WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

From Substack:

It was not until I visited Consortium News’s site a few minutes before I began writing this post that I realized that yesterday was the 80^th anniversary of dropping a nuclear weapon on Hiroshima. Consortium was Ed Herman’s go-to news site in his last years. Consortium published several Hiroshima articles (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) this week.

This is a day late for a timely retrospective (or two days early for a Nagasaki anniversary), but the atomic bombing of Japan has been one of my topics for a generation. The subject was a prominent part of my original war essay, in which I sought to deflate American delusions around World War II, that best of all American wars. I updated that essay in 2014, and don’t know when I will again, or if I will.

World War II will be a topic of study for the rest of my life, from its imperial roots to the Holocaust to the epic battles to all of those Nazis that the USA eagerly protected and hired after the war. Since I got my Kindle five years ago, I have read several books about World War II each year.

As one of Consortium’s articles noted, Harry Truman knew that he was toying with the end of life on Earth, all to subdue a foe that was already trying to surrender. A generation later, my mentor invented a bomb that destroyed weaponry but did not harm people. The Pentagon quickly suppressed it, and a few years later, stories began circulating about neutron bombs, which was my mentor’s idea inverted, as it would spare industrial infrastructure but kill all the people.

In recent years, the USA has been goading Russia toward nuclear war. Soon after nuking Japan, the American public’s euphoria wore off and by 1946, nearly half of Americans supported the idea of a supranational body that was empowered to prevent a nuclear holocaust. I found it very interesting that immediately after the bombs were dropped, people around the world began discussing the possibilities of nuclear power. That became a global conversation that lasted for several years, before the dangers were fully appreciated. It was a better conversation than I see today around free-energy technology, which predates nuclear weapons but is kept from public awareness and use by history’s greatest cover-up.

Earlier this week, Sam Husseini drew the parallels between Hiroshima and Gaza. Today, the Independent compared Hiroshima and Gaza pictures. A slow-rolling genocide has been inflicted by Israelis in Palestine almost since the Hiroshima bombing, which is cresting today in Gaza, and virtually the entire West is supporting it (although there is a belated recognition among pundits).

Has humanity learned anything since 1945 on these issues? There is only one way out of this existential mess that I know of. Time is short.

Best,

The journey of our universe, journey of life and on Earth, and the human journey have always primarily been energy dynamics. Long ago, I developed what I call an Epochal framework (1, 2, 3) for understanding the human journey. I have divided the human journey into four Epochs so far, and we are the brink of the Fifth, if we survive long enough (1, 2).

My Epochs are:

• Becoming human (1, 2);
• Conquering Earth (1, 2);
• Domestication (1, 2), including civilization (1, 2) and the second conquest of Earth (1, 2);
• Industrialization (1, 2), including the rise of oil and electricity, and I have also parsed out the 20^th (1, 2) and 21^st centuries (1, 2) in recent discussions.

It is pretty simple, and each Epoch was founded on its energy practices (1). The people of each Epoch captured far more energy than in the previous one, even by orders of magnitude. Humans have always been energy-windfall opportunists. Without the energy breakthroughs, the next Epochs would not have happened. We have many examples of societies and cultures that did not make the transition to the next Epoch, such as Australia before the British invasion, and most of humanity today does not really live in the industrial epoch, even though they often have cell phones.

Organisms, ecosystems, societies, and civilizations all have the same basic energy dynamics, in that energy allows for their complexity, and running out of energy means their collapse (1, 2). The health of all of them is best measured in their surplus energy. I have summarized what I see as the most important features and trends of the human journey. The world’s nations, empires, wars, and rackets are all rooted in the energy issue. The same dynamics that help people understand the journey of life on Earth, such as feedback effects and push-pull dynamics, also help illuminate the human journey. As humanity’s surplus energy has increased over the Epochs, it greatly shaped human societies, which have increasingly become more humane. It all hinges on the issues of scarcity and abundance. Humanity had a grim, Hobbesian past, no matter how much anthropologists have denied it.

Today, industrial societies are burning through their primary energy sources a million times as fast as they were made, and oil and gas will be almost entirely depleted in this century at current trajectories. Even in our Epoch of relative abundance, which has had profound effects on industrialized societies, what I call the song of scarcity is still the universal tune that humanity sings. Many “solutions” that I see being proposed are nothing more than reshuffling the deck of scarcity, which do not address our existential risks at all.

Over many years of study in my radicalized state, I eventually realized that all dominant ideologies are rooted in scarcity. Since scarcity is all that humanity has known, that is understandable. But true abundance would make them all crumble into meaninglessness.

In scarcity-based economic systems (which they all are), the exchange aspect takes on exaggerated importance, which becomes meaningless in a world of abundance. Today’s orthodox economic theory largely ignores the real world, focused on exchange and social behavior, as financial economies are exalted over real economies. All industries and professions are rackets, and they all have their cheerleaders and attack dogs (1, 2), as professionals and intellectuals lick the hand that feeds them. The sociology of all of them is similar.

All sociologies are founded on self-serving lies, to exalt the in-group at the expense of the out-group. I know the West the best, as I live there, and I have chronicled the daily lies of Western thought. Mass-murdering thieves were presented to me as I grew up, and they were portrayed as heroes, saints, and fathers of my nation, which is history’s richest and most powerful. The West especially lies about its treatment of non-industrial peoples, whom the West has ridden roughshod over for centuries, and I presented Africa (1) as a recent example. Ed Herman’s life’s work was largely about exposing those lies.

My work on the human journey has not only been on how we got to where we are today, but where we can go, if enough of us can muster the requisite integrity and sentience and combine our efforts.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

Yesterday, I stumbled upon this video, daisy-chained to this article, and then watched this movie on Gerard O’Neill’s life and his dream of space colonies. I knew that there would be no mention of Brian O’Leary, cast from the citadel as he was, but I wanted to make sure. As I watched the movie, I thought about whether Brian’s omission from the movie was awkward or not, and it kind of was, as it paraded people such as Isaac Asimov, Freeman Dyson, Ray Bradbury, Johnny Carson, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk on the screen. Brian was a big reason why O’Neill’s idea of space colonies got traction.

The only mainstream author, or really, any author besides me, who has written about Brian since his death has been Emily Carney (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), and you can see that she joins Brian and Gerard at the hip. This book also gives Brian a place of prominence. Even Wikipedia portrays Brian as a key influence in Gerard’s work on space colonies (1, 2). But I am the only author who fairly deals with Brian’s efforts on the frontiers of science, and that is too bad, just like I am Ed Herman’s only biographer so far. If we survive as a species, history will treat the memories of both men far kindlier than it has so far.

When I wrote Brian’s astronaut biography for NASA and went through the editorial paces that Chris Ferguson put me through, I made sure that I retained mention of Brian’s efforts with Gerard and Carl Sagan, as they were Brian’s two most significant academic colleagues (other than his mentor Donald Rea).

That said, plenty was interesting in that movie about Gerard. One was that Gerard kissed a Nobel Prize goodbye when he began writing popularized science. Peter Ward also noted that writing popularized science did nothing for his career. The citadel’s masters do not like it when scientists descend from their ivory towers and engage the unwashed masses.

But for all of Gerard’s engagement of the “fringes” with his space-colony advocacy, he was still firmly ensconced in the academic world. Brian’s Princeton memory that I found the most revealing was that every two weeks, the physics department would have a luncheon, sip their sherry, and the leading topic of conversation was ridiculing accounts of the paranormal. That might seem like a bizarre preoccupation, until one realized that those were the high priests of materialism who were defending their religion. Brian smugly sipped sherry with those Nobel-Prize-winning ridiculers, nodding his head, until he had a remote viewing in a human-potential class, which ruined him as a mainstream scientist. I had the same experience while performing the same exercise five years earlier, which ruined my scientific career before it even began. We could no longer drink the Kool-Aid.

By 2001, when I told Brian about my friend’s underground technology show, put on by a faction of the global elite, which included free energy and antigravity technology, Brian was not even surprised, replying with, “He got a show from the spooks.” The two limitations that Gerard’s space-colony efforts were all about overcoming were energy and gravity. What my friend saw blows those concerns out of the water, making Gerard’s space-colony ideas quaint. That video that began this post, on how it is almost impossible to live in space, also becomes meaningless in light of antigravity and free-energy technologies. If they have antigravity, it is not much of a stretch to realize that artificial gravity is likely. If they also have artificial gravity, then all objections and limitations to spacefaring and space colonies are easily overcome. That is why I state that spacefaring will be part of what I call the Fifth Epoch. I don’t consider that an imaginative outcome, but an obvious one. For instance, Earth will never be mined again. In that movie, Gerard essentially advocates a poor-man’s Fifth Epoch, but in my Fifth Epoch, nobody will be poor.

I see Gerard as pioneering the idea of space colonies, and he will be seen as something like early theorists who initiated fields of science that eventually left the initial ideas far behind, while recognizing that they were the fathers of the disciplines. There are worse fates for scientists.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

Helping humanity attain what I call the Fifth Epoch has been my goal for nearly 40 years. My Fifth Epoch posts are my favorites to write. The Fifth Epoch will be a world of abundance. As I have often stated, I do not consider my posts on the Fifth Epoch to be very imaginative. They are obvious outcomes if free-energy, antigravity, and other technologies that are older than I am became publicly available. Developing a comprehensive perspective makes those obvious outcomes easier to understand, which is mainly why my immediate goal is to help the people I seek develop comprehensive perspectives. Then they can focus on the goal and combine their efforts, which may be the only approach that will work, to overcome the organized suppression and humanity’s inertia. Just imagining free energy and the Fifth Epoch is beyond the ability of most people, and I long ago chronicled the levels of awareness.

The Fifth Epoch means the end of:

The world as we know it;

Cities;

Money and exchange professions;

Poverty, violence, crime, and war;

Nations, politicians, and races;

Elites;

All rackets (and how);

Drudgery;

Disease;

Fear;

Careers;

Mining Earth and environmental devastation;

Dogmatic ideologies;

Corporations, capitalism, corruption;

Psychopaths;

Territorial disputes and land grabs;

That is a short list of what ends in the Fifth Epoch.

The Fifth Epoch will be a Utopia based on abundance. As Bucky Fuller stated, all previous Utopias were based on shared austerity, and that will never work. What begins in the Fifth Epoch? Here are some obvious changes:

The complete recovery of Earth’s ecosystems, as humanity no longer dominates nature;

Spacefaring (as I noted yesterday);

Universal peace;

Universal and unprecedented health;

Cooperation in all things;

The rise of truth;

The rise of love;

Radical changes in family structures;

Extraterrestrial and interdimensional contact;

The universal pursuit of the human potential;

The arrival of a new kind of human;

All of humanity’s problems are easily solved;

That is a quick sketch that barely scratches the surface.

I did an experimental audio post on this.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

Yesterday’s post on what I call the Fifth Epoch inspired this post. This post is a result of my experiences and studies, and it chronicles the biggest events in the human journey that I know of, and those that loom. So, without further preamble...

What: Projectile weapons
Who: Chimpanzees, but likely attained greater relevance for Homo erectus
Where: Central and East Africa
When: It began several million years ago
Why: Increasing throwing prowess and new tools
Importance: Allowed for injury and killing at a safe distance, on prey animals and rivals
Discussion: As Frans de Waal discovered, chimps love throwing rocks at unsuspecting zoo visitors, and they are very good at it. I threw the javelin in college, and I can attest to the human talent with projectile weapons. It did not begin with bows and arrows; they were just part of a long line of projectile weapons, likely beginning with rocks. Anthropologists have noted that the Acheulean hand ax has interesting aerodynamic properties, and could have also been a devastating projectile weapon, used on prey or in warfare, which goes back at least to chimps. It could have been a key tool in the rise of Homo erectus to apex-predator status.

What: Apes become bipedal
Who: Several ape lines independently evolved bipedal posture
Where: Eastern and southern Africa
When: At least four million years ago and maybe six million years ago
Why: Shrinking tropical canopies and rainforests likely forced the exodus, and later provided opportunities
Importance: A first for mammals that freed hands for new uses, new food sources, and may have led to pair-bonding
Discussion: Monkeys descended from the tropical canopy and became apes more than 20 million years ago, and apes became bipedal maybe six million years ago. I think that both events were due to the cooling and drying of Earth to today’s ice age, as tropical canopies and rainforests shrank. The initial events were likely driven by survival, and only later did they become opportunities to expand the range of those migrants. Ape bipedalism seems to have independently developed several times, and ape bipedalism was a first for mammals. It freed hands to become more dexterous and led to new kinds of tools. Bipedalism also seems to have led to pair-bonding, which was new to African apes. The male fight over mating privileges was reduced and likely led to new social organization and activities.

What: Development of stone tools
Who: Australopiths
Where: East Africa
When: At least 3.3 million years ago
Why: Those freed and increasingly dexterous hands of bipedal apes were put to new uses
Importance: A first for life on Earth, which allowed for enhanced food availability and may have initiated a trajectory of increasingly sophisticated tools and runaway brain growth in what became human line, and led to the beginning of the extinction of Earth’s megafauna
Discussion: The earliest crafted stone tools yet discovered are 3.3 million years old, in the cradle of humanity in East Africa. That innovation likely led to early events in the extinction of the world’s megafauna, perhaps beginning with giant tortoises. Rock-wielding apes became an irresistible force. Those first crafted stone tools yet discovered were made by australopiths, and it is likely no coincidence that the runaway growth of bipedal-ape brains began around the same time. In little over a million years, the human-line’s brain doubled in size, which is probably unprecedented in the journey of life on Earth. I think that there was a cycle of evolutionary positive feedbacks between energy, intelligence, and tools (the key factors of the human journey), which led to humanity.

