    Hi:

    As I have written plenty, I really don’t keep up on the free energy field much, but I still get bombarded with news in the field, which remains in a state of arrested development, with the focus on the scientist with a theory and the inventor with a gizmo. On my Avalon thread, you can see a fair number of people stumble in with gossip on Keshe and Rossi, for instance, which has mercifully died away in recent years. Megalomania and outright scams are plentiful in the field.

    I am sympathetic to people who are turned off by Dennis’s P.T. Barnum, Bible-banging, Patriot Movement, populist ways. I long ago stopped believing that the populist, businessman’s, or any kind of mass movement approach had a prayer, and I have been doing something very different for a long time. If Bucky was alive today, he would understand what I am doing.

    I am sympathetic to people who just can’t wrap their heads around what I am attempting, as it does not seem to be “doing anything,” but it is. As the Christmas post that I just made shows, with its NDE accounts, all that we take with us is our awareness. My work is about raising awareness for the already awakened, so that they can get to a level that can be useful for this Epochal task. The masses are not going to begin to awaken to the Fifth Epoch until it arrives, and that is normal. I don’t seek the normal.

    That stated, I made a recent post on how the patent route is foolish or suicidal in the free energy milieu, and I linked to a pretty good discussion of it. Again, I don’t pay attention to the free energy field much, but when I made that link, I surfed around that site a little, and it had reasonable discussions of various avenues to free energy or something close to it. The site focused on traditional alternatives, however, with no mention of Dennis. I expect that, but what kind of surprised me was that there was no mention of Dennis’s heat pump. It is still the best heating system that has ever been on the world market. On that site’s solar section, there was an article on heat pump water heaters. It was the same old crap of fin-and-tube heat pumps that get a COP of two, just like in the 1970s! Dennis’s heat pump got a COP of five in January in Minnesota! It is as if his heat pump never existed, and it blew away all other traditional alternative energy. So, I have to wonder if a site like that is subtle disinformation, or if the authors are really that ignorant.

    Google “Dennis Lee free energy,” and you will see several libelous articles by major publications, with Mr. Skeptic’s libelous article leading the way, and several “skeptical” organizations weigh in, as they demonstrate their naïveté and recycle each other’s lies. I expect that from those sources, as they only reinforce my journey’s primary lesson and are more examples of Ed and Noam’s propaganda model in operation. A few years back, I even read something by Tom Bearden that mentioned heat pumps that could get all the way up to COPs of four. When Dennis is not being libeled, he is erased, even by people in the field.

    The only place on Earth that I know of where Dennis’s heat pump is being sold is in Portugal, with what appears to be inferior equipment (those panels look pretty cheap, and my guess is that that system holds only half of the refrigerant that Dennis’s system did). Every discussion of heat pumps and water heaters that I saw when just surfing the Internet for a little while had no mention at all of flat-plate evaporators. If somebody wants to invoke a conspiracy on that sad state of affairs, I won’t argue much against it, but I think that it is just more of the same for why people live in their tiny reality boxes, even supposedly leading-edge thinkers. If a highly successful technology, which was wiped out in the highest-profile takedown in the history of the alternative energy field, is 100% ignored by the people in the field, how far outside of their reality window is something like free energy, much less its organized suppression, going to be?

    I met Dennis the same month that Microsoft did its IPO in the same city, and you will never hear anything from Bill Gates on any of this, much less from any other “philanthropist” or “visionary.”

    It can be kind of surreal at times, but keeping free energy unimaginable is the GCs’ greatest triumph, and they have a zillion unwitting accomplices and enablers who do nearly all of the dirty work, gratis.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    About once a month, another exceptional NDE account is added here. The latest is typical. This one happened in Seattle this year, and his NDE happened while his brain was drained of its blood, filled with cryogenic fluid, and frozen. That is appropriate reading on this Christmas Day.
    Warm winter wishes Wade, to you and Mrs Frazier, and all passing through.

    In that NDE link you posted :

    https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1s..._nde_8914.html

    this passage from his email exchange is lovely :

    Being that everything was soft, I sank into the plants and the ground. It was like I sank into mud but it didn't feel gross. The energy of the whole place was healing but when I was on/in the ground, I was directly connected to it and I knew it could/would heal me. I was so relaxed and at peace. I hang on to that feeling and somewhat return there while I meditate. I somehow believe that I can still use that energy to heal myself as well as others. It's like the frequency of Unconditional Love can actually make physical changes to us on a molecular level and make things right and hold things right.

    It made me wonder if he was experiencing a version of earth from another dimensional perspective. I'm referring to how many (including myself) consider earth to be alive with her own spirit. Even here, in this dimension of heavy density that we experience as the 'material' realm, there are those who feel, and experience, how lying down on the earth, or even burying most of your body in its soil can allow the ecosystem to transmute toxins, and the earth's energy to realign what is imbalanced in your energy body.

    Perhaps Scott was perceiving earth purely through his consciousness and energy. Perhaps he travelled to a realm beyond the earth. Perhaps it was all 'imagined' as some might say. Whatever way you define it, the feeling of unconditional love that he was able to experience in a lighter realm was something very real to him that he was able to recall and re-experience after his return to this density; perceiving once again through the body. A gift he brought back. A gift from himself or from a divine source, or from the former as an aspect of the latter. Experienced as unity. How wonderful.

    In his story Jesus was known for his miracles. During which he tapped into energy sources that enabled him to alter reality and manifest abundance. From physical food to deep healing. And through his journey, his story, flowed the key to it all... :

    Love

    Perhaps this coming year will bring “2020” vision to the hearts of increasing numbers of people. Enabling us to step further into that path, and tap deeper into that realm.

