctions led to the Third Epoch (https://theconversation.com/how-the-extinction-of-ice-age-mammals-may-have-forced-us-to-invent-civilisation-128799), and how not all hunter-gatherers lived in small egalitarian bands (https://aeon.co/essays/not-all-early-human-societies-were-small-scale-egalitarian-bands).
I have written on Otterbein’s hypothesis before (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page7?p=873&viewfull=1#post873), and it will get more discussion in my essay update. Otterbein’s hypothesis is that agriculture could not have been invented if people still hunted big game. The tools for big game hunting (stone-tipped spears and arrows) also made great weapons to use against people. Where big game was hunted, warfare was also endemic, and early farmers would have been too vulnerable to raiders for farming to succeed. It took centuries and millennia to domesticate humanity’s crops, and it had to be where warfare was not prevalent, which meant no big game hunting. I think that there is a lot to that hypothesis.
On hierarchical hunter-gatherers, I think that the issue is pretty simple, and with an energetic perspective, it is easy to understand. The Calusa featured in that article (https://aeon.co/essays/not-all-early-human-societies-were-small-scale-egalitarian-bands) practiced aquaculture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture). The Pacific Northwest culture had the energy supply deliver itself to the village with the salmon runs. Only with a local and stable energy supply could people become sedentary and create the social hierarchies that came with higher population densities. I don’t care if it was farming plants, fish, or having a stable migration route to exploit (salmon runs and mammoths). When that level of energy supply was not available, people had to be mobile, to go where the energy was. As the mammoths were hunted to extinction (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gravettian) in Eurasia, there were short-lived mammoth villages, and with sedentary life, humans had the time to craft the “hunter-gatherer” grave goods that anthropologists have marveled over.
When energy was scarce, large populations could not be sustained, and small bands had to be how it was. Men always dominated if they could (which goes back at least as far as gorillas and chimps (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), and bonobos (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) are the exception that proves the rule), and those small bands could not support “elites,” with such a small energy surplus, so they had to be egalitarian. As soon as the energy supply got large enough, then people became sedentary, and it was not long before men asserted themselves. The exception to that rule was when women brought in more calories than the men did, and when societies became matrilocal or multilocal, it broke up the male gangs, and those were the relatively peaceful societies (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1) that anthropologists have studied. Generally, those societies were either horticultural or fishing villages.
If an energetic perspective is used, it is really pretty easy to understand, and the arguments and controversies that I see would quickly collapse. I have recently been asked the question of which was worse: being a Third-Epoch peasant, or a Second-Epoch egalitarian hunter-gatherer? That is a good question. Of course, not all peasants and hunter-gatherers were created equal. If I had to pick a representative member of each group, I would pick an aboriginal Australian for the hunter-gatherers, and a peasant from any one of the many Old World agrarian civilizations. Their lives did not change much, from the earliest civilizations (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer) to the Industrial Revolution. Australian aborigines had the same subsistence and material culture, with very few changes and none of significance, for about 40,000 years, and lasted clear up until the English invaded (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tasmania).
Australian societies were patrilocal and violent. In some parts of Australia, more than 70% of the men had skull fractures from fighting, and in some places more than 70% of the women had skull fractures, as beating women was “normal,” particularly by their husbands (see this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18812061-violence-and-warfare-among-hunter-gatherers)). Long ago, I read that an aboriginal Australian skull was twice as thick as a European skull, and maybe now we know why. :)
Old World peasants had miserable, short lives. Their labors were backbreaking, sometimes literally. But as bad as they had it, the slaves had it worse. One question has been if a peasant’s life was so bad, why would any hunter-gatherer go peasant? Well, it didn’t really work that way. The spread of crops was highly successful, and where horticulture appeared, hunter-gatherer women soon married into horticultural communities, and hunter-gatherer men were driven from the gene pool. Early horticulture could sustain 10-to-20 times the population densities that hunter-gatherers could, so its attractiveness was obvious, the soils and forests had not been depleted by agriculture yet, and the “pests” had not yet adapted to crops and village societies. That took thousands of years, and by the time that the downsides of agriculture became clear, and the brutal life of a peasant, it was too late to have a 90-to-95% depopulation to go back to hunting and gathering.
There were also those semi-sedentary “hunter-gatherers” who took advantage of fish, primarily, so that they sometimes resisted the incursions of farmers for centuries. There was always some variation, as each situation was unique, but everything that I have seen so far falls into that explanatory framework. It is all about energy, as usual.
So, who had it worse, an egalitarian hunter-gather or a Third-Epoch peasant? What a choice. Up to a third of hunter-gatherer men died violently, so the specter of violence was constant. Proportionally, peasants were not as subject to violence, but their lives were pure drudgery, and they could get conscripted into armies, as urban polities warred against each other. Peasants were illiterate, so did not get the joys of reading (elites prevented it, but it was also a practical matter; a literate peasant could not use that literacy in any meaningful way, other than to escape the farm for the city). Third-Epoch urban professionals (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#professions) and the elite had it “good,” but the thin energy surplus of peasant agriculture could not support more than 10-20% non-peasants (professionals and the elite).
It has been estimated that Earth’s carrying capacity under a hunter-gatherer lifestyle was about 10 million, and under an agrarian lifestyle, maybe two billion (but maybe closer to one billion). So, if a hunter-gatherer’s life was “better” than a peasant’s, it was a life that only about 1% as many people could live. The casual violence of Third-Epoch societies could be breathtaking to industrialized peoples, but it was far less than in hunter-gatherer societies. If I had to choose, give me a peasant’s life, and maybe I could escape to the city. :)

Wade

Hi:
It is time for a censorship post. One of the greatest myths in the USA is that we have a free press (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big). Nothing could be further from the truth, if by a free press, we mean a press that is free to challenge the power structure on the public’s behalf, which the First Amendment was designed to safeguard. Noam and Ed discovered that the hard way (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv). Ed was one of the first writers (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#global) on the Internet’s coming impact on the media, and his last interview that I am aware of (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#facebook1) also dealt with the issue.
It could be argued that what Trump did was like yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater, which led to several deaths on January 6th. But that the sitting president was censored like he was shows where the real power is, and it does not reside in the White House (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). The giants of the Internet have been going into totalitarian mode with censorship for years now; first, as part of the cancel culture, and it has gone into overdrive with the pandemic. Bizarrely, or predictably, the Internet companies get to have it both ways. A law was passed in 1996 to eliminate any liability for Internet companies, based on their content, and they always defend themselves by saying that they are not responsible for content, but they can censor anything that they want, for no reason at all. They usually call it a violation of the contract that people “sign” for using the company’s services, but they don’t need to cite anything – they can literally make it up as they go. The Internet giants did it to many alternative media companies a few years ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#propornot1), based on a McCarthy-ite smear campaign (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#propornot). Heck, companies have had their Internet access revoked, for the same non-reasons, effectively putting them out of business.
Nearly every day, I see some kind of fawning article on Bill Gates the Messiah. :) RFK, Jr., gave him hell (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2659&viewfull=1#post2659), and I have yet to see one of his articles that was not based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, which challenges Gates’s vaccinations-for-everything approach, which the government promotes, with prodigious conflicts of interest. When Hank Aaron died a couple of weeks after his ballyhooed COVID vaccine, RFK, Jr., reasonably questioned whether it was vaccine-related (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/hank-aaron-dies-days-after-receiving-moderna-vaccine/). It led to a firestorm of media censure, full of ex cathedra pronouncements that his death had nothing to do with the vaccine. Facebook just canceled RFK, Jr.’s Instagram account (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/robert-kenney-jr-instagram-removal-account/), with nearly a million followers, over his vaccine “misinformation.” Vaccine-related deaths are almost impossible to determine, as it is just the nature of the beast, and now we learn from RFK, Jr., that Aaron did not even have an autopsy (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/national-media-vaccine-misinformation-hank-aaron/). Ex cathedra, indeed.
These kinds of capricious cancellations of accounts, clear up to the White House, is censorship, plain and simple, and there is no due process at all. It is performed at the whim of the big Internet companies, and we’ll see if my future work is impacted by this censorship culture, in The Land of the Free.
Best,

Hi:
I am going to put up some odds and ends posts, to clear out some of my link stash to write about. Everywhere I look, my journey’s primary lesson (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) jumps out at me. Personal integrity is not only Earth’s scarcest commodity, it is also its most precious, and people who manifest it are like beacons in the darkness. My pantheon is not a large one (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042), and few of them are alive today, but it is people like them why we have a chance to turn the corner, and not dive headlong into the abyss (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).
In preparation for my essay on getting a fair hearing, I am reading this book (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005CXDG88/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) on the scientific enterprise, and it is largely about scientific misconduct. The tales are all too familiar. Thievery, suppression, backbiting, and the like are typical behaviors in scientific work, and it seems to be getting worse. In ways, medical science is the worst (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2815%2960696-1/fulltext?rss%3Dye), with awe-inspiring conflicts of interest, but there is plenty of competition, and astronomy and physics are by no means immune. An essay by Halton Arp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halton_Arp) in that book showed how he was basically kicked out of the USA for challenging Big Bang dogma. Other essays chronicled many, many instances of misconduct in science, similar to the stories that I heard from Mr. Mentor (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#funeral) nearly 50 years ago.
Robert Fisk died last year (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/133-Julian-Assange-and-Wikileaks?p=2626&viewfull=1#post2626), and he has been posthumously smeared by his colleagues, not far removed from how Ed’s Wikipedia bio is still libelous (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#wikipedia) and may always be so. I was reading some articles on what the USA did to Iraq, which is the crime of the 21st century so far (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). I have been reading articles on how the USA destroyed Iraq’s society (https://billmoyers.com/2014/06/20/an-iraqi-perspective-how-americas-destruction-of-iraqi-society-led-to-todays-chaos/), which is still chaotic (https://english.alaraby.co.uk/english/indepth/2020/3/23/iraq-still-in-chaos-17-years-after-us-invasion), how the USA will never apologize (https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/why-us-will-never-say-sorry-destroying-iraq), and on the several million Muslims who have been killed in our imperial wars for oil (https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/unworthy-victims-western-wars-have-killed-four-million-muslims-1990). Death tolls are always kind of tricky business, particularly in genocides, and I consider Gideon Polya’s (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#polya) approach to be the best one, as deaths from violence are only one piece of the puzzle. Excess deaths also come from destroying a country so that it cannot pursue its own “self-determination,” such as what the British did to India, which resulted in nearly two billion shortened lives (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2). The imperial death toll in Afghanistan and Iraq is probably more like 10 million people (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1).
I clearly recall immediately after the American invasion, our troops purposefully destroyed every institution in Iraq, other than the oil ministry. Iraq had one of the best museums on Earth, in the cradle of civilization, and American troops tore down its gates and encouraged it to be looted. Fisk said that it would be a mistake (https://www.abc.net.au/lateline/roberst-fisk-shares-his-middle-east-knowledge/810396) to think that the destruction of Iraq’s society was some kind of unintended outcome. I clearly remember that there was a spree of assassinations of Iraq’s scientists after the invasion. In the end, it was little different from Hitler’s invasion of Poland, as the Nazis slaughtered Poland’s professionals.
I have been reading this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44321462-jfk-vs-allen-dulles) on JFK, Allen Dulles, and Indonesia. It is a sequel to this book (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/104-The-JFK-Assassination?p=1076&viewfull=1#post1076) by the same author. Basically, Dulles and friends (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles) were able to completely hide from JFK the huge gold and oil deposits in and around New Guinea. JFK’s murder was directly related to the overthrow of Indonesia’s government a couple of years later, to install one of history’s greatest genocidists (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#suharto). That issue of the sitting president’s being hoodwinked echoes Greer’s interactions with the GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), on how American presidents are completely in the dark (https://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents) on the important issues.
A “bonus” in Poulgrain’s books is that George de Mohrenschildt was right in the middle of the Indonesian oil situation, which Dulles managed for the Rockefellers, going back to the 1920s. That an exiled Russian aristocrat “befriended” the “commie” Oswald was one of the many anomalies of Oswald’s background, which screamed intelligence connections (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower). Dulles essentially ran the Warren Commission, and very actively covered up Oswald’s CIA and intelligence connections. It is truly hard to believe that anybody who is the slightest bit informed can buy the Warren Commission’s fantasies.
Back to work.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have had many distractions lately, and need to bear down and get my writing done.
I just finished this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12902582-race) today on race and science, and have been reading the scientific fur that has been flying over recent DNA studies (1 (https://tangatawhenua16.wixsite.com/the-first-ones-blog/single-post/2020/09/11/sidestep-is-ancient-dna-research-revealing-new-truths-or-falling-into-old-traps), 2 (http://johnhawks.net/weblog/topics/metascience/ancient-dna-longread-lewis-kraus-2019.html), 3 (https://reich.hms.harvard.edu/five-corrections-new-york-times), 4 (https://www.gnxp.com/WordPress/2019/01/19/194105/), 5 (http://peterturchin.com/cliodynamica/a-critique-of-ancient-dna-research-in-new-york-times/), 6 (http://languagehat.com/the-reich-backlash/), 7 (http://www.arkeologiskasamfundet.se/csa/Dokument/Volumes/csa_vol_27_2019/csa_vol_27_2019_s53-68_furholt.pdf)). It is time to make a little summary post on my essay update.
The early chapters are getting a pretty significant overhaul, mostly new stuff, but also a bit of reorganization.
The eon of complex life (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cambrian), until the path to humanity (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#path), won’t change a whole lot, but that is relative. I’ll probably have the most fun updating those chapters. The Epochs of the human journey will change significantly, mostly in adding new material. A lot of study has gone on in those subjects since 2015.
As I have thought about my work, my concept of Epochs has been very helpful in navigating the issues. Human energy levels define the Epochs, everything else follows from that, and a brief summary is in order.
First Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1): The journey from australopiths to behaviorally modern humans was the greatest one, as far as human changes go. That Epoch was responsible for the appearance of behaviorally modern humans on the evolutionary scene, and it was an energy story above all else. Exploiting new food sources, the exploitation of fire, and increasingly sophisticated toolsets had positive feedback effects in growing the human brain, which is an energy hog. That entire Epoch is the subject of a lot of new research. This was the Epoch when human cognition was developed.
Second Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2): From an anatomical and cognitive aspect, nothing of significance has happened with humans in the past 60,000 years. The Second through Fourth Epochs were all about energy and tools, and the rising standards of living that enabled the creation of more humane societies. All societal changes for the past 60,000 years, at least, were dependent on energy and tools. Everything else really is noise. The Second Epoch was about the human conquest of Earth, the world’s easy meat fueled that conquest, and they were casualties of that conquest, as well as all other human species. To the extent we have “races,” that happened in that Epoch, which is just evolution at work on isolated populations. But 99.9% of human DNA is identical, so-called race will disappear in the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), and race is a marginal scientific concept, anyway.
Third Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3): I will add a chapter, and the Third Epoch chapters will be: Domestication, Civilization, and The Rise of Europe. That section will get a pretty significance revision. Nothing of substance will change from what I have already published, but there are many areas to go broader and deep into.
Fourth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4): It will have three chapters, Industrialization, The Rise of Oil and Electricity, and a chapter titled, Global Empire, High-Technology, Peak Oil, and the Decline of Industrial Civilization. There is a lot to change in those chapters, but nothing to change their thrust.
Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5): That chapter won’t change a whole lot. The basics of what I envision have not changed much and do not need to. I’ll write a little more on free energy physics and technology, and on that note, today a pal sent me a link to another government admission of ET technology in its possession (https://www.ufoexplorations.com/), which is at least in the tabloids (https://www.the-sun.com/news/2321251/pentagon-admits-testing-wreckage-ufo-crashes/). :) Probably most of what my friend was shown (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) was made from ET technology. These increasing UFO/ET admissions from the federal government have been interesting. We’ll see if I live to see free energy and related technologies come in from the shadows. It will be the biggest event in the human journey, by far, as we become a Type 1 civilization (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev). It is an interesting time to be alive. :)
That will be the raw material for the book.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As an addendum to yesterday’s post (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page4?p=2667&viewfull=1#post2667) on DNA studies and the academic fur that is flying, Reich’s critics noted that he made one hell of a big extrapolation from three skulls of dubious provenance on Vanuatu. I await the scientists who will challenge their recent findings on Caribbean skulls (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/34-History?p=2616&viewfull=1#post2616), as they make the case from their extrapolations that the entire Caribbean likely had less than 100,000 people in it in 1492.
Reich and crew have claimed that Española and Puerto Rico, the two most populous Caribbean islands when Columbus arrived (Jamaica had similar population density, while Cuba’s was less so), only had between 10,000 and 50,000 people on them. I found myself rereading Carl Sauer’s masterpiece (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/809308.The_Early_Spanish_Main) on the early days of the Spanish invasion, and again, if the numbers of Reich and friends are to be believed, we have to dismiss all contemporary observers of Caribbean and Bahaman societies, all archeological work that has been done, and all previous scientific work on the Caribbean.
Reich and crew have stated that Columbus and Las Casas (https://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#casas), and, in fact, all Spanish chroniclers, were wildly unreliable, making up numbers from the thin air. I’ll begin with some facts on the ground. The Caribbean’s conuco culture (https://books.google.com/books?id=6TpDEZsg-FMC&pg=PA178&lpg=PA178&dq=conuco+culture&source=bl&ots=ffGvxaOH3W&sig=ACfU3U3jJJbZPZK6Mr2qJqID8N6UzDIxJw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiwpfern-7uAhXhFjQIHcSACHwQ6AEwB3oECA0QAg#v=onepage&q=conuco%20culture&f=false) was richly productive, and their staples were the cassava (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassava) and sweet potato, which like the potato and maize (which the Caribbean natives also grew, along with beans and many other crops), became Old World staples (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassava#Economic_importance). Las Casas, before his bout of conscience, had native slaves and a plantation, and he, like many other observers, knew how productive native agriculture was. Las Casas noted that 20 people working for six hours a day for one month could plant enough crops to feed 300 people for two years, and harvests were a year-round affair there. A square mile of conucos could feed about two thousand people, which was about the size of a Caribbean village. That was more productive than any European agriculture at the time, and Europe only reached Taino levels with the introduction of the potato.
Conucos were made of mounds of earth, and the crops, mainly root crops, had no problems growing in the soils, and even hurricanes did not bother them. Conucos were everywhere on the islands, with the exception of high on the mountains, but the Spanish found natives living there, too. Española was filled with natives, which all early Spanish observers agreed on.
A typical village on Española had between 200 and 500 families, which lived in bohios (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/boh%C3%ADo), which were houses that held 10-15 families (they only slept there, in their tropical paradise, similar to Hawaiians). Villages had between 20-to-50 bohios in them. That is where Sauer’s 1,000-to-2,000 natives per village came from. Bahaman villages had fewer bohios per village, rarely exceeding a dozen.
Columbus, in his usual arrogant manner, “gave” Saona Island (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saona_Island) to Cuneo, who recorded the first sexual relations between Europeans and natives, as he raped a woman (https://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#rape) that Columbus “gave” him. The Saona Island that Cuneo saw had about 37 villages on it, which Cuneo estimated had about 30,000 people living in them. That 30,000 people, on a tiny island off the coast of Española, is about what Reich’s team estimated for all of Española (on the high end of their range!), and that island was uninhabited in Sauer’s time and only has 300 people on it today. For the record, Española and Puerto Rico have an aggregate 800 times the land area that Saona Island does.
Las Casas came to Española in 1502, after a decade of genocide, and was a prosperous conqueror, with land and slaves of his own. He was the first priest ordained in the Western Hemisphere. In his years in the Caribbean, he was astounded by the depopulation of the natives, and remarked on how the islands had become a native wasteland, and the conuco mounds of former villages were all over Española, which denoted where villages used to be, as the native vegetation took over after the Taino were gone.
There are other ways to try to draw a bead on the Caribbean pre-Columbian population. The Taino were from South America, and largely displaced a hunter-gatherer culture that had been there for several thousand years. Those first invaders drove the last ground sloths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_sloth) and other megafauna to extinction, similar to how the last mammoths were driven to extinction (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammoth) on remote islands that people took longer to invade. The Taino lived in the Caribbean for more than a thousand years, before the Spanish arrived, for probably longer than the Hawaiians lived there (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii#First_human_settlement%E2%80%94Ancient_Hawai%CA%BBi_(800%E2%80%931778)) before Captain Cook “discovered” them.
David Stannard, the author of the devastating American Holocaust (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis?p=2172&viewfull=1#post2172), previously wrote Before the Horror (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/135-White-Male-Bias-in-Scholarship-and-Science?p=1793&viewfull=1#post1793), on the Hawaiian pre-“discovery” population. Whereas academia estimated the pre-discovery population of Hawaii at about 250,000 people, Stannard made the case that it might have been up to one million. The authors of this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/859498.The_Growth_And_Collapse_Of_Pacific_Island_Societies) took Stannard seriously, as did most Pacific Island specialists, and they cited a study of dated charcoal deposits on Hawaii, and extrapolated it backward from the first Hawaiian census, and it supported the 250,000 population number.
Pre-discovery Hawaii and the Caribbean are the two closest things that humanity has likely seen to an earthly paradise. The pre-discovery Hawaiians and Taino lived on their islands for about the same time before “discovery,” and had similar horticultural economies, although the Tainos’ could be argued to be more productive, and the Caribbean is less mountainous than Hawaii is. Hawaii has about 6,000 square miles of land, and Española and Puerto Rico have about five times as much. So, at Hawaiian population density, Española and Puerto Rico would have had more than one million people on them, but Reich’s team came up with 10,000-to-50,000 people. So, on the low end, the Caribbean was less than 1% as densely populated as pre-discovery Hawaii was. That discrepancy demands scientific and scholarly explanation. Reich and team simply waved their hands at the Spanish chroniclers, calling their estimates wild exaggerations. Call me highly skeptical of their findings. I’ll await the scientific rebuttals which are sure to come.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have a small army of friends and allies, who have helped me in my labors. Virtually all of them, however, wish to remain anonymous, at least while they are alive, and some even after they have passed. I have always honored their wishes, but their deaths generally freed me to write about them. I just learned this morning that my editor died. She passed last May, and her name was Pam Hanna. Our story bears some telling.
I stumbled into the Velikovsky issue (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky) back in 1995, with the publication of Charles Ginenthal’s book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/379240.Carl_Sagan_and_Immanuel_Velikovsky). I eventually interacted with most of the names in the field, as a kind of outside observer. I agree that Velikovsky was treated shabbily by establishment science (Einstein was one of the few graceful exceptions), but there is also nothing about his hypotheses regarding Holocene catastrophes that I consider valid. I’ll give the Velikovsky issue this, however – it was kind of my introduction to interdisciplinary thinking. I still read catastrophist work periodically, such as this one (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53310204-deadly-voyager) by a professional scientist, but I have never seen anything that persuaded me of the validity of the various scenarios that they hypothesize.
When I began to engage the public again, around early 1999, I joined a Velikovsky forum. After providing a little of my background, I was immediately attacked by an engineer, who dismissed my background, saying that everybody has some engine story. Well, few do like me (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). :) That was kind of my baptism in forums, being attacked was my standard experience (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/144-My-Troll-Experiences?p=2222&viewfull=1#post2222), and I have yet to see an attack with any legitimacy. It just comes with the territory of what I do, and is partly why my pals almost all like hiding in the shadows, including Pam. She even received a death threat or two over promoting my work amongst her circle, and relationships were wrecked.
Pam was in that Velikovsky forum, and quickly became an ally. It wasn’t my scientific writings, but my political-economic ones, that attracted her. By that time, I had digested the lessons of Noam, Ed, Howard (https://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), and the like. One of Pam’s pals was Vine Deloria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vine_Deloria_Jr.), whom I briefly interacted with.
Pam had a degree in English, and had been an editor. As I put up drafts of my essays, Pam offered to help me edit them, and in late 1999, I took time off to do consulting, and hired Pam to edit my work. I got the education of my writing career via her editor’s red pen. My writings improved so dramatically after her editorial lessons that at least one professional writer pal doubted that I was the author of my work.
We had an enduring friendship, and other than hiring her to help edit my big essay in 2013, she never edited for me again. She got the job done the first time.
My wife’s ancestry goes back in New Mexico to the 1500s, when her ancestors received Spanish land grants, and I have visited New Mexico many times since 1990, when I got married. Pam lived in New Mexico, and I visited her in 2009, 2013 (during my 9,000-mile road trip), and 2017, pics attached.
I visited the first time with my wife, and as soon as I walked in the door, Pam showed me pictures of her in a book, of her initial 15 minutes of fame, and she was naked in them! That is the only time that somebody demonstrated their fame to me in that way. :) One of them is here (http://laurelrose.com/ZBBB/ORNSTAR.HTM). It was a charming moment, and demonstrated how down-to-earth Pam was. She never held back in giving me editorial advice. Pam lived in a hippie commune for years, walking around naked most of the time. As you can tell from one of the pictures, Pam did not even reach my shoulder, and was about 4’8” or so.
Because of Pam, I subscribed to The Sun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_(magazine)) for a decade or so, which she sometimes contributed to. Here are some other Pam links (1 (https://www.diggers.org/most/mstar_chron1.htm), 2 (http://laurelrose.com/PAMnSQUASH.HTM), 3 (http://laurelrose.com/PAM.HTM)). Pam’s husband died in the early 2000s. With each visit, she remarked on how old age was catching up with her, and how she looked forward to dying, as getting out of bed each day became harder. Pam had several children, almost all professionals (an MD and geologist among them), a daughter lived next door, and a son often lived with her. Pam did not depart lonely.
Last winter, Pam informed me that she was diagnosed with cancer, the kind that few survive. I suggested some cheap alternative treatments, fasting, and the like, but she ultimately decided against it, and died in May. I discovered her death here (https://groups.io/g/mostposts/topic/74487603?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0::,,,0,0,0,74487603), after unsuccessfully trying to contact her.
That 2013 picture has some backstory. As I was getting ready to leave, Pam excused herself to her bedroom for a moment, and came out with jewelry and lipstick on, to make a good photo with me. That is one of the most touching photos that I will ever take. I am literally on my knees, so that we could both fit into my selfie.
In Michael’s parlance (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael), Pam was one of my Task Companions. She helped my work get better, as I pursue the biggest event in the human journey (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Whatever competence I have as a writer is partly due to Pam’s influence. I loved Pam, and look forward to seeing her on the other side. Knowing Pam was one of my life’s highlights.
I have more to write about Pam, and hope to do so before long.
Best,
Wade

