WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

Hi:

One thing I forgot to add is that for those studying holocaust and genocides, targeting a group for destruction and carrying it out does not mean that they all died violently, or that even the violent deaths all had “made in the USA” on the weapons. When a people is targeted for destruction, as the Iraqi and Afghani peoples were, the means of destruction can be quite varied, and can even seem unintentional, like “collateral damage.” There is no such thing as collateral damage, especially in the imperial context. If you go on a high-speed chase through the streets to catch a “crook” and run over children in a crosswalk, they are not “collateral damage,” but easily foreseen consequences of driving through a town at 150 KPH. That the drivers did not intend to kill those particular children does not mean that that they knew damn well that innocents would die if they drove through town like that.

Genocidal activities include straight imperial violence, such as the bombings of Iraq and Afghanistan, “lighting” up a street or slaughtering drivers at roadblocks. Hell, the USA’s troops took “trophy shots” of people killed that way. But bombing out a nation’s infrastructure and then waging an embargo against them so they could not build it, and consequently multitudes of children died because of contaminated water supplies, for instance:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kuwait

also qualifies as genocide. What the Israelis are doing the Palestinians qualifies as genocide, very ironically. When the USA targets a nation and its infant mortality rate then skyrockets, or they get the world’s highest rate of cancer from the depleted uranium and other highly toxic weaponry dropped on them, that is genocide. The effects were easily predictable and in fact were predicted by many before the invasion.

When the USA destroyed all of Iraq’s institutions except for the Oil ministry, and helped create a lawless environment and ethnic and religious wars, that is genocide: an easily predictable outcome of the USA’s behavior.

When the USA presided over the Nuremberg trial, the ultimate crime the Nazis were convicted of was offensive wars that disturbed the peace, and the Nazis were responsible for the accumulated evil that attended those invasions. The same standard applies to the USA. In fact, the judge at Nuremberg, an American, told his associates that we were making ourselves accountable for the Nazis’ crimes if we did the same thing, and we have, many times, since World War II. The blood is on my hands and those of my fellow Americans. Blaming Bush and the neocons does not cut it. That other nations were also complicit does not remove our responsibility, and feigning ignorance of the fate of the very peoples that we invaded and slaughtered is really scraping the bottom of the barrel, integrity-wise. That a Jew in Australia is about the only person in the West actually computing the death toll of its victims speaks volumes about the West’s collective integrity, as in it does not have any. And that has everything to do with why we do not have FE today:

Hi:

As may be obvious, my essay will be generalist in nature. Generalists “specialize” in seeing patterns and connections, and the best try to not overgeneralize or stray far from the details, or else their generalizations will tend to be invalid.

That said, deifying and heroifying elites happened from the very beginnings of civilization, and casting rape and plunder in a benign and even heroic and divine light was pretty typical. Somewhere along the line, rape and plunder stopped becoming heroic, so a different tactic was taken, and what became seen as crimes were swept under the rug, while elites were still heroified and deified. Often enough, actual crimes were transformed by ideologists into heroic deeds, turning reality upside down.

But making elite crimes invisible became common, and the way that English peasants were pushed off the land and into mines and factories is one of those instances, and the classical economists abetted those crimes by ignoring them in their theorizing.

As I have been reading a book on energy-based economics, the authors got kind of pissed at the economics profession as it has worshipped money and been oblivious to energy. Because early economists did their work before the science of energy arose, their blindness was somewhat understandable, but for economists of the past 150 years or so, to ignore energy and the real economy in favor of models of equilibrium that assumed production and homogenized everything into money and then performed calculus-based analytics – well, what the hell were they thinking? This is an early example of what could be called pseudoscience, where a discipline presents itself as scientific when it is not.

As I write the chapter on the rise of oil and electricity, making energy invisible in economic theory seems to be another trick in the bag of making elites invisible. The leading institution in economic theory is the University of Chicago, and they have been notorious for their worship of money in their theories.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago...28economics%29

More than any other recent institution, they have made energy invisible in economic theory. The school’s greatest patron was John Rockefeller. So, the world’s greatest energy mogul reshaped the economics school that helped make energy invisible. Hmmm. I can see that raising the eyebrows of conspiracists, and there may be something to it.

Hi:

Here is a revised snippet of what I am working on. Heavy lifting…

Best,

Wade


When Herman Melville wrote Moby-Dick, published in 1851, whaling expeditions had lengthened from brief excursions near Nantucket to three-year voyages that circled the world, hunting the remaining whales. American whaling peaked in 1847, in a classic resource depletion scenario, as whaling’s EROI fell fast. The primary whale product was oil for lighting lamps. In 1848, the USA completed the theft of more than half of Mexico, beginning with the seizure of Texas. The next year, the biggest gold rush in American history began, and the rabble got to California any way it could. The genocide of the remaining natives began in earnest, with California’s first governor declaring an open season on natives. The Pacific whaling fleet was crippled when its crews deserted in San Francisco and swarmed into the Sierra’s gold fields.

In 1859, the USA’s first commercial oil well was drilled, and its Civil War began the next year. The southern rebels sank most of the Pacific whaling fleet during the war, and that, combined with the petroleum industry’s establishment, spelled the end of American whaling. Railroads were the USA’s first big businesses, and in the 1860s the first transcontinental railroad was built. The telegraph was an early use of electricity, and it proliferated with the railroads, usually running alongside the rails as the USA expanded across the continent. Those railroads were instrumental in the extinction of the passenger pigeon, the near-extinction of the bison, and the disappearance of the American frontier. As with World War II, the USA’s Civil War was an industrial opportunity. The Civil War stimulated the North’s industrial production. In 1830, the USA’s industrial production was a quarter of the UK’s, a third in 1860, two-thirds in 1880, and a third greater in 1900. On the eve of World War I, the USA’s industrial production was more than twice the UK’s, with the USA far and away Earth’s greatest industrial power. It grew even more dominant by 1929, and was virtually alone on the world stage in 1945.

The USA has been a plutocracy since the very beginning, with George Washington being the USA’s richest man; a slave-owning land baron whose armies he commanded made him richer. John Jay was the USA’s first Supreme Court Chief Justice, and strongly believed that those who own the nation should govern it. Probably beginning with Zachary Taylor, assassinating American presidents became a sport, with Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt, Kennedy, Ford, and Reagan subject to assassination attempts that were usually successful, and presidential candidates Robert Kennedy and George Wallace were also subjected to assassination attempts. Only the Lincoln assassination has been widely acknowledged to have been part of a conspiracy. Every other time it was attributed to a “lone nut” assassin, if the weak conclusion given by the second official John Kennedy assassination investigation is discounted. I have no doubt that John Kennedy’s death resulted from a conspiracy, and in 2013, for the first time ever, the Kennedy family publicly stated the truth: the Kennedy family never believed the “lone nut” theory regarding John’s murder. Robert Kennedy’s son made that public admission, and if the Kennedys never believed the official story for John’s murder, they certainly do not believe it for Robert’s murder. The Kennedys have not revealed that opinion yet, but they probably do not need to. Fear is what likely kept them silent for fifty years. I consider it very possible that none of those assassinations and attempts were the work of “lone nuts.”

With its skyrocketing industrial growth, economic empires grew as never before and the USA’s Gilded Age was born, dominated by robber barons. Industrial, financial, pharmaceutical, and other empires were born or began steep growth trajectories during the Civil War, with John Davison Rockefeller’s oil empire the most notorious and successful. Rockefeller established an oil refining business in 1863 after careful study of the new industry. As with bears and early elites, Rockefeller quickly realized that controlling production was unnecessary. If he positioned himself properly between the producers and market, he could control the entire industry. Rockefeller’s father was a genuine snake oil salesman and con man who mentored his sons and was John’s early financier. John Rockefeller was a genius. He used the rich man’s exemption and bought his way out of military service in the Civil War and began building his empire. He decided that controlling refining and distribution was the path to dominance. He negotiated kickbacks from the railroads used to transport oil, but took it further when he negotiated kickbacks on the railroad traffic of his competitors, in one of history’s most clever and unscrupulous plans. Beginning in Cleveland, he used his shrewd kickback scheme and various carrots and sticks to wipe out or buy out all other refiners. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil eliminated the hundreds of small refiners that formed the initial industry. By 1879, his empire controlled 95% of American oil refining, setting the stage for him to become history’s richest person, with nearly ten times the relative wealth of Bill Gates. Recalcitrant Standard Oil competitors could have mysterious explosions destroy their refineries, and more than one came to an untimely demise, but if Rockefeller’s prey put up a good fight or showed talent, he hired them and soon amassed a team unmatched in capability and ruthlessness. John Rockefeller only became excited when pondering how rich he would become. He became a “philanthropist” early on but it was plainly a fake designation, as became evident with the Ludlow Massacre in 1914.

The Rockefeller Empire’s tale is far from an irrelevant historical curiosity. During my days of pursuing free energy, we encountered the Rockefeller name many times. Companies they controlled were directly involved with wiping out energy companies that we worked with. When my partner was offered about a billion dollars to fold up our operations, the Rockefellers may well have been involved, and we later had direct dealings with Rockefeller heirs, including one of the biggest names. The Rockefeller Empire was likely behind some of the organized suppression activities that we experienced. Long after I “retired” from the field, my partner kept trying to make an impact before he was run out of the USA, soon after direct contact from the Rockefeller Empire. Rothschild interests were also involved. The Rockefellers and Rothschilds are subjects of many conspiracy theories today, and our encounters demonstrated that the allegations may not be groundless. However, the fact that they identified themselves by name means, to me, that they are no longer at the top of the global power structure, if they ever really were. The people who really run the world are not household names. I call them the Global Controllers, my partner called them the Big Boys, and a leading name in the free energy field called them “Godzilla.” Whatever name is used, the organization is real. We also had dealings with them, and they do not identify themselves by name. They act through intermediaries and have developed their cloak-and-dagger into a science. Whether it was the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, or Global Controllers, we never contacted them, but they contacted us.

Anybody knowledgeable about that milieu realizes that naming names is dangerous and I usually make it a point to not know the names. Others who should know have named some organizations or, more accurately, factions of some organizations. We also had encounters with provocateurs from those organizations when they helped destroy our companies. This can be a difficult and delicate subject, and what follows is my view as of early 2014, which has not changed much for a decade or more. Sitting American presidents operate far below the tops of those organizations, in the dark and out of the loop, and they all know that they are not near the top. They have power of a sort, but are largely actors, not necessarily following orders, but they know their place or have a good idea what it is, and they cannot impact important issues. The last president who thought he could was John Kennedy, and he was rudely disabused of that notion.

From the beginnings of civilization, all elites have always played the same games, which were concerned with gaining economic power as path to political power. All ruling classes exploited those they ruled. The elites of city-states, whether it was Sumer or Mesoamerica, tried conquering their neighbors by using soldiers, and could thereby form larger polities. Nations and empires have constantly formed, fragmented, and fallen over the millennia, and they almost always fell because they ran out of energy. Greed and megalomania can never be satiated, and those in thrall to those conditions continually feed their addictions. Psychologists have found that psychopaths often become successful politicians and corporate executives, as their affliction works to their advantage where amassing wealth and power are primary organizational goals. For those who have encountered today’s hyper-elite and lived to tell about it, the evils that attend that environment are difficult for “normal” people to understand. Those at the top have taken greed and a lust for power to nearly inconceivable levels. Just as John Rockefeller hired talented psychopaths, so do the Global Controllers. I have encountered their agents and they were talented, I will grant them that. People who succeed in that domain have particular traits, many of which could be called evil. The man responsible for the death of a woman in our organization tried to blame my former partner for her death at the funeral. He likely worked for the Global Controllers, but he was a contract agent, as many are. He later defrauded the public with the skills he used to help destroy our company. People like him do not have consciences. He would have likely done well in Hitler’s SS, for instance.

What psychologists call psychopaths or sociopaths, mystics call dark pathers and other terms. Such people have simply made self-service a science, and reaching high levels of “evil” requires great commitment. Genghis Kahn was a busy man, slaughtering millions and leaving behind millions of descendants. That takes hard work and a sense of duty. When evil-minded people revealed their true motivations to me (usually as they sank in their figurative daggers), I was impressed, in a horrified way. Dark path professionals were sicced on us, and being on the receiving end of their evil deeds engendered a certain kind of awe.

But the dark path is dark indeed, and while indoctrination and other kinds of limbic conditioning help form “cohesion” in societies, in the ranks of the Global Controllers and other criminal organizations the carrots and sticks that hold those organizations together can be breathtaking. I avoid knowing too much about it, as it is damaging to a normal person’s psyche to become aware of such activities. I was damaged by merely studying the Jewish Holocaust, the genocide of the Western Hemisphere’s natives, and today’s recent and continuing imperial genocides inflicted by my nation. Those diabolical global organizations are always in danger of fragmenting, as everybody vies for wealth and power, and I doubt that there is an unbroken line of conspiring elites that stretches back to civilization’s beginnings. They have risen and fallen along with their civilizations, and they could only play a regional game at most. However, with Europe’s conquest of the world, power-addicted elites could begin thinking on a global scale for the first time. Therefore, I would not be surprised to discover that some elite organizations have a pedigree that stretches back for centuries, and conspiracists have long traced those lineages. But my impression is that turnover regularly happens at the top. With retail dynasties (Rome, Mayans, European royalty), they could trust relatives more than others, so heredity played a role, and it apparently does with the Global Controllers. A relative nearly tried to recruit me into the family “business,” and his employers played at a higher level than John Perkins’s employers did, but it still seemed down a level or two from the Global Controllers’ stratum.

One major problem with the Global Controllers and making a positive impact on a global level is that almost nobody focuses on what is important. Conspiracists tend to obsess on elite machinations, but they often become paranoid and often confuse retail elites with the Global Controllers. David Rockefeller is not one of them, nor are the Rothschilds. They play at high levels, but not at the top. Also, what I learned from my journey is that hyper-elites can only play their games with the responsibility that almost all people have abdicated as they play the victim. The Global Controllers are really a symptom of our malaise, not a cause. They cannot be beaten at their game, and it is foolish and even suicidal to try. The best we can do is making them obsolete. While conspiracists often focus obsessively on elite machinations, academics and scientists tend to deny that the hyper-elites even exist. It took me many years to understand their resistance to even acknowledging hyper-elite existence, and I think it partly relates to the mainstream scientific worldview that considers consciousness nothing more than a byproduct of biochemical reactions. They have an ideological aversion to the notion that anybody manipulates events on a global scale, and believe that the situation can be explained as anarchic elites merely competing with each other. They believe that conspiracists see a pattern where none exists or that the situation can be explained without invoking conscious intent, just like their materialistic theories of how the universe operates. Radical leftists have openly admitted their ideological aversion to the existence of such elites. Neither obsession nor denial is helpful for attaining productive understandings of the issue. Conspiracists and structuralists are united in thinking like victims, and that, as I see it, is their primary limitation. Until they relinquish thinking like a victim, they will not constructively engage the critical issues that humanity faces, energy above all else.

This essay will return to that theme, but will put it aside for now. One lesson I learned from interacting with that level of the global game is that there is often more than meets the eye happening with global events, and accepting them at face value is a delusionary path. That stated, documented history and archeological and other physical evidence can provide important insights, and this essay will continue along a scientist/historian’s path for now.

