    From Substack:

    Bucky Fuller popularized the geodesic dome and the term Spaceship Earth, which came together in the Disney attraction at Epcot. When I visited it in 1998, I had no idea that Fuller’s work and mine were similar.

    I had an environmental awareness from a young age, with an oil spill and the awesome air pollution of Los Angeles among my early events, which helped inspire my free-energy efforts, but during my days of study I began to understand the very heavy environmental footprint that humanity has always had.

    It began when the first bipedal apes began making stone tools. Giant tortoises began going extinct, and they quickly went extinct wherever humans arrived for millions of years. Homo erectus became an apex predator, and they were at least partly responsible for the mid-Pleistocene extinction in Africa and Southern Asia, especially members of the elephant family. By 125,000 years ago, African megafauna were half of their expected size. When behaviorally modern humans left Africa and conquered the world, Australia and the Americas quickly lost their megafauna. While Paul S. Martin thought that the giant sloth extinctions were the most spectacular human-caused extinction in the Americas, my vote is for the complete extinction of the elephant family, as five genera roamed the length and breadth of the Americas before human arrival, with a North American tenure of more than 16 million years. All other human species were driven to extinction during the global conquest, and it was likely not a peaceful process. Humans burned forests with abandon at times.

    In my studies, I came upon two related camps among scientists, on the megafauna extinctions and how violent prehistoric humans were. Some scientists strenuously denied that humans had anything to do with the megafauna extinctions in Australia, the Americas, and elsewhere. Another camp argued how peaceful prehistoric humans were, and that warfare only began with either agriculture or civilization. That peaceful past was the dogma in anthropology until only a generation or so ago. Not only did both camps defy the mountain of evidence that undermined their positions, I came to see both camps as defenders of humanity, especially the ancestors of the indigenous peoples that Europe wiped out in its conquest of Earth. I eventually named those positions the “Anything But Homo Sapiens” hypothesis. On one hand, those scientists defend their in-group, humanity. That is understandable and a human predilection, but it also shows how shaky science can be when scientists defend ideological positions instead of the evidence. I think that it has done a disservice to science and our understanding of the past to deny human agency like that. In the past millennium, humanity inflicted the aquatic version of the land-based megafauna extinctions during the short-lived whaling industry.

    Fortunately, after generations of those kinds of positions, the evidence is finally prevailing. Scientists who deny human agency in the megafauna extinctions are beginning to look pretty silly, after more than 50 years of trying. The same goes for scientists who argue that humanity was peaceful before the invention of agriculture and civilization. Hunter-gatherers were prodigiously violent, and everybody lived with the specter of a violent death each day. What those denying scientists did was help obscure how far we have come. Life in industrial societies is immensely better than it was before the Industrial Revolution.

    But the human footprint has become heavier over the millennia. The Fertile Crescent was largely deforested and desertified. When Europeans conquered humanity, they aridified places such as Australia, Mesoamerica, New England, and Atlantic islands.
    In my lifetime, human activities have killed off half of Earth’s coral reefs. Since agriculture began, Earth has lost half of its plant biomass, and 96% of mammalian biomass is comprised of humans and their domesticated animals. Human activities have raised the carbon-dioxide levels in Earth’s atmosphere by 50% in less than two centuries, which is likely the most dramatic rise in the history of life on Earth, but there is a sizeable contingent in the USA that denies human agency in Global Warming, or that Global Warming is even happening. The last time that Earth went from an ice age to greenhouse conditions, the greatest mass extinction in the eon of complex life happened. Do we really want to see how this turns out?

    There is likely one and only one solution, to prevent the sixth mass extinction that may take humanity with it. Fuller called our choice Utopia or oblivion. I call it the Fifth Epoch or the sixth mass extinction. Spaceship Earth is not doing well, but I know the way out.

    Edward O. Wilson wrote a book that advocated giving half of Earth back to nature. In the Fifth Epoch, humanity will be able to give back nearly 100%, because we will no longer be reliant on the land for our food and other resources.

    From Substack:

    It is time to clean out my stashed medical-racket links.

    The Corruption of Scientific Journals
    I have written on this phenomenon since the 1990s, such as when the pages of the Journal of the America Medical Association were filled with cigarette ads, which made the face of American medicine (Anthony Fauci’s professional ancestor) a rich man. His final achievement was to design the “research” to promote an asbestos cigarette filter, of all things. I could not make that up if I tried. It is Ed Herman’s advertising filter of his Propaganda Model on steroids.

    Here is an interview with the new NIH director, as he discussed the corruption of medical journals. This is nothing new. I read Scientific American for more than a decade, before it became too corrupt for me to read any longer, and Paul Thacker showed what part of the problem was, with an insane editor who promoted the trans craze, attacked the idea of a lab leak that began the COVID pandemic, etc.

    COVID Origins
    The lab-origin issue has been suppressed in the USA, but not so much in Germany. A German TV show exposed the corruption of science with the COVID-origin narrative, and a German newspaper has also been exposing the corruption of science around COVID origins. It is amazing to witness.

    Vaccines Kill Babies
    Last month, I wrote a post on how vaccines kill babies, and it is time for some more on the subject. I summarized Pierre Kory’s book on the war against ivermectin years ago, and he continues to be one of my favorite medical authors. He followed up his article on infants killed by vaccines with a post on how that reality is suppressed globally. One of my favorite medical bloggers is A Midwestern Doctor (“AMD”), and AMD published an article on how infant deaths from vaccines have been known for nearly a century.

    Vaccine Injuries
    AMD has written many articles on vaccine injuries, especially COVID vaccine injuries, and how they have been covered up. Several of the links below are to AMD posts. As I write this, I have a relative staying with me who thinks that he got neurological damage from the COVID vaccine. He could barely walk, but is slowly getting better, and I have steered him toward help (1, 2, 3). One college roommate was crippled by the COVID vaccine, and my other surviving one was likely killed by the COVID vaccine. They all got neurological damage, and neurological injuries from vaccines have been known for centuries. This is all being swept under the rug, once again.

    The spike protein produced by the COVID vaccine stays in the body for years, and is the primary suspect for all of these injuries, which the FDA actively hid, after recklessly approving the vaccines. The FDA has arguably been waging a war on the USA’s health for generations, which helps explain why Americans have the lowest life expectancy among industrial nations and the highest medical bills. What is wrong with that picture?

    The Attacks on Doctors and RFK, Jr.
    I have seen the numbers for many years, and they are consistent across all of the global rackets. About 75% of American MDs are oblivious to the racketeering in their profession (or eagerly participate, and know that they are in a racket), and they really think that they are helping their patients, not killing them, and no amount of evidence will get them to reconsider their faith in their lucrative career. Around 20% feel that there is something not quite right with the system, it nags them in the back of their minds, but nothing that a stiff drink cannot remedy, at least for that evening.

    And then there is the tiny fraction who woke up, often harshly (but far more woke up during COVID). They realize that they are in an evil system. There is a range of reactions. MDs long into their careers are going to be reluctant to change them, so some MDs will keep shuffling along with the herd, drinking themselves into a stupor regularly (or other coping mechanisms), others will try to change their practices, embrace alternative treatments and true prevention, but do it kind of quietly. And a tiny courageous faction will speak up and act on their convictions. For those, there is usually hell to pay.

    This morning’s Mercola article spurred this post. It was another article on a Rogan show in which he interviews a courageous MD. I wrote about Suzanne Humphries’s appearance on Rogan last month, and today’s Mercola article was on Mary Talley Bowden’s appearance on Rogan. I have followed her story over the years. She treated 6,000 COVID patients. She has been subjected to a witch hunt from the medical racket, but is still fighting. There are all too few MDs like Bowden in the USA.

    Bowden, like other courageous MDs, is astounded that RFK, Jr., heads the medical bureaucracy and she hopes that Kennedy “will save us all.” AMD wrote an article on the medical racket’s secret campaign to torpedo what Kennedy is attempting. I wrote before he was confirmed on what I hoped that he would accomplish. I did not expect to live to see this, but the medical racket will go down swinging. I see attacks on Kennedy in the media daily. It is truly disgusting to witness.

    From Substack:

    Believe it or not, I am highly conservative in my renderings of the technologies that those close to me have witnessed. When my friend was kidnapped and given his underground technology show by a dissident faction of the global elite, free energy and antigravity were only two of a host of technologies that were demonstrated. Free energy by itself is enough to usher in what I call the Fifth Epoch, but antigravity would make it far easier. I am not sure if I have done it at Substack yet, but what my friend saw was later confirmed by Steven Greer, via his Disclosure Project witnesses. The antigravity device was like a fanny pack, and when the demonstrator activated it, he began to float in the air.

    I am not sure what the free-energy demonstration looked like, but I presented some footage of Sparky Sweet’s device in action. I imagine that my friend’s show was far more spectacular than that. My friend who witnessed Sparky’s device was a renowned expert in electricity, and Sparky’s device defied conventional notions of electricity. Some of it was even mysterious to Sparky. Sparky died before he could make a prototype for Brian O’Leary.

    Several years after my friend got his underground show, when I saw Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses described free-energy technology, they also described exotic materials. Brian had me review the manuscript for this book long ago, written by one of his associates. I thought that the book was mired in conventionality, with a guerilla-warfare model of bringing free energy to the public and focusing on inventors’ rights. To me, the author was another aspirant who was stuck in the free-energy field’s state of arrested development. But the book rang very true on the author’s experiences with inventors and the capitalist path to free energy (it won’t work), and my biggest takeaway was when the author recounted his experiences with Soviet scientists that he was assigned to work with, who fled to the West with their wares when the Soviet Union collapsed. The author stated that he witnessed dozens of technologies, each of which would make an industry obsolete, and how he also witnessed more than 100 exotic materials. And, of course, the public has never seen those technologies or materials, as they got sequestered with the rest of global elite’s Golden Hoard. That squares with what my friend witnessed, and he might have even seen some of that technology in his show.

    I also get scuttlebutt from Greer’s operation, and I have heard more about the technologies that the global elite allegedly have, such as the ability to make any element, like the replicators on Star Trek, and it can get very way out, fast, such as elite enclaves that don’t reside in physical reality, but in nearby dimensions, in which time and space to not work like they do in our physical reality. I have also long heard of miraculous medical technologies in that Golden Hoard, which that author also mentioned. None of that surprised me much when I heard it, but it is also only “bonus material” for the Fifth Epoch, as far as I am concerned. Unless energy is abundant, the rest does not matter.

    My vision of what I call the Fifth Epoch is actually highly constrained, and I don’t consider it very imaginative, but just obvious outcomes if free-energy technology was in public use. Even the antigravity tech is a “nice to have,” and is not required for the Fifth Epoch to arrive.

    Many wild allegations are on the Internet and among conspiracists, but I pay very little attention to them. It is mostly tabloid-level gossip that sucks in the naïve and gullible, and should largely be considered entertainment, not reality. I only rely on robust evidence in my work, not speculation and rumors, and I never trust anybody who states that they are global-elite insiders, or those who say they know all about what is happening at those levels. It is far more likely than not that they are spinning tall tales, either intentionally, or they have been duped.

    The most credible evidence that I use in my work came from what people close to me witnessed, what I have seen, or credible people who saw what they were not supposed to, who comprise most of the Disclosure Project witnesses.

    If the good stuff was released when free-energy tech was, then the world could quickly look like this. With “only” free energy, it would take a bit longer. Greer says it will take a generation, and that makes sense, but on Day One, humanity will no longer stare into the abyss.

    From Substack:

    I have written about Global Warming a great deal in my work. It is “just” one of the catastrophes that humanity has either already inflicted or is looming. I was recently made aware of this paper on changes in what is called the Southern Ocean, which rings Antarctica. The paper itself was fine, but a rather sensational article regarding it generated a little firestorm, which appeared to be because of an inaccurate press release, some overstated language, and translation problems. A leading Global Warming debunker site had a field day, with its typical over-the-top language.

    What that flippant debunker failed to address in his critique of that article is that the Mediterranean is currently more than 11 degrees Fahrenheit higher than its 1982-to-2015 average. That number is so spectacular that it does not seem real. That is like what happened several years ago, when a heatwave in the Pacific Northwest had predictions so extreme that the forecasters thought that their models were broken. But they weren’t. That same heatwave saw the highest recorded temperature ever, north of 45 degrees latitude. The town that recorded it burned down the next day, and a billion or more sea animals were killed. It was one of the most extreme weather events ever recorded. Those in denial of Global Warming astound me.

    I don’t need scientists to tell me about Global Warming, as I constantly live with its effects. I have a fan blowing on me as I write this, as it is 86 degrees in my office at home. Fifty years ago, almost no homes in the Seattle area had air conditioning, and now it is hard to live without it (and my home has air conditioning). In the 1990s, Seattle would have a handful of days over 80 degrees in the summer, and now, most summer days are over 80 degrees. It may reach 90 today and 95 tomorrow. I have been watching the glaciers melt, and the forest fires have become so bad that I now have to consult the smoke forecast, as well as the weather forecast, before I go hiking.

    American politicians recently complained to Canada about its wildfire smoke. Alaska got its first heat advisory ever last month. The rapidly thawing permafrost portends a catastrophe for Arctic peoples. That is all highly consistent with what scientists have learned about how Earth has warmed and cooled over the eons. The higher latitudes have the most extreme changes. The poles are covered in ice during the ice ages, and forests extend nearly to the poles in the warm periods.

    That paper that caused a little firestorm was concerning, on how unexpected events are happening in the Southern Ocean, and I want to discuss the ocean’s currents a little, what I learned in my studies, and what it may well mean for humanity if we do not achieve the Fifth Epoch soon.

    Over 96% of Earth’s water is in the ocean. Of the 2.5% of Earth’s water that is freshwater, only about 1% of that is surface freshwater (lakes, rivers, etc.). The solar-driven hydrological cycle gives us that freshwater. The Sun’s energy and Earth’s rotation create the air currents that bring precipitation to Earth. The ocean also circulates with a dominant global current that travels the world, which also influences the air currents. That oceanic current obviously depends on the continental configurations. In the Permian Period, all continents came together to form a supercontinent. The world’s ocean was nearly all contained in what is called the Panthalassic (the ancestor of the Pacific), and there were two landlocked smaller oceans, call the Paleo-Tethys and the Tethys. It is thought that there was not much in the way of ocean currents then. Those stagnant oceans had low oxygen levels, which likely contributed to the greatest extinction event in the eon of complex life. Dramatic changes in the ocean’s currents are ancient events that scientists have long investigated.