My wife’s ancestry goes back in New Mexico to the 1500s, when her ancestors received Spanish land grants, and I have visited New Mexico many times since 1990, when I got married. Pam lived in New Mexico, and I visited her in 2009, 2013 (during my 9,000-mile road trip), and 2017, pics attached.
I visited the first time with my wife, and as soon as I walked in the door, Pam showed me pictures of her in a book, as her initial 15 minutes of fame, and she was naked in them! That is the only time that somebody demonstrated their fame to me in that way. :) One of them is here (http://laurelrose.com/ZBBB/ORNSTAR.HTM). It was a charming event, and showed how down-to-earth Pam was. She never held back in giving me editorial advice. Pam lived in a hippie commune for years, walking around naked most of the time. As you can tell from one of the pictures, Pam did not even reach my shoulder, and was about 4’8” or so.
Because of Pam, I subscribed to The Sun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_(magazine)) for a decade or so, which she sometimes contributed to. Here are some other Pam links (1 (https://www.diggers.org/most/mstar_chron1.htm), 2 (http://laurelrose.com/PAMnSQUASH.HTM), 3 (http://laurelrose.com/PAM.HTM)). Pam’s husband died in the early 2000s. With each visit, she remarked on how old age was catching up with her, and how she looked forward to dying, as getting out of bed each day became harder. Pam had several children, almost all professionals (an MD and geologist among them), a daughter lived next door, and a son often lived with her. Pam did not depart lonely.
Last winter, Pam informed me that she was diagnosed with cancer, the kind that few survive. I suggested some cheap alternative treatments, fasting, and the like, but she ultimately decided against it, and died in May. I discovered her death here (https://groups.io/g/mostposts/topic/74487603?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0::,,,0,0,0,74487603), after unsuccessfully trying to contact her.
That 2013 picture has some backstory. As I was getting ready to leave, Pam excused herself to her bedroom for a moment, and came out with jewelry and lipstick on, to make a good photo with me. That is one of the most touching photos that I will ever take. I am literally on my knees, so that we could both fit into my selfie.
In Michael’s parlance (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael), Pam was one of my Task Companions. She helped my work get better, as I pursue the biggest event in the human journey (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Whatever competence I have as a writer is partly due to Pam’s influence. I loved Pam, and look forward to seeing her on the other side. Knowing Pam was one of my life’s highlights.
I have more to write about Pam, and hope to do so before long.
Best,
Wade
Before I read your post I looked at the photos. When I saw the first photo I thought, that’s New Mexico. I could tell by the hills and the vegetation, Sagebrush and maybe Piñon, and brown, sandy soil in the background and around the two of you.
Then I read your post. Sure enough, New Mexico. (I’m looking and similar terrain out my back door now.)
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Satori (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1411759&viewfull=1#post1411759):
Yes indeed, New Mexico, The Land of Enchantment. That is Pam’s yard that we are standing in. There is a big lake just a few miles away, and I thought that Pam’s neighborhood would never have water problems, but one of the last times we talked, Pam said that a local power play cut off her neighborhood’s water rights to that lake. I imagine that that scenario has played out many times in New Mexico. Not in the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate)! :)
I have quite a few connections to New Mexico, and it is an enchanting state. More than once, Albuquerque was on our list of places to live. It could still happen. On that 2013 trip, which I insisted that we take, I saw Pam, my wife’s mother, and my wife’s godmother for the last time. Anymore, I take trips to see people before they die.
While we are on the subject, here is some more on Pam. She was lived with her mother in Tennessee long ago. She told me that Al Gore was in her circles when he grew up (he spent summers on the family farm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore#Early_life_and_education) there), and he hung out with them and smoked weed with his hippie pals. Then, he began his path to politics and turned his back on those pals. I was not a fan (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#yull) of Gore.
Editing my work was revelatory for Pam. My adventures (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing) in the energy field leave little doubt that it is a big racket, and Pam immediately understood. For any Americans who have awakened a little, what we experienced was really not too unusual. Gangsters run the USA. But as Pam edited my medical racket essay (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm), the light bulb went on for her, as she saw a similar kind of racketeering in medicine. It gave her a personal paradigm shift. All of the big industries and professions are rackets, to one degree or another.
After 9/11 (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc), the USA went insane, and air travel became a dicey proposition. Brent’s (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page21?p=2087&viewfull=1#post2087) wife was a travel agent, and right after 9/11, the TSA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_Security_Administration#History_and_mission) had yet to be established, and national guardsmen and others were drafted into airport security and the like. National guardsmen were targeting travel agents to grope (“search”), and Brent’s wife refused to travel for quite some time because of it.
Pam had to attend to some family business in Tennessee (she was the executor of her family’s estate) soon after 9/11, and flew there. Afterward, Pam told me about an eight-hour nightmare in the back room of a New Mexico airport. She did not get a body cavity search, but it was close. I thought that she was joking at first. The airport security goons apparently identified Pam, a little old lady who maybe weighed 100 pounds, as some kind of terrorist threat. I never liked flying much, anyway, and burned out on all the flights I had to take over the years, but ever since 9/11, I only fly when I absolutely have to. In the past decade, I have flown only a few times, it has been years since I last flew, and I have no plans to fly anytime soon.

Hi:
Sometimes, I reflect on what I am doing, step way back from it, and try to get in the head of my target audience. In the end, I conclude that I am doing exactly what I should be. In essence, my work is really simple, and is about the possibility (heck, the technologies are likely older than I am (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground)) and desirability (I don’t know of anything with greater potential (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate)) of free energy, antigravity, and related technologies. That really is it.
But to get there takes caring (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), being awakened (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), the ability to think critically and comprehensively (scientific literacy (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) is part of that), and not much else, but very few people on Earth (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) have that package of attributes. They are the only people who can really help my effort much, and I gave up any judgment of the situation (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) long ago. Those are simply the numbers.
If people don’t have those qualities, they either never begin on the path to understanding, or get lost along the way. I have witnessed thousands upon thousands of reactions to the idea of free energy, and vanishingly few have been the least bit productive. For the very few who get past ignorance (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0), denial (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), a host of pitfalls (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) swallow up nearly all of them.
For the relative few that I seek, I am here to help. That is really all that I am trying to do (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Maybe another way will work better, but I don’t know what that might be.
Best,

The Land of Enchantment has morphed into “The Land of Entitlement.” That is the primary mindset of too many people in this state. Give me, give me, give me and take, take, take. In large measure NM exists in its present form because the Federal government, military and weapons development are the principal “industries” here. The government throws money at these industries in NM and has since about 1942. If that were to stop NM would go back to being the Wild West in the truest sense.
My wife was shaken down but TSA around 2009 at the Sunport, ie, Albuquerque International Airport, for about 2 hours once. No reason for it. She almost missed her flight because of it. They took her to a backroom too. She was asked the same questions over and over again, while they rifled through her stuff. Some of the repeated questions were about me. Who I am. What I do. I never understood why there would be any interest in me then or now. I’m a nobody.
I avoid flying like the plague, even before the covidiot-lie-teen obedience beta tests began.

Sorry to hear of your wife’s airport adventure. Sunport is usually how I fly in and out of NM, and probably where Pam got the third degree.
I could write for a long, long time on NM. My wife is descended from Coronado (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#coronado) and Columbus (https://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm) (she lived in Albuquerque for a year growing up), and I had to hear about the greatness of Spain from my in-laws for many years. I have been on Sandia Peak a few times (to the nice gift shop on top, and didn’t see anything on the slaughter of nearly a thousand Indians there in 1601 (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/6/29/1543653/-The-Erasing-of-Mass-Killings-Against-Native-Americans-by-Matt-Remle)), taken the back road back, and the like. My wife’s family generally hails from Quemado (land grants from the 1500s, and my wife still owns several acres there), but her godmother was her father’s cousin (Irish), and they are a prominent family of attorneys in Albuquerque. My childhood friend whom I have known since age four (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799) has roots there, and other pals call NM home. My wife’s grandmother lived in Santa Fe for many years (and Socorro), but died at 102 in Gallup. A corporate pal made a quasi-mystical movie in Taos in the early 2000s, an attorney who took a couple of years from his career to make the movie, and is a Hollywood attorney today. I have been around range-riding cowboys who wore their spurs indoors (which my wife’s great uncle said was bad manners, when he saw it at a Socorro restaurant where we were eating). Some of my wife’s relatives still run ranches.
Yes, from the Manhattan Project onward (including bringing in (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis?p=2173&viewfull=1#post2173) all of those Nazis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Sands_V-2_Launching_Site) :) ), the federal government has dominated the NM economy, and being raised in a military community myself, I understand the issues, and my father had to go to White Sands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Sands_Missile_Range) sometimes for work, around his NASA days (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/153-Documenting-My-Life?p=2482&viewfull=1#post2482). When Dennis and I talked at DOE hearings, it was the WIPP hearings (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull). I have been to Ghost Ranch (one of my former CFOs lives across the road from it), spent time in Four Corners, and have seen a great deal of the state. It really is something, charming in its own way, but I understand what being on the government dole does to people. The Cold War mentality was pretty twisted, particularly in military families.
Pretty much everybody has died from my wife’s parents’ generation, so there is less reason for me to go to NM today (and particularly with Pam’s death (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/160-Pam-Hanna-My-Friend-and-Editor?p=2669&viewfull=1#post2669)), but I always enjoyed it, and Bill Gates (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2648&viewfull=1#post2648) got his start there (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates#Microsoft)! :)

Wade,
It is an enchanting state from the standpoint of its natural beauty and many of its people, especially the indigenous peoples. My bad for not acknowledging that, but rather, going into the dark side of things re the negative influences.
If you do come to NM let me know. I’d very much enjoy meeting and visiting with you.

All good. I’ll put you on my list. Geez, the entire USA hardly ever left the dark side (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers)! :) Living in the shadow of Gates and Bezos is a trip, and California is the heart of darkness. I know people who have sought their Shangri-La on Earth, and they never found it. One pal is building a home on Tasmania. You can’t get much further out than that. :) Yes, NM has its dark side, but I don’t know anyplace that doesn’t.