What: Development of language
Who: Maybe Homo erectus
Where: Likely Africa
When: Maybe two million years ago
Why: Increasing brain growth and increasingly sophisticated social organization and tools
Importance: Increased social learning and collective intelligence, which led to more sophisticated cultures
Discussion: Many areas of great-ape studies have deflated human conceits on how unique and superior we are. When Jane Goodall discovered that chimps used and even made tools, the idea that humans are Earth’s only tool-using species died. Until recently, another human conceit has been that humans invented language. But now we know that chimps have a “language” of hundreds of words, and they innovatively use them in ways that were long thought to be the exclusive province of humans. Today’s scientists are continually startled at the high levels of intelligence that animals have displayed, and human intelligence is now thought to only be different in degree from other animals, which is consistent with Darwin’s ideas, even though Darwin thought that the invention of language was one of humanity’s two greatest feats, and the other comes next on this list.

What: Control of fire
Who: Likely Homo erectus
Where: Likely Africa
When: Likely at least 1.5 million years ago
Why: Increasingly sophisticated toolmaking and culture led to this event
Importance: A new energy source that humanity relies on to this day, which led to radical changes in human societies, foods, and tools
Discussion: Like so many events in the journey of life on Earth and the human journey, scientific findings keep pushing back the dates of evolutionary and human cultural events. It used to be thought that the invention of fire was also the exclusive province of Homo sapiens, invented relatively recently, but the early control of fire has been gaining traction in the past generation, and there is evidence that fire was controlled even two million years ago, but the hard physical evidence so far is “only” about 1.5 million years old, which means that Homo erectus is the likely inventor. It may have taken a long time to spread, but I have a hard time believing that any culture that learned how to control fire would ever give it up, as it was such a game-changer, unprecedented in the history of life on Earth, which provided great benefits. Even our “advanced” industrial societies are based on the control of fire, as we quickly burn up all of Earth’s hydrocarbon deposits to power our societies.

What: First conquest of Earth
Who: Behaviorally modern humans
Where: Originated in Africa
When: Began 50,000-to-70,000 years ago
Why: Behavioral modernity and related toolset
Importance: Allowed humans to populate all inhabitable continents, extinction of Earth’s megafauna and all other human species, and increase in human population by a factor of a thousand
Discussion: Genetic studies have confirmed that despite all of the migrations from Africa to Eurasia by the human line for perhaps two million years, the exodus of a fairly small contingent of behaviorally modern humans, which were relatively new on the evolutionary scene and comprised perhaps only several thousand members, left Africa, probably between 70,000 and 50,000 years ago, and conquered Earth. Most of the world’s land-based megafauna went extinct in the process (especially the elephant family), as well as all other human species. It was likely not a gentle process, although cottage industries have appeared to strenuously deny that humans could have done that. A related school of thought has argued that humans were largely peaceful until the rise of agriculture and civilization. In my lifetime, all of those humanity-defending ideas have been slowly dying in light of the evidence. I regard the Rousseauian “peaceful savage” idea, as well as the idea that climate change (or bolide events) wiped out Earth’s megafauna, to be wishful thinking. I consider it scandalous that those ideas have persisted as long as they have. I see them as just more human conceits.

The human conquest of Earth was a bloody affair, and the world’s easy meat and other human species paid the ultimate price for the global spread of Homo sapiens. On the brink of the Domestication Revolution, there were about a thousand times as many humans as when that conquest began. No animal ever conquered Earth like that before. Hunter-gatherer life was brutal, and slaughtering neighboring societies and stealing their women was standard practice. Half of the children died, in a trend that went back to gorillas, but maybe half of those dead children were killed by their parents, who could not afford to feed them. Infanticide was typical practice clear until the Industrial Revolution. For the few hunter-gatherers that lived to a ripe old age, they were often killed by their societies when they could not fend for themselves and food was scarce. Romanticizing that phase of the human journey is an exercise in folly.

What: Domestication of plants and animals
Who: Behaviorally modern humans,
Where: Several places independently
When: Animals beginning maybe 30,000 years ago (dogs), and plants beginning about 11,000 years ago
Why: For animals, dogs may have self-domesticated; for plants, population pressures, increased plant growth in this interglacial interval, and decline in megafauna from overhunting
Importance: Plant domestication allowed humanity to become sedentary on a large scale and led to expanding human populations (by hundreds of times), animal domestication led to reliable food and other consumable products, and new forms of power, acceleration of destruction of ecosystems for human benefit
Discussion: Between the first crops and the Industrial Revolution, humanity’s population increased about 200-fold, and grew three times faster than during the conquest of Earth. The prominent ideas about domesticating plants was that the easy meat was gone, there were a thousand times as many humans, and during this interglacial interval that was firmly established by 12,000 years ago, the atmosphere was friendlier for plants and humans began experimenting with crops. It was a big winner that led to everything that followed. Animals were domesticated around the same time, and their meat, milk, fur, and often-powerful muscles became the reason why today, humans and their domestic animals comprise 96% of Earth’s mammalian biomass. Hunter-gatherers either adopted domesticated life, were pushed to marginal lands that could not support domestic plants and animals, or went extinct.

There was a brief honeymoon of domestication, just like there was a brief golden age of the hunter-gatherer as pristine lands were plundered. Women were likely the domesticators of plants, as an adjunct to their gathering duties. Some early farming societies became matrilocal or multilocal, which broke up the male gangs that always vie for power in human societies, and those were likely humanity’s most peaceful preindustrial societies. Also, early farmers did not encounter many “pests” or weeds, and the soils and forests were intact. That honeymoon lasted for a time, but growing human populations, the adaptation of “pests,” the exhaustion of soil nutrients, and deforestation ended that short-lived golden age, and then it was back to the brink of survival, but with many more mouths to feed. Then agrarian life became the backbreaking life of drudgery that it has been known for, and farmers became smaller and sicklier than their hunter-gatherer progenitors.

What: Invention of civilization
Who: Sumerians, Chinese, Andeans, and Mesoamericans
Where: Four places independently
When: 7,400, 5,300, 5,500, and 3,200 years ago, respectively
Why: Benefits of civilization and exploitation by elites
Importance: Led to radical changes in the human journey, including the rise of professionals and elites, new tools, and human behaviors on an new scale, including warfare and slavery
Discussion: After several thousand years of plant domestication, in four places on Earth, civilization was independently invented, as a kind of convergent cultural evolution. Early civilizations were only possible on shorelines, so that the hinterland could supply them via low-energy water-transportation lanes. Cities led to the rise of professionals and elites. Professionals, liberated from subsistence duties, became the engine of invention, to the present day. Elites were more societal parasites that violently conquered early civilizations and skimmed off the surplus energy, mainly in food and other embodied energy. Elites are with us to this day.

Ever since the first civilizations, they conquered each other in the quest for empire. I have studied that subject way too much, and it could become numbing, how elites slaughtered each other to ascend the thrones, especially family members. The rise of civilization also saw the ascendance of slavery and a host of evils. Studying agrarian civilizations is never uplifting, in my experience, although technological and other kinds of “progress” were made at times. But all early civilizations collapsed, as no civilization has ever been energetically sustainable, and the forest-to-farm-to-desert dynamic has been all too evident over the history of civilization. Half of Earth’s plant biomass has been wiped out since the beginning of domestication.

But we have to thank civilization for writing, metallurgy, a host of technologies, and “progress” of sorts.

What: Second conquest of Earth
Who: Europeans
Where: European nations with Atlantic Ocean access
When: Began in the 1400s and lasts to this day
Why: Mastery of oceanic navigation, and advanced technologies and weaponry
Importance: An unprecedented catastrophe for most of humanity, led to the near-extinction of whales, and led to rise of the global economy and global elites
Discussion: I see that the rise of Europe began during the Medieval Warm Period, in what is called the High Middle Ages. Northwest Europeans took advantage of the watermill like no other people ever did. It was the first widespread application of non-muscle power on land. By the eve of the Industrial Revolution, there were a half million watermills in Europe, which did the work of tens of millions of people. Reliable and abundant rains from the Atlantic Ocean made it all possible. In the wake of Rome’s fall, Europeans became ruled by warring polities. The reintroduction of Greek writings with the fall of Spain to Christian armies led to the rise of humanism and the Renaissance. In northern Europe’s protoindustrialization, the printing press, which was one of many Chinese inventions (along with paper) that made their way to Europe, led to increasing literacy and the Scientific Revolution, and Chinese gunpowder revolutionized warfare.

That all contributed to Europe’s coming conquest of the world, but the prerequisite that made it all possible was the technical feat of turning Earth’s ocean into a low-energy transportation lane. Africa, the Americas, and Australia were nowhere near Europe’s level of technical/economic development, and when Europe began sailing the high seas to global conquest, the peoples of those continents had no effective defense. Europe’s conquest of the world was the greatest demographic catastrophe in the human journey. The Americas were depopulated within a century, by between 75% and 95%, largely from introduced diseases, but the sedentary populations were also enslaved and often worked to death. As the natives died off, then the Portuguese and Spanish began the transatlantic slave trade, which devastated Africa. The proto-industrializing Dutch and English soon pushed aside Portugal and Spain, while France joined the game. Whales were also driven to the brink of extinction during that scramble for the world. Basically, wherever Europeans found it easy to live, especially the British, they inflicted genocide on the inhabitants and “settled” the lands, but the greatest absolute death toll was inflicted by the British in India, at nearly two billion shortened lives over two centuries of rule. This dominance of the world by Europeans and their descendants (AKA “white people”) continues to this day, led by the USA. My sense is that today, global elites, who clandestinely run the world, began their rise to dominance during Europe’s conquest of Earth.

What: Exploitation of fossil fuels
Who: Humans in antiquity, but the English were the first to exploit it on a large scale
Where: China, England
When: 4,000 BCE in China, Romans mined coal in England, but English exploitation on a large scale began about 1000 CE
Why: Generally due to deforestation
Importance: The first radical new fuel source since the control of fire, which led to the Industrial Revolution, more expansion of human populations, and radical social changes, such as far less violence and far more humane (liberation of women and slaves, for instance, and general end of capital punishment), but burning fossil fuels is also warming Earth, industrialization has created new harmful substances, and global elites achieved the mastery of humanity and control the world economy
Discussion: The Chinese first mined coal several thousand years ago and the Romans mined British coal after their conquest. But the English began using coal again around 1000 CE, after the British countryside had been deforested during the High Middle Ages. Coal was a brutal fuel that nobody used unless they had to. The rigors of mining were harsh enough, often performed by slaves, but it burned with a hellish, noxious smoke. By the 1200s, London had a serious coal-pollution problem. London had coal-pollution disasters nearly until my lifetime. But deforested and industrializing England turned to coal like no other people ever did, and more than anything else, that led to the Industrial Revolution. Between 1560 and 1860, what became the United Kingdom (“UK”) increased its energy consumption by 30-fold, and 90% of all energy consumption came from coal, which even exceeded all of the photosynthesis of those lands. UK citizens were consuming several times the energy, per capita, than had ever been consumed before. Nothing remotely like it ever happened in world history. The Industrial Revolution was really the rise of energy-powered machines, which raised human standards of living to unimagined levels, and led to the biggest event in the human journey so far, which comes next.

What: End of childhood death
Who: English
Where: England
When: Beginning with the Industrial Revolution
Why: Improvements in nutrition, sanitation, and hygiene
Importance: Instead of half of all children dying, in industrial societies almost none do, which is a first for life on Earth
Discussion: Until the Industrial Revolution, half of all children died, in a trend that went back to gorillas. In London in 1730, 75% of children under age five died. By 1830, after a century of industrialization the death rate had fallen to 32%. That was unprecedented in the human journey. By the time I was born in the next century, childhood death had nearly vanished, and is less than 1% of children today in industrial nations. That gets my vote for the biggest event in the human journey. Contrary to medical-racket propaganda, it had almost nothing to do with medical interventions, but was due to improvements in sanitation, nutrition, and hygiene, which were side effects of industrialization. I have seen men minimize that change, but good luck finding a woman who minimizes that change. In 1500 England, not only would a mother have to watch half of her children die, but she had a 10% chance herself of dying in pregnancy or childbirth, so 15% of English women chose to be childless. There is no way to overstate the magnitude of that change, which was unique in the history of life on Earth.

Also, this is the ultimate existential risk for all of us. If we were all born three centuries ago, half of the people reading this would have died before adulthood. There has not been a bigger event than that for humanity.

What: Nuclear power
Who: Americans and their allies
Where: The USA
When: 1945
Why: To end World War II and take vengeance on Japan
Importance: Weaponry that could make Earth uninhabitable, but also a potential new energy source
Discussion: The World Wars were due to latecomers to industrialization, primarily Germany and Japan, trying to conquer lands like Western Europe did and acquire industrial levels of resources, and energy above all, as usual. But the Western powers already owned nearly the entire planet. Hitler literally used the Anglo-American model in North America for his plans for Eastern Europe: exterminate the natives and take their land. Japan had a similar “Manifest Destiny” attitude toward China. What made the German and Japanese imperial versions uniquely evil were their human experiments (the Japanese were worse than the Germans, but the USA covered it up) and Nazi death factories. But the existential atrocity was committed by the USA, as it dropped nuclear weapons on a defeated Japan that was trying to surrender. Most Americans thought it fitting vengeance for Japan’s “starting it,” but the USA purposefully goaded Japan into “starting” the Pacific War.

But on the day that the USA nuked Hiroshima, talk began on the potential of a new energy source. For several years, there was a global discussion about the potential of nuclear energy, before its dangers were fully appreciated. In recent years, the USA has once again been goading Russia toward nuclear war. And it looks like Donald Trump has ended the threat for now. If he permanently ends the specter of a nuclear holocaust, he will merit the Nobel Peace Prize that he so covets, and even his cherished place on Mount Rushmore. Splitting the atom opened a new Pandora’s box, and according to sources that I respect, that act attracted some galactic attention, and that comes soon.