    A friend of mine mentioned to me earlier that to her the word Christ meant 'light'. I love that at this time of year people bring out the winter lights, a celebration of light itself at what is, in Northern parts, the darkest time of year. The time when seeds are in the depths, where the light of life is swirling from within, preparing for the journey to blossom, be fruitful, and connect with the world.

    Below is a painting by Akiane Kramarik.

    My way of sending some interdimensional, and infinitely cosmic, greetings to one and all.

    In the now and always...

    Hi Melinda:

    My take on that passage from that man’s NDE was that he was likely experiencing a higher-dimensional view of our reality. It is called the astral plane, among other terms. I was struck by that woman’s NDE, and by this passage in particular:


    “But Love is everything, love does everything, and love must be understood. Love is totally misunderstood and Earth is a great school and opportunity to teach us about Love.”


    Amen. Also, when she wrote:


    “But I felt Love at its highest when three immense columns of light came in front of me. These columns of light were esoteric beings. I have never felt a love such as this one. The love that they have for me and that I have for them, is indescribable.”


    I was transported to my viewing of Mr. Professor’s body at the funeral home, as his widow stood next to his casket. I saw four columns of golden light, two taller and two smaller, and I got the sense that the taller were angels, and the shorter were Mr. Professor and his mother.

    NDE accounts are all different, but also all similar in ways. Death sure isn’t the end. The theme of love that dwarfs any such feeling or expression while on Earth is common. The life reviews, meeting loved ones, how time does not really exist there, and so on, are standard features. Again, if I had not had my own experiences that demonstrated how false the materialistic models of consciousness are, I wonder if I would have any mystical literature at all. That is why I always advise that people get their mystical awakenings, first, before reading mystical literature. Otherwise, the reading experience won’t mean much to them. Those exceptional experiences are, well, exceptional. But people should not try to get an NDE experience, or they might not come back!

    If I had not been awakened by my adventures, I not only would likely not have much worth saying, but I would have likely never encountered Noam and Ed’s work, and many other areas of my study over the past 30 years.

    Our home is lit up with Christmas lights, and we have some of them on all-year-long. Our neighborhood is lit up pretty well with the lights, too. It is quite a time of the year.

    I don’t know what 2020 brings, but I just keep doing my work. It is not the turnings of the calendar that matter so much, but what we do in those turnings. The NDE accounts have that in common. What we do while we are here is what really matters.

    Happy 2020, and nice painting.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    I doubt that I can overemphasize what the grind of scarcity does to people. I grew up as a member of history’s most privileged demographic group, I can only appreciate the relative abundance that I was raised in, but I also saw the beginning of the end, with the USA’s first energy crisis, and it has been downhill ever since for the USA’s middle class.

    Being thrust into an urban hell after graduation, in a shark-tank professional environment, which helped me eventually realize that I was in a worthless profession, seemed to be what that voice in my head had in mind, as I was prepared for my odyssey with Dennis. It was the kind of education that you can’t buy, and when the dust finally settled in Ventura, I began to understand that I lived in a world of artificially enforced scarcity, and shadowy interests orchestrated the obscenity that is the global economy, but what amazed me was how nearly everybody played along, in their pursuit of self-service. I had to experience it to believe it, and I resisted that realization every step of the way, until it was beaten into my head in no uncertain terms. I met some fellow travelers, those Boy and Girl Scouts, but it was really only a relative few. Oh, the lies I was raised with, as was nearly everybody else in my society, although few of the oppressed minorities drank that Kool-Aid. I did not have to convince black people how rigged the American legal system was, or American Indians or Mexican-Americans. They knew it all too well.

