WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Time for another vaccine post. This pandemic is stirring up plenty of issues, and the USA won’t be the same after this, nor will the world be the same. Back in 2013, Robert Kennedy, Jr., publicly stated that his father never believed the Warren Report’s conclusions, calling the report a “shoddy piece of craftsmanship.” If you ever read much of the Warren Report, you will see what he means. In the section where they try to provide Oswald’s motive, the report pretty much falls apart, with a particularly capricious chain of “logic.” A lot of people wanted JFK dead, and Allen Dulles, that Nazi lover who despised JFK and led the “investigation” into the murder of the man who fired him, was a Rockefeller fixer for his entire life. The conflicts of interest were staggering.

RFK Jr. has been campaigning against vaccination for a long time, and he is very vocal today on the issue, particularly on Bill Gates and the CDC, which RFK Jr. essentially calls a vaccine company, as he describes the stark conflicts of interest that it has, and how it has been captured by the biomedical industry. I have long stated that Bill Gates’s brand of “philanthropy” was very similar to John D. Rockefeller’s, as was the way that they both built their fortunes as ruthless monopolists, and it is more evident than ever these days.

In a recent article, James Kunstler finished with:


“American health care, as we call it today, and for all its high-tech miracles, has evolved into one of the most atrocious rackets the world has ever seen. By racket, I mean an enterprise organized explicitly to make money dishonestly.”


Amen.

Kunstler, unfortunately, is a Peak Oiler. By “unfortunately,” I don’t mean that Peak Oilers are wrong about Peak Oil. Peak Oil is an irrefutable concept, and Peak Oil was reached globally around 2006, and we are today sucking the dregs of Earth’s hydrocarbon deposits, with environmentally catastrophic practices such as fracking and committing genocide and other atrocities to control the world’s last easy oil. And, just as how American pundits could not seem to see the American-inflicted genocides in Southeast Asia or Iraq as anything other than noble causes gone awry, as perhaps mistakes and accidents, when I last looked several years ago, I could hardly find a pundit who could seem to connect oil with the USA’s invasion of Iraq. As Noam has written plenty, intellectuals have to work hard to be that blind and stupid.

The problem with Peak Oilers is that free energy is completely absent from their universe of the possible, or treated like the enemy, incredibly. I first saw that with Richard Heinberg, the first Peak Oiler that I encountered, who semi-ridiculed free energy before dismissing it and beating the drums of austerity ever since, and the “overshoot” mention in Kunstler’s article is also a key tenet of the Peak Oilers. I have never gotten through to a Peak Oiler, as they all beat the drums of doom, while the solution to our predicament has been on the planet for longer than I have been.

So, RFK Jr. gets props for standing up to Gates and the CDC. We had an encounter with his brother that was less satisfying, and I have a few connections to the Kennedys, including working for them.

In the Fifth Epoch, everybody will live happily and healthily to a hundred or more, and what passes for “medicine” today won’t exist. There are medical technologies extant that are as “magical” as free energy and antigravity would seem to today’s public, and they are kept under wraps by the same people for the same reasons.

Best,

Hi:

All of this life at home gives me time to reflect, and I was recently thinking about my days in Boston with Dennis, and what my motivation was when I became his partner. It was roughly in this ranking:

• The chance to change humanity’s energy paradigm, in ways that I barely imagined at the time, and heal Earth at the same time; 
• The rehabilitation of Mr. Mentor;
• Doing it with somebody like Dennis, and I have not heard of another like him on Earth;
• Taking my friends and family with me (my investors and shareholders, to a healed planet, and fame and fortune would come with the deal (which initially challenged my ego, before I was rudely brought back to Earth));
• I had a pretty good idea that I was risking my life, and a certain strain accompanies that realization; I did not want to waste my life, so I wanted to see if we could make a dent by using Dennis’s approach.

But, when I became Dennis’s partner, I was also completely ignorant of these ideas:
 

• That there was a free energy field (I had not even heard of Tesla at that time);
• That free energy technology was older than I am;
• That something like the Global Controllers even existed, although I imagined that some powerful interests would not be happy with what we were doing (I had that understanding when I was 16);
• That smoke-filled rooms in New England were discussing what to do about us;
• How the media actually operated;
• What actually motivated my friends and family, and learning that was arguably the greatest lesson of my journey; I saw it with countless thousands of others, too, but when it literally hit home in my life, it “seated” that lesson like nothing else could.

There is a lot more to write, and we’ll see if I pursue this line of reflection much more. I will follow this with a post on how the learning curve works in this milieu. It can be a very slow learning process (the fast way can shorten your life), in which bits and pieces come to you over many years, and you eventually see how they fit together, as the mosaic is built. But, you first have to be awakened, or else you will never understand how they fit together.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

In Gary’s book, he discussed how it could take many years before what he encountered began coming into focus. His police and detective work would stumble on various facts and situations, but how they all connected could take years to become clear. That is not to say that all perceived connections are valid, or that the picture that comes into view is necessarily the “correct” one. Science works that way, too, as data is amassed, which becomes the basis for novel hypotheses, which can be tested against new data. That is ideally how science works.

Some pieces of data could be highly impressive and virtually irrefutable in the dynamics that they illuminated, while others could be more contestable, as far as their validity and implications. Historians work similarly, when they are not corrupted by their socialization.

I had similar experiences on my journey. Some issues, I am certain of, while for others, my jury can still be out, and my conclusions more tentative. Some issues are far more important than others, and nothing trumps the energy issue.

When we got the friendly buyout offer a few months after I became Dennis’s partner, I had no idea what we had just received, and it would take another decade to realize that there was such a thing as the Global Controllers, and that we had received a typical offer. When Dennis received his final offer, before they lowered the boom on us, I did not even hear about it until nearly a decade later, when I heard Dennis speak publicly about it and he wrote about it in The Alternative.

It took nearly another decade, and I heard pals discuss offers that they were aware of (Ron Waugh and Joe Starr), when I heard Greer discuss the $100 billion in quiet money that had been spent, that the offers to Dennis made perfect sense. They may have spent $250 billion by now, and much more to keep their global surveillance and covert action activities going. So, it took 17 years from the first offer until I understood the big picture of what we encountered, and I became aware of the spooks long before I met Dennis, and was nearly recruited by them.

When I heard Tom Bearden discuss his adventures in free energy, it took another decade for me to realize that we were targeted by a very similar operation to the one that almost nabbed him.

These ideas you can take to the bank:

• All people have what are called paranormal abilities, even if they are dormant in most of us, in our materialistic age;
• We are not alone in the universe;
• Free energy, antigravity, and a host of related technologies have been on Earth for a very long time;
• There is a global power structure that manages the human herd, helping keep us mired in scarcity and fear, so that we are easily manipulated and not a challenge to their hegemony; nearly all of us unthinkingly submit to their authority, making their job easy, and they rarely have to directly intervene.