Other robber baron empires have had profound and continuing effects on not just the course of industrial and national trajectories, but the very path of science and medicine. Andrew Mellon parlayed his robber baron heritage into becoming the USA’s Secretary of the Treasury, and presided over fluoride (ionized fluorine) beginning its surreal makeover from toxic industrial waste to a tooth’s best friend. Mellon controlled the world’s largest fluoride polluter at the time. It was also the world’s largest aluminum producer, and enjoyed an American monopoly. There is virtually no credible data or theory that justifies fluoride’s status as a safe or effective cavity preventative for children, and indisputable evidence that it is a highly effective enzyme poison, used in biological laboratories today for that purpose. Revisiting that “lock-and-key” analogy for enzymes, hydrogen bonds help form the lock’s shape. An ion with an extra electron will be more negatively charged than any part of an uncharged molecule that unevenly shares electrons, such as in water and organic molecules, where hydrogen atoms attain a slightly negative charge. Consequently, negatively charged ions will displace hydrogen bonds in molecules, particularly if the ions are small enough to slip into the molecules’ crevices. Because it is the smallest negatively charged ion known to science, the fluorine ion can replace a hydrogen atom in a molecule, thereby breaking the hydrogen bond. When fluorine ions disrupt an enzyme’s hydrogen bonds, the lock becomes “bent” and the key no longer fits. That is how fluoride poisons enzymes, and it damages more than enzymes; DNA’s double helix is held together by hydrogen bonds. The story of how industrial interests transformed fluoride into “medicine” is mind-boggling, and shows how severe the distortion of science and medicine has become. Lead, aluminum, and other elements also received industrial makeovers, and all three of them had early toxicity studies performed at an industrially funded laboratory that predictably gave a clean bill of health to all three.

Other industries were also fluoride polluters, and they helped shaped the “science” of fluoridation, most notably the nuclear industry, beginning with the Manhattan Project, whose involvement has been partly revealed by declassified documents. While the Manhattan Project’s research into fluorine toxicity is still largely classified (although what has been declassified is shocking enough), a study performed by that industrially funded lab showed fluoride’s dramatic harm to animals, and the results were buried. Because that study was performed by an unclassified industrial lab and not by the federal government, a researcher recently discovered it. Among the more alarming effects of fluoride is brain damage. A scientist who discovered that connection had her career wrecked, and the man who ran the Manhattan Project’s still-classified fluorine studies “consulted” on that scientist’s research. The average American, who is history’s most fluoridated person, has no awareness of the situation. The fluoride issue is one of many where physical, biological, and medical science became subservient to economic interests. Reality could be turned upside down, with poison turned into “medicine,” with such situations lasting to this day. People trying to rectify the crimes, both those of long ago and those continuing, can lose their careers or be branded “quacks,” “pseudoscientists,” “conspiracy theorists,” and the like. Edward Bernays designed the propaganda campaign to fluoridate the USA’s water supplies.

The Rockefeller and Mellon empires were only two of many built during and after the Civil War. J.P. Morgan got his start just before the Civil War began and made a quick ascent as a banker and financier. He participated in some of the most momentous events in U.S. and industrial history. It is a big story that this essay cannot do justice to, but he was ubiquitous, including masterminding what became arguably the biggest swindle of the American government to that time: the purchase of land for the Panama Canal in 1903; which was the largest payment yet made by the USA’s federal government. The future “trust-busting” president and Supreme Court Chief Justice was at the trough with Morgan on that swindle. After milking the government with his scheme, Morgan rode to the “rescue” in 1907 to quell a bank panic, and several years later, the Federal Reserve Act was snuck through when Capitol Hill was virtually empty, two days before Christmas. Earlier in the same year of 1913, the Income Tax Amendment was passed, which prepared the USA’s government to attain truly imperial stature. Those events have been grist for conspiracists for the past century, and many allegations may well be true. The most powerful Senator on Capitol Hill was Mark “Dollar” Hanna, a childhood friend of John Rockefeller and fixer for Standard Oil at a time when the corruption was open in Washington, with politicians routinely bought and sold by the robber barons.

Perhaps Morgan’s greatest industrial undertaking was participating in the epic battle between Thomas Edison and his former employee, Nikola Tesla. Edison himself was not a particularly brilliant inventor; many of his inventions were the result of his team’s hard work. Electric lighting is a good example, where his team engaged in brute force experimentation with thousands of filaments before they hit on something that worked in 1879, seemingly at Edison’s suggestion for the filament that finally worked. When the Wizard of Menlo Park demonstrated electric lights near his laboratory, he was widely pilloried for his “idiotic” idea, which was called a “fraud” foisted on the public by scientists who would not leave the comfort of their armchairs to go see for themselves. Morgan backed Edison’s electric light company and had the first home in New York lit by electricity. Edison was also notorious for stealing inventions, and there is even a tale of a rival inventor “disappearing,” Mafia-style. It was simply a sign of the times and an era we still live in.

In the flood of immigrants to the USA in the 1880s came the Serbian Tesla, who had already worked for an Edison company in France. After a dispute in 1885 when Tesla redesigned Edison’s inefficient motors and generators, and the reward that Tesla said Edison offered was not given, Tesla quit and began his own electric company. The investors soon kicked him out, leaving Tesla digging ditches in 1886-1887, and then he started another company.

Edison’s companies were beginning to electrify the world in the late 1880s, but they used direct current. Direct current has advantages over alternating current, but its great limitation is that resistance in electric lines quickly saps low-voltage direct current in heat losses. The higher the voltage of current transmitted over electric lines, the less proportional energy is lost to heating. Alternating current’s voltage could be stepped up by transformers and transmitted great distances with little line loss and then stepped back down for use, while direct current could not be manipulated that way. The primary upshot was that only one generator was needed to supply many miles of electric lines carrying alternating current electricity, while direct current electricity needed a generator every kilometer or so. The economies of scale of centralized generation made direct current a poor way to electrify the world when compared to alternating current. Edison was beaten from the beginning but did not go down without a fight; he is a household name today, while Tesla’s name languishes in obscurity (at least until a car company was named after him).

High voltages are dangerous for various reasons, but the risk of electrocution is the main one. Even though he was beaten by a superior technology, Edison engaged in a disgraceful campaign against alternating current. He had thousands of animals electrocuted in demonstrations of the dangers of alternating current, including horses and even an elephant in 1903. Although Edison was personally opposed to the death penalty, his commercial sensibilities overcame his personal qualms and he made his most notorious invention, the electric chair, powered with alternating current. The first execution with Edison’s new contraption was performed in 1890, where the victim was barbecued. By that time, Tesla had partnered with George Westinghouse in the battle against Edison, and Edison coined the term for execution by electrocution as being “Westinghoused.” By 1891, the short-lived “war” was largely over, with alternating current prevailing. In 1892, Edison’s company was absorbed into what became General Electric, which J.P. Morgan controlled, and Morgan was also Westinghouse’s financier.

The War of Currents nearly bankrupted Edison and Westinghouse, and Tesla relinquished his patent rights to his alternating current technology to Westinghouse for a modest lump sum in 1897. Tesla’s royalty agreement would have made him one of the world’s richest men, and humanity might have taken a different direction if not for the battle with Edison. Tesla immediately began thinking in terms of what could be called free energy. Tesla’s inventions were legion and sometimes stolen by contemporaries such as Marconi. In 1898, Tesla began designing a tower for producing radio signals, and construction commenced in 1901. Morgan was Tesla’s financier and was making money hand-over-fist with the alternating current technology that Tesla had relinquished his rights to. Tesla may have felt entitled to Morgan’s support. As Tesla built his radio tower, he began to tell of grander goals, such as producing energy that could be transmitted wirelessly to anywhere on Earth. His initial idea was tapping into the electric potential between Earth and its upper atmosphere, and anybody could put a device in their yard and use the current that Tesla induced. When Tesla made those proposals, however, the robber barons were making big investments in copper mines to electrify the nation. Morgan stopped funding Tesla’s idea in 1903, just when he and the Guggenheim family funded what became the world’s greatest copper mine. Many years later, Tesla’s official biographer, who knew him, said that when Tesla began writing “free energy” articles and talked publicly about it, another Wall Street financier heavily invested in copper mines told Morgan that Tesla was acting “crazy” with proposing free energy to everybody that nobody could meter. Wall Street then pulled the rug out from under Tesla, and he never regained his momentum. Tesla eventually advocated what today would be called Zero Point Energy, although he couched it in the form of cosmic rays. Tesla also originated an idea for a “death ray” weapon and other kinds of inventions that have cast him as a highly enigmatic figure. Upon his death in 1943, the FBI seized his papers, and there is plenty of conjecture and some evidence that there was a surreptitious earlier seizure by other governmental agents. There are some way-out speculations about Tesla, including time travel and myriad exotic technologies. While I have looked into them somewhat, I am not sure what to make of them, other than knowing that some of what some around me have witnessed makes the allegations seem not so outlandish.


And I do stuff like add this paragraph to an earlier chapter:


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


When I finish the first draft, there will be many changes, where I pull together the various pieces of the essay, making connections, reducing repetition, and the like. It won’t be light reading. My guess is that the essay will be like a textbook and will be read like one, where the reader takes on a chapter at a time, reading each one, taking the links, absorbing it before moving on to the next chapter. In order to gain the comprehensive perspectives that I think will be needed in order to really help FE along, that will likely be required. It won’t be for skimmers and quick-study artists. I can see the best students taking about a week per chapter, which means that they won’t come up for air for several months. But when they do, I will be there.

Back to work.

Reading about fluoride I realized that we have chemists and bio-chemists that know their science and have the tools to test this. They surely must know just how "safe" the fluoride is... and yet not a peep!

They must have children, lovers, wives, husbands and parents that will become the beneficiaries of Fluoride health (not mention the "fellow men"...). It's mind boggling that something so easily testable and explainable is still being suppressed. Even dentists must have learned about fluoride in their chemistry class, yet they still parrot the "good for your teeth" stuff.

I am however happy to report that since the beginning of 2014 I've seen fluoride attacked with viciousness and I will not be surprised if it gets completely banned by the end of this year! Fingers crossed!

Hi Ilie:

When the propaganda barrage for fluoridation began in the 1950s, half of dentists did not believe it, but they knuckled under. Yes, it can really be something to see how it ends up becoming “good for you.” Many scientists and dentists fought it, but it was bad for their careers. My dentist is a no-fluoride dentist, I think about the only one in Seattle.

What has been far more stupefying for me has been cancer treatment. I am going to a funeral tomorrow for a friend who died of brain cancer. She knew that I knew about alternatives, and the last time I saw her, she even asked me what I would have done. I told her, and she regarded it almost amusingly. I saw her on about her last good day. She was several years younger than me. She knew that with her cancer and mainstream treatments, she would only live a year or so, which is what it ended up being. She chose certain death over even looking into alternatives. I would have never even brought up alternatives to her, but she asked. I really did not try to sell her. I have another friend in the same circles with cancer, again younger than me, and I at least offered to point the person toward alternatives, but the person did not want to hear about it, and now I am hearing about how the treatment is going. It is not easy to watch.

So, the institutional control that leads to such evil situations is amazing to witness, but how everybody plays along, even to their deaths, is the mind-boggling part, to me.

Hi:

As I see my essay’s end in sight, I hear from pals periodically, and almost none of them understand. My essay will be available to anybody on Earth, and the forum I plan to mount will also be readable by anybody on Earth, but I am not targeting the masses in any way. My essay has been weaving in mass population control via indoctrination into concocted ideologies, which began with the very first civilizations. Before the Domestication Revolution, there really was not ideological indoctrination as such. The conditioning was more primal, with singing and dancing rituals, and painful rites of initiation for men, baking in both “loving” regard for the in-group and deadly regard for the out-group.

With the rise of civilization and professions, the priesthood engaged in an unholy union with the first elites, who were always commercial successes, to bend the civilization to their will and skim the economic surplus. It has only become more refined over the millennia, and has reached high levels of sophistication in modern times. However, when I looked at the major belligerents of the World Wars, the ideologies of nationalism, capitalism, and religion were all based on literal fairy tales, whether it was royalty, the capitalists, or national leaders. Mass-murdering thieves became heroic icons and divine figures. Even the personages of religion were so laden with fairy tales that the historical figures, if they even really existed, would not have recognized their iconic representations, much less the religions founded in their names. Science has a different kind of indoctrination, seeming to be more adult, but it also has many effective fairy tales that keep scientists within the rationalist-materialist paradigm, or what is also called logical positivism:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philoso...cal_positivism

which is still the religion of the “skeptics”:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends

and scientists operate from many unproven assumptions:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philoso...ic_assumptions

just as with any other ideological pursuit.

My work takes on all of that stuff, and since almost everybody kneels at at least one of those scarcity-based altars:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant

nearly everybody will get at least one of their oxen gored by my essay. I present the development of the ideologies in a way that the fairy tales of the dominant ideologies will become clear to readers. But, what I have found is that when somebody has their ideological teddy bears soiled, they respond in the same frame of mind they had when they had the fairy tales beaten into them, and their defenses/attacks are almost always infantile in nature. Again, I have never seen an attempt to invalidate my work that was honest, informed, and rational. Those who have given me honest, rational, and informed critiques were always trying to make my work better, not invalidate it.

So, almost nobody will be able to make it through my essay without having one of their cherished beliefs challenged, and my experience has shown me that less than one in a thousand can get past that. And the reason for their irrational adherence is two-fold: their beliefs feed them and give them egocentric strokes.

When my pals have tried to turn their family, friends, and co-workers on to my work, it almost always ended badly, and I have seen friendships, family relationships, and even careers end when dealing with the information in my essay. Back in the 1990s, I allowed myself to be put into the position of fielding responses by friends of my pals. It was highly educational:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#false

but I am not going to do it again. I am not interesting in interacting with those who are incapable of understanding my work, but the needles in haystacks that do. And, again, it really does not have much to do with “intelligence,” but people being able to relinquish their self-serving indoctrination. And only those who can do that are going to be candidates for joining the choir. That is the most basic requirement.

After meeting that minimum requirement, then they can begin to learn how the world really works, not how they were told it works. We only really learn through experience, and somebody usually has to have some kind of awakening experience that demonstrates the lies behind their indoctrination. When they have achieved that, in whatever ideology they saw through, seeing how the same process works for all ideologies will allow them to more easily see through the others and relinquish them, because they are all barriers to enlightenment, as they are all based on scarcity and fear. I am shooting for love and abundance, and that song has never been heard on Earth before, other than some lone voices in the wilderness such as Dennis and Brian, and even they still had some residual taste of Kool-Aid in their mouths. A choir singing the love and abundance song has never been heard on Earth before, and I fully expect that some of my pupils will one day sing far better than I can. I have been through the meat grinder a little too much. Relatively unscarred singers like Ilie will one day sing far better than I ever will.

Back to work.

Hi:

I am getting to a delicate part of the essay, but I am barreling ahead. When studying the World Wars, particularly World War II, the primary belligerents, from the American view, were the Americans, British, Germans, and Japanese. All four of them had nationalistic ideologies that were the equivalent of believing in Santa Claus. The British had the oldest, with their royalty worship, and the USA had its flag worship and Founding Fathers who were made to resemble Santa Claus:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#weems

with a literal effort to make Columbus a saint:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#saint

The Japanese created a religion where its emperor actually outranked the Creator, and Hitler did his best to recreate some kind of Golden Age that never was, making Roman iconography the Reich’s imagery, with all manner of ornate pageantry. Hitler’s salute looked just like the American Pledge of Allegiance, and only after going to war with Germany did Americans change the ritual:

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

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#flag

The USA’s craziness was never more evident than in the wake of 9/11:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc

and was used by Bush and company to invade nations and steal their resources:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading

while committing genocide that virtually nobody in the USA even acknowledges.

