    Hi Karl:

    I have some time to keep going on responding to your post. You won’t find me challenging orthodox science and physics with YouTube clips and Ted talks. Ted is infotainment, and while people are welcome to challenge the Big Bang with YouTube clips, my work aims far higher than that. You will rarely see me refer to YouTube, especially to challenge orthodox science and physics. That is not really the best venue for it. As I stated before, all sorts of amateurs and non-astronomers and non-physicists are out there, challenging everything about orthodox physics, from the Big Bang onward, there is a whole Electric Universe movement (all amateurs), etc., etc. I am sure not going to convince anybody of any of that and am sure not going to grind any of those unorthodox axes. My goals are far more modest on the physics front.

    Standard thermodynamics, the kind that students learn in the first week of class, easily explains why Dennis Lee sold the world’s best heating system. There is nothing exotic about it. My mentor’s engine is also not hard to understand. I admit that marrying both technologies to produce free energy goes off the thermodynamics reservation, and that could be why that rocket scientist kicked me out of his home. It met with that rocket scientist within a week or so of hearing about Sparky Sweet. Sparky had the goods, and what my friend saw in his underground demonstration was stuff like Sparky’s gizmo that had been taken to a commercial level. Sparky spun his own theories about how his gizmo worked, but the important thing was that it worked. I seek people who are worldly enough to understand organized suppression and the idea of suppressed exotic technology does not blow their minds, but they can also keep their feet on the ground and not disappear down fringe rabbit holes to nowhere. As I have written, there are many alternative physics models out there, and they are not all right. I really don’t care to get into all of those alternative models, other than to note that people such as David Bohm, who was Einstein’s protégé, thought that free energy was possible, if we could find a way to tap it. My point is more that people who dismiss free energy as some crank stuff need to explain away Einstein’s protégé.

    So, on to your post. Actually, even chemosynthetic organisms rely on sunlight, although indirectly. Without the Sun, there would not be any life on Earth.

    Yes, gut bacteria are anaerobes, but as I wrote, most anaerobes live below Earth’s surface, something like 99.9999+% of them.

    On iron and fusion, yes, the energy is not there in the Sun’s fusion processes to make elements heavier than iron. It takes cataclysmic processes (star collisions, supernovas, etc.), to make the heavier elements, under orthodox physics. According to orthodox physics, all elements heavier than hydrogen on Earth are detritus from previous stars (stardust! ).

    This sentence in my essay reads fine to me:

    “The first animals on land were also arthropods such as scorpions and spiders – insects came later.”

    Insects are arthropods that came later than scorpions and spiders.

    On 30% oxygen, that sentence linked to the references. There is nothing too controversial about that, although some scientists challenge all of the reconstructions, as they play contrarians. However, the evidence is robust for ice ages and hot periods, and the hot periods align with volcanism and the carbon dioxide that they belched out. The evidence is also robust that all of that carbon burial in the Carboniferous (which is where the name came from ), with those first forests, is what spiked the oxygen levels. Also, so much carbon was buried that the carbon dioxide levels crashed, which brought on an ice age. Ancient oxygen levels comprise a huge issue today. Some argue that the Ediacaran would not have happened without sufficient oxygen levels. Others argue that without those high oxygen levels, fish would not have made it to land and started the evolutionary path to humans. These are big subjects, which I have followed for many years. The last chapter on those scientific debates has not been written, if it ever will be. I love studying stuff like that.

    I have run out of time for today, but I’ll continue to reply to your thoughtful post, and finish with the kind of conversation that I am looking for. Thanks again for replying.

    Best,

    Wade

    From Substack:

    At 4 AM this morning, I lied awake in bed, composing a post about Gary Wean, who is in my pantheon. Ed Herman and Noam Chomsky are also in it. Gary was about as right wing as it gets, while Ed and Noam epitomized the left in ways. Gary has been called an anti-Semite and he originated the “Israel did it” hypothesis of the JFK assassination, while Ed and Noam were/are Jews. I’ll take heroism where I find it.

    Gary is not the only right winger in my pantheon, as Dennis Lee and my professor-partner also hailed from the right wing. As I reflected on that situation, especially in the wake of Donald Trump’s electoral victory, I decided to make a post on the USA’s peculiar political environment. There has never been anything quite like it in world history.

    What I found helpful in understanding this situation is the Epochal framework that I developed to view the human journey, which is based on humanity’s energy practices. The USA is history’s richest and most powerful nation primarily because Anglo-Americans invaded and stole a rich continent with prodigious energy resources. Originally they plundered the vast forests and intact soils of the Eastern Woodlands, but the invasion coincided with England’s rise to industrialization. The USA’s industrial ascent began with the watermill economy that dominated England, along with history’s most dramatic deforestation. As eastern temperate North America was shorn of its forests, then the USA quickly discovered, as England had long ago, huge coal deposits to exploit. Less than a century into that process, the extraction of the USA’s huge oil deposits began, and the USA quickly rode those energy sources into becoming history’s richest and most powerful nation. There really is nothing to compare it to in world history, and the rest of the world has been playing catchup.

    The transition from agrarian (Third Epoch) to industrial (Fourth Epoch) economies is the most dramatic shift in the human journey, and the USA uniquely straddled that progression. On the eve of the USA’s Civil War, the North had a rapidly industrializing economy that had abolished slavery, which was an agrarian institution that did not make economic sense in industrial economies, while the South had an agrarian economy that relied on slave labor. The South never stood a chance. I do not know of a more dramatic contrast of the Epochs than that.

    The USA was busily finishing its theft of a continent and industrializing in the last half of the 19th century, while Europe was divvying up the Eastern Hemisphere, as Europe rode industrialization to world conquest. Farmers have always been the ideal soldiers, because their hard lives suited them for the rigors of war campaigning. With a huge continent to fill with farmers, once the natives were eradicated, the USA had a tremendous pool of farmers to draw upon for its wars. To this day, rural America fields a disproportionate share of the USA’s soldiers. My father, Dennis, and my professor were all raised on farms and became soldiers. They all had a certain naïve farmer honesty about them, which was part of their virtue, and they all were harshly disabused of their naïveté. They were all right wingers in ways. Dennis’s migrant-farmworker roots were evident in everything that he did. My professor taught accounting, would be called a paleoconservative today, and was a believer in corporate America, at least until his life-ruining and life-shortening experiences in Ventura. My father’s father had a Quaker heritage. Quakers were among the West’s first “progressives,” as pacifist abolitionists. My grandfather was president of Seattle’s painters union, and my father became a right-wing Democrat, which brings to mind Gore Vidal’s observation that the USA has one political party with two right wings.

    That Epochal framework makes clear that as humanity’s energy surplus rose over the Epochs, human societies became more humane, because they could afford to be. Violence and warfare has commensurately declined. But because the industrial Epoch is so young, and most of humanity still lives in predominantly agrarian societies, the transition to the industrial epoch is still happening, as agrarian religions are still prominent, the mistreatment of women is ongoing, and other vestiges of agrarian societies are evident. Radical feminists see the trans craze as a patriarchal rear-guard action on women, to eliminate women altogether, and I think that they are right.

    The American political environment is a bizarre stew, as the empire totters. But perhaps the strangest part of all is that my journey taught me that the political system that we see, which I call the retail political system, is mostly for show. The people who really run the world are unaccountable elites that nobody has ever heard of. Americans who sit in their cubicles, work in factories, watch TV, read the newspapers, surf the Internet's mainstream sites, or engage the retail political system will never encounter the elites who really run the world. But if they are astronauts who put on UFO conferences, or businessmen who put the world’s best heating system on people’s homes for free, then pursue free energy, which would end the world as we know it, then the global elite intervene and the life expectancies of their targets are dramatically reduced. Brian O’Leary’s and my professor’s lives were shortened, as Dennis’s wife’s was, and Dennis should be dead dozens of times over. I survived my adventures because I was young when I had them. That is what playing on the high road is like, and that was too traumatic for me.

    As I continue with these posts on the lives of the great, they all hailed from various points on the retail political spectrum, from far left to far right, to down-the-middle mainstream. I think that it is more useful to see the issue as whether people are being self-serving or other-serving. That is the divide that matters, which separates the saints from the criminals. The left is ideally more spiritually mature, as it leans toward other-serving activities, but some of the greatest humans that I ever knew hailed from the right. As astute observers have stated, our political spectrum is not really left and right, but our system operates in top-down fashion. Ed’s Propaganda Model was all about how the media serves elite interests at the expense of accurately informing the public, and Noam said that all intellectuals in capitalist societies do that, with few exceptions.

    This post only scratches the surface of these issues, but it can help to keep them in mind when reading my work, which is not easy to categorize into our popular definitions.

    From Substack:

    Trump’s foreign-policy picks so far have been disastrous. I am praying that we avoid nuclear war, and everything else is the small stuff.

    That aside, today’s announcement that Trump will nominate RFK, Jr., as the head of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) took me by surprise. My relationship to the Kennedy family is complex. I worked for them the day before I became Dennis Lee’s partner. A few months later, RFK, Jr.’s older brother called our office to insult Dennis. Two years later, I learned from Gary Wean that JFK was killed in a backfired CIA operation, and if JFK was killed in a conspiracy, then Bobby almost certainly was. In the 35 years since I read Gary’s account of the JFK hit, I never saw a piece of credible evidence contradict it, and many documents that have been declassified since Gary published his book have confirmed it, and perhaps the Operation Northwoods document most spectacularly. In 2013, RFK, Jr., made the first public admission by a member of the Kennedy family that Bobby never believed the Warren Commission’s findings. RFK, Jr., had my respect for that. All that I knew about him before 2013 was that he had a heroin addiction while young.