    For the past 50 million years, Earth has been cooling, with its falling carbon-dioxide levels. While those falling carbon-dioxide levels were the ultimate reason for our ice age, the isolation of Antarctica and the formation of the land bridge between the Americas also contributed, because of what they did to ocean currents. When Earth finally fell into this ice age, variations in Earth’s orientation to the Sun, driven by the gravitational effects of the other planets, created oscillating effects that have made the continental ice sheets grow and shrink like clockwork during the past million years.

    We are in one of the rare interglacial periods, when Earth is in its “long summer.” If not for this long summer, the Domestication Revolution might not have happened and there would only be several million humans on Earth, living in a Stone Age. In the glacial intervals, Earth is cold, dry, with reduced carbon-dioxide levels, largely because the ocean has absorbed carbon dioxide, as cooler water can absorb more gases. In that cold, dry world, with lower carbon-dioxide levels, plants do not grow as well as in this long summer. Farming might have been impossible in all but a few places on Earth. Even then, the transition to this long summer had its bumps. Nearly 13,000 years ago, there was a cooling event known as the Younger Dryas, and it has been argued that it wrecked the nascent sedentary populations in the Fertile Crescent, but it may have also led to the first farmers. Over 8,000 years ago, there was another drop in global temperatures, and it may have helped form the farming methods for the first civilization. But almost exactly 4,000 years later, another drop seems to have wiped out most early civilizations. Almost exactly 3,000 years later, the Bronze Age collapse of civilizations in the Fertile Crescent and Mediterranean happened, and a drought is the prime suspect.

    For the 12,900-year, 8,200-year, and 4,200-year events, it is thought that changes in ocean currents did it, and climate change is also implicated in the droughts that caused the Bronze Age collapse. For the 12,900-year and 8,200-year events, it is thought that melting ice sheets that flushed to the Atlantic Ocean did it. These all happened in the long summer, when life was good. Life in the glacial intervals was much harsher, with a cold, dry climate. Life was harder for the animals that humans hunted, but they had survived the glacial intervals just fine, to only go extinct when humans invaded.

    The staple from early human farming to this day has been seed crops from grasses. Maize, wheat, and rice provide most of humanity’s dietary calories today, and over 80% in the poorest nations. It is a very unnatural reliance on seed crops. Primates evolved in fruit-rich tropical canopies, and their diets were a far cry from humanity’s seed diets. Until industrialization, all civilizations were at the mercy of the weather, as the thin agricultural surpluses were always vulnerable to climate changes.

    The calamitous 1300s in Europe were caused by the end of the Medieval Warm Period, which initiated a multi-year famine. The Little Ice Age was a grim time in Europe, which coincided with Europe’s conquest of Earth. Globally, the difference between the Medieval Warming Period and the Little Ice Age was about one degree Fahrenheit. The difference between good times and catastrophe was one degree, global temperatures have already increased by more than one degree in the industrial era, and the current projections are that global temperatures will increase by between three and eight degrees by 2100. Farming has always been dependent on the caprices of Earth’s climate, and farming as know it was only feasible in this brief long summer.

    Studying those prior events makes it clear that the ocean is the major driver of climate changes, and especially what happens to the dominant currents. When currents shifted, global climate changed, and regions formerly wet could become dry, and vice versa. Droughts and floods have always been the scourge of farmers. That we have more than eight billion people on Earth today, and the vast majority is dependent on seed crops that are watered by the weather, is insane, from a species perspective. This is a leading reason why humanity tiptoes along the edge of the abyss today. If those oceanic currents shift much, billions of people will starve to death, mainly the world’s poor.

    Industrialized nations are causing this problem by burning hydrocarbon fuels, and agrarian nations will reap the whirlwind. Climate change is here. I have been watching the Gulf Stream weaken for many years, and it has global implications.

    Those who deny and are “skeptical” of these events are whistling past humanity’s graveyard. In a recent comment, I discussed indoor farms. We already have them, and the main limitation is the energy to run them. Not only is outdoor farming vulnerable to the weather and climate changes, it destroys natural ecosystems.

    In what I call the Fifth Epoch, humanity will no longer rely on Earth’s ecosystems for its food. Indoor farms, a hundred stories high, run by AI robotics, placed in deserts, floating on the ocean, on a little piece of Antarctica, or even in orbit, will easily feed humanity a hundred times over, with fresh, whole food, mainly fruit and vegetables, with some seeds crops.

    This issue of Global Warming and looming global famines and other catastrophes is one of humanity’s existential risks that free-energy and related technologies easily resolves.

    From Substack:

    I have been imagining what I came to call the Fifth Epoch since I became Dennis Lee’s partner in 1987. The contrast between the world that we live in today versus what the Fifth Epoch can be is too much for most people to handle. I have watched people go off the deep end, attack anything and everything, including me, when they could not handle that contrast. They go jumping down rabbit holes to nowhere, on those many paths of failure, hoping for some quick and easy solution, which can be life-ruining. My journey has been teaching me patience.

    It is easy to look at our world in disgust and horror, get depressed, seek escape into harmful coping mechanisms, propose violent and coercive “solutions,” and the like. Today’s Seattle is little like the city that I was born in. In 1962, when I was four years old and Seattle hosted the World’s Fair, my mother gave me money and a shopping list, I walked a few blocks to a corner store, handed the man behind the counter the list and the money, and walked back home with a bag of groceries and the change. Those days are long gone in Seattle. I only go into Seattle when I have to, as I did last week, for one of the few times this year. On Monday, there was a shooting a few blocks from where my grandparents lived when I was born, and I drove guests past it only a few days earlier. Some of my earliest memories are of their home. Seattle has become a woke hellscape in ways, and as I sit in traffic in Seattle and the surrounding area, I sometimes think to myself, “And they call this civilization.”

    However, what I do far more often is think about what life in the Fifth Epoch can be like. The world as we know it will end in the Fifth Epoch, and nobody will miss it. When I walk into a nearby Safeway, which is constantly the site of shoplifting and police incidents (where Steve Ballmer used to get his morning coffee), I often think about how grocery stores will cease to exist in the Fifth Epoch, and almost nothing in the store, especially aisles full of processed food, will exist in the Fifth Epoch.

    In the Fifth Epoch that I envision, whatever somebody needs will be immediately delivered to them, wherever they are. Cities as we know them will cease to exist, as will nations, races, ethnicities, etc. Scarcity and fear will no longer be the background hum of our societies, and there will be one global society, as humanity will be recognized as one family.

    That is hard to imagine from here, but in everything that I see in my world, I imagine what the Fifth Epoch will look like, how nearly all that I see will cease to exist, and I imagine what will take its place. Holding that vision is all that kept me going at times, and I see it as a dream that is waiting to come into being. That process has helped me over the years, has helped shape my visions of the Fifth Epoch, and the people that I seek will likely need to do something similar.

    From Substack:

    Today, I discussed an issue with a pal, on transitioning to what I call the Fifth Epoch, which is a world of abundance. Regarding the effort that I have in mind, the hard part will be building that virtual community that can have a comprehensive discussion of the issues. That has never been seen on Earth before. It will become a partially real community when the time comes to develop free-energy technology, to give it to humanity. But that will be the easy part. My pal brought up the issue of transition plans, which brings up the heart of what I call the free-energy conundrum. Very few people on Earth get past ignorance, denial, and fear of free energy to “do something,” and those people nearly invariably get caught in the free-energy field’s state of arrested development and travel the paths of disaster, which often result in ruined and shortened lives.

    In 2009, Brian O’Leary asked me to help him write a proposal to the USA’s Department of Energy (“DOE”) on a transition plan to a world economy based on free energy. As I wrote my parts of it (mainly the Big Picture section), I wondered what he thought that we would accomplish (nothing, as it turned out). Brian had a self-admitted co-dependency with the federal government, thinking that answers could be found there. Twelve years before I helped Brian, I helped Dennis Lee approach the DOE, and I heard a very sobering statement from the official who ran the hearings. That DOE official was like my pal that I discussed the transitioning issue with: a Boy Scout. Those Boy Scouts can be found in every government agency, even the CIA, and really, in any walk of life. Once those Boy and Girl Scouts awaken to reality, they become members of my target audience.

    I recently watched a late-life interview that Brian gave, and he specifically mentioned that Hazel Henderson was against the idea of free energy, because of the chaos that would ensue. Why chaos? I found that “visionaries” such as Henderson were addicted to their frames of reference, which in our world are all based on scarcity. When people such as Henderson run up against something that blows apart their framework, they act like addicts. This was also behind the crazed reactions of denial and fear that Brian received during his ride as the Paul Revere of Free Energy, from the world’s leading scientists, “progressives,” and “visionaries.” And his ride was after he wrote about the “Suppression Syndrome” that kept things such as free energy in the margins.

    The bottom line is that there is really nobody on Earth to meaningfully present a transition plan to. You can’t present a plan to achieve something that people inherently believe is impossible or even undesirable. An adage of warfare is that battle plans look great until the first shot is fired. The arrival of free energy will be the biggest wildcard of all time. Any transition plan of much detail will quickly become obsolete. Long ago, I realized that the only meaningful aspects of transition plans to the Fifth Epoch are just general principles, stars to steer by.

    I only see a few key principles that any desirable and credible transition plan to the Fifth Epoch will need to have:
    • Safety;
    • Harmlessness;
    • The initial goal will be to ensure that all human survival needs on Earth are met, and all future improvements will be available to all humans.
    If safety and harmlessness are the dogmas behind all design and implementation decisions, all will be well. Those technologies are amenable to being made safe (and probably already have been), and I envision peacekeeping grandmothers to ensure peace in the early years, until nobody needs to be reminded any longer.

    Within the coming generation, AI robotics will be able to do anything that humans do, and better in probably all cases of physical activity. There will be no need for human labor any longer. Indoor farms, placed anywhere on Earth, will be able to feed humanity a hundred times over, with whole, fresh food, as everybody lives to be 100 and healthy the entire way.

    More than 99% of the important effort in transitioning to the Fifth Epoch will be bringing free-energy technology to humanity, and the hard part will be building what I call the choir. The rest will be easy, and I do not expect the Hazel Hendersons of the world, or almost anybody else on Earth, to understand until they can experience the beginning of the Fifth Epoch for themselves. This is typical of all Epochal transitions: people could not imagine the new Epoch until it arrived.

    Best,

    From Substack:

    As the one-year anniversary of my presence at Substack nears, I plan to update my pinned post, which serves as a kind of index of my Substack site. I will be summarizing various topics in posts, and I plan to update those, too, for future posts. I am going to start this process with my media posts. I plan to update this post, so that it becomes the tent pole for my media writings. I will have sections of these summary posts, and here goes.

    My Early Experiences with the Media

    I made some audio posts (with a written summary that was a guide to my audio post), such as this one on my media studies over the years. My relationship with the media began when I was nine and read the local daily newspaper, which my mother eventually worked for. I “graduated” to reading the Los Angeles Times in college. In my disillusioning years in LA, I subscribed to Christian Science Monitor, thinking that I was getting a more sophisticated view of events.

    Then I had my unbelievable journey with Dennis Lee (whose journey is far more unbelievable), and I watched the media lie about him from nearly the day that I met him, which was my first inkling that maybe the media was not a pursuer of the truth. Over the next three years, I saw the media incessantly lie about our efforts, and especially that local paper that I grew up reading and the LA Times. The irony of being targeted by the same newspapers that I grew up reading was rich.

    While Dennis was in jail with his astronomical bail, a roommate mentioned Noam Chomsky, and I had never heard of him. The next year I moved to Ohio, as I picked up the pieces of my shattered life, thoroughly radicalized, and I subscribed to a new magazine, Lies of Our Times, which I heard of while driving to work in LA in early 1990. Edward S. Herman was its editor, and Chomsky wrote an article each month. Thus began my media studies.

    Ed Herman and the Propaganda Model

    When I began reading Lies of Our Times each month, I had no idea that Herman and Chomsky had co-authored Manufacturing Consent or what the Propaganda Model was, and little did I suspect that I would become Ed Herman’s biographer 27 years later. I am still the only one, nearly eight years after his death. Ed was born 100 years ago this past April. I hope that I live to see a professional biography of Ed’s life. He will go down in history as one of the USA’s greatest intellectual dissidents, and Chomsky will undoubtedly be remembered as its greatest. His passing will mark the end of an era.

    Ed invented the Propaganda Model of media analysis, which is a structural model of how the media operates. It is essentially a conflict-of-interest model, which shows how in the capitalist media, the owners, advertisers, and news sources filter what news gets presented, which serves elite interests. Sometimes, news outlets reported a story that threatened elite interests, and those errant outlets then had hell to pay, which Ed called “flak.” The Propaganda Model’s final filter was ideological, which formed a religious atmosphere of identifying out-groups that could be assailed without penalty. When Manufacturing Consent was published in 1988, that final filter was anticommunism, and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union it became “terrorism,” and the wonders of capitalism became an overriding dogma in the triumphant 1990s.

    I did not know any of that when I began subscribing to Lies of Our Times, but I soon fell in love with Ed’s work. I looked forward to my dose of his keen wit each month. Ed often discussed Orwell’s work. But it was Ed’s insights and scientific analysis of the media that garnered my respect for his work, which has never been refuted, and nobody has seriously tried. I wrote a series of Substack posts on Ed’s life and work. I constantly use Ed’s worthy and unworthy victim framework.

    I became Ed’s biographer when I offered to improve his libelous Wikipedia biography, which remains libelous to this day. Ed died in the middle of my project, and he never got to see my work. I’ll carry Ed’s torch for the rest of my life.

    The media is a racket, plain and simple, and it enables and supports the other global rackets. It is not a heavy intellectual lift to understand that. I regularly apply the Propaganda Model to current events. The Propaganda Model will be relevant as long as there is a capitalist media. I am not a fan of Donald Trump (or any president in my adulthood (since 1976), really), but the level of lying about him in the media has been amazing even to me.

    Sam Husseini

    The last email that I received from Ed introduced me to Sam Husseini, and I am one of Sam’s fanboys. Sam has had a penchant for being dragged out of press conferences, and the State Department’s goons gave Sam a concussion earlier this year. Sam is paying a heavy price for his heroism. Sam’s father was Palestinian, and it is not surprising that the genocide in Gaza has been one of Sam’s primary topics since 2023. Sam has been directing his readers to my Substack, but my work is likely not what many of them signed up for. Sam’s torch is another that I will always carry.