Hi:
I have not posted up too many hiking pics lately, but it does not mean that I have not been getting out. That wind storm last month (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page27?p=2635&viewfull=1#post2635) made a mess everywhere, but on my favorite local mountain, my favorite trail was largely cleared in a few days, and that big tree was cleared out about a week later, pic attached. Those logs will outlive me. We got snow in the local mountains earlier in the month, pic attached of my nephew in the snow on the trail, and last weekend, we got our snow for the winter, pic attached, which is already melted off almost completely. Seattle snow is novel enough, and short enough, to be enjoyed nearly every time, except for a couple of winters ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page15?p=1630&viewfull=1#post1630), when it got to be a bit much.
I got out yesterday for a short hike, and it was a dreary February day, but give me that on the trail over almost any other kind of day I can have. I am well on my way to losing the weight that I need to, to get back down to my college weight. The difference between laboring to haul my fat carcass up a mountainside, concentrating on each step, and yesterday, when I hardly thought about it, is dramatic. I plan to never gain that weight again.
That said, in my old age, I seek nice seats on the trails, usually fallen logs. One of my favorite parts of my favorite trail had a log that I sat on for years, but it was a small one that has rotted quite a bit, and I have not sat there for several years. Forest trails need constant maintenance, of cutting up trees that have fallen across the trail. Sometimes, they cut them up into logs only a few feet long, or even only a foot long. After scouting in recent weeks, yesterday, I rolled one of those short logs about 50 yards down the trail, to make a new seat, right next to that rotted log, pic attached. Now, the old man can sit there again, and in the spring/summer, I can sit and admire the view. A patch of Indian pipe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropa_uniflora) comes up each summer, near that seat, a favorite violet (https://biology.burke.washington.edu/herbarium/imagecollection/taxon.php?Taxon=Viola%20sempervirens) patch will bloom in several weeks, next to the new seat, and that view will never get old. I will never stop appreciating being able to hike like that, only a 20-minute drive from my home.

Hi:
As I go down my list of what has not worked and why (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/159-What-Has-Not-Worked-and-Why?p=2647&viewfull=1#post2647), I will not necessarily follow the order that I cover them in my big essay (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). This post will be on NGOs. It is one of the earliest traps for free energy newbies, and nearly all of us had to learn about it through experience. If somebody gets past ignorance (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0), denial (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) of free energy’s possibility and desirability (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir/page4?p=2672&viewfull=1#post2672), then the next logical thought is to seek allies, preferably rich and powerful ones ( :) ), but they don’t exist. I have seen prodigious amounts of wasted effort, at best, chasing after allies and benefactors. “Rich philanthropist (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich)” is an oxymoron, as the philanthropist game (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2639&viewfull=1#post2639) is one of the biggest rackets on Earth. Some newbies get wised up to the “philanthropy” game early on, and then they think that “progressive” organizations will help. I have yet to hear of one. Governments are complete dead ends (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1), which activists quickly discover, and NGOs become the next logical candidates for them.
I began to learn that lesson within a few months of becoming Dennis’s partner (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=614&viewfull=1#post614), as we engaged a nuclear protest group (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page4?p=647&viewfull=1#post647) whose funding came from a “philanthropist” planning to make a killing in a hydroelectric “solution,” if his protestors were successful. All of my free energy pals initially thought that environmental groups (https://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists) would be natural allies, but they treated free energy like the enemy (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/89-Free-energy-psychic-abilities-and-the-skeptics-and-debunkers/page2?p=438&viewfull=1#post438), incredibly. It was one of my early indicators of how people are addicted to scarcity (https://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), but it really comes down to the integrity issue (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=1280&viewfull=1#post1280). Those people don’t care enough to engage the reality of the world we live in, and how to change it. They are content to hack at branches, putting on a show of how they really care, when they really don’t. It took me many years to understand that I was just seeing a variation of my journey’s primary lesson (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708).
My target audience is primarily what I have called disillusioned idealists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), and they often got their disillusionment by joining allegedly idealistic organizations such as NGOs, to gradually become disillusioned as they realized how they all sold out their ideals for survival, and those so-called “philanthropists” often ended up funding them, as a PR move.
I was recently made aware of a scandal in Doctors Without Borders (https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/07/15/864544382/doctors-without-borders-responds-to-charges-of-racism-from-its-staff), and the deeply embedded racism in its ranks. All of them have skeletons like that in their closets. I know of no exceptions, and I could write for quite some time on the corruption in the Red Cross (which enabled the Holocaust), the Salvation Army, Oxfam, CIA front organizations such as World Vision (http://www.onwardoverland.com/articles/worldvision.html), how the Peace Corps is a tool of empire (https://ahealedplanet.net/racket.htm#racket), like missionaries are, in a form of “soft” imperialism, and on and on and on, such as those phony “human rights” groups (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#hrw) or imperial PR outfits such as the White Helmets (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#helmets1). For somebody looking to make a dent, our world is a desert of apathy, deception, self-servingness, and the like. I am offering an alternative (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and am making it as easy as I can for the people I seek (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), but there is no substitute for doing the work. I don’t require any money to join the choir, but something far more valuable: integrity and sentience, which are in very short supply on Earth today, but I don’t ask anybody to be a hero (https://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#heroes).
NGOs, charities, environmentalists, and so-called “mystical (https://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage)” organizations are no help at all, and, at best, are traps for idealists looking to make a dent.

Wade

Hi:
I am not sure if I have made the connection explicit before, but I have made two observations many times:
We live in a world of scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming);
Personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708).
The second issue is dependent on the first one. In a world of scarcity and fear, there can be a great price to act with integrity. The people at the head of my pantheon (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042) did it, and they could pay an awesome price for their acts of integrity, including shortened lives. In a world of scarcity and fear, when the decision is between acting with integrity or serving one’s self-interest, self-interest wins nearly every time. That is why I state that the situations that I write about, such as global rackets that run the world economy (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets), is 1% conspiracy and 99% complicity. That is why the few who truly act with integrity are like beacons in the darkness.
In the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), when scarcity and fear are no longer the driving forces of our societies, acting with integrity won’t be so costly, so we will enjoy far more of that. It is primarily an economic issue.

Bill Gates (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2648&viewfull=1#post2648) has learned his media lessons well. Pump billions into media organizations, and get endless fawning coverage (https://www.cjr.org/criticism/gates-foundation-journalism-funding.php), presidential access (https://money.yahoo.com/bill-gates-china-climate-change-china-122845663.html), etc. It fits Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday) to a T. I am seeing about an article a day on Gates, who can solve all of the world’s problems, if the world will just let him. I wrote about his energy views more than ten years ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates), and this energy interview (https://www.wired.co.uk/article/bill-gates-interview-climate-crisis) came out this week. Again, Gates is supremely ignorant if he is not aware of the free energy issue. Bill and his billionaire buddies have become much richer during the pandemic (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/billionaires-profiting-pandemic/). As you can see in that energy interview and elsewhere, there is definitely a lunatic fringe, such as the QAnon people and their “leaders (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611),” and the tabloid-conspiracist “anti-vaxxers.” I shudder when they mention free energy. Their insanity makes it easy to lump all opposition into those camps. What Gates and friends do is entirely misrepresent the professional opposition to vaccination, especially compulsory vaccination.
If people actually study the issue, the professional opposition to vaccination, such as covered in this book (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2484&viewfull=1#post2484), takes on issues that the mainstream promoters of vaccination won’t touch, such as:
At best, vaccination confers a kind of fake immunity, in which an acute reaction (which means that the immune system is doing its job) is traded for a permanent chronic autoimmune reaction. Antibody production is a misleading measure of immunity, and much of the science of vaccination is a trade secret, carefully guarded by the vaccine manufacturers. That is surreal. And, of course, all vaccine makers are legally protected from any product liability. It is one of the neatest rackets that I know of.
There is no disease for which vaccination can claim credit for conquering. Either vaccination came along when the disease was already in steep decline, both in incidence and virulence, and places that were not vaccinated had the same declines in incidence and virulence, or infectious diseases, for which there was never a vaccine introduced, declined just like the ones that were vaccinated for (such as scarlet fever). Improvements in sanitation, hygiene, nutrition, and treatment while the acute reaction happens, are responsible for conquering those diseases, not vaccination.
There are awesome conflicts of interest in the vaccination field, going back to Pasteur (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#pasteur), who sought fame and wealth above all. In one of many examples of how shaky vaccination science is, the gold standard of medical testing is the treatment versus a placebo; vaccination testing does not do that, however, and compares negative reactions to reactions from other vaccines, and if it is not greater than other reactions, the vaccine is pronounced “safe.” Nothing else in medicine has been able to get away with that.
In that energy interview, you can see Gates talk about anaphylactic shock as the vaccine reaction to be concerned with, but that is the tip of the iceberg. What the professional opposition is concerned with is not the immediate vaccine reaction so much as the long-term chronic effects, which include the skyrocketing autoimmune diseases, and other conditions such as our skyrocketing autism rates. The vaccine establishment rarely even addresses the long-term issues, and vaccine testing does not even look for it.
As the author of that book concluded, the big problem with vaccination is that it is one of many instances of capitalism run amuck. Capitalism and medicine make for very poor bedfellows.
The professional vaccine opposition does not go there much, but I do, which is that the entire germ theory of disease may rest on a shaky foundation, again, going back to Pasteur (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm). “Impossible” microscopes (1 (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), 2 (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens)) that are nearly a century old have been studiously ignored by orthodoxy, and the findings by using those microscopes point to very different dynamics at the subcellular level than orthodoxy describes.
There is one hell of a lot to be concerned about with vaccination, and the propaganda promoted by Gates and friends does not even touch those concerns. Gates is arguably the most visible vaccination promoter on Earth today (along with his pet (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/truth-rfk-jr-david-martin-fauci-moderna-vaccine/), Fauci), and you can never over-vaccinate (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-third-shot-coronavirus-variants/), in Gates’s eyes.
In his energy interview (https://www.wired.co.uk/article/bill-gates-interview-climate-crisis), Gates recommended using heat pumps. He surely was referring to the crappy air-to-air ones, not the world’s best heating system (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), which was wiped out in his home town, in the biggest take-down of alternative energy ever (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run), just as he was ripping and tearing on his way to becoming a billionaire. You can imagine the irony I feel when I see Gates’s pontificating like that.
This latest (https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/02/19/how-a-winter-storm-tested-texas-go-it-alone-attitude-470202?utm_source=pocket-newtab) energy disaster, in Texas this time (https://www.texasobserver.org/nine-texans-on-how-they-survived-a-frozen-week/?utm_source=pocket-newtab), is just one of many that are coming. How about the permanent solution, which will be the biggest event in the human journey (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5)?

Hi:
To my recent post (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=2678&viewfull=1#post2678) on scarcity, fear, and integrity, God bless the dogged belief in humanity that Dennis and Brian had, as well as others in my pantheon (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042), but it was a delusion, if a noble one. In a world of scarcity and fear, very few people are going to care about anything other than their immediate self-interest, which can extend to their in-group’s (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) welfare.
But, that was only part of the issue, as far as the free energy pursuit goes. What none of us really understood in our early days of our free energy quest was the magnitude (https://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion) of the free energy issue. It has Epochal significance and more. The arrival of free energy for public awareness and use will constitute the biggest event in the human journey, by far. I have called it super-Epochal, as it would initiate the super-Epoch of abundance, of a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev).
In order to even comprehend it, people have to discard almost everything they “know,” as the dominant ideologies (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) are all founded on the scarcity principle. They succeed because they appeal to egocentrism, even materialism and its variants, although they are more sophisticated than the population management ideologies of nationalism, capitalism, and organized religion. We can’t get there via egocentric paths. Dennis and his businessman’s approach (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=710&viewfull=1#post710) never had a prayer, as it appeals to people’s self-interest, as do the organized religion and “Patriot” approaches, which Dennis tried repeatedly. New Agers (https://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) are often outright narcissistic, free energy inventors regularly go megalomaniac (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and the criminality (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2480&viewfull=1#post2480), naïveté, and lack of discernment in the free energy field has been something to behold. The GCs hardly need to lift a finger (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#manage) to keep a lid on it all.
Almost nobody on Earth (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) can reach productive understandings of these issues, as their minds and spirits are too ego-bound. I have stated that the farmer background of Dennis and Mr. Professor (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574) had something to it, as far as preparing them for their journeys, as they had a naïve faith in humanity, and a farmer’s honesty. But so did Ralph (https://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm) and Brian, so being a farmer isn’t the answer. But farming is of the Third Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3), and I think that it is going to be too much of a stretch for Third Epoch peoples to think in Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) terms. Maybe some can, but they are going to be rarer than Fourth Epoch people who can even imagine (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) the Fifth Epoch.
Coming to these understandings can seem like the booby prize, but the love and enlightenment (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) approach may be the only one with a prayer, and people have to use their hearts and brains for that to work. Not many do, as they settle for the delusions that feed them. It is just what it is, and I stopped judging it (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) long ago.
Eliminate scarcity and fear as the foundation of human societies, the world as we know it will end, and something like heaven on Earth will arrive, but time is short (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).

Hi:
Related to my recent post (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2679&viewfull=1#post2679) on billionaire “philanthropists” and vaccination, here is another study (https://vaxxter.com/new-survey-of-vaccine-free-group-exposes-long-term-impact-of-vaccination-policies-on-public-health-by-greg-glaser-and-pat-oconnell/) on vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. Consistent with prior studies (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2218&viewfull=1#post2218), the difference in chronic conditions between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations is stunning. Vaccinated children have several times the chronic conditions of unvaccinated, and in adults, it is ten times as much. That isn’t some tiny statistical significance. And consistent with prior work (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#sids), Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is unknown in unvaccinated populations. Some of the stats are even hard for me to believe, such as no heart disease, diabetes, or cancer among the unvaccinated adults.
Surreal times.

Hi:
As people can imagine, I am asked a lot about vaccines and COVID these days. I kind of predicted 9/11 (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sunny), I still had my email address on my site (https://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) then, the attacks became increasingly vicious and insane, but the final straw was a “friend (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page10?p=823&viewfull=1#post823).” But also, 9/11 woke a lot of people up, and quite a few of my pals came to me soon after 9/11. But beginning to learn how our world really works is not easy, and when a nation is going insane and neo-Nazi is not the best time to begin that journey of understanding. However, traumatic events are often how people awaken (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765), and that is a mixed bag.
I have been writing on vaccination since the 1990s (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#vaccination), when I first published my medical racket essay. Back in 2015, I began an ongoing thread on vaccination (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184) at my forum. I also started a pandemic thread (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/145-The-Coronavirus-Pandemic?p=2224&viewfull=1#post2224) last year. I have been writing recently on the billionaire “philanthropists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2639&viewfull=1#post2639),” led by Mr. Vax, Bill Gates (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2648&viewfull=1#post2648), who never met a vaccine that he didn’t like. Censorship is in overdrive (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/white-house-enlists-social-media-suppress-vaccine-misinformation/), but we have long lived in Orwell’s world (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell).
Now the vaccine passport issue is rearing its head (1 (https://theconversation.com/why-covid-19-immunity-passports-may-violate-us-law-138165), 2 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/12/15/vaccine-cards-discrimination-immunity-passports/), 3 (https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/covid-vaccine-passports-uk-holiday-b1798090.html)), and if that happens, I’ll never travel again. Some fear that it will extend to going to the grocery store.
As I have stated repeatedly, this grim state of affairs is 1% conspiracy and 99% complicity (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=2677&viewfull=1#post2677). We are all responsible for what is happening, which means that we can all do something about it. Staying fast asleep until the wolf is at the door is not going to be very successful. What is happening today, with the tabloid-level vaccine hysteria (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2679&viewfull=1#post2679) on the right, civil liberties people on the left, and a thundering herd (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings), lining up for their vaccinations, is just more of the same in our sorry human journey.
The only solution that I see, to this and nearly all other human problems, is the arrival of the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and only free energy can do that. Everything else is hacking at branches. A lot of people began to awaken in the past year, but will it be enough to help avoid the catastrophe (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth)? We’ll see.
Best,
Wade

This is esoteric information about vaccines, so not many are aware of or would credit it even if they were aware, but if you haven't come across it yet, I think you might find it of interest.

Hi Onawah (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1413272&viewfull=1#post1413272):
Well, another reason to not have vaccines. :)
I have read of soul-erasure techniques and the like for many years, and nothing would surprise me in these areas. The dark path (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) is dark indeed.
For me, I try to not focus on dark pather antics as much as assisting the light, back to that 1% conspiracy and 99% complicity idea (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/120-The-Integrity-Issue?p=2677&viewfull=1#post2677). While people refuse to take responsibility for their lives, and while personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708), it makes for easy openings for dark pather strategies, similar to those gray beings in the hellish Roads world (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115). If people acted with integrity and sentience, it would be Game Over for the dark pathers, but in a world of scarcity and fear, so few do.
Eliminating the human conscience would be right in line with dark pather goals. I see all of this as only being relevant to Earth, but it is where I currently live. If they were successful in erasing the soul (or “untethering” it), then Earth would become soulless, another dark speck in our universe. It is a valid path to take, although I would not plan to take any vacations there. If that happened, then Earth would likely become a place for incarnations of the very lowest astral plane beings, as a kind of “bottom out” incarnation, on their trip back to the godhead.
Could Earth turn into a kind of hell school like that? Sure it could, and we are well on the way there. But, I want to help manifest something a little different. :)
Best,
Wade

Agreed. At this point, just getting the info out to as many as possible is helping to prevent the dark path from manifesting.
Part of the challenge seems to be in finding what info different individuals will resonate to enough to convince and cause an awakening.
Knowing that Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy, predicted the Covid vaccine dangers 100 years ago may strike just that right note with some, which is why I shared it here.