That first one I learned in spectacular fashion when I was 16. I know it is the case, and nobody can take that knowledge from me, as it was built on dramatic and undeniable experiences. The second one I soon came to suspect, as I heard tales from those close to me before I ever met Dennis. I began studying the issue in the early 1990s, as I hit the books, my friend’s underground show happened during those years, and years later, I saw Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses describing the same technologies that my friend saw. When Brian told me of his brush with death after hosting a UFO conference, in an incident that shortened his life, I didn’t have much doubt left, if any, and then I subsequently went to see UFOs for myself and was never disappointed. The first encounter was spectacular, as I stood in a field with Boeing pals, an Air Force captain, and several others who regularly came for the show.

On that third one above, I may never be able to publicly discuss that event more than I have already, but let’s just say that those technologies are very real and likely older than I am, but the average cubicle dweller and Internet surfer is not going to be “invited” to a show like that. In my circle, that issue is considered common knowledge.

The last item above took me the longest to understand. They may have been involved in the Seattle experience, were definitely involved during our days in Boston, they unmasked themselves to a degree in Ventura, and it took many years of study, trading notes with people such as Brian and the like before that picture really began to come into focus. You don’t want to meet Godzilla, because if he comes to dinner, you are the dinner. He keeps at least half an eye on me today, as he has not forgotten about me. What I brought together in Ventura presented him with some interesting days in the office.

Those days with Dennis comprised by far my life’s steepest learning curve, and I have my youth and Boy Scout nature to thank for surviving the experience with my sanity intact. Others around me were not so fortunate. I have witnessed many wrecked and shortened lives on my journey, and do what I can to keep gung-ho newbies out of trouble. But, it is possible to reach the above understandings, to nearly the degree of certainty that I have, or even better, without risking one’s life. Sure, getting the underground technology show or being invited to and going to a nearby star system will remove all doubt, but not many of us get that opportunity.

Hi:

I recently finished Gaia Vince’s book, which is another energy-centric one, in the end, and I have resumed reading Howard T. Odum’s magnum opus. As with, Origins or Symphony in C, they are all variations on a theme, whether it is energy and cosmology, energy and physics/chemistry/geology, energy and evolution, energy and ecology, or energy and economy. Right now, I plan for Odum’s book to be the last one of these kinds of books that I read for the essay update. I have enough arrows in the quiver for that, and those books have a great deal of overlap, even though each has a slightly different emphasis, as Ian Morris’s work did, too, or Nick Lane’s, etc. Rather unsurprisingly, not one of them hinted at the Fifth Epoch, as they were all boxed in by conventionality, oblivious to the GCs’ existence, etc., which is normal. That is the problem with scholars and the scientifically trained, at least before they wake up, and very few ever do that. They nearly all become Level 3s, if they are aware of the idea of free energy at all.

Dennis, Brian, and I all began our journeys toward free energy during the USA’s first energy crisis, which ended the human journey’s greatest period of prosperity, and none of us could have imagined where we would end up. What Peak Oilers seem to nearly always miss is that Hubbert was not a prophet of doom, but saw Peak Oil as just one more energy peak, like peak wood or peak megafauna, and that industrial civilization would not collapse, but begin exploiting a new energy source (on its way to becoming a Type 1 civilization), and his reference in the 1950s was nuclear energy, as the USA was beating those nuclear swords into ploughshares.

As I get ready to go after the essay update in earnest, and then engage in more visibility work, including a likely book, I don’t have any illusions that I am going to be on Oprah’s or Ellen’s shows anytime soon. If I get any mainstream visibility, it will be smear campaigns, not far removed from how I saw Dennis smeared, from nearly the day that I met him, which continued unabated until he was finally run out of the USA, how Noam and Ed got smeared, and Ed to this day, posthumously, as Howard also has been. I am hunting for needles, and I have known that for many years. Humanity is not going to awaken with talk, books, and clever forum posts, and 99.9% of all activists hack at branches, at best.

Hi:

It is time for another vaccination post. I was planning on a wide-ranging one, and we’ll see how this goes. Every Saturday morning, I back up my site, and I also review my site traffic, as I do my backups. Google made some algorithm changes a year or so ago, and the traffic to my site is about 10% of what it used to be. But most of the traffic today, like back then, is bot and hacker traffic, so that is no great loss. What interests me the most is traffic from external links to my site, and my Avalon thread is by far the single greatest source of them, and as I write this, there are maybe 20 humans looking at my own forum, along with 200 bots and hackers. But, this morning, I saw a new link from a site that features a lot of my medical racket writings, and this new one was on bypass surgery, which comes from this chapter of my medical racket essay. I am happy to be quoted on that page.

The outright fraudulence of the bypass industry is virtually irrefutable, as there is no detectable increase in life expectancy, and a few percent (up to more than 10%, depending on who is performing the surgery) of the patients die during the surgery or immediately afterward.

Going back to when Louis Pasteur came up with his germ theory of disease, the evidence is strong that he was a shameless and unethical self-promoter, and the idea that a direction that biological science could have taken back then, but was suppressed, has a great deal of support for it, and various scientists independently stumbled into the same evidence in the 20^th century, including those using “impossible” microscopes (1, 2), and the libelous treatment that Ed’s irrefutable work has received at Wikipedia is gentle compared to how all alternative medicine is treated at Wikipedia. On health and issues with political-economic impact, Wikipedia is often worse than worthless, and is pure propaganda, and on the medical issue, is often written by sock-puppets of the medical racket.

I have written about the vagaries of vaccination for more than 20 years (I have not submitted to a vaccination since childhood), and when my friend Brent polled a dozen MDs when he took them hiking, he did not find one who believed in vaccination, and ten of them outright refused to give vaccinations. It is very similar to the fluoridation issue, in which half of all dentists did not believe in fluoridation in the 1950s, when it was made compulsory “medicine,” but few dared speak out against the propaganda steamroller, and fluoride is in my tap water today. It is undeniably a highly toxic industrial waste that got a makeover into “medicine” by scientists who worked directly and indirectly for fluoride polluters, and that “medicine” causes brain damage, among other effects, but I doubt that I will live to see Establishment medicine admit it and stop adding toxic waste to my water supply.

I see vaccination in a similar light. Sherri Tenpenny is one of the few doctors willing to speak out against vaccination, and I have watched her get smeared for many years. But, there is also a huge tinfoil-hat conspiracist crowd that is also against vaccination, and I do what I can to steer clear of them. That said, in the current issue of Scientific American, I saw Flat-Earthers and anti-vaccination advocates mentioned in the same sentence, and that is the second time in the past year that I have seen Scientific American do that, and it is likely no coincidence that Scientific American has now openly partnered with biomedical companies that sponsor whole sections of Scientific American today, as they rhapsodize about the wonders of drugs, surgeries, vaccines, genetic tinkering, and other insults to human biology. That is what I want to call out in this post: awesome conflicts of interest, which are ignored as if they do not exist, for those that are not still secret. It is a close cousin to cleaning up the backgrounds of death camp Nazis, so that they could become American Space Race and Cold War heroes.

Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model is little more than a framework to understand the conflicts of interest in the media, which pretends that it does not have them. Absolutely staggering conflicts of interest pervade all areas of mainstream medical science, and the deadly conceit is that those conflicts don’t exist.

This brings me to the Bill Gates issue. I live across the street from Microsoft’s headquarters, and most people who live in the area have their Bill Gates stories, as I do. Oh my, the stories I could tell. You would not want him over for dinner, and his “philanthropy” is a close cousin to John Rockefeller’s. I am sorry, but I don’t buy the idea that ruthless capitalists suddenly grow big hearts once their bloodstained fortunes are built. “Rich philanthropist” is an oxymoron. Gates’s “humanitarian” stats are challenged in mainstream venues, not just the fringes, and if mandatory vaccination comes from his efforts on the coronavirus, I may see if I can get hired for the next mission to Mars. But I don’t know Gates’s mind, and personally doubt that he is in on some globalist conspiracy to enact a one-world dictatorship. Nothing would surprise me in that area, but conspiracists today are hyperventilating over it. They need to calm down. I’ll probably make another post on this subject.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

To continue on with vaccinations a little more, in all areas like this, getting at the truth is like walking through a minefield. As an example, here is RFK, Jr.’s defense of himself against CNN’s propaganda, on the heels of his taking on the Bill Gates agenda. CNN has been an establishment propaganda mill for many years, as all of the mainstream media has long been. So, the mainstream will never deal honestly with the information, as it parrots the biomedical party line, but also, RFK’s conservative critiques become grist for the conspiracist mill, who take RFK’s writings, for instance, and use them to spin wild yarns about how Gates is a witting participant in depopulating the planet, putting chips in everybody, and the rest of the conspiracist fare. Then the debunkers leap into the fray and rightfully show how the wild conspiracist yarns have little or no evidentiary support for them, and RFK ends up getting smeared in the process, as both sides fight over a misrepresentation of his views. I have seen this too many times over the years, such as with the JFK hit, UFOs, 9/11, ad naseum. To reiterate my positions on those subjects:

• Vaccination, and the entire theory behind it, is a very mixed bag, and vaccinations may well do more harm than good, if any good at all;
• JFK was definitely not killed by Lone Nut Oswald, the CIA was deeply involved in the cover-up (if not the assassination itself), led by Allen Dulles, that patron of Nazi war criminals, and if I had to try to finger the assassins, I put my money on the Rockefeller side of the house;
• We are not alone in the universe, and when Brian O put on a UFO conference, the military made him an “offer” to do classified UFO work, and he nearly died immediately after rejecting their offer, in an incident which shortened his life, which was partly why Brian was so prominent in Greer’s Disclosure Project efforts;
• The official story of the 9/11 terror attacks, as usual, has plenty of problems with it, and has even been admitted by 9/11 commissioners themselves.

The official stories on subjects such as those are nearly always a collection of lies and deceptions, and deserve extreme skepticism, but conspiracists really muddy the waters with their wild tangents that have virtually no support for them. If you play on the high road, if you survive the experience for long, you will see that there are events and perpetrators that do align with some of the most crazed conspiracy-mongering, but it happens almost by accident, as the conspiracists mix insane and paranoid speculation into the issue, and what comes out usually has only a faint resemblance to reality and serves to help discredit all of it. That is the problem with conspiracists. Rodney Stich was constantly fending off conspiracists. Stich dealt in evidence, not wild speculation, and frequently found himself in the position of debunking wild conspiracist fantasies, but some of what he debunked may well have been legit. It was sad to see him get dragged into stuff like that. Somebody like a Stich, who goes deep but sticks to the evidence and conservative interpretations of it, is rare, and that is why people like him get kangarooed into prison by the CIA and friends.

I don’t know Gates’s mind, but my sense is that he is kind of trying, but not really all that hard. You still would not want him over for dinner. The attached photo op with Milken, Blair, and Kagame is stunning, and kind of says it all. Milken was the poster boy for the “greed is good” 1980s, Blair played Mussolini to Bush’s Hitler regarding the invasion of Iraq, which is the greatest crime of the 21^st century so far, Kagame is likely the greatest living mass murderer, and Gates sings their praises. None of that is GC-level activity, and the GCs likely see it as “the lads at play.” As long as Gates pals around with evil-minded people like that – “humanitarians” all – he can play the “philanthropy” game all he wants, as he will never become somebody who threatens the global order. I think that conspiracists give Gates way too much credit, and to the extent that he serves the GCs’ interests, it has likely been mostly unwitting, if not completely. Gates has to be naïve indeed if he does not suspect that far higher powers than him run the show on Earth. Sitting American presidents are little more than stooges, and ever since JFK, none of them had any illusions about how expendable they were. I have a hard time believing that all of those billionaire “philanthropists” and “visionaries” are completely oblivious to how low-ranking they really are. Maybe most of them really are that clueless, but I think that some or maybe even most at least suspect, and some are in on it, to some degree, playing their roles, but not really seeing the bigger picture, either. The hit men and women sicced on us never came close to seeing the bigger picture; they just did it for the paycheck, promotions, and egocentric strokes, and some were psychopaths.

The problem with conspiracists is that they have very little discernment. It takes a sharp tool and a lot of work to achieve that, and to the extent that their wild imaginings are accurate, it seems to be largely by accident. A stopped clock is right twice a day. As Noam said about Cambodia and the media, deliberately lying and being right by accident is not the same thing as telling the truth. Spinning wild yarns with almost no evidence, but aspects of the tall tales are true in some way, is not the same thing as pursuing the truth.

So, today, we have conspiracist overdrive on the coronavirus epidemic, media disinformation, government stonewalling, “philanthropists” and their unsavory agendas, and the rest of that circus. Good luck getting at the truth of what is happening. I am trying to stay out of that fray. As Greer recently stated, the entire coronavirus issue does not even deserve to exist, and I’ll add a big amen to that. I seek to help bring a world into being in which pandemics, poverty, pollution, and the like become distant memories of life on Earth before humanity finally woke up and got over the hump.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

In another forum…

As with my recent post on the coronavirus pandemic, the JFK hit will always be a touchstone of my work. I see it as part of a larger picture of the political-economic reality on Earth. I am merely “lucky” to have known somebody who knew a few weeks after the JFK hit that Oswald was anything but a lone assassin. I met him during my own larger-than-life adventures, as we pursued the biggest event in the human journey. His advice was crucial in helping my efforts, which resulted in the biggest miracle that I ever saw. I lived the events, and even I sometimes have a hard time believing that they happened.