    When the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, I soon began reading his organization’s site, and I still consider it to be the best single source of information on the pandemic. When I read his book on Anthony Fauci, he entered my pantheon. When he ran for president, I was very interested, but when he supported Israel during its ongoing genocide in Gaza, I was appalled. Why is he in the Israeli lobby’s hip pocket? That situation led to speculation on Israel’s possible role in the JFK hit (and Bobby’s murder). Gary was the originator of the “Israel did it” hypothesis on the JFK hit. I reviewed a recent book on that hypothesis. My take is that while Israel was certainly a beneficiary of the JFK hit and may well have been involved at some level (Mickey Cohen was a close associate of both Menachem Begin and Jack Ruby), if I had to bet, my money for who was ultimately behind it is on the Eastern Oligarchy and Military Industrial Complex.

    The original Watergate attorney heard from E. Howard Hunt, who ran the operation that got JFK killed, that JFK was killed over the ET issue, which makes sense to me. It was likely related to JFK’s attempts to end the Cold War. I suspect that it was related to his planned joint mission to the Moon with the Soviet Union, which would have gone a long way toward ending the Cold War. In my opinion, the American presidency was permanently demoted with JFK’s murder. All presidents since JFK were puppets and knew it, as the message was loud-and-clear to all subsequent presidential aspirants: “You are expendable.”

    My previous post was on the USA’s peculiar political environment, and how retail politics is all for show, as the people who really run the world are unaccountable elites whom the public has never heard of. Next to the energy racket, which ruined my life, I know the medical racket the best. I was introduced to the medical racket at age 12, when my family changed its diet from processed food to whole food to save my father’s health, which resulted in a health miracle. While Dennis was in jail with his million-dollar bail, after he rejected the CIA’s billion-dollar offer to fold our operation, I went to work for a medical lab and watched the same kind of governmental/media alliance attack my company, just as it did Dennis’s and my company, which was years before I ever heard of Ed Herman.

    I wrote my medical racket essay around 2000, about two years after I wrote my fluoridation essay. I never thought that I would live to see what is happening as I write this.

    If Kennedy becomes the HHS head, I will expect him to send a wrecking ball through the USA’s medical bureaucracy, but Big Pharma will not go quietly. Today I read many articles on fluoridation that are being cranked out by the media. I have yet to see one of them mention ALCOA, Harold Hodge, and the stunning conflicts of interest of the scientists involved with fluoridation. I wrote on this at Substack recently, after a courtroom victory that I never expected that I would live to see.

    In short, fluoride is a deadly industrial waste that received a makeover into a tooth’s best friend by scientists who worked for fluoride polluters. There is no credible support that fluoridation reduces tooth decay, and overwhelming evidence that it is an enzyme poison, damages DNA, causes brain damage, and has other deleterious health effects, including wrecking the teeth.

    I recently wrote about the degenerative-disease and infectious-disease rackets, which the media is fervently defending today. Virtually all Western medical interventions are worthless and often kill the patients. Western medicine is good at emergency medicine, which was developed on battlefields, and not much else. What I have also yet to see in this media blitz is that even among the defenders of science, medical science is seen as its flimsiest and most corrupt branch.

    There is no credible evidence that vaccination ever conquered a disease, no credible safety testing has ever been performed on the vaccines given to American children today, and those vaccines are likely greatly responsible for the skyrocketing chronic diseases in American children, which Fauci refused to investigate even after being ordered to by Congress.

    Improvements in sanitation, nutrition, and hygiene, which were all side effects of the Industrial Revolution, conquered infectious disease in industrialized nations, not medical interventions. All degenerative diseases are primarily caused by the metabolic disease that comes from eating processed food, and all that orthodox medical interventions for degenerative disease do is manage symptoms, but they comprise 75% of the USA’s medical bill, which is the highest on Earth, by far, while the USA has the worst health (history’s most obese society, for starters) and lowest life expectancy of all industrialized nations. What is wrong with that picture?

    I was not expecting the medical racket to truly be challenged until the arrival of the Fifth Epoch collapses all rackets. We will see what actually gets done, but what I see happening today is extraordinary.

    Best,

    Wade

    From Substack:

    Gary Wean was one of the heroes of my journey. Like so many of us, Gary’s life was hard to believe. Gary’s book was similar to Dennis Lee’s, in that Gary only wrote it when he slowed down enough so that he could do it. Dennis’s most significant books were written from behind bars and his wife typed them up. Gary’s was written between customers at his business, after he was railroaded out of his policeman’s career, and his wife typed it up.

    This post will be on Gary’s early years. He was born in the Midwest, Iowa as I recall, in 1921. Like nearly all American men born around then, Gary served in World War II. Gary was a naval gunner who fought in the Pacific Theater, and like so many men who did that, Gary never made it back home and stayed on the West Coast. Gary became an LA policeman in 1946. Gary had various jobs at the LAPD, including traffic cop, detective, and most famously, he put Mickey Cohen under surveillance. Cohen worked for Al Capone early in his career and ran the Mob scene in LA. One of his close associates was Bugsy Siegel, who “built” Las Vegas, and Cohen is credited with inventing the Las Vegas race wire, for betting on horse races. My stepfather was part of that milieu, as a Frank Sinatra sound-alike with his own lounge act. On one of Frank’s records, it is my stepfather singing, not Frank.

    As Gary discovered in the first year of his police career, the horseraces were rigged, as Cohen demonstrated to Gary at Hollywood Park, when Gary directed traffic there. While directing traffic at Hollywood Park, Gary saw Cohen with a man with who he later learned was Jack Ruby, and Gary had a conversation with Ruby once on the Mob’s plans for New Orleans and Havana. Ruby was not the two-bit nightclub owner that the Warren Commission portrayed him as, but he was a high-ranking mobster who also worked for Al Capone early in his career.

    Just like in the movies, Cohen hung out at racetracks, boxing arenas, bars, ethnic restaurants, and the like. A member of Cohen’s entourage was Harry Pregerson, who Gary saw in Cohen’s company, and Gary thought that Cohen paid for Pregerson’s law school. It was Gary’s first brush with Jewish-gangster judges and attorneys.

    Pregerson eventually became a federal judge in the most corrupt federal court in the USA – the Ninth Circuit District Court. I have noticed that the greatest criminals invest great effort in cultivating a reputation for honesty, philanthropy, and the like. Some of the greatest criminals on Earth style themselves as “humanitarians,” and the USA’s adoption of the “humanitarian intervention” rubric for its imperial interventions is a classic gangster tactic. Pregerson said that his conscience was his guide. Several years ago, I was approached by the original Watergate attorney, who had kept an eye on Pregerson since the 1970s, as he witnessed one of Pregerson’s judicial irregularities.

    Dealing with the escapades of politicians, gangsters, and Hollywood celebrities was Gary’s daily life at the LAPD. The movie LA Confidential was kind of a biography of Gary, but he didn’t get the happy ending. In those early years, Gary became close friends with Audie Murphy, the USA’s most decorated World War II hero who became a movie star. Murphy married a Hollywood actress, owned racehorses, and flew his own private plane, living that glamorous Hollywood life. Gary moonlighted as Murphy’s bodyguard.

    Gary was making life difficult for LA gangsters, and Pregerson was able to get Gary fired from his LAPD job, which is when Gary first moved to Ventura County, where our paths would eventually cross.

    After a few years in Ventura County, Gary got a job back in LA as an investigator for LA’s district attorney, and he soon put Cohen under surveillance again. One of Cohen’s specialties was blackmailing people. One of Cohen’s hoods was Johnny Stompanato, the Italian Stallion of the Hollywood scene. Cohen arranged for Stompanato to meet Lana Turner, who had a very healthy libido and was swept off her feet by Stompanato’s lovemaking skills. Cohen arranged for the lovers to stay at a Malibu cottage for a weekend, and Cohen put a hidden microphone in their bed. Cohen made a record of their lovemaking sessions, which became a hit at Hollywood parties. When Turner’s daughter killed Stompanato, that record became a “must have” item, and Cohen sold thousands more records of the lovers.

    Jack Nicholson’s character in Chinatown was partly based on Fred Otash. To get a flavor of how Gary wrote, he described Otash as, “without any equal, the most conniving, thieving, lying shamus the Hollywood scene ever experienced.” Otash also worked with Confidential magazine, a tabloid, which was the inspiration for LA Confidential. Otash tried to wreck a courtroom appearance that Gary made in a case that Melvin Belli worked on, in a Hollywood-party setup, but Gary did not take the bait.

    During his surveillance activities, Gary discovered that one of Cohen’s close associates was Menachem Begin, the mass murderer who won a Nobel Peace Prize as Israel’s prime minster. Begin was a regular visitor who availed himself of Cohen’s hookers. Cohen and Begin would meet in a Yiddish diner and speak Yiddish. Gary had a Yiddish-speaking informant who he had sit in the booth next to Cohen and Begin, and Gary was also able to record their conversations.