Thanks Onawah (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1413299&viewfull=1#post1413299):
I have heard of so many elite contingency plans since the 1980s, including:
Depopulating Earth with a pandemic or famine (while avoiding nuclear war, which would mean Game Over for civilization), to get it down to 500 million or so, to relieve the burden on Earth’s ecosystems, and those 500 million would be a slave class to the GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc). It is “coincidentally” a similar number to what Peak Oilers argue for (https://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity). Any volunteers? :)
If things get really rough (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), they already have underground and off-world survival enclaves. One member of my circle was approached by them for their terraform Mars project (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars).
Turn Earth into a global surveillance state, and trickle out some of their technologies, but something that can still be monopolized and keep the capitalist framework intact, such as that Lockheed fusion reactor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_Compact_Fusion_Reactor), where it can be sold for $1 billion a pop.
Something along the lines of the hellish Roads world (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115) scenario.
My friend was kidnapped and given an exotic technology show (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173), as part of a contingency plan to bring those technologies to the public. My friend would be the front man, and the tricklers (called “White Hats (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page3?p=623&viewfull=1#post623),” but they seem to be a shade of gray) would remain in the shadows.
Really evil crap, such as what Steiner referred to. Some of it can mess you up to just hear about it.
Prepare the public for the ET presence. The two basic factions want to either welcome the ETs or portray them as the ultimate terrorists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis?p=2177&viewfull=1#post2177). The uptick in official acknowledgements lately has been somewhat interesting.
I have also heard many variations of them. The global elite are real, they did not achieve their positions through virtue, but via keenly honed vices (violence, secrecy, deception, greed, arrogance, dark pather ways (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), etc.), but there is also dissension in their ranks, hence my friend’s little show. Elites generally have twisted views, which come with being elites. Almost none of them can even imagine the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), just like everybody else, even though they possess the technology to help manifest it.
Very heroic people in my circles (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/139-The-Cast-of-Characters-on-My-Journey?p=2042&viewfull=1#post2042) have tried to awaken the public to evil activities, in which the public is the primary victim, but virtually nobody is home. That goes for Gary (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398), Rodney (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1427&viewfull=1#post1427), and Ralph (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2266&viewfull=1#post2266). The public is sound asleep, and the prospect of stampeding off the cliff (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings) does not seem to bother them, as they engage in their egocentric pursuits. As Rodney said, he once believed in the Easter Bunny (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1440&viewfull=1#post1440), too.
Dennis tried to wake people up to the potential, but that ultimately failed, as insanely heroic (https://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany) as his efforts were. I am not trying to awaken the public with my work. They have to come to me already awakened (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309). The public will begin to awaken when free energy is delivered into their lives. It has always been this way (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink).
What the evil alleged contingency plans have in common is attracting the conspiracists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=75&viewfull=1#post75), and they don’t have the right stuff. They tend to think like victims (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), and the recent QAnon phenomenon, led by the New Age-conspiracist talking heads (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611), makes it very clear how they don’t have the right stuff. I would not be surprised to discover that Steele and Parkes (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2620&viewfull=1#post2620) are on the disinformation payroll. Conspiracism tends to make people into spectators, not agents of change, as they boo the bad guys and cheer the so-called good guys, but it was surreal to see them turn Trump into some kind of hero.
A major delusion about those evil elite plans is thinking that they can be exposed and defeated. The global elites hide in the shadows and cannot be outmaneuvered. They are the masters of their games, which is why they are on top.
My work is more than 90% about manifesting this future (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), and less than 10% about avoiding this one (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115).

Hi:
It is time for an imperial post. Joe Biden has long been in the MIC’s back pocket, and this latest bombing of Syria is no surprise (https://jacobinmag.com/2021/02/joe-biden-syria-airstrikes-minimum-wage). Obama began it (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#syria), after overthrowing Libya’s government (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya), and Biden is just doing more of the same. If there is truly an “American Way,” this is it. So far, we have committed the crime of the 21st century (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), as Noam has noted (https://sputniknews.com/politics/201510281029239831-chomsky-us-iraq-invasion-crime-obama/), with no sign of stopping. Empires never commit crimes, only “mistakes (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#mistake).”
Ever since carving up the Ottoman Empire (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=271&viewfull=1#post271), after the UK switched to oil for its navy in 1911 (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#churchill1), it has been a series of never-ending interventions by the West in Hydrocarbon Country. This is what empires do, and we’ll see if humanity survives these years (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). Trump may very well have been the best American president (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page6?p=1991&viewfull=1#post1991), as Assad said. The Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) can come none too soon.

Hi:
As I have written before, I could write all-day, every day, on current events, from the pandemic (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/145-The-Coronavirus-Pandemic?p=2224&viewfull=1#post2224) to vaccination (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184) to the USA’s imperial behavior (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#connection) to its endemic racism (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page24?p=2277&viewfull=1#post2277) to the current insanity of identity politics (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page26?p=2431&viewfull=1#post2431) (including active promotion of transsexuality (https://www.aol.com/megyn-kelly-says-she-pulled-170832074.html) to children, and even stranger stuff (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page27?p=2614&viewfull=1#post2614)) to the brainwashing media (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#brainwashing) to the billionaire “philanthropists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2639&viewfull=1#post2639)” to the GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1167&viewfull=1#post1167) to Global Warming (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=1797&viewfull=1#post1797) to the Sixth Mass Extinction (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth1), which is happening before our eyes (https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/campaigns/giantsclub/human-destruction-wildlife-decline-b1808084.html), to the uselessness of retail politics to the global rackets (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets) to the crazed conspiracism to blind structuralism (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=75&viewfull=1#post75) to science (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox) and spirituality (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm), and on and on and on.
I could easily spend my days doing that, but I am after something much larger: the biggest event in the human journey (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I am not getting any younger, and I am going to try to make the biggest dent that I can (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) with the years I have left.
But I want to comment a little on current events, and how the Epochal framework (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) that I have developed can really help make sense of current events, extracting the signal from the noise, and seeing what is important.
The Fourth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) is only about three centuries old, and the vast majority of humanity still lives in the Third (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3), although nobody does entirely, as the effects of the Fourth Epoch are everywhere (and there are no pure Second Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2) societies on Earth today). For thousands of years, slavery (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning) was normal, women were second-class citizens (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1), and living to be an adult was a less-than-50% proposition. That all changed (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) with the arrival of the Fourth Epoch, but there is plenty of “cultural momentum” and even evolutionary momentum that is making the transition painful, and the so-called Red States (largely rural with agrarian echoes ) still have one foot in the Third Epoch, which is normal.
In recent days, I have read of the fall of another Hollywood icon (https://theattic.jezebel.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-joss-whedon-and-the-myth-of-the-h-1846288271), to likely valid charges of sexism, about California’s “free state (https://daily.jstor.org/slavery-in-a-free-state-the-case-of-california/)” past, a Harvard professor (https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-inquiry/seeking-the-true-story-of-the-comfort-women-j-mark-ramseyer) who made the (completely unconvincing) case that Korean women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese were actually voluntary wage laborers, another academic attempt (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal) to absolve humanity from any responsibility for the Neanderthal extinction (https://www.yahoo.com/news/neanderthals-died-earths-magnetic-poles-123200659.html), and the latest energy disaster (https://www.texasmonthly.com/news/what-went-wrong-with-texass-main-electric-grid-and-could-it-have-been-prevented/).
When I see stories like those, I think: “This is what scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) look like,” and “becoming a sentient species (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) is not easy.”
In the Fifth Epoch, all of the above becomes meaningless, like infants’ struggling over who gets the pacifier. A vastly higher level of awareness awaits us, in which the human potential is finally reached, and it will be based on abundance and love (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748). It has to be. The current path leads to catastrophe, the kind that our species may not survive (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3). I think we can make it, but time is short (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).

Hi:
I recently summarized my plans for the presentation of the Epochs (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page4?p=2667&viewfull=1#post2667). Boy, have I been reading a lot lately, even more than my usual clip. I have been reading about the Scientific Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and rise of Europe, the rise and fall of cities, and other topics germane to my big essay revision. I am kind of excited about it.
One theme I am going to stress more in my essay update is energy levels and the Epochs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable). It really can make things clearer that tend to get muddied in what I see in anthropological and historical studies. Various scientists and scholars make a lot of so-called hunter-gatherers who were different, such as the Calusa of Florida, the Pacific Northwest culture, some California tribes, and Gravettian mammoth hunters (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gravettian). I have seen the case made that the usual categories that anthropologists use are faulty, as one size does not fit all for hunter-gatherers, but I think that they got lost in the weeds. The energy levels are important, not whether it was a so-called hunter-gatherer or farmer. What those “exceptional” hunter-gatherers had in common were local and stable energy supplies, at least until they wiped them out. The important distinction, as far as human culture went, was if the society was sedentary or nomadic, not whether their calories came from horticulture or “hunting and gathering.” The rise and fall of cities and civilizations was always dependent on the energy issue.
The Calusa were not really hunter-gatherers as much as they were fish herders. They built lagoons for fish to live in, and that became their staple. Similarly, the Pacific Northwest culture lived off of salmon runs. Some California tribes were able to either live off of marine resources or acorns. Living off marine resources was often like living on a migration route, like mammoth villages did. It was sometimes sustainable, so those peoples were able to become sedentary or semi-sedentary, and sedentism is what gave rise to possessions, social hierarchies, and the like. If the energy supply did not allow for sedentism, then they were nomadic. People were not nomadic if they did not need to be. Gravettian mammoth villages lasted while the mammoths did, and then it was back to a nomadic lifestyle. The acorn economy worked while the climate supported it, and the same went for marine resources. Humans could wipe out those local energy supplies, and then they had to become nomadic again. The big social changes happened because of sedentism, not so much what the energy source was.
Similarly, the rise of Europe was highly dependent on energy, long before the Industrial Revolution happened. The Scientific Revolution was dependent on it. The spread of watermills, the world-conquering sailing ship, and the agricultural revolution (all unprecedented in the human journey) predated the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions, and they arguably would not have happened without them. Big subjects, which I plan to do justice to in the essay update.
Back to work.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
This morning, I got a link to this (https://files.constantcontact.com/f27ad3a5201/42d65627-c805-4cb6-ab5a-c2a4102a4d45.pdf) from Greer’s organization (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/97-Steven-Greer-s-Latest-UFO-ET-Disclosure-Effort?p=938&viewfull=1#post938). I did a little surfing, and this little crew (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611) did not miss a beat since Trump’s departure, with mass arrests and the “Days of Darkness” happening just in time for Easter! :) Why any of them have any credibility these days is beyond me, but the tabloid New Age-conspiracist crowd laps it up, as I am constantly sent stuff on it. I am so tired of it, and even Greer wears me out at times, with stuff that he has been recycling for more than 20 years.
It is all obsessed with elite machinations. The GCs definitely exist, and they have their contingency plans (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2684&viewfull=1#post2684), but there is really not much that anybody can do to foul them up, other than the basic practice of acting with integrity and sentience. I don’t even care much what the GCs are up to. This obsession with elite activities goes back to the beginnings of civilization, and what it tends to do is make people into spectators, usually gossipy and paranoid ones. Those obsessions are essentially an abdication of responsibility to act with positive intention, which is what Brian was about (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus). It is the difference between acting like a victim and acting like a creator (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), and creators create with love (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). Looking for needles (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle)…

Hi:
I read RFK, Jr.’s book on his family (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39074272-american-values). Interesting. I have noticed, however, that his site cites Fox News a lot, and I recently referred to a post from his site that has been taken down on Israeli vaccines. Israel has the most aggressive vaccine campaign on Earth, which has been called “waging a war (https://www.businessinsider.in/science/news/israel-is-waging-a-war-on-the-unvaccinated-as-it-races-to-be-the-worlds-first-inoculated-nation/articleshow/81114550.cms)” on the unvaccinated. RFK Jr.’s site ran an article on COVID vaccine deaths, which apparently has been debunked (https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2021/03/coronavirus-claims-pfizer-s-vaccine-is-more-dangerous-than-covid-19-itself-debunked.html), and the article was removed from their site. I’ll be more cautious on citing their work in the future.

Hi:
I have been working on that essay on receiving a fair hearing (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/155-Receiving-a-Fair-Hearing?p=2598&viewfull=1#post2598). It won’t be a tame essay. I have also been taking numerous “tangents” lately, and studying a lot of material not related to that essay, but it is usually related to the big essay. I have also taken some “tangents” into JFK and Allen Dulles (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles), but I don’t see it as that tangential, and in my essay update, JFK’s murder will become a little more prominent, showing how retail politics in the USA really works.
Below is something that I drafted this morning, a little snippet of what is coming.
Best,
Wade
In the late 1800s, two prominent scientists engaged in what came to be called the Bone Wars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_Wars), as they fought each other for precedence in their fossil discoveries, in what may be the tawdriest chapter in paleontology, although it has plenty of competition.
In the 1870s, James Croll (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#croll) proposed that variations in Earth’s orbit impacted the ice age that had recently been recognized in humanity’s recent past. By 1900, his idea was discarded and forgotten by orthodoxy. In 1913, Milutin Milanković (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#milankovitch) proposed a similar idea, which gradually was accepted, and became the primary explanation in the 1970s, a full century after Croll proposed it.
In 1905, Konstantin Mereschkowski proposed that complex cells arose from simple ones via symbiosis (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mitochondria). He was ridiculed by his peers for his ideas, which were not vindicated until the 1980s, when Lynn Margulis’s endosymbiotic hypothesis was finally embraced by orthodoxy. Margulis also endured a generation of fierce criticism from orthodoxy, before her hypothesis was finally accepted.
In 1908, Kristian Birkeland (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#birkeland) proposed an explanation for the auroras in Earth’s atmosphere. His hypothesis was ridiculed and attacked by the day’s leading scientists, and he died in obscurity in 1917, with his hypothesis fiercely dismissed. It was not until Hannes Alfvén won the 1970 Nobel Prize in Physics that Birkeland’s hypothesis was finally vindicated.
In 1912, Alfred Wegener (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wegener) proposed the idea that the continents moved, which became the “continental drift” hypothesis. His idea was harshly dismissed by orthodoxy, and he died during fieldwork in Greenland in 1930, while working in his primary field of meteorology. It was not until the 1960s that the rise of plate tectonic theory proved him right.
In 1865, Gregor Mendel published a paper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregor_Mendel#Initial_reception_of_Mendel's_work) which is the first scientific work on genetics. It was ignored by orthodoxy until the 20th century when Mendel was finally recognized as the “father of modern genetics,” long after he died.
The theory of evolution not only prevailed soon after the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859, but Charles Darwin subscribed to the uniformitarian views of Charles Lyell (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lyell). Consequently, Darwin denied the idea of mass extinctions, which became a Darwinian dogma that was not overturned in orthodoxy for more than a century, particularly for English-speaking scientists. It was not until the bolide impact hypothesis, which was fiercely attacked by orthodoxy, ever since it was first proposed in 1980 to explain the dinosaur extinction (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction), that orthodoxy finally began to accept the idea of mass extinctions. Many scientists quickly went overboard the other way, and tried to explain all mass extinctions with bolide events, although it appears that the one that wiped out the dinosaurs was the only one big enough to cause a mass extinction.
All of those examples above were for scientific ideas that had no immediate economic impact, and so were relatively “innocent.” None of them are trivial theories, but form the foundations of several branches of today’s science. Scientists who derive hypotheses and data that challenge the world’s economic empires can have hell to pay and even suffer shortened lives, particularly in energy and medicine, and some examples follow.