What: The development of zero-point energy, antigravity, and related technologies
Who: Global elites
Where: Likely the West, especially the USA
When: Perhaps the early 20^th century, but certainly by the 1950s
Why: Clandestine elite inventions, likely from reverse-engineering ET technology
Importance: A complete revolution in human societies, ending the known world
Discussion: Until now in this post, almost everything that I wrote about came from my studies. This event comes from my personal experience and the experiences of those close to me. As I stated in my recent interview, which is my first interview since 2011, if you had tried to tell me about the global elite when I became Dennis Lee’s partner in early 1987, I would not have known what you were talking about. The next two years were my life’s worst, but it still took me many years to understand how involved the global elite were in what we did. I recently revealed the identity of a corporate hit man who likely worked for them, after I learned that he died. I got to bear the brunt of organized suppression, and my key awakening moment was my day on the witness stand in Kangaroo Court.

I am all too familiar with organized suppression, but it took more years to really understand why they did it: what we pursued, the global elite have long possessed, likely for the past century. People close to me got to witness free-energy, antigravity, and other technologies that the global elite possess. The organized suppression was to ensure that we never got close to delivering those technologies to the public. It would not only be the biggest event in the human journey, in which humanity begins living Star Trek lives (Level One on the Kardashev Scale), but it also would mean the end of elites and their control of the global economy.

What: The ET presence
Who: ETs
Where: Likely from neighboring star systems
When: Maybe at the beginning of life on Earth, but a likely pronounced presence when nuclear weapons invented
Why: Only ETs know for sure
Importance: If they initiated life on Earth, that importance is obvious; if they are the source of free energy and related technologies, they may be responsible for the biggest event in the human journey, and their acknowledgement will mean a vast change in humanity’s self-image
Discussion: My friend who got that underground technology show does not even believe in ETs, but what he described to me I saw Steven Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses describe several years later. I have since encountered people who stated that what my friend saw largely came from reverse-engineered ET technology. That makes sense and I won’t deny it.

Several times, I have gone to watch UFOs fly over, and was never disappointed. I have read in channeled literature that life on Earth was seeded here by ETs, and nothing in this realm would surprise me too much. I am well aware of Greer’s free-energy efforts and wish him the best. My work is not as ET-centric as his is, but our approaches have plenty in common (I have my doubts about his approach, but I would love to be pleasantly surprised if he succeeds). In a story that I recently wrote, about the beginning of what I call the Fifth Epoch, ETs have their place.

Of course, our self-extinction also looms, which could take most if not all of Earth’s ecosystems with us, which would trump everything else on this list. Time is short, and I have a plan.

Best,

Wade

Yesterday’s post on what I call the Fifth Epoch inspired this post. This post is a result of my experiences and studies, and it chronicles the biggest events in the human journey that I know of, and those that loom. So, without further preamble...

What a superb post this last one was, immediately above. Gave me a lot to think about, much of which overlaps with what I regularly dwell on myself.

A lifetime went into that post.

From Substack:

Yesterday’s post on what I consider to be the biggest events in the human journey, with the biggest of all looming, is a more organized version of this post. My sources are nearly all popularized science and scholarship, so that anybody with some mental horsepower and gumption can understand it. The parts that came from my experiences, and the experiences of those close to me, I have also tried to make as accessible as possible. My journey has been an open book, documented as well as I can. I reveal names when I am free to, as I recently did for a corporate hit man and some others. I am the biographer of Ed Herman, Brian O’Leary, and Dennis Lee to a degree. I am the only person on the Internet carrying Gary Wean’s torch, Ralph McGehee’s, and I’ll happily carry Christopher Black’s. My pantheon is not a large one. Sam Husseini earned his place in it long ago, as one of its few living members.

I have one primary goal: helping humanity get over the hump into what I call the Fifth Epoch. It will be the biggest event in the human journey, and that is plenty to have on one man’s plate. This has been the task of a lifetime, which really began about the time that I could walk.

What I can’t do is give somebody an underground exotic technology show, perfectly explicate free-energy physics, and I can’t make anybody care or awaken. The people that I seek have to achieve that on their own. My journey has been teaching me patience. My public presence has resulted in my being regularly contacted by the public. I have had many Internet assailants, but I have found ways to keep them at bay. Sometimes those contacts lead to building my circle a little more. More often, I am approached by people who are interested in an aspect of my work, and as a comprehensivist, there is something for everybody. But they rarely expand their horizons beyond that one subject and they rarely stay very long. When they try to address other topics in my work, they can get in way over their heads and often try to drag me into rabbit holes to nowhere. Nothing outranks the energy issue in our universe. I don’t write about something unless I know the subject, and I have always hewed closely to my experiences and those of my circles. My work is conservative and relatively simple.

I am an old man now, and those in my circles are dying off. I know that my approach will work, if I can find the people for it. Others can also do this, but is not an easy task. I keep hanging out my shingle and seeing who arrives, taking this one step at a time. I was pleased with my recent interview, and there will likely be more. There is plenty to discuss.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

My former partner, Dennis Lee, once wrote that my first love was the environment. I still don’t know how he figured that out, as I didn’t think that I advertised it. But healing Earth’s environment and humanity’s heavy footprint has always been a top priority of mine.

The one that is obvious, especially vis-à-vis the free-energy issue, is Global Warming, AKA Climate Change. I have written on this topic at length. I take the long view, of the levels of atmospheric gases over the eons, and the mechanics of the warming and cooling of Earth. Everybody over age 10 should know the rudiments of it. There is a strange denial of this issue, generally in right-wing circles. I admit that the elite “solutions” to Global Warming are unpalatable and likely fraudulent, but that is no reason to deny the problem. Global Warming presents existential risks to humanity, and the biggest immediate one that I see is massive crop failures, in which billions of people starve to death, which would likely trigger a world war. The collapse of organisms, ecosystems, societies, and civilizations all have the same energy-based dynamics.

But Global Warming is just part of what I call the race of the catastrophes. More than half of the world’s coral reefs have been wiped out in my lifetime. That is hard to put into perspective. We are living through what is called the Sixth Mass Extinction, which is completely human-inflicted. It began millions of years ago, as our evolutionary ancestors began driving the world’s easy meat to extinction, which has only accelerated. Today, 96% of Earth’s mammalian biomass is either humans or our domestic animals.

I lived through awesome air pollution in Los Angeles in my youth, witnessed the aftermath of an oil spill, and still got tar on my shoes from it a decade later. But that is just part of it. I have hiked through the devastation of mine tailings, and mining Earth will be one of the first things to go (1) in what I call the Fifth Epoch.

Environmental issues also have surreal aspects. For instance, the evidence is strong that polio is caused by pesticides, not the polio virus, as AIDS is also likely a chemical-poisoning disease, not caused by the HIV virus. The medical racket has always defended corporate chemicals, no matter how harmful they are. Perhaps the strangest episode of all, however, is how fluoride, a deadly industrial waste, got a makeover into compulsory “medicine.” So, industrial pollutants can spill over into “medicine.”

From Substack:

As a disillusioned idealist who has been at it for a lifetime, I have had many sobering moments. I went through years of idealism and disillusionment before my supernatural introduction to the man who became my partner. Dennis Lee is the most amazing person that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. He was the Indiana Jones of the free-energy field, who should be dead dozens of times over, and I recently wrote about how prison officials repeatedly tried to get him murdered by the inmates. Those are the last of the murder attempts that I am aware of. After TPTB couldn’t kill him, they kept up with the legal attacks and got him banned from the energy industry in the USA. My professor who became my partner helped me save Dennis’s life, and his participation ruined and shortened his life. It was the greatest sorrow of my journey, which has had plenty of them. Some were Shakespearian-level tragedies. The early death of Dennis’s wife Alison haunts me.

My efforts since 1990 have been largely devoted to picking up the pieces of my shattered life, studying, and writing. Once in a while, I encountered kindred spirits, people who lived by their consciences and were not afraid to speak out and act. There are not many like them on the planet. When I encountered them, they usually could not get rid of me, and I carried their spears at times. This post will summarize my writings on those people.

I met Brian O’Leary in 1991, and we hit it off. He had been exploring the fringes since his 1979 remote-viewing experience (1) ruined him as a mainstream scientist, and he was just getting his feet wet in the free-energy field. I became his biographer and have summarized his life at Substack. I also did an audio version. Brian was not just a celebrity dabbler in the free-energy field, but he had important things to say (1, 2, 3). I wish that Brian had lived to see the current furor over Mars missions and colonization. I carried Brian’s free-energy spears to his life’s end. I recently watched the movie of Gerard O’Neill’s life, who was Brian’s close colleague. Brian’s life was shortened by an incident related to the military and UFOs, as the spooks can play hardball. I sure miss Brian.

Dennis tried to mount a free-energy effort by rallying the right, and Brian tried to rally the left. Neither effort really had a chance, and not only from the united opposition, but their allies often betrayed them. That said, I have witnessed plenty of heroism from both the right and left, and it could really cost them, including their lives. Danny Casolaro and Paul Wilcher paid with their lives for digging up DC muck, and Eugene Mallove may have also paid that price for stirring things up around DC.

Before we were wiped out in my home town, people arrived to warn us and share their stories (1, 2). That alone was heroic. After we were raided, I met the founder of the paralegal group that helped us with our lawsuits over our civil rights violations, and I heard him talk of their challenges, of people being murdered, and how their compound was burned down and bulldozed while they were at church. They were right-wingers from Montana, but highly heroic. When I met Gary Wean in my hour of need, his advice was critical in my springing Dennis from jail with my professor. They don’t come much more heroic than Gary, and his knowledge of the JFK assassination was only a bonus. Gary also survived a murder attempt, which comes with the territory. I have summarized Gary’s life at Substack and I also did an audio post.

Steven Greer had similar travails. Many other medical professionals and scientists who ran afoul of the medical racket also had hell to pay.

Christopher Black took on the American Empire repeatedly, had his life threatened by the CIA, and made a dictator’s hit list. Chris’s life was likely shortened by his adventures. I am in tears as I write this.

Ralph McGehee’s heroic journey is legendary, as a CIA case officer who eventually figured out the real game and spoke out, at great personal cost.

Those people risked and often lost their lives, as their work made various elites and other scoundrels uncomfortable, to the degree where the threat had to be neutralized.

I also encountered many people or their work, in which they did not risk their lives so much as risk having their careers and lives ruined, which often happened. And even they could get injured, such as earlier this year, when the State Department’s goons gave Sam Husseini a concussion for daring to ask questions in a rigged press conference. Max Blumenthal narrowly escaped that fate. Sam would say that his concussion was trivial, compared to the hundreds of Palestinian media workers murdered by Israel in Gaza, which looks like Hiroshima today, and the USA’s hands are very bloody in this genocide, as usual.

Howard Zinn was clubbed unconscious by a cop as a teenager, when he joined a protest, and it primed him for a lifetime of heroic activism. Howard was a giant among imperial midgets in academia, as were Ed Herman and Noam Chomsky. Ed and Chris helped me understand what the West was doing to Africa. Joe Lauria and his stable of authors at Consortium News have long been heroes to me. They generally have had hell to pay, such as how Craig Murray was kangarooed into prison. Consortium was Ed’s go-to news site in his last years. The irreverent Matt Taibbi has been on a hero’s journey for many years, and he came to my attention when he took on Wall Street during the Financial Crisis of 2008-2009, which is a near-and-dear subject of mine. I love reading Paul Thacker’s work, as he is another light in the darkness.

I encountered the work of saints such as John Robbins, turning his back on fame and fortune to pursue the truth and health. I eventually learned that Bucky Fuller was the professional grandfather that I didn’t know I had, and our paths were similar.

The in-our-faces insanity of recent years has awakened people who refused to remain silent, such as on the COVID-19 pandemic and the trans craze. Kara Dansky lost her career as a human-rights attorney for speaking out on how the trans craze tramples the rights of women and children. She has a place of prominence on my Substack page, as do several MDs and others who woke up, especially during COVID, such as Pierre Kory and Peter McCullough, who may be the world’s most published cardiologist. Kory’s close colleague is Paul Marik, who I believe is the world’s most published emergency-room MD. These are not fringe nuts. All three men had their medical credentials revoked for speaking out on the COVID response. That echoes the fate of Peter Duesberg, whose career was ruined by Anthony Fauci when he dissented from the HIV/AIDS paradigm. Duesberg was the world’s foremost virologist when he registered his dissent. Celia Farber had her career ruined by exposing Fauci’s AIDS racket. They paid the price for speaking out and exposing the medical racket. Long before COVID, my medical-racket studies were helped by the work of people such as Suzanne Humphries, another dissident MD who exposed vaccination, as well as Richard Moskowitz and heroic others.

Of the 3,000 books in my personal library, a significant fraction is by heroic authors who challenged establishment dogma of many kinds. An example is David Stannard’s masterpiece on the genocide that Europe and its political descendants inflicted on the Western Hemisphere. When Ward Churchill followed his lead with his own book, he was soon kangarooed out of his career. On the edge of the fringes, Bill Ryan and James Gilliland have performed heroically.

I now come to the curious case of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. I am the only person on the Internet who carries Gary’s torch, and Gary knew three weeks after the JFK hit that Oswald did not do it. Nobody has to believe me or Gary on this, but they just have to compare the chapter of Gary’s 1987 book versus the Operation Northwoods document that was declassified in 1997, which should remove about 100% of anybody’s doubt on Gary’s reporting. Because of other events in Gary’s life, such as having a conversation with Jack Ruby in 1947, Gary became the originator of the “Israel did it” hypothesis of the JFK hit. While Israel was definitely a beneficiary of JFK’s murder and may well have been involved at some level, I doubt that Israelis were the masterminds. The USA’s Eastern Oligarchy and military-industrial complex likely were, in my view, and there is evidence for that. I have provided my thoughts on the matter of Israel’s involvement. For me, the greatest lesson of the JFK hit was not who did it, but how the American president could be murdered in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses, and it was all covered up. For me, JFK’s murder marked the permanent demotion of the American presidency. All presidents since JFK were puppets and knew it.

Until 2013, the only thing that I knew about RFK, Jr., was that he was a heroin addict when young. I can only imagine what having your father and uncle murdered in that fashion can do to somebody. I worked for the Kennedys the day before I became Dennis’s partner, and a few months later, RFK, Jr.’s older brother called our office to insult Dennis, so my relationship to the Kennedys is complex.