    The 1960 Democratic National Convention, at which JFK was announced as the democratic candidate for president, was held in LA, where JFK met Marilyn Monroe at a wild party that his in-law, Peter Lawford, threw at his Malibu home, replete with high-class hookers. Gary looked in on that party. Lawford was a member of the Rat Pack. The legend was that Frank Sinatra introduced Monroe to JFK, but Gary knew that Joey Bishop, under the orders of Cohen, convinced fellow Rat Pack member Lawford to throw the party and have Monroe there. Their plan was to get a reading on JFK’s intentions for Israel, and they were using Monroe as the highest-class hooker on Earth to seduce JFK and get him talking after sex. JFK was a legendary philanderer, they figured that JFK would easily fall for Monroe’s charms, and they were right.

    Gary saw Otash as he tried to bug Lawford’s home, and Cohen tried to get a recording of JFK and Monroe in bed, like he did with Stompanato and Turner, to blackmail JFK. Gary thought that Otash was not successful, but Otash seems to have gotten a movie of JFK, RFK, and Monroe in a ménage à trois, which was nearly actioned off publicly in 2014 before an anonymous bidder obtained it. That took a lot of brass, to try to blackmail the sitting president.

    Gary wrote that Cohen, Begin, and Ruby were all part of that Monroe situation. Gary was sure that Monroe was murdered by Cohen’s underlings, as they were concerned that she might talk about what had happened. Gary named names. In his surveillance activities, Gary found that Cohen and Begin were obsessed with JFK and his intentions for Israel. Cohen was an arms dealer for Israel and even “donated” a warship to Israel.

    There are many funny moments in Gary’s book, such as when he tailed some of Cohen’s hoods to a restaurant, where they met with Ventura County’s leading land baron, Martin (“Bud”) Smith. I grew up in a bowling alley in Smith’s development, only a few miles from my home (my mother worked there). Before I ever met Dennis, my father told me that people who crossed Smith simply disappeared. At the restaurant, Gary noticed some DEA agents there. While Gary was tailing Cohen’s hoods, the DEA was tailing Smith to the same meeting. Smith made it big in the drug trade, but the Feds could never catch him and Smith became a noted “philanthropist.”

    That was quite a milieu to run around in, but what happened in 1963 made that all pale to insignificance, and that comes in the next post.

    From Substack:

    There is nobody in the USA today like Audie Murphy. He is representative of a bygone era. Born into poverty, he lied about his age when he was 16 (and an orphan) to enlist in the military, he performed all of his feats on the battlefield before he was 20, and he became the most decorated American soldier ever. There is nobody in the USA today who would receive the kind of instant respect, even reverence, from men of his generation that Murphy had. Murphy was raised near Dallas and after the war he became friends with Bill Decker, a famous lawman who helped end Bonnie and Clyde’s crime spree. Decker became the sheriff of Dallas County, and when Murphy married a Hollywood actress, Decker presided over the wedding.

    Their World War II experiences were surely relevant to the friendship that Murphy developed with Gary Wean. As I previously noted, Gary moonlighted as Murphy’s bodyguard. The below comes from the chapter in Gary’s book on the issue. When Decker came to town on business periodically, Gary reserved a table at the L.A. Police Academy, and Murphy and Decker would have lunch with Gary. Lee Harvey Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby while being transferred to Decker’s custody. In December 1963, only a couple of weeks after JFK was murdered, Decker came to LA. Decker, Murphy, Gary, and his investigative partner at the district attorney’s office had lunch at the Police Academy.

    There was only one topic of conversation at their lunch: there was no way that Oswald could have put two bullets in JFK from that book depository window with that cheap Italian rifle. They were all proficient with firearms, and Murphy and Decker were rifle experts. Their unanimous conclusion was that Oswald could not have done it. Decker then told them that he knew that Oswald did not do it, he had a friend in Dallas who knew that Oswald did not do it, and but he was afraid to approach any officials. Decker said that he might meet with Murphy, and they ended their lunch. A few days later, Gary got a call from Murphy, who asked if Gary wanted to meet with Decker’s friend. In mid-December, 1963, Murphy flew Gary and his investigative partner to Ruidoso, New Mexico, in his private plane, to meet with Decker’s friend. They met Decker at the airport and went to a diner to meet with Decker’s friend, who got right down to business.

    In the original 1987 edition of his book, Gary disguised his identity, but in his 1996 edition, because he was dead by then, Gary identified Decker’s friend as John Tower, the Senator from Texas whom George H.W. Bush nominated to be the Secretary of Defense, but who was shot down in the confirmation hearings. Tower died two years later in a plane crash, 20 years after Murphy was killed in a plane crash, and Gary doubted that they were random deaths.

    According to Tower, Oswald was a military-intelligence operative whose “communist” fascination and affiliation were part of his career path, to create fake communist credentials so that he could infiltrate communist organizations. Oswald’s “defection” to the Soviet Union (and his threat to reveal national-security secrets) was likely part of a naval program of fake defectors. Oswald’s defection was the greatest Marine defection during the entire Cold War. Less than three years later, Oswald returned to the USA with his Russian bride, and instead of facing the firing squad, Oswald was welcomed back, which was an oddity that Fidel Castro remarked on the day after JFK was killed. Imagine if Edward Snowden came back to the USA for a hero’s welcome several years ago. Oswald’s reception was even more preposterous, coming at the height of the Cold War.

    Tower said that when Oswald returned, he was soon recruited by E. Howard Hunt to get involved in a seemingly insane CIA operation: stage a fake assassination attempt on JFK and frame Castro for it, to justify an American invasion of Cuba. Oswald was very leery about such a plan, until he met with high-ranking officials who supported the plan. JFK was not apprised of the plan, for one of the many out-of-the-loop moments of his presidency, and it would be JFK’s last one. Oswald was supposed to fire his rifle into the air and go into hiding, and the CIA made a fake trail to Cuba. When the dust cleared from the invasion, after mopping up Castro and his revolutionaries, Oswald would come home to a hero’s welcome.

    That was the plan, until somehow a fake assassination attempt turned into a real one. Tower did not know who interposed the operation, and neither did the CIA, FBI, and Pentagon officials who were part of Hunt’s plan. At the end of his mind-blowing tale, Tower gave Gary a sealed envelope that he said contained documents to prove his story. The meeting ended and they flew back to LA while Decker and Tower returned to Dallas. On the way back to LA, they knew that it was too big for them to get involved with, and a few days later, Murphy heard from Decker, who said that those documents were given by Tower in a moment of panic, and to return them immediately or face dire consequences. Murphy thought fast and said that they threw them out of the airplane on the way back to LA.

    They then watched the ensuing Warren Commission’s cover-up and knew that if they volunteered Tower’s information, they were doomed. I read Gary’s story in 1989, and during my years of study, I read a great deal of JFK-assassination literature. I never saw a credible piece of JFK-assassination evidence that contradicted Gary’s story. Many documents that have been declassified since Gary published his book bolstered his story, and maybe none more than the Operation Northwoods document. Northwoods seemed like the Pentagon’s version of Hunt’s plan, as the Joint Chiefs of Staff planned to stage fake terrorist incidents, frame Castro for them, and justify an American invasion of Cuba. The Northwoods document was not declassified until 1997, ten years after Gary published his book. It was declassified as part of the effort that Oliver Stone’s JFK movie stirred up.

    To this day, I have yet to see the mainstream media deal in any way with the Northwoods revelations and Gary’s story, as the media plans to defend the Warren Commission to the end of time. I’ll write more about this in my next post.

    Default Re: WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

    From Substack:

    On the momentous day that I met Gary Wean, he gave me the advice that was critical to my springing Dennis out of jail two months later, in the biggest miracle that I ever witnessed. Gary advice was this: no official in the USA would intervene in the evil events in Ventura. They are all in the same club, and what was happening to us was normal in the USA’s legal system. Gary said that the only reason why he was alive was that he never broke the law. If he had, then the gangster judges would have had their excuse to murder him, which those judges regularly did. Ventura County has been ranked as the most corrupt county in the USA (it always makes the top five), and I was discovering it the hard way.

    During our conversation, which was held across the street from where Dennis sat with his astronomical bail, Gary talked about how courtroom transcripts were altered by erasing his statements, how the gangster officials broke into his business and “found” an extension-cord “violation,” and when Gary saw that the jury was stacked with relatives of firemen, he knew that his goose was cooked. Gary survived at least one murder attempt, for being the gadfly that he was. Gary constantly filed lawsuits, trying to get the evidence on the record, and the court clerks would just put his documents through the shredder, so that they could say that they were “lost.” When Rodney Stich was kangarooed into prison in California by the CIA and friends, they did it one better than Gary experienced, in that they altered the transcripts to show the exact opposite of what the testimony was. Anybody familiar with the Warren Commission knows that it regularly altered witness testimony to show the opposite of what they testified to.

    This is how our vaunted system works. The Nazi system was more honest in ways. Gary and Rodney were whistleblowers of the highest order. While Ralph McGehee was one of the greatest whistleblowers ever, Gary lived it at another level, with lawsuits and regularly risking his life. For anybody who is familiar with those levels of the game, it is ludicrous to suggest that Gary fabricated the John Tower conversation. You don’t make stuff up, when people are looking for a reason to murder you.