Hi:
The index for my fair hearings essay currently looks like this:
Introduction
The Necessity of Fair Hearings
Why Fair Hearings Have Been Rare
Fair Hearings in Science and Medicine
Fair Hearings in Technology
Orthodox, Structuralist, and Conspiracist Approaches
Fair Hearings in the Media, History, and Politics
Fair Hearings in the Paranormal
Conclusion
Endnotes
My draft of the first three chapters looks like the below.
Introduction
During my journey, in which I had a gradual awakening that began at age 12 (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), to then become radicalized during my free energy revolutionary days (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), to then engage in continual study since 1990 (https://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), for nearly every subject that I encountered, I noticed that important issues rarely received fair hearings. Political-economic bias and other human foibles regularly trumped a quest for the truth. Orthodoxy often prevailed due to issues of wealth, power, and inertia, not its virtues; alternatives often were banished to the margins and worse, and not because they were necessarily invalid. The reasoning behind such banishment could be orthodoxy’s protecting itself from challenges to its legitimacy. Long ago, I wrote an essay (https://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm) on the layman’s quandary, in evaluating orthodoxy and alternatives, and this essay will explore fair hearings in orthodoxy, as well as on the fringes. It is one of the most important subjects on Earth today.
The Necessity of Fair Hearings
If the pursuit of the truth is important, then issues need fair hearings. A fair hearing means that all evidence and points of view are considered. Some views may matter more than others, based on experience, knowledge, initiative, talent, integrity, and the like. But it can be a perilous undertaking, to determine what evidence is considered or rejected, whose testimony is the most relevant, and what the proper interpretations are.
In the disciplines of science, scholarship, law, and the like, professional standards ideally guide practice. When those standards are adhered to, the truth can be credibly pursued. Such standards have been developed over centuries and even millennia of practice.
In science, the goal is understanding how things work, from galaxies to atoms, from volcanoes to ecosystems to organisms to cells to societies. In scholarship, the goal can be to answer questions regarding current events and history. In the legal profession, the ideal is truth and justice.
If those disciplines’ ideals are adhered to, they can help our world become more understandable, healthy, and fair. That may seem too obvious to mention, but works that address such issues sometimes have to emphasize them (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#truth), to help ensure that those goals remain paramount, note the failings to achieve them, and suggest solutions.
Why Fair Hearings Have Been Rare
Humans are social animals, and social animals are social for a reason (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason): enhanced survival and reproduction prospects for the society. Earth’s first community was the bacterial colony, and they have existed, seemingly unchanged, for billions of years. The history of life on Earth has numerous key innovations that, once invented, have been reproduced to this day, virtually unchanged. While some inventions have been critical events, there has also been great resistance to change, as biological features are “conserved,” such as DNA, metabolic processes, complex cells, multicellularity, and body plans (“phyla” for animals and “divisions” for plants). The first product of human craftsmanship that survived for anthropologists to study is the Acheulean hand axe (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#acheulean), which was made the same way for more than one million years. Artifacts are cultural indicators, and human culture may have changed little during that “boring million years (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#boring1)”, as humans found what worked and did not change it.
With the rise of behavioral modernity (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap), humanity’s toolsets dramatically changed, and today’s scientific thought on the matter is that humans were likely as intelligent 60,000 years ago as they are today, and maybe even smarter. From hunter-gatherers to the first farmers to the first professions to today’s world, what has separated those stages of the human journey have been surplus energy and tool sophistication, not innate human intelligence. While innovation has been critical to the rise of humanity to planetary dominance, there has also been the inertia of not modifying what has proven to work, particularly when the margin for survival is thin. Somewhat paradoxically, key innovations, whether they were by life or humans, have generally come from the fringes (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#innovation), when an innovation enhanced the survival prospects of marginal actors, who could then dominate.
In hunter-gatherer societies, innovations were always risky; the hunter-gatherer toolset was simple and rarely changed. With the rise of settled life, primarily because plants were domesticated, then innovation dramatically accelerated. Selective breeding (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#natufian), metallurgy (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#plow), cities (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer), professions (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#professions), literacy (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing), and empires (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#akkadian) arose with a humanity that could stay in one place, collect possessions, and easily communicate. Humanity’s collective intelligence and toolset raced ahead in ways that a hunter-gatherer would have never imagined (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine3). That trend further accelerated when the energy of fossil fuels was tapped (humanity.htm#domesday), which led to features of industrial life that were similarly unimaginable (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine4) to peoples of agrarian civilizations. What I am doing as I write this, typing in words that I can publish to a global audience in seconds, was similarly unimaginable just two centuries ago, and unimaginable to my grandfather when he was growing up (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas). I may have obtained some writing genes from him, but a century ago, in his wildest dreams, he could not imagine what I am doing today. The changes that he saw in his lifetime are hard to believe even for me. He lived in sod hut as a child, and one of his sons helped put men on the Moon (https://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary). I witnessed his difficulty in relinquishing the mores of his agrarian conditioning, which included its rigid social roles for the sexes.
Innovators often struggled with inertia, suppression, and theft, and relatively few innovations become viable. In a world of scarcity and fear, innovations rarely received fair hearings, or anything that does not align with orthodoxy. There have been understandable reasons for some of that, but the failure to receive a fair hearing might be humanity’s primary existential risk today.
We’ll see how much it all changes by the time I publish it, likely this month.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Since I decided to take a year off to write, in the wake of losing my job, I have been doing a lot of conceptual work on my big essay revision, thinking about it, reading gobs of material, and not really getting too much writing done on it. This has been my style for many years.
I can tell that I did it as a child, as much as a child can, as I devoured books and encyclopedias (the tabloids that my mother brought home (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102) comprised merely more grist for the mill). I was a comprehensivist in training (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/9-Comprehensive-writings-analyses), but didn’t know what that was until 2003, when I was introduced to Fuller’s work (https://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller). I was an information and learning junkie, and what I did in my life, and professionally, was load up on as much information as I could, and let it gestate. It was only after those processes that I could see the big picture, and that was when my creative ability came into play, as I could design a system in a flash (https://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes). It was not always a comfortable process, as I could almost overload myself, but I learned to trust the process. I learned that in time, it would all begin to fit together, I would see the big picture, and sometimes a new picture that had not been seen before.
In forming their hypotheses, scientists often do something similar. They take in all the known facts relating to something, whether it was cellular or galactic processes, and then they would come up with a hypothesis that connected all of those dots, in a quest for causation and experiments that would either falsify or confirm the hypothesis. It is not an easy trick. Confirmation is always tentative, as the next experiment could falsify the hypothesis, while falsification is usually fatal, particularly if repeatedly produced via different experiments.
Lately, I have been studying a pretty vast range of material, including:
Evolutionary dynamics, from subcellular to ecosystem levels;
The Scientific Revolution;
The Industrial Revolution;
Cosmology;
Anthropology, particularly early civilizations (I just finished this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53122357-four-lost-cities) for instance);
Science, in theory and practice.
My pattern has been that when I am in the ingestion and digestion process (which never really ends), I don’t get much writing done, but when that is finished, I then go on a writing tear. I am getting close to going on that tear. Right now, I have the Scientific Revolution material close to where I want it to be in my head, and right now, I am rolling around where I will put it. Some will go in my upcoming essay on having a fair hearing (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/155-Receiving-a-Fair-Hearing?p=2598&viewfull=1#post2598), some will go into the big essay’s early chapters, and some will go into my rise of Europe chapter (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal35). None of it will change my essay’s thrust, but just go broader and deeper into certain topics. The early chapters, some of which will be new, and the human journey chapters, particularly since the arrival of behaviorally modern humans, will be where the biggest changes to the big essay will be.
The last several chapters of my big essay, beginning with our adventures (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), is not going to change much. Those chapters comprise most of my original contributions to the issue, and my views have really not changed much for 30 years. About the only real changes have been around the dawning realization on just how monumental the free energy issue really is (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev). If we really had any idea of how big it was, we may have never sallied forth and gotten annihilated. In some ways, our ignorance was a blessing, back in Boston in 1986 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=613&viewfull=1#post613). Now that I think about it, it is 35 years ago this month when that voice led me to Dennis (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page2?p=601&viewfull=1#post601). Where does a life go? In ways, it is hard to believe that it was 35 years ago. In some ways, it seems like yesterday.

Hi:
I have to write something. The subject is a close cousin to how the crucified pioneers are buried in obscurity, with their work ultimately stolen by orthodoxy (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#steal), and it is related to my upcoming fair hearing (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/155-Receiving-a-Fair-Hearing?p=2598&viewfull=1#post2598) essay.
When I wrote Brian’s NASA biography (https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/oleary_brian.pdf), I had him write the sentence on his Martian credentials, as it was his unique distinction. Immediately after publication, a leading space debunker challenged Brian’s Martian credentials (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/91-Scientific-literacy/page3?p=556&viewfull=1#post556), with one of the most idiotic exercises that I ever saw. Mars has been quite the hot topic in the past decade, with Elon Musk and others advocating Martian colonization, robots crisscrossing the Martian surface, and in all of that Sturm und Drang in the past decade over Mars, I have yet to see anybody even mention Brian, who is still the only person officially asked/ordered to go there (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars).
Similarly, I saw Saint Bill recently hold forth on using heat pumps (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2679&viewfull=1#post2679), and the puppet media (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#pmtoday) is following suit, such as this Atlantic article (https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/02/right-way-heat-your-home/618141/) that I just saw. My guess is that Dennis will never be mentioned in all of this “enlightened” talk on heat pumps. Putting the world’s best heating system (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on people’s homes for free (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs), and then being wiped out in the biggest alternative energy snuff job ever (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam), in Gates’s home town, as he made his first billion, passes in silence. These are surreal times to live in.

Hi:
Oh my, there are definitely challenges to writing comprehensively. I have been daisy-chaining into various topics. The Industrial and Scientific revolutions were definitely a big part of Europe’s rise, but in my essay update, I am going to go into more detail on how Europe’s rise really goes back a lot further. The High Middle Ages (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hma) is when the rise began in earnest, but the Greek and Roman experiences also had their influence. England in 1200 had a higher standard of living than some countries do today, and it was primarily an energy issue, from the watermills to the horse-drawn heavy plow to the exploitation of coal (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#domesday). I have plenty more to write about those days.

Hi:
A pal sent me a link to this (http://www.ukfires.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Absolute-Zero-online.pdf) this morning. It is about how the UK can get to zero carbon emissions by 2050. I have seen plans such as that for many years, and they are all variations of either the energy runs out or the catastrophic environmental consequences (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) that mandate the great reduction of energy use. That plan is only for the UK, but the UN advocates the same globally (https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/12/1078612). How BP will go carbon neutral (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bp-pledges-to-go-carbon-neutral-how-remains-an-open-question/) remains a mystery. Austerity advocates such as Heinberg (https://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity) have been singing this song for many years.
It is probably easy to imagine how insane it all seems to me. Free energy technology is on the planet and likely older than I am (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but crap like that is what sells, or, at least, what the establishment broadcasts. How anybody can get behind “visions” like those is beyond me. If 0.01% of the effort spent on those austerity “solutions” was instead devoted to making free energy happen, we would already be there.
Back in the 1970s, those “solutions” were along the lines of what Brian advocated (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall), before he came to realize that it was all too little and too late (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Brian_O'Leary#The_Energy_Solution_Revolution,_2009).
These are thoroughly insane times.

Hi:
It is time for another Bill Gates post (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2648&viewfull=1#post2648). In a way, I don’t really want to pick on him. He is only the most visible “philanthropist” today, who literally modeled his approach after Rockefeller and Carnegie, who were prominent actors (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#flexner) in developing the American medical racket, which has increasingly gone global, as a form of “philanthropic (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy)” colonialism.
I am too busy to get and read Gates’s climate change book, and am not very interested in it. His “solutions” are the same kinds of technocratic solutions that those zero 2050 people advocate (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/90-Global-Warming-Peak-Oil-and-related-topics/page2?p=2695&viewfull=1#post2695). Here is his site (https://www.breakthroughenergy.org/) on that. Gates’s agricultural “philanthropy,” particularly for Africa, is more of the same (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-gates-new-book-wrong-on-climate-farming/).
Paul Kagame (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#kagame) and George Bush the Second (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) are the two greatest war criminals and genocidists of the past generation. Tony Blair played Mussolini to Bush’s Hitler, and their pre-invasion “summit (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bush,_Barroso,_Blair,_Aznar_at_Azores.jpg)” in the Azores, hosted by a literal fascist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Aznar#Early_life), kind of said it all. That Gates sings the praises of Kagame and Blair (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination/page2?p=2184&viewfull=1#post2184) is not surprising, and Jimmy Wales is another Blair-ite who married his secretary, which explains Ed’s Wikipedia bio (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#wikipedia).
I have had serious doubts about vaccination for many years, but the professional opposition has not had a fair hearing (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2679&viewfull=1#post2679), as the juggernaut rolls onward.
There has been plenty of speculation on the “Great Reset (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/global-effort-silence-critics-great-reset/),” and there could well be sort of a master plan, but I have my doubts. My experience is that the GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are fractured (hence, my pal’s little show (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground)), and that to pull off a global, NWO-style dictatorship is not going to be easy. I have seen Gates called their front-man for many years, although I have my doubts about how in on it he is. IMO, he seems to be the standard billionaire “philanthropist,” who does not need to be coached by the GCs. This is where the structural and conspiratorial paradigms (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=75&viewfull=1#post75) can seem to come together.
For me, focusing on any elites is counterproductive to what I am doing. They just do what elites do, and combined positive intention (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) is the key, not outmaneuvering the elites. If the choir (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) ever gets going, it is going to be Game Over for the GCs and friends (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear).

Hi:
I am getting close to going on a writing tear, and have been reading a lot on the rise of Europe, its conquest of the world, and the Scientific and Industrial revolutions. I have stated it before, and it bears repeating, and my essay update will make it even clearer. The rise of humanity and its continued dominance of Earth have always been about:
Energy
Intelligence
Tools (AKA manipulative ability)
The arrival of humanity (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1) was all about those issues, but the intelligence issue ceased, as an explanatory factor, with the arrival of behaviorally modern humans (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap). We are not any smarter than we were 60,000 years ago.
Ever since then, the human journey has been about increasing technological prowess, which enabled the exploitation of new energy sources, in a combination of opportunity and initiative. With each Epoch, the energy surplus increased (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), and societies became more humane, because they could afford to be.
Europe’s rise (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal35) was dependent on energy innovations, from watermills to world-conquering sailing ships to the heavy, horse-drawn plow. Writing was an economic tool (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing), first and foremost, to count the elite loot, and it eventually became a learning tool, largely reserved for the elite (and some professionals). Europe’s energy innovations enabled peasants to work in crafts, as fewer farmers could feed more people. That freed up people to learn new skills and pursue new activities. The printing press allowed for mass literacy for the first time, and it is considered a precondition for the Scientific Revolution that soon followed.
These are big subjects, and I hope to do more justice to them in the essay update. There have been many academic inquiries into these issues, and many explanations for human “progress,” but anything that strays far past economic explanations, which are always rooted in the energy issue, loses its punch.
Also, until now, none of humanity’s energy sources have been harmlessly exploited or sustainable. There is no way that I can underemphasize the significance of the technologies locked away in elite enclaves (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Their public use would be the biggest event in the human journey (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), by far.
Best,
Wade

We are not any smarter than we were 60,000 years ago.
Yes, I've very often thought of this. And the corollary is that 60,000 years ago, there were great geniuses trying to figure things out at every level of the magnitude of Archimedes, Newton and Leonardo.
We'll never know their stories, how they discovered things and (crucially!) how they spread the word so the innovations very slowly became global. Of weaving, knitting (what super-genius invented knitting!!), mining, smelting, working with herbs, breeding animals and plants, then on to written language, ship design, and much more. Never mind the meticulous astronomical observations that were passed down through dozens of generations before the patterns all became known and recorded.
I wonder if you might have any thoughts on these many great unknown creative and engineering pioneers that must have lived back then.

Hi Bill (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1415305&viewfull=1#post1415305):
If you could place a Cro-Magnon (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gravettian) infant boy into an American family today, he would grow up to utterly destroy many of today’s athletic records, and since his brain was about 10% larger than ours, he might have also graduated from Cal-Tech at about age 12. :)
Yes, the greatest inventors in the human journey are virtually all lost to history. When I publish my receiving a fair hearing essay (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/155-Receiving-a-Fair-Hearing?p=2598&viewfull=1#post2598), I will get into how so many innovators in just the past few centuries are unknown today, with their innovations stolen (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#steal), suppressed (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), etc., and the thieves became rich and famous.
We have these big brains, which can perform so many marvelous feats, and the sense I have is that hunter-gatherers had to be generalists, so they learned skills far more diverse than modern people need to. Also, I remember Seth (https://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth) once talking about those so-called “primitive” people. He said that one of those “primitive” hunters could tune in psychically, and know that in five days, a herd would come by, and his band would be ready for them. In ways, modern humans are crippled, stunted versions of those “primitive” people.
That is not to say that you would have wanted to live back then (although you likely did :) ), as life was a pretty harsh affair, with rigors that we truly have a hard time imagining. The question was recently posed to me, whether it was worse being a hunter-gatherer or a peasant. That is a very fair question. Each Epoch had its short-lived Golden Age, of the early days of easy energy (1 (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer), 2 (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran)), but that never lasted long, and it got hard again. I think that the quintessential hunter-gatherer society would have been Australian aborigines, anytime between 30,000 and 300 years ago. For peasants, their lives changed very little in the past several thousand years, until the Industrial Revolution. I would have probably picked a peasant, as I would have had a chance to move to the big city! :) Even professional lives were hard in agrarian civilizations, but a peasant’s life could be backbreaking and monotonous. Hunter-gatherers had more fun, but their societies were far more violent. For any of them, life was hard and short. Until the Industrial Revolution’s demographic transition (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), during the entire human journey, a child had about a 50% chance of living to adulthood. That had to be awesomely hard on the parents, particularly the mothers.
Before the rise of literacy (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing), it would have been hard to preserve and communicate inventions. Yes, it is pretty amazing to think of how inventions spread in the distant past. How to make the Acheulean hand ax (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#acheulean) was taught for about 1.5 million years, or about 70,000 generations. That is mind-boggling, and we still don’t know what they used those hand axes for. There are also many instances of when peoples lost their skills, usually isolated ones, such as Tasmanian aborigines.
There have been definite benefits to becoming sedentary, and preservation and transmission of inventions is a key one. My guess is that most ancient inventions were not invented by one genius, but some may have been. My guess would be that the bow-and-arrow was invented in steps over some period of time (such as centuries or millennia), with part invented one time, and other parts later, in increments. Evolution has been that way, too. But the key innovations were like lightning bolts. From my own journey with inventors and inventions, even the big ones were rarely recognized immediately. Usually, the biggest ingenious breakthroughs are initially met with incomprehension. Only later does it sink in.
This is a big, important subject, of course.
Best,
Wade

Without taking your theme off topic, might you comment on this? This is a neat joke, but it does make one pause to think.
Of course, there were continual issues with [sometimes] violent conflict, and [sometimes] harsh climate or animal attacks while hunting. But accidents and warfare notwithstanding, shouldn't these guys have all been extremely healthy and strong, like any other mammal living at the time?

