    Hi:

    Briefly, Ed was Jewish, and it gave him the authority, even the obligation, to write about Israel’s crimes. Ed wrote that Israel was a terror state. Craig Murray recently wrote that the death-ratio of Palestinians-versus-Israelis has historically been about 40-to-one. But the coverage of atrocities in our media is reversed, and Hamas’s victims are being portrayed as worthy victims.

    Sam Husseini’s father was Palestinian, and driven from his home by the Zionists. Sam recently wrote that Israel helped along the rise of Hamas, to divide Palestinians. Brutal colonial occupiers need “resistance” such as Hamas’s, as their atrocities further justify Israeli atrocities. Of course, Palestinians will be the big losers in this latest round of violence.

    Day One can come none too soon.

    Best,

    Hi:

    I want to write about the dynamics around Day One’s arrival and how we can get there, not on the woes of our world. This last week, I worked on what may be my most important post of the year, as it is a preview of my upcoming essay. But current events and other distractions (hiking among them, but my high season ended on Thursday, and a post is coming) greatly impact my efforts.

    So, here goes on what is happening in Israel and Palestine, as I continue that new thread. Noam and I do not see eye-to-eye on several issues (the medical racket and the JFK hit, for instance), but on the background of Israel and Palestine, you can’t get much better than Noam, especially on the West’s involvement. I am not much of a video guy, but these short clips (1, 2) on Noam and Israel are classic Noam. He talked about how “Christian Zionism” was a big factor behind the West’s support for Israel, and how the biggest Western supporters of Israel were also British settler states that dispossessed the natives (USA, Canada, and Australia). Noam will be 95 this year, and he still has it, although like Einstein in his old age, Noam sure does not care what he looks like anymore. There are plenty of recent transcripts of interviews of Noam on Israel and Palestine, such as here.

    I’ll write plenty more about it later, but it is time to write a little on those four postwar books that I recently read. My main takeaway may seem trite: violence begets violence. Savage Continent and Orderly and Humane were awe-inspiring efforts on the subject. The aftermath in Europe lasted a bloody decade, and was often the resumption of battles that World War II interrupted. The score-settling in the immediate aftermath ranked at times with Nazi brutality, as Europe learned Hitler’s lessons, sometimes literally.

    In Poland, the surviving death camps were immediately filled with Germans, including ethnic Germans that lived in many millions around Europe. One new camp was run by an Auschwitz survivor, and he literally tried to reproduce the Auschwitz experience. It had everything but the gas chambers, and one hapless man, who had been interned at both Auschwitz and that new Polish-run camp, said, “I’d rather be ten years in a German camp than one day in a Polish one.” Another Polish camp was run by a Dachau survivor, and in a parody of the “work makes one free” motto on Auschwitz’s front gate, that camp’s front gate had a sign that said “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.” The death rates in those camps rivaled those of Nazi work camps.

    Those ethnic Germans were scattered across Europe, mainly Eastern Europe. When the war ended, more than 12 million people were expelled to Germany, and at least 500,000 of them died in the process. They were mainly women, children, and the elderly. The working-age German men were often kept and enslaved, while the “useless” women, children, and elderly were expelled. Poland and Yugoslavia were particularly vicious. Those postwar expulsions comprise history’s greatest migration. Millions of German women were raped in the war’s aftermath, largely by Soviet soldiers, but they weren’t the only ones. Wealthy American soldiers could afford to pay for their sex with chocolate bars and food, so they were not as brutal (and did not have the motivation for vengeance that Soviet soldiers did, but the Soviets even raped their women at liberation).

    In one of many ironies of the war’s aftermath, as the Nuremberg trials were mounted, some crimes that Nazis were prosecuted for were their mass expulsions and forced migrations, which the Allies were in the midst of administering, only on a grander scale, to ethnic Germans. It was winner’s “justice.” To this day, the expulsion of ethnic Germans remains one of the West’s dirty little secrets. The Allies generally believed that the Germans deserved it, and nearly everybody turned a blind eye to it. There were some dissenting voices, notably by Jewish Holocaust survivors who thought that Europe was sinking to Hitler’s level with its mistreatment of Germans, but they were a tiny minority.

    In many ways, the USA served as Hitler’s model. The Nazi race laws were crafted after American race laws. The Volkswagen was Hitler’s answer to Henry Ford’s Model T – a car for the masses. Hitler learned his anti-Semitism at Ford’s feet. Hitler merely took social Darwinism, eugenics, and other Western delights to their logical conclusion. His genocidal plans for Eastern Europe, to give Germans “living space,” were modeled after the Anglo-American experience in North America. Hitler used eagerly supplied Rockefeller oil to invade the Soviet Union, long after the Rockefellers provided Hitler PR help. Hitler learned his lessons well. The Lebensraum, Manifest Destiny, and Promised Land ideologies were all cut from the same cloth. In the Fifth Epoch, land won’t matter any longer, as it won’t be the basis of food and wealth. Nobody is going to fight over land.

    Hitler’s idea of “racial” purity was also behind the expulsions (and genocide). The Nazi race idea was scientifically invalid, but common for the day. The postwar expulsions attempted to accomplish ethnic purity in nations, which was more what Hitler’s idea was really about. What Hitler did not accomplish, postwar Europe did.