The JFK hit was a watershed moment in American history. In my estimation, it was such a moment because it was a palace coup that took out a “good emperor,” and the facts behind his murder have been covered up ever since, with the complicity of the government, the media, and many others, while the citizens themselves remain unconvinced that a Lone Nut did it.

IMO, the JFK hit was a key event in the permanent demotion of the office of the presidency to much greater powers. I think that JFK was taken out by national rather than global interests, but if E. Howard Hunt’s statement to Doug Caddy was accurate, and I have little reason to think that it wasn’t, then the Global Controllers may have had an input into the situation, but I doubt that they were the drivers of it.

Every president since JFK, with perhaps the partial exception of the current occupant, had no illusions at whose pleasure they served – it sure wasn’t the public’s – and how expendable they were. Ever since JFK’s murder, David Rockefeller handpicked every president, and was still minding the store, well into his 90s. Other players have taken the reins, and the whole thing is for show, including billionaire “philanthropists” and “visionaries.” No important decisions are made in the public eye, and none of the visible players are anywhere near the top of Earth’s power structure. It does not work that way.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Writing about Bill Gates and friends is not what I like doing, nor does it have much to do with what I am attempting, other than to demonstrate that the elites are not part of the solution: they are part of the problem, and the GCs are the king of that hill. But, any free energy effort that makes the elites the focus, either as the potential saviors or the obstacle that needs to be overcome, will end in failure.

As Brian said, the effort has to be rooted in combined positive intention. It can’t be the complaint-based orientation of protestors. Chasing after “rich philanthropists,” the powerful, the “progressives” and the like are all supreme wastes of time and energy. I have seen it all over the years, and it can’t go after the masses, either, which flies in the face of what most “activists” are trying to do, but the masses will be useless for this undertaking. The orientation of the masses is serving their immediate self-interest, and that does not aim high enough for this Epochal task. I had to carry the spears for five such efforts before I was finally finished with that approach, as they all ended in disaster. Nearly every free energy newbie that I ever saw, including me, immediately tried to proselytize the “good news” of the coming of the Fifth Epoch to their social circles, which has always ended badly, and I nearly always hear tales of ostracism from those who try that route. Hardly anybody on Earth is fit for even imagining the Fifth Epoch, much less helping pursue it. Right now, all I am doing is helping the able and willing to imagine it. Until we can imagine it, we can’t really pursue it. This is not a task suited to stumbling around, groping toward some dimly perceived light in the darkness. A very clear vision is required, as well as worldliness and other attributes, to steer clear of catastrophe. Many paths to disaster beckon, while most newbies regard them like those hapless knights initially viewed the killer bunny.

The arrival of the Fifth Epoch will render elites obsolete. The GCs understand that very well, while the rest of the elites have a kind of instinctual understanding of it. But, really, their reactions are little different from anybody else’s. It does take much time or intelligence to begin to understand that I advocate the end of the world as we know it, and the universal responses, by well more than 99% of the population, for those not living in ignorance of the entire issue, are denial or fear, even though the technologies that make the Fifth Epoch feasible are older than I am.

My recent posts on vaccination merely point out that our “solutions” usually just create bigger and more insidious problems.

Free energy, and nothing else can do this, will wipe out capitalism, for starters. The greatest generator of wealth that the world has ever known, if a plan like mine succeeds, will be given away to humanity. Only when capitalism dies will the other rackets crumble, including the medical racket. In a world of scarcity and fear, those rackets are natural outcomes of how people act. In a world of abundance, they stop making sense, for both the racketeers and their victims. Nobody will see the sense in playing any longer, similar to how slavery went from a hallowed institution to an evil one when humanity began to industrialize.

When capitalism crumbles, all other scarcity-based ideologies will be right behind it, and the world as we know it will soon end. But, to make that happen will take an unprecedented act of integrity and sentience. Becoming scientifically literate is merely part of the curriculum of learning how to think comprehensively. Just as how literacy was only for elites and a tiny professional class in the Third Epoch but something that all children learn in the Fourth, all children will be scientifically literate in the Fifth Epoch. Psychic abilities will be normal in the Fifth Epoch, too, which all children will develop, similar to that heavenly Roads world. Love will reign, not fear, and only a loving approach has any chance at all of manifesting the Fifth Epoch.

Those understandings took many years, of life-risking, life-wrecking, and life-ending trial-and-error to achieve, as I came to finally understand who it would take to help make a dent. They need to:

• Care;
• Be awake;
• Use their heads;
• Do the work;
• Hit the notes.

For all of his “intelligence” and “philanthropy,” Bill Gates is not yet awake, nor are his buddies, and it all starts in the heart. His pals at the Milken-fest are all heading towards Max’s neighborhood when they finish their lives on Earth. I seek people who are heading in a different direction, and I have no illusions about how rare they are. I learned that one the hard way, and stopped judging it long ago. It is simply the reality of the world that we live in, and the masses will not begin to awaken to the Fifth Epoch until it arrives in their lives. Only then will they begin to awaken, not before.

As I stated recently, a valid soul choice is to never awaken while in physical reality, and digest all of the lessons of physical reality while on the astral plane. Souls who choose that will always follow the dictates of their socialization. Only those who choose love while incarnated will awaken, and the rest will sleepwalk through their lives. Even so, the sleepwalkers in the Third Epoch thought that slavery was great, but decry it as evil today. Their awareness did expand, although never from their initiative, but through how they were socialized and the material realities of the Epochs that they lived in.

I have written plenty about the racist and bigoted household that I was raised in, but I awoke and left it behind. In the Fifth Epoch, race itself will quickly end, so racism won’t even be possible, and nobody will see the point of it. So, even the sleepwalkers will find their awarenesses raised in the Fifth Epoch, but for those who choose to awaken, it will be a far easier undertaking than it is today. Awakening today is life-risking behavior, and I have witnessed many casualties of that process. I don’t seek to awaken the sleeping with my work, and compared to what Dennis, Mr. Professor, Brian, and others in my pantheon endured, I am really not asking for much at all.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

It can seem that I am cloistered at Avalon, not getting out there and doing the work of making free energy happen, but I am more than busy, always. I am not doing what Dennis and Brian did, and it was more than an honor to help, but I eventually had to go my own way and try to fill a gap that I saw in all efforts. You don’t see me joining other forums much, as when I do, the trolls swarm, and then gang up with the administrators, incredibly, to kick me out of the forums. We can get conspiratorial about that, but IMO, I was primarily running into integrity and sentience issues, although my “skeptical” stalker likely was on the payroll somehow. But I recently had a troll/admin attack in two forums that I posted in (1, 2), so this phenomenon is alive and well, and is even worse than it used to be. My Avalon experience is unique among my forum experiences, which is due to Bill and company, and even then, you can see attacks and stink bombs on my Avalon thread, and I have a bunch of unread PMs from assailants and others whom I have no interest in hearing from.