Thanks Bill (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1415391&viewfull=1#post1415391)!
That is a big subject. As I stated in the previous post (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1415320&viewfull=1#post1415320), we can barely imagine what their lives were like, as far as the rigors went. You can see the contrasts today, with wild and domesticated animals. A housecat rarely lives to see five years old in the wild, while our pet cats have lived to 17 or so, which is normal.
In demographics, once you take out the infant mortality (only half lived to adulthood), then ancient peoples could live into their 50s and older, if they survived childhood ((60 +2)/2 = 31, for the math of short lives, for two Cro-Magnons). There has been plenty of controversy (1 (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0696-8?WT.feed_name=subjects_archaeology), 2 (https://www.archaeology.wiki/blog/2017/05/03/neanderthal-injury-patterns-cannot-compared-modern-ones/)) over Neanderthal’s and Paleolithic Homo sapiens’ skeletal traumas. My guess is interpersonal violence, as can be easily seen in Australian aborigine skeletons. In some regions of Australia, more than 70% of the recovered skulls had been fractured. I was recently reading on the ongoing fieldwork at Çatalhöyük, and similar skull fractures are being found (https://www.pnas.org/content/116/26/12615). Cracking people over the head is a human tradition. :) That is just one type of trauma that survives in the bone record. If a person got cut, dying of infection was common. It seems that after the short-lived Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer) ended, and humans had to become territorial again, somewhere around a quarter of all men died violently. It is worse with chimps, as about half of male chimps die violently (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary). The casual violence in those societies alone is difficult for modern humans to comprehend.
When I read of chimps’ killing the males in a neighboring territory (and securing that territory for themselves), then killing the infants, then taking the females and mating with them, I thought that no woman would ever mate with her child’s killer, but I was wrong. That was also common practice in those days of yore in the human journey.
Isolated hunter-gatherer bands could die off, generally from starvation. Heck, the Vikings’ Greenland settlements went extinct (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Greenland#Norse_failure), most likely by starving to death, and they could not make boats to escape (they lost the skills, tools, and there was not much candidate wood).
Anthropologists found a crippled Neanderthal skeleton, of an elderly person, to give evidence that they could take care of non-productive members of their societies. But even in recent history, of studies of hunter-gatherers (no pure hunter-gatherer societies are left on Earth), oh God, the lives they led were grim. In many areas, if a strange man was seen in a band’s territory, he was killed on sight, no questions asked. The assumption was that he was there to steal a woman. The tales of putting elderly Inuit on ice floes is not very mythical. One standard Inuit practice was when somebody got old and decrepit, one morning, the band would move away in the early morning, before the elderly awoke. The person would awaken, abandoned. If he/she could find the band, then he/she would be taken back in (for a time, until they were abandoned again), but they usually died, of exposure, starvation, etc. Among African hunter-gatherers, that practice would have meant death by predation, so the “compassionate” end for them was when a relative snuck up behind them and one great blow to the back of their heads “retired” them. That was considered the compassionate way to treat the elderly.
Even agrarian lives are hard for industrialized peoples to comprehend, and in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, and its rigors and obscenities, there was a romantic fantasy of the idyllic lives that peasants led, among Marxists and others, and Gandhi, for instance, advocated the village economy. Only somebody who did not live as a peasant would romanticize it. It was a brutal existence.
As I stated, the hunter-gatherer’s life was freer in ways than a peasant’s life, but it was far harder in ways. Even those “blissful” Neolithic days had their downsides. The Herxheim Neolithic site (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herxheim_(archaeological_site)) appears to have been a cannibalism operation, as an example.
Even in historical times, we can see how grim lives were. A graveyard in 1200s England has been studied. It was a farming community. Again, until the demographic transition (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), living to be an adult was a 50/50% proposition. In that farming community, for the adults, few lived to be 30 years old. And their skeletons gave mute evidence to their grim lives, with numerous skeletal traumas. Their work was literally backbreaking, and England in the 1200s had a comparatively high standard of living, compared to Europe and the rest of humanity.
There is just so much evidence like that, when you look into it, that I am very appreciative of the life I have been given. I am a member of history’s most privileged demographic group. With all that I have been through, I am grateful that I am still able to try to make a dent. A sizeable one, I hope. :)

Wade

Hi:
To my recent “good old days” posts (1 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page27?p=2698&viewfull=1#post2698), 2 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/25-Chapter-18-Humanity%C2%92s-Second-Epochal-Event-The-Super-Predator-Revolution?p=2699&viewfull=1#post2699)), I recently read Four Lost Cities (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53122357-four-lost-cities), on ancient cities. It covers subjects that I will write about more in my essay update. Basically, no city ever had a sustainable energy supply, and cities eventually die. Some have carried on, with new energy sources (again, not sustainably exploited, such as the fossil fuels that sustain modern cities), but Earth is filled with the ruins of lost civilizations. That book dealt with Çatalhöyük, Cahokia, Angkor, and Pompeii. Again, a modern Westerner could not stand those early cities. Çatalhöyük was not really a city as we think of it, but more like a big village. Eridu (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer) is considered the first true city.
Çatalhöyük was a kind of rabbit warren of what we would call tenements today. The residents buried their dead in their homes, which were regularly abandoned, and then became garbage dumps for their neighbors. Çatalhöyük had a permanent stench to it. The broken skulls (https://www.pnas.org/content/116/26/12615) provide evidence of the continual violence, although civilized warfare (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare) had yet to make its appearance. I have also been reading A Farewell to Alms (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/150437.A_Farewell_to_Alms), and several books like it. The stark lives of the past are made quite clear in books such as those. There was a gladiatorial arena next to Pompeii (where a riot caused thousands of deaths, and the games were banned there for a decade), and the remains of human sacrifices, as part of a big pageant, are at Cahokia. At Angkor, ruler succession was determined by wars. Violence was a constant in those civilizations.
Pompeii had rather unique preservation, from that volcanic ash, and became a kind of vivid snapshot of the Roman Empire, at the height of its wealth and influence. You would not have wanted to live there. There were some public toilets, in which the “toilet paper” was a sponge on a stick that was passed around all day long. I believe that each day began with a new sponge. :) However, most people just went wherever they could, so Pompeii’s streets were open sewers, and graffiti with messages such as “don’t poop here” could be seen on Pompeii’s walls. That typified Europe, clear into the 1800s. At the renowned Globe Theater, where Shakespeare’s plays were first performed, which seated 1,500 people, there was not one toilet. People just went wherever they could, which likely included the theater’s stairways and passages, while the richer patrons were able to use the Globe’s yard.
East Asia, however, was a little different, mostly because they did not have as many domestic animals as Europe did, and so human waste became fertilizer. In Japan, it was lucrative, and was gathered and sold (people were paid to use toilets). Hence, Japan and China were far cleaner than Europe was.
Bathing once a week was common practice in 20th century rural America (https://livinghistoryfarm.org/farminginthe30s/life_13.html).
Again, as my grandfather told me (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas), he did not know what was good about the “good old days.”

Hi:
I just looked it up, on that 1200s graveyard (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/25-Chapter-18-Humanity%C2%92s-Second-Epochal-Event-The-Super-Predator-Revolution?p=2699&viewfull=1#post2699). I got it from Brian Fagan’s The Great Warming (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2048995.The_Great_Warming). I have several of his books, and this only took a few minutes to find, in the bookcase next to my desk. Those farmers who died young were from Winchester (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester), in southern England. For a farmworkers who survived to adulthood, life expectancy was to reach 24 years old in 1245. Spinal deformations, from carrying heavy loads, were standard among the farmers and fisherman of the time.
The peoples of those times regularly suffered from bad harvest years, which were reflected in their skeletons. But the English became the richest workers on Earth, which was partly reflected by their height. In the 1700s, they were taller than Continental Europeans or the peoples of Asia. Stunted growth is due to under-nutrition, which is always primarily about calories. In the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), everybody will be tall, deprivation will be unknown, etc.

Hi:
I recently drafted this for my big essay, but am not quite sure where it will go. The essay updated will have more summaries like this.
Best,
Wade
When the evolutionary branch that led to humanity split off several million years ago, that branch’s basic dynamics, to this day, particularly since stone tools were made, have been:
Increasing intelligence;
Increasingly sophisticated tools;
The exploitation of new energy sources, and continually increasing surplus energy.
Those dynamics interacted in positive feedback loops. Increasing intelligence and increasingly sophisticated tools allowed for the exploitation of new energy sources, which formed the foundations of all Epochs in the human journey. Negative feedbacks were destructive aspects of those dynamics, especially the exhaustion of those energy sources (and devastating Earth’s ecosystems and altering Earth’s atmosphere in the process), and violently using those tools on each other, nearly always in a fight over dwindling energy resources.
Individual intelligence stopped increasing with the arrival of behaviorally modern humans, but increasingly sophisticated tools allowed for a rise in humanity’s collective intelligence, which Buckminster Fuller remarked on. Individual intelligence has likely not increased, and may have well declined (Cro-Magnon brains were about 10% larger than modern brains). However, since the arrival of behaviorally modern humans, working together in new forms of social organization, with each innovation compounding on previous ones, has led to technological marvels and energy levels that were literally unimaginable to peoples living in prior Epochs. There has been interplay between what Karl Marx called the means of production and social organization, and the recent phenomena of cities, professions, and mass literacy were key developments, which helped lead to the Epoch we live in, which is propelled by fossil fuels, but for not much longer, as the dwindling supplies and negative feedbacks pose existential risks to humanity.

Hi:
I spent many years learning at the feet of Ed, Noam, and Howard (https://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm). If I think about my days of study (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page7?p=739&viewfull=1#post739) about the American Empire (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm), it began with my first issues of Lies of Our Times (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot) and Ralph’s book (https://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm). I bought Ralph’s book from an ad in Lies of Our Times, as both had the same publisher. A couple of years later, in 1992, I began to understand the deep historical roots of the issue a lot better, with Noam’s Year 501 (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38343.Year_501), Howard’s masterpiece (https://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn), and Stannard’s American Holocaust (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/142-The-NASA-Nazis?p=2172&viewfull=1#post2172). Somewhere in those early years of study, I obtained the first joint work by Noam and Ed (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#second) that wasn’t censored (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#crv). They called out the American Empire and its enablers in the media, in a prelude to Manufacturing Consent (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), and they are libeled over their exposures (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#cambodia) to this day (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#ear).
I had to go pretty deep on Ed’s work, in order to do justice to his biography, and it only made the imperial aspects of our society even clearer. I regularly encounter, without really even trying, mainstream media articles on American foreign policy. It ranges from flag-waving exercises to some that seem a little more neutral, such as in USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/world/2021/02/25/us-military-budget-what-can-global-bases-do-vs-covid-cyber-attacks/6419013002/) and Foreign Policy (https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-small-war-that-wasn-t), but imperial assumptions permeate them, some of which are laughable. In the USA Today article, I think I saw only one quote on American foreign policy, out of more than a dozen, which did not come from a current or former military official. That Foreign Policy article on Kosovo could have used some heaping helpings of Ed’s work (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#yugoslavia). The West deliberately dismantled Yugoslavia after the Soviet Union disintegrated. That author at Foreign Policy performed the obligatory demonization of Milosevic, with some whopper lies in there. This is just how it works in the West, how it works in any empire. What we see happening is nothing more an imperialism with new rhetoric, such as “humanitarian intervention (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record),” which has always been a Big Lie.

I have been reading books on Europe’s conquest of humanity (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2) and the Industrial Revolution lately. This book (https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Revolution-Perspective-Approaches-Economic/dp/0521687853) is the latest that I read, on why the Industrial Revolution happened, and I am currently reading this one (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11461427-why-europe-grew-rich-and-asia-did-not), from an Indian perspective. What it wasn’t was intentional. It was all about tapping new energy sources, and coal in particular. Nobody really saw what was coming. Increasing energy surplus allowed for more people to leave farming, and human ingenuity was devoted to technological and scientific advance, which led to more energy surplus, in what is called a “virtuous circle.” That, in a nutshell, is the Industrial Revolution, which ran parallel with, and interacted with, the Scientific Revolution and what is called the Enlightenment.
But it all happened during Europe’s conquest of humanity, and England has nothing to be proud of. The Anglo-American experience in North America inspired Hitler’s plans (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hitler), and what the British did to India might be the greatest long-term crime ever (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2).
What is also rather amazing about Europe’s conquest of the world is that it came from such northern climes. Northwest Europe got an energy subsidy from the Gulf Stream, making it far warmer than it would have otherwise been, but it was still a four-season climate with short growing seasons compared to the tropics. Bilbao, Spain, is at about the same latitude as Toronto, and Ireland is at the same latitude as Newfoundland. Moscow is actually further south than Edinburgh.
Key energy innovations propelled the rise of Europe, beginning in the High Middle Ages (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hma). The horse-drawn heavy plow made Northern Europe’s soils far more farmable, and great effort was invested to make Northwestern Europe’s soils more farmable. A thousand years ago, France’s watermills (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill1) produced the work of a quarter of its population. That alone is unprecedented in the human journey, as muscles were no longer needed to generate power on land. In imperial Rome, slaves ground grain, but in Northwestern Europe, with its mills doing the grinding, slavery ended. Even by the 1200s, England had a high standard of living, globally, with the surplus energy that its culture produced, which allowed for the building of what is called “human capital,” as fewer people were peasants and could learn new skills. That accelerated in the late-Medieval period, particular after the plague pushed England back from the Malthusian brink, and Europe’s feat of navigating the global ocean (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2) was tapping the greatest new energy source ever, to that time, which allowed Europe to conquer the world.
The energetic perspective is by far the most explanatory, IMO. When economists couch their inquiries in energy, first and foremost, then their work has explanatory power. Many economists get lost in the weeds (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), which reflects their illiteracy in the physical and biological sciences. Energy is always the ultimate cause (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), and the other factors are always ancillary. There are many academic fights, as they debate proximate causes while assuming or ignoring the ultimate one.
This will all be very germane to my plan (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to manifest free energy in the public sphere. Because England and Europe were successful in conquering humanity, ideologies such as capitalism and nationalism (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) became deified. The people who can help my little project (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) have to have shaken free of those ideologies, which requires an awakening process (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/134-My-Awakening?p=1765&viewfull=1#post1765). Otherwise, they invariably advocate the paths to disaster (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches).
Best,
Wade

...why the Industrial Revolution happened...This may be just an interesting footnote, and I truly don't want to derail your direction.
It's been shrewdly observed that had Archimedes invented the steam engine — which he was well capable of doing, were it not for his premature demise at the hands of a Roman soldier who (it seems) didn't know who he was — then the Industrial Revolution might have happened 2000 years ago and mankind would have reached the moon long, long before now.

Thanks Bill (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1416198&viewfull=1#post1416198):
Actually, if not for that bolide event 66 million years ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction), Earth might host spacefaring dinosaurs today (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#encephalization). :)
There has indeed been a lot of academic ink spilled on when the Industrial Revolution happened when it did, and why it did not happen with Greece, Rome, or China. There were several trends in Northwestern Europe that those other civilizations did not enjoy, and if I had to make a blanket statement, it was that England in 1500 had 74% of the workforce in agriculture, and in 1800, it was only 35%, and England was pretty unique in having large and easily accessible coal and iron deposits. That confluence was unprecedented in the human journey. Those non-peasants increased England’s collective skillset, particularly since the printing press (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#printing) made mass literacy feasible. A literate peasant made no impact on the economy, but literate craftsmen and professionals (and some elites) did. It was from that class that the inventions of the Industrial Revolution arrived.
I see the mechanization of Northwestern Europe beginning with the explosion of watermills a millennium ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill1), which was the biggest energy innovation ever to its time, which was the first time that muscles were not needed to produce power on land, although, like the steam engine, the Greeks invented the first ones (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill). In that book (https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Revolution-Perspective-Approaches-Economic/dp/0521687853) that I finished yesterday, it ranked ten inventors who made the “macro” breakthroughs that allowed for the Industrial Revolution to happen (Newcomen, Watt, Darby, etc.). There were also dozens of “lesser” inventors, who worked on ancillary inventions or helped perfect the “macro” ones.
It has been very interesting to read of the English inventors, in that book and this one (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/150437.A_Farewell_to_Alms). A lot of it only confirmed what I learned from being around inventors (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) in the 20th century. Most inventors get screwed. If an inventor profits from his/her invention, it is because he/she was also able to run a business around those inventions. Inventing by itself, and getting rich off the royalties, almost never happens. The inventor will lose control on the way to market, and end up with zilch. A big theme around those inventions of the Industrial Revolution was how it was like Edison’s aphorism that invention was 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
Take coke smelting of iron, which was far more important in the early Industrial Revolution than steam power was. Darby (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke) did not invent it in 1709, but was the first to successfully use coke for smelting commercially. However, it still took 40 years of “R&D” to make coke smelting economically superior over charcoal (coal per ton of iron smelted fell by half in those years, to fall by another half by 1850), and then coke quickly wiped out charcoal after 1750. Similarly, Newcomen (who likely profited from scientific investigation of atmospheric pressure) produced the first commercial steam engine (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#steamengine1), after ten years of tinkering, around 1710. Kind of funnily, even today, when engineers try to reproduce Newcomen’s engine, it is hard for them to get it to work. Newcomen’s feat was a delicate one. But his engine was terribly inefficient, and only feasible at coal mines, where the fuel was essentially free. Steam engines then took a great leap in the 1770s, with Watt’s addition of a separate condenser. But it was still highly inefficient, and it took another 80 years of R&D before steam power finally overtook wind and water power, around 1850. In 1727, it took 45 pounds of coal to produce a horsepower-hour of power in pumping engines. It had been improved to 30 pounds by 1776, when Watt’s innovation reduced it to about 17 pounds. When Watt’s patent expired shortly after 1800, Cornish mine innovations reduced the coal to 10 pounds, and to about three pounds by 1827.
A similar decline happened with using steam to turn rotary engines, and it was not until about 1850 that steam finally displaced wind (on the ocean) and waterpower (on land). In 1830, steam and water power provided equal amounts of power to England, but by 1870, steam had increased by more than ten times, and by 1907, by 60 times. While Newcomen, Watt, and Darby made the “macro” inventions, it was a frenzy of other inventors and tinkerers who kept improving them. It was only when those English inventions had been made energy efficient enough that the Industrial Revolution spread to Europe, and eventually globally, at least for those peoples not conquered by Europe. :) Europe de-industrialized India and China, for instance, and those effects are still felt. In 1750, China and India produced around 75% of the world’s manufacturing, and by 1900, it was negligible (around 15%, as I recall).
That climate of invention was a key to the Industrial Revolution, and nothing like it really existed in Greece, Rome, or China. As far as the motives of the players went, in England, cheap energy and capital were used to reduce labor inputs, as labor was relatively expensive. That confluence of factors did not exist anywhere else on Earth, and have been argued, and I think convincingly, to have been why the Industrial Revolution happened in England. Northwestern Europe had been riding an unprecedented energy wave for nearly a millennium when the Industrial Revolution happened, and all of those people relieved from agricultural duties by Europe’s rising energy surplus were able to devote their time and effort to other activities, which increased the human “capital,” which was a problem-solving asset. From there, it has galloped along to this day, although technologies are on Earth (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) that are beyond some of our wildest imaginings, and “macro”-innovation is nearly dead in the public-facing energy and medical industries, for instance, as global rackets dominate (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets), organized suppression has become a science (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), propaganda blares from all directions (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), and we have our toes over the edge of the abyss (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).
In the end, the Industrial Revolution was about tapping coal energy. Without that, the Industrial Revolution could not have happened. There is no way for an industrial society to be based on wood energy, or any “annual income” of solar energy. Something else had to be tapped, and coal was the beginning, as it was relatively easy to mine. Only after a century of coal dominance and the rise of machines could oil be mined, and gas is similar. These are big subjects, and I hope to do more justice to them in the essay update.