    Poland’s anti-Semitism was not even dented in the Holocaust’s aftermath. A mass slaughter of Jews in July 1946, more than a year after the war ended, convinced all surviving Jews to flee Poland. Events such as that had a lot to do with the establishment of Israel. Einstein had it right that any establishment of Israel should be done in a spirit of friendship with Arabs. That obviously did not happen. Einstein declined the offer to be Israel’s first president, and I wonder whether Israel’s history might be quite different if he had taken the job.

    The Zionists also learned Hitler’s lessons, as they drove out nearly a million Palestinians to establish Israel. Gary’s job at the LAPD was putting Mickey Cohen under surveillance. Cohen was a Jewish mobster who worked for Al Capone, as his close colleague Jack Ruby also did. Cohen was also a close associate of mass-murdering terrorist Menachem Begin, who later became Israel’s prime minister. Cohen once “donated” a warship to Israel. Begin was once the UK’s most wanted terrorist. Begin kind of epitomized the thugs who run Israel. I have been asked what Israel’s role in the JFK hit might have been. Jack Ruby’s involvement alone means that the Jewish mob was involved, and I don’t know if Israel was involved, but it was definitely in the milieu, and the Israelis arguably had motivation.

    On what is happening today in Israel and Palestine, and American involvement, you can’t beat Consortium News (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), which has, of course, been under siege in recent years (PayPal tried to steal their money, they have been targeted by the White House, etc.), which was Ed’s go-to news site in his last years.

    The USA has targeted civilians in war from the beginning, starting with Indians, as George Washington was known as “town destroyer” among the Seneca. The bombings of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki targeted civilians. The invasion of Vietnam was all about slaughtering civilians, millions of them, and we outdid Hitler at times. The economic warfare against Iraq targeted civilians, and killed children in particular. So, the USA is expert at targeting civilians, so Biden’s advice to Israel today, about minimizing civilian casualties (it may be too late for that), as it levels Gaza, is rich in irony. Unless a miracle happens, the coming days promise to be grim in Gaza, which is a 21st-century Warsaw Ghetto.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    After making my Israel-Palestine post this morning, I spent the rest of my day reading up on the Rockefellers and Nazis. This is far from new territory for me, but it was interesting to read contemporary articles on the “treason” of Standard Oil (1, 2). There is plenty of Rockefeller scuttlebutt out there (1, 2, 3), little of it is obviously wrong, and the public has obviously seen only the tip of the iceberg on the Rockefellers and their relationship with the Nazis. But a lot of corporate America was in bed with the Nazis, even the venerable IBM. But no interest came to dominate both energy and medicine like the Rockefellers did, and Bill Gates is an apt successor.

    Of all of the global rackets that I write about, I know about the energy and medical rackets the best, through bitter experience with them and many years of study. We had our run-ins with the Rockefellers, and what I found “interesting” was how Chase Manhattan Bank was the Nazis’ main bank in the USA. Chase wiped out Dennis’s manufacturer, so that Dennis had to build his own factory. My first interview with Dennis’s company was at that factory.

    There are so many connections between the Rockefellers (and lackeys such as the Bushes and Dulles brothers – and both families were involved with the JFK hit, and probably RFK’s murder), Nazis, the various rackets, and so on, that it can make one into a conspiracist! For the record, I do not believe that the Rockefellers sit at the top of the global heap, if they ever did.

    What I call the Global Controllers are simply a predictable outcome of global capitalism, with greed and the lust for power taken to nearly inconceivable levels. Oh, what capitalism has cost humanity. The predecessor organizations likely had their start when Europe began conquering the world, and elites could begin to think globally for the first time. But they are fractured, and I try to not pay much attention to the issue, but I can hardly be oblivious to them. They ruined my life, and they have not forgotten about me. We gave them some interesting days at the office, and a CIA errand boy offered Dennis a billion dollars to go away before they lowered the boom on us.

    Why am I even writing this post? I suppose that it is to help the people I seek develop comprehensive perspectives, which my approach requires. Otherwise, they get stuck in various ideological traps, disappear down rabbit holes to nowhere, etc. They end up with lopsided perspectives, such as two in my pantheon: Noam and RFK, Jr. Oh, if Noam could educate Kennedy on Israel, and if Kennedy could educate Noam on the medical racket. But they are both stuck, drinking their particular flavor of Kool-Aid. It happens to the best of them, which is partly what makes my task so difficult.

    Time for bed.

    Best,

    Hi:

    As my readers might imagine, Sam Husseini, whose father was a Palestinian who was driven from his home by the Zionists, has been busy in recent days (1, 2). I have studied far too much about genocides and Holocausts in my life. Palestinians have been subjected to a slow-motion genocide by Israel for 75 years. Sam’s article this morning is about how the Genocide Convention (which the USA never fully ratified) might finally be invoked at the UN. The USA and Israel will fight it all the way, but that is normal.

    Praying for the best outcome…

    Hi:

    As a preamble to this post, I bit off too much. About two weeks ago, I began this post, but the progress has been fitful, and it is going to turn into something pretty big, so I am breaking it up in pieces and will publish it over the coming days/weeks. So here goes…


    I was driven from my sleep twice while writing this post (which is becoming common these days ), which I began a couple of weeks ago. It will serve as a little preview of my upcoming essay, and I consider these my most important posts of the year (of which this is the first), but maybe that is just the recency effect. I am not sure what spurred this, but it is likely a combination of what is happening in Israel/Palestine and the nuclear brinksmanship that the USA and its puppet, NATO, are foisting on Russia. As Bucky Fuller said, we are in a race between education and catastrophe. I know a way out, maybe the only way out, but I can’t do it alone.

