    Hi:

    In Ed’s last years, his go-to media source was Consortium News. Joe Lauria has been a worthy successor to Robert Parry. His article yesterday on events in Ukraine is well worth reading. He shows what I mentioned recently, that there is no Western reporting on how many Ukrainian troops are massed along the Donbass border, and that nearly all ceasefire violations have been committed by Ukraine, as documented by the OSCE. As I recently wrote, the USA and Ukraine recently stood on the world stage and defended Nazi ideology. As usual, you won’t find any of that in the American media. Any credible list of the best Western journalists ever has to place Pilger near or at the top, and Consortium is one of the few American outlets that will publish him, as it recently did.

    Putin is right that Ukraine is an American puppet, and has been since the American-led coup in 2014. Ukraine’s failure to implement the so-called Minsk II agreement, and its continued attacks on Donbass, led to this. Of course, this is not the “invasion” of Ukraine that Biden kept harping on, with no evidence, but diplomatic fur is flying over Putin’s move. What will never be emphasized in the American media is that this is all happening right at Russia’s doorstep. It is as if the USA largely disintegrated under foreign pressure, Texas became a nation, trapped “Yankees” became an oppressed and murdered underclass, and held out in Texas’s panhandle. What do you think that the remaining USA would do about its trapped former citizens, particularly when Texas became a puppet of a distant power that was hostile to those former Americans?

    I am not a fan of any national leader. As I recently wrote, today’s retail politics is a farce, and in the Fifth Epoch, there won’t be nations any longer, as they will have outlived their rationale. I only pray that this does not escalate further.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    I’ll try to make this short. I just read an excerpt from a coming book on the Watergate Scandal. G. Gordon Liddy was definitely a Nazi-style nut, and E. Howard Hunt was his confederate, but the mainstream media will never go into Hunt’s role in the JFK hit, as reported by Gary. Doug Caddy was the original Watergate attorney, but I can guarantee that that book is not going to explore the last conversation that Doug had with Hunt, nor will any other mainstream media outlet. Those are truth barriers that the media will never cross. Retail politics and the mainstream media are jokes, pabulum for the masses at best.

    Hi Wade, this is something that has puzzled me since I was a small boy.

    Quote My upcoming essay extends the runway to the Industrial Revolution a fair bit, going back to Rome and the Ancient Greeks, really, who invented the watermill, which was a critical technology for early industrialization and the ramp up to it.
    The Romans had everything in place to roll straight into the industrial age, they had metallurgy, reinforced concrete & even water pumps, not to mention trade routes & an empire full of resources. So why did they stop where they did & not go further ?

    Why did a people who came up with so many inventions & innovations in engineering just stop at some invisible line ?

    The same could be said of the ancient Chinese too.

    This where I have to wonder if outside forces are at play tbh.
    War is when your leaders tell you who the enemy is, revolution is when you work out who the enemy is for yourself.

    Hi Spiral:

    That has been debated for a long time, and my recent studies have provided some persuasive suggestions. It is a big subject. England had several dynamics that were unusual or unprecedented, and it largely revolved around the energy issue. Agricultural productivity had something to do with it, as nearly half the workforce was relieved of peasant duties. That was a big reason. Those humans got to explore other skills and inquiries. Each Epoch of the human journey was about:
    • Energy
    • Intelligence
    • Tools

    They all had their interplay. After behaviorally modern humans arrived on the scene, it was about collective intelligence, not an individual’s intelligence. Tools have always become more sophisticated. Cognitive tools such as writing (and the Internet! ) were important, but each Epoch was based on a new energy resource that was far more plentiful than what went before.

    The Scientific and Industrial Revolutions were related, and the Scientific Revolution would not have happened without the printing press. This is actually a subject for my upcoming Epochal transitions essay. But tapping coal energy was the big one. Between 1560 and 1860, per capita energy consumption in England and Wales went up by a factor of five. That never happened before in world history, and more than 90% of that energy consumption in 1860 came from coal, and I mean all energy sources: wood, draft animals, food. Firewood provided one-third of England’s energy in 1560, and 0.1% in 1860. Wood simply stopped being used.

    So England was way ahead of Rome and China in important ways, although they never really saw themselves as “ahead,” and while the Industrial Revolution was roaring along in the late 1700s, nobody saw it as a revolution at all. It is only in hindsight, with the rise of the science of energy and the like that anybody saw it as a revolution. Again, that entire transition is a big reason why I am writing that essay. Tap a big new energy source, and a new Epoch beckons. Well, for the coming Epoch, it has already been found.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    As I get into my essay work, I’ll likely wind down current event posts, but it is hard, with so much in our faces today. Kennedy literally wrote the book on Medical Racket, 2.0, and when I update my medical racket essay in coming years, his book will have a place of prominence. In the end, it is just a comprehensive example of my journey’s primary lesson, and we are all accomplices, to one degree or another. But that also means that we can all do something about it.

    For somebody who writes about science as much as I do, the COVID story is a historic example of how corrupt medical science is. All branches of science face corruption issues, but those with immediate economic impact face it much more, and medical science forms the foundation of one of the world’s greatest rackets. Orthodox physics is greatly stunted, as technologies exist that render the corpus of today’s physics into quaint notions of how our universe works.

    Kennedy’s organization is not slowing down, and this recent article chronicles the mind-boggling corruption in Western medical science. It does not take a rocket scientist to understand it. Conflicts of interest are everywhere. Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model is essentially a conflict-of-interest model. Those kinds of conflicts of interest riddle all industries and professions, as this is what a world of scarcity and fear looks like. Abundance and love are the answers, and abundance is only possible with energy abundance, hence my journey.

    I recently wrote on mitochondrial health. In the West, it is easy to be healthy, if people orient their efforts around these practices:
    • Eat whole food and avoid processed food; that whole food is ideally grown without agribusiness chemicals, hormones, and the like;
    • Avoid ingesting other voluntary toxins such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and other psychoactive drugs, especially habitually;
    • Have a regimen that includes regular exercise and fasting (even the daily intermittent fasting helps); and meditation/prayer also is helpful;
    • Avoid all medical interventions such as drugs, vaccines, and surgeries – they generally cause more problems than they “fix,” and are often quite deadly.

    It does not take an Einstein to understand those practices, and people don’t have to be saints to perform them. Kennedy or I can spend the rest of our lives documenting these evil situations, but it is up to each of us to live our lives. These vaccine mandates are something right out of Nazi Germany, and are not easy to avoid, I grant that. We are not nearly as free as Westerners imagine, and what is happening in Canada is a stark reminder of that. But, again, we all have a hand in this, and can all make a dent.

    I really don’t need to write much more than that on these subjects, as I bear down on my essay work.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    It is time for some of Mercola’s recent articles. Today’s article, attached, is about how vaccine mandates have been protested since the 1800s. I wrote just last night on Canada’s draconian reaction to the anti-vaccine-mandate protests, and Mercola’s article was on vaccine-mandate protests in the 1800s. He cited Dissolving Illusions as the best book that challenges vaccination, and I won’t argue strenuously against that. I think that Dissolving Illusions and Vaccines, A Reappraisal, are the two best books that I have seen on the subject, but Tenpenny’s book is also up there, my introduction to the idea was the Béchamp book from a century ago, and Neil Z. Miller’s books are always fabulous. As I have written many times, there is no credible evidence that vaccination ever conquered any disease. Vaccination is huge racket and has always been so. Improvements in sanitation, nutrition, and hygiene get credit for defeating infectious diseases, not vaccination.

    Another attached Mercola article is about the new AIDS scare, just as COVID begins to recede from daily life, as the mask restrictions are about to end in the USA. Kennedy devoted a lot of his book to how Fauci fraudulently built his empire on AIDS, and here it comes again, without missing a beat. As Mercola recently wrote, attached, today, the COVID vaccines themselves are damaging people’s immune systems.

    Mercola had another article that showed the NIH director’s recent attack on Mercola, blaming him for the COVID epidemic. That NIH director, who is really a Fauci toady, not his boss, led the attack on The Great Barrington Declaration, which presented the sensible reaction to COVID, not what Fauci and team did, which killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.

    Best,

    Hi:

    It is time for a little Ukraine post. I just read this, which compared Kosovo to Donbass. Dismantling Yugoslavia was one of Ed’s most prominent topics (as was the USA’s coup in Ukraine) and it is instructive to compare the USA’s reaction to Kosovo to its Donbass reaction. I read this, this morning, from one of my favorite analysts of events such as these. Ukraine stated this morning that it is being subjected to cyberattacks, and there is open speculation that it is a prelude to a shooting war (but we’ll see). The American media is filled with all sorts of anti-Russian propaganda right now, probably similar to the McCarthy days.

    Everybody has an oar in the water over this, as two nuclear powers are mixing it up again. This is too an interesting of a time to be alive. Can we fast-forward to the happy ending, with the arrival of the Fifth Epoch?

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    Here is a little more on Ukraine. As I keep mentioning, Consortium News was probably Ed’s favorite news site in his last years, for good reason. Ed mentored Diana Johnstone and gave her her first computer. She gave one of the best eulogies for Ed. Here is an article of hers that was just published in Consortium News, on the USA, Russia, and Ukraine, which you will never see in the American media. Here is an article in Consortium by an Australian diplomat, again, of the kind that will never run in the American media, as the propaganda spin machine against Russia is now running 24/7.

    In the English-speaking West, if people want to understand American foreign policy, I have seen nothing better than Consortium. I respect Counterpunch, too, and here is a different take on Russia’s moves, but Counterpunch has articles, just this week, which reflect a spectrum of thinking on Russia, the USA, and Ukraine (1, 2, 3). Reading those sites is a million percent better than imbibing the McCarthyesque propaganda coming from the USA’s mainstream media today.

    One thing is certain: the USA’s motives are far from pure on the Ukraine issue, as we fomented the 2014 coup, and the USA and Ukraine recently stood alone on the world stage and defended Nazi ideology, incredibly. That is what Russia is dealing with in Ukraine.

    I found myself nodding along in agreement to the John Pilger article in your post but then I gave it some thought... if you look at the objective outcomes Russia wanted to achieve , his invasion of Ukraine won't lead to any successful outcome and seems like a massive own goal, made worse by the fact that inevitably, innocent people will die because of Putins strategy:

    – NATO guarantees that it will not deploy missiles in nations bordering Russia. (They are already in place from Slovenia to Romania, with Poland to follow)

    – NATO to stop military and naval exercises in nations and seas bordering Russia.

    – Ukraine will not become a member of NATO.

    – the West and Russia to sign a binding East-West security pact.

    – the landmark treaty between the U.S. and Russia covering intermediate-range nuclear weapons to be restored. (The U.S. abandoned it in 2019.)

    Hi Sirus:

    I saw the number recently: about 14,000 people have already been killed in Ukraine, mostly ethnic Russians, I would guess. That neo-Nazi mass murder in Odessa right after the 2014 coup set the stage for what has happened, and I am sure that a bunch of thoughtful analysis is coming (none of which will be in the American media).

    Sure, what Russia is doing today can be seen as highly counterproductive to its interests. As an American, my focus is going to largely be on the USA. We have a huge burden of responsibility for what is happening there. The Cold War was always an American invention, and our behaviors ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union have been an empire on the rampage, with many millions of deaths. All of this obsession with Russia by the USA is ludicrous, the latest imperial rationale. Russia is a small player in geopolitics, and without their nuclear arsenal, they don’t even register on the geopolitical playing field. Their main value in the world economy is their natural resources. The USA has been bullying that part of the world for a long time.

    At least so far, Russia seems to be doing what they are claiming: taking out Ukraine’s military assets and not harming the domestic population. I get the “denazification” statement that Putin made, and the American contribution to the neo-Nazi situation in Ukraine I doubt will ever be mentioned in the American media, or that recent UN vote in which the USA and Ukraine stood alone on the world stage and defended Nazi ideology. For long-time observers of the USA’s behavior, that is no great surprise.

    Grim times, and I only pray that they don’t get worse. Fortunately, it looks like Biden is just going to brandish his sanctions club. Let’s hope so.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    On this grim day of warfare, Joe Lauria’s article is good reading for what motivates Putin. Don’t expect the American media to acknowledge much of it.

    Hi:

    One of my favorite journalists, Caitlin Johnstone, weighed in on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Matt Taibbi just wrote a mea culpa for being wrong about the Russian invasion, as he didn’t see it coming, being too focused on the West’s malfeasance. He wrote one of the best eulogies for Ed.

    The USA has engaged in fraudulent diplomacy ever since George Washington, and the record is long and sordid. The USA has been goading Russia for a generation, after the genocidal 1990s, when Russian life expectancy collapsed, and then Yeltsin’s successor, Putin, didn’t bend over and take it anymore. So, the USA has been squeezing Russia ever since. As Johnstone concluded her article linked above, those assaults on Russia were really aimed at China. The propaganda about Russia has been rich for the past decade, but other than a few years when Stalin became “Uncle Joe” as he beat the Nazis, the USSR/Russia has been a continual target in the American media ever since the Russian Revolution. The last article that Ed published to the Internet dealt with that.

    Overthrowing Ukraine’s government by using neo-Nazis is standard procedure for the USA, and Russia had enough of being goaded, right on its doorstep. Now, we are facing a potential global calamity, as the USA took a blowtorch to the powder keg one too many times. Oh, I did not want to live to see this. We’ll see if global catastrophe can be avoided.

    This just inspires me to work on helping the Fifth Epoch manifest. It can come none too soon.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    Ed quoted John Mearsheimer, as he noted that what happened in Ukraine in 2014 was a coup. Mearsheimer’s statement of six years ago is getting a lot of play today, when he said that Ukraine was a Western pawn that would be sacrificed in the West’s effort to harry Russia. The Big Zbig openly bragged that he used Afghanistan that way, and millions of lives were shortened. Oh, how the high and mighty play their games, treating the rest of us as expendable.

    Facebook is in the awkward position of allowing promotion of neo-Nazis, as long as they are fighting Russia. Already, one million Ukrainians are displaced. In the Western media, all I see is propaganda, when I bother to look. Russia’s very real grievances are not dealt with at all in the Western media, but dismissed as irrational or paranoid.

    I have never made any predictions about the Ukrainian situation, other than noting that taking a blow torch to the powder keg is never a good idea, and Russia was goaded one too many times. But I’ll say that the fighting is likely to get fierce in coming days, until Ukraine surrenders. Ukraine is certainly no match for Russia, even with the American weaponry they have been given. The quicker it ends, the fewer deaths on all sides.

    I have studied the Chernobyl issue over the years, and oh, have Ukrainians suffered. That region has seen invasions for several thousand years, including the Mongol hordes and Nazis, and this is the latest. I am saying my prayers for the region, and praying that this does not set us down the path to a global catastrophe. The Fifth Epoch can come none too soon.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    It is time for a little Ukraine post. I just read this, which compared Kosovo to Donbass. Dismantling Yugoslavia was one of Ed’s most prominent topics (as was the USA’s coup in Ukraine) and it is instructive to compare the USA’s reaction to Kosovo to its Donbass reaction. I read this, this morning, from one of my favorite analysts of events such as these. Ukraine stated this morning that it is being subjected to cyberattacks, and there is open speculation that it is a prelude to a shooting war (but we’ll see). The American media is filled with all sorts of anti-Russian propaganda right now, probably similar to the McCarthy days.

    Everybody has an oar in the water over this, as two nuclear powers are mixing it up again. This is too an interesting of a time to be alive. Can we fast-forward to the happy ending, with the arrival of the Fifth Epoch?

    Best,

    Wade
    I understand your sentiments here: it seems that humanity is always being subjected to great suffering, each movement forward involves billions of people dying, suffering enormous hardships and privation we can see who really suffers when War is the game, millions take to the roads, trying to find refuge and solace, somewhere they can rest and simply 'live'-remember all of the footage from WWII when Germany took the path to war, it is always the ordinary people who do most of the suffering, can't we use our great powers to prevent this, why are we so invested in these huge ego battles. Peace to you from the fascist regime in Perth Western Australia. I was thinking just recently how my father would be reacting to this world, he fought in WWII as an engineer in the British army, he would be crushed, my mother also, they both endured WWII, and now it has come around again.

    Thanks Mike:

    I was thinking of writing a comprehensive response to your heartfelt post, but I need to work on my writing projects. I have spent over an hour this morning reading on events in Ukraine. I have yet to see in the mainstream American media any mention that the USA mounted a coup in Ukraine in 2014, used neo-Nazis in the process, and recently stood alone on the world stage with Ukraine and defended Nazi ideology, which is standard American practice, especially since we hired all of the useful Nazis and protected many thousands of others. I read yesterday that Ukraine is in fourth place among nations for getting American weaponry. Might we have overdone it with goading Russia?

    Russia has very real grievances, although warfare is never the answer. But that issue will never receive a fair hearing in the USA. It is Russia the demon once more.

    My game is making warfare obsolete, only abundance for all the world’s peoples can do that, and only free energy can make that happen. It will also make nations obsolete. Only when humanity is seen as one big family will this nightmare end. As I recently wrote, in the Fifth Epoch, reaching our potential will be everybody’s birthright. Until then, it is these daily outrages, as we get ever-closer to the brink of oblivion.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    The best article that I saw today on the Ukrainian situation came from Chris Hedges, who has long been one of the best voices on the Left. He wrote that the road to this moment has been paved by the USA for many years. He is right.

    Hi:

    I was waiting to see what the Strategic Culture folks would have to say about the situation in Ukraine, and they did not disappoint. The first of their articles that I want to discuss was this one, on the Nazi connections to Ukraine’s junta. I was a little surprised in the past when I read of Canada’s close ties with and assistance to Ukraine, and it turns out that Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister’s grandfather was a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator. In that Strategic Culture article, it showed Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau posing with Ukrainian neo-Nazis. The article suggested that what happened in Ukraine was a continuation of Operation Gladio, which was a CIA/NATO operation, using Nazis to harry the Soviet Union after World War II ended. It was related to the Gehlen Org’s activities, as Gehlen tried to recreate the Gestapo. My thread on the NASA Nazis is actually pretty tame, compared to the reality.

    Invoking Nazis has long been called bad form and incendiary in popular culture, but it is very appropriate when we protect them, whitewash their backgrounds, and turn them into American heroes and hosts of Disney shows for the kiddies. The Nazi connection to the Ukrainian junta is very clear, and is not an aberration of American foreign policy, but was often its essence, such as the “subfascist” regimes that the USA installed in Latin America, which literally used Nazis, such as Walter Rauff in Chile. So, using neo-Nazis to help overthrow Ukraine’s government is nothing new for the USA. Similar to MKUltra, Gladio likely never quite ended, but just went “off the books,” to resurface in actions such as overthrowing Ukraine’s government. That Trudeau recently invoked extraordinary, Orwellian powers to wipe out a protest over forced vaccinations is instructive.

    Another Strategic Culture article noted how Russia had been repeatedly goaded into taking the action it did, when negotiated settlements were ignored by the USA and its sycophants. Does it bear mentioning that Biden helped orchestrate the coup in Ukraine, and his son cashed in on it?

    The third article that I read was on how Russia finally said enough to the USA/NATO aggressions.

    Those articles are the kind of analyses that you will never see in the American media, which has been blasting the propaganda on high volume this week.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    I dug a little more into that story of the Canadian politician (the equivalent of the American vice-president), Chrystia Freeland, whose Ukrainian grandfather not only was a propagandist for Nazi Germany, but helped shape her hysterical anti-Russian views. She helped edit an article that exposed her grandfather’s Nazi collaborations, so she knew full well about her grandfather’s service to Nazi Germany, in which he cheered the slaughter of the Jews. When an article exposed this sordid background, she smeared the people who exposed it.

    I don’t claim to be an expert on Nazi Germany. I am just a schoolboy who eventually realized how deeply he had been lied to, and my life is strangely wrapped up with Nazis, from my space brat days to Brian’s astronaut status, being Ed’s biographer also roped me into the issue periodically, and I studied the Holocaust at some length long ago, which actually damaged my marriage and was the final straw that got me to stop drinking, after battling with the bottle for 20 years.

    I have not mentioned before that the event that drove my father from NASA, the Apollo 1 fire, happened under the supervision of another Nazi, Kurt Debus, who gets hagiographic treatment to this day. I have seen Debus charged with the lax safety environment that contributed to those astronaut deaths. I have read too much about how the USA protected those Nazis, even death camp Nazis who performed human experiments, who get softball treatment at venues such as Wikipedia today, while a Jew such as Ed is libeled. It is a highly telling contrast.

    So, when I read that article on Freeland’s grandfather, and how American intelligence put her grandfather’s family up in a hotel for years before he could move to Canada (which Freeland disingenuously called a “refugee camp”), it reminded me of the many times that I have read of such treatment. Relatively few Nazis, even those who performed human experiments, were ever prosecuted. Many of the worst Nazis were not only not prosecuted, but were actively protected from prosecution by the likes of people such as Allen Dulles. Dulles not only hid Walter Rauff, who later came handy with the Pinochet regime in Chile, from those looking for him, including American prosecutors, but he was instrumental in protecting Karl Wolff, who was the highest-ranking SS officer to survive the war (he was second-in-command to Himmler). Dulles not only helped save Wolff from the gallows, but tried to portray him as a hero, even to the extent of trying to make a heroic movie about him, which was probably a bridge too far, even for Hollywood.

    So, Freeland’s grandfather cheered on the Final Solution, and like so many others, with American help, he slipped the noose and made his way to a comfortable life in the West. Nazi collaborators such as Yull Brown fell into Soviet hands, and it was a rather rough ride for Yull. If Nazis could, they greatly preferred surrendering to the Americans. And generations later, their descendants can continue their work against Russia. It really is incredible. These kinds of situations have everything to do with what is happening in Ukraine today.

    Best,

    Wade