When I heard RFK, Jr., go on national TV in 2013 and state that his father never believed the Warren Commission’s conclusions, it was the first such admission that I ever knew a Kennedy to make, and he rose in my esteem with that admission. I didn’t hear of him again until the COVID pandemic, and his organization’s site became my go-to source for COVID information. I wrote my original medical-racket essay around 2000, and while I wrote about the germ theory of disease and vaccines, I was more focused on the degenerative-disease racket, especially the cancer racket. I was aware of Peter Duesberg’s fate for challenging AIDS dogma, but I was ignorant of the infectious-disease racket that Anthony Fauci was building. That all changed when I read RFK, Jr.’s masterpiece on Fauci. I also read Kennedy’s A Letter to Liberals, on how the Democratic Party had lost its way and only bore a faint resemblance to the Party under his uncle and Franklin Roosevelt. I read some of his other works, and when he ran for president for the 2024 election, it looked like I would cast my first vote for president since Ralph Nader in 2000. But I was appalled by his stance of unconditional support for Israel. It almost made me think that he was well aware of the possible Israeli connection to his father’s and uncle’s murders and took the path of self-preservation. I don’t know what the truth is, but it was bizarre to me to see Kennedy’s stance on Israel, especially as it is committing genocide in Gaza. He seemed fairly well-versed on the USA’s imperial foreign policy.

Until probably the past decade, while I was sure that Oswald did not kill JFK, I was kind of lukewarm on JFK as president, and I was probably influenced by lefty writings. My views on his presidency have changed in the past decade and it won more of my respect, with all of his legendary philandering aside (it seems that most presidents did that, alas). Today, my basic view has not changed that JFK was murdered because his policies were contrary to various capitalist and imperial interests. What has changed in the past decade is that I came to understand better how much JFK’s policies would have riled up capitalist and imperial interests. When I heard from the original Watergate attorney that JFK was killed over the ET issue, it made immediate sense to me, and my guess is that it was related to his efforts to end the Cold War, and especially his proposed joint manned mission to the Moon with the Soviet Union.

Other than perhaps JFK, I am not a fan of any American president. That said, I was floored when RFK, Jr., joined Trump’s campaign. I have heard, and don’t seriously doubt, that the assassination attempt on Trump brought both men closer together, if only from shared trauma. One thing is for sure: there has never been anybody remotely close to RFK, Jr., at the head of the American medical bureaucracy, and I have written on what I hope that Kennedy accomplishes during his tenure. He has a tall task ahead of him, but he sure is trying, as the media attacks him daily, but it is a mouthpiece for the medical racket. These are strange times to be an American.

I consider the people I named in this post to be part of that nobler fraction of humanity that has always been very rare. They and unnamed others helped inspire my efforts, and they will always have my gratitude. They give me hope that humanity will turn the corner and avoid the abyss that looms. I have generally considered my pantheon to be pretty small, but in writing this post, I have realized that it is not that small.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

A generation ago, Brian O’Leary told me that seven cartels control the global economy. From what I had seen, that was not surprising. The seven cartels are:

• Energy (with a bullet)
• Medicine
• Media
• Military
• Intelligence
• Banking
• Organized religion

They interlock at the top with the global elite (and I have summarized my posts on them). I heard Steven Greer say that about 200-300 people run the show at the top, with a couple of dozen at the apex. That squares with information that I have seen for many years, and I’ll buy it.

But those are just the rackets at the top. There are many others, and they can complement each other. The media enables the other rackets, for instance. Big Food’s processed food provides the patients for the medical racket, in what I have called vertical integration. The trans craze is another medical-racket bonanza. The rackets can connect in surreal ways.

My companies were attacked by the energy and medical rackets at the same time, as I got both barrels. I have summarized my medical-racket posts more than once. The medical racket has been in everybody’s face in recent years, but the energy racket is the big one. The energy racket can be seen in the fraudulent mainstream energy “solutions,” which Brian said were all too little and too late.

The rackets all have similar sociologies (1) and flimsy ideological foundations. They all have their cheerleaders and attack dogs (1, 2). I am all too familiar with organized suppression and its tactics, to keep the energy racket in the chips.

This is what a world of scarcity and fear looks like. Ultimately, those rackets are all rooted in the energy issue, energy scarcity in particular, and they all will vanish in what I call the Fifth Epoch (1), along with global elites. The global elite know this, which is why their organized-suppression activities are so ardent.

From Substack:

I recently summarized what I see as the biggest events in the human journey. This will be what I see as the biggest events in the journey of life on Earth, and going back a little earlier.

What: Universe
Event: The beginning, the story since then, and where it may be heading
When: It began 13.6 billion years ago
Why: God only knows
Importance: It brought our physical universe into existence
Discussion: At age 16, I began having paranormal experiences. Some were spectacular, and I know that materialist theories of consciousness are false. Those experiences ruined me as a mainstream scientist before my career began. But I resumed my scientific studies after my life-ruining adventures in the energy business, which even I sometimes have a hard time believing happened.

A close friend was given a demonstration of technologies that would upend orthodox physics if they were publicly available. So I know that orthodox theories fall woefully short of describing our reality. According to orthodox cosmology, in which our universe was born with a Big Bang and is still expanding (although there are still dissident views in orthodoxy to that view), everything in our universe is comprised of energy, but the greatest scientists admitted that we do not know what energy is or where it came from. The most basic questions remain unanswered. My studies of near-death experiences make it clear that time and space are features of physical reality that don’t exist in other dimensions like they do here. There is a great deal of scientific investigation of these issues, which the defenders of orthodoxy either ignore or attempt to invalidate with pedestrian and irrational exercises, if not fraudulent ones.

One of my favorite channeled sources stated that the Big Bang and the idea of an expanding and collapsing universe have a certain validity, as our universe vacillates between matter and antimatter states, and that the expansion and collapse of our universe has happened more times than there are stars in our universe, which our puny brains cannot really comprehend.

With those limitations acknowledged, this post will be more of a tour of the orthodox theories and evidence of the journey of life on Earth. With all of these events, even in orthodoxy there is dissent and alternative hypotheses, and I am generally presenting what I believe to be the leading versions of events.

The leading theory is that the visible universe is almost completely comprised of its simplest element, hydrogen, and enough hydrogen and its attendant gravity is what makes stars. I’ll leave dark matter and dark energy aside for now. They have never been observed, and even in orthodox circles they are suspected to be fudges to preserve Einstein’s equations, like a phantom planet was proposed to preserve Newton’s equations.

All elements other than the simplest ones (hydrogen, helium, and a little lithium) were created either in the fusion processes of stars or collisions of stars and their remnants. For instance, iron is the heaviest element that our Sun will create in its lifetime. Earth’s gold and uranium, for instance, are thought to have been born in those star-sized collisions.

What: Sun
Event: A star is born
When: 4.6 billion years ago
Why: It seems that the Sun formed from the detritus of previous stars and primordial hydrogen, triggered by a local supernova explosion
Importance: It made our solar system
Discussion: The leading theory is that a nearby supernova (or multiple ones) created the disturbance that led to the collapse of a molecular cloud, which is how our Sun formed. In that cloud were also heavier elements from former stars and star collisions, which is what our solar system is comprised of. The Sun has been slowly brightening since its formation, and will be in its main sequence for billions more years before it becomes a red giant and then a white dwarf.

What: Earth
Event: The creation of the home for all life that we know of
When: 4.5 billion years ago
Why: Formed from the accretion disk that made the Sun
Importance: The ground that we stand on
Discussion: Earth is thought to have formed less than 100 million years after the Sun did, from the spiral of stardust of the accretion disk. Earth had the good fortune of forming in what is called the habitable zone, in which Earth retained its water and atmosphere. Venus likely never had standing water, and its atmosphere is almost all carbon-dioxide at 100 times the pressure of Earth’s. Mars had water and an atmosphere, but it was largely lost to space billions of years ago. Earth is the unique planet in our solar system that had the right conditions for life as we know it to form. Earth will be able to host life for another billion years or so, before carbon starvation and the brightening Sun ends the game.

What: Moon
Event: An awesome collision
When: 4.5 billion years ago
Why: The early solar system was crowded
Importance: Earth’s oceanic tides, for example
Discussion: Today, there are no completely satisfying theories on how the Moon formed, but the general idea is that a Mars-sized planet collided with Earth about 50 million years into Earth’s life, and the Moon was the result. There is nothing else like the Earth-Moon system in our solar system. The Moon is so large in comparison to Earth that the Earth-Moon system has been called a two-planet system. The Moon may help maintain Earth’s magnetic field, and is responsible for Earth’s tides, which affected the evolution of life on Earth.

What: Life
Event: A miracle
When: Over four billion years ago
Why: Nobody is quite sure
Importance: We would not be here otherwise
Discussion: All hypotheses for the beginning of life on Earth that I have seen have been inspired guesses. Did it begin on volcanic events on the ocean floor, in freshwater environments, or was it seeded here from a Martian meteorite or even by ETs? I like Nick Lane’s work on the idea of “white smoker” volcanic events, but scientists will never know for sure. In Lane’s latest book, he ranked energy above reproduction, which makes sense, as life had to exist before it could reproduce. But those were the two main tricks of life: acquire energy and reproduce.

What: Enzymes
Event: Life created proteins that made chemical reactions far easier to achieve
When: Probably one of life’s first inventions, at or near the beginning
Why: Speed up chemical reactions
Importance: Life would have never progressed without it
Discussion: Early on, life evolved to make proteins (from the RNA blueprint – DNA came later) that made chemical reactions happen faster, by up to billions of times. We call them enzymes. Without that immense energetic boost, life would have never progressed much, if at all.

What: Photosynthesis
Event: Life captured light
When: Maybe 3.4 billion years ago
Why: Life sought a new energy source
Importance: Life would be a very minor curiosity, of some microbes eking by, if not for photosynthesis
Discussion: The earliest life took advantage of the energy in chemical bonds (called chemosynthesis), but after hundreds of millions of years, some life learned to capture light. It may have originally been infrared light near volcanic vents on the ocean floor, but eventually sunlight was captured. Photosynthesis has been the primary energy source for Earth’s life ever since. This is an event that is considered to have happened one time with one organism, and all photosynthesizers are descended from that organism.

What: Oxygen
Event: One bacterium evolved to split water to get its electrons for photosynthesis
When: As long as 3.5 billion years ago
Why: Electrons are not easy to obtain
Importance: It saved Earth’s ocean from being blasted into space, and thus saved all life on Earth
Discussion: This is another event that is considered to have happened one time with one organism. An enzyme was repurposed to split water to get its electron to power photosynthesis. It was the beginning of oxygenating Earth’s surface. Oxygen is the second-most electron greedy of all elements, and taking an electron from water was no easy trick. The waste byproduct of that new process was oxygen gas. That gas not only began oxidizing Earth’s surface (including forming most of the iron deposits that are mined today), but life also learned to use oxygen in respiration, which supercharged it and led to the rise of complex life. Another outcome was that that liberated oxygen formed the ozone layer that protects Earth’s surface from ultraviolet light, which is very damaging to life’s molecules. That atmospheric oxygen also bonded with the hydrogen that was making its way to space, which made water again and largely stopped the process of the Sun’s blasting Earth’s ocean into space. Mars likely lost its ocean that way, and we all have to thank that lone bacterium for learning that trick. Earth is the only place in the known universe with so much free oxygen.

What: Mitochondria
Event: An Archaean and a bacterium formed a partnership
When: Likely between 2.1 and 1.6 billion years ago
Why: It was likely initially an act of either predation or parasitism, but it turned into symbiosis
Importance: It was perhaps the key to the rise of complex life
Discussion: There is plenty of debate on just how complex cells came into being, but a key event, and maybe the key event, was when a bacterium came to live inside of an Archaean. It became the first mitochondrion. Once again, this is an event that is considered to have happened one time with one organism. The first mitochondria may have respired with hydrogen, but mitochondria were eventually adapted to use oxygen, which was a supercharging event, without which complex life might not have arisen at all. About 10% of the human body by weight is mitochondria. This was generally the last step in the evolution of life so that, pound-for-pound, complex life uses energy 100,000 times as fast as the Sun produces it. There is nothing else like it in the known universe.

What: Chloroplasts
Event: An oxygenating photosynthetic bacterium formed a symbiosis with early complex life.
When: Likely between 1.6 billion years ago and 600 million years ago.
Why: A likely predation event that turned into a symbiosis
Importance: It made plants possible
Discussion: Yet again, this is an event that is considered to have happened one time with one organism. That cyanobacterium that came to live in a complex cell is what led to plants. For land animals like me, its importance cannot be overstated. Plants are the basis for nearly all land-based complex life. Plants capture the energy that powers land-based ecosystems.

What: Animals
Event: Complex cells entered into a symbiosis that formed large organisms that relied on photosynthesizers for their energy
When: 760 to 665 million years ago, but maybe even a billion years ago
Why: Another symbiotic event
Importance: I am an animal
Discussion: As this list may make clear, symbiosis has often been a key way that evolution has led to new lifeforms. The earliest animals were sponges and other immobile creatures, and stationary animals generally dominated for many millions of years, but they largely went extinct, and relatively few animals are stationary today (it went from 80/20 to 20/80).

What: Ecosystems
Event: The Cambrian Explosion
When: Beginning 541 million years ago
Why: There are several schools of thought on that
Importance: The first “modern” ecosystem, which led to increasing diversity and nearly all animal phyla were established in the Cambrian
Discussion: The Cambrian Explosion is considered the most important event in the history of complex life. Why it happened has been one of paleology’s more enduring debates. The rise in oxygen levels has long been suspected to be a trigger for it, but the history of oxygen levels themselves is one of the liveliest controversies in paleology that I have seen. What nobody debates is the eonic significance of it. That event began what has been called the Phanerozoic, which is the eon of complex life that we still live in. One of the most fascinating related topics is the Cambrian Period’s precursor, the recently named Ediacaran. The Ediacaran’s creatures have been long debated as early animals, plants, or neither. They weren’t what would be generally recognized as animals today, but the leading idea is that they were early animals.