Hi:
As I read several books by economists (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists) on the Industrial Revolution, it is a good time to show how my approach is different from theirs, and how it is grounded in the physical and biological sciences a lot more than theirs is. I am not arguing that their work is defective. It is OK, as far as it goes, although it has been instructive to see their debates and how they can’t agree on basic data, such as how high standards of living were in Eurasia before the Industrial Revolution.
For those economists, the Industrial Revolution usually had these three foci: cotton fabrics, and coal for iron smelting and steam engines (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke). The connection between coal and energy is obvious, and without coal energy, the Industrial Revolution would not have happened. Coal energy was primarily captured more than 300 million years ago (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#whiterot), and is not a renewable resource, obviously.
Cotton is interesting. Life has three requirements (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#liferequirements):
Consume enough energy and other nutrients to live;
Avoid becoming energy and nutrients for something else;
Perform the first two tasks long enough to reproduce.
Cotton is comprised of cellulose, and it evolved as part of a seed dispersal strategy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_dispersal), so that cotton plants could reproduce. That is a pretty big energy investment to disperse the seeds, which is typical with plants. So, why has cotton been important to humanity? It is exclusively because it is a soft fiber that does not chafe human skin (partly why it largely displaced wool in Europe). Almost all cotton is used for clothing (and bedding and covering furniture, where human skin comes into contact with it). What is clothing for? To replace the fur that we lost during human evolution. A chimp’s fur protects it from sunlight and reduces body heat loss; both are energy concepts. It is thought today that the human line lost its fur around the time of Homo erectus (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus), as we lost our hair and developed sweat glands, to cool us off. That is thought to be because the human line began running, and had higher metabolism than slow chimps and gorillas, so heat needed to be shed. Dark skin evolved for protection from the ultraviolet component of sunlight.
So, cotton protected from sunlight and reduced body heat loss, as furless humans migrated (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit) to where that fur would have been useful again. Instead of re-evolving fur, humans began making clothing (one of many ways that the human journey has outstripped evolution). So, economists make a lot of the cotton industry and the Industrial Revolution, but the entire game was based on energy, which is not really mentioned by economists.
To revisit the rise of humanity and what the key dynamics were (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page4?p=2702&viewfull=1#post2702), the rise of the English cotton industry was about increasingly sophisticated tools that greatly reduced the need for human hands. The Industrial Revolution was all about reducing the need for strong backs (which dimorphic men provided) and nimble fingers (which women largely provided – the nimbleness was developed during the hunter-gatherer phase, as women did most of the gathering), and it eliminated (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) the “need” for slaves. Also, machines performed feats far beyond what humans were capable of. A slave-borne palanquin never reached 60 MPH. Similarly, the rise of computers has been eliminating the need for human brains, but as with rise of machines, they have eliminated the drudgery aspect of it. Human backs, brains, and hands are still valuable to us, but are not needed for survival or drudgery any longer. They can be used for more satisfying activities.
As long as the energy issue is solved, and its acquisition and use stops being so destructive (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) (free energy does that), there is no end to how the combination of those dynamics can keep increasing humanity’s wealth and wellbeing. But capitalism is a greed-based ideology (https://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed) that won’t survive into the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), just as none of the other dominant ideologies (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) will, either. Capitalism is actually preventing (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#steroids) the manifestation of free energy technology for public use. And I have not seen an economist who can begin to go there, for either its reality and potential, or its organized suppression (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1).
Economists are not going to help manifest the Fifth Epoch, and neither will physical and biological scientists, as they are all trapped by their paradigms (https://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded). It is the very rare physical, biological, or social scientist who has awakened (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) past his/her conditioning. They all have lopsided perspectives. Only a comprehensive perspective (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/63-Developing-a-Comprehensive-Perspective?p=82&viewfull=1#post82) can see it. Otherwise, people get stuck in the inertia of their conditioning, or get lost in the weeds.

Hi:
Oh, am I busy reading. Kind of on overload at the moment, but I took a little detour this afternoon on Brzezinski’s bragging on Afghanistan (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#brzezinski) (here (https://dgibbs.faculty.arizona.edu/brzezinski_interview) is what was published, and a little more (https://dgibbs.faculty.arizona.edu/sites/dgibbs.faculty.arizona.edu/files/afghan-ip.pdf)). There have been quite a few efforts to deny what Brzezinski said, including this recent article (https://academic.oup.com/dh/article/44/2/237/5699276), which has received a rave review (https://networks.h-net.org/node/28443/discussions/6244681/h-diplo-article-review-966-tobin-%E2%80%9C-myth-%E2%80%98afghan-trap%E2%80%99-zbigniew). It is almost enough to make one think that the Big Zbig was misquoted, but then we get this confirmation of it (https://masspeaceaction.org/magical-thinking-has-always-guided-the-us-role-in-afghanistan/). He said it, he meant it.

Hi:
Time for another pandemic post, but this will be rather wide-ranging. Back in 1998, I kind of predicted 9/11 (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sunny). The USA was taking a blowtorch to the powder keg, as usual. I am still open to the “inside job” aspect of 9/11, but the conspiracists really muddied the waters (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11), similar to how they were muddied with the JFK hit (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#jfk). I believe that at least some of it was intentional, for various reasons, and working on behalf of the real assassins was the motivation for at least some of them. The very term “conspiracy theory” rose to prominence as an epithet in the late 1960s, courtesy of the CIA, as they sought to discredit all critics of the Warren Commission. The book Conspiracy Theory in America (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18699376-conspiracy-theory-in-america) devoted a chapter to the CIA’s campaign. Even the New York Times discussed it (https://www.nytimes.com/1977/12/26/archives/cable-sought-to-discredit-critics-of-warren-report.html). That memo (https://ia801007.us.archive.org/3/items/CIADOC1035960/CIA%20DOC%201035-960.pdf) even discussed deploying its “propaganda” assets, a la Mockingbird (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird).
On 9/11, I went from being a prophet in the wilderness to being overwhelmed by the aftermath (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc), which included the greatest crime of the 21st century (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) so far. Similarly, I have written about the medical racket (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/109-The-Medical-Racket?p=1190&viewfull=1#post1190) since the 1990s, and have questioned vaccination’s safety and effectiveness (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#vaccination) since then. That was long after I became radicalized (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) during my free energy journey. We attracted global elite interest (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) in those days, and barely survived the experience, while some of us didn’t (https://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey). I eventually learned that the sitting American president is way down the food chain of power on Earth (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). That the sitting American president’s energy advisor was one of Dennis’s fans meant nothing, once David Rockefeller and friends got involved (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888), and it was not the first time for us.
I have long written about the structuralist and conspiracist orientations (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism), and how both are lopsided ways to view the situations. Only a comprehensive view (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/63-Developing-a-Comprehensive-Perspective?p=82&viewfull=1#post82), which integrates the conscious and unconscious aspects of how these situations work, can really understand what is happening. I have long stated that these situations are generally 1% conspiracy and 99% complicity. Conspiracists obsess on the conspirators (and nearly invariably bark up the wrong tree), while structuralists deny that they even exist (https://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion). Finding balanced, productive perspectives on these issues is like finding needles in haystacks.
Back in 2015 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184), I began a thread on vaccination, and periodically add something to it. But I have been overwhelmed with a perfect storm of the Trump presidency and the pandemic. The crazed QAnon conspiracists found common cause with anti-vaccinationists, and I have had to work to avoid being sucked into that maelstrom. The QAnon people are nuts, IMO, and whenever their “leaders (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611)” mention free energy or vaccination or UFOs, I shudder. That merry crew never missed a beat from all of the Trump-the-Messiah memes, on how he was taking on the Deep State. Wilcock and friends conjured early March as another magic date when Trump would save the world. Well, that date came and went, just like a hundred other dates that Wilcock has announced over the years, and not one prediction ever came true. But he is still quoted by his faithful, which shows no sign of ever letting up. At what time do people finally realize that Santa is not going to come down that chimney? I would not be surprised if Steele and Parkes are on the disinformation payroll, with their spook backgrounds. I still get bombarded with crap from them to this day. I guess that if Flat Earthers (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flatearth) can do it, so can the QAnon and conspiracist crowds.
The debunkers could not ask for better “allies” in discrediting any and all conspiracies than the QAnon crowd, those “leaders,” and their crazed followers. In recent weeks, I have been seeing articles on the QAnon issue and conspiracists, such as here (https://www.niemanlab.org/2021/01/the-enduring-allure-of-conspiracies/). Here is a Rolling Stone article (https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/qanon-anti-vax-covid-vaccine-conspiracy-theory-1125197/) on the unlikely alliance of QAnon with anti-vaxxers, as QAnon is far right, while anti-vaxxers are often from the left (although I have probably seen more from the right than the left).
But in neither of those two articles were any legitimate conspiracies even hinted at. Conspiracists comprise only one crazed arm of the political scene, and their unhinged nature has made it easy to dismiss any and all conspiracies. The Rolling Stone article teed off on RFK, Jr., but made it seem like Gates is above reproach. He is far from it (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2648&viewfull=1#post2648). Yes, RFK, Jr. and crew have blundered at times, and recently (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/145-The-Coronavirus-Pandemic?p=2689&viewfull=1#post2689), but the conflicts of interest between the “philanthropists” and the vaccine makers are noted by plenty of others (https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n556). This so-called pandemic has been quite the opportunity for Gates and friends, who planned for it (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-planned-social-media-censorship-vaccine-safety/).
So, navigating between the conspiracists, debunkers, and “philanthropists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2639&viewfull=1#post2639)” is no easy task. It has definitely not been settled as to the source of the pandemic, and even Politico has publicized that lab in Wuhan (https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/03/08/josh-rogin-chaos-under-heaven-wuhan-lab-book-excerpt-474322), which Fauci was involved with.
But I want to briefly discuss an aspect of the pandemic that has long been discussed among vaccination skeptics, which is the autoimmune aspect of vaccination. Vaccination intentionally induces an autoimmune effect. It artificially lodges disease into the body, with no way to get rid of it. As the best book I have seen on the subject discussed (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2679&viewfull=1#post2679), exactly how the vaccines induce that autoimmune response is a carefully guarded trade secret by the vaccine manufacturers. It is worse than the days of proprietary medicine (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#proprietary). It is surreal that the basic science is hidden behind veils of secrecy. Of course, what the GCs have tucked away (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) makes this all seem tame, but it is incredible that this situation passes in silence. The media’s silence on the genocide in East Timor (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#timor) was kind of understandable, as our slaughters of distant dark-skinned natives rarely excites the American public, but the science behind what Americans are being injected with today is hidden behind the trade secret shield, and nobody seems to care. Stich discovered the same thing with plane crashes (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit/page2?p=1440&viewfull=1#post1440). I found that embracing certain death (https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#doom) over questioning our indoctrination is normal.
Declassified memos finally exposed some of the evils behind fluoridation (https://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#harold), but I probably won’t live to see whatever might be declassified about vaccination, and particularly the recent pandemic past.
So, it is with interest that I recently read this article (https://www.vox.com/22298751/long-term-side-effects-covid-19-hauler-symptoms) on COVID “long-haulers,” and how it may be related to autoimmune reactions. Imagine that. These autoimmune reactions are behind the explosion of chronic immune system diseases in my lifetime, including autism, and it is very legitimate to wonder how much of it can be laid at vaccination’s doorstep. Of course, all such concerns are off-limits today, at least among officialdom, their corporate patrons and “donors,” and the media.

Hi:
There is a name for Gates’s brand of “philanthropy.” It is called “philanthrocapitalism (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-vaccines-phenomenal-profit-makers/).” That is an apt term.

Great post on QAnon. I was temporarily sidetracked by their illusory appeal for a couple of months last year. As far as Trump's being the Messiah with predicted dates of arresting all the bad guys in the Swamp, I now view that like the South Pacific cargo cults spawned by WW2. The Pope was also supposedly being arrested about once every 2 months on the Q thread I looked at most frequently. Grievous deceptions are rife, and it takes a sharp mind to hew to the tree's trunk. Pardon my malapropisticity.

Hi DASDBIL (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1416826&viewfull=1#post1416826):
I began writing about QAnon late last year, as I was bombarded with it around the election. I try to not pay much attention to those grand conspiratorial yarns, with a few heroic elites (or one white knight on a steed) against the “bad guys.” It is the stuff of folk tales.
I am aware of the seeming ironies of my stance, as JFK was taken out (https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean) for trying to end the Cold War, and not being nearly capitalist-imperialist enough for the oligarchy’s taste. JFK was the last president who thought that he could make a dent. The rest since then have been outright owned by the oligarchy, with David Rockefeller’s (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page13?p=888&viewfull=1#post888) handpicking of them until his last years. Ironically, Trump may be a partial exception, as he came to the office rich, but to think that a rank narcissist like him was going to save the world was quite the fantasy.
But, Rockefeller did not play at the GC level (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), and neither do any of the retail elites on the planet today. The GCs are all anonymous, as it is good for business. Sitting presidents, retail elites, and the like all sit a ways down the food chain (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1186&viewfull=1#post1186). To think that Bill Gates (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2648&viewfull=1#post2648) or Trump hold the cards is a delusion, although understandable.
I found that focusing on elite machinations (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus), both real and imagined, was highly counterproductive, turning people into spectators instead of agents of change. The right obsesses on them, while the left denies that they even exist (https://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion). Both stances are delusional, counterproductive (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=75&viewfull=1#post75), and rooted in the victim mentality (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). We have to think and act like creators to get out of this mess, and creators create with love. The GCs and friends just need to be acknowledged and let go of, treated like a force of nature. They have been around, in one form or another, for a long time. Elite games go back to the beginning of civilization (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear), but they could not “go global” until Europe began conquering the world (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2).
In the Fifth Epoch, all elites become obsolete (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and the GCs know it, which is partly why they have kept the lid so tightly on free energy and related technologies (but their task (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) is not so hard), as they know it means Game Over. They have several contingency plans (and they are divided, with dissident and rival factions), one of which was to trickle out the technologies, hence my friend’s little show (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Another one is to bring out something like fusion to power a city, to be sold for billions at a pop. They can keep their games alive for a while longer that way. There is a wide spectrum of contingency plans, and I doubt that Gates is privy to any of them. As long as he plays the “philanthrocapitalist (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2709&viewfull=1#post2709)” game, all is well, as he won’t do anything to rock the boat.
The QAnon stuff was for the tabloid conspiracist crowd, and plenty of talking heads (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/56-Conspiracism-Structuralism-and-This-Forum?p=2611&viewfull=1#post2611) led the way. That stuff can be seductive, offering some kind of easy way to the finish line, where we just have to boo or cheer. Those kinds of delusions are likely as old as humanity. It is time to grow up as a species, or it might be Game Over (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), for all of us. The Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) can come none too soon.

Hi:
It is time for a little vaccination (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184) and pandemic (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/145-The-Coronavirus-Pandemic?p=2224&viewfull=1#post2224) post. These new COVID shots are not traditional vaccines, in which the organisms are shot into the body and kept there with adjuvants. Instead, what these new mRNA treatments do is hijack the protein factories in cells (ribosomes), which then produce proteins like the surface of the coronavirus. That is the theory, anyway. So, give them points for not injecting disease into the body (or mercury or aluminum, which was standard in the past), but, as with all vaccines, there is also a witch’s brew (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/regulators-major-concerns-pfizers-mrna-vaccine/) of other stuff (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/inactive-ingredients-covid-vaccines-allergic-reactions/), which is responsible for all manner of chronic and acute side effect, some of which are almost immediately fatal (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/vaers-reports-death-up/). I won’t be lining up to get mine.
RFK, Jr., just wrote an open letter to Biden (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-president-biden-vaers/), which is largely about corruption in the vaccination establishment. Amen to that. As long as capitalism exists, situations like these will continue. Capitalism’s death knell will come through something like free energy, which will make it obsolete as a political-economic system, but kudos to Kennedy for gnawing on the giant’s ankle.

Your comment on the two radically different theories of what caused the Snowball Earth reminds me of something I read 30 years ago. Two different books had been published a few months apart in Japan, by two different authors, of course, on the Japanese language. One claimed that Japanese were superior people because Japanese was the most difficult language to learn. The other book claimed that Japanese were superior people because Japanese was the simplest language to learn. Each author showed lots of proof, of course.

Thanks DASDBIL (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1416957&viewfull=1#post1416957):
Funny story on Japan. I think you mean this post (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1398062&viewfull=1#post1398062). One of my favorite chapters of my big essay (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cryogenian) deals with it. Ah yes, the battles of the hypotheses. It has been very educational to watch scientists and academics go at it with their ideas and evidence. I presented several hypotheses on the Shuram Excursion (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#shuram), as an example of that. Definitely, parts of the big essay will be revised for new findings. There are so many areas where the fur flies, with each camp having opposing hypotheses.
With events of the past, they are issues of history, so we cannot really set up an experiment to test what happened, to re-run the events. Instead, it is detective work. With Einstein’s general theory of relativity, tests could be performed to confirm or falsify it. That can’t really be done for the alleged snowball Earths. For the Neanderthal (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal) or megafauna extinctions (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), does the fur ever fly, with battling camps, and those controversies will outlive me.
Sometimes I’ll venture my own opinion on events, and not just summarize the stances. For instance, I strongly believe that Neanderthals and the worlds’ terrestrial megafauna outside of Africa were casualties of the conquest of Earth by behaviorally modern humans (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit). It seems to me that the hypotheses that lay those extinctions at the feet of climate change, bolide events, and the like, are mere defenses of their in-group (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup): humanity. Because the most complete extinctions happened in Australia and the Americas, where people arrived last (and no denying that humans were solely responsible for the New Zealand extinctions, as it happened less than a thousand years ago), there is also an understandable “solidarity” with indigenous peoples, denying what their ancestors were responsible for, although nobody comes right out and admits it.
All I know about Japanese is that I won’t learn it in this lifetime. :)

Hi:
This is going to be one of those “what am I doing this for?” posts. Yesterday, I finished a book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/445121.The_Scientific_Revolution) that denied that there was a Scientific Revolution (I was not impressed), and this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11461427-why-europe-grew-rich-and-asia-did-not), on why Europe grew rich and Asia did not. It is an India-centric view, and fairly competently makes the case that India was competitive with England before the conquest, and that only a few generations of British rule wrecked India. I read Noam on that issue (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#nehru) nearly 30 years ago (in his Year 501 (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38343.Year_501)), and this was a detailed accounting of what Noam wrote about.
In academic parlance, what the British did to India was destroy its “human capital,” as it turned a vibrant agrarian/mercantile economy into one big plantation for the British. The Spanish did the same thing to Mesoamerica (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#aztec1), and it really was one of the chief impacts of colonialism: the enslavement of conquered peoples, which denied them their “self-determination.” Hitler did it to Poland, and the USA did it to Iraq (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) (Libya (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya), etc.).
All of this recent reading on the Industrial Revolution, Scientific Revolution, and Europe’s conquest of humanity is merely more investigation of what makes the human journey what it has been, and I doubt that I can improve on those three factors that I recently wrote about (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page4?p=2702&viewfull=1#post2702), and have been writing about for many years. If you combine energy, human intelligence, and tools together right, you build “human capital,” and societies with more human capital are better at solving problems. That was the point of several of Ian Morris’s books, which I will cover in my essay update, but it is going to be even more emphasized in my essay update, to help make the Fifth Epoch’s potential (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) even clearer.
Technologies are on the planet today (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) that make the Fifth Epoch feasible, but they are sequestered from public awareness and use, and all independent attempts to develop them have been wiped out (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), for reasons of earthly power. And almost nobody on Earth today has a productive understanding of that issue. The public awareness and reaction is along these lines:
Most are ignorant of it (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0);
Those who became aware to some degree almost always react with denial (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) or fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5);
For the few who get past ignorance, denial, or fear, they nearly all have either a complacent (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level4) or hopeless (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level8) acceptance of the situation;
For those extremely few who want to “do something” about it, they nearly invariably advocate paths of disaster (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches).
I am trying something different (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). As I have written plenty (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page4?p=2702&viewfull=1#post2702), individual human intelligence has not increased for 60,000 years, and might have actually declined (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page27?p=2698&viewfull=1#post2698). Even in the Fifth Epoch, at least the early Fifth Epoch, I don’t expect native human intelligence to increase, but the increase in “human capital” will be hard to imagine. When warfare (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), poverty (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), crime, and environmental devastation (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate) become distant memories, markers of our primitive past, the human potential is going to be tapped in ways that we really can’t imagine today, although I have provided plenty of hints (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#longer), which are merely the fairly predictable outcomes of a world based on abundance (https://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance), not scarcity (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant).
And, understandably (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), almost nobody on the planet today can even imagine what I am writing about, but I seek the few (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) who are willing and able to (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why).
So, all of this study is mainly about testing my ideas against the evidence, and I have very little question about what lies ahead for humanity if we can turn the corner and use those technologies. The dogma of using those technologies will be safety and harmlessness. If that becomes the new religion, then all will be well, and that seemingly fairytale future (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) is not far off. That is all that I am trying to do. It seems worthwhile, doesn’t it? :)

Gandhi learned much from corresponding with Leo Tolstoy, whose book The Kingdom of God is Within You exposes the mental slavery imposed on Russia by its monarchical government working in concert with the authoritarian religious government of the Russian Orthodox Church. That church banned Tolstoy's book, yet the Church required its seminary students to be able to refute Tolstoy's book but were not allowed to read it themselves. I read this book by Tolstoy about 20 years ago and learned a great deal from it. The names of the political and religious governments extant during Tolstoy's later life could be replaced with those of any other nation (e.g., British Empire and Church of England or Holy Roman Empire and Roman Catholic Church) and Tolstoy's main thesis can easily be seen as a universal truth. The political and religious systems in control of nations have always supported each other as being necessary, all powerful, and ordained by God, leaving the masses powerless and unable to think outside the dual government box.