    The ideologists of my great nation turned genocides into heroic tales or “mistakes” in our high mission of spreading freedom to the world. Those Big Lies can only work in a world of scarcity and fear. Our material circumstances condition everything about our awareness, and in a world of abundance, the framework of scarcity that virtually everybody operates from will collapse, and nobody will miss it. The coming super-Epoch of abundance is currently unimaginable to the vast majority of humanity (well more than 99%), but it will only take a relative few of us to make it happen. The technology that will form that super-Epoch’s foundation is older than I am. Only when the new Epoch is here will the masses of humanity begin to awaken.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    I have written plenty on the evolution of my awareness on the issue of free energy, the Fifth Epoch, and how to get there, but a brief summary is in order:
    • I was trained to be a scientist from a young age.
    • In 1974, during the USA’s first energy crisis, which ended the postwar boom, Mr. Mentor’s engine began making waves in both the federal government and the media, and my energy dreams began. That same year, I had my cultural and mystical awakenings.
    • Three years later, when I realized what my scientific career might look like, I decided to do something else, and a voice in my head suggested that I study business, in reply to my desperate prayer.
    • For the next four years, I drank the Kool-Aid of capitalism, but also began to question it upon graduation.
    • After four years of postgraduate disillusionment, I prayed for guidance for the second and so far last time in my life, was answered again, and I landed in the middle of the greatest attempt ever made to bring alternative energy to the marketplace. I have never heard of another story like that.
    • My initial orientation to the energy issue was the inventor’s, because of Mr. Mentor and friends, and after meeting Dennis, it soon became the businessman’s orientation.
    • Little did I know it at the time, but in Seattle, Dennis really stopped trying the pure businessman’s approach, for a few reasons. One was that he finally began to realize how rigged the capitalist game was, and the tax credit that made his programs so successful that they were wiped out by the local electric industry, had expired.
    • Dennis could not get rid of me, however, and I chased him to Boston to help rebuild his effort.
    • The day after I arrived, Dennis began thinking in terms of free energy, and I soon became his partner.
    • Dennis immediately began putting a “patriotic,” Christian spin on our effort, neither of which was really to my liking, but I was determined to see where it would go, and rehabilitating Mr. Mentor was near the top of my list of priorities, if not at the top.
    • Soon after our first “Greatest Energy Shows on Earth,” I brought Mr. Mentor out to Boston to assess what we were doing, and he not only did not call Dennis’s idea impossible, but he cut a secret deal to bring our company to my home town, Ventura, California, and soon proposed his own free energy idea, of marrying the panels of Dennis’s heat pump with his engine, and the rocket began to take off.
    • The sharks began circling in Boston, soon after Dennis hit town and especially our first shows, and we got what I now know was the friendly buyout offer, which usually works on free energy inventors and businessmen.
    • A few months after the rocket began to take off in Ventura, and when the second hydraulic heat engine came to Dennis, Dennis began making big waves, and then we had the boom lowered on us.
    • The raid began my life’s worst year, and when that year finished, I had been radicalized.
    • Although my day on the witness stand was the turning point of my life, it was really the culmination of many little awakening moments over the previous few years. When 1988 ended, I was finally awake.
    • I decided to sacrifice my life to give Dennis a slim chance of living to see this side of the bars again. It was a seemingly futile gesture that incredibly worked, in the greatest miracle that I ever witnessed.
    • But after Mr. Professor and I busted Dennis out of jail, I made it clear to Dennis that I was finished with taking the businessman’s route to free energy, and I began the study that has resulted in my public writings when Dennis was still in jail.
    • Even though Dennis was out of jail, had a renowned attorney, and the prosecution’s case was based on Dennis’s not filing a form, the wheels of corruption still ground away, and Dennis was kangarooed into prison after the judge took Dennis’s attorney hostage, to force Dennis to capitulate.
    • I realized all of my journey’s key lessons by the time that I left my home town in 1990, to never return, and the most important of which is that the enemy is us. The reasons for our failures hinged on a lack of integrity from within the effort, not the external attacks so much. You could not have convinced me of that on the day that I met Dennis, but I had that lesson beaten into my head over the next four years.
    • We were definitely the target of an international conspiracy, which became evident when “European interests” offered Dennis, through the CIA, a billion dollars to fold up the operation, and Dennis was jailed with a million dollar bail soon after refusing the offer.
    • Soon before leaving my home town, I heard of Sparky Sweet and realized that free energy was not only possible, but that working prototypes existed.
    • Not long after those events, a close associate had free energy, antigravity, and other technologies demonstrated to him in an underground setting, and I eventually realized that those technologies are older than I am, but have been sequestered from public awareness and use by history’s greatest cover-up, which is conjoined with the ET cover-up.
    • Ever since he got out of jail, Dennis kept trying to get me to work with him again, but I always refused. When he got out of prison, after the authorities kept trying to get him murdered by the inmates, he began barnstorming the country, just as Brian published his first free energy book.
    • I was at the end of my rope with my job in the trucking industry, even went on Prozac for a few months, and Dennis coaxed me into coming back to work with him. I wrote my first website just before joining him, but I was really in no shape to rejoin him.
    • In 1996, Dennis was in full “patriot,” Christian, and businessman’s mode. I really didn’t see that we had much of a chance, and the sharks circled again.
    • Mercifully, my ride with Dennis that time was short, he allowed me to move back home to Seattle, and I have yet to leave. I then began working full-time for several years on what became my website today.
    • Soon after completing my site, Brian coaxed me into helping him launch another free energy effort. This one was a non-profit attempt to raise free energy awareness.
    • We began to plan a conference, the first speaker who committed for the conference was murdered a few days later, and Brian immediately began planning his move to South America, where he spent the rest of his life.
    • Brian was soon kicked out of the organization that he founded by other board members, and all in all, the effort was another failure.
    • My studies continued, during my monster of a midlife crisis, which finally ended when Dennis arrived at my home to invite me to the White House.
    • When my midlife crisis finally ended after more than six years of agony, I began the study that resulted in my big essay, and Brian came back into my life.
    • The effort that Dennis tried to coax me into took me back more than 30 years, as he tried to wring more energy out of a gallon of gasoline. David Rockefeller got involved, Dennis was soon banned from the energy industry in the USA, and the officials and media performed their usual deceptions.
    • I thanked my lucky stars that I did not take up Dennis on his offer, when I saw the final attacks on his effort, and I kept up with my own studies and writing.
    • I came to understand, back in Ventura, that the conspiratorial aspects of free energy suppression were relatively minor. Once again, the enemy was us, and organized suppression is at least 90% structural, of people’s just doing their jobs, not really on it, and when they got Dennis in a headlock, his associates were then able to steal Dennis’s companies from him, while provocateurs were in the mix (1, 2).
    • My effort has long been focused on combined positive intention and helping my readers gain a comprehensive perspective. Americans have not been my target audience since 2004, partly because they are history’s most brainwashed population.
    • If enough people achieve the required level of awareness and understanding and form what I have called a “choir,” organized suppression will not be effective, and bringing free energy to the public, which will form the foundation of the new Epoch, will be easy.

    That is the evolution of my awareness and how I arrived at my current approach, in a nutshell. I think about my approach every day, as I juggle my life and become an old man. An essay update, likely book, and other efforts are in my future. I might have another 30 good years in me, and we’ll see how it goes, but humanity might not have another 30 years on the current trajectory. The race between education and catastrophe continues.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    This will be a little empire and media post. Last night, I was reading a chapter of Ed’s first posthumous book, on what an imperial tool Human Rights Watch is (here it is). Ed wrote plenty about them before, but that chapter was the most extensive that I had seen Ed write on the subject. In that chapter, Ed again wrote that after World War II and the Nuremberg trials, aggressive invasion of other nations was defined as the supreme international crime and the greatest violation of human rights, and the USA formulated that definition.