    Gary was an old-school policeman who believed that the fair application of reasonable laws made for a more just society. That was one reason why he and Audie Murphy became such close friends. In 1990, when I began my studies, which have not ended, the JFK assassination was one of my topics. I did not go public with my findings until 2001. I never saw a credible piece of evidence contradict Gary’s story, and as documents have been declassified and new witnesses have come forward, Gary’s tale has only been strengthened, especially by the Operation Northwoods document. But there was vastly more, such as how ridiculous the Magic Bullet hypothesis is. The recent revelation, of another bullet in JFK’s limousine, is just one more rock on the mountain of evidence that buries the Warren Commission’s blatant lies.

    But Gary was also a right winger and he was no scholar. Detractors have pointed out Gary’s “bigotry” in his book, but I heard worse every day in my home while growing up. Gary was not unusual for his time in that regard. Gary suffered so much at the hands of Jewish gangsters that he bought into antisemitic “scholarship” that argued that the Jewish Holocaust never happened. I have studied that scholarship, and unless one is well-read, it is easy to get gulled by writings like those. To this day, I hear from conspiracists who believe the most crazed yarns that have literally no credible evidence to support them. I recently finished a long series of posts on conspiratorial topics, how to fruitfully approach them, what rabbit holes to avoid (such as faked Moon Landings, which I am contacted about to this day, even by scientists), and what seems valid. There are even flat-Earthers out there, spinning their “theories.” I get sent flat-Earth stuff periodically, and one pal’s friend really believes that Earth is flat, and it is covered up by history’s greatest conspiracy. I don’t know what can top that on the craziness scale.

    While the Northwoods document was declassified in 1997, ten years after Gary’s book was published, it did not come to the public’s attention until 2001, after I had already finished the JFK part of my cover-up essay, and I did not hear about it until years later. In my opinion, Gary’s testimony should have been the center-of-gravity of all JFK researchers since the Northwoods document became public knowledge.

    Some serious researchers have given Gary’s testimony a place of prominence, but not enough, in my opinion. Gary was a policeman and investigator, so it is no surprise that he would try his hand at reconstructing the scenario that took JFK’s life. When Gary did that, he was just like the rest of us. While Jews do not come up at all in the Tower conversation, Gary is the originator of the “Jews did it” hypothesis of the JFK hit. Gary knew that Jack Ruby was a high-ranking Jewish mobster, so Jewish mobsters were definitely involved. Mickey Cohen was not only Ruby’s close associate, but he was also a close associate of Menachem Begin, the mass murderer who won a Nobel Peace Prize as Israel’s prime minister. Nobody has to connect too many dots to implicate Israel, which was definitely a beneficiary of JFK’s murder. Around when he published his book in 1987, Gary walked into the offices of the Spotlight, in Washington, D.C., and he gave a journalist there, Michael Collins Piper, the idea for his “Israel did it” book, titled Final Judgment. Gary did not think that Piper gave Gary’s testimony enough prominence in his first efforts, but in Final Judgment, an entire chapter is devoted to Gary’s testimony. I ended up in the middle of that controversy at one point. I recently reviewed an “Israel did it” book, and the book was a shabby effort, in my opinion.

    I don’t know what all of Gary’s evidence was, but he thought that Arlen Specter was a key player in interposing Hunt’s operation. Specter not only authored the untenable Magic Bullet theory, but he became infamous for badgering witnesses whose testimony did not dovetail with the “Oswald did it” theory of the JFK hit.

    My take is that Jewish mobsters were definitely involved in the JFK hit, from Gary’s Ruby testimony alone, and while Israel was definitely a beneficiary of JFK’s murder and may have had some involvement, I doubt that Israelis were the masterminds. Stich was privy to tapes made of J. Edgar Hoover’s phone calls (nobody was immune from the spooks!), in which Hoover planned the JFK hit with Lyndon Johnson, Nelson Rockefeller, Allen Dulles, and George H.W. Bush, and none of that surprises me at all. Dulles and Hoover began the cover-up as soon as JFK was murdered. Hunt told the original Watergate attorney that JFK was killed over the ET issue, and that also makes sense to me, and was likely related to JFK’s efforts to end the Cold War. JFK’s planned joint mission to the Moon with the Soviet Union may have triggered the ET angle, as NASA was concerned about encountering ETs on the Moon, and Apollo 11 may well have. Brian O’Leary’s life was shortened when he snooped into the ET issue.

    If I had to put my money on it, I would go with the Eastern Oligarchy and Military Industrial Complex, and David Rockefeller may have been the chairman of the board of the operation. But I am also not set on who ultimately was behind it, I doubt that the crime will ever be definitively solved, and the primary folly of most JFK assassination researchers is trying to solve the crime. It is enough to know that Oswald did not do it, and the American presidency was permanently demoted with JFK’s death. All American presidents since JFK were expendable puppets and knew it.

    Gary’s Tower testimony stands on its own, as did his encounters with Jack Ruby. But people have conflated Gary’s testimony with his theories to then dismiss all of it. That is incompetent reasoning. I have long written about evidence and interpretation, and the failures of scholars to properly deal with them.

    You can take Gary’s testimony on Tower and Ruby to the bank, and leave his theorizing aside. I’ll end this post with a little anecdote. In the late 1990s, I was contacted by a man who had been a Ventura policeman, and he witnessed a courtroom event that Gary wrote about in his book. He got Gary’s book, and it was revelatory until the point when Gary went off on Jews near the end. He got me to forward his questions to Gary on Jews, and I wish that I had not agreed to that. More than once I let people around me use me as their conduits of critiques to public figures that I knew, and I’ll never do it again. Gary contacted me after that, to make sure that all was still well between us (it was), but I think that that was the last time that Gary and I interacted, as he died a year or two later (Gary died in 2004). But after the USA’s invasion of Iraq, flogged along by Jewish neocons such as Wolfowitz, Perle, and Abrams, that ex-cop asked me if Gary was right all along.

    Default Re: WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

    From Substack:

    I’ll relate one last anecdote on the JFK hit before moving on to Ventura County. Not long before JFK’s murder, Gary Wean tailed Mickey Cohen and Menachem Begin to a meeting at Melvin Belli’s house, after they had been talking about JFK’s “wasting” money on the Peace Corps. Belli wanted $250K up-front to defend Dennis Lee, but defended Ruby for free. Cap Weinberger also attended the meeting. Weinberger was the secretary of defense under Reagan. Belli became Ruby’s attorney after he murdered Oswald. It is easy to construct all sorts of scenarios around JFK’s murder from events that Gary witnessed, except for the official one of Oswald the lone gunman. Gary moved back to Ventura County in 1966, where he became the chief investigator for the public defender’s office.

    Dennis’s first attorney in Ventura described Gary’s book as a who’s who of Ventura County. The second edition sells for $4K a copy at Amazon – I wonder what my original printing goes for, but those early versions were cheaply printed and my copies are mostly falling apart, but the recent hardback copy will outlive me. Gary was not shy, and named names. In my neighborhood was a family whose children were my age and dressed fashionably, from the expensive clothing store that my family never shopped in. My clothes came from K-Mart and the swap meet. One of the many shocks of reading Gary’s book was his account of how his career ended. The father of those fashionably attired kids took huge bribes from the gangsters who ran Ventura County – one bribe was substantially higher than my father ever earned in a year. They basically framed and otherwise wiped out people who stood in the way of the gangsters, including judges, some of whom came to untimely ends. That man told Gary to get in on the action. It was one of those offers that you can’t refuse. When Gary refused to participate, he was framed instead, which ended his career.

    As Gary’s wife once told me, Gary was a fighter, not a lover. Gary did not take it lying down and began filing lawsuits, but he could not find an attorney to represent him. Eventually Audie Murphy had his attorney meet with Gary. When I met with Gary, he said that no attorney is going to take on a client who is fighting the corruption. If they ever do, they quickly get a call, advising them to drop the client if they want to still have a career. Gary eventually had to become his own attorney.

    Gary’s book is a parade of names of the rich and famous, politicians, judges, attorneys, policemen, gangsters, and a chronicle of untimely deaths of people who got in the way of the people who ran Ventura County. One of the many amusing anecdotes in his book was when Gary was contacted by a Chicago mobster who retired and moved to the sunshine in Ventura County. They met for lunch, and the mobster told Gary of how he planned to dabble in real estate in Ventura County, but he soon discovered that the real estate racket in Ventura County, run by corrupt officials, was a sweeter rigged game than the Chicago mob ever had. The mobster was truly impressed by the corruption in Ventura County.

    Gary started his own newsletter, chronicling the corruption, and he waged lawsuits, trying to block land grabs and raids of the public coffers. One of his lawsuits was holding up bond issuance for the County Center that was going to be built only a few miles from my home. The day before his lawsuit delayed the bond-issuance (and a big payday for the gangsters), an assassin tried to kill Gary in his yard. Like Dennis, Gary was not easy to kill, and he exchanged gunfire with the assassins and drove them off (which the police decided was a case of fireworks going off). If they had killed Gary, his lawsuit would have been dismissed the next day and the bonds would have sold without a hitch.
    The night that I met Gary, he stopped so kindly and met with me for hours, on his way home from a meeting a few miles from my home, where he was trying to organize people to resist a maneuver by the local officials, on behalf of their patrons, to steal their land. But the people flew off in all sorts of directions and became easy prey.