Thanks Bill:
I have Tolstoy’s novels on my Kindle, but didn’t have that work, and I just put it on my Kindle for $0.99. High-tech! :)
That unholy union of the priesthood and the ruling class (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1) goes back to the first civilization. In the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), that will finally end. That alliance is a feature of a world of scarcity.

Hi:
I just took a look, and was sadly not surprised. Ed wrote about what Obama and Hillary did to Libya (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya), and I made one of my few editorial additions to Ed’s bio (my tobacco section (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#tobacco) was another), noting that Libya had the 53rd highest standard of living on Earth in 2010, and the highest in Africa. I just looked up the UN’s 2019 report (http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/hdr2019.pdf), and Libya had fallen to 110th, lower than Botswana. After Gaddafi’s festive murder in 2011, Uncle Mike wrote about what Libyans will never see again (https://www.reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/7c41is/16_things_libya_will_never_see_again_by_michael/), and they certainly haven’t, so far, and likely not until the Fifth Epoch (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).
Syria went from 111th in 2010 to 154th in 2019, which Ed also wrote plenty about (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#syria). I was also able to find the UN report for 1990 (http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/reports/219/hdr_1990_en_complete_nostats.pdf), before Iraq got on our hit list (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#attacking), and it ranked 55th out of 130 (42nd percentile). In 2019, it ranked 120th out of 189 (63rd percentile).
That is the kind of “freedom” that the USA blesses nations with, with its missiles, bombs, drones, etc., especially if they are sitting on “our” oil and are not sufficiently servile.
American foreign policy is the greatest force of evil on Earth.

Hi:
I finished A Farewell to Alms (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/150437.A_Farewell_to_Alms) yesterday, and I am nearing the end of my studies for now on when and why the Industrial Revolution happened, its relationship to the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and Europe’s conquest of humanity. I have long written about economists (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), and I don’t have a lot of respect for the profession. I see them as largely being intellectual warriors for the ruling class, which in the West means the capital class. In that way, they are little different from the media (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#manufacturing), and Noam made the case that the media’s subservience to capital is only a special case (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#filters) of the pressures that all intellectuals in capitalist societies are subject to.
Just as the American media has never called out the USA’s imperial crimes (they are only “mistakes (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#mistake)” at worst), economists can always be counted on to quickly skim over the West’s imperial crimes, if they are mentioned at all. That is not just an ideological device to keep their audience calm, but it often destroys the explanatory power of their work, and so it is with A Farewell to Alms.
A central theme of A Farewell to Alms has been the “divergence” between the West and non-industrialized nations (AKA the world’s poor), which has been a popular academic theme lately. As I mentioned in a recent post (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay/page4?p=2713&viewfull=1#post2713), the primary reason for the “divergence” between the British and Indian economy was that the British violently conquered India, and within a few generations, destroyed India’s “human capital.” That is what European empires did since Spain and Mesoamerica (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#aztec1), and continues to this day, with what the USA and friends have done (and continue to do) to Iraq (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), Libya (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#libya), Syria (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm#syria), Iran (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iran), etc., as I wrote about last night (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page9?p=2714&viewfull=1#post2714), nations that “coincidentally” sat on lucrative oil deposits and were not subservient to the West. Venezuela has been under an economic siege from the USA for a generation, and it has lasted generations for Cuba, for the laughable reason of “human rights,” as the USA installed and propped up the bloodiest Latin American regimes ever (https://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#central).
When Hitler invaded Poland, it was the first step in his plans to clear Eastern Europe for German “settlement,” as the Anglo-Americans did to the American Indian (which inspired Hitler’s plan (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hitler)), and the Germans quickly set about murdering all of Poland’s professionals, in preparation for turning Poland into a Jew-free land of peasants, to be worked to death building the infrastructure for those German “settlers.” Wipe out the human capital, and the rest is easy.
What was kind of ludicrous about A Farewell to Alms was that a major aim of the book was to explain the divergence between the UK and India, and the effects of India’s violent conquest, subjugation, and destruction of its human capital was largely not covered in the book. It is as if the British just kind of stumbled into India, and tried to help those poor, backward Indians, with its “free trade.” Of course, Clark is another Brit who became an American professor, similar to Ian Morris and many others. I won’t say that reading A Farewell to Alms was a complete waste of time. I knew of it long ago (it was published in 2007), and figured it was some kind of Establishment apology. I just read this scathing review (https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/triumph-wills/), which was typically how the left received (http://faculty.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/gclark/a_farewell_to_alms.html) it when it was published.
Of the books I read on why the Industrial Revolution happened in England, this one (https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Revolution-Perspective-Approaches-Economic/dp/0521687853) by Robert Allen has been among the most impressive, and he tore apart (http://faculty.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/gclark/Farewell%20to%20Alms/Allen_JEL_Review.pdf) A Farewell to Alms. Parthasarathi (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11461427-why-europe-grew-rich-and-asia-did-not) takes issue with some of the data that Allen used, and this academic merry-go-round will continue to turn.
I also recently finished this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23528818-why-did-europe-conquer-the-world) on why Europe conquered the world. It is the same conclusion that I read from Noam long ago, that Europe conquered because of its unique mastery of violence. Ian Morris (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/124-Updating-My-Big-Essay?p=1605&viewfull=1#post1605) wrote on these subjects, too, and I read several of his books.
In some ways, all of that is irrelevant to what I am trying to do, but in other ways it is. The Industrial Revolution is the most dramatic Epochal event so far in the human journey, and I propose one that is far more dramatic (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). What all Epochs have in common is that nobody could see them coming (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). The Industrial Revolution was a century old before anybody realized that it was a revolution, and I am sure that it was far less evident for the other events. But even the Industrial Revolution happened before a science of energy (https://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#industrial) existed, so nobody even had a theoretical framework for why it was happening. At least today’s economists understand that without tapping coal energy, the Industrial Revolution could not have happened. I am not saying that all of their debates on why the Industrial Revolution happened when and why are trivial, but they are also not all that relevant to what I am doing.
There was no hidden technology that held back the Industrial Revolution, there was no global elite (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) who made sequestering that technology a science, as well as keeping it secret (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/108-The-Global-Controllers?p=1173&viewfull=1#post1173) and wiping out (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) any independent efforts to develop it. In that way, what I am arguing for is unprecedented, with unprecedented obstacles, which requires an unprecedented approach. It has become wearying to see all of the “bright ideas (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches)” for making free energy happen, which are unworkable and even suicidal. They are all firmly rooted in delusions about how our world really works.
I have written before on what I hoped would happen during my partnership with Dennis: fund the free energy R&D from the profits from selling the heat pump (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/152-The-Anatomy-of-Libel?p=2492&viewfull=1#post2492). Dennis didn’t do that, but tried to fund it by selling business opportunities. That approach was doomed to failure, particularly with the organized suppression. One thing I got out of Allen’s book (https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Revolution-Perspective-Approaches-Economic/dp/0521687853) was how early industrial technology development worked in England. It was funded by venture capitalists. Venture capitalism was not new. Columbus’s voyages (https://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#first) were funded by the Crown, as were numerous early voyages of “discovery” and conquest. State support was often necessary, but private fortunes were also amassed by the successful, such as Columbus and Cortés (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#aztec). Drake’s pirate expedition (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#drake) on behalf of Queen Elizabeth made him England’s richest private citizen. But private venture capitalists generally funded England’s technical development during the Industrial Revolution.
With Industrial Revolution inventing, as I have written before (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/29-Chapter-20-Epochal-Event-3-5-%C2%96-The-Rise-of-Europe?p=2705&viewfull=1#post2705), the inventors themselves almost never profited from their inventions. About the only inventors to get rich were those who mounted successful businesses around their inventions, not from royalties.
After the dust settled from my first stint with Dennis, I strongly suspected that the businessman’s approach to free energy was hopeless (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=710&viewfull=1#post710), and after the second stint (https://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), I was certain of it. The biggest problem, by far, is that personal integrity is vanishingly rare (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis/page6?p=708&viewfull=1#post708) in today’s world. Until that issue is acknowledged, the aspirants sail unerringly toward catastrophe (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). The GCs (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are the epitome of a lack of integrity, but it exists at all levels, in all professions and industries. That is just what a world of scarcity and fear (https://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) looks like. Of course, the conceit among all of them is that they are the noble ones, selflessly serving humanity, and “coincidentally” raking in the dough. The ranks of the global cartels (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/21-The-rackets) are filled with people like that, but it is just typical of all in-group (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) thinking. Greed is a virtue (https://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), and the rest of that self-serving insanity. Approaching the billionaire “philanthropists (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/158-Billionaire-Philanthropists-and-Visionaries-and-the-Fifth-Epoch?p=2639&viewfull=1#post2639),” governments (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1), NGOs, “progressives (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2),” and the like is all worthless behavior, other than maybe learning a little more about how the world really works, if the aspirants survive the experience.
Very rarely will members of the rackets ever wake up and refuse to stay quiet about it, such as Ralph (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2266&viewfull=1#post2266). He nearly did not survive his moment of awakening (https://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), and had hell to pay for going public with it (https://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#secrecy). Ed’s libelous Wikipedia biography (https://ahealedplanet.net/wikiprop.htm#wikipedia) is just one more example of how our system really works.
So, explaining the Industrial Revolution, Scientific Revolution, Enlightenment, and Europe’s conquest of humanity has a certain relevance to my work, but it is not all that important.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
It is picture time! I have been getting in more than my fair share of hiking, without punching the clock these days. This time of the year yields many “Here comes Gandalf (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page23?p=2155&viewfull=1#post2155)” moments. The daffodils have bloomed in my yard, but the violets in my favorite local mountain have yet to make their appearance. Soon, though.
This past week, I hiked on a trail that I used to hike with Brent (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page21?p=2087&viewfull=1#post2087). I had not been on that mountain since his death. It was an emotional morning for me. My destination on Tuesday is now called Stan’s Overlook (https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/rattlesnake-mountain). I had not been there for about 15 years. I tried to take my nephew there last weekend, but there were hundreds of cars where I remembered the trailhead being, so we bagged it and instead took one of my sneaky trails where we hardly saw anybody. I returned on Tuesday, when there were only a handful of cars (the difference between weekday and weekend hiking is now dramatic). I was a little disoriented, looking for the trailhead that Brent and I often hiked from. It was nothing more than a trail that began at the road, with no markings that I recall. When I found the trailhead, I was shocked to find that it was in the same park where Brent’s memorial (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page23?p=2136&viewfull=1#post2136) was held. So, I had been to the trailhead without even knowing it. That park is new (https://www.ci.snoqualmie.wa.us/Facilities/Facility/Details/Snoqualmie-Point-Park-19) to me. This is the upside and downside of what Gates and Bezos have wrought. The mountain has now been changed into well-marked trails for hikers, and separate trails for mountain bikes. It is hard to recognize the place now.
There is little chance of getting lost, like Brent got us lost the day that we hiked the mountain from end-to-end (which added a few more miles to the day, and I lost a toenail because of it – a 14-mile day, instead of the planned 11 – Brent had a certain talent for adventure and getting lost :) ). So, the mountain is far more civilized than it used to be. It lost something because of that, but far more people enjoy the mountain today. But just like my favorite local mountain today, part of this mountain is also closed for logging operations. So, even the local mountains that have been “saved” from becoming housing developments (that was the plan in the 1960s, before the conservation movement saved them) are still being logged.
Forests are not going to be logged (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#forest2) in the Fifth Epoch.

Hi:
I think that I mentioned it before, but Brent has now almost entirely disappeared from the Internet, other than my posts on him (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page21?p=2087&viewfull=1#post2087). The Internet is so ephemeral. My bio of Ed (https://ahealedplanet.net/herman.htm) is the only existing one. My essay on Brian (https://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm) is the closest thing to a bio of him today, as are my writings on Gary (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/123-Gary-Wean-Me-and-the-JFK-Hit?p=1398&viewfull=1#post1398) and Dennis (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/93-Lessons-learned-from-my-journey-with-Dennis?p=574&viewfull=1#post574). My eulogies of Owen (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/130-Owen-Dykema-Rocket-Scientist-and-Key-Figure-in-My-Journey?p=1653&viewfull=1#post1653) and Art (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page17?p=1799&viewfull=1#post1799) are the only ones that exist, I am the only friend of Ralph’s (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/148-Ralph-McGehee-the-CIA-and-Me?p=2266&viewfull=1#post2266) who has something on him on the Internet, and now I have Pam’s eulogy (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/160-Pam-Hanna-My-Friend-and-Editor). This is one of the prices of growing old. I am about the last man standing among my circle (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures). Everybody else is on the sidelines or dead. I am still trying to make a dent, however. :)
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As an addendum to this post (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/105-My-Edward-Herman-biography-project/page9?p=2714&viewfull=1#post2714) on our recent imperial triumphs, the Human Development Index might be a little abstract for people, although it is currently the best standard of living measure that we have. Here is something a little less abstract. Here is a graph (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1072199/life-expectancy-iraq-historical/) (and attached) of Iraq’s life expectancy trend. And here is Syria’s (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1072257/life-expectancy-syria-historical/) (and attached). You can actually see what the USA did to them (with a little help from imperial sycophants such as the UK and France).
As a preamble, everything between the West and those oil-rich nations can only be understood in the context that those nations have the world’s last easy oil (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroi1), which the West has coveted for more than a century (https://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#churchill1). Everything else is noise, but you wouldn’t know it, if all you read were imperial pundits (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), who are about all that the media serves up for Western consumption.
The Middle Eastern and African nations are all imperial inventions in the first place, as the conquerors carved up those peoples along imperial lines. Saddam Hussein started out as a failed hit man whom the USA put up in Cairo, before his rise to power. The USA overthrew Iran’s government (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iran) when they nationalized the UK’s oil concessions, and the Shah’s reign was as despotic as they come; Iran officially had the worst human rights record on Earth during his reign, with torture chambers, etc. When Iran finally overthrew the Shah, our man Saddam waged a war against Iran that lasted for a decade. Both Iran’s (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1072198/life-expectancy-iran-historical/) (and attached) and Iraq’s life expectancies dipped by several years, beginning in the 1980s, which reflected that war, in which a million soldiers died. Those dips represent shortened lives. The USA helped both sides, and the mutual slaughter was a “win-win” for the USA.
Of course, Iran, like Cuba, Venezuela, etc., has been under economic siege by the USA, which is part of its “low-intensity” strategy, which has caused untold misery in those nations. Since 1985, Iran has clawed back, and is up to 76 years, from 52 in 1985, for nearly a 50% increase, no thanks to the USA.
Iraq’s also rebounded after 1985, after dipping by more than three years since 1980. Even through the genocidal sanctions (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#continuing) that killed a half million children, in 2000, it rose to 69, versus 58 in 1985. Then it declined again, courtesy of the American invasion and occupation, which is the greatest crime of the 21st century so far. Iraq has suffered several million excess deaths since the 1990s (https://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). Afghanistan has fared similarly, and even worse, if we go back to its imperial pawn status in 1979 (https://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/34-History?p=2707&viewfull=1#post2707), courtesy of the Big Zbig.
In 1980, Iraq was the most secular Arab nation, and its life expectancy was five years longer than Iran’s. Today, it is five years shorter. We fat, comfortable, Westerners can barely comprehend that.
Similarly, the USA put Syria on its hit list, and Hillary the Psychopath (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlz3-OzcExI) was supposed to burnish her foreign policy credentials to a presidential shine in Syria. Syrian life expectancy fell by five years (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1072257/life-expectancy-syria-historical/), between 2010 and 2015, which is all our doing.
These bare statistics represent millions of shortened lives, and awesome misery for the survivors.
And try to find Americans, particularly white Americans, who know or care about any of that. There aren’t many of them.
Best,
Wade