The Cambrian was the first time that recognizable ecosystems appeared, with what we now call food chains with apex predators, even though in the Cambrian, 80% of all animals were immobile. All but one of the recognized phyla today originated in the Cambrian, including vertebrates, which humans belong to. The Cambrian became the template for all that followed with complex life.

What: Extinctions
Event: Species extinctions, which go back to the earliest life; in the eon of complex life, there have been many mass extinctions
When: Probably began over four billion years ago and life on Earth will end with the last extinction
Why: Always primarily an energy issue, with many proximate causes
Importance: An essential feature of evolution
Discussion: More than 99.9% of all species that ever lived are extinct. Extinction is an essential feature of evolution. The first species on Earth went extinct, and a fossil record of them will likely never be found. When Earth’s atmosphere became oxygenated, there may have been the first event that is called a mass extinction, when many or most species go extinct at the same time. I have listed the most significant ones here. Today’s humans are the only surviving species of the line that split from apes several million years ago, and our turn will come.

What: Land
Event: Life moved to land from the ocean
When: Maybe began 2.4 billion years ago
Why: It was a frontier to settle
Importance: Life took new directions on land
Discussion: Scientists think that there is evidence of life on land over two billion years ago. None of it would have been too impressive to modern eyes until plants began the migration to land. It could have begun 600 million years ago, but the first plant fossils on land are dated to about 470 million years ago. Plants competed for sunlight and other benefits, and about 40 million years later, along came animals, mainly arthropods at first, which also dominated the Cambrian. For the next 300 million years or so, plants defended against animals, with bark, thorns, toxins, and the like. After 40 million years or so of arthropod tenure on land, fish began to invade. Push-pull dynamics were likely involved, as the lobe-finned fish that migrated to land were losers to ray-finned fish in the ocean. What began as an act of survival became an opportunity. The big evolutionary innovations often came from the fringes, where the risk-reward ratio was high for marginal species that did not have much to lose. Those innovations often led to dominance for the inventors.

Land-based ecosystems were radically different from aquatic ones, partly due to the adaptations needed to survive on land, and most phyla have not made the transition. Animals dominate the ocean, and cyanobacteria form the oceanic food-chain’s base. Plants comprise 82% of the world’s biomass today, and it was nearly 90% before the human Domestication Revolution wiped out half of plant biomass. Land made that all possible.

What: Ice
Event: Earth has experienced several ice ages
When: Beginning more than two billion years ago to today
Why: Primarily declining greenhouse gases and continental configurations
Importance: Dramatic environmental changes and elevated extinctions
Discussion: Ice ages are times of environmental tumult and elevated extinctions. Earth’s first ice age began about 2.4 billion years ago, and the leading hypothesis is that the oxygenation of Earth’s atmosphere (see above) removed methane from the primordial atmosphere, and methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide is. That same oxygenation is also thought to have driven many microbial species to extinction, as oxygen was highly toxic to them. That is hypothesized as Earth’s first mass extinction. That ice age lasted for hundreds of millions of years, and the next one that began about 720 million years ago and ended about 635 million years ago (when I wrote my essay the included it in 2014, it was thought to have begun 850 million years ago, to show how flimsy those old dates can be). That was the notorious “snowball Earth” ice age. Complex life began its rise after the ice age ended, and it was likely no coincidence. Low levels of greenhouse gases are implicated in all of Earth’s ice ages, through either lower volcanism (which introduces carbon to the carbon cycle) or higher deposition (which removes carbon from the carbon cycle). Also, the continental configurations seem relevant. In the eon of complex life there have been three ice ages, including the one that we are in today, and elevated extinctions accompany the process. The end of the previous ice age coincided with the greatest extinction event in the eon of complex life. Humans may have ended this ice age by burning up Earth’s hydrocarbon deposits to power humanity’s industrial Epoch. We will see about those extinctions.

What: Dinosaurs
Event: The arrival of dinosaurs and their archosaur cousins and their domination of Earth (land, water, and air)
When: Dinosaurs appeared about 233-to-243 million years ago, dominated after 201 million years ago, and a bolide drove them to extinction 66 million years ago
Why: Likely their ability to rapidly grow to huge sizes
Importance: A key evolutionary period in the eon of complex life
Discussion: Rock stars among children, dinosaurs are among the most fascinating life forms in Earth’s history. The ancestors of mammals dominated during the Permian Period, while the ancestors of dinosaurs were fringe dwellers. But after the greatest extinction event in the eon of complex life, the ancestors of dinosaurs soon rose to prominence, while what became mammals became fringe dwellers. Dinosaurs appeared between 243 and 233 million years ago, about 10 million years before mammals did. Early dinosaurs vied with other reptilians while rat-sized mammals lived on the fringes, in burrows which they left at night to feed. After the Triassic Extinction, which was one of the major ones, dinosaurs and their archosaur cousins dominated land, sea, and air for the next 135 million years, until a bolide event ended it all. The only dinosaurs to survive were beaked birds, probably because they were seed eaters and enough seeds survived for some of them to survive that cataclysm.

Why dinosaurs rose to prominence has been one of the many controversies in paleology, but it likely was related to how fast they grew to sizes never seen before or since, their speed, which is thought to be related to their metabolism, temperature regulation, and breathing behavior, and they survived a mass extinction at 230 million years ago, which wiped out a proto-mammalian line. The ground shook when those giants roamed the land. There were three basic types of dinosaurs: browsers like stegosaurs and triceratops, the immense sauropods, and the bipedal theropods that often preyed on them, although birds are theropods.

Some dinosaurs had relatively large brains so were likely highly intelligent (many bird species are), and some even had hands. If not for the bolide event, maybe Earth would host spacefaring dinosaurs today instead of spacefaring mammals.

What: Flowers
Event: Plants evolved to feed animals instead of defend against them
When: Maybe began 190 million years ago, but certainly by 125 million years ago
Why: Feeding animals lowered the reproductive costs of plants
Importance: The greatest symbiosis of plant and animal ever, which had dramatic evolutionary impacts
Discussion: For hundreds of millions of years, plants defended against animals, with bark, thorns, toxins, and the like. Plant reproduction was also very costly. A fir tree could produce a million cones for every one that lived to become a large tree, and vast amounts of pollen were released, to fertilize neighboring members of the species. Between 190 million and 125 million years ago (I used 160 million in my original essay), flowering plants appeared, and they turned plant strategies on their head. Instead of defending against animals, they fed them, as a way to not only reduce their reproductive costs, but animals that ate pollen, nectar, and fruit were less likely to eat the vital plant parts. It is the greatest symbiosis between plant and animal ever. Flowering plants soon became a hit with dinosaurs and other animals. Flowering plants also grew and matured faster than animal-defending plants did, and they dominate Earth’s warm climates today.

What: Mammals
Event: Mammals arrived on the evolutionary scene, with markedly different biology and behaviors from their reptilian cousins
When: Mammals evolved about 225 million years ago
Why: The arrival of mammals reflected different evolutionary trends, such as in their teeth, jaws, brains, fur, and how they fed their infants
Importance: After that bolide event ended the reign of dinosaurs, mammals have dominated Earth for the past 66 million years
Discussion: From their arrival on the evolutionary scene 225 million years ago to the bolide event of 66 million years ago, mammals were fringe-dwellers, trying to survive in a world dominated by dinosaurs. Early mammals were about the size of rats and never got bigger than raccoons before that bolide event. They generally lived in burrows and were nocturnal feeders, as dinosaurs dominated the daylight hours.

From the beginning, mammals were relatively brainy, thought to be to support the keen senses that mammals need to survive. They developed teeth that were only replaced once, a different jaw that allowed for larger brains, fur, most of them developed live birth instead of laying eggs, and they provided milk to their infants. It was a very different direction in evolution, which might have gone nowhere if not for that bolide. But that bolide did hit, and those fringe-dwelling mammals survived when dinosaurs, other than beaked birds, did not. As the biomes recovered from that cataclysm, mammals wasted no time in rising to dominance and often becoming huge, if not nearly so large as dinosaurs. Nearly all mammals today had recognizable ancestors by 50 million years ago. Just then, however, the past 200 million years of a warm Earth began to end, and with a few blips, Earth steadily cooled to today’s ice age. And then one mammal rose to dominance and has wiped out nearly all mammals that it did not domesticate, as well as half of Earth’s plant biomass, most coral ecosystems, and that species has taken Earth to the brink of an extinction event that might exceed all others. That is quite a feat. Were mammals a “good” evolutionary idea? Is “intelligence” an evolutionary dead-end?

What: Grasslands
Event: Grasses came to prominence in a cooling, drying Earth
When: Grasses evolved at least 100 million years ago, and by five million years ago, all continents other than Antarctica had extensive grasslands
Why: A new evolutionary strategy for flowering plants, which became highly successful as Earth cooled
Importance: Not as dramatic as the evolution of flowering plants, but grasses led to new biomes, with profound evolutionary consequences
Discussion: People are generally surprised to learn that grasses are fairly new on the evolutionary scene, and especially that the rise of grasslands is quite recent. It was not until about five million years ago that grasslands became dominant biomes. The Earth has been cooling and drying for 50 million years because of declining carbon dioxide levels, right-wing protestations notwithstanding. Another piece of evidence for that is that somewhere around 30 million years ago, plants invented a new process of photosynthesis, which conserves carbon dioxide and water. Grasses are the most common plants that use that new form of photosynthesis, called C₄.

As forests and woodlands gave way to grasslands, browsers of trees evolved to become grazers of grass. Eventually, Earth hosted the spectacle of speedy predators that chased fleet-footed grazers. That biome was new in the journey of life on Earth. It was eventually dominated by bipedal apes with weaponry, which became the most successful predators in Earth’s history, and they began driving large animals to extinction, especially those of the grasslands.

What: Humans
Event: Bipedal apes flourished and conquered Earth
When: The conquest may have begun with the making of stone tools
Why: A likely series of positive feedbacks between growing brains, energy acquisition, and increasingly sophisticated tools
Importance: No other species ever dominated Earth like humanity has
Discussion: I made a recent post on the biggest events in the human journey, so there is no need to recapitulate them, and I have sketched the evolutionary path of primates that led to bipedal apes. Humans are the most successful predators in Earth’s history, due to their unprecedented intelligence and tools. Nothing on Earth could compete with that, and the most advanced tool users drove all other human species to extinction, leaving Homo sapiens alone on that evolutionary branch. But humans are at the stage where they might become too “successful” and make Earth uninhabitable. My life’s work has largely about avoiding that outcome and restoring Earth to something like paradise, as humanity will then live in an Epoch of unprecedented abundance.

As I finished that human-journey post with, time is short, and I have a plan.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

I was on the scientific path until age 16, when my first paranormal experiences ruined me as a scientist before my career began. Five years later, Brian O’Leary had his first paranormal experiences while performing the same exercise, which ruined his scientific career. We could no longer drink the Kool-Aid of materialism, which is the religion of the scientific establishment. Three years after my first paranormal experiences, a desperate prayer changed my studies from science to business. Eight years of idealism and disillusionment after that first time, I made another desperate prayer (for the last time in my life so far), which landed me in the middle of the odyssey of my lifetime. I lived it, and even I sometimes have a hard time believing that it all happened.

I can’t ignore the paranormal, as it changed my life’s direction, but it is also not a dominant aspect of my work. That stated, this post will summarize my posts that touch on the paranormal. As I reviewed my posts, very few were focused on paranormal phenomena. I only devoted one post to the near-death experience, which has been one of my most consistent areas of study, but my emphasis is more about my primary lesson from my paranormal experiences and spiritual studies: love is the energy of creation, we are all creators, not victims, and our purpose here is to find and express love in a dense and often-agonizing physical reality, which is no easy trick.

While I recently reviewed Michael Talbot’s The Holographic Universe in my forum, I only briefly mentioned it at Substack. I don’t want my Substack site to attract too many New Age types or drive away readers who are not into the paranormal very much. I don’t want to grind the paranormal/mystical ax. It has its place, but it is not the central feature of my work.

Brian thought that “spiritualists” would provide the ballast that a successful free-energy venture would need, and I will not deny that. I see a spiritual perspective as a necessary aspect of developing a comprehensive perspective, which is a key aspect of my work. Brian advocated scientific investigation of the paranormal, as I do. Organized religion is a racket, and my work does not deal with it much, other than to note that any religion worth imbibing has to be about love, first and foremost. Jesus’s “love the enemy” I consider to be the most enlightened message ever given to humanity.

I write about the limitations of materialistic science, and the shabby and often criminal efforts of the “skeptics” and debunkers, but again, not that much. Brian’s navigation of the fringes shortened his life, when he ran afoul of the spooks over the UFO issue. The spooks are far from materialists, and they have many accomplished dark pathers in their ranks, as the global elite do. Navigating the fringes is far from easy, and I have seen many people disappear into conspiracist rabbit holes and take other unproductive paths that could be life-wrecking and life-shortening. I do what I can to keep my readers safe from those dark alleys.

I don’t shy away from the ET issue, but it is also not a central aspect of my work, like it is Steven Greer’s. It is certainly a part of this milieu.

Most souls sleepwalk through their lives on Earth (1), learning through pain and the fires of karma. So far, hardly anybody on Earth has ever awakened past their indoctrination and conditioning, but my effort will only work with people who have or are trying to, mainly those disillusioned idealists that I write about. That is why I advocate a love and enlightenment approach to manifesting free-energy technology and the Fifth Epoch. The key is releasing judgment and embracing love. It may be the only approach that will work. When fear is banished in the Fifth Epoch and love reigns, I think that we will see a new kind of human. That is my work’s primary upshot.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

In my recent summary of posts on the paranormal, I sketched the seeming purpose of the human journey, which is really the same as the purpose of our universe, and even all of Creation: the evolution of consciousness. Humans are allegedly a sentient species, and sentience was a new level of the game for life on Earth. According to my understanding, consciousness is really all that there is, and physical reality is one way to explore and grow consciousness, from the smallest subatomic particle to the human brain to our universe itself. But physical reality is a tough school, and in the journey of life on Earth, what we call societies and communities came very early, such as bacterial mats. When animals appeared on the evolutionary scene, many species formed societies (plants also do), as societies enhanced the survival and reproductive prospects of their members. Societies have to have ways of keeping their members together, or else societies will not survive.