    Christopher Black

    Ed’s last email to me also introduced me to Christopher Black. Chris’s feedback on my chapter on Rwanda in Ed’s bio was the first indication that I was doing justice to Ed’s work, and it began my friendship with Chris. Chris was one of Ed’s many coauthors, and Chris is why Ed took on Rwanda as his life’s last great writing project. Chris died of a stroke in June, 2025, and his ordeal in Africa might have shortened his life. Ed did not have a stauncher friend than Chris, and between Ed and Chris, I learned a great deal about how the West continues to bludgeon Africa while the media lies about it. The day after I heard of Chris’s passing, I checked out the latest “election” of Paul Kagame, the USA’s man in central Africa. Of course, Kagame got more than 99% of the “vote,” which Wikipedia could not even be bothered to mention. That is how the USA’s feted client states work, as arguably the greatest living mass murderer is favorably compared to Abraham Lincoln, and getting over 99% of the “vote” does not even elicit any comment in the Western media. I will also carry Chris’s torch for the rest of my life.

    What an honor it has been to have interacted with those great men, which has also been highly educational.

    Best,

    Wade

    Default Re: WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

    From Substack:

    I am receiving offers to discuss my work in video fashion, and that may start soon. While thinking about topics to discuss, I started with my energetic orientation to the issues, and below are some topics that I am prepared to discuss.

    If we study Big Bang cosmology and E = MC2, everything in our universe is energy. What my work does, among other things, is survey the role of energy in our universe, the journey of life on Earth, and the human journey, and what the future portends when humanity has access to abundant, harmlessly produced energy. The technology to produced such energy is older than I am, but is sequestered from public awareness and use by history’s greatest act of organized suppression.

    My work discusses life’s beginnings to the evolution of enzymes, chemosynthesis, photosynthesis, oxygenic photosynthesis (which saved all life on Earth), and aerobic respiration (which made animals possible). Life’s journey on Earth has always depended on energy innovations that acquired more energy. It reached the level eons ago so that, pound-for-pound, a complex cell burns energy 100,000 times as fast as the Sun produces it. Life is a voracious consumer of energy, and all of life’s major energy evolutionary innovations happened before the rise of animals.

    My work then traces the journey of complex life on Earth. Cells cooperated and specialized to make animals, and a key cell is the neuron. Neurons are never at rest, but are constantly maintaining themselves in a ready state so that animals can act quickly, in the dance of predator and prey. Nervous systems are consequently energy hogs, as they spend half of their energy to maintain that ready state. The adult human brain is 2% of a body’s mass but burns 20% of its energy.

    Complex life soon formed complex ecosystems, and the concept of food chains helps understand their basic functioning. At each level, life acquires about 10% of the energy of the lower level in the food chain, which limits food chains to several levels. Those food chains have an inherent instability, in that disruptions at any level can cause the levels above it to collapse. The journey of complex life has been punctuated by mass extinctions, which were basically food-chain disruptions, usually inflicted by volcanism. After those extinction events, previously marginal species could find themselves in a golden age, as they thrived in the recovering ecosystems. Ever since animals made it to land, plants defended against them, with bark, thorns, toxins, and height.

    Earth has cycled through warm and cold periods, which had profound evolutionary impacts, and according to current scientific understanding, which I doubt will change much in its basics, the ultimate reason for those fluctuations has been carbon-dioxide levels, in the carbon cycle on Earth’s surface, driven by volcanism and deposition. Dinosaurs ruled Earth for a 200-million-year warm period. About 150 million years ago, some plants evolved a novel strategy. Instead of defending against animals, they fed them, as a way to reduce their reproductive costs (always primarily expressed in energy), and the flowering plant was born, in the greatest symbiosis of plants and animals ever, which initiated a vast, coevolutionary dance.

    The surviving mammals were the primary beneficiaries of the bolide event that wiped out dinosaurs (beaked birds were the only dinosaurs that survived), and the Eocene began with a very warm period, which has been called the times of paradise, when alligators lived in Greenland and forests grew nearly to the poles. But about 50 million years ago, likely from reduced volcanism and increased deposition from the weathering of new mountain ranges, the Himalayas in particular, Earth’s 200-million-year warm period ended and Earth has cooled ever since into today’s ice age. The first thing that that cooling did was drive warm-climate species to extinction, in the biggest extinction in this age of mammals so far.

    After the demise of dinosaurs, primates migrated to the tropical, fruit-rich canopies and developed opposable thumbs to navigate the arboreal environment. Mammals were always relatively brainy, thought to be because of the heightened senses required to survive in a world dominated by dinosaurs. Primates were always relatively brainy for mammals, thought to be because of the demands of arboreal environments, and the energy-rich canopies fueled those larger, energy-hogging brains. But that cooling-off period made Earth dryer (less evaporation from the ocean), and the tropical canopies began shrinking.

    In Africa, some monkeys began migrating to the forest floor, likely from necessity in the shrinking canopy, and they became apes. Around the same time, a new kind of photosynthesis evolved, which conserved carbon and water in that colder, dryer world. Grasses are the most common users of that new form of photosynthesis, and in that colder, dryer world, not only did the tropical canopies shrink, but grasslands grew, and another great coevolutionary tango began, as animals adapted to the growing grasslands. Browsers became grazers, and the chase of predator and prey on land reached unprecedented velocities, as fast cats and other predators pursued fleet-footed grazers.

    During those changes, Africa collided with Eurasia. Today’s iconic African megafauna mostly evolved outside of Africa, as isolated African animals were the losers in the subsequent competition with the more cosmopolitan Eurasian and North American megafauna. But Africa had two big winners: apes and the elephant family. Elephants made it to North America over 16 million years ago, and the elephant family was the most successful mammal ever, before the rise of humans.

    Soon after that continental collision, in the Pacific Northwest, a huge volcanic event warmed Earth and tropical forests once again blanketed Eurasia, in what has been called the golden age of the ape. About 100 ape species have been discovered that lived during those halcyonic times. But that golden age ended when the volcanism did and Earth began cooling again, in a steady decline to our ice age. Orangutans and gibbons are remnants of that ape migration, and as Earth cooled again, apes were confined to Southeast Asia, Africa, and their peripheries.

    On the woodland and grassland margins of Africa’s rainforests, some apes evolved to become bipedal, which was a first for mammals. There is plenty of investigation and debate on the issue, but ape bipedalism may be six million years old. What is not doubted among scientists is that ape bipedalism is at least four million years old, the earliest crafted stone tools yet found are about 3.3 million years old, and the inventors were bipedal australopiths. Sophisticated tools comprised a first for life on Earth, and they meant greater energetic security for those toolmakers. Not coincidentally, Africa’s giant tortoises soon began going extinct. Armor was a great survival strategy until something defeated it, and giant tortoises had no defense against rock-wielding apes. From then until only a few centuries ago, wherever the human line appeared, giant tortoises were among the first to go.

    Not coincidentally, the brains of tool-making bipedal apes began runaway growth, and in little over a million years, Homo erectus arrived on the evolutionary scene, with a brain twice as large as a chimp’s. That is the most dramatic brain growth in the journey of life on Earth, and there is lively debate over how it was fueled. Homo erectus became an apex predator, and Africa’s megafauna soon began going extinct, especially the elephant family. There is great controversy today on when fire was controlled and language was invented, which Darwin said were humanity’s two greatest accomplishments. Like nearly everything else in such studies, the dates keep being pushed back and language and the control of fire may be two million years old.

    During my years of study, I developed an Epochal framework to better understand the human journey, and the time from those first stone tools to the arrival of behaviorally modern humans, probably less than 100,000 years ago, I call the First Epoch of the human journey, when we became human. There is plenty of debate on just what humanity’s evolutionary relationship is with gorillas and chimps. Did gorillas and chimps never leave Africa’s tropical rainforest, or were their ancestors migrants back to Africa when Earth began cooling again? Did they lose bipedalism, or did they never have it? Those questions will not be resolved in my lifetime. But what is not controversial is that chimps are hundreds of times more aggressive and violent than humans are. Today, a prominent hypothesis is that pair-bonding began with bipedalism, and part of the evidence is reduced canines, which male gorillas and chimps use to fight each other for dominance, which mainly means enhanced mating privileges.

    It is evident that a synergy between energy, tools, intelligence, and evolution resulted in behaviorally modern humans. There seems to have been a genetic bottleneck about 70,000 years ago, and sometime around 60,000 years ago, what is called humanity’s Founder Group left Africa and conquered the world. I call that period, up to the invention of domesticating plants and animals (about 12,000 years ago), the Second Epoch of the human journey. During that conquest, all other human species went extinct, and it was likely not a gentle process. Also, Earth’s large animals largely vanished, and it was also not a coincidence.

    I have studied these issues at length, and my conclusion is that behaviorally modern humans were an irresistible force, and nothing could stand in their way. They quickly drove all other human species to extinction, while mating with them when they could, and Earth’s easy meat went extinct during that process, as it fueled the human expansion, especially in Australia and the Americas. The elephant family thrived in the Americas for many millions of years, to suddenly go 100% extinct soon after humans arrived.

    There are humanity-defending scientists who deny those events, as they blame climate change for those extinctions instead of the greatest predator in Earth’s history. I have called their mental gymnastics the “Anything But Homo sapiens” hypothesis. A related line of reasoning asserts that humans lived largely in peace until the rise of agriculture and civilization (which I call the Third Epoch). Warfare goes back at least to chimps. It is all humanity-defending sophistry, in my opinion, and those kinds of stances have helped obscure how far we have come. Industrial societies are far more peaceful and humane than anything that came before them. I believe that that romanticization of the human past has done a disservice to our collective understanding.

    About 25% of hunter-gatherer men died violently in the Second Epoch. In skeletal studies of Australian aborigines, which stayed hunter-gatherers until the British invasion, about a quarter of the men and a third of the women had skull fractures from interpersonal violence, and the women got it from their husbands (and such women were often stolen from neighboring societies). Hobbes won that fictional debate with Rousseau.

    No society in which half of its children died can ever be convincingly romanticized. In hunter-gatherer societies, somewhere around half of those dead children were killed by their parents as an economic burden, mainly due to food scarcity. The elderly were also slaughtered, especially when food was scarce. The biological compulsion to survive and reproduce in a world of scarcity is at the root of all violence. Industrialized humans live more peaceful lives because they live in relative abundance, no longer living on the thin edge of survival. Until industrialization, everybody lived with the specter of dying an early and/or violent death.

    While agrarian societies did not invent warfare, it reached new forms, like many other aspects of human societies did. Instead of stealing women in hunter-gatherer societies, in agrarian societies stealing people in general, and enslaving them, became standard practice, and especially with the rise of civilization. The earliest surviving written laws were significantly devoted to slave treatment. Slavery only ended when energy-driven machines devalued brute human labor. There were some relatively peaceful interludes in the Third Epoch, mainly when women, who largely invented agriculture, as an adjunct to their gathering duties, became so prominent that some societies became matrilocal and multilocal. That process broke up the gangs of related males, and those are generally the human journey’s most peaceful preindustrial societies.

    The prerequisite for sedentary life was a stable energy source. Animal migration routes were a short-lived energy resource that led to the first villages, until the animals were driven to extinction. Some hunter-gatherers were able to exploit aquatic resources, such as eels in Australia and salmon in the Pacific Northwest. But they were rare exceptions to nomadic life until plant domestication (also, there were some acorn-based sedentary economies before domestication).

    A prerequisite to civilization was low-energy transportation lanes, always on shorelines, as water transport was only about 1% as energetically expensive as overland travel. The first civilization in Sumer invented the first non-muscle power in the sailboat.

    From the very first civilizations, with few exceptions, if any, they conquered each other, and rising and falling empires characterized the “civilized” phase of the Third Epoch, which had prodigious bloodshed, because there were so many more people. Earth’s human population grew by a thousand times in the Second Epoch and by about two hundred times in the Third Epoch. No species ever dominated Earth like that before.

    Mobile hunter-gatherers could not afford to have alpha males that tried to turn their bands into their personal fiefs, so men were kept humble and even killed when they became threatening to their societies, which is thought to have culled most psychopathic genes from societies. But once there was an energy surplus that could be appropriated, then men violently rose to elite status, and we have elites with us to this day.

    There were four “pristine” civilizations, and they all looked similar, as a kind of convergent evolution. Muscle-based farming could only produce so much surplus energy, which required at least 80% of the population to be involved in raising food. The work was backbreaking, and heavily taxed peasants and slaves did the hard work, while feeding professionals and elites.

    Northwestern Europe was a backwater for millennia, with repeated conquests, including by Celts and Romans. Rome and imperial China reached the peak of ancient empires, and they ruled over more than half of humanity two millennia ago. When Rome fell, Northwestern Europe became a backwater again for a few centuries, until the Medieval Warm Period. Greek engineers invented the waterwheel, which was the first non-muscle power harnessed on land. Rome used watermills, and Northwestern Europe embraced the watermill like no peoples had previously done, and it was the heart of what has been called the Medieval Industrial Revolution, which was a time of city-building in Europe. The Domesday Survey of 1086 counted several thousand watermills in England, and by the Industrial Revolution, there were a half million watermills in Europe.

    The Medieval Warm Period gave way to the Little Ice Age, and the 1300s were a century of calamity for Europe, with famines, wars, and the bubonic plague, as troubadours with their tales of courtly love were replaced by the Danse Macabre.

    The prerequisite for Europe’s coming conquest of Earth was the technical feat of turning Earth’s ocean into a low-energy transportation lane. The oceangoing sailing ship was the greatest energy technology in world history to its time, which generated several hundred horsepower under full sail (a waterwheel only generated a few horsepower). The European conquest of Earth is the greatest demographic catastrophe in world history, which devastated nearly all of Earth’s people, with the partial exception of the Chinese and Ottoman empires (and the self-isolated Japanese), until they too succumbed to Europeans.

    In the midst of the European scramble for the world, a deforested England turned to coal like no peoples had ever done before, and more than anything else, that led to the Industrial Revolution. Each Epoch of the human journey was made possible by energy breakthroughs, from stone tools to the control of fire to domesticating plants and animals to hydrocarbon fuels. Without those breakthroughs, those Epochs would not have happened, and bipedal, small-brained apes might still be eking out an existence in Africa and the human journey never happened. But those sophisticated tools began a synergistic cycle of energy, tools, and intelligence, both individual and collective.

    The Industrial Revolution created an unprecedented increase in standards of living, as energy-driven machines performed feats far beyond human ability. The average American is richer than Earth’s richest man of three centuries ago, as they benefit from the equivalent of hundreds of human slaves each day. The Industrial Revolution led to the biggest event in the human journey so far: the elimination of childhood death. Contrary to medical-racket propaganda, that change had almost nothing to do with medical interventions, but came from improvements in sanitation, nutrition, and hygiene. Instead of the deaths of half of all children, in industrial societies, almost none die.