    When Gary lost his career, he took his life’s savings and bought a gas station with an attached store and bar. Gary eventually wrote his book there between customers. The ordeal ruined his life. What those same officials did to us was a very high-profile takedown of our company. Gary met with Dennis’s wife and gave her his book.

    The lowest part of my journey was in December, 1988, less than two years after I became Dennis’s partner. Visions of murder danced in my head, and the year ended with Dennis in solitary confinement. By the New Year, I was over my rage and dismay, and decided that I would do whatever I could to save Dennis’s life. I visited Dennis’s wife, who was living with her two daughters with my professor, and I asked her what I could do. She handed me Gary’s book, and that is how we met.

    From Substack:

    I have written about my meeting with Gary Wean at length in the past, and I will try to keep this short. Basically, Gary gave me the best advice that I could have gotten: if I was going to help Dennis, I would have to do it on my own. No officials in the USA would intervene, as it is corrupt everywhere. Gary had to become his own attorney, and he suggested that I refile my lawsuit for my civil rights violations. I had no interest in that, but the prosecution had portrayed the world’s best heating system as a scam, which was the only way that they could put Dennis away for life. But they could only accomplish that by lying and threatening people, including a science lab that had tested the system. Mr. Researcher was in hiding at the time because of Mr. Deputy’s threats.

    Gary said that their goal was to send Dennis to prison for 20 years. At the time, Dennis was writing from solitary confinement that they would murder him in prison, and they nearly did. But what they finally “convicted” Dennis on was failing to file a form. They counted on a destitute defense after they wiped out our company. Recall that this all happened after Dennis turned down a billion-dollar bribe from the CIA to fold the operation, and a few weeks after Dennis rejected their offer, he was jailed with a million-dollar bail.

    I soon formed my plan to mortgage my life and get a legal fund for Dennis, so that we could bring in expert witnesses to testify to the heating system’s performance. A month after meeting with Gary, Mr. Professor mortgaged his home to provide my legal fund, and six weeks later, Dennis walked out of jail, in the biggest miracle that I ever saw, which we all knew was an act of divine intervention. The criminals don’t always win, and Gary was instrumental in that victory. Dennis still spent two years behind bars and nearly died there, but it was a “victory” of sorts, as Dennis lived to try again. But Mr. Professor’s life was ruined and shortened by the events in Ventura County, which was the greatest sorrow of my journey.

    The year after I met Gary, he ran for sheriff. Ventura County quickly passed a law that made Gary too old to run for office. In the election that year, all county officials ran unopposed, as their well-oiled corrupt machinery chugged along. But every county in the USA is corrupt.

    Like Ralph McGehee, Gary was worn out by the battle as he reached 70 and planned to sell his gas station/store/bar. One of my first eye-opening experiences was when Dennis had his company stolen three months after I met him, in what I call fiduciary fraud. Dennis transacted with a company to put his company’s assets into an empty corporate shell in return for controlling interest in the shell company. It was a standard maneuver to quickly take a company’s stock public. But the shell owners later said that they never approved the transfer of ownership to Dennis. If that was the case, then the transaction never really occurred, and Dennis and the shell owners would go their separate ways. But the shell owners said that they now owned Dennis’s company without ever having to pay anything for it. That is theft, pure and simple, but in the legal atmosphere in Seattle, with an official who actually witnessed what happened, the crime was allowed to stand. Those Mormon criminals stole Dennis’s company two weeks after stealing his financier’s company, and I strongly suspect that the global elite were involved.

    The Ventura County gangsters did something similar to Gary. Gary found a buyer for his property, and when the transaction was in escrow, the buyer went bankrupt. The buyer obviously could not complete the transaction and the deal should have fallen out of escrow. That is what escrow is all about. But no, said the escrow company, Gary had to forfeit the deed to his property to the escrow company. I have little doubt that the entire situation was engineered by the gangsters, and the fake buyer was part of the plot. Gary had put his property in his wife’s name many years earlier, and the Ventura County courts put out a warrant for her arrest, to compel her to hand over the deed. That was only the latest in a long line of criminal offenses by Ventura County’s officials against Gary’s property. Gary spent the rest of his life in exile in Oregon, nearly destitute, after the theft of his property and that warrant for his wife’s arrest in California.

    A few years after I moved back to Seattle in 1997, Gary called and wanted to come see me, and he and his wife would come in their motor home. He wanted to stay with me, but I lived in a condo and had no place to host a motor home. I am always sorry that we could not meet that last time, and Gary died a few years later.

    Gary became a legend in Ventura County as one of the only people who stood up to the gangsters who ran the county. I have been contacted more than once by people from Ventura County who revered Gary. Gary was a great one and he is in my pantheon.

    From Substack:

    As I am doing in these “lives of the great” posts, this post is a summary of my posts on Gary Wean’s life, and it will only link to my Substack posts.

    Gary was born in the Midwest, Iowa as I recall, in 1921 and was a naval gunner in World War II in the Pacific Theater. He settled in LA after the war and became an LAPD policeman in 1946. Gary had many duties in his job, including traffic cop, but a big part of his job was putting Mickey Cohen under surveillance. Cohen was a Jewish mobster who had worked for Al Capone, and he ran LA’s crime scene. Dealing with the escapades of Hollywood celebrities, politicians, and mobsters was Gary’s daily life. In 1946, Gary saw Jack Ruby in the company of Cohen, and Gary had a conversation with Ruby about the Mob’s plans for Havana and New Orleans, as the West Coast was not as attractive of an investment opportunity with the end of World War II. Ruby was a high-ranking mobster, not the small-time nightclub owner that the Warren Commission portrayed him as. One member of Cohen’s entourage was Harry Pregerson, who became a federal court judge, which was a Jewish variation of organized crime.

    Gary also saw Menachem Begin in Cohen’s company quite often. Begin ran the terrorist group Irgun, was a mass-murderer, but eventually won a Nobel Peace Prize as Israel’s prime minister. Gary learned that Cohen was behind introducing Marilyn Monroe to JFK, as part of an influence-peddling and blackmail scheme. Monroe was killed by Cohen’s men because she knew too much and could not be counted on to remain silent.

    Pregerson got Gary fired from his LAPD job and Gary moved to Ventura County. Gary eventually moved back to LA as an investigator for LA’s district attorney. One of Gary’s close friends was Audie Murphy, who was the USA’s most decorated war hero who became a movie star. In December 1963, through the sheriff of Dallas County, Bill Decker, Gary and Audie heard from a frightened Senator John Tower that Lee Harvey Oswald did not murder JFK. Oswald was part of a CIA operation to frame Fidel Castro for a fake assassination attempt on JFK, to justify an invasion of Cuba. But unknown persons interposed the mission and turned a fake assassination into a real one.

    I have studied the JFK hit for 35 years in light of Gary’s tale, and never saw a credible piece of evidence contradict it. Furthermore, as documents have been declassified and other evidence has surfaced since 1963, they have only reinforced Gary’s story, such as the Operation Northwoods document, authored by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Northwoods plan was proposed around when the CIA’s plan was developed, and it proposed to stage fake terrorist incidents and frame Castro for them, to justify invading Cuba. In the wake of JFK’s murder, the USA’s national security state covered up its involvement in the CIA plan and served up Oswald as the lone assassin, which was pure fiction.

    In 1966, Gary moved back to Ventura County and became an investigator for the public defender’s office. In 1970, Gary discovered an operation to frame people for crimes and other events, to remove them as obstacles for the gangsters who ran Ventura County, who often were the judges. Gary was asked to help frame somebody, and when Gary refused, he was framed instead, which ended his career.

    Gary fought back with lawsuits and spent his next 20 years as a Ventura County gadfly, which led to a murder attempt on him. He published his book in 1987, the year before my company was wiped out by the same interests who ruined Gary’s career. Ventura County makes the top-five lists of most corrupt counties in the USA, and has even been ranked number one, but all counties are corrupt, in one way or another, partly because of the lucrative drug trade.

    When it looked like my partner, Dennis Lee, would never live to see this side of the bars again, I met with Gary, whose advice was critical in my springing Dennis from jail a couple of months later, in the biggest miracle that I ever witnessed. The year after I met Gary, he ran for sheriff, and Ventura County quickly passed a law that made Gary too old to run for office. Gary then tried to sell the business that he bought after he lost his career, but the gangsters who run the county stole his business from him instead, and Gary spent his last years in Oregon, in exile and near-destitution. That is a common fate for the heroic few who take on our corrupt system, and Gary is in my pantheon.

    Hi Bill:

    From my site stats, a few thousand people have read my Substack posts, and my site gets over 200 views a day. I have over 200 subscribers and followers, and yes, plenty of appreciation. Sam Husseini recently reposted my post on him, which led to a flurry of activity. I get trolls, too, mainly conspiracists, but I can easily ban them and have only had to ban a few so far.

    I am always going for quality over quantity, and there is some high quality there. Some famous journalists and authors are following, even sometimes commenting, and it is early in my Substack experiment, I hope to do some interviews, and we will see how that goes.