In every instance, those childish ideologies were designed to make imperial crimes somehow noble deeds and the destiny of those committing those awesome crimes. They believed in Santa Claus in order to justify genocide. Similar fairy tales were told about all figures in organized religion, and in the industrialized world, making moguls into saints has been the latest trend, but in the USA, it goes back to the robber barons. Bill Gates began to be treated like royalty in the late 1990s, when he became the world’s richest man through the monopolistic tactics of Microsoft.

As Seth once said, nobody can be more cruel than the self-righteous, and all of those ideologies were designed to create a self-righteous imperial class who would cheer on the violence.

I am dealing with these issues straight on for a very good reason: believing in Santa Claus means that a person is disconnected from reality, and only people with their feet firmly on the ground are going to be any help in what I will be attempting. Yoking one’s awareness to scarcity-based ideologies wrecks a person’s ability to imagine abundance. Joe Average will only begin to wake up when FE is delivered to his home:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli

and this is OK. All epochal events began that way. It was up to a small group to make the energy breakthrough that everybody else rode to higher levels of economic wellbeing and sentience. The epochal change itself was unimaginable to those living just before the change, and it is the same this time. Only a relative few visionaries who also get out of their easy chairs are going to get it done.

Back to work.

Hi:

Briefly, to expand a little on the previous post. The reason why I am not seeking people under the thrall of population management ideologies is that such people nearly invariably end up hurting FE efforts more than helping them. Not only do their delusions have them continually looking in the wrong directions, their allegiance to those scarcity-based ideologies also is like a bit in a horse’s mouth, and the social managers are professionals at grabbing the reins.

When people such as Mr. Deputy:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy

Bill the BPA Hit Man:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm

and Mr. Texas:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas

worked their evil, it was amazing to watch how effortlessly they manipulated people, by playing to their naivete, fears, greed, or all of them. Joe Average is putty in their hands, and that is why I say that nobody can out-herd the master shepherd. They easily got my own mother to turn on me:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...ure#post300436

Again, most people have to see it to believe it, but newbies need to get over that hurdle before they are going to be any help at all for making FE happen. Level 10 efforts:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level10

simply do not have a prayer in the current environment, which I learned the hard way.

Time for chores.

Hi:

I am doing heavy lifting, but the chapter is going well and I hope to finish it by this weekend. As usual, as I progress I am doing little course corrections, or, more properly, deciding to change where I end chapters and what to call them. I am going to end the chapter titled “Epochal Event 4.5 – The Rise of Oil and Electricity” with World War II, and the next chapter will be titled:

“The Post-War Boom, Peak Oil, and the Decline of Industrial Civilization”

Which will bring the narrative to today. I am 334 pages into it, and will be around 400 when I finish. Then it will be a chapter on the Fifth Epochal Event, which probably only free energy can initiate, and then it will be a chapter on the choice facing humanity: The Fifth Epochal Event or the Sixth Mass Extinction, one that might take us with it. Then it will be on what has not worked so far on initiating the Fifth Epochal Event and what might. That is where I think a choir will help. :)

Some days, it hits me how big the issues are that I have been dealing with for my entire life. We are at that moment when we either get over the hump or wipe ourselves out, in the most important transition that any ensouled species ever makes, and we all have a chance to profoundly impact the outcome. Who would not want to be a part of it? Nothing about my journey has been easy, but I can’t regret any of it.

What has made this current chapter harder in ways than the others is dealing with the rise of the robber barons and the Global Controllers. I have to tread on conspiratorial topics, some of which I have been very close to in my life. Dealing with them and keeping them in their proper perspective is not easy. It is emotionally loaded material, and I can see a lot of editorial fiddling coming for that chapter.

Back to work.

Wade

Hi:

I took a break this morning and added a little update to my financial scandal essay:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming

and tweaked the essay for stylistic changes. I am optimistic that I will get the latest essay chapter draft finished this weekend.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

This is one of those, I am sick of looking at the chapter moments, so I will move on to the next chapter. This chapter will likely get a little work done on it by the time I publish the essay. I have to split it into two parts, so here goes.

Best,

Wade

Epochal Event 4.5 – The Rise of Oil and Electricity – Part 1

When Herman Melville wrote Moby-Dick, published in 1851, American whaling expeditions had lengthened from brief excursions near Nantucket to three-year voyages that circled the world, hunting the remaining whales. American whaling peaked in 1847, in a classic resource depletion scenario, as whaling’s EROI fell fast. The primary whale “product” was oil for lighting lamps. In 1848, the USA completed the theft of more than half of Mexico, beginning with the seizure of Texas. The next year, the biggest gold rush in American history began, and the those seeking the easy money got to California any way they could. The genocide of California’s remaining natives began in earnest, with California’s first governor declaring an open season on natives. The Pacific whaling fleet was crippled when its crews deserted in San Francisco and swarmed into the Sierra’s gold fields.

In 1859, the USA’s first commercial oil well was drilled, and its Civil War began the next year. The southern rebels sank most of the Pacific whaling fleet during the war, and that, combined with the petroleum industry’s establishment, spelled the end of American whaling. Railroads were the USA’s first big businesses, and in the 1860s the first transcontinental railroad was built. The telegraph was an early use of electricity, and it proliferated with the railroads, usually running alongside the rails as the USA expanded across the continent. Those railroads were instrumental in the extinction of the passenger pigeon, the near-extinction of the bison, and the disappearance of the American frontier. As with World War II, the USA’s Civil War stimulated its industrial production. In 1830, the USA’s industrial production was a quarter of the UK’s, a third in 1860, two-thirds in 1880, and a third greater in 1900. On the eve of World War I, the USA’s industrial production was more than twice the UK’s, with the USA far and away Earth’s greatest industrial power. It grew even more dominant by 1929, and was virtually alone on the world stage in 1945.

The USA has been a plutocracy since the very beginning, with George Washington being the USA’s richest man; a slave-owning land baron whose armies he commanded made him richer. John Jay was the USA’s first Supreme Court Chief Justice, and strongly believed that those who own the nation should govern it. Possibly beginning with Zachary Taylor, assassinating American presidents became a sport, with Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt, Kennedy, Ford, and Reagan subject to assassination attempts that were often successful, and presidential candidates Robert Kennedy and George Wallace were also subjected to assassination attempts, and other political figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcom X, Fred Hampton, and John Lennon were assassinated, and they may well have all died in operations similar to those that killed the Kennedys and other attempts of that era. Only the Lincoln assassination has been widely acknowledged to have been part of a conspiracy. Every other time it was attributed to a “lone nut” assassin, if the weak conclusion given by the second official John Kennedy assassination investigation is ignored. I have no doubt that John Kennedy’s death resulted from a conspiracy, and in 2013, for the first time ever, the Kennedy family publicly stated the truth: the Kennedy family never believed the “lone nut” theory regarding John’s murder. Robert Kennedy’s son made that public admission, and if the Kennedys never believed the official story for John’s murder, they certainly do not believe it for Robert’s murder. The Kennedys have not revealed that opinion yet, but probably do not need to. Fear likely kept them silent for fifty years. I consider it very possible that none of those assassinations and attempts were the work of “lone nuts.” The spooks were busy in 1960s and 1970s, and assassinating American political figures would have been a modest undertaking compared to the Phoenix Program and killing several million people in Southeast Asia. Creating scapegoats to deflect attention from covert activities may have become a science in certain circles.

With its skyrocketing industrial growth, economic empires expanded as never before and the USA’s Gilded Age was born, dominated by robber barons. Industrial, financial, pharmaceutical, and other empires were born or began steep growth trajectories during the Civil War, with John Davison Rockefeller’s oil empire the most notorious and successful. Rockefeller established an oil refining business in 1863 after careful study of the new industry. As with bears and early elites, Rockefeller quickly realized that controlling production was unnecessary. If he positioned himself properly between the producers and market, he could seize control of the entire industry. Rockefeller’s father was a genuine snake oil salesman and con man who mentored his sons and was John’s early financier. John used the rich man’s exemption and bought his way out of military service in the Civil War and began building his empire. He decided that controlling refining and distribution was the path to dominance. John Rockefeller was a genius. He negotiated kickbacks from the railroads used to transport oil, but took it further when he negotiated kickbacks on the railroad traffic of his competitors, in one of history’s most clever and unscrupulous plans. Beginning in Cleveland, he used his shrewd kickback scheme and various carrots and sticks to wipe out or buy out all other refiners. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil eliminated the hundreds of small refiners that formed the initial industry. By 1879, his empire controlled 95% of American oil refining, setting the stage for him to become history’s richest person, with several times Bill Gates’s relative wealth. Recalcitrant Standard Oil competitors could have mysterious explosions destroy their refineries, and more than one came to an untimely demise, but if Rockefeller’s prey put up a good fight or showed talent, he hired them and soon amassed a team unmatched in capability and ruthlessness. John Rockefeller only became excited when pondering how rich he would become. He became a “philanthropist” early on but he was a standard phony humanitarian, as became evident with the Ludlow Massacre in 1914.

The Rockefeller Empire’s tale is far from an irrelevant historical curiosity. During my days of pursuing free energy, we encountered the Rockefeller name many times. Companies they controlled were directly involved with wiping out energy companies that we worked with. When my partner was offered about a billion dollars abandon his efforts, the Rockefellers may well have been involved, and we later had direct dealings with Rockefeller heirs, including one of the biggest names. The Rockefeller Empire likely inflicted some of the organized suppression activities that we experienced. Long after I “retired” from the field, my partner kept trying to make an impact before he was run out of the USA, soon after direct contact from the Rockefeller Empire. Rothschild interests were also involved. The Rockefeller and Rothschild dynasties are subjected to many conspiracy theories today, and our encounters demonstrated that the allegations may not be groundless. However, the fact that they identified themselves by name means, to me, that they are no longer at the top of the global power structure, if they ever really were. The people who really run the world are not household names. I call them the Global Controllers, my partner called them the Big Boys, a leading name in the free energy field called them “Godzilla,” and other terms such as “Sinister Secret Government” have been applied. Whatever name is used, the organization is real. We also had dealings with them, more than I can publicly disclose, and they do not identify themselves by name. They act through intermediaries and have developed their cloak-and-dagger methods into a science. Whether it was the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, or Global Controllers, we never contacted them, but they contacted us.

Anybody knowledgeable about that milieu realizes that naming names is dangerous and I usually make it a point to not know the names. Others who should know have named some organizations or, more accurately, factions of some organizations. We also had encounters with provocateurs from those organizations when they helped destroy our companies. This can be a difficult and delicate subject, and what follows is my view as of early 2014, which has not changed much since the early 2000s. Sitting American presidents operate far below the tops of those organizations, in the dark and out of the loop, and they all know that they are not near the top. They have power of a sort, but are largely actors, not necessarily following orders, but know their place or have a good idea what it is, and they cannot impact important issues. The last president who thought he could was John Kennedy, and he was rudely disabused of that notion.

From the beginnings of civilization, all elites have always played the same basic games, which were concerned with gaining economic power as a path to political power. All ruling classes exploited those they ruled. The elites of city-states, whether they were in Mesopotamia or Mesoamerica, tried to militarily conquer their neighbors and form larger polities. Nations and empires have constantly formed, fragmented, and fallen over the millennia, and they almost always disintegrated because they ran out of energy. Greed and megalomania can never be satiated, and those in their thrall continually feed their addictions. Psychologists have found that psychopaths often become successful politicians and corporate executives, as their affliction is advantageous where amassing wealth and power are primary organizational goals. For those who have encountered today’s hyper-elite and lived to tell about it, the evils they relate about that environment are difficult for “normal” people to understand. Those at the top have elevated greed and a lust for power to nearly inconceivable levels. Just as John Rockefeller hired talented psychopaths, so do the Global Controllers. I have encountered their agents and they were talented, I will grant them that. The man responsible for the death of a woman in our organization tried to blame my former partner for her death at the funeral. He likely worked for the Global Controllers but was a contract agent, as many are. He later defrauded the public with skills he used to help destroy our company, as did another contract agent provocateur, who sat in prison as of 2014. People like them do not have consciences. They would have likely done well in Hitler’s SS, for instance.

What psychologists call psychopaths or sociopaths, mystics call dark pathers and other terms. Such people have simply made self-service a science, and reaching high levels of “evil” requires great commitment. Genghis Kahn was a busy man, slaughtering millions and producing millions of descendants. That takes hard work and a sense of duty. Dark path professionals were sicced on us, and being on the receiving end of their evil deeds engendered a certain kind of awe and was an effective way to lose one’s naïveté.

But the dark path is dark indeed, and while indoctrination and other kinds of limbic conditioning help form “cohesion” in societies, in Global Controller and other criminal enterprises the carrots and sticks uniting those organizations can be breathtaking. I avoid knowing much about it, as that knowledge can be damaging to a normal person’s psyche. I was damaged by merely studying the Jewish Holocaust, the genocide of the Western Hemisphere’s natives, and today’s recent and continuing imperial genocides inflicted by my nation. Those diabolical global organizations are always in danger of fragmenting as everybody vies for wealth and power, and I doubt that there is an unbroken line of conspiring elites that stretches back to civilization’s beginnings. They have risen and fallen along with their civilizations, and they could only play a regional game at most. However, with Europe’s conquest of the world, power-addicted elites could begin thinking on a global scale for the first time. I would not be surprised to discover that some hyper-elite organizations have a pedigree that stretches back for centuries, and conspiracists have long traced those lineages. But my impression is that turnover regularly happens at the top, which is generally beyond the purview of conspiracists. With retail dynasties (Rome, Mayans, European royalty, China, etc.), they could trust relatives more than others, so heredity played a role, and apparently also does with the Global Controllers. A close relative nearly tried to recruit me into the family “business,” and his employers played at a higher level than John Perkins’s employers did, but it still seemed down a level or two from the Global Controllers’ stratum.

One major problem with making a positive impact on a global level, hyper-elite machinations aside, is that almost nobody focuses on what is important, which I hope to help remedy with this essay. Almost everybody hacks at branches if they hack at all. Conspiracists tend to obsess on elite machinations, which is of dubious benefit to begin with, but they often become paranoid and also confuse retail elites with the Global Controllers. Bill Gates and David Rockefeller are likely not members of the Global Controller’s organization. Also, I learned that hyper-elites can only play their games with the responsibility that almost all people have abdicated as they play the victim. The Global Controllers are only a symptom of our malaise, not a cause. They cannot be beaten at their game, and it is foolish and can even be suicidal to try. Making them obsolete is the best that we can do. While conspiracists often fixate on hyper-elite machinations, academics and scientists tend to deny that they even exist. It took me many years to understand their resistance to even acknowledging hyper-elite existence, and I think it partly relates to the mainstream scientific worldview that considers consciousness nothing more than a byproduct of biochemical reactions. They have an ideological aversion to the notion that anybody manipulates events on a global scale, and believe that what seems conspiratorial is only anarchic elites competing with each other, like Darwin’s view of evolution. They believe that conspiracists see a pattern where none exists, or that the situation can be explained without invoking conscious intent, similar to materialistic hypotheses of how the universe operates. Radical leftists have openly admitted their ideological objections to the existence of such elites; such an idea scares them. Neither obsession nor denial helps attain productive understandings of the issue. Conspiracists and structuralists are united in thinking like victims, and that, as I see it, is their primary limitation. Until they relinquish thinking like a victim, they will not constructively engage the critical issues that humanity faces, and energy ranks above all else. Victims are reactive instead of proactive, and only combined positive intention and resulting action has a prayer of working, in my opinion.

I do not make it a point to collect stories, but I am aware of literally thousands, probably tens of thousands, of cases of technology suppression, largely performed by the Global Controllers’ agents. Most involve alternative and free energy, but they also include exotic materials, antigravity technology, and technologies that would make almost all of humanity’s major industries immediately obsolete. Much of what has been suppressed would appear magical to the masses. The Global Controllers and other private interests often use governments and other public organizations to their ends. That happened each time our companies were wiped out. Public officials wielded the public ax, always acting in concert with the media, but they always did so on behalf of their private interest patrons.