I’ll pick our closest evolutionary cousins, chimps and bonobos, to begin this discussion. A key activity in forming their social cohesion is grooming. It creates bonds, reflects status, and has a health function. Male chimps live for sex, and bonobo life is one big orgy. Bonobo females use sex for social bonding, they used their bonds to overthrow male dominance, and bonobo societies are vastly more peaceful than chimp societies, which have wars. When males run societies, it can become extremely violent, which is the same with humans and apes. The biological compulsion to survive and reproduce in a world of scarcity is the root of all violence. The only solution to violence is abundance.

When the human line experienced runaway brain growth, beginning over three million years ago, so-called “intelligence” also had an unprecedented leap in the human line. While many human behaviors have obvious roots in our ape heritage, we became toolmakers extraordinaire, and toolmaking was primarily directed toward enhanced energy capture and use, which meant food in the beginning. Language was invented early on, and scientists have hypothesized that gossip largely replaced grooming in human societies (it was energetically cheaper). Gossip is largely about identifying societal cheaters, and punishing cheaters is an ancient human practice. Cheaters threaten a society’s cohesion. Everything between chimps and Homo sapiens is extinct, so it has not been easy to reconstruct the behavior of those species. The closest thing to Homo sapiens that we know of were Neanderthals, and the trend in Neanderthal studies, and animal studies in general, is to attribute more intelligence to them than earlier scientists did. All preliterate human societies seemed to have stories about where they came from and legends about their ancestors, which had the function of enhancing societal cohesion.

I had a rough process of awakening (1, 2), with my years of idealism and disillusionment. As I learned that mass-murdering thieves had been presented to me while growing up as heroes, saints, and fathers of my nation, I found that nobody wanted to hear it. My fellow Americans were deluded and proud of it as they imbibed Western mythology, in an empire that pretends that it is not one, which has a peculiar political environment. Rituals such as Columbus Day celebrations took on new meaning for me as I performed my studies. I encountered others like me, disillusioned idealists, who had long, slow processes of awakening, but they were few and far between. Awakening in our world is not easy, and few ever accomplish it. I have seen mystical reasons for this that make sense, such as that most souls on Earth prefer to sleepwalk through their lives as creatures of their conditioning, and those souls learn the lessons that they came for through painful karma. It helped explain the addictions to beliefs that I constantly encountered, as people refused to awaken, even embracing certain death to avoid awakening. I had to witness it a few times before I began to understand.

I have written at length on the brainwashing function of the American media, which also applies to the West and the media in general. It could be argued that it helps with societal cohesion, for people to have the same shared delusions, but it also makes them easy to control, especially by elites. Genocide and propaganda go hand in hand. Wikipedia, for instance, is largely a propaganda organ for vested interests.

The dominant ideologies are all based on scarcity, and they all have their cheerleaders and attack dogs (1). Heretics still burn, and watching the outright lying by intellectuals has been a sobering experience, but it is just another example of my journey’s primary lesson. I watched the intellectual and ethical midgets attack giants such as Ed Herman, Noam Chomsky, and Howard Zinn, which was very educational. My pantheon is not that large. The Orwellian abuse of language that I have witnessed in the hack class was standard, and even the best intellectuals have their limits. Science and scholarship have their virtues and failings, like all human endeavors. What I call the Homo sapiens bias has badly marred the disciplines at times.

All of the world’s large industries and professions are rackets, and the sociology is similar for all of them. I have found that very few people on Earth really care about the truth. They only care about what feeds and protects them, and in a world of scarcity and fear, that is very understandable. Pursing the truth in today’s world is far from easy. It is virtually impossible for anything that contradicts establishment dogma to receive a fair hearing. The energy and medical rackets, for instance, sit on false theoretical foundations.

Two general approaches that I have seen have been structuralism and conspiracism. They are both lopsided in ways, and there is a strange schism between them. I have looked into many conspiratorial topics over the years, after I lived through some of them. Conspiracists generally have a tribal mentality and see those meddling elites as an out-group to be vanquished, while the structuralists generally deny that such elites exist. Neither perspective is productive, in my opinion.

As I see it, developing a comprehensive perspective is the key, but it is not easy. People have to first awaken and break free of the indoctrination and propaganda system, which few people do. They are in all aspects of our lives. I have called them the insidious assumptions of scarcity. But when people break out and begin navigating what I call the fringes, many rabbit holes to nowhere beckon. It is far from easy to productively navigate the fringes.

Humanity is on the brink of the biggest event in the human journey, but almost nobody on Earth can even imagine it. Understanding the Epochal significance of free energy is far from easy. The many hurdles to comprehension that I have seen have been about that ideological fixation that few overcome. People get stuck in beliefs that put their minds in straightjackets, and they cannot imagine any alternatives to the world that they see. So, the most important topic on Earth is forbidden in almost all circles, which is the global elite’s greatest victory.

Even when people get past that denial, they usually get stuck in their frames of reference, which lead to the paths of failure that I know so well. Brian O’Leary thought that only the “spiritualists” could see the big picture of what was happening and form the ballast of a successful effort. It can only be done by relinquishing judgment and embracing love. I have called what I am doing building the choir.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

For a private speaking engagement, I was asked to summarize my credentials in one page. I had to edit out some private information, but the rest is below.

• My first mentor was a Tesla-level inventor. He invented what a federal study concluded during the USA’s first Oil Crisis was the best engine in the world for powering an automobile. I got my dreams of changing the energy industry then, but I was only 15.
• I was raised to be a scientist, but a series of paranormal experiences (including a desperate prayer that was answered) changed my studies from science to business, and I became a CPA.
• A second desperate prayer, eight years of idealism and disillusionment later, landed me in the middle of the greatest attempt yet made to bring alternative energy to the marketplace, in my natal city of Seattle in 1986. The company put the world’s best heating system on people’s homes for free. It still is the world’s best, but it has been wiped out in North America.
• That Seattle company was wiped out and stolen by various vested interests, including the global elite. The company’s owner, Dennis Lee, left the state and tried to rebuild his effort in Boston. I followed him to Boston, became his partner, and we began to pursue what is called free energy.
• We soon encountered the global elite, both the “White Hat” and “Black Hat” factions. We were offered $10 million for our idea, in what I now know was the “friendly buyout offer.”
• We moved the company to my home town of Ventura, California, so that Dennis could work with my mentor (an agreement that I did not have knowledge of until I read it in one of Dennis’s books). My best professor also became my partner. My mentor soon proposed to marry his engine with Dennis’s heating system to make free energy, just when a national ad campaign began taking off, and we became an alternative-energy mecca for few months before we were raided. During the raid in January, 1988, the Ventura County’s sheriff’s deputies stole all of our technical material from our head researcher’s office. He was never the same after that. The raid began my life’s worst year.
• In the spring of 1988, the CIA offered Dennis $1 billion to fold our operation (which I also only learned of through Dennis’s book), and when Dennis refused, he was arrested a few weeks later with a $1 million bail. The prosecution threatened our head researcher and drove him into hiding, leaving me as the key defense witness. My life’s turning point was my day on the witness stand in Kangaroo Court, when the prosecution tried to intimidate me as I testified. They tried it on the wrong man. The year 1988 ended with Dennis in solitary confinement (for trying to throw a Christmas party for his inmates), our researcher in hiding, and me bankrupt and driving to a medical lab in LA for my new job, which another government/media alliance soon tried to put out of business.
• In January 1989, after reading his book, I met a former policeman who was fighting the same corrupt officials who had Dennis incarcerated, and his advice helped me and my professor spring Dennis from jail two months later, in the greatest miracle that I ever saw. But Dennis was still kangarooed into prison (even with an attorney that my money hired, who was the USA’s leading Constitutionalist attorney, who specialized in fighting corrupt officials, but was nearly disbarred), and the officials tried to get Dennis murdered by the inmates, which nearly worked. Many lives were shattered and some were shortened, including my professor’s, for the greatest sorrow of my journey.
• That policeman was Audie Murphy’s close friend, and three weeks after the JFK assassination, they heard from a frightened Senator John Tower that Lee Harvey Oswald was a military-intelligence operative who was in backfired CIA operation that killed JFK. That operation was inadvertently confirmed many years later by declassified documents (and a decade after that policeman’s book was published), as the Pentagon had a nearly identical operation at the same time (to frame Castro, to justify an invasion of Cuba).
• I have spent most of my “spare” time since 1989 in study, to see why the world worked so differently from how I was taught that it did. My writings are comprehensive, like Bucky Fuller’s.
• I am considered an authority on many topics, and I am the biographer of Ed Herman (Noam Chomsky’s most prominent co-author) and Brian O’Leary (the most controversial astronaut). People close to me know that free-energy, antigravity, and other technologies are on the planet today, as demonstrated to them by the “White Hat” faction of the global elite and others.
• I did a recent interview with some Green Party activists and plan to do more interviews, as I mount a free-energy effort, based on an approach that I have not seen tried before: the love and enlightenment approach to manifesting the biggest event in the human journey.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

As I discussed in my recent interview with a Green Party candidate for president and his colleagues, the sitting American president is far down the hierarchy of power on Earth. In the big picture, I doubt that who the president is matters very much. What I call retail politics is a farce. That stated, American politics has been quite a spectacle during the past decade. In 2015, it looked like we would have the nauseating “choice” between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, until the highly improbable Trump victory in 2016, and his 2024 victory was also a surprise. After he survived the assassination attempt, I figured that the presidency was his.

I have written about Trump’s second presidency since it began, and will likely continue to. As I have written, I was raised Democrat and have not voted Republican in my life, and those around me either praise Trump 2.0 or are revolted, and I hear about it daily in my circles. Sam Hussein’s VotePact is an attempt to break out of the duopoly straightjacket of American politics. In what I call the Fifth Epoch, nations and politicians will cease to exist, and nobody will miss them. With that preamble, here is a summary of my posts on Trump 2.0.

My first post was on the JFK and MLK assassinations and the coming declassified documents, and I commented after they were released. My bottom line on that is that the American presidency was permanently demoted with JFK’s assassination, and all presidents since then were puppets and knew it. Trump stated that he always believed that Oswald did it, which reflects either staggering ignorance or an attempt at self-preservation.

Trump 2.0 began with an unprecedented flurry of executive orders, and that Trump had to make orders on enforcing the First Amendment and ending the trans craze was a damning indictment of Biden’s administration. That Trump had to become the voice of reason on those issues showed how far off the deep end the Democrats had gone, which is partly why Trump won.

Trump’s foreign policy stance (America First) is a more naked imperialism than Democratic fictions about human rights and humanitarian interventions. While Trump may have avoided nuclear war over Ukraine, he may spark it in the Middle East, and his support for the genocide in Gaza is agonizing. Whenever I see our imperial forays and the media’s treatment of them, I wonder what Ed Herman would have had to say. In Trump’s first presidency, when he said that the USA was in Syria for its oil, Bashar Assad said that Trump was the best president ever for such candor.

When RFK, Jr., joined the Trump 2.0 campaign, I hardly dared to hope that Trump would nominate him to head the USA’s medical bureaucracy. I have written what I hope that Kennedy accomplishes, and the Democrats fought his nomination tooth and nail. It was a disgusting spectacle. We’ll see what kind of dent Kennedy can make. The medical racket will not go quietly.

Trump has been for nuclear disarmament since the 1980s, and we will see if he makes any headway on that issue.

It was really something to see the reactions around the dismantlement of USAID, which was an imperial tool nearly from the beginning. In the mainstream, I don’t think that I saw one honest discussion of what USAID was and did.

Trump’s open ambition to add Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal to the USA’s larder makes sense if seen in an attempt to build a North American technocracy. When I see behaviors like that, they slightly resemble the Fifth Epoch, but obviously fall far short.

I commented on Musk, DOGE, and related topics. It was strange in ways, but in others I understood the motivation behind it.

As Sam stated, Trump can contradict himself within a minute after making a statement, but the media also lies about him incessantly. All of those gyrations can make the spectacle even more grotesque. That this is playing out on the world stage is rather embarrassing, as an American. We’ll see how this rollercoaster turns out.

I have seen more truth come from Kennedy than I ever saw from any other medical bureaucrat. The media’s lies around Kennedy’s positions have been amazing to witness, and it takes a lot to surprise me.

Trump’s tariffs are part of an understandable effort to bring manufacturing back to the USA, and I see Wall Street types call what is happening the return of crony capitalism. Capitalism is already cronier than almost anybody can imagine. We’ll see how that works, but the standard blue-collars jobs will never come back. AI robotics will outperform any human before long.

As with my other summary posts, I will update this periodically with more Trump 2.0 posts.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

In the beginning, and all that oil

I have a long and complicated relationship to the Israel issue (1). I am a comprehensivist, and I try to take a holistic view of all subjects that I write about. For me, understanding the Middle East goes back to when the Tethys Ocean existed. Most of Earth’s oil that is burned today formed on the Tethys’s shores. The Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean, Black, Caspian, and Aral seas are the Tethys’s final remnants, and that is why that region is so oil-rich. That final closure of the Tethys began when Africa and its attached Arabian Peninsula collided with Eurasia, beginning about 24 million years ago. Eurasian animals then invaded Africa and dominated, but Africa had two big winners: the elephant family and apes, which are the most successful mammals ever.

The Arabian Peninsula became the primary corridor between Africa and Eurasia. When Neanderthals still roamed Earth, they likely encountered Homo sapiens on the Arabian Peninsula. It may not have been friendly, which could have hampered the migrations of Homo sapiens past Africa. No Neanderthal remains have ever been found in Africa, and I suspect that it was due to territoriality. Homo sapiens conquered Earth via the Arabian Peninsula.