    Best,

    Wade

    From Substack:

    The electricity to our home was disrupted on Tuesday, November 19, by a windstorm, we got it back on Sunday, but our home did not regain Internet access until today, November 27. That is the longest home outage in my lifetime, for both power and Internet. It is not like I live in the hinterland, either. I live across the street from Microsoft’s headquarters in a neighborhood of multimillion-dollar homes.

    What softened the blow was that we still had cellular service, as the cell companies have their own power supply, and our cars could recharge our phone batteries (and my Kindle!), and gasoline was always available. Our local grocery store was only closed the first day, so we made daily visits and ate our breakfast at the store. Not having power was catastrophic; not having information was a nuisance, as painful as it was. Using my phone for the Internet was a torturous experience. Few things can drive home the importance of energy to industrialized peoples more than an experience like that.

    Einstein’s E=MC2 is an assertion that everything in the universe is energy. Mass is considered to be a condensed form of energy, and according to Einstein’s general relativity, without mass, there would not be space-time. In that view, our universe’s very existence is predicated on energy, and scientists do not know what energy is or where it came from.

    In my career and life, I have witnessed many disasters because people failed to heed the basics. They thought that the basics no longer mattered, as they believed that they played at a higher level of the game. That meant that they really did not understand the basics. I am going to provide some examples, especially in the sciences.

    Nick Lane’s work is not just popularized science, but his important efforts have been original in areas of science, and some of his key areas of investigation have been early life, metabolism, and aging. Lane’s hypothesis is that life on Earth began in so-called white smokers, which are volcanic vents on the ocean floor. The chemicals that come from white smokers provide the potential energy that chemosynthetic organisms exploit. ATP is the coin of energy for all known life on Earth today, and the Krebs cycle is how life produces energy for use. But the Krebs cycle also runs in reverse, to build the molecules of life, instead of tear them apart to get their energy. Lane remarked on the DNA fixation among scientists, but he noted that metabolism is more important than reproduction, as without metabolism, nothing would live long enough to reproduce. Energy outranks information, in Lane’s view.

    I recently read an article on the divide in cancer research and treatment. Similarly, orthodox cancer researchers have a fixation on DNA, but the metabolic theory of cancer is over a century old and is still neglected. The DNA paradigm cannot explain key features of cancer, such as why cancer cells abandon normal metabolism.

    In recent years, I learned the scientific basis for why processed food is so damaging to people’s health, as it wrecks their metabolism. Up to 98% of Americans have metabolic disease, for instance. Metabolic disease is at the root of all degenerative diseases, but orthodox medicine has ignored that root for over a century, as all that Western medicine does for degenerative diseases is treat symptoms while it never addresses the underlying cause. Virtually all alternative cancer treatments that I know of focus on healing people’s metabolism so that their immune systems can deal with the cancer, and those treatments do not attack the tumors.

    Even among environmental biologists, energy has often been given short shrift. In the social sciences, the situation can be far worse. A generation ago, as I resumed my scientific studies, I saw that physical scientists had no respect for orthodox economic theory, which relegated energy to just another resource that can be substituted for. It made clear the nagging doubts that I had about economic theory since college. I thought that I had seen it all, as far as how deluded economists are about the real world, and then I saw a paper that argued that England’s unprecedented exploitation of coal had nothing to do with the Industrial Revolution! Similarly, ten years after the USA’s invasion of Iraq, I did not see one retrospective analysis by an American pundit that even discussed the role of oil in the invasion, even though the USA’s president, vice president, and secretary of state were all former oil-company executives. Middle East oil is history’s greatest material prize, which explains everything about the West’s involvement in the Middle East for more than a century. As Bucky Fuller said, if oil was priced at the benefit that it provided humanity, it would cost one million dollars per barrel, but the pundits cannot fathom it. I presented a vivid illustration of what Fuller meant. The elephant filled the room, and the pundits could not see it.

    The Kardashev scale makes it clear that the arrival of free energy will be the biggest event in the human journey, the technology for it is older than I am, and the issue is almost never discussed in any mainstream or “progressive” circles. Near his life’s end, Brian O’Leary was stupefied at how forbidden the topic is. The world’s elites know very well about free-energy technology, but they are part of a conspiracy of silence, similar to what Ed Herman noted about genocides perpetrated by the West.

    The most important topics on Earth are off-limits in the mainstream and among “progressives,” and nearly all of humanity plays along with the situation. It is surreal.

    Energy outranks everything else in our universe and always will, and the most important events in the human journey have been energy events. It is long past time to permanently solve humanity’s fundamental energy issue, which is what my work is all about.

    From Substack:

    If I had not lived in the epicenter of the trans craze and not had it shoved in my face, I doubt that I would have paid much attention to it. But in 2019, I discovered that the men’s bathroom in my wife’s favorite Seattle restaurant disappeared. It was one of the most bewildering experiences of my life, as if I had wandered into a Twilight Zone episode. It was one of what I have called my Rip Van Winkle experiences, when I had slept through a trend, to one day be awakened to what was happening. As with when I saw bumper stickers in 2004, telling people to pull the car over and buy a house with no downpayment, when I saw that the men’s bathroom had vanished, I knew that something was broken in our society. I was aware of 300-pound bikini models and other oddities, but I had not given the matter much thought until that bathroom experience. Then I began exploring what had happened.

    I read several books on identity politics and the trans craze, and presented my findings in 2022. In my opinion, radical feminists have it right that the trans craze is a rearguard action on women by the patriarchy, to do away with the idea of women altogether. Anybody can be a woman by simply announcing it. The feminist that I follow the most on this issue is Kara Dansky, who makes her stance explicitly clear: “Men are not women and should not have access to women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, sports, or prisons.” Dansky does not confine her stance to men who invade women’s spaces, but she also deals how children have become targets of trans activists, in what will surely go down in history as another great medical atrocity, akin to lobotomies and eugenics. Children have been irreversibly damaged, as young as age eight, when many children still believe in Santa Claus, and have been convinced by the propaganda that they are members of the opposite sex. It is child abuse and pedophilia on an epic scale.

    That idea that humans can change their sex has no scientific validity whatsoever. No mammal can change its sex. When the biological impossibility of human transsexuals became clear, then the term “transgender” was invented, but Dansky clearly showed how nonsensical that idea also is. “Gender” is about sex roles, or sex stereotypes. Feminists seek to abolish all sex stereotypes, but the trans craze takes the opposite approach, to play dress-up and mutilate bodies to conform to the stereotypes.

    Since this issue was shoved in my face in Seattle several years ago, I have heard from friends who fled Seattle and knew others who did, as the “escalating insanity” of my natal city and home state drove them away. As I write this, it has been increasingly acknowledged that one reason why Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump was the Democratic Party’s embracement of the trans craze, identity politics, and other woke issues that have nothing to do with historic concerns of the Democratic Party, which once sought to make racial, sexual, and other discriminatory issues vanish, but instead have been enshrined in the ideology of today’s Democratic Party into a million variations of oppression. Most people rightly see it as insane and an abandonment of the USA’s working class, which precipitated a huge shift of traditionally Democratic voters to Trump. I am not big on retail politics anyway, but it has been quite a spectacle this year.

    In every work that I read on these issues, the grandfather of the trans craze was identified as Michel Foucault. The trans craze is rooted in postmodernism, which rejects science altogether. In the postmodernist view, biology, age, and sex are mere social constructs, so people can “identify” as giraffes if they want to, be whatever sex, race, ethnicity, and age that they want, and so on. But identity politics and the trans craze have taken it further, and activists have gotten laws passed so that it is a crime to fail to cater to such delusions. In the United Kingdom and Canada, people have gone to jail for properly referring to people by their immutable biological sex. The inmates are truly running the asylum.

    Whenever I saw these kinds of episodes of societal insanity, somebody was profiting from it, and with the trans craze, the medical racket has sidled up to the trough once again, medicalizing and mutilating healthy bodies and removing healthy organs. Even Wall Street took notice of the medical racket’s new revenue stream, which has surpassed a billion dollars a year.

    Humanity has its toes over the edge of the abyss, and identity politics and the trans craze are highly unproductive activities that are profoundly egocentric. I do my best to ignore such issues, but sometimes I can’t.

    Hi:

    After the local power disaster (oh the irony), with an even longer Internet outage, life is finally getting back to normal in my home. It is time to continue replying to Karl’s post.

    On plenty and peace, I like the fat and happy quote. I liked Armstrong’s article. Not too bad for an economist. Social animals have three options for interactions with members of their species:
    • Cooperation;
    • Competition;
    • Conflict.
    Conflict is a high-risk strategy, and if there was true abundance in human societies (and only one thing can do that), competition and conflict would become obsolete, as they would no longer make any economic sense.

    Thanks for some history on watermills. I bought a book on the history of watermills as I worked on the essay that I have had to abandon for now. I hope to get back to it one day, but we’ll see. The rise of watermills was a watershed ( ) moment in the rise of Europe. Actually, if we leave aside the Ancient Greek steam engine, the direct forerunner of the steam engine was invented by a French scientist and inventor. There was a lot of cross-fertilization of ideas and technologies in the rise of Europe. But England’s coal, once it learned how to truly exploit it, was like a slingshot that gave the British a century’s head-start on the rest of Europe and allowed the UK to become the first truly global power, small island nation that it was.