My own experiences with Dennis, trading notes with people such as Brian, writing to public figures, which began with Noam in 1992, before there was an Internet, and taking on all comers, with my email address on my site, from 1996 to 2002, nearly continually, gave me many thousands of interactions with the public, fellow travelers, public figures, and the like, and I was able to write my “layers of the free energy onion” off the top of my head in 2007, as it was based on thousands upon thousands of interactions. People don’t deserve to be just categorized and placed in buckets where they remain forever, but I can name that tune in about one note any longer. That stated, I give everybody a chance, and will approach people who I think might have what I seek, to at least some small degree, and I recently approached one of the many financial bloggers with some understanding of energy and economics. I have been doing that, on and off, since I first encountered Heinberg’s work in 2003, and I have never found anybody home.

At best, I’ll get “wake me up when you deliver free energy,” which is essentially what I got from that blogger recently. I receive silence most often, and when it isn’t that, it is the standard Level 3 fare of “the laws of physics” and “conspiracy theory” dismissals. So, what I got from that blogger was about the best that I ever received from that crowd.

Even with my pupils, it usually turns into a game of “Where are you stuck?” And I can’t really help them much in getting unstuck. I sometimes give homework to help them, but almost nobody wants to take their medicine, comfortable in their stuckness. I long ago stopped judging it, but I won’t waste too much time with the issue, either. With this latest blogger encounter, I “only” wasted a couple hours of my time, whereas 20 years ago, I might waste days of my time.

That blogger did not reply with silence or denial and fear: he just wanted to see free energy for himself, and then he would be interested. Who wouldn’t?

I am not going to “waste” all of that time with that blogger, but will reproduce part of my final email to him (with actual identities replacing my pseudonyms). Here it is:


By free energy, I mean energy that is non-polluting and abundant, effectively unlimited, and costs nothing to produce, other than the original equipment, which could likely be mass-produced cheaply. If we waxed scientific about it, you might call it the background energy of the universe, or coming from other dimensions. It has also been called zero-point field energy. Orthodox physicists might point to the Casimir effect, and then reply that that effect cannot be the source of so-called free energy. Einstein’s protégé, David Bohm, hypothesized that the so-called zero-point field was a source of inexhaustible energy.

There is a long rabbit hole that one could go down, on the theoretical end of it. Sparky Sweet had a prototype that my astronaut pal and Mr. Advisor watched operate, and while Sparky’s paper on the physics behind it could be called cryptic, his prototype put out a million times the energy than was measured to be put into it. Theory pales next to data. His gizmo is the one that I am most familiar with, but his is far from the only one. Sparky, and others like him, all had hell to pay when they tried to either develop their technologies to a commercial level, or just develop them at all. Sparky mailed out working prototypes to the leading energy institutions, expecting the tickertape parade, but the opposite happened. After his final death threats, my astronaut pal visited Sparky in his hiding place in the Mojave desert, the week before Sparky died of a “heart attack.” My astronaut pal also nearly died of a “heart attack” shortly after putting on a UFO conference, and military officials, whom he knew, tried to “recruit” him into classified UFO programs. When he refused their “offer,” he nearly died the next day, and the incident shortened his life.

I am familiar with too many stories like that, from my inner circle. There are not many of us, but we all have similar stories to tell. My former partner should be dead many times over, and refused the billion dollar bribe from the CIA to fold up our operation, and Mr. Mentor was the technical brains behind it. After he survived multiple attempts to kill him in the prison that he was kangarooed into, he got out of prison and immediately began barnstorming the USA, which attracted the sitting president’s ire.

In those days, a generation ago, one close friend in the field was kidnapped and given the underground technology show that had his eyes bugging out by the end of it, as free energy, anti-gravity, and many other technologies were demonstrated.

Bush the Second’s energy advisor was a fan of my former partner, and tried to arrange an eve-of-the-election demonstration of some of his more mundane technologies in 2006 (a Detroit auto company was involved), but David Rockefeller got involved (not our first run-ins with the Rockefellers), and my partner was soon permanently banned from the energy industry in the USA. That is a very short version, of a journey that I have been on for nearly 50 years, ever since Mr. Mentor’s engine created a bunch of hoopla in the federal government.

IMO, a dissident faction of the people who really run the world put on that underground technology show, as they planned to use my friend to bring those technologies to the public, when the time was right. Others have received similar shows, but that is a very select group of people, and surviving murder attempts is one of the qualifications to be “invited” to something like that. I don’t need to be kidnapped for a show like that. I accept that reality, which was common knowledge amongst my inner circle, but I am the last man standing from my circle, and I am becoming an old man.

FYI, while I have likely been under constant surveillance since the 1980s, you are not in any danger by trading emails with me. They just listen.


So I sent that, and I got back approximately, “Let me know when free energy is delivered to the public.”

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I want to be charitable toward financial bloggers, such as the one that I recently interacted with, and others who just can’t wrap their heads around the reality of free energy and its organized suppression, even Heinberg, and what the potential is. They seem sincere, even caring, but they just can’t get there, and don’t seem to want to. They understand the role of energy in their industrialized existence fairly well, but can’t escape the box of their Epoch’s conditioning, which is just so normal. If I could not even get Ed interested in it, even after offering to introduce him to Brian repeatedly, what chance am I going to have with financial bloggers? Or anybody? Amongst the Left, the best I ever got was the first, when I wrote to Noam in 1992, and soon got the polite brushoff, even though he was “tantalized” by what I sent him. Even the father of free software was firmly stuck.

However, they can be far less troubling to me than most who are actually interested in free energy and the Fifth Epoch, when I see them all rush out to make the beginner’s mistakes, which can be life-risking in this milieu.

The mass movement nut won’t be cracked for this, but I constantly see beginners try that route. That was my initial orientation with Dennis, so I am sympathetic. It is seductive to think that some kind of stampede can get the job done, or that the rich and powerful will cut the big checks or lend their heft to the issue, and before you know it, we are living in the Fifth Epoch, with a Muppet Movie ending. Oh, how I wish it were so. Believe me, I would be the first in line for that show, but it hasn’t worked out that way and very likely won’t. The quick and easy routes have all been tried, many times. Young Warriors have come and gone, and so on. This will have to get done in a different way.

What I have come up with will work, if enough people with the right stuff do the work, but that will be the hard part. I really am looking for freaks, people who live out of synch with the shuffling herd, those who dare to think for themselves, those who care about what this planet will look like in a century, after they are gone. But it will take an unprecedented act of integrity and sentience to achieve it, but for the biggest event in the human journey, that is fitting, even though not many are fit to even try.