    But Human Rights Watch, and to a lesser extent, Amnesty International, adopted a “human rights” definition that not only omitted that greatest of human rights violations from their framework, but they actively supported American invasions of the USA’s target nations, such as Yugoslavia and Iraq. They turned the human rights issue upside-down, as they focused on what bad leaders those target nations had, to justify invading them for “humanitarian” reasons, to enact regime change. In summary, those so-called human rights organizations actually support the world’s greatest human rights violations, for “humanitarian” reasons. It is just another Orwellism, which the West excels at. It would be like if they cheered for Hitler’s invasion of Poland, for “humanitarian” reasons, and their “human rights” focus was on what crimes the Polish leadership might have committed in response to the German invasion. They did exactly that when Rwanda was invaded, which began the greatest genocide since the USA’s multiple genocides. Actual genocide does not seem to be a human rights violation, in the lexicon of those “human rights” groups.

    One of my awakening moments was when I received a plea from Amnesty International to help them campaign to have Milosevic delivered to the Hague tribunal, which was a kangaroo court. I asked Ed about it, and he agreed how scandalous it was. I stopped donating to Amnesty International after that. I also stopped subscribing to a “liberal” newsletter that lauded the American invasion of Yugoslavia as a “just war.” In my experience, so-called “liberals” are simply imperialists with humane rhetoric. They are arguably more dangerous than unapologetic imperialists, as they help cloak the deadly affair in a “liberal” and “humanitarian” disguise. As Ed wrote, the hypocrisy is so far off the scale that he had to come up with a new term to describe it.

    This morning, I was reading a Washington Post article on Syria. There is not a word in it that the so-called Syrian Civil War is just another “regime change” war, as Tulsi Gabbard calls it. And here is Washington Post, calling Gabbard unfit for the presidency, because she does not embrace the “humanitarian” party line on Syria. Syria is just the latest nation on the USA’s imperial hit list. In ways, it is refreshing to see Trump admit that it is all about the oil, which earned him high praise from Assad, as the USA’s best president, for his transparency. It has always been all about the oil in that part of the world, ever since the British Navy converted from coal to oil on the eve of World War I, and the fate of the Middle East was sealed.

    But the USA is not an empire; it is the world’s leader for promoting freedom, human rights, and humanitarian intervention, and a worthy successor to Nazi Germany, as it attacks and invades nation after nation, destroying them (or using puppets such as NATO). Noam and Ed wrote several books on this issue long ago, and Noam has been the world’s leading intellectual for more than the past 50 years. History will judge the USA harshly, putting it in the same company as Nazi Germany, the British Empire, and Rome, as just one more genocidal empire. If you were a member of the imperial class, life could be good, but if you were an imperial target, life was not so good. Ed’s work is as relevant as ever.

    Best,

    Hi:

    As an addendum to my recent post, which was a little summary of the evolution of my awareness, I acknowledge the conspiratorial features of the global system, but they are minor aspects of how our world works. Vastly more important is how the rest of humanity, that 99.999% of it, acts. To focus on the GCs and friends as the root of our problems is delusional, paranoid, and thinking like a victim (which is a human specialty ), and something that the Right has a predilection for.

    It is seductive to think that all we have to do is take care of a few “bad actors” and all is well. We are all responsible for this state of affairs, not just the global elite, although they certainly punch above their weight. But to pretend that they don’t exist or are actively mischievous is also delusional (which the Left specializes in).

    We have to think and act like creators to extract ourselves from this mess, and creators create with love. That mentality denies nothing and acknowledges all.

    Happy 2020,

    Hi:

    As an addendum to my addendum, none of my fellow travelers began their journeys as conspiracists or believers in the GCs. It was only after repeated clobberings that we began to awaken to the idea that there might be a method to the madness of the attacks on us. And when you begin playing at the high levels, the wizard can come out from behind the curtain for a moment (1, 2).

    Getting those phone calls in the night, the friendly buyout offer, and the like were just hints that higher powers were at work. They are real, they are vigilant, and lone ranger free energy inventors are easily dealt with, one at a time, and the “lucky” ones will receive the golden handcuffs, while the not so lucky will have their lives shortened and suffer other outrages (1, 2). But my greatest lessons were not that the GCs existed and were vigilant, but that the rest of humanity was their unwitting accomplice, as we helped them slit our own throats.

    The GCs are a very real hazard for those playing in the high road, but a choir has never been heard before on Earth, and I believe that its “harmonic effects” would be unstoppable. The GCs prefer to hide in the shadows, and they can slink away with my blessings when their time has come.

    Happy 2020,

    Hi:

    The global rackets are all similar in ways, as they all have ill-gotten wealth, secrecy, power, and control in common, while the racketeering methods can differ in subtle ways between them (and violence is typical, but more of a last resort than the first one). Organized suppression is a standard feature of keeping the rackets intact, but most of the actual suppression is structural in nature. The conspiratorial/structural aspects of the rackets, and the debates around them, are similar to the rich/lean debate over animal behavior and cognition.

    I will now present some examples in the medical and energy rackets, of how it works, and how most of the suppression is structural, as racket-threatening innovations find themselves in Catch-22s. Dennis and Sparky thought that they would get tickertape parades (1, 2) for delivering the energy innovations that the energy establishment said that it seeks. Of course, the opposite happened. The sitting president’s energy advisor was one of Dennis’s fans, but his support meant nothing when David Rockefeller and friends got involved, and Dennis was run out of the USA under the Obama administration, with the usual lies and deceptions that I am so familiar with. But Dennis’s so-called “allies” in the field are just as bad (lying about Dennis when they aren’t trying to steal his companies), as are the “skeptics,” etc., which are only more examples of my journey’s primary lesson. Whether they are free-lance liars and criminals (and many are public officials – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 – and members of the media 1, 2, 3) or paid provocateurs (1, 2) is relatively unimportant, as they all act the same.

    Only one alternative cancer treatment has ever been subjected to the kind of testing in the USA that might allow it to become an approved treatment. The father of American medicine warned against just such an approval racket forming, and he was prophetic. The tested treatment was laetrile, and the trial was rigged from the outset. When one of the world’s leading cancer researchers, working at the world’s leading cancer institute, obtained positive results with laetrile, his employers suppressed the findings and fired the employees who called a press conference to announce the positive findings that were suppressed. How much of that was conspiratorial and how much was just CYA activity can be debated, and one of the fired employees has long been vocal against a conspiratorial explanation. He prefers a structural explanation.

    Berkley Bedell passed away earlier this month at age 98, a ripe old age, to be sure. About 30 years ago, Bedell got prostate cancer, had it treated conventionally, and when it returned, he visited Gaston Naessens, injected himself with Naessens’s treatment, and the cancer vanished and never returned. Bedell was able to get an office of alternative medicine founded at the NIH. Here is one of those “quack-hunter” guys, predictably raking Bedell over the coals. When an American began to jump through the FDA’s hoops to make Naessens’s treatment legal in the USA, he soon found himself in prison.

    Mr. Professor was “impossibly” cured of his gangrene by a similar “goat” treatment to the cow treatment that that “quack-busting” writer disparaged as a scam. He had to go to Mexico to get the treatment, where the facility had not yet been wiped out by kidnapping the director, which also happened to the man who cured Brian of skin cancer. Not even Hitler got way with behavior like that, but the FDA does.

    When Bedell was a Congressman, he badgered the Department of Energy (“DOE”) enough so that they sent several DOE employees, with Geiger counters in hand, to observe Yull Brown’s experiment in which he “impossibly” neutralized radioactive material. They witnessed the experiment in which more than 95% of the radioactivity vanished. Instead of pursuing those incredible results, the DOE personnel tried to get Yull’s operation shut down and turned logical summersaults and backflips to explain away the experimental results, and ran away as fast as they could, shrieking and tearing their hair.

    A decade later, Dennis and I spoke at DOE hearings about the USA’s radioactive waste problem, and proposed Brown’s Gas as a solution. After the morning hearings, the DOE official who ran the hearings followed us to the parking lot and admitted to us that nuclear waste management was a racket. But he promised to do what he could, and soon after our day at the DOE hearings, we got a call from the DOE, as some clerk went through the motions. You can see the DOE’s official response, here. The bottom line was that there were no peer-reviewed scientific papers on Yull’s process, so the DOE could not pursue it. Well, if those DOE personnel had pursued Yull’s experimental results instead of fraudulently try to dismiss them, maybe there would have been peer-reviewed scientific papers published. It was very ironic to have the DOE use the lack of peer-review literature to dismiss us, when their own personnel should have produced it.

    So, the conspiratorial and structural aspects of organized suppression interact with each other, and are both facets of the phenomenon.

    Happy 2020,

    Hi:

    To my previous post, average Americans would have their heads explode if they read it, which is why I keep writing that my work is not for the sleeping. People have to come to me already awakened in some way. Otherwise, the fight or flight response rears its head, as people react in fear. I have seen it all over the past 50 years, ever since my father “impossibly” reversed the hardening of his arteries.

    Those whose minds are neatly tied with the bow of their conditioning are not my target audience, and Americans in particular. I have watched them embrace certain death over question their conditioning, which was amazing to witness at first, but I now know that it is normal. They react similarly to the reality of free energy and its organized suppression, and anything that flies in the face of official pronouncements.

    I long ago realized that I seek needles in haystacks, but they are out there, and enough of them to make my effort feasible.

    Happy 2020,

    Hi:

    I am doing some housekeeping duties to prepare for the new year. I just had a nice conversation with Mr. Professor’s widow, for the first time that we had talked in years. It has been a couple of years since I talked with Dennis.

    Brian’s site might be gone. I have offered to host it when I saw it going down, but my offer was not accepted. It has come and gone since he died, and it has been awhile since I have seen it up. It is tiring to have my links to his site be dead, so I reproduced two parts of it on my site:

    There was a lot of Brian’s site that I am sad will not survive if this is a permanent issue, such as the antics of Lapis Pig.

    On the essay update front, more chaos than usual descended on the company where I work, which got really bad in the past month, as well as other mayhem in my life, which has set me back. I have to try to wall off all of the distractions and get my work done.

    I just put away Ed’s posthumous book and a Noam book, and a pile of other books and magazines, so that I can bear down and get it done.

    Happy 2020,

    Hi:

    As 2020 is about to begin, there is reason for optimism, but it is also kind of surreal for me. I see articles like this on the promise and perils of automation, and in some corners, there is discussion of post-scarcity and post-capitalist societies, but the energy issue is rarely discussed, and never in free energy terms. It is all about AI and robotic production, and maybe solar panels in space. Maybe a shorter workweek, and a few other benefits, but the environmental emergency that we are in is rarely discussed in those circles.

    That is all a very far cry from the Fifth Epoch. The promise of the Fifth Epoch, as well as the global racketeering, are two sides of the same coin, as far as the inability to even imagine them reflects how stunted those mainstream visions are. So, in ways, it is nice to see some of that “visionary” work being done, but on the other, it is whitebread stuff not far removed from what the mainstream media vends.

    People have to be awakened and develop a radicalized perspective to be useful for the effort that I have in mind. Otherwise, they are trapped in bland conventionality and their visions are mere extensions of a few obvious trends, but which fail to acknowledge key aspects of how our world really works. If people don’t understand how the world really works, their prescriptions for change won’t be very useful.

    Happy 2020,

    Hi:

    On this New Year’s Eve, I am going to take stock of the past decade, the past year, and what 2020 may bring, in my life, my effort, and the world at large.

    The decade began with Dennis’s being banned from the energy industry in the USA, soon after David Rockefeller got involved. Uncle Howard died at the beginning of this decade, and Brian died the next year, which was the same year that I began engaging the public again through Bill’s Avalon forum. I have been at it almost nine years and am still going strong, as Bill and friends keep the trolls and other assailants at bay, and I have met quite a few allies this way.

    I joined some other forums, and the admins attacked me after the trolls did (1, 2). The most common troll ammo used against me is when they repeat the Big Lies about Dennis in cyberspace, and then tar me with the same brush. And then the admins, of all people, would threaten and attack me, and even erase my work. With admins like that, the trolls can rest easy. My experience with trying to improve Ed’s Wikipedia bio is a relatively mild version of that dynamic. The Internet increasingly resembles a sewer and disinformation mill, instead of a medium for the free exchange of ideas and information, but I am not giving up just yet.

    I am the last man standing from my circle, and a couple of years after Brian’s death, I took a sabbatical to write what will be my lifetime’s magnum opus. I lost my job because of it, and had other disasters befall me as I wrote it, but no regrets. I am doing my best to make hay with the years I have left, and maybe I’ll get in 30 more good ones like Ed did. We’ll see about that. To a degree, I am carrying the torch of my fallen friends, saints that they were.

    Ed finally cashed in his chips at age 92, going strong to the end, and Noam is still at it, at 91. Retail politics holds little interest for me, but as an American, it is hard to escape it. That said, Trump is actually less imperial than his predecessors (although Operation Condor seems to have been revived, and it was pretty funny when Assad called Trump the best American president ever, when Trump essentially said, “It is all about the oil,” which American presidents and pundits could never seem to admit), and that has the USA’s retail political regime up in arms. In fact, Trump’s relatively congenial stance toward Russia was Hillary’s point of attack, and she sounded just like Joe McCarthy when I tuned in to one of debates, for the first time since the Perot debates, for its entertainment value. Hillary might have started World War III by now.

    I truly can’t keep track of all of the mass shootings in the USA today, in our gun-crazed nation, and the shooters are increasingly picking soft targets such as schools, churches, and malls, and just yesterday, I read that all American churches should have armed security, to protect against such rampages. I live in truly insane times. The world’s central banks have been printing money like confetti for the past decade, and it will all come crashing down. The only question is when.

    This year was a challenging one on a personal level, as I struggled to keep my health during chaos at my day job and family turmoil, although I have no contact with my immediate family, as one of the many prices of my journey. I hope to get on top of the health issue in 2020. Consequently, I did not make the progress that I wanted to on my essay update, but I have been recently doing a lot of housekeeping chores and clearing the decks of distractions, so that I can bear down and get it done and likely follow it with a book, if all goes well. That is some years out, and if I can do it all by the time I reach 65, that works for me, but I hope to get the essay update done in 2020, and I have a lot to do. If all goes well, my forum posts will mainly be drafts of the essay update, and the next several months will be a hurricane in my day job.

    Meanwhile, Earth is inexorably warming by burning the fossil fuels that power our industrial age, the coral reefs are dying at their fastest rate in Earth’s history, by far, we are fast heading toward the abyss, and humanity is in denial, not just about the problems of our own making, but the solutions, too. It is a surreal situation for me.

    So, a new decade begins, with many ominous trends in play, but I am going to do what I can to make a dent, looking for those needles and building my beacon, so that they can find me. And together, we’ll see what happens.

    Happy 2020,

    Welcome to the twenties:

    As I start revising the scientific and historical chapters of the human journey, I am going to cut to the chase and summarize my views. They really have not changed much since I first published my big essay back in 2014. In short:
    • But the evolution that really mattered for humanity was completed by 50,000 years ago, when behaviorally modern humans conquered Earth. All humans today are behaviorally modern, with far more in common than differences. Different skin colors reflect evolutionary adaptation from the dispersal of humans into diverse environments, and some other changes, such as lactose tolerance among herder societies, but they are all pretty minor changes. The human brain is about 10% smaller than it was 30,000 years ago, but it probably does not mean that humans are less intelligent than they were back then, but it probably reflects further evolution down the domestication path, as humans are less robust than they used to be, as we have become more tool-reliant.
    • Humans are also social animals, and many features of our societies reflect that heritage. Some is baked pretty deeply into the human animal, such as smiling, a fear of strangers, the need for human contact, and many other traits, but many features of our societies reflect the Epochal stage of human development, and that has been energetic and cultural, not evolutionary, for the past 50,000 years, which have always rested on humanity’s energy practices.
    • Many cultural features have deep evolutionary roots, but they are also not carved into stone. Infanticide is nearly a universal trait of primates, and continues to this day in some agrarian societies, but it has died out in industrial societies. The scarcity that drove that practice has ended in industrial societies. Slavery was normal in agrarian societies but seen as evil in industrial ones, but that change was purely economic, as the rise of machines made brute human labor obsolete.

    Nearly the entire point of my work is to argue that many grim aspects of human societies and the human condition will vanish when scarcity and fear are no longer the background hum of our world. It took me many years to finally understand the denial and fear that accompanies even mentioning free energy and the Fifth Epoch. The people that react that way can’t even imagine what is coming, and that is normal. The technology that will usher in the Fifth Epoch is older than I am, but is kept sequestered from humanity in history’s greatest cover-up, and I can hardly find a person on Earth who has reached a productive understanding of those issues or is willing to try, but those are the people I seek, and I long ago understood what they would have in common.

    All of the indifference, denial, fear, naysaying, armchair “skepticism,” trolling, and attacks that I have encountered over the years are just people’s being stuck in their Epochs, as they revere the ideologies that feed them and have been unable or unwilling to rise above their egocentrism. I finally understand them and don’t engage them if I can avoid it. I know that I seek very rare people on Earth today, and I relinquished any judgment of the situation long ago. It is just where the vast majority of humanity is today in their lives of quiet desperation.

    The people I seek will raise their awareness beyond the negativity, the arguments on behalf of scarcity and the rest of the forces of inertia, and dare to imagine something different. They will come to understand that there are no valid evolutionary or “spiritual” reasons for thinking that with free energy, humanity would simply invent more ways to exploit each other, strip-mine the planet, and have planet-destroying wars. The evidence does not really support those views, IMO, and the masses will not begin to understand until the Fifth Epoch arrives. It has been that way for all previous Epochs, and I don’t see why it will be different this time. But a relative few of us can overcome humanity’s inertia and the organized suppression and usher in an unprecedented super-Epoch of abundance. I think that it is worth trying to find out if humanity can grow up and finally become a truly sentient species. It beats watching TV.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    We’ll see what the next year and decade will bring, and it won’t be dull. I probably can’t overemphasize the role that energy will play. The GCs know that it is the ballgame, although most of humanity is oblivious to that idea. When you are on the receiving end of organized suppression, the stakes of the game begin to become clear. Humanity has its toes over the edge of the abyss, and the GCs have their survival enclaves ready, in case it gets “rough,” but the rest of us are not so fortunate.

    This is our home, and there is nothing else inhabitable for light years in every direction. Can we right the ship in time? That is something that each one of us will have to answer for. There is no escaping our responsibility, and learning to accept our responsibility is arguably the most important lesson that we can learn in physical reality. We all have a hand in the state of affairs today, which also means that we can all do something about it. Do we hack at branches, or go for the root? It all begins in the heart.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    Well, that didn’t take long. We’ll see if the assassination of an Iranian general begins World War III or not. The situation is insane on so many levels. As Noam once said, the only way that American actions and punditry make any sense is if people assume that the USA owns the world. It was on display with Venezuela recently, and that this latest assassination happened in Iraq is rich in irony, not to mention ominous.

    After more than a decade of genocidal sanctions, the USA invaded Iraq under laughably false pretenses. Hitler had more excuse for invading Poland than the USA did for invading Iraq. As Ed often wrote about, at Nuremberg, the USA defined the supreme international crime as aggressive invasion of another nation, but the USA does it at will, and Ed had to come up with a new term for the USA’s actions and the punditry that justified it: chutzpah. Ed wrote that “hypocrisy” no longer was adequate to describe it.

    Ever since the USA overthrew the Iranian government on behalf of the oil companies in 1953, the Iranian people have had a rough ride. Ed called Obama’s decision to negotiate with Iran instead of attack it his finest hour as president. What Trump just authorized, on the heels of abrogating Obama’s nuclear treaty with Iran, is not one of Trump’s finest moments. Trump has never been a dove, not even with Russia, as American presidents can’t afford to be, as they play the face of an empire. Carter, that peace-making and “human rights” saint, presided over the greatest proportional genocide since World War II, and he provided more weapons to Indonesia as it literally ran out of bullets during its genocidal invasion and occupation of East Timor.

    On a related note, I have not read any of Robert Fisk’s work in years, but I just saw this, which is timely on the scandal over the “chemical weapons attack” by Syria that never happened.

    Best,

    Wade

    Tyrannosaurus rex juvenile have a different ecosystem effects than adults. This is similar to sharks where juvenile sharks grow up in mangroves, not in the ocean, where they act as big predators in the relatively small mangroves. Tyrannosaurus rex juvenile grow fast and slow depending on food availability.

    Thanks Krishna:

    I have been seeing this a bit over the years, as what have been called different species are being reinterpreted as adults and juveniles or males and females. What is amazing is how much more sophisticated the tools and techniques have gotten. Back in the 1990s, I read Women in Prehistory and other similar books. In one of them, the author remarked on how in the early days of archeological digs, the gender status of the exhumed skeletons were often inferred by the grave goods. Archeology has come a long way since then. The idea of T-Rex Junior’s “earning his teeth” on easier fare than a triceratops makes perfect sense. He may have snacked on mammals.

    In Demonic Males is a chapter on how the early human line may have subsisted on roots as it left the rainforest (some chimps eat them today), and since Mr. Cooking Hypothesis is the lead author of Demonic Males, I am sure that Wrangham thinks that cooking roots goes back a couple million years or so. So, 170 KYA is not a very radical finding, but interesting.