    On Judy Wood and her 9/11 book, sure I am familiar with it. I regard her work as highly speculative. She is pretty fringe, even among the 9/11 community. On Rwanda, I am not into Vialls’s stuff. He was way too speculative, IMO. There are so many conspiracist rabbit holes to disappear into, and the vast majority lead nowhere. It can really help people hone their tools of discernment to disappear into some of them, do the work, and then extricate themselves. I recently made a string of posts on conspiratorial topics. Diving into the JFK hit, the Moon landings, and the like was a good exercise for me. For most conspiracist topics, there is not really much there that is valid, as highly ornate theories are built on almost no evidence and a great deal of speculation. That is not the way to go about it.

    On Kruse, I am half deaf and cannot watch videos without closed captions. That said, I watched him discuss the JFK hit here. Sam Husseini wrote about the Israel angle this past week, and I have written at length about it, and was actually in the middle of the issue. I still vote for the Eastern Oligarchy and MIC, and the ET issue may have been the final straw. But none of that is as important as the permanent demotion of the American presidency after JFK’s murder. The crime will never be definitively solved, IMO.

    Thanks for your story on Sudan. You glimpsed the Third Epoch. Grim stuff. There were no “good old days.”

    Yes, even if abiotic-oil theory has some validity, abiotic oil is sure not going to help our industrial civilization, which is fast running out of hydrocarbon fuels. Incidentally, you linked to Tverberg, whom I have interacted with. She was one of the few who gave me the courtesy of a reply, but she literally directed me to Heinberg. Sigh. Lovins nearly soiled himself when Brian O’Leary brought up free energy.

    That was interesting on the IQ spread on men versus women, and it applies to my family in spades, with IQs of over 140 or below 80 for the men, with nothing in between.

    Thanks for the thought that I will live to be 100. I am up for it, if I am healthy and productive the entire way. We’ll see about that.

    Thanks again for your post, and my next post on these topics will be about the kinds of conversations that I hope to mount. I’ll provide some examples.

    Best,

    Wade

    From Substack:

    To be clear, RFK, Jr.’s stance on Israel is terrible and makes me really wonder about him, like I wonder about all politicians. That said, Trump’s nomination of RFK, Jr., for the health cabinet position has been ruffling the media’s feathers. RFK, Jr., will be Big Pharma’s worst nightmare, and the media and many politicians have been in Big Pharma’s hip pocket for generations. I will be surprised if Kennedy is confirmed by the Senate for the job.

    I first wrote about fluoridation in 1998 and made a recent Substack post on RFK Jr.’s nomination and the medical racket. In the barrage of media propaganda on fluoride with Trump’s nomination of RFK, Jr., I did not see one mention of fluoridation’s sordid history. No mention was made that all of the early promoters of fluoride were influenced by or worked directly for fluoride polluters, especially the man who picked the fluoride level to put in the USA’s water supply: Harold Hodge. Hodge was America’s Mengele, who secretly injected patients with plutonium without their knowledge, as part of Hodge’s secret duties for the Manhattan Project. When Hodge was not being a fluoride propagandist, he advocated that for potentially toxic food additives, they should be added at a level of no more than 1% of the toxic level. For fluoride, Hodge recommended 50% of the toxic level. Not only that, there is a great deal of evidence of harm at below the official toxic level, which includes the level put in the American water supply today. Fluoride never has been and never will be safe to ingest, no matter what alleged positive effects that it may have on the teeth (which are extremely dubious).

    In light of RFK, Jr.’s nomination, I have seen the media constantly refer to him as an “anti-vaxxer” and “vaccine skeptic,” without ever once actually discussing his position on vaccines. So, vaccines deserve their own post.

    When I first wrote my medical racket essay around the year 2000, a significant focus was Louis Pasteur. Pasteur is one of the heroic icons of Western medicine, but my studies showed me that, just like my studies of the heroes of American history, there was far more image than substance to Pasteur. He was a scoundrel who sought wealth and fame above all else, and his vaunted germ theory of disease seems to have been a poorly understood plagiarism of a rival. My focus in my original medical racket essay was more on degenerative disease than infectious disease, but I briefly covered the history of vaccination. In 2015, I began writing blog posts on vaccination, and little did I know how big the issue would soon become. I have read several books on vaccination in the past decade, generally by dissident MDs and scientists (1, 2), but my big wakeup call on the infectious-disease racket was Kennedy’s masterpiece, and I began calling the reign of Anthony Fauci “Medical Racket, Version 2.0.”

    As with fluoridation, I want to briefly discuss what the media won’t regarding vaccination, as it once again serves as a medical-racket mouthpiece. For starters, the germ theory of disease is likely flawed, and maybe greatly so. I am not in the “there is no such thing as a virus” camp, but infectious disease likely has more to do with the immune system than it does disease organisms. It is indisputable that the conquest of infectious disease in the West had everything to do with improvements in sanitation, nutrition, and hygiene, which were side effects of the Industrial Revolution. The primary upshot of those changes was the elimination of childhood death, which is the biggest event in the human journey so far. Instead of the death of half of the children, now almost none die, and medical interventions had almost nothing to do with it. The death rates from infectious diseases vanished long before there were vaccines and antibiotics for them. As an example, England’s death rate for measles declined by 99.96% in England before the measles vaccine was introduced.

    The only vaccine for which a case could be made for its effectiveness was the smallpox vaccine, which began with Jenner. However, there is no credible evidence that the smallpox vaccine vanquished smallpox. In fact, in England, mandatory-vaccine campaigns for smallpox were immediately followed by smallpox epidemics. Smallpox deaths in England declined when people began refusing to be vaccinated, and smallpox disappeared when the other infectious diseases did, before there were ever medical interventions for them. This is well-known and not really controversial, except with vaccine propagandists, all of whom make big money by promoting vaccines, such as Paul Offit and Peter Hotez, who are always the media’s authorities on vaccines. It is like asking a barber if we need haircuts. The conflicts of interest are surreal and are never even mentioned by the media.

    The mantra for all Western medical inventions is safe and effective. While the effectiveness of vaccines is largely an illusion, the safety of them is never even addressed, which is the greatest crime, by far, and is the root of Kennedy’s vaccine “skepticism.” As a book published in 2019, before the COVID pandemic, made very clear, there has never been credible safely testing for any vaccine given to American children today. The gold standard for testing any medical procedure is to compare populations that received the intervention against those that didn’t. A harmless placebo in a double-blind setting is how drugs are ideally tested, as well as with vaccines, but not one of the vaccines given to American children today has been subjected to that test. That is not an oversight, but is purposeful. The era of pincushioning American children with vaccines began after vaccine makers were given legal immunity from vaccine injuries in 1986. The Mafia never had a sweeter deal. “Coincidentally,” this era of mandatory vaccines has been accompanied by skyrocketing chronic conditions in American children, which affects more than half of them today. Kennedy also recently co-authored a book on the results of his scouring the medical literature on inadvertent comparisons of vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, and the findings were no surprise: skyrocketing chronic conditions.

    Kennedy’s first act, if he gets that cabinet position, will likely make public the medical bureaucracy’s secret data on vaccine injuries. It is sure to be a huge scandal, but I expect the medical bureaucracy to fight it tooth and nail, on behalf of its Big Pharma patrons. As I see it, vaccines are just one more lucrative, worthless, and deadly Western medical intervention.

    What people such as Bill Gates have done in Africa, with their vaccine campaigns, has been genocidal. If Kennedy is confirmed, I expect that investigations into those issues will be among his first orders of business.

    I started to reply to your above RFK Jr/Vaccine/fluoridation post by quoting bits and pieces and giving thumbs' up. But quoting pretty much the entire post, one piece at a time, would be a waste of space and of reader's time.

    So I'll just offer some thumbs up:

    From Substack:

    I am in the midst of responding to somebody who seems to want to join my effort, while catching up from my power-and-Internet outages. Recent events and reading have brought me back to my journey’s primary lesson: personal integrity is the world’s scarcest, and most precious, commodity. I see it in all walks of life, but it constantly amazes me how intellectuals often lack that quality. That lack just seems less forgivable with them. Not all of them have that defect, for sure, and my pantheon is well-populated with intellectuals, who are/were beacons in the darkness. As I have stated for many years, so-called “intelligence” is near the bottom of the list of the qualities that I seek. The people I seek have to care, above all else, and have had an awakening experience, and I can’t help anybody attain those two qualities. I doubt that intellectuals have much more or less of those qualities that any other kind of human, but it is striking how often intellectuals fail to honestly and intelligently deal with situations that challenge their carefully constructed worldviews, especially scientists, as they laboriously protect their houses of cards. It was the first item on Brian O’Leary’s list of why new technologies and scientific ideas are suppressed. So-called “skeptics” can be the most obtuse of all, even though they pride themselves on their keen rational ability.

    In Noam Chomsky’s political coming-out essay, he argued that intellectuals had a special responsibility to call out the deceits in mainstream culture. But much of his work, and that of his colleague Ed Herman, documented the failings of intellectuals, who not only did not challenge the deceptions, but they even concocted and defended them. Chomsky often argued that the Propaganda Model, which was primarily Herman’s invention, was only a special case of the constraints that all intellectuals in capitalist societies are subjected to. Chomsky noted that even the Old Testament showed the same dynamic, in which dissident intellectuals were punished, so that most toed the line. Herman and Chomsky stated that those failing intellectuals were more deluded than dishonest, but that does not absolve them of their responsibility, in my opinion.