My astronaut colleague had his life shortened courtesy of the USA’s military when he looked into UFOs and, like me, he did not make it a point to collect suppression stories as others have, but he knew about twenty-five dead inventor stories. The Global Controllers are not squeamish, but they rarely resort to violence in the public arena; they know that a string of deaths threatens to focus attention on their efforts. Also, their methods and goals are different than Mafia hit men; their assassinations are made to resemble something else, such as suicides, heart attacks, strange cancer cases, random crimes, accidents, and the like. When they murder free energy inventors and other perceived threats to their hegemony, there are no “double taps,” and making the assassinations look like something else is more important than being successful with any one attempt, which is partly why people such as my former partner have survived multiple murder attempts. If the often-complex assassination plan does not produce the desired result, they simply plan another attempt if necessary. Quite often, a failed assassination attempt will still frighten or incapacitate the target to where he (almost always a man, not a woman) is no longer a threat, and further action is unnecessary. They have a gigantic bag of tricks, and more than 99% of all threats are defused without resorting to violence, with the “lucky” targets receiving the Golden Handcuffs buyout. Even then, very few taking the money realized why they were bought out. We received the first friendly buyout offer soon after we began pursuing free energy, and the offer escalated by a couple orders of magnitude before they began to play rough. Such events are unremarkable in that milieu, although it blows the minds of average people and naïve newcomers to the field. Nobody offers corporate cubicle-dwellers, armchair academics, or protestors millions or billions of dollars to cease their activities. It is primarily in the realm of disruptive technologies, especially energy technologies, that such organized suppression strategies are used. The Global Controllers’ organized suppression of disruptive technologies is a science, and that scene from the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark is not very fictional.

The Global Controllers have deep pockets, and keeping free energy and related technologies such as antigravity under wraps is perhaps their greatest priority. If there is any good news to relate, it is that all informed observers know that humanity is quickly making Earth uninhabitable, which has made most Global Controllers uneasy. They do not want to live in their underground and off-world survival enclaves if Earth’s surface becomes uninhabitable, and members of that disenchanted faction gave a close friend an underground exotic technology show. In my circles, receiving such a demonstration was unexceptional.

This essay will return to that theme, but will put it aside for now. One lesson I learned during my adventures is that with global events, far more than meets the eye, and accepting events at face value is rarely appropriate. That stated, documented history and archeological and other physical evidence can provide important insights, and this essay will continue along a scientist/historian’s path for now.

Other robber baron empires profoundly affected not only industrial and national trajectories, but the very path of science and medicine. Andrew Mellon parlayed his robber baron heritage into becoming the USA’s Secretary of the Treasury, and presided over fluoride (ionized fluorine) beginning its surreal makeover from toxic industrial waste to a tooth’s best friend. Mellon controlled the world’s largest fluoride polluter at the time. It was also the world’s largest aluminum producer, and enjoyed an American monopoly. There is virtually no credible data or theory that justifies fluoride’s status as a safe or effective cavity preventative for children, and indisputable evidence that it is a highly effective enzyme poison, used in biological laboratories today for that purpose, and it also destroys teeth instead of protecting them. Revisiting that “lock-and-key” analogy for enzymes, hydrogen bonds help form the lock’s shape. An ion with an extra electron will be more negatively charged than any part of an uncharged molecule that unevenly shares electrons, such as in water and certain organic molecules, where hydrogen atoms attain a slight negative charge. Consequently, negatively charged ions will displace hydrogen bonds in molecules, particularly if the ions are small enough to slip into the molecules’ structure. Because they are the smallest negatively charged ions known to science, fluorine ions can easily displace hydrogen bonds in molecules. When fluorine ions disrupt an enzyme’s hydrogen bonds, the lock becomes “bent” and the key no longer fits. That is how fluoride poisons enzymes. DNA’s double helix is also held together by hydrogen bonds. The story of how industrial interests transformed fluoride into “medicine” is stupefying, and shows how severe the distortion of mainstream science and medicine has become. Lead, aluminum, and other industrial elements also received makeovers, and had early toxicity studies performed at an industrially funded laboratory that predictably gave a clean bill of health to all of them.

Other industries were also fluoride polluters and helped shaped the “science” of fluoridation, most notably the nuclear industry, beginning with the Manhattan Project; its involvement has been partly revealed by declassified documents. While the Manhattan Project’s research into fluorine toxicity is still largely classified (although what has been declassified is disturbing enough), a study performed by that industrially funded lab showed fluoride’s dramatic harm to animals, and the results were buried because they did not provide an industry-friendly result. Because that study was performed by an unclassified industrial lab and not the federal government, a researcher recently discovered it. Among the more alarming effects of fluoride is brain damage. A scientist who stumbled into that connection had her career wrecked, and the man who ran the Manhattan Project’s still-classified fluorine studies “consulted” on that scientist’s research. The average American, who is history’s most fluoridated person, has no awareness of the situation. The fluoride issue is one of many where physical, biological, and medical science became subservient to economic interests. Is fluoride a population management tool to dumb down the public? Reality could be turned upside down, with poison turned into “medicine,” with such situations lasting to this day. People trying to rectify the situations can lose their careers or be branded “quacks,” “pseudoscientists,” “conspiracy theorists,” and the like. Edward Bernays designed the propaganda campaign to fluoridate the USA’s water supplies.

The Rockefeller and Mellon empires were only two of many built during and after the Civil War. J.P. Morgan got his start just before the Civil War began and made a quick ascent as a banker and financier. He participated in some of the most momentous events in U.S. and industrial history, such as forming U.S. Steel. It is a big story that this essay cannot do justice to, but Morgan was ubiquitous, including masterminding what became arguably the biggest swindle of the American government to that time: the purchase of land for the Panama Canal in 1903; which was the largest payment yet made by the USA’s federal government. The future “trust-busting” president and Supreme Court Chief Justice was at the trough with Morgan on that scheme. After milking the government, Morgan rode to the “rescue” in 1907 to quell a bank panic, and several years later, the Federal Reserve Act was snuck through when Capitol Hill was virtually empty, two days before Christmas. Earlier in that same year of 1913, the Income Tax Amendment was passed, which prepared the USA’s government to attain truly imperial stature. Those events have been grist for conspiracists for the past century, and many allegations may well be true. The most powerful Senator on Capitol Hill was Mark “Dollar” Hanna, a childhood friend of John Rockefeller and political fixer for Standard Oil at a time when the corruption was open in Washington, with politicians routinely bought and sold by robber barons.

Perhaps Morgan’s most portentous industrial undertaking was participating in the epic battle between Thomas Edison and his former employee, Nikola Tesla. Edison himself was not a particularly brilliant inventor; many of his inventions were the result of his employees’ hard work. Electric lighting is a good example, where his team engaged in brute force experimentation with thousands of filaments before they hit on something that worked in 1879, seemingly at Edison’s suggestion for the filament that finally worked. When the Wizard of Menlo Park demonstrated electric lights near his laboratory, he was widely pilloried for his “idiotic” idea, which was called a “fraud” foisted on the public by scientists who would not leave the comfort of their armchairs to go see for themselves. Morgan financed Edison’s electric light company and had the first home in New York lit by electricity. Edison was also notorious for stealing inventions, and there is even a tale of a rival inventor “disappearing,” Mafia-style. It was simply a sign of the times and an era we still live in.

In the flood of immigrants to the USA during the 1880s came the Serbian Tesla, who had already worked for an Edison company in France. After a dispute in 1885 when Tesla redesigned Edison’s inefficient motors and generators, and the reward that Tesla said that Edison promised was not given, Tesla quit and began his own electric company. The investors soon kicked him out, leaving Tesla digging ditches in 1886-1887, and then he started another company.

Edison’s companies were beginning to electrify the world in the late 1880s, but Edison used direct current. Direct current has advantages over alternating current, but its great limitation is that resistance in electric lines quickly saps low-voltage direct current in heat losses. The higher the voltage of current transmitted over electric lines, the less proportional energy lost to heating. Alternating current’s voltage could be stepped up by transformers and transmitted great distances with little line loss and then stepped back down for use, while direct current could not be manipulated that way. The primary upshot was that only one generator was needed to supply many miles of electric lines carrying alternating current, while direct current needed a generator every kilometer or so. The efficiencies of alternating current transmission and the economies of scale of centralized generation made direct current a poor alternative for electrifying the world. Edison was beaten from the beginning but did not go quietly; he is a household name today, while Tesla’s name languishes in obscurity (at least until a car company was named after him).

High voltages are dangerous for various reasons, but the risk of electrocution is the main one. Even though he was beaten by a superior technology, Edison engaged in a disgraceful campaign against alternating current. He had thousands of animals electrocuted in demonstrations of the hazards of alternating current, including horses and even an elephant in 1903. Although Edison was personally opposed to the death penalty, his commercial sensibilities overcame his personal qualms and he made his most notorious invention, the electric chair, powered with alternating current. The first execution with Edison’s new contraption was performed in 1890, where the victim was roasted. By that time, Tesla had partnered with George Westinghouse in the battle against Edison, and Edison tried coining the term for execution by electrocution as being “Westinghoused.” By 1891, the short-lived “war” was largely over, with alternating current prevailing. In 1892, Edison’s company was absorbed into what became General Electric, which J.P. Morgan controlled, and Morgan was also Westinghouse’s financier. When you finance both sides you will always win, such as arming both sides in a war or being the “house” in a poker game. In the courtroom, the lawyers always win. Enabling the combatants, not being one, is a tried-and-true strategy.

The War of Currents nearly bankrupted Edison and Westinghouse, and Tesla relinquished his patent rights to his alternating current technology to Westinghouse for a modest lump sum in 1897. Tesla’s original royalty agreement would have made him one of the world’s richest men, and humanity might have taken a different direction if not for the battle with Edison. Tesla immediately began thinking in terms of what could be called free energy. Tesla’s inventions were legion and were sometimes stolen by contemporaries such as Marconi. In 1898, Tesla began designing a tower for producing radio signals, and construction commenced in 1901. Morgan was Tesla’s financier and was making money hand-over-fist with the alternating current technology that Tesla had relinquished his rights to. Tesla may have felt entitled to Morgan’s support. As Tesla built his radio tower, he began telling of grander goals, such as producing energy that could be transmitted wirelessly to anywhere on Earth. His initial idea was tapping the electric potential between Earth and its upper atmosphere, and anybody on Earth could easily and freely use the current that Tesla induced. When Tesla made those proposals, however, robber barons were making big investments in copper mines to electrify the nation. Morgan stopped funding Tesla’s idea in 1903, just when he and the Guggenheim family financed what became the world’s greatest copper mine. Many years later, Tesla’s official biographer, who knew him, said that when Tesla began writing “free energy” articles and talked publicly about it, another Wall Street financier who was heavily invested in copper mines told Morgan that Tesla was acting “crazy” with proposing free energy for everybody that nobody could meter. Wall Street then abandoned Tesla and he never regained his momentum. Tesla eventually advocated what today could be called Zero Point Energy, although he couched it in the form of harnessing cosmic rays. Tesla also originated an idea for a “death ray” weapon and other inventions that have cast him as an enigmatic figure. Upon his death in 1943, the FBI seized his papers, and there is plenty of conjecture and some evidence that there was a surreptitious previous seizure by other governmental agents. There are some way-out allegations about Tesla, including time travel and myriad exotic technologies. I have looked into them somewhat, and knowing what some around me have witnessed makes the rumored technologies far from unreasonable. The publicly available evidence is relatively thin, however, but would be if they were genuine technologies and events, as many powerful interests would want them kept secret and under their control.

The modern use of electricity is little more than pumping electrons to power electrical equipment, in the same basic fashion that running water was used to run mills. The electron flow, like running water, is not the ultimate source of energy, but is just an energy flow that humans harnessed. With electricity, the first major applications had waterfalls as energy sources. But coal-fired electric generators quickly became the standard, for the same reason why coal overcame water and wind generations earlier, and coal power today provides nearly half of the USA’s and the world’s electricity. Electrons pumped across copper wires became a major innovation that led to modern homes and cities. Before electricity was used to transmit energy, power was only available at the site where usable energy was produced. Watermills, windmills, and heat engines transmitted pre-electrical energy via gears, straps, and pulleys, which were cumbersome and dangerous. With the introduction of electricity to transmit energy, factories became far more versatile and humane, and as cities and homes were electrified they were radically transformed. The USA led the world in introducing electrical appliances to homes; refrigerators, thermostatically controlled central heating and air conditioning, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, dryers, dish washers, radios, televisions, and computers, to name a few innovations, made the early 21st century’s home virtually unrecognizable to a home-dweller during the USA’s Civil War. Electricity also powers the process used today to refine aluminum, and modern equipment of all kinds would simply be unfeasible without electricity.

Isolating scientific, economic, social, and political dynamics is likely unworkable for analyzing the Industrial Revolution, as they all interacted like never before. In some ways the story was familiar, with a new class of elites ending the previous regime’s primacy. But many changes were either unprecedented or reflected changes in dynamics with thousands of years of history. The trajectory of slavery demonstrated that how people treated each other was dependent on the economic situation, and makes the idea of an inherent human “morality” difficult to support. Virtually all wars have had economic motivation behind them, from the very beginning. Even though chattel slavery became obsolete with industrialization, imperial exploitation regularly reached genocidal levels. From the rubber boom during Europe’s Scramble for Africa to wiping out the remaining American Indians that lived on coveted land to today’s imperial genocides inflicted by the USA, the record is grim for such “civilized” peoples. Competing over world conquest kept Europeans from fighting each other while the plunder was plentiful. Most violence was directed toward relatively helpless pre-industrialized peoples, as they were easy prey, no different in kind than chimp coalitionary violence or why male monkeys and apes murder infants they did not sire. The USA’s Civil War and the Crimean War, however, were both wars of empire, with one to hold a nascent empire together and the other a battle between rising empires carving up a declining empire. In 1870, France and a rising Prussia had a war that resulted in a Germanic victory. The victors imposed onerous war reparations on France, with France returning the favor at World War I’s end, which helped lead to World War II.

Between 1871 and 1914, Europe lived in a Golden Age called La Belle Époque. Between 1860 and 1910, English life expectancy rose from about 40 to more than 50, and obesity became a trait no longer confined to the elite. It was one of humanity’s most fecund artistic eras, when some of my favorite artists lived, including my all-time favorite. The Renaissance was also a time of great artistic advances, and the Enlightenment and Romantic eras produced the greatest music yet made. Those artistically fertile periods had relative economic abundance in common. However, while the imperial heartland had cultural awakenings and lived the good life, the sufferings of their imperial subjects were often greater than ancient Rome’s. The “philanthropic” genocide in the African rainforests was one of the greatest ever for Old World peoples, with all European powers involved. The famines that began in 1875 were largely imperial creations, and another series of El Niño related famines began in the late 1890s, which hit China and India particularly hard, as their traditional famine-prevention systems were destroyed by imperial interference, especially British. The famine in China led to the Boxer Rebellion, which the imperial powers brutally repressed. European powers used those droughts to further establish their capitalistic raping of Earth’s pre-industrial peoples, which contemporary observers noted. India became the home of peaceful activists such as Gandhi only after the British bloodily suppressed the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857. The imperial powers always framed native resistance as “rebellions,” “mutinies,” and other terms designed to portray the conquerors as legitimate rulers. The famines of the 1870s and 1890s killed between 30 and 60 million people, while imperial Europe lived in an obesity-encouraging Golden Age. There have been many academic attempts to separately analyze the rise of capitalism from Europe’s conquest of the world, but they were deeply interrelated. There is even a school of thought called realism that tries to separate political from economic dynamics. While the USA was stealing North America from its natives and neighboring nations such as Mexico, it was not called imperial conquest but “settling” the continent by heroic pioneers and fulfilling a nation’s divine destiny.