    My ancestors participated in the conquest and “settlement” of North America, and Europeans stole a rich continent, with intact forests and soils, and later, prodigious hydrocarbon deposits, which led to history’s richest and most powerful nation, which has been in decline once its easy oil began running out. The house that my family bought in 1967 is worth ten times as much in real dollars today (and 40 times in nominal dollars), which shows a marked decline in my society’s standard of living.

    To back up a little, my adventures, and those of my fellow travelers, made it clear to us that a global elite exists, which operates far above what I call the retail elite (politicians, billionaires, etc.). That global elite is largely invisible to the public, as that is good for business. People will only encounter the global elite if their activities impact the global cartels, which I call rackets, and the greatest of them is the energy racket. Elites are as old as civilization, and my sense is that a global elite began forming during Europe’s conquest of Earth. Today, those rackets run the global economy.

    Everything that we see happening in the Middle East today is because of the oil there, which is history’s greatest material prize. As Bucky Fuller said, if oil was priced at the benefit that humanity derived from it, it would sell for a million dollars a barrel. I have provided illustrations of Fuller’s concept.

    And there are many downsides of industrialization. One of which is that we are burning up fossil fuels a million times as fast as they were created, and in this century, at current trajectories, those fossil fuels, especially oil and gas, will largely be burned up. All of the easy hydrocarbons have already been mined, and the last big cache is in the Middle East, and the West has been inflicting oil-control genocides and other crimes there for more than a century, which may lead to World war III.

    Not only that, but humanity has been making Earth uninhabitable, which arguably began with the demise of giant tortoises in Africa millions of years ago. Earth’s atmosphere has been warming, consistent with scientific understanding of carbon-dioxide’s role, which has not changed since the 1800s. The last time that Earth transitioned from an ice age to a greenhouse Earth, the greatest extinction event in the eon of complex life happened.

    Humanity has its toes over the edge of the abyss, in what I call a race of the catastrophes scenario. I know a way out, maybe the only way out, and that is what my work is all about.

    To make a long story very short, I was raised to be a scientist from the cradle, but my life began to veer from orthodoxy when I was 12, in 1970, and my family changed its diet from processed food to whole food to save my father’s health, which resulted in a health miracle. The book that inspired that change was banned in the USA the next decade for being contrary to medical dogma. It turned out that medical dogma was wrong, and that book’s advice forms orthodoxy’s first line of defense today. I am surprised that I lived to see it.

    A watershed year in my life was 1974. My first professional mentor invented what a federal study concluded was the best engine in the world for running an automobile. A rocket scientist became that engine’s greatest champion, and when that engine began making the news, I got my first energy dreams. My parents sent me to Europe for two months that summer, and I came home with my adult mind. A few months later, my family took a meditation course and I had my first paranormal experiences, which ruined me as a mainstream scientist before I ever began. Five years later, a former astronaut, Brian O’Leary, had the same experience while performing the same exercise, which also ruined him as a mainstream scientist. Brian was an Ivy League professor at the time. He was politically active and advised presidential candidates.

    Three years after my first paranormal experience, a desperate prayer was answered, which changed my studies from science to business. Even I sometimes have a hard time believing that it happened. Eight years of idealism and disillusionment later, a second (and so far last) desperate prayer landed me in the middle of the greatest attempt ever made to bring alternative energy to the American marketplace, and my wild ride began.

    The company that hired me put the world’s best heating system on people’s homes for free, in the most brilliant and benevolent business strategy that I ever saw. But it was inadvertently threatening to electric-company revenues in my home state of Washington, and the local oligarchy pulled out all the stops to wipe out the company. Even the Rockefellers got involved, and the global elite probably also did. I got to witness the final death blows and the theft of the company, but the company’s owner, Dennis Lee, could not get rid of me and I chased him to Boston where I soon became his partner. We were no longer just trying to market the world’s best heating system (it still is), but we were chasing after free energy.

    We attracted the interest of the global elite immediately, and we soon received an offer from them for $10 million for our idea. I brought in my first professional mentor to assess what we were doing, and he and Dennis made a deal (without my knowledge) to bring our effort to the town where I was raised: Ventura, California. My mentor soon proposed hooking up his engine to Dennis’s heating system to produce free energy. Over the next three years, my life was ruined. The global elite took the game to a new level, and mere weeks before Dennis was arrested with a million-dollar bail, the CIA offered him $1 billion to fold our operation.

    When I became Dennis’s partner in January, 1987, we had no idea that there even was a free-energy field, in our ignorance, but we began learning fast. Before we were wiped out, we became an alternative-energy mecca, and many grim tales came to us. Dennis should be dead dozens of times over, and I saw many shattered and shortened lives on my journey. In 1990 I left Ventura and have not been back. But soon before I left, I heard of a free-energy inventor with the goods, and it was the first time that I heard that what we were pursing was not a fantasy. The next year, I met Brian, and he knew that free-energy inventor, Sparky Sweet.

    Even though I rescued Dennis from jail, he was still kangarooed into prison, where the officials repeatedly tried to get him killed by the inmates, which nearly worked. Dennis got “lucky,” with “only” some broken fingers and teeth knocked out.

    I began my years of study once I left Ventura, which have not ended. I not only became familiar with the free-energy community, one close friend was kidnapped by a faction of the global elite and shown free-energy, antigravity, and a host of mind-boggling technologies. At least in this area, the craziest conspiracy theories are largely true.

    The year after I met Brian, he co-founded a new-science organization and hosted a UFO conference. Steven Greer attended, and it was early in his Disclosure Project efforts. At the conference, Brian was approached by high-ranking military officials, who tried to recruit him into classified UFO projects. When Brian refused their “offer,” those officials tried to take over the conference, and Brian nearly died immediately after the conference, which Brian later thought was a murder attempt, which shortened his life. The closest that Brian came to publicly discussing the incident was in his last book. He was afraid that the spooks would finish the job if he spoke out. Those same officials dangled $2 billion to try to co-opt Greer’s efforts, and when he refused, they mounted a smear campaign against him.

    In 1996, Brian published his first free-energy book and I became his biggest fan. Brian then began his ride as the Paul Revere of Free Energy. Dennis began barnstorming the USA at the same time. His second tour ended in Philadelphia, in the stadium where the 76-ers play and 5,000 people attended, for the biggest free-energy gathering in history. Dennis had been working on me since I busted him out of jail and I went back to work with him after the show. I should not have, and I nearly went to prison myself that time, as the global elite took the game to a new level and subjected us to a sophisticated sting operation, with a $1 trillion trust, Indian nations, and a Manhattan penthouse suite.

    The next year, Greer mounted his famous Disclosure Project Congressional hearings, the global elite apparently induced advanced forms of cancer into his team, and only Greer survived. In 2001, Brian and I had an epic note-trading session, and I heard how his ride as the Paul Revere of Free Energy went. Brian had access to the tops of the world’s leading academic, scientific, and “progressive” organizations, and nearly all that he received were crazed reactions of denial and fear.

    Two years later, right after the USA’s invasion of Iraq, which is the greatest crime of the 21st century so far, Brian asked me to co-found a free-energy organization. Once again, I should have declined the invitation, as that effort was going nowhere. I was the only member who had been through the free-energy meat grinder, and the rest were largely naïve. When we began planning a conference the next year, the first person to commit as a speaker was murdered a few days later. Brian immediately began planning his move to South America, and I did not blame him.

    A couple of years after that, Dennis arrived at my home to invite me to the White House. George Bush the Second’s energy advisor was arranging an eve-of-the-election demonstration of Dennis’s technologies, and a high-MPG carburetor was the centerpiece of Dennis’s efforts at the time. Such carburetors have been around for a century, but the public does not get any. The wheels began coming off of that effort when David Rockefeller called Dennis at home, to ask about Dennis’s national ad for his carburetor, before the ad ran. The wheels of government then began grinding, and Dennis was soon banned from the energy industry.

    The same year, I did an interview with Brian, and he asked me to help him write a proposal to the Department of Energy (“DOE”). I had spoken at DOE hearings in 1997 regarding the nuclear waste issue, and the official who ran the hearings admitted how corrupt the DOE was. The year after that I became Brian’s biographer, wrote his NASA bio and got it published, and improved his Wikipedia bio. The year after that, Brian died, as his life was shortened by that encounter with the spooks. Soon before he died, Brian informed me that electoral politics was a dead-end, but I had long known that.

    When I busted Dennis out of jail, the former policeman who fought the same corrupt officials who had jailed Dennis gave me advice that led to my busting Dennis out of jail, in the greatest miracle that I ever witnessed. That policeman heard from a frightened U.S. Senator, three weeks after the JFK assassination, that JFK was killed in a backfired CIA operation, which he described in his 1987 book. The next decade, Operation Northwoods was declassified, which richly corroborated that policeman’s account. Today, the leading JFK-hit hypothesis is essentially my policeman-friend’s story, without giving him any credit. My takeaway from the JFK hit is that with his murder, the American presidency was permanently demoted. David Rockefeller handpicked all presidents since JFK while he was alive, and he was likely involved in JFK’s murder. All American presidents since JFK have been puppets and knew it. Brian was right: what I call retail politics is useless for addressing our existential issues.

    In Greer’s recent movie, he discussed the methods of organized suppression, and I was intimately familiar with all but one of them. Greer also discussed the problems with free-energy inventors, and I could tell that he had been around the block with them a few times. What I came to call inventoritis Greer called Crazy Inventor Syndrome, as inventors see themselves as messiahs and expect to be paid a trillion dollars. But the antics of inventors are just one aspect of what I call the free-energy field’s state of arrested development.

    I learned my lifetime’s greatest lessons in my first stint with Dennis, and ever since I groped toward my approach today, which I call the love and enlightenment approach, which I have never seen tried before. But almost nobody on Earth is fit for the duty, which I learned the hard way, and I know who I am looking for: disillusioned idealists.

    The greatest triumph of the global elite and their social managers is making the world that arrives with free energy unimaginable, and the masses oblige them, reacting in denial and fear at the mere mention of free energy. The arrival of free energy for public use will usher in what I have called the Fifth Epoch of the human journey. The easily foreseen outcomes include the end of:
    That is just for starters. Nations will be one of the first things to go. As Greer has stated, the arrival of free energy means the end of the world as we know it.

    This post is a rough outline of some of the topics that I am ready and willing to discuss. It would obviously be a vast discussion, and interviews will only take a bite of it here and there. But it would be a start, and it might humanize the material a bit more.

    Best,

    Wade

    Default Re: WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

    From Substack:

    As I did with my media post summary, this will be my summary of posts on the American Empire, with subsections. This task is presenting challenges of organization, as there is great overlap in the subjects that I deal with, which is an outcome of taking a comprehensive approach. As I looked through my hundreds of posts, I see that I will need to break off some American Empire subjects into their own summaries, such as Donald Trump’s current presidency.

    As an American, I can speak most knowledgably about the workings of my great nation, which is history’s richest and most powerful, and an empire that pretends that it is not one. After my radicalizing days in the pursuit of free energy, I began my days of study, which continue. After my first stint with Dennis Lee, I realized that how the world really worked bore little resemblance to how I was taught that it worked. Seeing how the media and legal systems really worked, when they targeted us, was part of the education of my lifetime, the kind that people cannot buy.

    My imperial studies began when my media studies did, starting with Ralph McGehee’s CIA memoirs. He exposed the CIA as a handmaiden of genocide, and as I will come to soon, the CIA was involved with the murder of JFK and its cover-up. A couple of years later, I read Howard Zinn’s work, which was the first time that I saw Christopher Columbus’s image tarnished. As fate would have it, I read that while I worked in Columbus, Ohio, during the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the “discovery” of America. Needless to say, my views on Columbus Day have changed.

    I read David Stannard’s devastating American Holocaust the same year, and it was the first time that I saw Junípero Serra’s image tarnished. I went to a grammar school named after him, just down the street from the house that I was raised in, and I won its first spelling bee. Serra was literally sainted in 2015, but I came to understand that Serra was the Hitler of California, and his chief legacy was the extermination of California’s coastal Indians, from San Francisco to San Diego.

    I was born in Washington State, and early in my studies I learned that George Washington, that greatest of Founding Fathers, is arguably history’s greatest swindler, as he architected the plan to steal a continent, which worked brilliantly. I learned that the heroes, saints, and Founding Fathers that I was raised to admire were really mass-murdering thieves and genocidists. With genocide comes great propaganda, to this day, and Wikipedia cannot even bring itself to mention Washington’s greatest achievement.

    I eventually learned that all societies do that. It is a way of forming in-group cohesion, which all social animals do, and the American method is heavy with delusions. I began studying the American and Western mythology that I was fed nearly from the cradle, and how the American Empire was built. The American imperial reality will never be fairly dealt with the mainstream media, as it is an imperial tool and a racket unto itself.

    At Substack, I have not gotten into much detail on the 19th century, as the USA was busy stealing a continent, but I have written on it at length in my site’s essays, such as here. Although George Washington called the new nation an infant empire, the USA did not become a proper empire until the early 20th century, as it digested Hawaii, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico. The USA was already the world’s greatest industrial power before the World Wars, and World War II ended with the USA’s unprecedented global hegemony. We were somehow the leader of the “free world” as we eagerly hired and protected death-camp Nazis and began invading and overthrowing governments with abandon, in neocolonial style. American foreign policy has long been the greatest force of evil on Earth, at least for what is visible.

    I was born during humanity’s most prosperous era, and I am a member of history’s most privileged demographic group: a white, straight, male, American baby-boomer professional.

    John F. Kennedy

    I was five years old when I saw my grief-stricken mother watch JFK’s funeral. Little did I suspect that 25 years later, I met a former policeman, Gary Wean (audio version), who heard from a frightened U.S. Senator that JFK was killed in a backfired CIA operation that was intended to stage a fake assassination attempt on JFK and frame Fidel Castro for it, to justify an invasion of Cuba. Gary published the account of his encounter with that Senator in his 1987 book. In 1997, the Operation Northwoods document was declassified, which was a 1962 plan made by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to stage fake terror incidents and frame Castro for them, to justify an invasion of Cuba. The Joint Chief’s plan was revived just as the CIA began its false-flag operation in early 1963. As soon as the Northwoods document was declassified, Gary’s testimony should have been the foundation of all subsequent JFK-assassination research efforts, but Gary’s testimony is still largely unacknowledged.