That said, I am reading Odum’s magnum opus, and plenty of the ideas in it will make it into the essay update. Odum saw energy hierarchies, from how the universe works to how our solar system works to how Earth works to how life works to how societies work. One of his ideas is about how at the highest levels, relatively small energies, applied in just the right places, have enormous system effects, kind of like the reins on a horse or how a pilot steers an airliner. The analogy to the GCs was obvious to me, as I read along. They don’t have to micromanage the situation. They just need to control a few chokepoints, and the rest falls into place. It helps explain how their organized suppression is so effective. However, that also means that a relatively small effort, applied at the right place, can completely change the system’s state. To be fair to Odum, something that puts power directly in everybody’s hands, at levels scarcely imaginable today, in a very real way, makes much of his work inapplicable, as energy scarcity is his dominant framework. Free energy will shatter plenty of paradigms.

When I made that post this morning, I saw that the site that long hosted Sparky’s paper, which I linked to, and that site even featured my work, is down, maybe never to return, so I linked to a new place, and may need to host Sparky’s paper on my site. Brian’s site is also gone, probably never to return. Am I ever the last man standing in my circle.

My journey has been surreal in many ways, and one of the most amazing aspects of it is that the technology to usher in the next Epoch is older than I am, and almost nobody knows or cares enough to get out of their armchairs, just a little, and find out for themselves, to even try to. The people I seek are out there, but there are not many of them, but it won’t take many, either.

Best,

Hi:

The subjects that I write about trigger other subjects all the time, and while they may seem disparate, they are all united by a few themes:

• Our physical reality and its energetic basis;
• Consciousness;
• Human integrity and sentience.

These are the central themes of the human journey, and many issues bring them all together. One of them is the human impact on Earth’s environment and what humans can do about it. A good example is the megafauna extinction in Australia. Humans had likely been driving species to extinction for a million years when they invaded Australia, but when they invaded a continent that had never seen primates before, it was a swift extinction of all the megafauna. The fleet-footed kangaroo was the only large animal of significance to survive, and even they were decimated. A gorilla-sized kangaroo thrived when humans arrived, but it quickly went extinct. But there is a cottage industry of scientists who argue that climate change did it. One might think that papers such as this one would settle the issue of human agency, but the climate-blamers (and humanity-absolvers) will likely keep it up for as long as they can. I have yet to see a scientist without an ex to grind, who looks into the issue, who does not conclude that humans were primarily responsible for the megafauna extinctions. To this day, however, I see scientific cliques and scholars defending the aboriginal natives of the Americas and Australia, who either blame climate change or intentionally muddy the waters with “nuance,” to “coincidentally” absolve humanity of responsibility. It was an energy issue above all else, of course.

Similarly, the only ethical questions to raise about Global Warming are these:

• How are humans contributing to it?
• What can humans do about it?

Nothing else matters much. Global Warming predictions are largely the wrong questions to pursue, and are often ethically bankrupt. The only ethical question to ask is how humanity is contributing to it, and on that score, the answer is unequivocal. Only once we accept responsibility for our contribution to the issue can we change our behavior, and free energy would not only end our contribution overnight, but can help bring something like heaven on Earth into being. As far as what to do about it, how about the answer that dwarfs all else? Finding people who even care about the issue is like finding needles in haystacks. My recent encounter with a financial blogger, who beats the drums of doom over Peak Oil, but who can’t be bothered to even look into something that was placed in his lap, which solves that problem, virtually overnight, is typical of what I have encountered, ever since I first contacted Heinberg. To beat the drums of doom over an issue, and then ignore or dismiss the solution that dwarfs all others, is an issue of both integrity and sentience, and only they can really answer that question, if they are honest enough to. It is all an energy issue, of course.

I was recently reading on the long-term environmental catastrophe that the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was, and how we are setting ourselves up for worse ones. No surprise there. The next year was the Fukushima disaster, which won’t be resolved anytime soon. They are both energy issues, of course.

I’ll be writing about the American invasion of Iraq for the rest of my life. As Noam states, it is the greatest crime of the 21^st century so far, and was all about the oil, but try to find a mainstream American pundit who admits that it was a crime or was all about oil. Good luck with that. In some “liberal” corners, you will find an accounting of the continuing impacts of the USA’s invasion, and some are sentient and honest enough to call it a crime (1, 2, 3) not a blunder, just like the Nazis did after World War II or the USA did about the invasion of Vietnam, even though we outdid the Nazis in ways and hired many of the worst of them after the war was over. In some “liberal” and “radical” corners, there is some discussion of how the invasion of Iraq is being sanitized in the media, and try to find an honest discussion of the genocidal death toll that the USA has inflicted on Iraq and elsewhere, going back to 1991. Gideon Polya nearly stands alone (1, 2). It is all an energy issue, of course.

This is all highly pertinent to the issue of why we don’t live in the Fifth Epoch today, and why we have our toes over the edge of the abyss, instead. If we want to know who the villains are, or the potential saviors, we need look no farther than our bathroom mirrors.

Hi:

I had a little time on my hands. I looked before, and could not find it, but I believe that I found the account of my childhood friend’s last climb in Alaska that I recently mentioned. It looks like it was not Denali, but nearby Mount Dan Beard. It is on the flanks of Denali, so that is close enough in my friend’s reckoning.

From this report:


“Two other deaths occurred on nearby Mount Dan Beard when a cornice apparently broke beneath two young American climbers. Their bodies were found two thousand feet below where they had fallen.”


That was in 1980, when my friend was 21, and he told me about it in 1986, as we hiked up Sahale Arm, a couple of weeks before I chased Dennis out to Boston. Carrying out the bodies cured him of that kind of climbing, I believe.

He took those photos of me on Sahale Arm that day, attached. I also attached images from a post I made, where I described how I nearly died “tobogganing” down the mountainside after visiting my first glacier. Those pictures of my route were taken from Sahale Arm.

After initially posting this, as I looked at that picture of me with the sea of peaks, I realized for the first time that that glacier to the left of me seems to also be Yawning Glacier, where I nearly met my maker. That photo was taken higher on the mountain than the others, so it was not as evident to me that that was Magic Mountain and Yawning Glacier. We actually got up to a glacier that day on Sahale Arm, but it was under snow and didn’t much look like a glacier. When my friend realized that we were standing on a buried glacier, he got us off of it, and fast. He knew the dangers, while I was pretty oblivious to it, never having been that close to a glacier before.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I was just driven from a dream. It was a dream about the workplace and an instance of my witnessing what my waking mind knows was sexual harassment (clever writing by somebody at my workplace, and I was asked if it was harassment by the target, but didn’t initially think it was), but in my dream, I was slow to understand that. When I realized it, it shocked me into wakefulness. It made me think about my post yesterday. Why should I even need to make posts like that? Why do I not only need to write about the many millions of people that my great nation has murdered in the past generation, but I cannot speak about it with hardly anybody in my life? What kind of insane world do I live in? How does perpetrating mass murder and genocide become OK, based on the flimsiest of lies, which a five-year-old can see through?