Epochal Event 4.5 – The Rise of Oil and Electricity – Part 2

The rise of oil was the other radical energy event of the late 19th century. Rockefeller’s empire was originally built on replacing whale oil for lighting, but Edison’s light bulb soon ended that need, and little did Rockefeller suspect it, but oil’s big days were just ahead. Oil is the world’s most coveted resource for a few reasons. Liquids are near-solids in partial-lattice states, where the temperature (energy of motion) is high enough so that lattices continually break and reform. Raise the temperature higher, and those partial lattices disintegrate and the liquid becomes a gas. Solids cannot flow, and liquids are far denser than gases, so a liquid energy resource will be far superior to a solid (coal) or gaseous (natural gas) fuel. A metric ton of oil contains nearly twice the energy of a metric ton of coal, and can be pumped through pipes. Until World War I, all ships and trains were powered by coal. In 1769, as Watt was working on his first steam engine, a Frenchman invented a steam vehicle to use on roads, and coal-powered cars were the standard until internal combustion engines replaced them. There were also electric and gas-powered vehicles in those early days, but oil was quickly seen as a superior fuel for those reasons stated above, and Henry Ford’s company, established in 1903, quickly led to the dominance of oil-powered cars. The Wright brothers could not have flown in 1903 with anything other than an oil-powered engine.

Rockefeller became a robber baron extraordinaire with the rise of oil in transportation. In the USA in 2011, more than 90% of all transportation energy was provided by oil, and the proportion is about the same for global industrial transportation. In the West, nearly all coal is used to produce electricity. A watershed event in oil’s use in transportation was when Winston Churchill, after observing the rigors of loading ships with coal in 1911, converted the British Navy to oil. Britain did not have domestic sources of oil as the USA did, and thus began the West’s domination of the oil-rich Middle East, which continues to this day. By 1920, Churchill advocated chemical warfare against the peoples of what became Iraq, as Britain secured the region for oil interests, and before World War II was over, Churchill called for the complete genocide of the Japanese people, approved fire bombings of German cities, advocated poison gas and anthrax attacks on Germany, and his policies starved millions of people in Bengal, once again. His imperial crimes were numerous, but he is primarily remembered in the West as the great statesman who stood up to Hitler. Similarly, Vlad the Impaler, the historical figure that Dracula is based on and whose cruelties are legendary, is seen as a Romanian hero for fighting off the Ottoman Empire.

From carving up the Ottoman Empire at World War I’s end to overthrowing Iran’s government in 1953 to supporting both sides in the Iraqi-Iranian war of the 1980s to the first Gulf War and subsequent genocidal sanctions to the USA’s invasion of Iraq in 2003 to the current oppression of Iran, it has been all about the oil. Everything else is an inconsequential distraction from the primary dynamic. Iraq’s oil fields were history’s greatest material prize, now controlled by American oil companies, and no informed observers were fooled for an instant by the “war on terror” pre-invasion rhetoric by the oil-executive-dominated Bush administration (Bush, Cheney, Rice, etc. – Rice even had an oil tanker named after her). Both World Wars had control over oil as a critical strategic goal, and arguably the critical goal.

John Rockefeller was a Baptist, and in 1887 he began to donate to the Baptist University of Chicago. The University of Chicago subsequently became the ideological headquarters of economics. By the 1870s, the science of energy had developed greatly from the previous century, when fire was thought to be caused by phlogiston, but economics entered its neoclassical phase from which it has yet to emerge. It competed with Keynesian economics for much of the 20th century, with neoclassical economics reaching its triumphant phase with the collapse of the Soviet Empire. Chicago School economists were the dominant Nobel Laureates in the early 1990s, but the school has recently been receiving “credit” for the economic collapses in the first decade of the 21st century.

Neoclassical economics is an ideology that focuses on how free markets optimize economic activity, and Milton Friedman became the guru of neoclassical economics with his monetarist thought, which began its rise in the 1950s. Friedman picked up his Nobel Prize in 1976, three years after Henry Kissinger won his Peace Prize, and Friedman even had a prize named after him by an arch-conservative organization. While classical economists carefully obscured the true nature of “primitive accumulation” that Marx eventually pointed out, and removed the focus from the real world of how wealth is created and placed it onto theories of markets and exchange, neoclassical economists had far less excuse to ignore the real world and new scientific findings. But they viewed economic activity as a purely social phenomenon. Energy and other resources were simply assumed as an economic input only limited by market forces. That nonsensical style of analysis reached its apogee with economists such as Julian Simon and his stable of corporately owned “scientists,” and is still dominant today and called neoliberalism. The “free market” can solve all of humanity’s problems, according to neoliberal doctrine. Unfortunately, there are no free markets and they likely never existed. Neoclassical economists tried to ape physicists by using differential calculus in their analytics, but they were mimicking the style, not the substance, of science. The obsession with math was an aspect of mainstream science that also helped send it awry. In order to use calculus and other sophisticated analytic schemes, economists have to make numerous untested assumptions about the real world, which generally make the analyses worthless. In dealing with the real world, Einstein said that the more elegant and beautiful the math used to describe a theory, the more likely the theory was wrong. Einstein avoided math when he could in his theoretical work.

As Adam Smith’s invisible hand, fear, became an assumption of classical economics, neoclassical economists assumed greed in their supply and demand curves. Greed and fear are thereby founding principles in today’s economic theory, and greed is literally cheered on Wall Street as a salubrious and critical aspect of capitalism. How can an ideology that elevates, even celebrates, greed and fear be considered beneficial?

Many assumptions of neoclassical economics have been convincingly falsified by the physical, biological, and social sciences. Some of those assumptions are people being independently-minded rational actors who do not look to what others do (i.e., humans are not herd animals), that the economy can be divorced from the ecosystem that supports it, that money can substitute for anything, and that economic production can be described without referencing physical work. Neoclassical economics ignores the fact that entropy saps the efficiency of any system, economic or otherwise. Unlike a genuine science, almost no branches of today’s economics, particularly neoclassical economics, base their theories on hypotheses that can be tested and falsified. Today’s mainstream economics resembles a faith more than a science.

In 2003, when I began studying peak oil literature, the disdain with which scientists held economists was evident, and they articulated the difficulties I had with mainstream economics since my business school days. A recent textbook written by an economist and ecologist analyzed the disconnection between economists and the real world, and the way that all economic schools have ignored energy was, in the opinion of the authors, their most grievous error. I do not take overarching conspiracy theories very seriously, as they do not adequately explain how most people act. People blindly and uncaringly performing their jobs are how most of the free energy suppression that I survived was inflicted. Structural features, candidly admitted by some as they bludgeoned us, explain most activity. However, that did not mean that those at the top did not know what they were doing, or even those further down the command chain, and my life’s turning point was when a public official revealed his true motivation. Organized suppression is one part conspiratorial and nine parts or more structural, in my experience. Those doing most of the dirty work really do not know whose interests they are serving or even if they are abetting evil, and most do not even care much as long as it pays well, which was my journey’s primary lesson.

The chief medical racketeer of the mid-20th century actively promoted the single greatest cause of cancer while trying to monopolize cancer cures. Did his right and left hands did not know of each other? History’s greatest energy mogul established a world-leading school that ignored energy and obsessively focused on money and exchange as the linchpin of economic activity. Could that have merely been a coincidence? Or were we seeing a new level of the game of elite obfuscation, where the very foundation of life on Earth and all economic activity was made invisible in the day’s dominant economic ideology? Unfortunately, I have even seen “radical” economists completely ignore energy, trapped within a paradigm from the 18th century. That dismissal of energy and the real world in economic theory has been defended to this day with “fallacious arguments and lies.” When scientists and academics have engaged in a multidisciplinary examination of today’s economics, they are astounded at how primitive it is, using the “laws of physics” as they were understood in the 19th century, before the concept of entropy was introduced. Modern economics has used an obsolete framework for two centuries, and its obvious conflicts of interest need to be considered when assessing why it became that way and has remained there.

A key question for any investigation into skullduggery is cui bono, or “who benefits?” Without any significant exception that I know of, academic and corporate institutions always created ideologies and analyses that benefitted the institution’s patrons. Why would it be any different? That is why “corporate philanthropy” is an oxymoron, and virtually all robber baron “philanthropy” had zero humanitarian impulse behind it. How could the most ingeniously ruthless men of their generation suddenly grow big hearts? I see the same kind of “humanitarian” impulses today with billionaire philanthropists. When my former partner was riding high and in the spotlight before the sledgehammers came down (and they always eventually did), billionaires swarmed him, with many self-professed “philanthropists” in their ranks; none ever helped, but all tried to wreck or hijack the effort.

The institutional control created by robber barons became ubiquitous. In the 20th century’s first decade, Rockefeller and Carnegie funded a 1910 report that began to take the practice of Western medicine in new directions, and alternative approaches were wiped out as the “philanthropists” joined forces with rising medical racketeers. Huge drug empires then began their climb, after getting their start in the Civil War providing mercury “medicine” to the troops, and industrial “medicine” made its appearance. Cancer treatment became an “attack-the-tumor” racket in the late 19th century when sterile surgery was developed, soon followed by radiation and then chemical attacks, which derived from chemical warfare experiments in World War II. Just as evolution’s course was always contingent on previous developments, where novel fundamental developmental paths became infeasible, once the foundation of Western medicine was created by robber baron “philanthropists,” it influenced all future development; not because it was the ideal approach, but because the “approved” approaches grew from within the paradigm and anything outside it was marginalized or wiped out. One of the USA’s Founding Fathers specifically warned against such a racket forming. Those foundational assumptions are taught to all students on their first day of class and they are not challenged from that day forward, regurgitated as tautologies for the rest of adherents’ lives. The ideological momentum of such indoctrination goes deeply, right into the limbic system. That was exactly what my astronaut/professor/activist colleague encountered when he tried interesting his peers in free energy. I have called it being blinded by the paradigm. Scientists may be the most blinded of all groups to the reality and potential of free energy technology, and they have made the most sophisticated arguments to support their denial. Fuller believed that their naïveté and blindness was carefully cultivated by the elite.

American nationalism reached orgiastic dimensions by 1890. The Columbian Exhibition, held in 1893, was powered with Tesla’s alternating current and American “progress” seemed limitless. At that time, other imperial aspirants were feverishly trying to catch up. The USA forced Japan into the international arena in order to exploit it, and Germany/Prussia rose in the late 19th century. Japan kept the West out for centuries until Perry’s “diplomatic” invasion of 1853, and Japanese elites could easily see what colonization would mean to Japan, with Bengal and other colonized regions not far away. Japan avoided India’s and China’s fates with a steep ascent to industrialization, transitioning from a feudal land where the sword and musket prevailed to winning a war with China in 1894 and beating Russia in 1905. After Napoleon inflicted the Enlightenment onto Germany, it also began playing catchup with the West. Unfortunately for Germany and Japan, the UK, France, Russia, and the USA had already laid claim to most of the world. Japan, being an island nation like the UK, with even fewer natural resources, began to look at the Asian mainland as the USA looked at North America: theirs for the taking under a “Manifest Destiny” ideology. Germany had plenty of coal but few other industrial resources, and it developed a similar “lebensraum” ideology toward eastern Europe, with Hitler emulating the USA’s Indian reservation system with his concentration camps and he admired the “efficient” methods of genocide that the USA used on its natives. On the eve of World War I, of more than thirty essential industrial materials, Germany had to buy nearly all of them on the world market, while the USA, the UK, and France could obtain them by plundering their colonies or conquered lands in their contiguous polities. Germany could not expand without encroaching on another empire. The Western Hemisphere was long ago declared off-limits by the USA, and Britain, France, and Russia controlled nearly everything else, so there was little opportunity for Germany or Japan to garner any plunder. Germany had to content itself with scraps from the Scramble for Africa, and both enthusiastically raped China during the Boxer Rebellion, along with the other imperial powers. But their opportunities were limited in a colonized Earth, and that, far more than any other reason, led to the World Wars.

In 1910, humanity’s greatest balance-of-payment disparity was between the UK and India, with India providing 60 million pounds to the UK, which was more than matched by British Commonwealth payments to the USA of about 80 million pounds. No other nation had a notable impact on international monetary exchanges. The single most telling statistic of Britain’s pillage of India is that as the UK became Earth’s richest nation, per capita income in India did not increase between 1757 and 1947. All imperial and colonial efforts were simply plunder operations. The USA engaged in neocolonialism early on, which was colonialism in everything but the name. The USA’s flag does not fly over Iraq today, but everybody knows who calls the shots. Once in a great while, even American soldiers figured out the real game and named it, but they were always marginalized or silenced.

By the 1850s, Germany was the heart of laboratory science, and seminal discoveries and achievements came from German labs. As agriculture became industrialized, two nutrients were identified as key limiting resources as per Liebig’s Law: phosphorous and nitrogen. Until 1909, humanity’s source of nitrogen for agriculture was manure. Guano was even the main source of nitrate for gunpowder when World War I began in 1914. After a hundred years of failure by many eminent chemists, in 1909 Fritz Haber made one of history’s most momentous breakthroughs when he discovered a way to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and make ammonia. That energy-intensive process is responsible for half of humanity’s food supply today. It is also partly responsible for a great deal of water pollution, dead zones in the oceans, and proliferation of weaponry. Haber has also been called the father of chemical warfare, as he was instrumental in developing the poison gases used in World War I, but he nevertheless won his Nobel Prize in 1918 for his nitrogen breakthrough. Phosphorus, which forms the coin of energy in all life on Earth, is the sole element that humanity has not found a substitute for in industrial civilization. Energy makes nitrogen and other elements more available or allows for substitution, while phosphorous must be mined or recycled. German chemical wizardry continued after World War I, and Germany was the headquarters of science in the early 20th century. Relativity and quantum theory, the two pillars of today’s physics, were developed in Germanic nations, with Einstein, Planck, Lorentz, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Pauli, and Bohr dominating physics in the early 20th century, with relatively minor contributions from American, British, and French scientists. From the first Nobel prizes awarded in 1901 to the rise of Nazi Germany in 1933, more than a third of the awards in physics and chemistry went to Germans, and if the Swiss, Dutch, Austrian, Danish, and Swedish laureates are added, they amount to well more than half, particularly for their theoretical work.

World-class geniuses such as Einstein and von Neumann were Ashkenazy Jews, which is an ethnic group with ten times the Nobel Prizes that their proportion of the USA’s population would suggest. To take a recent example, in the three-year period ended in 2013 (the most recent prizes awarded when I drafted this chapter), four of the seven physics and five of the six chemistry Nobel laureates were Ashkenazy Jews, and they amount to well less than 1% of the world’s population. A recent controversy surrounds why they have such high achievement, which was ignited by a 2005 paper that argued that Ashkenazy Jews have exceptionally high verbal and mathematical skills as a genetic effect due to their insular mating habits and intellectually demanding professions in finance and business for most of a millennium in Eastern Europe. The controversy will not end soon, but the genetic and biological aspects of what is called “intelligence” are very real, but the “nurture” aspect of mental achievement is also well-founded. If the hypothesis about Ashkenazy Jews is valid, it means that nurture became nature, and helps support the idea that, as a species, we become what we do.