    With the latest round of declassified documents, the most prominent narrative, which swirls around Oswald, the CIA, Cuba, and E. Howard Hunt, is nearly exactly Gary’s testimony, but it is still largely ignored and dismissed by JFK-assassination researchers. It is the elephant in the room that few will acknowledge, which is a black mark against the JFK-assassination researcher community, not to mention the mainstream media, as many in those ranks do not seem to be able to impartially weigh the evidence.

    I concluded from my studies that JFK was a lukewarm imperialist and had to go. Gary had other connections to the JFK hit. In 1947, Gary had a conversation with Jack Ruby, who was a close associate of Mickey Cohen, who was a close associate of Menachem Begin. Ruby was a high-ranking Jewish mobster, not the small-time nightclub owner that the Warren Commission portrayed him as. The Ruby/Cohen/Begin connection was one of several for why Gary is the originator of the hypothesis that Israel was behind the JFK hit. Israel was definitely a beneficiary of JFK’s murder and it may well have been involved, but I think that it was more muscle than mastermind if it was, as plenty of interests in the USA also wanted JFK dead. Although it is not that important to me, my money is on the Eastern Oligarchy and Military-Industrial Complex, and the Rockefellers were likely involved. The CIA is the standing army of the Fortune 500, and Rockefeller-fixer Allen Dulles led the cover-up of JFK’s murder. Dulles despised the man who fired him.

    For me, the greatest lesson of the JFK hit and cover-up is that with his murder, the American presidency was permanently demoted. All presidents since JFK were puppets and knew it. The JFK hit is relevant to many aspects of my work.

    Israel and Gaza

    Noam Chomsky is Jewish, and so was Ed Herman. They were my first influences in studying the media, and I always thought that they were at their best when calling out American imperial behavior and the media’s treatment of it, which they also thought was their most important work. But they also wrote about Israel a great deal, as their duty as Jews. My relationship to the Israel issue is a complicated one (1, 2). A nation founded in the wake of an industrial genocide, which itself is committing genocide against the people that lived where that nation was violently established, with nearly unwavering American support, has been one of my grimmer subjects of study. Even the Israeli polio campaign in Gaza is highly suspect. Ed wrote that Israel was the tail that often wagged the imperial American dog.

    The ongoing genocide in Gaza has been horrific to witness, as the West fully supports Israel. Israel’s attacks on Iran are not only the height of hypocrisy, as Israel has its own unacknowledged nuclear arsenal, but they risk igniting World War III, which many commentators have argued has already begun. For one of many connections to the JFK hit, Marilyn Monroe was used by Cohen, Begin, and friends as part of an influence-peddling and blackmail scheme against JFK, and I strongly suspect that what Jeffrey Epstein had going was a descendant operation.

    The Middle East

    I see Israel as a Middle East flashpoint, and none of what we see happening there would occur unless that region held history’s greatest material prize. It is ultimately all about the oil in the Middle East, which explains the West’s meddling, nation-inventing, invasions, governmental overthrows (1, 2, 3), and genocides, which Western pundits just can’t seem to see.

    Russia and Ukraine

    Ed spent his last years writing about how Russia was demonized in the press and his last articles posted to the Internet were about that. Ed wrote about the 2014 American-backed coup in Ukraine since it happened. In a continuation of the USA’s love affair with Nazis, neo-Nazis are prominent in Ukraine and they were essential for the 2014 coup. The USA’s goading Russia into joining the war in Eastern Ukraine brought the world the closest to nuclear war since Kennedy. Ukraine is just the latest disposable pawn that the USA had used against Russia and the Soviet Union.

    Africa, Latin America, and East Asia

    The USA has inflicted dozens of invasions, wars, and genocides, often by covert means, arming and protecting our proxies, or doing it “retail,” such as in Indochina, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Ed and Noam wrote at length about those behaviors, in Africa, Latin America, Indochina, and elsewhere. Only white people were spared, unless they were Slavic.

    Imperial Presidential Puppets

    The “human rights” president, Jimmy Carter, presided over the greatest proportional genocide since World War II, and he was a “good emperor.” Every American president for more than a century has been a bloodstained emperor. It comes with the job. They have all known that they were nowhere near the top of the world’s power structure, especially after the JFK experience. Carter poked his nose into the UFO issue and was put in his place. Bill Clinton knew to stay far away from it. Clinton tried to reform part of the medical racket when his presidency began, and he was quickly shown his place.

    To one degree or another, all American presidents, especially since JFK, were aware of their puppet status. Ronald Reagan was a vegetable after the assassination attempt, and the system simply covered it up and chugged along. It is finally being admitted what a vegetable Joe Biden was when he was president. What an embarrassing imperial spectacle that demonstrates that the presidency is a largely ceremonial office.

    In 2006, I turned down an invitation to the White House, and I am happy that I did.

    Retail Politics

    If American presidents are puppets, which politician’s aren’t? What I call retail politics is a farce. None of the big decisions on Earth are made by the world’s politicians. The global elite call the shots, not politicians or the retail elite. Bucky Fuller called politicians “stooges” of the economic interests. The USA has a highly peculiar political environment.

    The “War on Terror” and 9/11

    Bill Clinton protected Osama bin Laden only two years before the 9/11 terror attacks, as bin Laden was an important imperial asset. There was far more than met the eye happening on 9/11, and it “justified” quite an imperial rampage, in the greatest gift that the neocons could imagine, maybe just a bit too fortuitously.

    The General Corruption of American Society

    On my odyssey, I learned that it would be a mistake to blame politicians, the retail elite, or the global elite for our predicament. American society is corrupt, from top to bottom, from end to end. All too often, the police are gangsters, officials are murderers (although they can outsource it), prosecutors don’t even care if their targets are innocent or not, and they will lie as much as they need tom in order to gain their coveted convictions. The criminality of our system is everywhere. Obstacles to the rackets are wiped out. At the grocery store where I shop, people shoplift all day long, as a “sport.” Criminality is fun. This is just what a world of scarcity and fear looks like, it used to be far worse, and Western civilization is well on its way to collapse as it runs out of energy.

    There is only one way out that I know of.

    Best,

    From Substack:

    I am beginning these summary posts with my experiences in those subjects. My writings rarely stray far from my experiences. Bringing free energy to humanity is what my work is all about.

    I was trained to be a scientist from the cradle, and when my first professional mentor invented what a federal study concluded was the best engine in the world for powering an automobile, my energy journey began. Over the next twelve years, paranormal experiences (1, 2) guided my path of idealism and disillusionment and landed me in the middle of the biggest attempt ever made to bring alternative energy to the American marketplace, in which the world’s best heating system was put on people’s homes for free. That effort was wiped out by vested energy interests. Then my wild ride began. I became partners with the owner of my company, and we pursued free energy. The global elite immediately tried to buy us out for $10 million, and the next year, they raised their offer to $1 billion before they wiped out our effort. We were trying to marry that engine with that heating system.

    We encountered nearly the full spectrum of free-energy suppression tactics that the global elite engage in, as they defended the greatest racket on Earth, in history’s greatest cover-up (1, 2). My life was ruined in those days, but I rescued my partner from a lifetime in prison and almost certain death. We reunited briefly several years later, and the global elite subjected us to an elaborate sting operation. Several years after that, a former astronaut recruited me into a public-education effort on free energy, that was the last time that I signed on with a free-energy effort, and I have been rolling my own ever since. No organization on Earth today is fit for the task. Free-energy efforts and have few allies and many enemies. Peak Oilers are addicted to scarcity, phony “philanthropists” are no help, and fraudulent mainstream “solutions” are continually paraded. The retail elite are not going to help.

    During my journey, I learned that free-energy technology was a reality. The first time that I heard about it was via a local inventor, who also had hell to pay. Years later, a close friend was kidnapped by a dissident faction of the global elite for an underground exotic technology show (1), which included free energy and antigravity technology demonstrations (and much more). Most of what he saw was likely developed from ET technology.

    During those adventures, I learned more than I ever thought that I would about the free-energy field, which follows.

    Mainstream science is a dead-end for free-energy efforts. The vast majority of scientists object to the very idea of free energy, with their “laws of physics” objection and the dismissal of organized suppression as a “conspiracy theory.” As usual in these areas, the giants of physics did not deny free energy, but the hack class does, which comprises the vast majority of scientists, and those people usually engage in naïve dismissals. Einstein’s protégé, David Bohm, thought that free energy was possible, but he was run out of the USA by the McCarthy Communist witch hunts.

    The free-energy field itself is in a state of arrested development, with its focus on inventors (who go crazy), scientists, mounting capitalist efforts, mass-movement efforts, and the like. I have seen it all, which led to my approach, which I call the love and enlightenment approach, which took me many years to develop. This is the toughest nut on Earth to crack (1). I have proposed what a successful effort might look like.

    My work has often been compared to Steven Greer’s, but I am doing something different. My astronaut friend had some keen insights on who can put it over the top, and he said that there was a Suppression Syndrome that we are all complicit in. There are very good reasons why no independent effort has been successful and why free energy remains on the fringes.

    The arrival of free energy will end the world as we know it (1). Hardly anybody can even imagine free energy, and few reach productive perspectives. Understanding the Epochal significance of free energy is not easy. On a positive note, for a few years after the USA nuked Japan, there was a global conversation on the potential of nuclear energy, before the dangers were realized. Those people had a good idea of its transformative potential.

    After my odyssey, which I was young and idealistic enough to survive, I began my days of study, and eventually developed my Epochal framework to better understand the human journey, and each Epoch was founded its energy practices (1). Humans are energy windfall opportunists, but all animals are. I also couched my narrative in the big picture of our universe and life on Earth. I bring it all together in my work and course in comprehensive thinking.

    From Substack:

    The energy and medical rackets are the two that I know best. My introduction to the medical racket was 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. The book that inspired that change was banned in the USA for being contrary to medical dogma. That dogma was false, that banned book’s advice forms medical orthodoxy’s first line of defense, and I am amazed that I lived to see that.

    My original medical-racket essay focused on degenerative disease and the worthless treatments for them that Western medicine vended. Degenerative-disease treatment has been a racket (1) in the USA for more than a century. That racket is not interested in cures, but instead provides lucrative and worthless management of symptoms while ignoring the primary cause: metabolic disease from processed food, and I long suspected something like it. I got a Mercola article on it recently, which was one of many articles on metabolic disease that I have seen in recent years. The cancer racket was the medical-racket arm that I knew best. However, I have had quite a crash course on the infectious-disease racket in recent years.

    While I covered infectious disease at some length in my original medical-racket essay, especially the dubious success of vaccines, I did not know the extent of the infectious-disease racket until the COVID-19 pandemic, when it got shoved in everybody’s face.

    Earlier this year, I made a summary post for my medical-racket writings, which will make this new and improved summary post shorter than it would otherwise be, and this is the summary that I will update for future posts.

    I think that the germ theory of disease is flawed, maybe greatly so. Polio and AIDS are almost certainly chemical-poisoning diseases that were blamed on viruses, making vaccines and viral treatments an exercise in futility. Vaccines kill about 10,000 infants in the USA each year, and it is all being covered-up, as usual. My favorite vaccine statistic is that the measles death rate in England declined by 99.96% before the vaccine was introduced. Measles is a good example of the infectious-disease racket at work, and one of my favorite vaccine dissidents is Suzanne Humphries, who was on Joe Rogan’s show recently. I rarely watch long videos, but I made an exception for Humphries. MDs like her have often risked or lost their careers to speak out. Her heroism is highly unusual.

    The media has long been a medical-racket mouthpiece, and it was never more apparent than during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has been a prominent topic of mine in recent years. People around me have been killed and crippled by the COVID vaccine. I’ll be hearing about the pandemic for the rest of my life, but I did not know how bad it had gotten and how it got that way until I read RFK, Jr.’s masterpiece on Anthony Fauci and the medical racket.

    When Kennedy ran for president, I was intrigued. His stance on Israel was appalling, not the least of which is that it might have been involved with his uncle’s murder and maybe even his father’s. When he dropped out and joined Trump’s campaign, I wondered what it might lead to, and it likely helped Trump win the presidency.

    I never thought that I would live to see somebody like Kennedy lead the USA’s medical bureaucracy, especially after writing a book that lambasted the previous occupant of that office. I doubted that Kennedy would be confirmed by the Senate, and there was a full-court press to deny it to him. The confirmation hearings were a farce, especially the hysteria over the vaccine issue (1, 2). I have seen almost daily attacks (1) on Kennedy in the media since he took office, on the vaccine/autism connection, measles, fluoride, etc. Kennedy called out Bill Gates’s genocidal “philanthropy” in his book on Fauci, and Kennedy is not letting up.

    Our medical system is broken, from top to bottom, medical science is the flimsiest and most corrupt branch of science, and Kennedy is facing an uphill battle. We will see what kind of dent he makes.

    From Substack:

    In January, 1989, when I sought to save the life of my partner, Dennis Lee, I met Gary Wean, a former policeman who had fought the same corrupt officials who had Dennis incarcerated. Dennis was in solitary confinement when I met Gary, and it was looking like Dennis would never live to see this side of the bars again. Gary’s advice was critical to my springing Dennis out of jail two months later, in the greatest miracle that I ever witnessed. Gary had my eternal gratitude for that alone. He went out of his way to help me.

    I met Gary after reading a lot of his book, which was published in 1987. A chapter of his book presented an incredible meeting that he had with a frightened U.S. Senator, three weeks after the John F. Kennedy assassination. Gary attended the meeting because of his friendship with Audie Murphy. According to that Senator, John Tower, JFK was killed in a backfired CIA operation that was intended to stage a fake assassination attempt on JFK and frame Fidel Castro for it, to justify an invasion of Cuba. Lee Harvey Oswald was a military intelligence operative whom E. Howard Hunt recruited into the operation. Unknown interests interposed the operation and turned a fake assassination into a real one, and Oswald paid with his life.

    When I read that, it was a minor revelation, as I was trying to save Dennis’s life. The next year, I got married, moved to Ohio, and began my days of study. The year after that, the movie JFK came out, which revived interest in the JFK assassination, and an avalanche of books were published in its wake. The JFK assassination then became one of many topics that I studied. I knew that Gary had recounted his Tower conversation to the best of his recollection, and my effort was pretty simple: compare the best evidence to Gary’s account. I never saw a credible piece of evidence contradict Gary’s account, and as more evidence came to light, it only further corroborated Gary’s account. I first published my findings in the spring of 2001.

    As fate would have it, just before I published my essay, the first book was published, Body of Secrets, which described Operation Northwoods. Northwoods was eerily similar to what Tower described. I did not read the account in Body of Secrets until years after I published my essay. Northwoods was declassified in 1997; ten years after Gary published his book.

    Northwoods was a plan invented by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to stage fake terror incidents in the USA and frame Castro for them, to justify an invasion of Cuba. Northwoods was first proposed in early 1962. Kennedy shot it down and made it clear that he would not take military action against Cuba. Northwoods was revived in early 1963, just when the plan that Tower spoke of was mounted. Kennedy was not in the loop on either operation, which was typical of his presidency.

    When Body of Secrets was published, Gary’s account of the Tower conversation should have become the foundation of all JFK-assassination theories, but it remains largely unacknowledged to this day, dismissed by JFK-assassination researches and others on ludicrous pretexts. It shows how poor that community can be with evaluating evidence.

    With the latest batch of declassified JFK-assassination documents earlier this year, the leading hypothesis reads almost exactly like Gary’s story, as it swirls around Oswald, Hunt, the CIA, and Cuba. It is essentially Gary’s reporting of the Tower conversation, minus interposing the operation. Gary’s testimony is the elephant in the room that nearly everybody ignores, and I have never seen a JFK-assassination story that has aged as well as Gary’s.

    Gary had multiple connections to the JFK hit, one of which was that Gary put the Jewish mobster Mickey Cohen under surveillance as part of his job. Gary repeatedly saw Jack Ruby in Cohen’s company, and Gary even had a conversation with Ruby in 1947. Ruby was not the small-time nightclub owner that the Warren Commission portrayed him as; he was a high-ranking Jewish mobster. Gary also regularly saw Cohen with Menachem Begin, the mass-murdering terrorist, future Israeli prime minister, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Gary put them under surveillance, and one of their conversations was all about JFK. They were obsessed with JFK, and they left that meeting at a diner to meet at Melvin Belli’s home, which future Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger also attended. Belli was Ruby’s attorney after he killed Oswald.

    Gary also surveilled the pool party at Peter Lawford’s Malibu home where JFK was introduced to Marilyn Monroe, during the Democratic Party convention where JFK was nominated. Gary learned that Monroe was being used by Cohen and Begin in an influence-peddling and blackmail scheme against JFK. Gary asserted that Monroe was murdered because she knew too much and was unlikely to keep quiet. The operation that Jeffrey Epstein ran I consider a likely descendant of the Monroe operation.
    Gary had another connection to the JFK hit, as a phone call came from Ventura County that predicted JFK’s murder, only minutes before it happened (search “phone records” in this document). Gary handed those records to Bobby Kennedy the day before he was murdered. If JFK was not killed by a lone nut, then Bobby certainly wasn’t.

    Gary eventually opened the envelope that Tower handed him, and Gary argued that Arlen Specter was among those who turned a fake assassination into a real one.

    Because of all that, Gary became the originator of the “Israel did it” hypothesis of the JFK assassination. I have given my views on the matter. Israel was definitely a beneficiary of JFK’s murder and may well have been involved, but if so, I suspect that they were muscle more than masterminds, as plenty of powerful people in the USA wanted JFK dead. It is not that important to me, but I put my money on the Eastern Oligarchy and Military Industrial Complex, I think that the Rockefellers were probably involved, and the CIA led the cover-up.

    There also seems to be an ET connection to the JFK hit, as told by the original Watergate attorney, who heard it from Hunt. If so, I suspect that it was related to JFK’s attempt to end the Cold War, and specifically his planned joint mission to the Moon with the Soviet Union. I can appreciate how surreal all of this can seem, like the wildest of conspiracy theories, but it is what the best evidence that I know of shows.

    For me, the primary lesson of the JFK hit was the permanent demotion of the American presidency. The loud-and-clear message to all succeeding presidents was that they were expendable puppets who could be murdered in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses, and it would all be covered up. That is partly why I say that what I call retail politics is almost all for show. The sitting American president is far down the hierarchy of power on Earth.

    I will periodically write more about the JFK hit, especially as more evidence comes to light.

    Earlier this week, I did my first interview in a dozen years or more, and my first video interview. It did not go quite as I expected, but the interviewers deserve credit, as they are members of the Green Party (one of them ran for president), and I almost never encountered environmentalists (Brian O’Leary’s deep ecologists) who embraced the idea of free energy, as they preferred the austerity route (not unusual), whereas free energy is the abundance route out of our mess. They generally liked the idea of free energy, and we will see how it goes.

    My first post at Substack was made one year ago today. This is post 434, so the posting pace has been a little over one a day. I may not be able to keep up this rate. I am summarizing posts on various themes, in preparation for updating my pinned post, which will be a kind of index of my Substack site.

    I would not have joined Substack unless I could immediately ban trolls. Trolls came swarming wherever I appeared on the Internet in 2006-2007 (and I had my own stalker), after a several year hiatus, and I did not engage the public again until Bill Ryan started a troll-free forum a few years later, to my eternal gratitude. Fortunately, I have only had to ban about one person a month (and catfishers) at Substack. My banning ability is surely what kept my Substack fairly peaceful, as most trolls won’t even try, knowing its futility. I have been surprised by some authors and other famous people (having a Wikipedia bio might be the threshold of that) who follow me or have contacted me. I don’t know if anything will come of that. Readers come and go, and I have a little over 1,000 subscribers and followers today.

    This week, I did my first interview since 2011, and it went well. I plan to do more. But my work is really all about building that choir, and a few candidates have arrived. That interview touched on another path that I have thought could work, and is really what I had hoped to accomplish during my days with Dennis Lee. If his heat pump was revived in the USA with a non-profit effort, and the “profits” went into a fund to develop free-energy technology, that could work, if the people could be found for it. I plan to post soon on what resurrecting that technology could look like.

    All in all, I can’t complain, and I’ll see how Year Two goes.

    From Substack:

    In my recent interview, I was asked about suppressed technologies that could be brought to the public through some kind of political alliance (Green-Party types, in this instance). I replied with the best example that I knew of: Dennis Lee’s heat pump. It is still the world’s best heating system. There is a company in Portugal that makes them, but it is the only company in the world that know of. That heat pump has been completely wiped out in North America. I heard that my public writings have sent some business their way.

    I decided to make a series of posts on reviving Dennis’s heat pump, which begins with this one. I never really got to be part of building and selling them, alas. My goal when I became Dennis’s partner was to build, sell, and install those heat pumps and fund free-energy R&D with the profits. That could still be done, but a lot has changed in the 40 years since Dennis’s Seattle company was wiped out. What happened in Seattle was the greatest attempt ever made to bring alternative energy technology to the American public. This series of posts will be a wide-ranging discussion, and this post will show why it is still the world’s best heating system, which will get into thermodynamics a little, but nothing that is not taught in the first week of a thermodynamics class. Here goes.

    The father of thermodynamics is Sadi Carnot. Carnot’s seminal book was published more than a century after Newcomen built the first commercial steam engine, in an example of how theory could lag practice. For the first time at Substack, I am going to insert some graphics, to make this easier to understand. Carnot theorized that the temperature differential in heat engines would determine their efficiencies. In electric power plants with a 2,000-degree-Fahrenheit boiler temperature and a 55-degree body of water that the turbines exhaust to, using the Carnot equation gets an 80% maximum efficiency. That is the ideal. In practice, such an arrangement gets a 40% thermal efficiency, which means that 40% of the energy in the boiler was translated to power by the turbine. The 60% that was not converted to power warms up the body of water that was exhausted to. Here is a diagram of the Carnot ideal for a heat engine.

    It is pretty straightforward. Such an electric power plant gets 50% of the Carnot ideal (40% divided by 80%). For a long time, there has been talk about using ceramic components that won’t melt, achieving boiler temperatures of 4,000 degrees, and coming closer to that Carnot ideal. That has not happened, to my knowledge, and the best gas turbines today get 46% efficiency (and more than 60% when more than one heat engine is used in series).

    A heat engine moves heat to produce power. A heat pump is the opposite idea, of using power to move heat. The ideal heat-pump efficiency is the reverse of the heat-engine equation, which I present below.

    If you combine that heat-engine equation with that heat-pump equation, using the same temperatures for each, the result is one, as seen below.

    That means that all of the energy turned into work in the heat engine would power a heat pump that would put all of the energy back in the boiler, to do it again. But real-world systems have friction and heat losses, so that result of one is never attained. If we use 50% of the Carnot ideal for both the heat engine and heat pump, then the result is 0.25, which means that only 25% of the energy in the boiler would make it back to the boiler. There is more on that in coming posts.

    For a heat pump, and I’ll present the ideal case of an air-to-air heat pump, when the outside temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit and the house is being heated at 72 degrees, the maximum efficiency is called a coefficient of performance (“COP”) of 16.6. Back in the 1970s, when Dennis’s heat pump was invented, at 40 degrees, the COP was two at maximum, which is 12% (2/16.6) of the Carnot ideal. A refrigerator is a heat pump, and here is a diagram that I made many years ago on how they operate.

    I have discussed these issues with scientists and technicians, and efficiencies can be increased by improving the components, such as the heat exchangers. The greater the surface area of contact between the fluids (air, refrigerant, water) that the heat is being transferred between (what a heat exchanger does), the higher the efficiencies. That is really pretty simple.

    The surface area of contact with the environment that an air-to-air heat pump has is quite small, on the order of several square feet at best. It is a fin-and-tube array, like can be seen in car radiators. Here is a picture of it:

    That fin-and-tube array is called an evaporator, as that is where the refrigerant turns from a liquid to a gas, and absorbs energy as it does. That is why what comes out of aerosol cans is cold. As the liquid turns to a gas, it absorbs heat (called the latent heat of vaporization).

    Instead of a tube-and-fin array, Dennis’s heat pump had evaporators that were aluminum panels that the refrigerant ran through. Here is a picture of several evaporator arrays in applications on homes.

    Those panels were the exotic component of Dennis’s heat pump. Everything else was standard refrigeration technology that could be bought over-the-counter at industrial parts houses. That panel introduced parameters never seen before in heat pumps. For one thing, instead of the several square feet of evaporator contact with the environment that air-to-airs have, Dennis’s heat pump had eight three-foot-by-eight foot panels, which provided nearly 400 square feet of evaporator contact with the air. That meant that far more heat could be taken from the environment than an air-to-air evaporator could. While an air-to-air heat pump had a few pounds of refrigerant running through it, Dennis’s had 60 pounds. Dennis’s heat pump output about 100,000 BTUs per hour, which was twice what comparable air-to-airs produced, but that was not the most important aspect.

    In conditions in which air-to-airs produced a COP of two, Dennis’s heat pump produced a COP of six. Instead of 12% of the Carnot ideal, Dennis’s got 36%, or much closer to the ideal that the best heat engines get. That efficiency was the magic of Dennis’s heat pump.

    I have presented the results of several scientific tests of Dennis’s heat pump (1, 2, 3, 4), and there is an interesting story for each of them. In the first one, it led to the inventors’ admitting that they had cut their performance data in half, so that they would not get laughed out of engineering offices over their system’s “impossible” performance. In the second one, one installation at a restaurant in Saint Paul, Minnesota, got a COP of over 5 in January. Air-to-air heat pumps in the Minnesota winter were worthless. In the third one, it was performed by a lab in Arizona for Dennis’s manufacturer for the Seattle company, before the Rockefellers’ bank wiped it out and Dennis had to build his own factory. The fourth one was performed by an engineer who tried to extort us. That test was presented at Dennis’s preliminary hearing, to show how that engineer was unable to think past his textbooks. His mantra was that heat pumps could only output 12,000 BTUs of power per horsepower of the pump (compressor), which was in his refrigeration textbooks. But his data showed 25,000 BTUs, which he considered “impossible,” even after he produced the data himself that proved the “impossible.” He testified to his 12,000 BTU dogma, and then he was presented his own test that showed 25,000 BTUs. That highlights some of the limitations of engineers. I once talked to an installer about why Dennis’s heat pump work so “impossibly,” and he said that Dennis’s system produced twice the pressures of air-to-air heat pumps, which meant higher temperatures, heat output, and efficiencies.

    The bottom line was that those panels introduced parameters never seen before in the refrigeration industry, and refrigeration technicians had to discard part of their “education” in order to understand Dennis’s heat pump.

    Before writing this post, I looked to see what has changed over the past 40 years in air-to-air heat-pump technology. Some air-to-airs claim COPs of up to nine. But in New Jersey, for instance, when it gets below freezing, air-to-airs can no longer heat a home, so a supplemental heater is needed. That same page mentions some technological improvements, such as variable-speed pumps (AKA compressors) and better refrigerants. If Dennis’s heat pump had not been wiped out, I expect that it would have also benefited from such improvements. I heard of COPs of 12 and 16 with Dennis’s heat pump under ideal conditions, and I am confident that it would still get at least twice the COPs of air-to-airs under the same conditions, because of that panel.

    Here is a picture of what happens to air-to-airs when it gets below freezing.

    Air-to-air heat pumps blow air through the evaporator to increase the heat exchange, but when ice forms on it, the air cannot get through, which makes the COP plummet, and such heat pumps have electric heaters to defrost the evaporator array, which takes more energy and the COP can dip below one, which means that you are better off with baseboard electric heating than a heat pump, when you need heating the most. In one study, Dennis’s heat pump continued to heat a home and pool in Colorado when the panels were covered under two feet of snow. A team of engineers studied that heat pump and scratched their heads on how it could do it. They hypothesized that the panels simply sucked the heat from the snow, which was replenished by the sunshine and warmer ambient air.

    Another aspect of Dennis’s heat pump was that it produced so much heat that it was easier to heat up water than air (water can retain for more heat per unit of volume), so his heat pumps used water instead of air in the heat exchanger (condenser), water tanks of hundreds of gallons were typical with his heat pumps, and swimming pools were often ideal applications. There were costs and benefits of that approach, which I may discuss later.

    That is the basic physics, but there are also numerous technical and other issues to discuss, which is coming.

    From Substack:

    The previous post covered the science of Dennis Lee’s heat pump. It was invented almost by accident by a Colorado cowboy and his engineer friend during the Oil Crisis in 1974. They did not know that they had stumbled onto a thermodynamic advantage with those big panels. They were just trying to make them look like solar systems.

    When I first wrote my energy-racket essay in the early 2000s, I had a section on energy economics. The numbers could be startling. British citizens had 200 times the per-capita income that Ethiopian citizens did, but their per-capita incomes divided by energy consumption were nearly identical. Energy is wealth, as Bucky Fuller noted. Fuller stated that if oil was priced at the benefit that humanity derived from it, it would cost $1 million per barrel, and I have presented calculations that show how that is. Americans are the greatest energy consumers in world history, the USA is history’s richest and most powerful nation, and that is no coincidence. But that explosive growth in energy consumption came to an end during that first oil crisis. American per-capita energy consumption has fallen by 20% since the peak year of 1979 (the first peak was 1973, and it recovered to a new high in 1979, for the second oil crisis). That decline meant a decline in the American standard of living, which I have also illustrated. American conventional oil production peaked in 1970, and we are mining the dregs of our oil deposits. At current trajectories, in this century, nearly all oil on Earth will be gone, mined and burned.

    In 1970, American homes were not insulated, with all of that cheap energy, and home furnaces were as little as 50% efficient. The oil crisis wiped out Dennis’s first business, which was home renovation. Most of my free-energy colleagues got involved in energy because of the energy crisis, which ended history’s most prosperous period.

    In the wake of that first energy crisis, Americans began learning the virtues of energy conservation. Dennis got involved with home insulation. He had already demonstrated his genius as a businessman with his previous business that tried to unite the consumer, Utopian thinker that Dennis was. Dennis did all of that in New Jersey, of all places, where he went to escape the Mob in Alaska. Mobsters constantly tried muscling in on his businesses, and Dennis survived several Mob hit attempts.

    In the insulation business, Dennis tried to industrialize it, replacing a man with a hose, bucket, and foam mix (which had poor quality control, which presented a health hazard), with a “battlewagon” that had computer-mixed foam that could insulate a neighborhood in a day. Dennis applied his industrializing genius to that heat pump that he stumbled into around 1979.

    The milieu that Dennis encountered, with inefficient furnaces, terribly inefficient heat pumps, uninsulated homes, and a huge tax credit that Carter enacted, is a long-gone era. The first thing that Dennis did after stumbling into that heat pump was design his shared-savings program, in which he used the tax credit to put the heat pump on people’s homes for free, and they paid the rest of the balance on their proven savings on their energy bills. It is still the most brilliant and benevolent business strategy that I ever heard of. Dennis always thought big, and immediately began thinking of how he could carpet the USA with his heat pump.

    When I wrote my original essay, electricity was four times as expensive as natural gas (remember those losses in converting fuel to electricity). If we get away from pricing and just consider energy terms, if gas is converted to electricity at 40% efficiency and Dennis’s heat pump got a coefficient of performance (“COP”) of six, then it produced 240 units of heat (40 X 6), when burning the gas for heat would only produce 100. Stated differently, Dennis’s heat pump produced 100 units of heat at only 42% of the energetic cost as burning gas in a furnace would. When gas furnaces were only 50% efficient, then it only took about 20% (40% X 50%) of the energy to produce the same heat in a home as using a gas furnace. When air-to-air heat pumps got COPs of two and Dennis’s got six, then it delivered heat at only one-third of the energy used in an air-to-air, and only 16% (1/6) of using baseboard electric. In that recent interview, I said that Dennis’s heat pump reduced the energetic cost by half or more than half, when the reality was more like 60%-to-85% energetic savings. Air-to-air heat pumps are a big deal today, and I just laugh when I hear about them. Today, conventional heat pumps average between a COP of three-to-four, up from the two of 50 years ago (but I still see COPs of two being touted, and COPs of three are being called hot stuff). My guess is that if Dennis’s heat pump was revived and modernized, its COPs might average seven-to-eight.

    In 2011, gas was used for 70% of residential heating, only 8% was with electricity, and the residential-heating market was $100 billion per year. I doubt that the numbers in this post have changed much since I first wrote them.

    But there is no longer a generous tax credit, people insulate their homes, furnaces are more efficient, and air-to-airs are better. But even today, Dennis’s heat pump would reduce the energetic costs of heating by more than 50% over gas heating and maybe much more, if it was properly resurrected.

    From Substack:

    Dennis Lee was literally in a wheelchair when he was introduced to that heat pump in 1979. He tried to dissuade his first customer from buying that heat pump, because Dennis thought, accurately, that solar systems in those days were scams. But the man was a scientist, it was no typical solar system, and the scientist was excited by it. He was Dennis’s first sale of that heat pump. When Dennis made his second sales call, it was at the home of a refrigeration scientist from DuPont. Dennis had unwittingly started his heat-pump career in the backyard of DuPont, which was the master of refrigeration. Dennis was at that scientist’s home all night, as the scientist looked through the technical literature and gave Dennis a crash course in thermodynamics and refrigeration. That scientist was also puzzled by the documentation, as it only predicted a coefficient of performance (“COP”) of three for that region, when that scientist calculated a COP of six.

    Not long afterward, that test by a Fortune 500 company surfaced, which showed that the heat pump got twice the COPs that the sales literature stated. Dennis confronted the company’s owners with that test, and they admitted that they cut the performance data in half, to maintain “credibility,” because when they said what their heat pump did, they were laughed out of engineering offices, over that “impossible” performance.

    Those laughing engineers were the professional descendants of scientists who declared heavier-than-air flight “impossible” and ignored the Wright brothers for five years after they first flew. Scientists and engineers can be amazingly blind, looking to their textbooks instead of reality. The epitome of that stupidity was when Dennis’s engineer in Seattle testified that heat pumps could only produce 12,000 BTUs per hour per horsepower of compressor (the pump, which was the system’s only moving part), and then was confronted by his own report that showed Dennis’s heat pump getting twice that. Only about 1% of engineers and scientists have much creative talent. The rest are plodders, and history is full of that kind of denial by scientists and engineers to something new and “impossible.” Edison’s lightbulb had a similar reception. That is normal.

    Dennis was in orbit after that night with the DuPont scientist, and he revived his shared-savings program. A few weeks later, at the Hotel DuPont in a ballroom extravaganza, he unveiled his “Systems for Savings” program, in which he put the system on people’s homes for free. The system qualified for Jimmy Carter’s $4,000 tax credit, the customers would pay $4,000, get that back when they filed their income taxes, and the balance was paid from proven energy savings. It was financial engineering at its most brilliant and benevolent. The customers risked nothing, for a system that they were not sure worked. With Dennis’s program, a chimpanzee could sell the systems. Dennis sold 280 systems that night. Dennis eventually calculated that the direct costs of building, selling, and installing that system was $4,000.

    The regional dealer who sponsored Dennis dropped his poker face after that ballroom show. That company had only sold 20 systems on the entire East Coast in the prior three years. Dennis sold 280 in one night in one town. That company had never seen anything like Dennis.

    But as with the foam-insulation industry, Dennis stumbled into a fledgling industry that was stuck at the craftsman stage. Until then, half of that company’s (LamCo) customers installed the systems themselves. That was a prescription for disaster. Air-to-air heat pumps had the virtue of being made as a self-contained appliance at the factory, like a washing machine. In factories, the quality can be controlled much easier. Once it was delivered to the customer, installation was easy. That LamCo heat pump was a science project to install. The main issue was the panels. The LamCo heat pump was delivered as a kit. The basic unit was built at the factory, but then the unit was installed by making an array of those panels.

    The most common place for the panels was on the customer’s roof, like a solar system. The panels had to have the tubing braised together, without any leaks, and then there had to be a hard vacuum drawn on the system for 24 hours to remove all “incompressibles,” such as water and air, which would ruin system performance if not removed, before the system was then filled with refrigerant. A poorly installed system would not work very well.

    When Dennis got involved, he immediately began thinking big, as in carpeting the USA with that heat pump. He immediately understood that the installation had to be professionalized. He could not carpet the USA by having the buyers install it themselves. When Dennis was flying high with that heat pump, he had professional installers. The minimum requirement was being a Class B refrigeration mechanic. Then they had to go to an installer class for a week, where they would unlearn dogmas such as that 12,000 BTUs-per-hour textbook concept. After a week in class, then they could begin to install systems under supervision, and it took a few installations before they got the hang of it.

    Dennis tried to get the air-to-air heat-pump industry involved. He camped at the world’s biggest heat-pump factory. He finally met the plant manager. The plant manager admitted that when properly installed, it outperformed air-to-airs, but that the “idiots” in the field would never install them properly. Then he took Dennis onto the factory floor, and it was sparks flying as far as the eye could see. The plant manager said that they had $2 billion worth of sales that year, and he sardonically asked Dennis how much he sold.

    That plant manager failed to admit that his company was engaged in a conspiracy with the energy industry to vend an inferior energy technology that would save over gas and oil heating, but not by much. That plant manager may not have even understood that, which is also typical. Air-to-airs could also be turned around and be air-conditioners in the summer. That is why air-to-airs are put in the shade, so they could be summer air conditioners. An air-to-air could not perform well as an air conditioner if it was placed in sunlight, but that also partly explained why it was so inferior for heating. The LamCo heat pump only provided heat, and those panels worked best in the sunshine.

    The ideal application for the LamCo heat pump was not homes but commercial hot water applications in which the systems ran 24 hours a day. But with Carter’s tax credit, Dennis could carpet the USA with that heat pump for homes (there were also commercial tax credits, which also benefitted commercial hot water systems).

    Dennis also spent $1 million on R&D, to make the systems better. For instance, it took research to determine the right size for the expansion valve (like the nozzle on an aerosol can).

    By that time, Dennis lived in Southampton on Long Island, hobnobbing with New York’s elite. Dennis began walking up and down Wall Street once again, hunting for somebody who understood the potential. In the meantime, some new dealers smelled like mobsters, and Dennis had already had enough of mobsters, as they nearly killed him several times.
    Dennis finally got somebody on Wall Street who understood: the chairman of the board of American Express. American Express was on the brink of investing $1 billion into a national Systems for Savings program to carpet the USA with Dennis’s heat pump. Just then, LamCo’s attempt to do an initial public offering of its stock fell through, the other LamCo owners stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from Dennis (who was a one-third owner of LamCo at the time), those new mobster dealers stole the rest, and Dennis was back to being penniless on the streets, but with three children then. That original regional dealer who was at the ballroom show was part of the mobster takeover. He soon disappeared, and Dennis thought that he likely got cement shoes from his new gangster buddies, who soon pulled off a real scam with Dennis’s company, selling more than $1 million in dealerships before folding the scam.

    There were many technical and business issues to overcome. One of which was the economies of scale needed. That panel could only be made with industrial presses, and companies with such presses only made them in lots of 1,000. When Dennis got involved, the systems had ten panels (which Dennis reduced to eight), so somebody had to buy panels for 100 systems. It was 100 systems or none. But nobody could sell them like Dennis. More than 100 companies came and went around the LamCo heat pump, and only Dennis succeeded, but too well, as will become evident.

    When Dennis had his companies repeatedly stolen, the first thing that the thieves did was discard Dennis’s “crazy “marketing plans, when they were what made it all work. Those greed-blinded thieves killed the golden goose. It was like those scientists and engineers who could not think past their textbooks. Almost nobody understood the genius of what Dennis was doing. I had been a student of genius since my first mentor, so it was easy for me to see the genius of what Dennis was doing. To this day, few people have ever understood these issues or been willing to try, and that is part of the problem.

    Bringing any new technology to market is incredibly difficult. Many superior technologies have failed to make it to market, and usually not from organized suppression, but the inventors and their allies were unable to overcome the many real issues of bringing new technologies to market. It is like threading a needle in the best of times, and the fields of capitalism are littered with failed attempts to bring new technologies to market, and attempts by business associates to steal them are rife. Sears was notorious for stealing inventions. Sears would invite the inventor in to demonstrate his invention, Sears would decline involvement, but then Sears would make its own stolen version of it. It is a formula that Trader Joe’s uses today. It was standard practice by General Motors, and it is a typical capitalist ploy.

    I witnessed many attempts to steal our companies by our business associates when I was with Dennis. Organized suppression is “just” another challenge for that task. After that final theft of his company on the East Coast, Dennis went home to Yakima, Washington, where he was born, to visit his family and introduce them to his newborn son, for Christmas, 1983. The next chapter then unfolded.

    Default Re: WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

    From Substack:

    This evening, while working on my posts on reviving Dennis Lee’s heat pump, I checked up on the corporate hit man who was sicced on Dennis’s company in Seattle, and I discovered that he recently died. His name was Bill Delp, and here is his obituary. Until now, I have referred to him as Bill the BPA Hit Man.

    I have tracked the lives of quite a few like Bill, and I generally wait until they die before revealing their identities. I have been following Bill’s life since the 1990s, waiting until I outlived him, so that I could reveal his identity. Unmasking psychopaths is dangerous business. When the lead hit man in Ventura, Ken Hodgell, went to prison for his criminal activities, I felt that he had been defanged enough so that I could safely reveal his identity. When Betsy, the hit woman from the Attorney General’s office, who worked with Bill to put Dennis’s Seattle company out of business, was disbarred for looting her client’s account, I named her. She was likely more sociopath than psychopath.

    Bill’s obituary site has glowing eulogies from those who knew him, or thought that they knew him. Those eulogies provide some of the background that I will now build on, to show how people like Bill operate. The ranks of free-energy organizations all will have people like Bill in them, if they ever show any promise.

    Lee Harvey Oswald was a military-intelligence operative. His teenage “fascination” with communism, which continued into his Marine Corps days and “defection” to the Soviet Union, was part his career path of establishing fake communist credentials so that he could infiltrate communist organizations. Like Oswald, Bill developed fake alternative-energy credentials so that he could infiltrate companies such as Dennis’s.

    I doubt that Bill was groomed from his teenager years like Oswald was, but somewhere along the line his dark talents were recognized and put to use, most spectacularly when he was sicced on Dennis’s company in Seattle.

    Here is an interview in Mother Earth News from 1976, as Bill developed his alternative-energy credentials. What I found “interesting” is that people such as Bill can be seen using the same bag of tricks over and over, as their signature moves. In that interview, Bill comes off as quite the energy revolutionary, calling out and fighting the vested interests, and he became known for his legal actions. Had Bill already gone to the dark side by the time of that interview? I consider it likely, but only Bill knew for sure.

    In those eulogies, you can see that Bill worked for a hydroelectric company in Spokane in the late 1960s. Was he recruited then? Whatever the case was, Dennis said that he could prove that Bill drew a paycheck from the Bonneville Power Administration (“BPA”) during his entire involvement with Dennis’s company. As Ken was, Bill was very talented at duping people, with the superficial charm of psychopaths. Ken looked and acted like Mr. Rogers, until it came time to play hit man. Mr. Deputy was similarly talented. Until my day on the witness stand, Mr. Deputy looked and acted like a Boy Scout. When he unmasked himself to me on my day on the witness stand, it was the pivotal day of my life. Watching a psychopath drop his mask and sink in his dagger was highly educational.

    I don’t know what Dennis would say about it today, but when Bill approached Dennis in the summer of 1985, he didn’t fool Dennis for a second. Dennis knew that Bill was not whom he presented himself as, but Dennis hired him anyway, to keep his enemy close. Both Bill and Ken were part of what I have come to call inside-outside operations. When the media and corrupt officials attack, people such as Bill and Ken help take down the company from the inside. Bill’s actions led to the death of one of Dennis’s employees, which radicalized Dennis in his energy pursuits. Bill attended that woman’s funeral and spread the rumor that Dennis was responsible for her death. It was not until that woman’s family came to Dennis and told him what had happened that he realized what Bill had done.

    When he could no longer break into Dennis’s factory and offices, Bill then waged a phony bankruptcy suit, which the courts fraudulently accepted, which slowly strangled Dennis’s company. Bill duped many people besides that dead woman, and when Dennis’s company was wrecked and stolen, Bill left his dupes in the bankruptcy suit holding the bag. My close relative, who was a contract CIA agent, worked for Henry Kissinger and got his hands bloody like Bill did. My relative drank himself to death, which is a common fate for such people, if they are not psychopaths, but Bill probably slept like a baby.

    Mr. Deputy’s annual pension today is over $300,000 per year, as his reward for an evil job well done, but contract agents are rarely so fortunate. Between assignments, they have to scramble, free-lancing their talents. My relative could not hold down a normal job, as he was constantly being called on to play the spook game. Ken played one scam too many and spent many years in prison. Bill probably got a pretty nice bonus for his performance with Dennis’s company. When Dennis’s company was wiped out and stolen, Bill soon left the Seattle area.

    Three years later, after I busted Dennis out of jail, Dennis got permission from the judge to speak at a new-science conference in Colorado. Bill arrived at the conference, and he just made it up as he went along. At that conference, he cornered anybody who expressed interest in Dennis and lied to them. At that conference, Bill portrayed himself as a “noted Tesla researcher” and an investor that Dennis defrauded. Bill could lie like that without batting an eye, and Dennis only heard years later what Bill had done at the conference. Bill easily duped the conference organizer. Dennis expressed his amazement to me at how easily Bill duped people.

    To his credit, soon before he died, Mr. Engineer told Mr. Researcher that they were a couple of “saps,” to be duped by Ken like that. Ken helped ruin my life, as he duped people around me, who scoffed at my warnings.

    Two years after Bill’s conference performance, I worked at the national conference of the organization that spawned the organization that sponsored the conference that Dennis spoke at, and in a minute I was able to look up Bill’s name as a member. I have no doubt that there are many like Bill in the ranks of such organizations.

    In the 1990s, Bill moved to Florida, where he spent the rest of his life, playing in the sunshine. He owned a business and was known for using the legal system as a weapon against his customers.

    Bill, Ken, Mr. Deputy, and Betsy are the kinds of people sicced on efforts such as ours, keeping the world in thrall to the global elite. None of them cared if they served evil interests, as long as they were paid well (or they were happy to serve evil interests), although Betsy’s conscience eventually got to her, at least a little. This is more on how our world really works.

    From Substack:

    When electricity was one cent per kilowatt-hour, which was the cheapest electricity on Earth, due to Washington’s many hydroelectric projects, Dennis had no market for energy-saving equipment in his home state.

    But when he went home to Yakima, Washington, in December, 1983, after his last East Coast company was stolen by his business associates and mobsters, he was greeted with full-page ads by the electric companies to promote energy conservation. I have covered these days at length many times, most recently here. Because of the biggest municipal bond default in American history to that time, because of an ill-advised plan to build five nuclear power plants, only one of which was completed, suddenly, electric bills in Washington began skyrocketing and, hence, those full-page ads.

    Electricity-intensive industries such as aluminum refining (which I encountered elsewhere in my studies, along with related corruption) were in Washington, to take advantage of that cheap electricity. Dennis’s infant son died of crib death during that visit, Dennis had nothing to go back to on the East Coast, and those full-page ads presented an opportunity. The electric companies were promoting air-to-air heat pumps to their customers, especially their all-electric customers, as an air-to-air at a coefficient of performance (“COP”) of two would save 50% of heating costs over electric resistance.

    If the electric companies were promoting electricity conservation and air-to-heat pumps that saved 50% of an all-electric customer’s heating cost, Dennis figured that the electric companies would have been ecstatic with Dennis’s heat pump, which would save over 80% at a COP of six. Dennis expected a tickertape parade. Dennis reckoned incorrectly. The next year, Mark Comings invented a free-energy prototype in the basement of a nuclear facility, and he had hell to pay. The year after that, Sparky Sweet mailed out working prototypes of his free-energy prototype to the leading energy institutions, also expecting a tickertape parade, but that was when his harassment began. In 1985, the same year that Sparky mailed out those prototypes, the greatest effort ever made to bring alternative energy technology to the marketplace happened, which is what Dennis did in Seattle, but I get a little ahead of myself.

    Eastern Washington has a largely agrarian economy based on farms and ranches, in a desert-like environment that is irrigated by rivers, especially the Columbia River. Today, several billion dollars of farm and ranch products are sold each year from there.

    Processing the apple crop uses large amounts of hot water, and the apple processors burned natural gas for making that hot water. Dennis began experimenting with his heat pump there, and in the summer he measured a COP of 12. An electric-company engineer even came out and advised Dennis, because if his heat pump displaced gas heating, it would increase electricity use. That engineer, however, got a deer-in-the-headlight expression when Dennis mentioned going after all-electric homes in Washington, but Dennis still did not figure it out.

    Dennis left Yakima a farm boy, but came back from the Big Time in Manhattan, and a local oligarch wanted to work with Dennis. In fact, the oligarch said that unless Dennis worked with Yakima’s oligarchy, he would not get anywhere, as they controlled the local economy. Dennis eventually realized that there were oligarchies everywhere, at the city, county, state, national, and global levels. They all play the same basic game, but the global level is where Earth’s apex predators reside.

    That local oligarch, however, didn’t really understand much about what Dennis was doing, and Dennis wasted nearly a year in Yakima with that oligarch. In the meantime, Carter’s credit would expire at the end of 1985. Dennis had spent five years of that tax credit getting his companies stolen, etc. In October of 1984, that oligarch was telling people that he didn’t need Dennis anymore. Dennis had enough, took his wife and daughters over the mountains into Seattle in a beat-up station wagon, with $20 in his pocket and no place to sleep.

    In one of many instances of bizarre and even divine synchronicity in this tale, when Dennis was on the brink of the billion-dollar deal with American Express, one participant in the theft of LamCo was from the Seattle area. American Express wanted patent protection for the deal, LamCo had a patent, but its only enforceable aspect was the proximity of the expansion valve to the panel. It was really pretty worthless, but corporations like patents. In the theft of LamCo, the patent ended up with a bank in Seattle, which had built a facility for making the LamCo heat pump. But they were complete beginners, their head engineer was a kid who didn’t really understand the technology, and he was primitively building them according to the original patent. He was the one who could not get his textbooks out of his head and learn. That bank, like the 100 companies that had already come and gone in the field, was on the fast track to going out of business when Dennis arrived. Dennis announced that their savior had arrived, but they had no idea who Dennis was and treated him like a nuisance.

    Dennis did the usual and led with sales. He began selling with his Systems for Savings plan, and he planned to get a bank’s attention by stacking contracts to the ceiling. What I have not really discussed much before was that Dennis’s heat pump, and the way that he sold them, was a bank’s dream. For the deals Dennis had in mind, the bank had the collateral of a $10,000 immobile piece of equipment on the customer’s home, and they could put a lien on the house if they needed to. It was far more secure than lending for a car, for instance. The tax credit also paid $4,000 of the purchase price, so the customer only owed $6,000, and $4,000 funded the direct costs of building, selling, and installing the heat pump. It was a financier’s dream. The heat pump didn’t even need to work very well in order to be a big winner, especially when it was replacing electric-resistance heating.

    Dennis stacked up the contracts and was about to rescue that bank that got involved with the LamCo heat pump. The bank’s representative was highly impressed, but the bank refused to get involved with Dennis, which stunned Dennis. Then the representative made a memorable reply to Dennis’s disbelief that they would turn down the deal that would rescue them. He told Dennis that somebody in Seattle had warned all of the banks from getting involved with Dennis. It was Dennis’s first hint of what was about to happen. The Bonneville Power Administration (“BPA”), the federal agency that ran the hydroelectric dams, was the ringleader of Washington State’s electric companies. That agency was behind what was about to happen to Dennis’s Seattle effort.

    Dennis kept stacking up contracts and had sold 1,000 of them, looking for a financier outside the Seattle area, and in the spring of 1985, he found it in Spokane. The owner of the finance company was like the chairman of the board of American Express, as he understood the genius of what Dennis was doing. After doing his diligence, he not only knew that it was the world’s best heating system, but he wanted a piece of the action. He put Dennis in contact with one of his employees who knew a man who owned a shell company. Shell companies were a legal way to take a private business public quickly.

    Dennis then met with the shell company’s owner, and they had a brief meeting to sell the company to Dennis. The financier got 10% of Dennis’s new publicly traded company, some of Dennis’s early investors and the shell’s old owners got the other 10%, and Dennis retained the remaining 80%. Within weeks, Dennis’s ownership stake was worth $50 million, according to the skyrocketing stock price. From penniless to worth $50 million several months later, that was the kind of world that Dennis lived in. The financier made a $10 loan commitment, a factory in California was going to build Dennis’s systems as fast as he could sell them, and Dennis’s dream of building an industry around that heat pump looked like it might finally happen.

    Just as the financier and factory came aboard, a series of events happened that showed who really ran the show. An electric company near Seattle held a press conference that called Dennis’s company a scam, that the heat pump did not work, and it was calling for an Attorney General’s investigation of the company. Two years later, one of our customers in Boston, a banking executive, called the BPA to ask about Dennis. He received a return call from the BPA’s conservation department, and the official admitted that all that the BPA’s conservation department thought about for months was Dennis. The BPA did not just quake in fear. It soon hired a corporate hit man to infiltrate Dennis’s company and help wipe it out. His efforts led to death of one of Dennis’s employees, which radicalized Dennis. This is the point in writing this post when I discovered that the hit man had died, and I was finally free to publicly name him, nearly 40 years later. His name was Bill Delp, and I think that Dennis hired Bill in July, 1985, 40 years ago this month.

    All aspects of Washington’s power structure got involved, and the national and global elite also appear to have gotten involved. The Rockefellers’ bank, Chase Manhattan Bank, wiped out Dennis’s factory in California at the same time. These events happened the year before the voice in my head told me to move to Seattle, so I did not witness them, but I spoke to many of the participants and followed their lives and careers, including the hit men and women who were sicced on Dennis’s company. That process helped me understand how power structures work.

    The financier came aboard, the Rockefellers wiped out Dennis’s manufacturer, an electric company called Dennis’s company a scam and called for an Attorney General’s investigation, and Bill approached Dennis, all within a few weeks. That was no series of coincidences. The electric interests decided to call in all of their favors to wipe out Dennis’s company.

    Nobody in Washington State knew Dennis’s heat pump better than he did, from his nearly six years of involvement with it by that time, as he tried to build an industry around that heat pump. From the very beginning of his involvement, Dennis knew that buyer-installed systems were not the way to go, he tried to professionalize the fledgling industry, and he regularly thought of ways to make installation easier. One day in Seattle, Dennis hit on an idea that he called a “heat injector.” A picture of it is here. Dennis’s idea was an upright panel array that resembled a revolving door, and it was fabricated and charged with refrigerant at the factory. The entire system was ready-to-work when it left the factory, and installation would have been about as easy as installing an air-to-air.

    As I have thought about Dennis’s heat-injector idea over the years, I have weighed the pros and cons of it. Eliminating most installation issues was its main advantage, which was huge. But not all panels would directly face the Sun, taking advantage of sunlight. As is obvious from this test in the Minnesota winter, the coefficient of performance (“COP”) reached as high as an eight in the daytime and as low as four at night. Sunshine, higher ambient daytime temperatures, and higher wind velocities improved heat-injector performance. The wind would improve the heat-injector array’s performance, whichever direction the wind came from, and it would get better heat exchange with the air than most other arrays, especially flat on a roof. It is an interesting research question on how much system performance would change with the heat-injector array compared to the others. Dennis never got to find out, as his company was soon wiped out. My guess is that the overall difference would be relatively modest. The most important aspect, of nearly 400 square feet of evaporator contact with the air, would not change.

    Another technical issue was that industrial refrigeration was virtually always about removing heat, not capturing it. So components were designed around that concept. In refrigeration applications, gas-to-water heat exchangers had the walls containing the hot refrigerant part of it exposed to the air, to also help vent the heat. For Dennis’s application of gathering heat, it would have been better if the cooler water was the part exposed to the air, to reduce the heat loss. The industry never designed them that way, so Dennis’s systems had insulation around that heat exchangers to reduce heat losses. It was a clumsy fix, and if Dennis would have ever built that industry, the heat exchangers would have been designed to swap the hot and cool parts, and insulation would not have been an issue. That was just one of many technical issues that Dennis’s heat pump presented. None were that difficult to resolve, and would have been easily fixed if manufacturers began building components with Dennis’s heat pump in mind.

    Water tanks were a good heat “battery” for residential systems. If Dennis ever built an industry, my guess is that systems and water tanks would be sized so that the systems worked 24 hours a day in the winter months, as continuous running was ideal. Smaller systems that stored heat in water tanks could still meet a home’s heat needs, including high-demand days and evenings, and could “recharge” the heat in the water tank at night and daytime.

    The panels of that Portuguese company definitely held less refrigerant than Dennis’s panels did. Dennis’s standard system had eight panels, a four-horsepower pump, 60 pounds of refrigerant, and it produced 100,000 BTUs per hour. I don’t know what the specs of the Portuguese system are, but my guess is that it only holds 30 pounds and delivers half of the heat, which may well be appropriate for the Portuguese climate. Technology has changed in 40 years, as I have written. Homes are insulated today, we have Global Warming, energy prices have fluctuated, there is no more tax credit, and other variables. That panel means that that style of heat pump will always be the world’s best for producing heat. If that heat pump was revived, other than one company on Earth making them, I would expect that all of those questions would be asked and resolved.

    Those six years between when Dennis stumbled into that heat pump and his Seattle effort was wiped out comprised a unique historical moment that won’t be seen again. If we don’t get free-energy technology for now, every place on Earth that produces heat to make hot water and human-friendly environs should use the LamCo-style heat pump. The global market is at least hundreds of billions of dollars and maybe more. I don’t see the technical issues as being very significant.

    Surviving the organized suppression was the hard part, and I’ll deal with that more in the next post.

    Best,

    Wade