    Half of my big essay was about the journey of life on Earth before the rise of humanity. When I update that essay in coming years, the themes will not change, but a dozen more years of study will see a refinement of that section. It is an energy story above all else. In my upcoming essay, I am telescoping that first half of my big essay into two short chapters, and I start going into greater depth when discussing African great apes.

    Africa’s great apes reversed the sexual dynamics of simian societies, likely due to the energetic changes that came with abandoning the canopy, and they became patrilocal rather than matrilocal, as monkeys are. In ways, chimps only took gorilla trends further, and became smarter and more fruit-dependent than gorillas. But they also became prodigiously violent, with Machiavellian social scheming by the males, which was regularly deadly. In Frans de Waal’s Chimpanzee Politics, the similarities between chimp politics and human politics are obvious (such as kissing babies while on the campaign trail). Chimp societies are hundreds of times more aggressive than the most violent human societies. Males die violently all the time, sometimes from internal politics, but more commonly from “wars” with their neighbors, as they try to take their territory and fertile females. The first thing that conquering chimps do is kill all of the infants, so that their mothers can breed with the conquerors. In many ways, we can see ourselves in chimp societies, as our behaviors are often only a more sophisticated version of the in-group/outgroup dynamics that characterize all social species.

    But some chimps found themselves isolated south of the Congo River, without gorilla competition, and their food supply doubled. That energetic boost allowed them to radically reorganize their societies. Females came together in a sisterhood that eliminated male domination. In those societies - and they became a distinct species, the bonobo - infanticide is unknown. While scientists have observed and collected circumstantial evidence for well more than 100 violent chimp deaths at the hands of their fellows, there is only one suspected case of a violent bonobo death. Bonobos lived in peace for up to two million years, but humans threaten them with extinction today, as all great apes are endangered by humanity.

    I’ll be putting up a draft of my section on those great ape societies before long. I have been working on the chapter of how apes became humans, and will publish that draft soon. The first thing that what became humanity did when it began to create sophisticated stone tools was become hunters that killed off all of the easy meat. It began with the tortoise extermination in Africa, which likely started over three million years ago. About 1.5 million years ago, a rising humanity caused its first mass megafauna extinction, in Africa and southern Asia. The elephant family was the primary casualty, but far from the only one. Those extinctions kept happening for the next 1.5 million years, in Africa and Eurasia. Behaviorally modern humans finally left Africa and conquered Earth, beginning around 60,000 years ago. Australia and the Americas, which were “virgin” continents, quickly lost nearly all of their megafauna soon after humans arrived. The Americas quickly lost all members of the elephant family, which had thrived for millions of years throughout the Americas.

    Not only was nearly all of the megafauna driven to extinction, but our ancestors also drove all other human species to extinction, Neanderthals most famously, but there were other human species that went extinct soon after encountering behaviorally modern humans, and I strongly doubt that it was a gentle process. The closest thing that we had to quintessential hunter-gatherer societies in modern times was aboriginal Australia before the British conquest began in the late 1700s. They were almost all strict hunter-gatherers, and they were extremely territorial and violent. For recovered aborigine fossils, a third of the women and a quarter of the men had fractured skulls from interpersonal violence. The women mainly got their fractures from their “husbands,” while the men got them from battles with their neighbors. While perhaps 30% of male chimps die violently, maybe “only” 20% of hunter-gatherer men did. Half of all preindustrial children died before adulthood, in a trend that goes back to gorillas. There were no “good old days” in humanity’s preindustrial past.

    There was a brief golden age of the hunter-gatherer, when living was relatively easy, and any conflicts were resolved by simply moving to the next virgin grounds. Those “halcyonic” times lasted as long as the easy meat did. But when the easy energy ran out, humans became territorial again, and life became extremely violent – proportionately the most violent phase of the human journey, since we became behaviorally modern.

    We have been in an ice age for millions of years, and for the past million years, the continental ice sheets have advanced and retreated like clockwork. We are living in one of the brief warm intervals, and should be heading back toward a glacial interval about now, but we have already spewed enough fossil fuel pollution into the carbon cycle that we may be delaying the return of the ice by 50,000 years or so, for starters.

    After the ice sheets began melting about 20,000 years ago, it became warm and wet enough several thousand years later, and the carbon dioxide levels had risen enough, and humans had become intelligent enough, and the easy meat was extinct, so that domesticating plants became attractive and feasible. Thus began what I have called the Third Epoch. Domestication events happened independently in several places on Earth, as a sort of “convergent evolution” of human societies. Hunter-gatherer societies were patrilocal, in a likely unbroken trend back to Africa’s apes, but some early horticultural societies reversed that trend and became matrilocal, at least partly because women brought in most of the calories (some fishing societies also became matrilocal). Matrilocality (and multilocality, in which either men or women leave their natal societies) broke up the gangs of related males, and those matrilocal/multilocal societies are the most peaceful preindustrial societies, similar to how bonobo energy changes ushered in radical social changes. Other theories have warfare as the most important indicator of post-marital residence, so the primary variables, whatever the theory is, are food, reproduction, and violence, just like with chimps and bonobos.

    Similar to how Australia was a window into hunter-gatherer societies, New Guinea’s Highlanders were the last “discovered” people on Earth, completely isolated from the outside world until the 20th century. They were farmers whose subsistence was root crops, bananas (domesticated in New Guinea), and pigs. But they remained patrilocal. Instead of idyllic peaceful villagers, those New Guinea Highlanders had the most violent societies on Earth when they were “discovered.” About a third of all highlander societies went extinct each century from warfare. Male-dominated pre-civilized societies were extremely violent.