    Chomsky will likely go down in history as the USA’s greatest dissident intellectual, but even he was captured by the propaganda at times, such as when he suggested that people who failed to get the COVID vaccine should be locked up. His book that made the case that the CIA would not have been motivated to kill JFK was a badly misguided effort, in my opinion, because it was involved with JFK’s murder, and the former head of the CIA led the cover-up of the man whom he despised, and whom JFK fired over the Bay of Pigs disaster. If Chomsky could not entirely escape the propaganda, which American intellectuals could?

    The USA has history’s most sophisticated brainwashing system, so maybe American intellectuals are history’s most deluded, but I wonder about that. This is another example of what a world of scarcity and fear looks like, and there is only one solution that I know of.

    From Substack:

    As I have written, if my companies had not been attacked three times in three years (1, 2, 3) by government-media alliances, I doubt that I would have ever heard of Ed Herman. But I became an eager student who began learning at Ed’s and Noam Chomsky’s feet in 1990. I soon learned that the media purveys its daily ration of lies to control what people think, but I was slower to realize that the history that I was taught in school was more of the same. The first inkling that I got of that was reading Howard Zinn’s chapter on Christopher Columbus in his magnum opus, A People’s History of the United States. I read it in 1992, and it was the first time that I had seen any challenge to the hagiography that I was raised with on Columbus, and it inspired the first essay on my site as it stands today (I wrote both it and my fluoride essay in 1998). Watching Saving Private Ryan in 1998 inspired my war essay, but it was not until I read Zinn’s review of Saving Private Ryan that I really began to understand what a work of propaganda Saving Private Ryan really was.

    One thing that made Zinn’s work so powerful about World War II was that he fought in it, thinking that he was one of the good guys, a Jew defeating the Nazis. It was only years later that Zinn learned that instead of saving the world from the Nazis, he slaughtered the very people that he was allegedly saving as well as trapped German soldiers who were waiting for the war to end. It was similar to Ralph McGehee’s belated realization that he was not one of the good guys, as he fought communism for the CIA. Those kinds of authoritative admissions have been extremely rare in American history, or in any history, for that matter. Zinn and McGehee were towering pillars of integrity who are in my pantheon.

    In 1999 I hired an editor. When I revised my Columbus essay in 2001, I contacted Zinn less than two weeks after the 9/11 terror attacks and asked for his permission to produce a lengthy quote from his Columbus chapter. I no longer write like that, but I have let that quote remain, as a tribute to Zinn. In late-September 2001, the American left was frantically trying to avert the imperial rampage that was coming. Zinn was 79 years old at the time, I found an email address for him on the Internet, sent my email, and wondered if I would ever hear back from him. I heard back the same day, as he gave his permission and praised my essay. I am still awestruck that he did that.

    Zinn was regularly vilified in the popular culture, and a book was written to analyze the attacks on A People’s History. My previous post, on the limitations of intellectuals, spurred this post. The attacks on Zinn’s work were like the attacks on Ed’s and Noam’s work: completely without merit. Those attacking intellectuals were similar to the “skeptics,” in that they could not string two rational thoughts together when they weren’t lying, and they were often professors at places such as Stanford. Those were ethical and intellectual midgets that took aim at Zinn, and his work stands unrebutted, similar to how Ed and Noam’s Propaganda Model has never been credibly rebutted. Ed’s praise after Howard died was about the highest that I saw, especially considering the source.

    There have not been many like Howard Zinn in American history.

    From Substack:

    When I first wrote my medical racket essay, my focus was more on degenerative disease than infectious disease, and the cancer racket in particular. The face of American medicine, Morris Fishbein, promoted cigarettes for a generation and spearheaded the “research” to support an advertising blitz for an asbestos cigarette filter, while at the same time he tried to buy out cancer treatments, so that he and his cronies could monopolize them and rake in the big money. When Fishbein’s targets refused to sell out, his minions wiped them out (1, 2). I call Fishbein the Al Capone of Western medicine, who was succeeded by Anthony Fauci, whose favorite book and spiritual guide is The Godfather, believe it or not. I consider Fishbein and Fauci the greatest quacks of the past century. But they were far from alone in their medical-racketeering activities, as robber barons such as John D. Rockefeller and Bill Gates sidled up to the trough as “philanthropists.”

    One of my first two essays on my site as it stands today is on fluoridation, which I wrote in 1998. Fluoride causes dental fluorosis, among other damage, but fluoride polluters achieved the Orwellian feat of turning an industrial waste into compulsory “medicine.” I never thought that I would live to see a courtroom victory over fluoridation (for the brain damage that it causes), and we will see how Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s efforts go.

    I also learned that fluoride was not the first time that industrial poisoning got covered-up like that. The first time may have been with polio. In a post on the polio campaign in Gaza, which may have been warfare by other means, I briefly covered the science of polio. I had already written extensively on polio, on how the evidence strongly supported the idea that polio came from chemical poisoning, mainly pesticides, not the polio virus, and then I read Forrest Maready’s masterpiece on polio. I have little doubt left on the matter. Polio is a classic case of using the dubious germ theory of disease to cover-up industrial poisoning, and it was the beginning of the vaccine racket. Maready wrote that the Zika scare was likely another pesticide-poisoning event, as Fauci and friends used the same playbook. In Kennedy’s masterpiece I learned that AIDS was more of the same, as chemical poisoning, that time from recreational and prescription drugs, was blamed on another harmless virus. Fauci built his empire on AIDS. When the world’s leading virologist dissented from the HIV/AIDS dogma, Fauci destroyed his career.

    The COVID-19 pandemic was just another medical atrocity, as the medical racket rolls along and finds new ways to scare up trillions in revenue. The world’s so-called intellectuals are deeply complicit in these situations, and even Noam Chomsky got into the act.

    The trans craze is another novel revenue stream for Big Pharma. As long as humanity sleepwalks, these kinds of activities will proliferate. I know a way out, but I can’t do it alone.

    From Substack:

    A key divide between conspiracists and structuralists is the issue of how conscious the behavior is of intellectuals who publish clearly false information. Was it a simple mistake, was it the result of deeply rooted delusions, or was the intellectual being intentionally deceptive? Most of us are not mind readers, so it is not easy to know. And when there is no other seeming excuse for their behavior, were they doing it out of twisted ego and ideological needs, or were they just doing their jobs, in which lying was part of their job descriptions?

    Sam Husseini has specialized in asking questions of officials so that they have to lie to wiggle off the hook. American society lies to its children about Santa Claus. Does that set them up for a lifetime of being lied to? In 1800, a popular book was written about George Washington that was a series of fabrications about his honesty and other illusory virtues. In reality, Washington was the architect of history’s greatest swindle, and the evidence is in his own hand, which Wikipedia still cannot bring itself to mention. Similarly, Zbigniew Brzezinski bragged about baiting the Soviet Union into invading Afghanistan, and “scholars” have leapt into the fray to deny that Brzezinski meant what he said. But Brzezinski later confirmed it to the CIA official who presided over the Afghanistan region at the time. Are scholars fundamentally dishonest? It can sure seem that way.

    I watched officials repeatedly act criminally during my days as a free-energy revolutionary, and when a psychopathic sheriff’s deputy finally unmasked himself during my day on the witness stand, it was the turning point of my life. The media endlessly lied about us, which primed me for Ed Herman and Noam Chomsky’s work about the media. The media simply makes it up as it goes along. The point of the title of Manufacturing Consent is that prominent intellectuals argued in the early 20th century that the public needed to be lied to for its own good.

    When I interacted with the “skeptics,” and was stalked by one for years, they lied all the time, and when I exposed my stalker’s lies, he would make up new lies. These are all merely examples of my journey’s primary lesson. But the “skeptics” are a good example of how their delusions can run so deeply that it can look like bold-faced lying, but it is likely just how blinded they are by their ideologies that they can’t see what is obvious to everybody else. Ed Herman made similar observations about establishment pundits, in that they are incapable of rational thought when encountering information that challenges their delusions. If that can absolve them of their responsibility, it brings up Brian O’Leary’s question of whether humanity is a sentient species. I have yet to see a valid critique of Ed’s work, his Propaganda Model has never been credibly challenged, and I saw the same kinds of invalid criticisms of Howard Zinn’s work, which were painstakingly dissected in Zinnophobia. It is hard to call some of those invalid critiques anything other than deliberate deceptions.

    This is a preamble to recent lies that I have seen regarding vaccination. Since 2009, I have read vaccine critics state that vaccines are never safety tested with double-blind trials of vaccinated versus unvaccinated populations, in which the unvaccinated population is given a harmless placebo, as is standard for drug-safety testing.

    When challenged on that, officials have made transparently irrational arguments to defend the situation, including Anthony Fauci. Can those officials really be that stupid, do they expect their audiences to be that stupid, or is something else happening? One of vaccination’s greatest cheerleaders, Paul Offit (AKA “Dr. Proffit,” who voted himself rich), recently defended the lack of placebo testing with an absolutely idiotic argument: if we gave a thousand times the recommended placebo dose, it would harm the patients. But Offit is not as stupid as he seems, as he soon deleted his Tweet. If Offit was not being deliberately deceptive, then he is as deluded as they come. I vote for deceptive.