Also evident with those geniuses and their technical and theoretical achievements was predominantly using them in warfare, in what Fuller called humanity’s “suicidal fixity” on weaponry. The first practical application of E = MC2 was making the most destructive weapons ever devised. Einstein said that the greatest mistake of his life was urging the USA to develop nuclear weapons before the Nazis did. The chemical prowess of German scientists was prominent in both World Wars, World War II perhaps even more notoriously, where Zyklon-B was used in the Nazis’ death factories, where they used industrial methods for genocide. Sarin was planned to replace Zyklon-B in the gas chambers, but the war ended before they could deploy it. Sarin was developed at the largest chemical company on Earth, IG Farben. When Hitler came to power in 1933, American industrialists were solidly behind Hitler. In his Mein Kampf, Hitler openly acknowledged his debt to Henry Ford. Hitler later said that he learned everything he knew about Jews from Ford, and Ford received an award from Germany in 1938. The Rockefellers sent their PR wizard to Germany in 1934 to burnish Farben’s and the Third Reich’s image. I have heard via World War II participants about the demoralization that American soldiers experienced when they captured German trucks, and about a third were made by Ford. The Rockefellers’ relationship to the Third Reich was so cozy that they nearly faced charges of treason under the Trading the Enemy Act, and apparently kept working with Hitler’s regime clear until the end of World War II. While Standard Oil escaped asset seizure, the Bush family’s company did not, when a company that Prescott Bush, George H.W.’s father and George W.’s grandfather, was a director of, was seized for its support of the Third Reich while it was at war with the USA. The Bush political dynasty got its start being sycophants and political fixers for robber baron interests. In my circles, it is acknowledged that David Rockefeller was George H.W.’s mentor. I cannot publicly disclose my connections, but I have more than one single degree of separation from key players in that community, and the relationships between members of Europe’s and America’s oligarchies can seem incestuous, and many conspiracy theories surrounding them are understandable and likely significantly true. However, the Global Controllers have merely taken elite games as old as civilization to high levels of reach and sophistication. But the power for change is in our hands, not theirs, but not while we are sleep and easily manipulated.

Examining the belligerents in World War II makes the childish nature of imperial peoples evident. Going back to the English civil wars, when Western states began to lose their ability to rule by violence, elites began developing the science of controlling what people thought. Ideological indoctrination to accept elite rule is as old as civilization, but with the rise of science and industry, indoctrination became scientific. By the early 20th century, people such as Bernays and Lee baldly advocated their strategies for molding the public’s mind, and terms such as “the manufacture of consent” and “necessary illusions” were openly used by such pioneers. The basic premise was that the masses were too stupid to know what was good for them, so their collective mind needed professional managers working on behalf of the “public good.” In reality, it was elite manipulation of the masses. Sell industrial waste to the public as medicine, make attacking the body the only path to healing, turn mass-murdering thieves into national heroes, portray a deadly addictive substance as a badge of freedom while medical authorities promote the same deadly substance, etc., and it all worked brilliantly. I have watched people choose certain death over questioning their indoctrination. While drafting this chapter, I attended the funeral of a friend who died of a horrific cancer that quickly kills the patients (life expectancy of about a year after diagnosis when using mainstream treatments). I learned long ago that disease patients almost never want to hear about alternatives, so I rarely volunteer the information. However, that friend knew that I was familiar with alternatives and even asked me the last time we met what I would have done. I replied with treatments which have cured that particular cancer, and my friend regarded my information with a kind of amused detachment and died six months later.

Because the Soviet Union was created through violent revolution that took years to complete, like a pristine state, its new elites continually vied for legitimacy and resorted to extreme violence to consolidate their rule. When dictators can rule by violence, they do not need to manufacture consent. The other belligerents in World War II were more mature states, and the primary ones were: Germany, the UK, the USA, and Japan. Each one had nationalist ideologies that resembled fairy tales. The UK had royalty worship and racist imperial ideology, the USA had an even more bizarre flag worship and Founding Father stories that were literally fables, Japan had a religion that elevated its emperor above the Creator in the eyes of some of its theologians, and combined it with a feudal warrior code, and Hitler tried to recapture a Golden Age that never was, reviving Roman iconography and staging grandiose mass rituals such as the Nuremberg Rallies, which resemble the USA’s Democratic and Republican presidential conventions. Those national ideologies were all based on kindergarten-level indoctrination, the Judeo-Christian religions were all based on myths, and the dominant economic ideology was a fake science that dismissed reality in favor of heroic tales of efficiency. Little resembling clear adult thought could be found in those dominant ideologies.

The racist ideology that Hitler’s regime promoted was only a slightly more extreme version of what other imperial aspirants already had, and Hitler learned it from one of the USA’s greatest industrialists. Hitler’s ideological crime was using racist ideology to make chosen white people inferior. All such ideologies appealed to people’s egos as they elevated their group at the expense of others and, with their superiority then self-evident, they could commit their awesome crimes with clear consciences, free of cognitive dissonance. But social managers needed to further manipulate the public’s mind. While the militaries of World War II’s warring nations all committed heinous atrocities, no domestic presses reported on their troops’ atrocities. Everybody was a cheerleader, but fabricating atrocity stories about the other side was typical. One reason why few believed early stories about the Jewish Holocaust as it was happening was that the British media fabricated similar stories about Germans in World War I, so many thought that it was just more British propaganda. Hitler realized that the British won the propaganda war in World War I and he was determined that Germany would upgrade its propaganda. Goebbels studied the work of Bernays and other propagandists to create the Third Reich’s propaganda. The Nazi and communist propaganda was relatively clumsy, in ways far behind the English and American art form. For nearly thirty years, I have seen Soviet and Chinese immigrants to the USA asked what the difference was between communist indoctrination systems and the Western media and educational institutions, and the answer was approximately: “In my homeland, everybody knew they were being lied to, but Americans usually believe the propaganda they are fed.”

The Industrial Revolution above all else rode on the energy of hydrocarbon fuels. A very strong American, hauling water, can perform about one kilowatt-hour of work in a ten hour day, and a typical American about half that. An electric pump could do the same work for less than 1/2000th of the worker’s wage cost. Not only could the Industrial Revolution’s energy technologies work far more cheaply than humans could, they could perform feats far beyond what muscle power could achieve. A slave-borne palanquin never attained a speed of 100 KPH, nor could it fly, nor could it travel to the moon. The energy of fossil fuels allowed for previously unimaginable feats of strength and speed, and materials and machines were created that would have seemed magical to pre-industrial peoples such as plastics and electronic equipment. The relationship between energy use and economic output, measured in Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), is nearly linear, with half of GDP changes correlated with oil use. The relationship between GDP and energy consumption in Japan is a typical example.

Today, average Americans use about eighty times the energy that is provided by their diets, which has been called having eighty energy slaves, but that understates the reality. A barrel of oil provides about one year of the calories needed to fuel a human body, but if that oil was used to power machines, it would perform more than ten man-years of work, often doing work that humans often could not perform in any case, such as propelling an automobile at 100 KPH. Americans really have several hundred energy slaves working for them, which is why the average American lives a richer lifestyle than Earth’s richest human of two centuries ago.

Fuller said that if oil was priced by the benefit that humans received, every barrel of oil should cost one million dollars. But because it takes relatively little human effort to obtain oil, it sells for only about one hundred dollars per barrel today. Similarly, the Sun’s energy powers the hydrological cycle, without which there would not be land-based life. If humans had to desalinate water instead of rely on the Sun for the energy to provide fresh water, and humanity did not have an energy source such as fossil fuels, humans would quickly go extinct. But because nature provides the water that humans use and nobody pays for it (a concept that is eroding, as corporations are busy privatizing humanity’s water supplies), neoclassical economists ignore the critical economic benefits provided by the hydrological cycle. Homogenizing everything with market prices and then creating differential calculus analytics is not helpful for understanding how the world really works. Neoclassical economists have tried to divorce energy consumption from economic production, but such analyses only have seeming validity if how the world actually works is ignored. American food production takes nearly 20% of the USA’s energy use, so more than ten calories of fossil fuels are burned to provide every calorie of food eaten. The concept of diminishing returns and energy consumption applies to national economies. Poorer nations receive a relatively large benefit for incremental energy use, while the industrialized nations do not get as great an increase. But statistics such as worker productivity in the USA had a tight linear relationship with energy use for eighty years, from 1905 to 1984, when the data stopped being collected.

At this juncture, I will ask my readers to perform an exercise that I first read about from peak oil advocate Richard Heinberg, which is to lay aside data and graphs and just think about how energy makes everything in our daily lives possible. Think about your food, water, mode of transportation, and materials that comprise your home and possessions, and think of the role that energy played in providing them. Think about the energy that you use each day in powering your home and in your transportation, even if it is just walking. Then imagine running out of energy. When you flipped on a light switch, nothing happened. When you turned on the tap, no water came out. Your refrigerator stopped working, food stopped being delivered to your community, and no electricity, oil, gas, coal, or even wind or water power was available. Everything in your life would come to a sudden halt. When people have tried to demote energy below spirituality, social relations, or even made it irrelevant to economics, my question is for them to see what they can forego the longest: prayer/meditation, social interaction, sex, or energy. The fossil fuels burned to power industrial civilization do the work, providing several hundred energy slaves for each American and no less than hundreds per person in every industrialized nation. All that those energy-leveraged humans do is direct the energy, like holding the reins of a gigantic beast that each person rides each day. Airline pilots half-joke that they begin their workday by strapping jet airliners to their waists. Without that energy to direct in the myriad ways that industrialized humans use it, civilization would all come to an abrupt end.

Another energy concept is that of efficiency. For the hunter-gatherers who cooked food over the campfire, the energy was used with an efficiency of less than 5%. When humans began using hearths as they became more sedentary, their energy efficiency increased. As humans built dwellings and fireplaces, energy efficiency increased, and today, energy efficiency in advanced industrialized civilization reaches more than 35%. As humans kept increasing their gross energy input and the efficiency in using the energy, the energy surplus increased. Just as with all life forms, an increased energy surplus meant an easier life and a better chance of survival. In recent years, while the USA’s GDP-per-capita has risen, its energy-consumption-per-capita has been stagnant since the 1970s. Some have argued that it shows how much more efficient the USA’s economy has become, but it is more likely related to the USA’s de-industrialization, where heavy industry has moved to low-wage nations with weak environmental laws. The USA imports more finished goods where the energy for mining and manufacturing them was used in other nations, similar to the imperial subsidy that Britain received from its colonies, but far more pronounced when the USA is receiving finished industrial goods and not raw materials, as Britain received from India. In generating energy, so-called technological societies have nearly the same energy efficiency as advanced industrial ones, largely due to the entropy created by power generation.

The rise in energy use, particularly fossil fuel use, has been highly dramatic during the Industrial Revolution. Today’s global hydrocarbon use has increased 800-fold since 1750, and 12-fold during the 20th century, and about 90% of the 20th century’s increase happened after World War II. The seven billion barrels of oil burned by the entire world during World War II is equal to what the USA burned in 2010. As discussed previously, when the English began to invade North America, they stumbled into Earth’s richest continent. An English “settler” in North America in 1670 consumed as much energy as a person today does in Uruguay and more than about half of today’s nations. Between 1880 and 1920, American energy consumption per capita doubled, and between World War II and 1970 it nearly doubled again, as Americans became the richest and most powerful people in world history.

Going back to the beginnings of the first mercantilist powers and their corporations, to how the first capitalists gained their “capital” violently, to the rise of the robber barons, what Marx called separating the workers from the means of production had to be performed first so that the ownership class could form. With the workers put in their place, then the “owners” could create instruments of ownership and trade them. Thus began stock markets. Similar to how economics became divorced from the real world, when stock markets formed, owners became divorced from corporate operations. In corporate America, for instance, there are theoretical governance mechanisms such as boards of directors and company officers that answer to the shareholders, but the relationship is often more theoretical than actual, and “cooking the books” to make management look good and inflate the stock price is as old as corporations. Dealing with that aspect of corporations is largely what I do to make a living, and I have lived through several major scandals in my career, and they are nowhere near finished.

With that separation from reality, speculation frenzies have been major aspects of how stock markets operate. The first bout of market insanity was the Dutch tulip mania in the 1630s. The slave-trade frenzy that wiped out Isaac Newton was less than a century later and was in stock speculation, and the boom/bust capitalist economy was born, where greed and fear prevailed. The USA has devolved into the serial bubble economy as its empire has declined, and until the crises of the early 21st century, the USA’s previous market mania was in the 1920s. Back then, companies with nothing more than “blue sky” behind them sold stock to the public. It was essentially no different than the Spanish gold rush that Columbus began. Those orgies of greed were usually associated with some new product, market, or a financial sleight of hand to finance them. The 1920s bubble was sandwiched between the first World War and its sequel, with a depression leading to the rise of fascism and the second war. As noted previously, American industrialists warmly embraced fascism, and there was even a plotted White House coup about when Hitler came to power, backed by leading industrialists and politicians who tried to entice America’s greatest war hero into becoming their front man.

As discussed previously, Hitler tried avoiding Germany’s mistakes of World War I and tried getting its propaganda to approach the UK’s level of mastery, but his biggest mistake was the same one that Napoleon made in the previous century: invading Russia. History’s greatest battles were fought between the German and Soviet armies, and their brutality was unmatched, which is saying something. The Jewish Holocaust was a side-effect of the German invasion of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The Jews and Gypsies were merely the first on Hitler’s list of “subhuman” races to be cleared for German “settlement” of Eastern Europe under his lebensraum program. The death toll of the Slavic peoples of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, from purely exterminatory campaigns, is estimated to be between 15 and 20 million people. The Soviet “intelligence” files that the USA built the CIA on were residue from the murder of millions of Soviet prisoners of war. Hiring death camp Nazis, many of whom were actually involved with human experiments, became a favorite American pastime after World War II, with death camp Nazis becoming space race heroes, nuclear industry propagandists, and stars of Disney TV shows for children and who also wrote children’s books. Mind control programs such as MKUltra came from those Nazis that the USA “rehabilitated” into heroes. You could not make this up if you tried. From what I am privy to, those programs and Nazis exposed by declassified documents are only the tip of the iceberg, with the worst activities happening in private settings or federal operations which will never be declassified. I have encountered that situation repeatedly on my journey, not only from my studies, but hearing about the operations firsthand or secondhand. I never sought those testimonies, but people sought to tell me about them and, as previously stated, I do not like knowing many names, places, and dates, and I will take most of them to my grave with me. It simply comes with the territory, although I have revealed some of the more personally and globally relevant anecdotes, while keeping identities private, usually because the participants/victims fear reprisals, even extending to their families. My astronaut friend took his story of surviving a murder attempt to his grave, never publicly disclosing the details, and only alluding to it in a very general way. That was a typical response.

The USA finished off humanity’s greatest war with dropping the most destructive weapons in history on cities, and then lying to the jubilant American people about whom it was dropped on and why. In the wake of dropping nuclear weapons on women and children, the USA had unprecedented global hegemony, with control of both sides of both major oceans, and half of the world’s wealth and industrial capacity. Then began the postwar boom, which was an era of economic prosperity never seen before or since, and I had the good fortune to be born in the midst of it. Above all else, it was an economic event born of cheap energy, and has been called the Golden Age of Capitalism. When energy stopped being cheap in the 1970s, the boom ended and the long decline set in, not just for the USA, but the world in general, which is the subject of the next chapter.

Hi:

I am getting bombarded with emails of “progress” made by various FE advocates, New Age news of the day, and the like. People put plans on the Internet for their FE gizmo, but don’t show one working, or have anyplace anybody can go to see on working, and so on. Others treat FE like a really cool idea, maybe even better than yesterday’s New Age flavor of the day. Man, I have no interest in those approaches.