    After several thousand years of horticulture and farming, where the conditions were conducive to it, civilization was invented, again independently in several regions, as civilization solved various human problems, provided opportunities that served various interests, and the primary upshot was that it allowed for the development of professions. What they had in common were seed crops that could form a tax base, and the rise of elites came with the rise of civilization, for better or worse.

    With the rise of civilization, human societies became recognizably similar to what we see today. Preindustrial civilizations were always unstable, and environmental devastation accompanied all of them, which contributed to their falls. Humanity has not lived in “harmony” with its environment since the tortoise extinctions began, and the control of fire was the next big step in alienation from the environment, as humanity’s tools set us apart.

    My upcoming essay can be seen as a condensed version of my big essay, but there are differences, and maybe the most important is about how each Epochal transition to a new energy source was achieved, and what happened to those who didn’t make the transition: extinction, generally, at the hands of those who made the transition. Each Epoch tapped multiple times more energy than the previous one, even by an order of magnitude. Denizens of earlier Epochs didn’t have a chance when competing with people at higher levels of energy consumption. They adapted, or went extinct, or were pushed into marginal environments (mountains, swamps, deserts). It was usually the men who went extinct, while the women mated with the winners. The rise of humans meant the extinction of other human species, hunter-gatherers gave way to farmers, and the first nations to industrialize conquered humanity.

    Whether the brunt was taken by the easy meat, our fellow human species, or people living in prior Epochs, humans have inflicted immense violence and crimes to advance their interests. However, peruse these statistics, and you can see how greatly deaths from violence have declined, from over 50% of the deaths caused by violence in some prehistoric cemeteries, to far less than 1% globally today. There is a paradox, however. While proportionately, deaths are fewer, in absolute numbers, they can dwarf the distant past, because there are a thousand times as many people as there were 8,000 years ago, before civilization was invented.

    So, why are we not slaughtering each other like we used to? In my opinion, it is because we no longer live on the brink of survival. For the entire human journey until only a few centuries ago, people rarely lived to a ripe old age (about a quarter of Ancient Romans made it to age 45). Today, most of us do. Third Epoch societies were always subjected to the caprice of the weather, in which a bad harvest meant starvation.

    The relatively high status of women in those matrilocal societies was reversed when men began to dominate farming and herding, and women’s status universally declined as they became the broodmares of agrarian civilizations.

    The very first civilizations quickly led to the first empires, as conquering one’s neighbors was common, and with the agricultural energy surplus, enslaving members of other societies became feasible, instead of simply slaughtering them and taking their women. It was only when the machines of industrialization began replacing people that slavery ended. Although forced servitude still exists, it is no longer “normal.”

    To be clear, chimps have war (bonobos do not), hunter-gatherers had war, agrarian subsistence societies had war, as did agrarian civilizations, as do industrial nations. The goals are always the same (the motives are always economic, at their root) of vanquishing one’s neighbors (slaughtering and subjugating), but the methods have been different across the Epochs, which reflects energetic and technological “progress.” There has been an odd but understandable trend in anthropology, to deny that warfare is an old practice, which seems to be a reaction to the world wars. Humans are not hardwired for peace any more than they are hardwired for war. We have the capacity for peace or war, and it never strays far beyond energetic parameters. Where there is plenty, there is peace, and when there is scarcity, there is strife. We have domesticated ourselves and are far less violent than in the past, so our human natures are gentler today. On the nurture side of the issue, neuroscience has established that children raised in adversity (primarily poverty and its resultant hunger, unstable households, and violence) have brains that are damaged for life. Today, we can see peoples who are small in stature, which reflects the food scarcity of agrarian societies (such as Southeast Asia).

    Europe’s rise to global dominance was a long time in coming, beginning with the “medieval industrial revolution” of the High Middle Ages, as exemplified by the watermill, which was the first time that non-muscle power was used on land (invented by the Greeks and used by Rome). A few centuries later, Europe turned the world’s ocean into a low-energy transportation lane and thereby conquered humanity. For the first time, the psychopathy and megalomania of elites could have global aspirations. What I encountered during my adventures was a mature version of it.

    Several of the earliest great American cities were oriented around water power and low-energy transportation lanes, such as Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., and all early American northeast communities had watermills.

    During its global conquest, Europe graduated beyond its mastery of wind and water power to tap the energy of fossil fuels, and the Industrial Revolution resulted. Unfortunately, instead of uplifting humanity with their new capabilities, Europeans enslaved it. But it was still based on scarce economic resources (we are burning fossil fuels a million times as fast as they were created, and reached “peak oil” globally nearly 20 years ago, and we are mining the dregs today), and history’s deadliest wars were fought over imperial plunder rights. In their aftermath, the USA became a global empire like no other, as it subjugated nations in the name of capitalism (actually, we say that we did it to bring them freedom, but only Americans believe that Big Lie). Today, American-based transnational corporations control half of the global economy. That is not due to the virtues of capitalism, but its greed and violence. Corporations are structurally sociopathic organizations, in which profits are everything; they are legally obliged to seek profits above all else.