I think back to the racism and bigotry that I was raised with, and the idea that I would not quite be a man unless I had been a soldier, and I wonder how grown men can think that way. My fellow Americans are ethical midgets, but I doubt that Americans are in any way unusual on that score. I think of the rogues’ gallery that Bill Gates posed with and praised, with one epitomizing greed (but making over his image as a “philanthropist”), and two others are among Earth’s greatest war criminals, and I have to shake my head at how surreal it was. But that is just a day at the office on Earth, as Gates leads the way to mandatory vaccinations.

When I staggered from my home town in 1990, awakened, but with my life in ruins, I was primed to be introduced to the work of Noam and Ed, but even though Noam is humanity’s greatest living intellectual, the gist of his political work is about issues that a five-year-old can understand. When we engage in behaviors that we would call crimes if others committed them, how dishonest is it to call them “mistakes” when we are finally caught or we decide that it is no longer profitable to do it? So, an IQ of 180 is needed to point something like that out? And Noam is vilified and marginalized for pointing out the lying and deceit around it, on completely false pretenses? When I try to correct the libelous treatment of Ed’s work at Wikipedia, my work is erased, amidst insults, false accusations, cursing, and threats from the admin, as he performs his erasing work. Wow. What a bunch of ethical ciphers, who have the audacity to accuse their targets of dishonesty and other crimes, in order to justify theirs.

About 20 years ago, I watched “hip” people blow gaskets over this section of my site, which is similar to how “liberals” performed the most irrational and disgusting attacks on Noam and Ed’s work, which is related to the different treatment that Noam is afforded, based on which university’s faculty lounge he is in. Why should I need to write a section on how the USA routinely rejects lessons that all children learn by the age of five, or how we turn vices into virtues? These are issues that are so obvious that is nearly embarrassing to have to point them out, but I am an outcast or “radical” for doing so. The emperor is stark naked, but it is not prudent to point out the tattoo on his backside. IMO, these are all just more examples of my journey’s primary lesson, and why I know that my Epochal task is essentially a hunt for needles in haystacks. My work is really not much of a heavy intellectual lift. The scientific parts are written at the popularized science level, and are much easier to read than Odum’s magnum opus, for instance. People do not need to be professional scientists in order to understand my work, or professional historians, or political scientists. Good old common sense and honesty is plenty.

When Noam ventured into history and politics in his “hobby” work, amongst all of the lying in the attacks on his work, Noam was told to stay in linguistics, as he was unqualified to write about politics and history. Noam replied that politics and history were not rocket science, and that anybody with a modicum of common sense could navigate those subjects. Noam and Ed were not some great inventors of new ways of seeing through the lies and deceit, as Orwell wrote on those subjects, and the New Testament’s Jesus said it all long ago. There is nothing new about any of this, but humanity is still not potty-trained as a species. That said, as our standards of living have risen, with our increasing energy surplus, societies have become more humane.

The late-Second Epoch “custom” of slaughtering one’s neighbors on sight is no longer acceptable, nor is the imperial entertainment of watching people being forced to murder each other, and slavery is no longer a hallowed institution. I watched my boss pat a female colleague on the butt each day, in the 1990s, and the racism and bigotry that I grew up with is no longer socially acceptable behavior, so progress has been made, in ways. In other ways, my great nation is no different from Rome, its continuing rapacity makes Rome’s ambitions pale to insignificance, and the hypocrisy is off the scale.

Yesterday, I was reading up on the extinction of the great auk, and how it was solely due to human activities, and the men who killed the last Auks proudly did it. I’ll make a future post on this, but that was less than two centuries ago, and the auk was far from the only animal that humans proudly drove to extinction. It is hard to imagine that mentality today (although today’s “shark-finning,” for instance, is more of the same), so that is another way in which we have progressed. However, we still have scientific cliques that build houses of cards to deflect responsibility from humans. It is a close cousin to what Noam points out about the actions of states, politicians, and intellectuals.

So, can enough of us wake up in time to forestall the coming catastrophe, and even better, help manifest something that resembles heaven on Earth? That is something that only we can answer.

It is time to start my busy day. The next week will be a very busy one for me, so I will likely be relatively quiet.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I had to add a little to yesterday’s post on mountain “fun.” I pulled an image off of the Internet of Yawning Glacier from Cascade Pass, attached. I wrote about my slide down from the glacier long ago, and the attached picture has my “route” for that butt-sled ride drawn in pink. Different years and different times of the year make for snowfields that will look different, and Yawning Glacier has surely receded in the past 30 years, as all Cascades glaciers have, so that chute that I aimed between on my ride is not evident in that photo. I still estimate that entire ride to have been a quarter-mile, but it might have been a little shorter (time can “stretch” in events like that ). It was definitely hundreds of yards, but maybe only 300 or so. I was not too keen on measuring the trip, but after I had taken an inventory of my health, I did take out my camera and take a picture of my route coming down from the glacier. I have not seen that picture in many years, and might have lost it.

Best,

Wade

Wade, I read your original account, and OMG!

All I can say is that you were a little lucky. (Or, just maybe, you might have received a hidden hand in help, as your life's mission was clearly incomplete. )

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Bill:

It is kind of “funny,” that I was lying down just now. I got up to get back to work and saw your post. While lying down, I thought about that “toboggan run” again, and relived it in my mind’s eye once more. If I had not been able to aim my trajectory with my heels, as they dug into the snow, I could have very easily hit one of the rock walls that I steered between, and the one to my right will always be the one that I see in my mind’s eye. If I had hit that, it might have been all over. I was able to steer around other life-threatening boulders farther down the mountainside, too. I still don’t know how I learned how do it that fast, and under those conditions, but I had incentive to.

As I look back to that moment on the mountainside, I think that, like with my lightning experience, my “friends” were indeed involved. Sometimes, I really wonder what chance there is left in my life, and I regularly feel the heavy hand of my “friends” in my life, to this day. In ways, my entire adult life has been an act of sacrifice, of carrying spears on doomed missions, then picking up the pieces each time, burying people, and the like, to keep going.