How much big talk have we seen over the years? How many plans, patents, and blueprints are out there? They all come and go, like leaves blowing in the wind. Nearly thirty years ago, Dennis gave away the rights to his heat pump technology, we sold plans to make them, etc. There is just not an army of tinkerers out there willing to do it, and when the “breakthrough” is some plans, spending thousands of dollars for parts, and then dangerous tinkering with high voltages and the like, and they can’t show one working, it is definitely not ready for Prime Time.

The scattershot approach holds no interest for me, or that mythical army of garage tinkerers ready to go, etc. Making an FE gizmo is a lot harder than it looks, and the last I knew, Godzilla had not yet died in his sleep. I don’t know if the FE chatter that I see out there is a good thing or not. Maybe more people hear of the idea of FE, but I have yet to see any attempt with a prayer.

Back to work.

Wade

Hi:

To my previous post, humanity’s fifth epochal event is no small beer, and fresh perspectives may help, but virtually every newbie I ever saw began with the inventor/tinkerer approach. I was there, forty years ago, myself. At least the approaches I see these days increasingly advocate open-sourcing and giving it away, but they are all still stuck on the tinkerer/inventor/garage approach. I have never seen one of them with a prayer. Even when somebody like Sparky Sweet came up with one:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sweet

the fun only began. IMO, that entire approach is putting the cart before the horse, kind of like jumping to the end of a very long process, thinking that all intermediate steps can be skipped.

Many inventors have even demonstrated working FE devices in public, for nearly the past century, but they never lasted long. When they get taken out, the crowd disperses, some may try to pick up the pieces, and I have seen situations where the descendants are still trying to get the inventor’s device re-started, nearly a century later. Ultimately, FE is about delivering technology, but those New Age, garage approaches fall way short of what is needed, IMO. I almost want to avoid all technology talk, because it becomes a lure to take people down the rabbit holes of distraction, and they never come back. As far as I am concerned, the entire inventor/tinkerer approach is a red herring and a huge time-waster. None of those advocates have any experience at all with developing disruptive technology for public use. It is a lot harder than it looks. It is kind of like the Hollywood movies have made it all seem so easy, where that mad scientist in Back to the Future created a time machine in his lab. People have that kind of fantasy of how it works. The Wright brothers’ approach, where they could make planes in their shop, is not amenable to the FE pursuit, I am sorry to say.

Best,

Wade

Dearest Wade,

Thank you for your wonderful articles.

You know the internet is full of such bull****...can I say that here...

Not what you write about...you are sane.....


Its full of spook agencies selling us propaganda and simple **** and I am increasingly tired of it and simply have moved on from a lot of it....

Yes you are correct in your approach of not trying to appeal to the masses....and your appeal is to the young thinkers out there and of course I am burned out from a long life within the system....as it were....

The 70's and the 80's and the 90's and some of the new century was a blur of work and family and children and that's the way it was for me at least...

I at least woke up....

Your writing and essays are much appreciated ....


Thank you...

Nine

Hi Nine:

Yes indeed, for those in the system, it beats it right out of you. Just yesterday, I saw the new propaganda making the rounds that Pakistan is responsible for the USA being in Afghanistan, as they hoodwinked us. I hardly know what to say about such tripe. The CIA’s biggest covert op ever was pouring several billion dollars of arms and supplies into Afghanistan through Pakistan, using them as cannon fodder in a war that the leading U.S. “diplomat” bragged about creating:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#brzezinski

A New York Times reporter has written the book that now points the finger at Pakistan. The New York Times is the imperial press, and has zero credibility on such matters:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big

You have to accept many imperial assumptions to even begin to think the way that that NYT reporter did.

On the masses, I learned that lesson the hard way. Dennis is the best I ever saw or heard of for trying to do FE the “masses” way, and I saw how those efforts turned out:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run

People have to let go of all the crap they are sold before they can begin to understand what is happening, and yes, the younger people have been fed the crap for less time, and have less invested in believing it, so they are easier to reach. Fuller noticed it, too:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#college

I keep getting bombarded about the latest FE effort. It sure would be nice to be able to take a few months off from your day job and make the Fifth Epochal Event happen in your spare time, but it is not so easy, as far as I have seen.

My upcoming essay is intended to help readers reach the higher levels of understanding needed to help humanity turn the corner. Conspiracists, structuralists, scientists, New Agers, FE tinkerers, etc., all have their particular perspectives. While there is something worthwhile in all of them, they usually have a lot of naïveté associated with them, particularly if they are from the West, and paranoia does not help, either. Shedding one’s naïveté and paranoia is only part of the process, however. Developing a comprehensive understanding of the issues takes some scientific acumen and enough real-world experience to see through the population management techniques that come from many quarters. We have to free our minds from the indoctrination and the puny conceptions we are fed if we are going to get anywhere.

Back to work.

Hi:

A couple of observations today, during a break from work. It really is hard to keep track of all the mass shootings in the USA. It is a direct result of our violent, gun-nut culture, although the NRA will never admit it. A little over a year ago, a deeply disturbed young man shot up an elementary school, killing 26 people.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_H...chool_shooting

The one-year anniversary was a somber day, and triggered plenty of introspection on the murders and why it happened. Nobody waved any flags, however, that I recall.

http://newtown.patch.com/news/sandy-hook-one-year-later

A year ago today, two deeply disturbed young men bombed the Boston marathon, and there was a week-long saga of apprehending them. Several people died and a few hundred were injured. In both events, the conspiracist mills cranked overtime with a wide array of bizarre theories, including ones that provided “evidence” that neither event even really happened.

The young man (age 20) who killed those children was a white American, and nobody really knows what motivated him to do it. The young men (ages 19 and 26) who bombed the marathon were from the former Soviet Union, fell under the spell of the Islamic equivalent of the NRA, and committed their heinous acts as some kind of retribution for American foreign policy. What is highly ironic about those “extremist” Islamic beliefs is that the USA and Britain are primarily responsible for those beliefs. As my recent chapter draft has alluded to, when Winston Churchill converted the British Navy to oil from coal on the eve of World War I, the fate of the Middle East was sealed, and characters such as Lawrence of Arabia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._E._Lawrence#Arab_revolt

were sent in to steal the oil by helping to tear apart the Ottoman Empire. The British elevated a fringe Islamic sect into prominence, and they run Saudi Arabia today, which is where most of the alleged 9/11 hijackers came from. They are further to the right than the NRA, but they are the USA’s good allies, as they have provided cheap oil for generations. The British got an oil monopoly in Persia with their efforts, but after World War II and as Europe lost its empires, Persia (Iran) became a republic with an elected leader, and in 1953, the British were about to lose their monopoly as Iran wanted to control their oil and profit from it (and become industrialized, just as all such nations wanted to do after World War II), and Britain asked the USA for help, and the USA obliged by overthrowing the Iranian government and installing a dictator called the Shah. As John Perkins was taught:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#neocolonialist

the USA began to privatize covert action after overthrowing the Iranian government, to make it harder to become accountable to any kinds of investigations and official action. The Shah wiped out all progressive organizations that supported the democratic culture that was forming in Iran, and the Islamic Church was all that was left. The Islamic clerics that run Iran today would have never been very influential if not for the USA, Britain, and their puppet. Similarly, about the time that the Shah was overthrown, the USA armed and incited Afghanis to violence to bait the Soviet Union into invading, and as I noted in my previous post, the USA’s foreign policy architect took credit for luring the Soviet Union into invading Afghanistan.

As my friend Ralph McGehee wrote before the CIA silenced him:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#protection

the jihad in Afghanistan was entirely a CIA creation, even to the point of printing up thousands of copies of the Koran for the training schools. Anybody hip to this stuff knows that KLA members:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#terrorist

were just more jihadists that we trained and used. The overthrow of the Libyan government and other recent evils were also inflicted by Islamic thugs that we trained and supported; the kind of thugs that can be found in all nations. Similarly, Saddam Hussein was a tyrant (who was once on the CIA’s payroll) in the most secular Islamic nation (after we wrecked Iran) who scourged jihadists in Iraq, and now Al Qaeda thrives in Iraq, again courtesy of the USA.

So, those angry young men who bombed the Boston Marathon were influenced by the very people that the USA and Britain trained and encouraged. It could be seen as a form of blowback, but it is probably more accurate to just consider them close cousins to that kid who shot up that school. Could they have been part of some covert op run by the USA? Maybe, but there is no convincing evidence that I have heard of. They seem to be immigrant versions of that kid who shot up that school.

So, why the nationalistic displays today for the Boston Marathon? They are all over the media today:

http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/201...ear_later.html

http://wwlp.com/2014/04/15/boston-ma...ne-year-later/

Why not for that school? Why not for all the acts of mass violence that happen almost daily in the USA? If that school shooter had been black, or if there was some evidence that he did not destroy that it was some political statement and not just murder, would we have waved flags on that day? Instead of treating those young men as the criminals they are, they have become one more reason for grand displays of nationalism. What happened at the Boston Marathon would have been just an average day in today’s Iraq.

If an American reads Orwell’s 1984, it can be eerie to see how much today’s nationalistic ceremonies resemble those described in Orwell’s prescient novel, especially after “terrorist” attacks.

On a related note, I discovered today that Michael Ruppert recently killed himself:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ruppert#Death

I tried to interest him in FE long ago:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#ruppert

but got nowhere, as usual. Ruppert was a big advocate of the “inside job” angle on 9/11 but, like his pal Heinberg, he just could not seem to wrap his head around organized suppression of disruptive technologies. That bifurcation in their thinking was remarkable, to put it mildly, and was evidence that helped me conclude that people like them were addicted to scarcity. The peak oiler message is one of almost unremitting doom and austerity:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity

and I have seen FE and abundance treated as the enemy in those circles, and they are among the most entrenched Level 3s:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level3

Ruppert’s last video clips showed a deeply distraught man:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNVHbzlzUS8

How could you preach doom and gloom and not be distraught? In my essay, I have written how studying the dark stuff damaged me, as it has every scholar in those fields, but suicidal? There is too much work to do. :)

I see Ruppert’s fate as a cautionary tale. If you want to look into an abyss that is largely of your own making, then be prepared for what you will find. That said, Ruppert did some very good work. I still link to the court transcript that shut the lid on the Tailwind flap:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#arnett

that is on Ruppert’s site. Iris Chang committed suicide:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_Ch...sion_and_death

while studying atrocities.

These are dangerous subjects. Gary Webb killed himself:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_We...math_and_death

I entertain the idea that he may have been murdered, but because how his life was wrecked for reporting the truth about the CIA, it almost does not matter if he pulled the trigger or not. His blood is on the evil empire’s hands.

Wade

Hi:

Briefly, I am now getting to the part of the essay where I discuss UFOs and the ET presence. Again, Brian O nearly died when he poked his nose into it:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack

and when I heard Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses began to describe, in 1997, when they had those hearings on Capitol Hill:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak

some of the exotic technologies they witnessed, including FE and antigravity, I had already heard my friend describe seemingly identical technologies from the little show he got:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground

The stuff is real, but reaching productive understandings of the issue is the same process as navigating the structuralist/conspiracist divide: people have to think like creators instead of victims in order to attain comprehension. We are not alone in the universe, few ETs are motivated by hostile intent, but they are also not going to save us from ourselves. It is time for us to grow up and become responsible members of galactic society. We have to clean up our own mess; nobody is going to do it for us.

Godzilla is covering up ETs for the same reason he has squirreled FE, antigravity, and other technologies in his Golden Hoard: to maintain his global power game. It is all about power, but keeping a chokehold on energy production is primarily how he maintains the game.

Again, Godzilla can’t be snuck past, defeated in battle, and so on. He can only be made obsolete, and that will only happen with we begin to act like creators, and creators create with love. It is really about that simple, but oh-so-hard to do in a world based on scarcity and fear.

As with the organized suppression of FE, denying the ETs or fixating on the suppression of their presence is counterproductive. The ETs will not solve our problems for us, and only when we are ready to meet them as equals are they going to come out into the open. They apparently have some karma regarding our situation, maybe including genetic intervention, and I mean maybe, and a lot of today’s “high tech” technology may indeed have the ET influence to thank. Those are areas where I try to tread lightly, and they are rabbit holes that can easily swallow up newbies. Keeping both feet on the ground and a whole heart is the key to solving this global riddle.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Here is what I have so far on the latest chapter, which will be my last one that deals with historical issues. We will see how much of it survives the editorial process. I have to tread warily in the UFO/ET issue, but I have been close to it for many years, sometimes with zero degrees of separation, and sometimes up to two, but I am not going to write about anything that is not pretty close to my circle.

Back to chores.

Best,

Wade

The Postwar Boom, Peak Oil, and the Decline of Industrial Civilization

Europe’s conquest of Earth set numerous demographic trends in motion, some of which were new in the human journey. Of all the calamities that humanity has inflicted onto its fellow humans, the greatest proportional one was when our distant ancestors, themselves descendants of the founder group that left Africa, drove all other human species to extinction, probably violently. Also, virtually all megafauna on three continents that had never before encountered humans were quickly driven to extinction after humans arrived. The next genocide of such proportion was fifty thousand years later with Europe’s conquest and “settling” of the Western Hemisphere and Australia. The result of Europe’s exploitation of Africa, including the transatlantic slave trade and the rubber boom’s “philanthropic” genocide, is proportionally the next greatest disaster in the human journey. The Arab slave trade should also be given “credit” here; while it was not as intense as Europe’s rape of Africa, it lasted for longer and ultimately tallied more victims. Africa, the Western Hemisphere, and Australia are all relatively underpopulated compared to Eurasia today, largely due to those holocausts primarily inflicted by European peoples. The West’s immense debt to the rest of humanity may never be repaid. The West rarely even acknowledges it. Also, peoples in Asia suffered demographic catastrophes as a result of Europe’s conquest, with Bengal’s rape a seminal instance. Asia’s proportion of the world’s population declined relative to Europe’s between 1750 and 1900 as it suffered under the European lash. India’s excess deaths alone under British hegemony have been estimated at nearly two billion.

But Europe received a “boost” by exploiting humanity and Earth, and key trends emerged that may see the West begin to repay its debt, and one appearing with the Industrial Revolution is called the demographic transition; preindustrial societies had high birth and death rates, and as industrialization progressed, several changes happened, which included:

1. Improvements in sanitation and nutrition reduced death rates, particularly infant mortality;
2. Machines made human labor less valuable, particularly unskilled labor, which led to these consequences:

a. Slavery became economically obsolete;
b. Children were no longer net assets to parents, but net liabilities, so women gave birth to fewer children;
c. Women began to receive education and their “opportunities” were no longer confined to producing exploitable children;

3. Industrialized societies had educated populations with long life expectancies and low infant mortality, women’s status was higher than ever before, and slavery was seen as a barbaric relic of primitive times.

The mortality decline preceded the fertility decline by about a century when the demographic transition began, and mortality decline preceding fertility decline is a universal feature of the transition.

While slavery’s end is not part of the demographic transition, the demographic transition and slavery’s end had the same ultimate cause: the rising standard of living of industrialized lifestyles that made exploitation of children, women, and slaves uneconomical. As people became more affluent, they developed new levels of social conscience.

Few would argue that industrialized peoples live in the best of all possible worlds, but industrialization triggered those changes, and few would say they were not beneficial. In very real terms, an increase in energy use was an increase in freedom, as it provided choices either previously unimaginable or unavailable to non-elites. All non-industrialized peoples long to enjoy the benefits of industrialization. The only pristine industrialization was in the UK, and other nations were influenced by the UK’s experience. After World War II, Europe lost its empires. Imperialism was partly replaced with neocolonial exploitation that the USA largely imposed, as is clearly intended in declassified documents, but once the de jure imperial masters were gone, all newly freed nations embarked on industrialization if they could. The key constraints were access to fossil fuels and the ability to exploit them.