    So, here we are today, with nuclear war once again on the table, Global Warming galloping along, and species extinctions are rampant, which may get far worse. Israelis are ramping up their genocide of Palestinians, as the region turns into a powder keg once again (all because of oil, of course), as the USA treats the world as its imperial mine, plantation, and sweat shop.

    Are we on the brink of the precipice? Noam sure thinks so. 60 years ago, Fuller said that if humanity did not turn the corner from scarcity to abundance by the 1980s, that humanity’s chances of survival might only be 50%. Here we are, close to the brink, and what can be done? All of those existential problems can be solved nearly overnight, by technologies that are older than I am, but are sequestered from public awareness and use for reasons of power by the global elite. That may be their greatest crime of all, their greatest triumph is making those technologies and their transformative potential unimaginable to the public, and the public obliges them. You have to see it to believe it.

    When I became Dennis’s partner in 1987, we had no idea what we were in for. We had never heard of Tesla, and had no idea that there even was a free energy field. Dennis had just fled his home state, as the local energy interests wiped out the greatest attempt ever made to bring alternative energy to the marketplace, as Dennis put the world’s best heating system (it still is) on people’s homes for free. It was the most brilliant and benevolent business strategy that I ever saw or heard of. But it was not just the local energy gangsters. The Rockefellers got involved, as did the allegedly leading global elite organization. Within a few months of my becoming Dennis’s partner, he fielded what we now know was the friendly buyout offer from the so-called Black Hats, encouraging calls in the night from the so-called White Hats, New England’s electric industry was up in arms about us, and other fun. It was overwhelming, but it was just the warmup. A year later, the CIA offered Dennis a billion dollars to fold the operation, before we got the boom lowered on us, during my life’s worst year. Lives were wrecked and shortened, but the experience, capped off by a radicalizing day on the witness stand, woke me up, and I would never see the world the same away again.

    In 1990, I staggered out of my home town, with my life in ruins, but I had been awakened and had a thirst for the truth, as I realized that nearly everything that I had been taught while growing up was a lie. That was when I discovered Noam and Ed, and began learning at their scholarly feet. I studied many other subjects, and that study has yet to end.

    I not only studied the history of life on Earth and the human journey, but what that has led to in today’s world. Today, Americans are treated to levels of propaganda and censorship that I never witnessed before, and in coming posts, I will briefly discuss several of those situations and their relevance to what I am attempting. In short, the global economy is dominated by several rackets that interlock at the top. The sitting American president is way down the food chain of power on Earth. Ever since JFK’s murder, all American presidents have been puppets and they knew it.

    More is coming soon.

    Best,

    Hi:

    To continue this series of posts, briefly, I am currently reading what may be the best book on the causes of warfare. The author (who wrote this) boils it down like I do. All violence and warfare is ultimately caused by this: life’s compulsion to survive and reproduce in a world of scarcity. If life has to get violent to achieve that, then violence it is. That is the ultimate reason for all violent behavior, including warfare. It really is pretty simple, and there is only one solution to scarcity.

    So, our current “sophistication” as a species has still not moved past survival and reproduction as our root motivations and the cause of our endless wars. Just yesterday, I read this by an author whose work I have used in mine, and the energy theme is familiar. It all rides on the energy issue, as always.

    Here we are, on the edge of the abyss, and virtually nobody on Earth is discussing the solution. When it is brought up, the reactions are nearly all variations of denial and fear. It took me many years to begin to understand what I was seeing. I have known for many years who are the people that I seek, and I know how rare they are. But they are the only people that can help with what I am doing. It does no good to judge that situation. It is just what it is, and always revolves on two issues that Brian and I learned the hard way:
    Even though my life had been wrecked, I had been awakened, and I began those years of study that have not ended. Everything was up for questioning, and I soon began to learn how deeply I had been lied to while growing up, about everything. And it coincided with one of my great nation’s continual wars. The seed of my American Empire essay was planted then. A couple of years later, during the Columbus festivities in 1992, I read Howard Zinn’s work and American Holocaust. In the 30-plus years since then, I have seen nothing that changes the understandings that I gained in those days, and a few examples are in order.

    I also studied the JFK hit evidence in those days, which began with reading Gary’s book. Only in the past several years did I really begin to gain an appreciation of what JFK was doing and why he had to go. Gary wrote that JFK was trying to end the Cold War, and that was why he was killed, and 35 years later, I still see that as the primary reason why he died, but he did so much more that did not endear him to the USA’s ruling class. JFK made anti-imperial speeches in the decade before he became president, and his stances toward Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the domestic economy, civil rights, the environment and consumer rights, and the Soviet Union angered the oligarchy, which had him murdered in a palace coup, and it is covered up to this day. JFK’s murder was an imperial watershed, and all presidents since JFK were disposable puppets and knew it.

    But the American Empire has been in decline, arguably ever since 9/11, which ended its triumphal decade after the Soviet Union collapsed. But the American standard of living has been in decline ever since the USA hit Peak Oil in 1970, and the first energy crisis ended humanity’s most prosperous era. The American invasion of Iraq is the world’s greatest crime of the 21st century so far, and ranks with our many other postwar imperial crimes. And, of course, it was all about the oil, and it has been that way for more than a century. But the invasion of Iraq began our era of “imperial overreach,” as we had difficulty digesting what we conquered.

    If I had to put money on who was behind the JFK hit, David Rockefeller would be my prime suspect. The Rockefellers helped wipe out our efforts, and Rockefeller lackey Allen Dulles covered up the JFK hit. David handpicked every president since JFK until his death, it did not matter if they were Republicans or Democrats, and I’ll just present one example. David Rockefeller, Jimmy Carter, and Zbigniew Brzezinski founded the Trilateral Commission. In 1973, when the Trilateral Commission was founded, Carter was the obscure governor of Georgia and Brzezinski was a little-known academic whose Democratic Party credentials went back to advising JFK when he ran for president. Who would have thought that a few years later, Carter would become president and Brzezinski would run American foreign policy? Brian advised early frontrunner Mo Udall, and then Carter came out of nowhere. Brzezinski is considered the first neocon, and he masterminded baiting the Soviet Union into invading Afghanistan, which initiated a series of catastrophes for the Afghani people that lasts to this day.

    Brzezinski’s professional descendants included the Bush family (Rockefeller lackeys since the 1800s) and people such as Madeleine Albright and Victoria Nuland, who handpicked the first post-coup leader of Ukraine. What a rogues’ gallery, which keeps sowing disaster for the Empire’s pawns and targets.

    George Washington called the USA an infant empire, and he made the blueprint to steal a continent, which Wikipedia still cannot bring itself to mention. The USA is the empire that pretends that it is not one, but is instead some beacon of freedom.

    What is happening in Israel today is the result of more oil politics, as the USA has given Israel hundreds of billions of dollars since JFK’s murder (he was the last president to stand up to Israel), as they have been the West’s imperial outpost in Oil Country.

    We have fancied ourselves as some great humanitarian nation, although the facts do not support that idea. Growing up in the Empire was quite an experience, and it is easy to remain asleep. The inducements to swallow my indoctrination were manifold, as I am a member of history’s most privileged demographic group: a white, straight, educated, American baby boomer man.

    Today, I am well aware of the rackets that control the world economy, and how they interlock at the top. Some I know better than others, although I have connections to all of them, and some are quite intimate. In coming posts I will just deal with a few of them: energy, medicine, and the media. On Day One, all of the rackets will begin to collapse, and nobody will miss them.

    Best,

    Here is an outstanding documentary on Royal Raymond Rife, his incredible microscopes, and his ability to view living bacteria and viruses with specific visible colors of light, as he scanned through a range of visible and non-visible frequencies, to determine which frequencies would kill specific bacteria and viruses, as he watched them alive, under his microscope.

    Thanks Paul:

    The fate of Rife and his microscope was very similar to Dennis and his heat pump. I can’t watch documentaries that do not have closed captions, alas. Superior, racket-ending technologies were wiped out by the rackets, smeared by the media, etc., so that in the halls of orthodoxy, they never existed or were dismissed as fraudulent. Oh, the price that humanity has paid for all of that racketeering.

    Hi:

    I’ll see if I can keep this from becoming a rant. I have written about the failings of Scientific American before. I subscribe to it to keep abreast of mainstream science, but it is corrupt. Pfizer and other biomedical companies have “sponsored” entire sections of Scientific American issues, going back several years, when Scientific American changed its business model. Medical science is the most corrupt branch of science, and the biomedical takeover of Scientific American is like how Big Pharma took over the medical journals, turning them into propaganda organs. In recent years, I have repeatedly seen Scientific American articles discuss “anti-vaxxers” and flat earthers in the same sentence (at least they did not also throw in Holocaust Deniers ), as Scientific American has become a biomedical propaganda rag. I’ll probably keep subscribing to it, like Noam probably still reads the New York Times each morning.

    That new series of posts that I am working on shows what I have been up to lately, and the issues of human evolution and the hunter-gather phase of the human journey have been central to my work lately, as well as the roots of warfare. Yesterday, I read an article in the new issue of Scientific American, the cover story, actually. Not only has Scientific American been corrupted, it has gone woke. The cover story is about killing the “myth” of Man the Hunter. Challenging the received wisdom is what good science is about. You can see the woke passage in the article, but I’ll reproduce it here:


    “For ethnographic and archaeological evidence, we are attempting to reconstruct social roles, for which the terms ‘woman’ and ‘man’ are usually used. Unfortunately, both these word sets assume a binary, which does not exist biologically, psychologically or socially. Sex and gender both exist as a spectrum, but when citing the work of others, it is difficult to add that nuance.”


    For mammals, sex does not exist in a spectrum. It is a binary, set at conception. There are some rare genetic diseases that can muddy the “binary” waters, but that is not what the (female) authors are referring to. Nature magazine also went woke, with the same “non-binary” nonsense, as the trans craze marches on.

    I regularly see “iconoclastic” works that make a media splash, but when I got into the details, there could be far less than met the eye to them, and so it is with the attacks on the “Man the Hunter” myth. I read up a lot more than that article on the case that is being made, but it is a mess, as far as who is arguing for what. Homo erectus seems to have had reduced dimorphism, which is thought to be due to pair-bonding: the beginning of the nuclear family.

    Gorillas (males 60% larger), chimps (25% - which is standard for primates), and humans (15%) are progressively less dimorphic. But today’s men are twice as strong in the upper body as women are (and it was more pronounced in the past), which has always been why men’s strength has been exploited, and it came in very handy for hunting big game and managing herd animals. This paper, for instance, is worthless on the evolutionary issue of the sexual division of labor in the human line, as it only deals with hunting and gathering with behaviorally modern humans (in the last 10,000 years, actually). Yes, when technology improved, such as the invention of projectile weapons, women could become big-game hunters, at least some of them. But until then, it was likely men’s business, and the same tools for big-game hunting were used for warfare, and nobody disputes that men dominated that endeavor.

    I am all for hypotheses and evidence that challenge the prominent thinking, but what we are seeing today is a lot of wokeness, and that is too bad, as ideology trumps the evidence.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    This will be another twofer post, so I can get in the pics. My neighborhood is beautiful year-round, but autumn is a special time. From when those leaves begin to turn on those red trees to when the leaves are down lasts only about two weeks. I went on my favorite larch hike this year, here. I have to go during the week to avoid the hordes, but it was still crowded. This year, I did something that I have not done before, and explored the mountainside on a side of the lake that I had not hiked before. I wandered alone through larch groves for a half-hour. It was a sublime experience, and the larch needles covered the ground, like a golden carpet, in places. Sometimes, it rained larch needles. In its own way, it was as dazzling as the hike from the week before.

    Last week, I did a hike with my college roomie to a lake that we had not visited in 15 years. It has its own sandy beach, which I have not seen for any other high lake. It was a gorgeous day, we got it in early, and met the crowds coming in as we hiked out.

    I’ll get out this week, that will likely be it for the high country this year, and then it will be back to hiking the local mountains until spring, which is like visiting an old friend. I get more joy hiking the local stuff, because I do more of it, than I do the spectacular high country. It is all good.

    With Global Warming and an El Niño year, we might not get much snow this winter.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    I have already written on it in this series of posts, and will write plenty on it in my upcoming essay, but I want to write a short post, to settle this matter for now. That book that I am currently reading calls those “peacenik” anthropologists “quasi-Rousseauians,” as they promote the “peaceful savage” meme. There have been many global surveys of “primitive” peoples (pre-civilized), and anthropologists have made a show of seeking out peoples who might have been representative of the prehistoric human past. But as that author noted, the best evidence that we have was in “labs” of isolated cultures when they met modern peoples. He used Australia for mobile (AKA “simple”) hunter-gatherers, the Pacific Northwest Culture for sedentary hunter-gatherers (AKA “complex”), and the best example of subsistence farmers was Highland New Guinea, which I wrote about earlier. All three cultures were “pristine,” with no outside influences, when modern peoples began intruding. All three were extremely violent and warlike when white people arrived. The Pacific Northwest Culture had slaves, as they only made economic sense in sedentary populations that could rob neighboring societies of their people.

    As I wrote in the previous post, our biological compulsion to survive and reproduce in a world of scarcity is the ultimate cause behind all violence and warfare. I know how to solve the scarcity issue.

    So, the quasi-Rousseauian idea of peaceful prehistoric peoples is wrong, but I can understand the sentiment, which, like postmodernism, arose from the traumas of the world wars. People wanted to believe in a peaceful past, and they have concocted fantasies about those days. There were golden ages, but they were all short-lived.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    As I wrote, I am just going to deal with a few of the rackets for now, the three that I know best: energy, medicine, and the media. I’ll start with the media, as it enables all of the others through its propaganda and censorship.

    During my first stint with Dennis, I began to understand what a tower of lies the media is, and soon after Dennis got out of solitary confinement, I read an LA Times “investigative” article on us, and when I finished reading it, I said to myself, “They can simply make it up as they go.” It was not an unusual article. It was around the same time that I first heard of Noam. The next year, I began learning at Noam and Ed’s scholarly feet. In those days, I studied everything. What came through very clearly was that most of what I had been taught while young was not true. It began early on, such as going to a grade school named for a genocidist who became a saint. It carried on through my college diploma, as I was not taught about the fatal conflict of interest in the profession that I was about to enter. The history that I was taught was a series of lies. The media really is only part of the system of deception – the lies about today, instead of the lies about the past in my history “education.”

    Before I get to the media’s influence in the energy and medical rackets, I’ll briefly cover the other rackets and the service that the media provides. The American media has never met a war that it did not like, as it cheers all American wars, no matter how evil. The Empire has slaughtered millions, and the media has swept it all under the rug. The CIA is spook central and is fundamentally evil, but you will rarely hear about it in the media. The CIA and Pentagon keep the world safe for Wall Street’s profits, as we plunder the world. In the Fifth Epoch, there will not be money, and banks will go the way of institutional slavery. I am attaching a recent Mercola article on how all wars these days are banker wars, as war is insanely profitable, at least, if you are on the right end of the weaponry (it is better to give than receive, militarily ). Hollywood is a key player in the brainwashing, and always casts the military and spooks in the best light.

    But the media does not just concoct and promote lies (including book publishers); it also censors the truth, and usually by private interests, not the government, as Noam and Ed learned the hard way.

    Ed developed the Propaganda Model, which arose from his professional studies of corporations, especially financial institutions. Ed thought that his main contribution was showing how the media operates and serves elite interests, producing similar results to the media of “totalitarian” nations.

    As Ed and Noam long discussed, the media produces its propaganda via many techniques. One is that it appears to be liberal, to provide the illusion that anything to the “left” of “liberal” opinion could be safely dismissed, and it never reports on those “wacky” facts and ideas. As I recently linked to, Noam noted that the American media never calls our invasion of Iraq an invasion. Just like with Vietnam. We instead are spreading freedom with our bombs and napalm, invited by our victims. Orwell wrote about it long ago, and was censored for his trouble.