My “friends” have never let me in on the joke, and I am kind of reluctant to seek deep mystical meaning in events, numbers, and the like, as they can be ego traps and invitations to grandiose delusions, especially in this field, but some of the symmetries in my life have been hard to ignore. That toboggan run happened a few months after I got married and a month before I staggered from my home town, to never return. We marked our 30^th wedding anniversary this month, and I have a sense that those first 30 years of my life did not end as they did by accident. My 30^th birthday arrived as I was trying to recover from the previous two years with Dennis, and only a few weeks before he was arrested, and I eventually realized that the previous two years were the easy ones. By my 31^st birthday, I was radicalized, awake, and had rescued Dennis by sacrificing my life, in the biggest miracle that I ever witnessed. I had no interest in helping Dennis rebuild again. I had done it twice already, and was finished with that avenue, although he kept working on me, and coaxed me into the saddle again, several years later, and I nearly went to prison for my trouble. I am so happy that I instantly rejected his last overture to me (actually, not the last, but the last like that).

The next 30 years of my life were very different from the first 30 years, and in some ways, seemed to be compensation, as I lived a nearly normal life. Those were my years of study, writing, and taking the public stage again, but this time with pals like you. As the first 30 years of my life ended with fireworks and catastrophe, so has the second 30 years of my life. I have almost daily nightmares these days, of what happened in my personal life in recent years, and this quarantine at home seems to be capping it all off. I am not missing the many “coincidences” and similarities, as the heavy hand of my “friends” is still evident.

So, the next and probably last 30 years of my life have begun (picture of the old man, attached), if I make it that far. What’s next? Am I going to get a front-row seat to humanity’s demise by its own hand, as is common with species like ours? Will I live to see us turn the corner and avoid the abyss? Will I help make a dent? What, exactly, do my “friends” have in store for me? Sometimes, they seem like sadists, and at others, I think that I am supposed to take my medicine like a man and keep going. Strangely enough, I look forward to what is next. My “friends” always seem to lift me up or bring me down, depending on what they think I need. It is no fun to be manipulated like that, but I can’t regret any of my journey. To have even the faintest opportunity to make a dent like I may be able to was beyond my wildest imaginings when I was 16, with my first glimpse of where I was heading. So, I slog onward.

Thanks again for being a compatriot on this bizarre odyssey.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I have written plenty about my “friends” and Dennis, and meeting my future wife also had the heavy hand of my “friends” evident. After that first thirty years of my life ended in catastrophic fashion, I moved to Ohio, with my life in ruins, and began the next phase of my life, as the USA took its imperial project to new heights. I met Brian the next year, under similarly “coincidental” fashion, after many years of overlapping lives, in what I can again see was no “coincidence.” One day, likely when my life has ended, I will finally be let in on the joke. Until then, I live the life of a mushroom.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As an addendum to today’s earlier post, I was last at Cascade Pass in 2014, and I used a picture that I took that day, attached. The blue line was my “toboggan” route, and the pink line is the chute that I went through. In August of 1990, however, the chute was narrower than is in that image. I estimate that the chute that year was about 30-feet wide. Not crazily narrow, but I could have easily missed it. However, when I got ready and sat down, I was in the middle of it, it maybe 100 yards upslope of it. I’ll always have vivid memories of the wall to the right of the chute. Not only was it a wall, but the snow had melted off around it, so there was also probably ten feet or so of “air” between the snow and the rock face. I don’t like to think much about how that could have turned out. But, I was right about one thing: it was a fast way down the mountain.

Wade

Hi:

On the great auk extinction that I recently touched on, which I have touched on before, while I have a great deal of respect for what that scientist did, in collecting great auk DNA from around the world, I sure did not need that data to know that humans were the sole cause of the great auk’s demise. It is one of the best-documented extinctions that we know of, the marine version of what Europeans did to the passenger pigeon and nearly did to the bison. While it is a valid scientific issue to rule out other vectors of extinction, I see way too much of that kind of “doubt,” when the primary vector was undoubtedly human. It is like humanity is on trial, and needs to be given every benefit of the doubt and then some.

In my studies, I have regularly seen this kind of questioning on the extinction issue. If you study the dinosaur extinction much, you will encounter a similar body of hypotheses, which state that dinosaurs were already dying out when that bolide hit (as well as ammonoids and others that went extinct then), for volcanism, genetic, global cooling, and other reasons, but the findings of scientific investigations have consistently shown that dinosaurs and the others were doing just fine, right up until that bolide hit. If not for that bolide event, Earth would not have seen the rise of mammals, and there might be space-faring dinosaurs by now, or even 50 million years ago.

I have written plenty about the faithful opposition to the idea that humans were responsible for the megafauna extinctions, and won’t belabor it, but their arguments and evidence are thin-to-fanciful. I have also seen climate change trotted out for both the North and South American extinctions, but again, that is weak-to-nonsensical, with all of those animals going extinct as the world came out of the glacial interval, as the world got warmer and wetter, and it was just one of many changes like that over this ice age. On the mammoth extinction, which is the Moby Dick of the megafauna extinctions, there have been similar arguments (and even less tenable ones), that climate change did it, but when the growth rings on mammoth tusks were examined, it was the same story, of mammoths doing fine, as they had for millions of years in this ice age, to all suddenly go extinct soon after humans arrived. What a coincidence!

IMO, it did not matter what the climate was doing, how their genetics were doing, etc., when the greatest predator in Earth’s history arrived on the scene: the easy meat was all doomed.

Hi:

As I am Ed’s first biographer (and I hope not the last!), I have an obligation to be as well read on his work as I can. Ed was so prolific that I may never read all of it, but I think that I have come close, and I’ll find myself reading something that I have not read before, or rereading essays that I have.

I found myself rereading one of Ed’s Z Magazine articles immediately after the invasion of Iraq, and one a few years later, as Iran was in the crosshairs. What they had in common was Ed’s “Uncle Chutzpah.”

While noodling around on the subject, I read a curiously timed article on Noam, published as the USA invaded Iraq. The New Yorker is not where one goes for astute political-economic analysis, the writer is known for gossipy biographical profiles (which fit right in at the New Yorker), and her husband compared Kagame to Abe Lincoln (but Ed called him, “possibly the greatest mass murderer alive today”). I didn’t expect too much insight from her article (the article is considered a lurid hit piece today in certain corners, and I see the point), but it did give some tidbits on Noam’s life (if accurate), and it was interesting to read that his famous trip to India in the 1990s precipitated a health crisis, as Noam burned that candle at both ends.

In a famous article, Glenn Greenwald used it as an example of the kinds of articles on Noam that are used to avoid the substance of his work to focus on (and misrepresent) his style. Her article was the subject of a paper on ad hominem attacks. Chris Hitchens, AKA Mr. Cruise Missile Left, was repeatedly quoted in her article, but not Ed. That is similar to how all of the mainstream articles on Dennis featured the lying Mr. Skeptic, but none of those journalists ever contacted me. Her article was not one of the outright attack pieces that I have seen, but what curious timing, to have an article like that on the USA’s greatest dissident intellectual when the USA was committing the crime of the century.

Best,

Wade