The earliest moves toward plant domestication happened in the Fertile Crescent, today’s Israel and Palestine are on the edge of that, and Jericho is the earliest known walled city. Nearly every square inch of inhabitable Earth has been the scene of violent conflict as humans conquered and slaughtered each other, and the Levant has been no exception. Today’s Palestinians have lived in the region that the Romans named Palestine for more than three thousand years. My ancestors invaded North America only a few centuries ago, so I have a difficult time comprehending cultures that have ties to lands that span millennia.

The Jewish people were repeatedly conquered and dispersed, similar to the Phoenicians, who were close cousins of ancient Israelites. Carthage was the last Phoenician remnant before Rome destroyed it, and Rome later destroyed the last Jewish resistance in what Rome named Palestine. Jews have had a long, rough ride, which culminated in the Nazi Holocaust. If not for their oppression and eventual genocidal treatment in Europe and vicinity, Israel would not exist. Zionism began in the 1800s as a response to European anti-Semitism.

If not for all of that Middle East oil, which is history’s greatest material prize, the West would not have meddled there much for the past century and more. As Bucky Fuller said, if oil was priced at the benefit that humanity derived from it, it would cost a million dollars a barrel. It has been amazing how virtually all Western pundits could discuss why the West invaded Iraq without ever mentioning oil, as the elephant in the room is studiously ignored. This is not new.

The Gaza genocide

Any attempt at understanding Middle East politics has to make oil front-and-center, and that includes the current genocide in Gaza. Today, Gaza resembles Hiroshima after the USA nuked it. It has been heartbreaking to witness.

Biden’s State Department dragged Sam Husseini from a press conference for daring to ask questions about the Gaza genocide, and they even gave Sam a concussion. Sam has been tirelessly trying to help end the genocide in Gaza. The polio-vaccine campaign in the midst of the genocide was bizarre. Ed Herman would not have been silent, nor would have Noam Chomsky. They would have taken on the propaganda that abets the genocide. The dance of Trump and Israel has also been horrifying (1, 2, 3), as well as their joint bombing of Iran, as we waltz toward World War III.

That stated, Israel is also performing another task that the West has excelled at for several centuries: settler colonialism. That is part of my heritage, too, as my ancestors benefitted from history’s greatest crime: the invasion and “settlement” of the Western Hemisphere by Europeans. It was part of Europe’s conquest of the world. Hitler was inspired by the Anglo-American experience in North America, of exterminating the natives and “settling” their land. Most European Jews were exterminated by the Nazis, especially Eastern Europe’s. The Zionist project has been doing the same thing to Palestinians since 1948. In another World War II analogy, today Gaza resembles the Nazi project in that the Nazis gradually moved to extermination. Today, Israel is engaging in outright extermination of Gaza’s residents. Ralph Nader recently estimated a half million Gazan deaths, which all sides in the conflict are minimizing. Israel’s Jews are reproducing what happened to their ancestors, while they are fully supported by the West.

The murder of John F. Kennedy

Gary Wean gave me the advice that led to my springing my partner from jail, in the greatest miracle that I ever witnessed. Gary’s job as an LAPD cop included putting the Jewish mobster Mickey Cohen under surveillance. That led to Gary’s encounters with Jack Ruby in 1946-1967, which included a conversation with Ruby. Ruby was a high-ranking mobster, not the small-time nightclub owner that the Warren Commission portrayed him as. Gary also repeatedly saw Menachem Begin in Cohen’s company, and Gary was there when JFK was introduced to Marilyn Monroe, in what was likely an influence-peddling-and-blackmail scheme, which Cohen specialized in. It would not surprise me at all if Jeffrey Epstein was involved in a similar effort. Gary overheard Cohen and Begin obsess over JFK’s policies as president. Cohen even “donated” a warship to early Israel, and Gary watched them shake down LA’s Jewish community to finance Israel.

But that is all small stuff compared to what Gary learned in December 1963 from Senator John Tower: Lee Harvey Oswald did not murder JFK. Oswald was a military-intelligence operative whom E. Howard Hunt recruited into a CIA operation that was intended to frame Fidel Castro for an assassination attempt on JFK, in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. Gary first documented that story in his 1987 book, while hiding Tower’s identity. In Gary’s 1996 edition of his book, he named the then-deceased Tower, who died in an aircraft incident, just like Gary’s close friend Audie Murphy did, who also attended that 1963 meeting with Tower. In 1997, Operation Northwoods was declassified, in which the Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed 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 and was revived in early 1963, at the same time that Hunt recruited Oswald into his fake-assassination-attempt operation. JFK was unaware of both operations. In my opinion, Gary’s account of the Tower conversation should have become the leading hypothesis on JFK’s murder when Northwoods was declassified, but it is largely ignored even today, when today’s leading hypotheses revolve around Hunt, Oswald, the CIA, and Cuba. Those investigators and pundits who ignore and dismiss Gary’s testimony on the Tower conversation (on the flimsiest of pretexts) are just like those pundits to who can discuss the USA’s invasion of Iraq without ever mentioning oil.

Gary, being a policeman and detective, tried his hand at solving the crime. Tower gave him documentary evidence to support his story, and Gary seems to have revealed some of it late in his life. Gary was the originator of the “Israel did it” hypothesis of JFK’s murder. When Gary published his book in 1987, he visited Washington, D.C., and gave Michael Collins Piper the idea for his book on the JFK assassination, which presented the case that Israel was behind JFK’s murder. I was kind of in the middle of that controversy at one point. The Cohen/Ruby/Begin connection alone gives Israeli involvement in the JFK hit plausibility, and I won’t deny that Israel may have been involved. Israel was certainly a beneficiary of the JFK hit, and no American president really tried to trim Israel’s feathers since JFK. Israel has had pretty much unconditional support from the USA since the Six-Day War. Lyndon Johnson even helped cover up the killings of dozens of Americans by Israel during that war.

While Israel may have been involved, plenty of domestic interests wanted JFK dead, and my money is on the Eastern Oligarchy and military-industrial complex. My lesson from the JFK hit is that with his murder, the American presidency was permanently demoted. If the sitting president could be murdered in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses and it was all covered up, how much power could the president really have? I see what happened as the modern equivalent of the Praetorian Guard’s taking out an emperor (they killed 13 emperors). I am relatively uninterested in who did it.

Imperial outpost or the tail that wags the imperial dog?

Among the left, there is lively debate on whether Israel is the West’s imperial outpost in the Middle East or whether Israel is the tail that wags the imperial dog. But any analysis that ignores Middle East oil will fail to deal with the West’s motivation for being there in the first place. It will always be all about the oil while the West depends on that oil.

I favor imperial outpost, as long as the West relies on Middle East oil, but Israel definitely has an outsized influence in the American government, and Israel has definitely tried to wag the dog. But far higher powers run the world today than national governments do.

From Substack:

I was raised to be a scientist, until a series of paranormal experiences (1, 2) changed my studies from science to business. Eight years of idealism and disillusionment later, another paranormal experience landed me on the energy industry’s leading edge. We had the world’s best heating system and the world’s best engine for powering an automobile in our stable of technologies when we were wiped out.

I survived those three years of adventures because of my youth, idealism, and spiritual training. As I began recovering from that odyssey, I resumed my science studies, but generally on the fringes. A dozen years later, after one of Bucky Fuller’s pupils called me a comprehensivist and I did not know what he was referring to, I resumed my scientific studies in earnest, but it was generally popularized science, which is adequate for what I am doing. I have approached science with a radicalized, comprehensive perspective, and I have had plenty to say about the process and state of science. All branches of science have been corrupted, to one degree or another, like everything else, and biomedical science is considered the flimsiest and most corrupt branch of science, even by science‘s defenders.

I also studied scholarship, and it suffered from many of the same problems that science did, of conflicts of interest and ideological fixation (1) that have badly marred the discipline. In Noam Chomsky’s political coming-out essay, he wrote of the responsibility of intellectuals to challenge ruling-class deceits, but his subsequent political writings have often shown their failures to do so, and his writing partner Ed Herman did even more on that issue and how the media operates.

This post will summarize my many posts that deal with science and scholarship. In 1991, I met the former astronaut, Ivy League professor, and political activist Brian O’Leary. I was taking Brian to give a speech to a new-science organization on the need for a new science. That was the same conference where I discovered that a corporate hit man had belonged to that organization, as he helped maintain elite control over humanity. Five years after I had my first paranormal experience, which ruined me as a mainstream scientist before my career ever began, Brian had a similar experience while performing the same exercise. Until then, he smugly drank the Kool-Aid of materialism, which is the religion of mainstream scientists. It also ruined Brian as a mainstream scientist and he began exploring the fringes. Within five minutes of meeting Brian, we were discussing Sparky Sweet and free energy. Brian was an advocate of scientific investigation of the paranormal. The year after I met Brian, he hosted a UFO conference and nearly died immediately afterward, after rejecting an “offer” from the American military to join classified UFO projects. The incident shortened his life, and the closest that he came to publicly disclosing it was in his last book.

Less than five years after I met Brian, he published his first free energy book, and I became his biggest fan. In it, he described what he called the Suppression Syndrome, and his first category of suppressing scientific discoveries was the scientists themselves, as they protected the paradigms that they were indoctrinated into and that fed them. Free energy is a key area of that scientific denial. After Brian published his first free-energy book, he became the Paul Revere of Free Energy, riding the world, and he approached the tops of the world’s leading academic, scientific, and “progressive” institutions. After five years of riding, Brian and I had an epic note-trading session. I asked him how his ride went, and he gave me a brief litany of the reactions that he received, which were nearly all crazed reactions of denial and fear. Their objections were weak at best. Brian then openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species, and I sadly understood. Mainstream scientists can be quite obtuse when the subject of free energy is broached. The technologies that people close to me observed (1) would upend orthodox physics.

Unfortunately, the free-energy field itself is stuck in a state of arrested development, focused on scientists and inventors, when they are only a small piece of the puzzle. I have traced the connections between free-energy physics, free-energy inventors, mainstream science, and the global elite.

With that kind of experience under my belt, I began exploring science and scholarship. Today’s science has great promise and great limitations, with amazing blind spots. All dominant ideologies are based on scarcity, and mainstream science has not escaped that trap. All dominant ideologies have their cheerleaders and attack dogs (1). The heretics still burn. Ideally, science and scholarship pursue the truth, but reality always falls short of the ideal, and the failures can be spectacular in science and scholarship. Pursuing the truth is far from easy in today’s world, and escaping orthodox assumptions is a key to learning to think comprehensively. Not many have accomplished it.

Even the best intellectuals have difficulty escaping the ideological straightjackets of our times. The worst of them lie incessantly and engage in criminal activity. Their Orwellian abuse of language is part of it.

I have written at great length on fraudulent biomedical research and the worthless, deadly, and lucrative interventions of Western medicine. The foundations of Western medicine can be surprisingly flimsy and the dynamics of its corruption are obvious. Western medicine is a racket, but I found that the sociologies of all of the rackets are similar.

My writings can delve into a great deal of detail on the topics that I have investigated. My generalizations are based on deep study, and I will provide more examples. The West has a great deal of mythology that its ideologies are based on, but which most people accept as truth, mainly because they were fed it while young. For instance, the USA is an empire that pretends that it is not one, and that mythology largely only fools Americans.

I have long picked a bone with scientists who argued that humans were peaceful before the rise of agriculture and civilization and that Homo sapiens had little or nothing to do with the extinctions of the world’s megafauna and our fellow human species. That peaceful pre-agricultural or pre-civilized human past was a dogma in anthropology for most of the 20^th century, but the weight of evidence has finally shown that position to be wishful thinking. The prehistoric human past was extremely brutal. There has even been a strange nostalgia for the lives of medieval peasants in recent years. Hobbes won that fictional debate with Rousseau. That romanticization of the human past has served to obscure real human progress in a reduction of violence over the Epochs and how much more humane societies have become over the human journey, especially since industrialization. Similarly, there has been a cottage industry in science and academia that denied that humans drove the megafauna to extinction, as they invoked climate change, bolide events, and others that I came to call the “Anything but Homo sapiens” hypotheses, as they defended prehistoric humans. Again, the weight of evidence has finally revealed those voices to be grasping at straws. The USA’s “settler” past has been similarly romanticized. This kind of behavior seems to be a human universal, of defending one’s in-group (or its ancestors) to the end, no matter what the crimes were.

Another area where I have weighed in repeatedly is on the subject of atmospheric gases and Global Warming (AKA Climate Change). The mechanics of how greenhouse gases trap infrared radiation and warm Earth were not controversial in the least until Global Warming began to alarm climate scientists in the 1980s. The mechanics of Global Warming are not difficult to understand. Then a hydrocarbon-industry shill named Fred Singer, who was already notorious for helping cover up acid-rain damage, began challenging the idea of Global Warming in the 1990s, which sparked the “debate” that still exists. I have found that only the scientifically illiterate, shill scientists like Singer, and those grinding a political ax (primarily right wingers) deny that Global Warming is a real or manmade or dangerous phenomenon. I live with the reality daily. It is 84 degrees in my office at home as a write this in the Seattle area, and today it won’t quite reach 90 like it did yesterday, but such days have become common in recent summers. When I moved here in 1997, we might have gotten one such day in a summer, but this summer has seen several 90-degree days, and I thought we got off easy this summer. Recent summers were far worse, with weeks of unbroken 80-and-90-degree days. Of the 12 years since 2013, eight have been in the top-ten years of 80-degree days, and eight have been in the top-12 90-degree days since consistent recordkeeping began in 1894. And that is trivial compared to what happened in 2021, with shattered records, as if Seattle became Phoenix.

The biggest risk to humanity that I see from Global Warming is epic crop failures in which billions of people die, which could trigger a nuclear war. To accept Global Warming is not to support the “solutions” by elites such as Bill Gates. It seems that the scientifically illiterate deniers of Global Warming are partly reacting to people such as Bill Gates, but denying elite solutions is not the same as denying reality.