    On to the media and its role in energy and medicine. I’ll start with medicine first, as it was in our face like never before in recent years. Nearly everything that Americans were told about the COVID pandemic was a lie. From how it began (likely from an American-funded lab), to how all early treatments were attacked and banned, to make way for the worthless, deadly, and lucrative vaccines. Anything that contradicted the propaganda, even coming from Nobel Laureates with expertise in this area, was censored. We saw the rise of “fact-checking” organizations that attacked anything that contradicted to dogma. Lawsuits have begun. From the beginning, I knew that the media would lie about everything related to the pandemic, and I knew that the numbers would be cooked, on cases, cause of death, and the like. I knew that the only number that would make it through the system, that the medical racketeers would have a hard time manipulating, was life expectancy, and just as I thought it would, American life expectancy plummeted during the pandemic and continues to drop, which is unique among industrial nations. Of course, the media is doing its best to spin it and cover it up, but the stark numbers can be seen by anybody.

    Again, the media is one part of what I’ll call the information business, which begins with grade-school indoctrination and conditioning, and carries through to people’s graves. There are many prongs of the informational aspect of the medical racket, such as banning books, and the banned information is now embraced by orthodoxy.

    As with all of the rackets, they thrive off of conflicts of interest. Big Pharma funds 70% of TV advertising, so, of course, the TV media will simply be a Big Pharma propaganda conduit. The print media is no better, or the social media, etc. They all operate similarly. For instance, Google is heavily invested in vaccines, so anything that challenged vaccine propaganda was ranked to oblivion, like my bio of Ed was.

    Advertising is a key filter in the Propaganda Model, and the media and medical racket connection is old and sordid, pioneered by the face of Western medicine a century ago.

    Many tenets of orthodox medicine are gloriously false. Western medicine is good at emergency medicine, but worthless for almost everything else, especially the chronic diseases that come from our diets, as they vend their lucrative, worthless, and often deadly treatments. Big Food and Big Pharma are partners in milking processed-food-addicted Americans to their early graves, and they line up for it. The media plays a key role, as it does for all of the rackets.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hello Paul, hope your doing well. Im not sure if you are aware that this didnt end in the 30,s and 40,s John Bedini along with Dr Robert Strecker,John Crane and other experts in their respective fields went to work in the early 80,s in Bedinis lab with the original RifeNo#3 universal microscope with the idea to get it working, they did not succeed, but what they did succeed in was replicating Rifes work to destroy bacteria, virus etc using modern methods circuts, its a very interesting story, which ended up pretty much the same as Wades work with Dennis did, with the same type of perpertrators at the Helm. Bedini passed away 6 years ago in kinda strange circumstances and Dr Robert Strecker died just before Covid in an automobile accident........but before Bedini passed his last device he built was a Rife type device which hits all of rifes frequencies and a few he didnt mention, it was not analogue like Rifes, it more digital and has been simplified with modern tech, Cheers.

    Once some invading Satanic evil bastards are rooted up and removed, healing our planet, then good work like this will flourish. For now, it just survives in the shadows.

    Hi

    I am still working on that series of posts, and this is germane, but maybe a little jumbled. In Gat’s book on war, which is the best book that I have seen on its causes, there was a statistical issue that I want to comment on. I already mentioned that about 30% of chimp males die violently, while “only” about 20% of hunter-gatherer men did. In studied pre-civilized societies, the boy-girl ratio was about 127:100 in favor of boys, because of female infanticide (there is evidence that this practice extends well back into the Paleolithic). Boys were more valued, as hunters, warriors, and field hands, which was all about their physical strength. And only half of those children survived to adulthood.

    But in those same “primitive” societies, fertile women were coveted, because of that female infanticide, so men would mount raids on neighboring societies, to slaughter the men and steal the women. So, by those child-bearing years, the male-female ratio tended to even out. This is thought to be a Malthusian mechanism that maintained the population of those societies within the land’s carrying capacity. That is one way to do it!

    That situation brings up the twin issues of human integrity and sentience, or the lack thereof. The integrity issue is really rearing its head these days. As I recently wrote, Noam calls out the servility of intellectuals to power, and noted that it has always been this way. Noam has discussed the “prophets” of the Old Testament, who also called out the hypocrisy of their times. To the present day, such dissidents are rare and punished for their dissidence. The Good Old Days of being crucified are over for now. Noam has called out servile intellectuals since his first political essay of note, back in 1967. Most of Noam’s writings in the 56 years since then on the subject have shown the lack of integrity (or sentience) in intellectuals. Noam is an intellectual, so he knows intellectuals best, but he has merely described a variation of my journey’s primary lesson. That lack of integrity extends to all walks of life, in a world of scarcity and fear.

    Similarly, Sam Husseini wrote an article yesterday that discussed the actual genocide that Israel is inflicting in Gaza. The parallels with the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and Nazi liquidation are eerie. “Only” 13,000 Jews died in that event, while over two million Gazans are at risk today. The gist of Sam’s article is that the entire world is standing by and watching what the Israelis are doing, from the useless “Squad” to Western nations that are cheering on the Israelis to corrupt Arab states, China, Russia, Christian churches, and so on, who will do nothing. Few officials on Earth are standing up for Gazans. This is simply my journey’s primary lesson writ large. Grim times, but I know a way out, maybe the only way out.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi Reinhard:

    Those September and October hikes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) turned this year’s hiking season from a good one into a great one; one of my best ever, rivaling 2021 in ways, and in some ways better. Whatever the deal with my “friends” is, I have had rich compensation for my journey, in many ways. No complaints.

    Best,