    My take on the human journey and fire in the essay update will not change much from what I wrote back in 2014, but I would say that Wrangham’s cooking hypothesis has held up well, and as you have seen, the early control of fire is increasingly accepted among scientists (2-3 million years is commonly encountered now, as you well know), which is a far cry from a generation ago, when Wrangham was ridiculed for his hypothesis.

    IMO, fire was the biggest technological game changer in the human journey, and any society that mastered the control of fire would have never lost it, or would have likely gone extinct if it had.

    On those improving toolsets and techniques, we’ll see what the future brings on continuing research on the early control of fire. It is one of the more fascinating subjects that I have encountered, and the changes around the control of fire had to be very dramatic, and Wrangham’s idea that it may have led to the appearance of Homo erectus has merit, IMO. Homo erectus was a radical break in the human line, both anatomically and behaviorally, as they spread across Eurasia, which was a first since the Miocene apes.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    On the recent assassination of Iran’s military leader, what hardly any Americans know, because of the media’s propaganda barrage, is that the Lockerbie bombing was likely an Iranian operation, in revenge for the USA’s shooting down of an airliner (and giving a medal and hero’s homecoming to the commander who shot it down) several months earlier, but TPTB were eager to pin it on Libya, as it better served the day’s propaganda goals.

    So, Iran is very capable of hitting the USA where it hurts, and we’ll see how events unfold, especially as the USA keeps up its murder operations and has inarguably started a war, Trump’s protestations notwithstanding.

    Fly safely, my friends,

    Wade

    Hi:

    As the USA gears up for war with Iran (which I saw predicted when we invaded Iraq), a little historical review is in order. Part of today’s Iran was part of the Fertile Crescent, where domestication and civilization began. The goat was domesticated in today’s Iran about 10,000 years ago, and the Karun River was one of the major waterways of early civilization. So, the people of that region have a long history with domestication and civilization.

    Persia was an early imperial power, fighting with Ancient Greece was a key event in the history of Persian civilization, and Cyrus the Great ended the Jewish Babylonian Exile. Zoroaster is one of history’s great religious figures, and his influence is clearly seen in the Judeo-Christian religions (the good/evil duality comes from him).

    Empires rose and fell in the region ever since the Akkadian Empire, and Persian empires were part of the dynamic. Persia was devastated by the Mongol Invasions, losing 90% of its population, several centuries after the Islamic conquest. A Persian dynasty several centuries ago converted Persia to the Shia branch of Islam.

    With the rise of Europe, the Persians and Ottomans gradually slipped into sleepy backwaters on the world scene, and were among the last places on Earth conquered by Europe. When Persia was finally conquered by Europe, it was under the neocolonial phase of American imperialism.

    Just as the fate of the Ottoman Empire was sealed when the British Navy converted from coal to oil in 1911, in 1908, what is today called British Petroleum was established in today’s Iran. Oil considerations have dominated all interactions between the West and the Middle East’s oil-rich nations for the past century.

    I’ll write a little bit more about it in my essay update, but the differences between agrarian and industrial economies are profound, just as the differences between agrarian and hunter-gather economies were. To the world’s non-industrial peoples over the past century, the benefits of industrialization were obvious and, for every nation that could, they tried to industrialize after World War II, when all imperial powers besides the USA were greatly weakened. The Soviet Union’s pitch to Third-World nations was “industrialize within a generation.” Well, for those with access to fossil fuels, it was feasible.

    So, as the world’s colonized people threw off the imperial shackles, they planned to industrialize. Iran had the oil, was sidelining the monarchy in favor of a democratic republic, in a process far less bloody than the American Revolution, and planned to nationalize their oil. The greatly weakened United Kingdom was not able to go out and reconquer the world, and they asked for the USA’s help in keeping the oil under Western ownership. In 1953, the USA overthrew Iran’s republic and reinstalled the monarchy. The British and French did something similar when it carved up the Ottoman Empire after World War I, although it invented monarchies in Syria and Iraq, for instance.

    The world’s religions are agrarian constructs and are partly a means of social control. When peoples industrialize, organized religion loses its sway. If Iran’s government had not been overthrown, Iran would be industrialized today and the Islamic church would be something like the Catholic Church is today in France, for instance, and Iran’s monarchy might look something like the British monarchy, as a curious, premodern relic, and a largely ceremonial institution. That Queen Elizabeth also runs the Church of England is fitting, as both hail from England’s agrarian past.

    The Dulles brothers were Rockefeller fixers for their entire careers, they ran the operation to overthrow Iran’s government, and American oil companies were the primary beneficiaries. Allen Dulles was the ringleader in the cover-up of JFK’s murder. JFK was just not imperial enough for the Eastern Oligarchy, and had to go.

    Economic hit man John Perkins was taught by his original handler that while the operation to overthrow Iran’s government was a great success, too many official CIA employees were involved, so covert action began to get privatized, and a close relative was one of those contract CIA agents used to keep the Fortune 500 in the chips, at the expense of the rest of humanity.

    During the Shah’s reign, Iran had the worst human rights record on Earth, according to Amnesty International. A former palace became a torture chamber, and every single progressive organization in Iran was slaughtered. The official line was the “communist conspiracy” fantasy, but, as usual, the communists were barely involved. It was all about keeping Iran safe for capitalism and a lucrative source of oil.

    The only non-royal institution allowed to survive under the Shah was the Islamic church, and that is why you see clerics running Iran today. We “advanced” Westerners often look askance at the theocracy in Iran, but we did it to them. The most secular Arab state was Iraq, and now look at it. It is so alienating to watch fat, comfy Westerners, who were beneficiaries of the bloodshed and exploitation, moralize about the failings of the nations in that part of the world. Their problems are largely of our making.

    Best,

    Wade