Another issue that I have weighed on in recent years has been the trans craze. I see it as the normalization of mental illness and another windfall for the medical racket. It is really simple: mammals cannot change their sexes. Sex in mammals is determined at conception, and while there are genetic anomalies in humans that can blur the line (and such people are usually sterile, so they will not give rise to a new kind of human), that is not what the trans craze is about. The trans craze is an attempt to defeat biological reality with ideology, vocabulary, and medical procedures. To “transition” minors with “affirmative care” is a medical atrocity that will take its place with lobotomies and eugenics in the grim annals of Western medicine.

I have written at length on what I have learned in my lifetime so far, and the learning never ends. In what I call the Fifth Epoch, seeking the truth will take on new relevance and science will bear only a faint resemblance to today’s version of it. All dogmatic ideologies will die their deserved deaths, as controlling what people think will no longer be important.

Best,

Wade

From Substack:

I have not made a series of posts like this before at Substack, and rarely will. My posts generally deal with worldly events, and when I deal with global elites, it is generally with the basic mechanics of their reign, on the material end of events. But I am a comprehensivist, and that also means not being limited by materialism, which can hamper our understanding of reality. As I have long stated, people should have their own paranormal experiences, first, before they begin to explore these areas. Also, there are hazards for the incautious. This will be a wide-ranging series of posts.

Christopher Boehm hypothesized that during the hunter-gatherer phase of the human journey, psychopathic genes were largely culled from humanity’s gene pool. The vast majority of today’s psychopaths are male, and men commit about 90% of humanity’s murders. Watching male chimps vie for status likely gives a glimpse into our ancient past. Chimp societies are hundreds of times more aggressive and violent than the most violent human societies. Male strength means a male near-monopoly of violence, but a heartening example is bonobos. When some chimps found themselves isolated south of the Congo River and did not have gorilla competition, that relative abundance allowed for large, stable foraging parties, and females banded together and ended male dominance. Bonobos are uniquely peaceful among great apes, and females keep the males in line. As Azar Gat stated, the biological compulsion to survive and reproduce in a world of scarcity is the root all violence.

Even if hunter-gatherer bands culled psychopathic genes from humanity’s gene pool, hunter-gatherer life was still a grim affair to modern sensibilities. Parents regularly killed their children because they could not afford to feed them (at least 10% and perhaps a quarter or more of hunter-gatherer infants died that way). Infanticide is standard primate behavior, although it has yet to be observed in bonobos. In hunter-gatherer societies that were more dependent on hunting, such as Arctic societies, female infanticide could be so extreme that there were twice as many boys as girls. That meant a shortage of women, so such societies raided neighboring societies, slaughtered their men, and stole their women. That was one way to address the imbalance, and scientists today suggest that such bloodshed had the inadvertent outcome of keeping the population within the land’s carrying capacity.

I have dealt at length with the human conquest of Earth, in which all of the easy meat was driven to extinction, as well as all other human species. There has been an effort among generations of scientists to deny humanity’s bloody past, which is finally waning in light of the mounting evidence. Keith Otterbein argued that plant domestication could have only begun where hunting had declined, as the megafauna were hunted to extinction. Otherwise, incipient farmers were easy prey to hungry hunters and their weaponry. Otterbein argued that all pristine civilizations arose relatively peacefully.

Civilization provided many benefits, and the chief one was the rise of professions, as professionals were relieved of subsistence duties and became civilization’s innovators. But what also came with civilization was the rise of a new, parasitic class that violently conquered early civilizations, skimmed off a disproportionate share of civilization’s benefits, and that is how the first elites appeared. All early elites claimed divine status or sanction, in a charade that can still be seen today. I have studied the rise and fall of agrarian empires too much, and it could become numbing to read of palace machinations, as relatives slaughtered each other in order to sit on the coveted thrones. It was the rare agrarian potentate who lived a long and peaceful reign and died of natural causes. My sense is that when Europe began conquering the world, elites could begin to think in global terms for the first time, and that was the beginning of the rise of global elites. They also took the power-behind-the-throne idea to new levels, so that today, almost none of the elites that run the world today are known to the public. The world’s politicians do not make the important decisions on Earth. People such as Elon Musk and Bill Gates I call members of the retail elite, and they also are nowhere near the top of the global power structure.

The stories that I have heard of global-elite behaviors, by people who would know, could be horrifying and seem like new horizons in psychopathy. There is also plenty of tabloid-level speculation on these matters, so I try to only go with what I consider pretty conservative stories that I heard from the participants more than once. For instance, in my recent interview, I discussed the threats to the wealthy, of murdering their families by dawn if they did not comply. I have heard that repeatedly. Those threats were to discourage their participation in alternative energy and related fields. I first heard it in the 1980s, and I heard an identical story a couple of years ago, second-hand from a billionaire.

I have also heard tales of when the threatened actions were carried out, such as a family’s being murdered in their home, which was then set on fire and bulldozed. The “set on fire and bulldozed” tactic I have also heard more than once, and once from one of the people that it happened to. The day after I published my summary post on Israel and Palestine, Israel double-tapped a hospital in Gaza, which is up there on the atrocity scale, as Israel exterminates Gazans. Global elites do not need to be overly vilified, as they are only masters of a game that most of humanity plays, of making self-service the top priority, which is understandable in a world of scarcity and fear. Making self-service into a science is an achievement of the global elite in general, and there are dimensions of this that go beyond physical-plane issues, which I will explore soon.

From Substack:

In Steven Greer’s recent movie, he discussed the problems with inventors and the methods of organized suppression, but he went very light on the rest of us. The biggest obstacle, by far, is an indifferent, somnolent, and easily manipulated public. When I saw my fellow employees cheer the theft of Dennis Lee’s company, which my boss helped engineer, it was my first big awakening moment during my journey with Dennis. The low integrity of the general population is the main reason why we are in this predicament. It was my journey’s primary lesson, but almost nobody wants to hear it. I have seen mystical reasons that seem to explain why the world is dominated by sleepwalkers.

Our social systems have perverse incentives, too, which help explain why the suppression of free energy is 1% conspiracy and 99% complicity, and this post will summarize the situations that I encountered on my journey. The first time that I was exposed to the complicity of the masses was when my family changed its diet from processed food to whole food when I was 12, to save my father’s health, which resulted in a health miracle. I soon discovered that nobody wanted to hear it. People were addicted to the pleasures of their diets and did not want to hear about how their diets were unhealthy, even when they knew that their diets were killing them. I watched people embrace certain death rather than change, and I had to witness it a few times before I began to understand.

When I had my first paranormal experiences, I did not know it yet, but they ruined me as a mainstream scientist before my career even began. Three years later, my first existential crisis led to a desperate prayer that was answered, and I changed my studies from science to business. Thus began eight years of idealism and disillusionment before my second and so far last desperate prayer was answered. A key moment in those years was discovering that a close relative was a part-time spook who worked for Henry Kissinger, when Kissinger had no official role with the American government. My relative’s spook life ruined him, and he drank himself to death. Unless people are psychopaths, their consciences tend to bother them after murdering people, which my relative did as part of his job. It was my first inkling of the hit men and women that I would encounter on my journey with Dennis.

The first one that I saw was Betsy. She was more of a sociopath than a psychopath, and when her nose was rubbed in her crimes, she quit her job with the Attorney General’s office and taught law school. But even though she was the most virtuous of those sicced on Dennis’s companies, she could not help herself and was eventually disbarred for looting her client’s bank account. When she quit the Attorney General’s office, she was replaced by a woman whom I saw lie about Dennis for years. She is a noted “consumer advocate” who is a “philanthropist” today (here is an example of her many lies about Dennis). A couple of weeks after meeting Dennis, I saw a “consumer advocate” reporter tell what I later learned was an outrageous lie about Dennis’s company, and she eventually became a news anchor and had a long, successful career. It was my first brush with the idea that the media might not pursue the truth.

A month or so later, Dennis told me about how Bill Delp had driven one of his employees to suicide. Bill was definitely a psychopath who was hired to take out Dennis’s company, allied with Betsy, in what I call an inside-outside job. About a month after that, my boss helped engineer the theft of Dennis’s company on behalf of Mormon grifters. My boss became the new president, and I saw several groups fight over the carcass of Dennis’s company. In retrospect, it was my first indication that the global elite had become involved in wiping out our efforts.

Soon after I became Dennis’s partner in Boston, we were contacted by the global elite, both its “White Hat” and “Black Hat” factions. The White Hats gave Dennis anonymous calls of encouragement, while the Black Hats tried to buy us out, for $10 million initially. When I became Dennis’s partner, he saw me as his protégé, and I heard the story of his life. He should be dead dozens of times over. He survived several hit attempts by mobsters, was in combat in Vietnam, was nearly murdered in prison, and he had other brushes with death, including hospital negligence.

Then my mentor had Dennis relocate our company to my home town of Ventura, California, just before officials in Massachusetts could strike. But Dennis also had an audience with New England’s most powerful electric company executive. Soon after we arrived in Ventura, Dennis found a national ad campaign that worked, and money began pouring in. We became a mecca for a time, and people came to our offices to tell horrifying stories of what happened when they crossed the elites (1, 2), and some was likely global elites. Then we got raided and taken out several months later, after Dennis rejected a billion-dollar offer from the CIA to fold our operation (a definite offer from the global elite). Dennis was soon arrested with a million-dollar bail. My life’s pivotal moment was my day on the witness stand, as the prosecution tried to intimidate me as I testified. It inspired me to bust Dennis out of jail, in the biggest miracle that I ever saw. Promotions were handed all around for the people who got their hands bloody in taking us out.

In Ventura, as with Seattle, an inside-outside job was performed on us by corrupt officials that allied with another Mormon grifter named Ken Hodgell. Ken was a contract agent like Bill was. Ken pulled off one too many scams and spent about 15 years in prison. Many years after Ken helped collapse our company after Dennis was arrested, one of my “Isn’t that interesting?” moments was when Greer stated that the Mormon Financial Empire was the ringleader of the global elite. I have to give Mr. Engineer credit for admitting that he and Mr. Researcher were “saps” for signing on with Ken’s play. Mr. Researcher scoffed at my warnings when Ken made his play. Mr. Deputy looked and acted like a Boy Scout until my day on the witness stand, and Ken looked and acted like Mr. Rogers, until it came time to steal our company.

The big surprise of those years was not that there was a global elite that took us out, but how nearly everybody eagerly helped them, wittingly or not. From our thieving business partners and employees to local, state, and eventually national officials, everybody lined up to get their piece of us. One official even admitted to us that he did not care if Dennis was innocent or not, and he admitted to lying as much as he needed to in order to get his coveted conviction. The same year that he made that admission, he became the first president of the Southern California Fraud Investigators’ Association. I could not make that up if I tried.

Our systems are corrupt and criminal, from top-to-bottom and end-to-end. To blame all what happened on the global elite is simplistic, naïve, and foolish. That is where I learned my 1% conspiracy and 99% complicity lesson on how organized suppression (1) works. Dennis eventually admitted that his allies hurt him more than his enemies did.

When I moved away from Ventura (and I have not been back) and began my days of study, I not only began to encounter others like me (disillusioned idealists), but I began to see explanations for what I experienced that were similar to what I discovered during my adventures.

On the disillusioned-idealist front, I soon encountered Ralph McGehee’s CIA memoirs, which chronicled his long path of awakening that climaxed in his hotel room in Saigon in 1968. Ralph spent his last years at the CIA, quietly biding his time, studying the CIA’s archives, in preparation for writing his book. Ralph was an anomaly. Many other colleagues kind of figured out what the CIA was about, and like Ralph, they were trapped in their careers, so the halls at Langley were filled with zombies, shuffling through the halls, drinking themselves into a stupor each evening, and counting their days to an early retirement. CIA employees who woke up and spoke out could literally be counted on one hand until the 21^st century. There are a few more today, but only a few.

For a secular explanation for what I discovered, Ed Herman’s Propaganda Model was perhaps the best that I saw. It was a structural model that did not rely on a vast conspiracy to explain the media’s incessant lying. Ed argued that a confluence of elite interests exerted their influence over the media, so that people who just did their jobs unconsciously bowed to the dictates of those influences to produce propaganda instead of news that would productively inform the public about how the world really worked. Ed did not deny that elites could directly intervene in the news process, but Ed argued that they rarely needed to, as the media machine chugged along on its own to serve elite interests. Ed’s coauthor Noam Chomsky said that our systems of indoctrination and control operate subtly, and people who think independently are weeded out of the system, beginning in kindergarten, so that those who rise to levels of responsibility do not need to be told what to do. Those New York Times journalists who parrot the lies actually believe them. Even though the media is one of the seven cartels that run the world economy, there is relatively little conspiratorial behavior happening.

I saw these kinds of lies and behaviors in the free-energy community, too. Dennis’s chief libeler in the free-energy community was lionized and I have been presented his lying article (that is his claim to fame) at least a dozen times and lauded by people who should have known better. The naïveté and lack of discernment could be stunning.

When I published my first website in 1996, I came into contact with a “skeptic” who was just beginning his “skeptical” career. I am about half convinced that he was being compensated for his “skepticism.” His initial 15 minutes of fame was his lying article in the house organ of organized skepticism. When I publicly exposed his lies, he would make up new ones. He stalked me on the Internet for more than a decade, heaving his disinformation bombs at me wherever I engaged the public. He folded his tents right after Dennis was banned from the American energy industry. I saw him get a round of applause at YouTube. He tried to contact me earlier this year. He is definitely persistent, and it is more psychologically interesting if his obsession was to meet twisted ego needs rather than just doing a dirty job, like Bill Delp did.

I have written that for the size of the human herd, the job of the global elite is surprisingly easy, as the masses do nearly all of their dirty work, gratis, as they enslave themselves. As with Ed’s propaganda model, the global elite rarely have to directly intervene. Dennis had to survive his business partners, mobsters, and local interests before the global elite got involved.

What comes next will be my more comprehensive view on the issue of global elites, which includes mystical aspects, and how to overcome the organized suppression and humanity’s inertia to manifest the biggest event in the human journey, so that a world of abundance and love reigns instead of our world of scarcity and fear.