From the very first settlements to the very first cities, the advantages of bringing humans together in such groups were primarily economic and social. Mass communication and professions became possible for the first time. All human settlements were located on low-energy transportation lanes, where food and energy-related materials could cheaply (“cheap” is always primarily an energy concept) supply the settlements’ residents. Virtually all settlements were dependent on surplus energy provided by domestication and low-energy transportation lanes to deliver it (one of the few exceptions being the Pacific Northwest’s salmon-based economy). The key dynamic of all civilizations was that the energy surplus generated by agriculture allowed for a proportion of the population that did not have to raise food and could learn new skills. They became the first professionals and elites. But early agriculture’s surplus was modest, and in Sumerian cities, more than 75% of the residents were full-time farmers. All early civilizations needed at least 90% of the workforce engaged in agriculture, to support a relatively small professional class and elite. The peasant/slave/serf and their variants formed the backbone of all preindustrial civilizations. Because the energy surplus was so small, freedom was truly limited, and social structures were rigid and often enforced with draconian measures. The relationship between elite and commoners was a carrot-and-stick relationship, with civilization’s benefits attracting the populace, and partial appropriation of the surplus came with the “deal.” Religions and customs were bent to elite benefit or were invented wholesale, but also were used to keep civilization orderly, which was one of its primary attractions. The violence of early states on their domestic populations eventually gave way to milder forms of coercion. While cities oppressed their hinterlands, they could also stimulate innovation and economic growth. Clear until the 20th century, cities only maintained their populations by a constant influx of “surplus” population from the hinterland to the city. Even in the late 19th century, migrating to the city meant a 50% increase in infant mortality. Rural wet-nursing became a profession in European civilization, as affluent urban mothers sent their infants to be raised in the hinterland. In nations such as the USA, Sweden, and Japan, urban life expectancy did not reach rural life expectancy until World War II.

During the urbanization of the High Middle Ages, and even with the spread of watermills, Europe’s workforce was still about 80% devoted to farming. The productivity of industrializing agriculture led to the great decline in agricultural workers. By 1800, less than 40% of the English workforce was involved in agriculture. As late as 1870, more than 70% of the USA’s workforce was still engaged in agriculture, and is less than 2% today.

When a city attains a population of about 100,000-to-200,000 people, the costs of civilization begin outweighing the benefits, and when a city reaches a population of about a million, the detriments become so pronounced (clogged transportation lanes, pollution, crowding, crime, disease, etc.) it must enact extraordinary measures to remain livable.

One outcome of the colonial and continuing neocolonial eras is a population explosion in poor nations. Paradoxes and contradictions are debated, but the primary outcome is the West feeding the urban hells of poor nations. Until World War II, the so-called Third World was a net exporter of food, but by the 1980s, imports of Western-grown food (primarily grain) provided nearly half the calories consumed in the cities of the Third World’s market economies. The other trend was the “Green Revolution,” where industrialized agricultural methods were introduced to Third World nations. Increased calories and decreased infant mortality led to the population explosion, but the demographic transition has been global; in my lifetime, global fertility has declined from five to less than three children per woman, with deeply impoverished Africa being Earth’s only remaining place with high birthrates. Women need to produce 2.1 children on average for a population to remain stable, and Europe’s birth rate has fallen to 1.4 per woman in 2014, and all industrial civilizations currently have less than replacement-rate fertility. In the USA, exceptions to that proclivity are largely confined to immigrants from preindustrial societies and members of preindustrial religions that supported high birthrates in order to keep the religions flush with adherents, the Roman Catholic and Mormon churches in particular. I live near Microsoft’s headquarters and am surrounded by immigrants from across the world. Microsoft’s employees from preindustrial societies, such as India, China, Africa, and Latin America often have large families, while Microsoft’s employees from industrialized nations have small families. Also, employees from preindustrial nations often bring their parents, who help provide child care. Such multi-generational households disappeared in the USA long ago. It has been interesting to witness the contrasts.

The West’s interaction with the developing world likely had little benevolent intent behind it. In this area, I have probably had more awakening and engaged in more study than for any other subject that this essay addresses. When I first dreamed of changing the energy industry when I was sixteen, I imagined that not everybody would welcome a change in humanity’s energy paradigm. I clearly recall thinking that the resistance would come from foreign interests in tropical locales. I was probably influenced by the propaganda surrounding the USA’s invasion of southeast Asia. Little did I suspect that the interests most hostile to changing humanity’s energy paradigm lived in the West, which I learned about the hard way. After my life was wrecked, I staggered from my home town, knowing that whatever I had been taught about how the world really worked was likely false, and I began seeking alternative sources of information. My first alternative influences on that subject were the work of Noam Chomsky, Ralph McGehee, Ed Herman, Howard Zinn, and others like them. If I had not already been radicalized, I wonder how receptive I would have been to their message. Those men were all among my most gracious correspondents, and I learned more from their collective efforts than I did from any other body of work.

In essence, the fake philanthropy of John Rockefeller and the robber barons simply went global, neatly conjoined with the fake philanthropy of the imperial powers. Playing the “humanitarian” game is quite a racket. Even “saints” such as Mother Teresa and the pious padre whom my elementary school was named after did not fare well under scrutiny. As I studied the “radical” works of my early mentors, it became obvious that international and American institutions officially devoted to alleviating the suffering of the world’s poorest people were often as phony as John Rockefeller’s “charities.” The World Bank, International Monetary Fund, USAID, and even the Peace Corps are all neocolonial tools designed to oppress the world’s poor, not help them. Nearly all of the world’s poorest nations export food to the USA. In effect, it is little different than what the British did to Bengal, where people starve while they ship food to the rich nations. The desire of the world’s poor to be free of colonial and neocolonial oppression, and how Western institutions lie about it, is something that people such as Ralph McGehee learned through bitter experience.

While the work of Chomsky, Herman, and friends is called institutional analysis, structural analysis, or functionalism, they are often charged with being conspiracy theorists or conspirators themselves, which is the exact opposite of the truth. For nearly thirty years, I have studied a wide array of analyses, from far right conspiracy theories to far left Marxian analytics, and it took me a many years to finally realize why neither conspiracists nor structuralists seemed capable of understanding the milieu around exotic technologies and their organized suppression. Conspiracists believed in conscious manipulation dictating how events manifested, while structuralists believed that conscious intent was not necessary to explain how events transpired. While structural analysis is far more sophisticated than conspiracy theories, both views suffer from their foundational assumptions. Humanity’s current state is largely due to people’s lack of personal integrity and their limited awareness as they try surviving in a world that is complex beyond their understanding, but that does not mean that everybody is so unaware. Hyper-elites know what they are doing, after a fashion, and they have taken their lack of personal integrity to awe-inspiring levels. However, their control is far less than total, and they do not need to micromanage the situation. Similar to bears and John Rockefeller, hyper-elites know that if they only control key choke points, they can then control the entire planet. For the herd’s size, the shepherd’s task has been surprisingly easy. As always, finding an opportune place to intervene in the energy production/consumption process was the key to control and receiving the highest EROI, and hyper-elites “vertically integrated” to control production, or more accurately, to prevent production of free energy. The organized suppression of disruptive energy technologies has become a science at the hyper-elite level, and as Chomsky has pointed out, elites will choose hegemony over survival. However, playing chicken with Earth has even made hyper-elites uneasy, and most currently favor disseminating free energy and related technologies, which could readily move humanity back from the brink of the abyss. Members of that disenchanted hyper-elite faction gave my close friend a demonstration of some of their hoarded technologies. However, the dark heart of that organization is black as a moonless midnight, and in my circles it is known that one crazed hyper-elite contingency plan is terraforming Mars if Earth’s surface becomes uninhabitable. Sanity may prevail, but I will not idly hope for the best, which is the motivation behind writing this essay.

Soon after hiring all the useful Nazis at World War II’s end, the USA’s national security state was born. The CIA was founded then, as was the NSA. It did not take long for the USA to begin wars both hot and cold, with the USA of Truman’s administration invading Korea in 1950, and the Eisenhower administration’s foreign policy was dominated by a pair of brothers who long represented robber baron interests. One was the Secretary of State, and the other ran the CIA. They got their start at the same company that conspired with Morgan in swindling the American government on the Panama Canal deal. Robber baron interests rode roughshod over Latin America for generations, and those brothers’ achievements included overthrowing the Iranian government on behalf of American and British oil companies in 1953, and overthrowing the Guatemalan government on behalf of United Fruit in 1954, which the brothers literally had a financial stake in, with the CIA brother serving on United Fruit’s board of directors. The Secretary of State brother’s activities inspired the term “brinkmanship,” as his notion of diplomacy was threatening the Soviet Union with nuclear attack. The CIA brother was deeply involved with Nazi Germany and was instrumental in “rehabilitating” some of Hitler’s biggest cheerleaders and putting them back into the same positions they had while supporting Hitler. The Secretary of State brother chaired the Rockefeller Foundation’s board of trustees for a generation. John Kennedy fired the CIA brother for the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and that brother sat on the Warren Commission and covered up the CIA’s involvement in Kennedy’s murder. The CIA brother is one of the prime suspects in Kennedy’s murder among independent researchers (the CIA specialized in assassinations), and led the “investigation” into the murder. Such stark conflicts of interest have characterized American government since its first president, although that one was more along the “fox-in-the-henhouse” variety that became increasingly common in the USA after 1963.

The USA enjoyed its postwar boom until the oil crisis of 1973. Rosie the Riveter went home and got pregnant by her returning war hero. I was born in 1958, during that heyday when having children became the national pastime. The USA’s postwar boom was the greatest prosperity that any peoples ever had, and televisions shows such as Lassie, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best, My Three Sons, and Leave it to Beaver depicted that Golden Age, or at least how it ideally looked. The average American family more resembled Archie Bunker’s, not Ozzie’s. In the 1950s, June Cleaver replaced Rosie as an icon, getting her husband’s pipe, paper, and dinner ready after his workday in corporate America. By the early 1960s, the American housewife was imbibing Librium and Valium, with the Rolling Stones soon singing about Mother’s Little Helper.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union sold its system to newly free former colonies as a path to industrializing in a generation. Mutually Assured Destruction was a real threat, and the Cuban Missile Crisis is the closest that humanity has yet come to a nuclear war. I doubt that John Kennedy’s murder will ever be solved, but my policeman friend, who helped me spring my partner from jail, who knew of Oswald’s involvement in the operation that got John Kennedy killed, believed that John Kennedy was killed because he began negotiating world peace. My friend’s account of Oswald’s involvement took on a new level of credibility with the declassification of the Operation Northwoods documents, and a recent book on the John Kennedy assassination, endorsed by Robert Kennedy Jr., also makes the case that John Kennedy was murdered because he was attempting to negotiate world peace after he realized how close the USA came to igniting a nuclear war.

As is obvious, the closer this narrative comes to the present day, the more personal it becomes, as it reaches my lifetime and the lifetimes of those around me, and our efforts had global implications. Because the subject needs to be addressed and I have been involved with it, I will describe what I am aware of regarding the UFO and extraterrestrial (“ET”) issue. In the early 1990s, an emergency room doctor mounted an effort called the Disclosure Project to inform the public about the UFO/ET issue. After years of briefing officials from many institutions, including the Vatican, United Nations, White House, Pentagon, and the USA’s Congress (and he never received a scoffing or disbelieving reaction), secret congressional hearings were held so that witnesses could testify (and key Disclosure Project members developed strange and fatal cancer cases immediately afterward). An astronaut who walked on the Moon co-chaired the hearings and has been quite vocal about the ET presence. One Disclosure Project witness was one of the first astronauts, and other astronauts have described their experiences, at least of those who could talk publicly about them. I am aware of recent astronaut close encounters that have been classified, from sources close to me. My astronaut colleague looked into the UFO issue in a highly public way and nearly died the day he returned home after refusing an “offer” from the USA’s military to work on classified UFO projects. He had no doubt that his brush with death and the “offer” were related. Similar to John Kennedy’s murder, the cloak and dagger crowd is deeply involved and there is a three-ring circus of conspiracy theories in circulation, which includes not only those hatched by unbalanced conspiracists but also by those involved with the cover-up, as disinformation. While the subject is publicly dismissed and attributed to the fantasies of the tin-foil-hat crowd, the situation is quite real. I went to see UFOs for myself, and was not disappointed.

When I began hearing Disclosure Project witnesses testimony, some exotic technologies they described were nearly exactly what my friend was shown, which I heard about several years before I heard the Disclosure Project’s witnesses describing it. I have numerous connections to the issue, some of which involve highly public figures but, to me, the important issue is why there is a cover-up. Eisenhower was the last American president really in the loop on the UFO issue. John Kennedy was briefed on it, but the situation had been largely privatized by that time. Jimmy Carter had a famous confrontation with the Director of Central Intelligence soon after becoming president, where Carter asked for the CIA’s files on UFOs and was rebuffed. The CIA’s Director of Central Intelligence was none other than George Bush the First, whom Carter fired soon after Bush rejected his request. I have also heard credible stories that Carter was threatened into silence. The most prominent NASA-Nazi was Wernher von Braun, who was largely responsible for NASA hiring my astronaut colleague; he was picked with von Braun’s desired mission to Mars in mind. Dr. von Braun told his spokesperson in his last years that ETs would be portrayed as the ultimate terrorist threat and used to form a one-world dictatorship so that humanity could huddle under its “protection,” and that the “threat” would be a fabrication created by the Global Controllers, as ETs generally do not have hostile intent. As an example of anecdotes from those close to me, one friend was close to Allen Hynek’s family, and was told that Hynek’s transformation was indeed how it has been popularly presented, in that Hynek first approached the issue as a disbeliever and debunker, to eventually become convinced by the evidence that UFOs were a real phenomenon. In my circles are many who have experienced sightings and close encounters, and few, if any, would be considered members of the tin-foil-hat crowd. The stories of electrogravitic research going “black” in the 1950s also aligns with my understanding of the issue.

My perception today is that the reason for the UFO/ET cover-up has little or nothing to do with fear of a War of the Worlds reaction (which Eisenhower might have rightly feared in the 1950s, but most Americans today believe that we are not alone in the universe or are open to the idea), but to suppress exotic technologies that would end hyper-elite rule on Earth. Their rule would end for two reasons, the first of which is that free energy and antigravity technologies would radically transform human civilization in ways that TV shows such as Star Trek depict, where humanity lived in true economic abundance for the first time. People living in scarcity are easily manipulated, but people living in abundance would not be. The second reason is that few humans would have much obedience to obviously corrupt Earth-based institutions, particularly draconian ones, when it became accepted that humans are simply one of many sentient species in our galaxy and that we are not particularly advanced at all; we are more like cavemen than distinguished members of galactic society.

While knowledge that we are not alone in the universe will change humanity’s self-regard, and NASA was warned about such a change, changing humanity’s economic and environmental situation is by far the most important upshot of the UFO/ET issue, which the Disclosure Project’s founder also realizes; he has been involved with the free energy issue for many years. He spoke at a conference that I helped organize and fund in 2004, where I learned from him about how large the Global Controllers’ payoffs for silencing inventors have been, which was congruent with my experiences.

The corporate order that remade fluoride into “medicine” in the 1950s or that overthrew the Iranian and Guatemalan governments likely resided a few levels below the Global Controllers in Earth’s power structure. The connections between them will have almost no publicly available documentation, and what might become public will always have its authenticity debated, and again, I will leave those issues behind for now and focus on more publicly known issues of history and science.

A bit of a (grim) joke:
