WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Before I go hiking, a few odds and ends, and a little sermon.

As I have been writing since early this year, another financial storm is coming, bigger than the last one, as the world tries to drink itself sober. Lowering interest rates to zero and printing money with abandon only steals from one class to the benefit another, and you can guess who the primary beneficiaries are. It is never the world's poor. Along with energy debt is emerging market debt. Taken together, this quick math by Jim Rickards shows what we are looking at:

$9 trillion emerging market debt + $5.4 trillion energy debt = $14.4 trillion. A 20% mark-down (due to oil price and strong U.S. dollar) = $2.9 trillion losses = two times subprime losses in 2007.

So, we are looking at twice the size of the crisis in 2008-2009, and almost nothing has been done to try to reform the system, as the authors of the last crisis all got bailed out and are even bigger today. The fifth financial crisis/scandal of my lifetime is nearly here. Since oil was the epicenter of the first three, and in the fourth one, the USA was in the midst of committing an oil-control genocide in the Middle East, that oil is the Black Swan precipitating this one is appropriate, and who knows what kind of fireworks will accompany this one, with the USA's prodigious bellicosity? I would not think that the USA will mount another full-scale invasion of other nations soon, but I could be wrong. We love our wars.

As I have stated for many years, if somebody did their homework, my pedigree and role in my adventures would be even larger than is presented on my site, and one day, I may be able to tell it all. But as I ponder the body of work that comprises my site today, I think those other revelations would only largely make it clearer why I think like I do. I will likely still reveal a lot more after some more people die (if I outlive them ), but with the completion of my big essay and the re-edit of my site to align it with my essay, I no longer feel that it would really be all that important, as far as getting across my message. And here comes the sermon.

When I was with Dennis, one of his statements regarding our efforts was that we were not asking the permission of TPTB to make our effort. Who put them in charge, and why should they really have any say? I still feel that way.

When I get Level 5 fears from people, they can come in many guises, and one variation is to veil it in a "mother-may-I?" mentality," in which we are supposed to ask TPTB if FE is a good idea and could we please be allowed to do it. As I hope that I have made clear over the years here, virtually everybody on Earth is against the idea of FE, as bizarre as that may seem for FE newbies, because everybody quickly realizes, on one level or another, that the world will end as we know it. Never mind that this kind of world can come into view, they just have knee-jerk reactions of fear, mainly because they do not know where their place in that world might be, so they hunker down in their niche of hell and won't budge. FE newbies usually need to get a snootful of those kinds of reactions as they chat up their social circles with the "good news" before they begin to understand.

The bottom line is that the world's corporations, governments, and other institutions are dead set against FE happening, especially organizations such as environmentalists, as hard as that may be to believe. They have all heard of it, believe me, at least the people who are important, and they have all decided to do Godzilla's bidding, either consciously or by just trying to protect their turf. They all operate on the principles of fear and scarcity.

I had a series of preposterous adventures beginning with my mystical awakening at age 16, and I woke up the hard way during my FE pursuit. It was a series of events that I still look back on and sometimes wonder if they really happened, and I lived them. My closest allies had even more unbelievable journeys in ways, and we all lost any belief that we had in coincidence, as even as I write this, almost daily I can tell that my "friends" are jerking my strings once again, and I admit to being a bit ambivalent. But humanity is pretty much in "FE or bust" territory today, and nobody on Earth has come close to trying what I am, and I think that it has a chance to make a dent. I cannot really tell you what that is like, to live with that every day. Part of me wishes that I could just check out and play the rest of my life away, but I need to do this. My nagging conscience will not let me do anything less.

What I also have tried to make clear is that without FE, not only is this world not feasible in the slightest, but our doom looms ever larger. We may "achieve" a mass extinction not seen in at least 65 million years, which might take humanity with it. There are no social or political solutions to our predicament, and all of those failed approaches to FE have been pursued by people stuck in the current paradigm, no matter if they glimpsed FE's potential. Bonobos could not make the political and social changes until their economy changed. "Civilized" people argued that slavery (of course, for others, not them) was "human nature" until energy-driven machines made that hallowed institution obsolete. The fact is that humanity could not have industrialized without the energy liberated from burning fossil fuels. There was not enough wood in the world to do it. So, the social, political, and cognitive changes in the human journey have always been dependent on energy, and that will not change. However, for each previous Epochal Energy Event, it was a relative handful who achieved the technical prowess and social organization to tap that source, and they did not ask anybody's permission; they just did it. It will be the same way this time, but this time, the effort has to be based in love. If that is not its primary motivation, it will not work, not with the forces arrayed against it. So, do we get over the hump or don't we? It is up to us.

OK, end of sermon, and time to go hiking.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Nice hike in the woods. Did not see a soul. As an addendum to my prior post, the group probably most opposed to FE making its appearance is the organized psychopathy that I call Godzilla, but he also has allies/underlings in high places.

When Dennis was flying high, he was able to make his plays. Dennis once told me that unless all of that "action" was happening, he did not have the "leverage" to make his plays. It works the same way for Godzilla and elites. Unless all of that energy could be concentrated in cities, there was nothing to skim to become elites. Elites got their start by skimming markets, and the same principle has been repeated ever since. Energy concentration creates the "action" that can be exploited. Steeply hierarchical economic, political, and social systems are based on concentrating scarce energy (that people flock to), and the opportunities then abound, particularly for psychopaths, as they can then exploit people for personal gain.

Governments and corporations operate on similar principles, and that is why psychopaths do well as politicians and corporate executives. They also have a very good idea of the game that they are playing, and Godzilla is the game's master, so they are going to be opposed to something that ends their game – energy for everybody, and no more concentrations to exploit people – more than anybody else, hence Godzilla's mischief in keeping the lid on FE, but the others do, too, and not because they are taking orders, but because they are playing the same game, but only at a lower level. Organized suppression is kind of a convergent feature of our societies.

But I think that the healthiest attitude to hold toward them and what FE can mean is one of sympathy. It cannot be easy to live with the megalomaniacal dream of becoming the Emperor of the Universe, such is the folly of the dark path. Paths like Max's are full of pain and agony. I can tell you from experience that being stepped on by Godzilla is no fun, but I wish him no harm. In a world where love and abundance reigns, psychopaths will have a very hard time making their "plays." Their games and manipulations will not work if people live in abundance. The motivation for warfare disappears. If they gave a war, nobody would come. Chimp societies are fundamentally psychopathic and genocidal, but once their food supply doubled, bonobos, led by females, changed their society and psychopaths no longer ruled. If bonobos could do it, I have confidence that humans can.

Best,

Hi:

I can see that my little piece of fiction is going to take a little while to do right, so expect it before Christmas, ho, ho, ho.

This weekend I am playing the holiday game, so will not have a great deal of writing time. Here is a choir Q&A. I often pick choir Q&As by just randomly picking a chapter and looking at the chapter summary. Again, there are thousands of potential topics in that essay.

Q: Wade, I know that Earth's reef systems are threatened today, and wondered if this was historically unique.

A: Reefs have come and gone in Earth's history. There is a reef guild, stretching back to the Cambrian Explosion. Basically, warm, shallow seas along continental shelves are where reefs appear. Tropical reefs have always been Earth's most diverse ecosystems. Ever since the Ordovician, all reefs would have looked remarkably similar if we squinted, as they all had the same basic dynamics of some reef-building organisms taking advantage of the shallow waters (in which photosynthesis could occur, and the reefs themselves helped create conditions so that the waters could be oxygenated), and formed the structural basis of the reefs to then have an ecosystem grow up around them. Those food chains were always patrolled by apex predators, but the predators reflected the evolutionary times. The first reef apex predators were arthropods, to be supplanted by nautiloids, to be supplanted to armored fish, to be supplanted by ray-finned bony fish and sharks, to be supplanted by aquatic reptiles, to once again be dominated by sharks.

During Earth's hot periods, reefs could greatly proliferate, and the greatest reefs in Earth's history were in the Devonian, with several million square kilometers of reefs, or about ten times today's extent. Earth's moving continents and changing climate saw the expansion and decline of reefs. For instance, the first phase of the Devonian mass extinction eradicated 99.98% of those greatest reefs in history, as an ice age began. That ice age lasted for 100 million years, and there were no reef systems during that ice age. Reefs began to make a comeback in the Permian, but were taken out in the greatest mass extinction ever. After the Permian extinction, reefs were then made by stony corals. But even stony corals could decline, and during the Cretaceous, a form of bivalve began displacing coral reefs. The asteroid that took out the dinosaurs also took out those bivalves, and stony corals again made their comeback.

A few dynamics led to the rise and fall of reefs. One was rising and falling oceans. During ice ages, the oceans fell and the continental shelves were exposed, which was the primary home of reefs. Because reefs cannot move, they were always sitting ducks to whatever changes happened. A rising ocean could "bury" reefs under deeper water, and they would lose photosynthesis and oxygen from the surface. Cooling oceans also spelled doom for reefs. Also, in Greenhouse Earth conditions, a form of calcium carbonate known as calcite is what shellfish made their shells from. In colder seas, they made it from aragonite, which is not as stable as calcite. Today, in our ice age seas, shellfish make aragonite, but the warming and acidifying oceans, from burning fossil fuels, is making it so that those animals cannot form their shells. Many of them form key links in oceanic food chains, and the entire oceanic food chain is threatened by current trends. If humanity artificially induces a Greenhouse Earth in the next century or two, all of Earth's reef systems will likely die off. There are actually several possible outcomes to creating Greenhouse Earth conditions. One is anoxic oceans (which also kill of reefs) that induce hydrogen sulfide events. Already, reefs are dying from "coral bleaching," which is because of rising ocean temperatures. So, higher temperatures, acidification, hydrogen sulfide, and anoxia all threaten reefs, and with current trends, scientists are not optimistic about reef survival, even leaving aside the direct damage that humans inflict from overfishing and the like. The white abalone is virtually extinct along the California coast where I grew up. The soap dish in my bathroom is made from a white abalone shell that my parents acquired when I was a child. Today, that soap dish is a relic from an era that vanished in my lifetime.

So, from a long view of Earth's history, humanity's wiping out all of Earth's reefs certainly has precedents, although no life form ever received "credit" for wiping out all of Earth's reefs. If humans "achieve" that feat, it will "only" take tens of millions of years or longer for reefs to recover. Wiping out the reefs is only one of several aspects of the Sixth Mass Extinction that humans have begun. Understandably, scientists are terrified by what humanity is inflicting on Earth, and the mass extinction that humanity has already put in motion might take humanity with it, and may end the reign of mammals, and arthropods will once again become the dominant animals.

In a long view, a dispassionate scientist might be fascinated to consider the dynamics of an animal-caused mass extinction. They have happened before, such as when the Americas joined, but for an animal to cause a global extinction on land and the oceans would be a unique distinction that humanity could "achieve" as our merit badge, as we leave our mark. Of course, no human scientists would be around to study such a mass extinction and recovery, but arthropod scientists might study the event a couple hundred million years from now and marvel, and wonder if a seemingly sentient species could really do something like that.

Hi:

Recent correspondence and events have had me revisit some controversies, on the fringes and in the mainstream. The first is on the megafauna extinctions. Anybody who argues against human agency in the megafauna extinctions has a conflict of interest, as they essentially are defending the in-group known as their species. That stated, the megafauna extinctions are like a murder mystery, and what I found that all hypotheses that absolve humans ignore their motivation to kill off the megafauna. Humans have always gone after the easy energy, first, in a pattern that continues to today's oil industry. The total energy availability and high EROI of big animals dwarfed everything else that humans could have encountered. Humans had the means, motive, and opportunity to kill off the megafauna, and there is no reason to believe that they would have stopped killing them until they were gone. The climate change and other explanations just don’t hold water, as far as I have seen.

On the "natives" of the Western Hemisphere, the evidence overwhelmingly supports the idea that humans arrived via Beringia within the past 16,000 years, and may have come in a few waves of migration, and in North America, a stone tool style called Clovis abruptly appeared and coincided with the megafauna extinctions, and when the megafauna disappeared, so did the Clovis tools. The controversy seems largely politically motivated, as it does for the other extinctions such as Australia, South America, Europe, and Asia. The megafauna in Africa did just fine, to go extinct in Northern Africa concurrent with the rise of Mediterranean civilizations, especially those of the Nile valley and Rome. So, we have well-documented megafauna extinctions in early history, of the few animals that learned to fear humans and avoid them, to only go extinct when rising civilizations gave them nowhere to hide. It is kind of amazing to witness the continuing vociferous debates over the megafauna extinctions, although I have yet to see a disinterested scientist look into the issue and come away not thinking that it was primarily, if not exclusively, humans that were responsible.

I recently made post on controversies that I have looked into, and I should add to that list many of the "ancient mariner" and pre-Columbian contacts from Earth's people to the Western Hemisphere. The evidence is very strong that humans came to the Western Hemisphere via Siberia and the land bridge at Beringia, and when the land bridge disappeared, the Western Hemisphere's humans were largely isolated from the rest of the world until 1492. That does not mean that Vikings did not stumble into it and try to colonize it (and failed, as the Indians drove off those murderous invaders), or that stranded Japanese fishermen did not land on the coast of the Pacific Northwest and provide a steady supply of slaves for the natives, and some other sporadic visits and contacts, but none of them were very influential on the Western Hemisphere's cultures. Those peoples largely remained in their Stone Age until 1492, and most died off within a century of "discovery." North America's natives were largely spared until a century later, because North America did not have large sedentary populations to enslave and they had no gold and silver, but when it was invaded by Europeans, and particularly the English and their American descendants, they just wanted the land, and the peoples of North America were then eradicated.

I have looked into those situations for many years, and it sure seems like the only reason that those controversies continue is the human ego and people trying to defect responsibility for the events from their in-group. And academics and scholars can be the worst offenders. And there is no end to pseudo-scholars who crank out endless books for the enthusiast crowd on "alternative" scenarios, but that do not withstand even cursory scrutiny. There is a mountain of chaff out there, and much of it, even if it was valid, is pretty meaningless as far as the challenges that humanity currently faces. Almost all of that stuff is meaningless distraction, and that includes challenges to the idea of human-induced climate change (it is happening – you can take that to the bank), or that there is somehow all of this unlimited oil in the ground that can fuel industrial civilization forever, and so on. Those are all just egocentric games of denial of responsibility for our actions and a refusal to face reality, and there are entire cottage industries that cater to them, and even the world's largest and most powerful industries get involved.

I am not really interest in those games of denial and obfuscation. It is time to help humanity turn the corner, because we might not make it, and if we turn the corner, this kind of world can await us. Anybody interested? My life's work has been devoted to helping it happen, and I am not done yet.

Hi:

OK, another choir Q&A, before I go hiking…

Q: Wade, all of those paths to FE that you shoot down, do you know that they will not work, or is there some guesswork involved?

A: That is a long story, far longer than I have time to tell, and a lot of it is told in my public writings, and I'll refer to them in my response, although in that section where I "shoot them down" I already link to where I discuss those approaches. This response will largely provide a little more color and the process of my learning about why those paths have not worked and are unlikely to. First of all, the main reason why they have not worked and are unlikely to is the lack of integrity in the world, among the aspirants, their "allies" and supporters, those involved in organized suppression, and an oblivious public that does not know and does not care. That was the most important lesson of my journey, but there were also many practical lessons, too. I guess that after I had bitter experience of how those approaches did not work, I later thought about why those approaches did not work, and was able to generalize those experiences into a framework that also helped lead to my current approach. I do not know if my approach will work, and if it does not, it will still be about the level of personal integrity in the world, but I like my odds of finding more people at a lower integrity requirement than I do finding relatively few saints/heroes to get it done.

I started out thinking that the inventor's path to FE had promise, only if the inventors had enough supporters. In that way, I was misled by my first professional mentor. All of his inventions were either stolen or suppressed. In some ways, it could still work, but not like any effort has ever tried. I have long stated that the only way that the inventor's path could work is for the inventor with the goods to give it to a worthy group. It is still pretty much the approach that I advocate, but I never heard of the inventor with the goods willing to give it away, and that worthy group has never existed before. My "choir" efforts can be seen as trying to form that worthy group.

When I bowled over the man who would become my boss, I was all about those heroic inventors and entrepreneurs. Three months later, that man helped engineer the theft of Dennis's company, and I watched the employees cheer the thieves. It was my first big awakening moment. During those days, I befriended the inventor whom Dennis heavily promoted in Seattle, and Dennis getting his company stolen put Mr. Inventor into the rocking chair. It was a devastating blow for him, and I was highly sympathetic, but when I saw him take out his frustration on Dennis, he was attacking his only ally in the world. Ironically, it was Mr. Inventor who first told me that inventors only wanted to get rich and famous, not really help each other or the world. Mr. Inventor's behavior was the first evidence that I saw of what he was talking about.

The bottom line of the inventor's path to FE is that the perils and temptations are too great for those self-serving inventors to navigate. It does not take long before the economic magnitude of FE begins to dawn on them, and few have what it takes to not be seduced by it. More than one begins thinking that he is the Second Coming, and so on. But even the more "innocuous" aspects of the inventor's approach do not work, such as applying for a patent, playing the proprietary technology game, and the like. Not only do those approaches signal that the inventor is in it for the money, hoping for his piece of quadrillions of dollars, but it also alerts the organized suppression that another aspirant has appeared who is self-seeking. Applying for a patent is just like waltzing into the dragon's lair. If the inventor is "lucky," he will just have his invention seized (and he is almost never compensated in the least for that seizure, as he gets a taste of how the legal system really operates). I am not sure exactly what the decision-making is at the global organized suppression level, but sometimes the patent is granted and the invention seized, other times the patent is stonewalled with "laws of physics" and similar prohibitions to issuing a patent, and the really "lucky" inventors get the Golden Handcuffs of being bought out, sometimes accompanied with threats if he proves recalcitrant, and when all else fails, it can get violent, and many FE inventors met untimely ends. I do not claim any intimate knowledge of how it works on the inside, but I heard Tom Bearden once talk about it, and I realized that I had actually been involved in operations that experienced the entire range of bag of tricks that he discussed. The tale that he told of nearly being trapped in a sting operation was nearly identical to what I experienced the year before, but it was another decade before I realized it. Godzilla can play an exceedingly subtle and sophisticated game.

I also experienced wrinkles that Tom had not, such as being smeared on national TV numerous times, with "skeptics" being prominently featured in the effort, and so on. The billion dollar offer to go away was also likely outside of what Tom was familiar with. The attempts to have Dennis killed in the prison that he was kangarooed into was also outside of Tom's experience. Nobody has ever played at Dennis's level for as long, so unique perspectives came from his path, and I not only had a front row seat for much of it, I was on the hot seat for a lot of it. I was an owner of the operation in Boston and Ventura, and there is no faster learning path than being on the hot seat. I really do my best to not pay attention to the latest FE aspirant of the hour, but people bombard me with the information, and when I hear them talk about their operations, announce that they are the Messiah, and so forth, I have very intimate knowledge of what they are facing, and I know that they do not have a prayer, even if they were able to overcome their internal weaknesses. I am not sure whether to laugh or cry when I hear them talk. But newbies and armchair enthusiasts lap it up.

When I met Dennis, he was taking the straight businessman's approach, and he had just finished the greatest attempt ever made to bring alternative energy to the American marketplace. I know of no greater attempt in world history. I studied his prior efforts and learned from the master, lived through our attempts in Boston and Ventura, and later watched Dennis try the Christian approach, the "Patriot" approach, the non-profit approach, the volunteer approach, and so on. I carried his bags as he approached corporate America and the federal government, and as they approached him. Years later, I helped carry Brian O's bags as we banged on some of the same doors. I watched billionaires come and go, I helped Dennis and Brian launch mass movement efforts, ah, it would take me weeks to discuss all of those approaches and what I learned. In the end, what they all really were were attempts to find the people who cared and who were not already bought and paid for by the agents of organized suppression. In the end, they never found those people, at least not enough to make a dent with their approach.

In Boston, Dennis said that people really cared, but had nothing worth caring about, and in my naïveté, I believed him. A decade later, Dennis admitted to me that almost nobody really cared, but that he was sifting through the mine tailings of humanity, looking for gold nuggets. To this day, he has only found a handful. Also, to this day, almost all FE newbies deny the reality of those hard lessons and think that they have the magic answer that nobody ever thought of before, and the first thing that they do is rush out to tell their social circles the "good news." If they are lucky, they will not be ostracized. I have watched family relationships get wrecked and friendships and careers end when FE newbies did that, and my words of caution were almost always ignored. That has not been easy to witness.

So, as I lived through those kinds of attempts, traded notes with fellow travelers who survived their adventures, and heard of and read of others, and watched them all go down in flames, I developed not only the framework for what I am attempting today, but I have also written about those many paths of failure. Maybe one of them will work, but I highly doubt it. I know that Godzilla's organization is fractured, and the outcome of that battle may be that FE technology will be allowed to come forward, and if they do that, somebody like Greer or Dennis will be chosen as the white knight on a steed who brings it forward, and they will be allowed to succeed, and even surreptitiously helped. But only those who have played at the high levels will be a candidate for such treatment, IMO. The bottom line is that unless you have already survived at least one murder attempt, you will not be a candidate. That is a game that I have no desire to play, and I am trying something different.

Time to go hiking.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

A little note on current events. I am not the only person suggesting that lynch mobs may well descend on Wall Street before it is over. They have gone way over the line.

The shale oil play could well be the Black Swan that triggers the next collapse. Oil country is shaking in its boots and ten gallon hats. If it was just going after the dregs of low-EROI hydrocarbons, that would be one thing, but it became a huge capitalist play fueled by all of the free money that the Federal Reserve was printing and dumping from helicopters onto Wall Street, where it then chased the marginal borrowers, which in this case were the shale oil and related energy operations, and emerging market economies. This is going to be the fifth such crisis/scandal in my lifetime, and this one might bring out the lynch mobs. Possible disasters in 2015 loom largely (that reviewer also suggested that bankers could by lynched (but in those instances, by their own) with this coming crisis).

Of course, with FE, it all goes away almost overnight…

Ho, ho, ho,

Wade

P.S. As I look at links to my site, I saw this one for the first time, in Spanish, actually covered Dennis's heat pump a little. As the article said, there was no place else to "corroborate" my account. So, my page is the only place on the Internet to give any fair account of the greatest heating system that has ever been on the world market. How crazy is that?

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, your "choir" approach seems pretty idiosyncratic. How did you come up with it, and do you really think that is has a chance to help make FE happen?
A: I know it will help. How much it will help is an open question for me. It could be the critical missing piece, or it just might be a little extra something to help FE manifest and assist with its enlightened implementation. I certainly do not see my efforts as a waste of time, even though it has devoured my life and many lives were wrecked during my journey. Even if it does seem a waste of time, deluded attempts directed toward helping the biggest event in the human journey manifest is probably not a bad way to spend one's time. I can think of much bigger wastes of one's life. However, I feel that my attempt is not due to some delusive state, but is the result of what I learned on my journey. I have written quite a bit about my approach and how I came to it, but maybe this summary will make it clearer.

There is no way to really understand my approach without understanding my journey and those of my fellow travelers. I have written about them plenty in my work, and they were so much larger than life that hardly anybody from the general public can begin to believe that they really happened, much less understand the lessons that we learned from them. All I can say is that when you walk those paths, the unbelievable and preposterous become regular companions, and it can be a challenge to not get distracted and strung out by that environment. FE aspirants regularly begin to believe that they are the Messiah and the like, and few have proven themselves very immune from the perils and temptations that accompany the FE journey.

But, I found that if we kept our eyes on the goal, which was why we got involved in the first place, then all of those perils and temptations became noise that we could shut out.

As I have written, none of my close fellow travelers began our journeys thinking in terms of FE. We all got involved as a result of the USA's first energy crisis, which ended the greatest era of prosperity in the human journey, but our initial orientation was just saving energy and squeezing a little more energy from fossil fuels, although Brian O'Leary did think in terms of traditional alternative energy like windmills and direct solar, until he realized that those "solutions" were way too little and too late to resolve the problems that we face.

My initial orientation was squeezing more energy from a gallon of gasoline, and Dennis's was just saving energy for heating, initially through low-flow shower heads to foam insulation to eventually stumbling into the world's best heating system, which he was instrumental in developing. When he made the greatest run at bringing alternative energy to the marketplace in world history, using the most ingenious marketing program that I ever saw, he was not thinking in terms of FE. FE was just something that we all stumbled into as we pursued our paths. I would be remiss if I failed to mention that my fellow travelers were all overgrown Boy Scouts, and most of us had a mystical awakening early in our journeys, which not only helped lead us onto our paths, but also kept us on the paths. It helped us not succumb to the perils and temptations that derailed so many others.

It was only as we kept pursuing our goals that we became aware of the idea of FE, to later learn that FE technology is likely older than I am, and that an effort of global magnitude not only prevents any independent development of such technologies, but also keeps what has been developed sequestered from public awareness and use. If you had told any of us what we were in for as we began our journeys, we would not have believed you, and Brian said that if he knew what he was in for, he would never have begun his journey, and I am keenly sympathetic to that point of view. We all relinquished relatively easy paths to wealth to take our journeys, but in the end, none of us have any regrets, even though we would not wish our paths on anybody else.

Fairly early on, Dennis and Brian, largely because of their nationalistic indoctrination and overgrown Boy Scout qualities, decided that mass action, the kind that Brian was involved with in his Capitol Hill days, or the kinds of nationalist-, capitalist- and religious-based efforts that Dennis encountered, stood a chance of making FE happen. I carried their spears for their biggest attempts, and they were life-wrecking ventures. I was young enough to survive my adventures, while those older ones around me often did not.

Riding in the saddle with Dennis for several years was the education of ten lifetimes, and I decided that I could not afford to do it anymore and began to understand that such approaches were doomed to failure. Brian's spears were far lighter to carry, but as I carried those spears and mopped up the blood as we were repeatedly slaughtered, I learned many lessons that have informed the approach that I am taking with my "choir" idea. Almost all of us also had genius-level IQs, but I found that those overgrown Boy Scout qualities were far more important than "intelligence."

Most importantly, I learned that personal integrity was the world's scarcest commodity. I resisted that lesson all the way, until I had it beaten into my head in no uncertain terms. FE newcomers almost invariably deny that most important lesson, and they rush out to tell their social circles the "good news" about FE, think about mounting some kind of mass movement, and the like. They are like 18-year-old boys pining to prove their manhood on the battlefield, and actually pose the greatest threat to my efforts, not what the Global Controllers do.

So, the deficiencies that I saw in all FE efforts were a lack of integrity far above any other defect, in the aspirants, their supporters, the evil-mindedness that motivated the Global Controllers, and an oblivious and apathetic public whose horizons of awareness rarely extended beyond their immediate self-interest.

When the dust settled on the snuff job that we experienced in my home town, I realized that ten like Dennis or a hundred like Brian and Mr. Professor, and manifesting FE in the public sphere would be easily accomplished, but ten like Dennis I doubt exist on the planet, and people like Brian and Mr. Professor were exceedingly rare.

I also noticed that almost everybody involved in those mass movement efforts were scientifically illiterate and really did not understand the energy issue other than the idea that FE would eliminate their energy bills or that they could become rich and famous by participating in an FE effort. I found that such people were easily distracted and more harm than help for FE efforts in the current environment. The self-seeking are easily manipulated by the bag of tricks that the organized suppressors have developed, and it is mistake to think that organized suppression only happens via the Global Controllers (AKA Godzilla). During my journey with Dennis, we encountered organized suppression activity from the local, state, national, and international levels, and not all of it originated from the global level. Dennis really only attracted global "interest" after he survived the more local snuff jobs. Every presidential administration since Reagan knew of Dennis, with most of those American presidents knowing Dennis by name, but we discovered that sitting American presidents are a ways down the global food chain.

I cannot ever really get across what kind of learning experience it was to go through those kinds of meat grinders, and the biggest surprise of my journey was not the organized suppression, but how my friends and family betrayed and attacked me while the night was the darkest. You could not have convinced me of that before I began my journey at age 16, but by the time I was 30, it had been beaten into my head. The enemy is us, not organized suppression.

I wrestled with my delusions for many years, and eventually put aside the many fairy tales of my indoctrination. But, ironically, my biggest delusion, which I wrestled with for several years during my midlife crisis, was that my life's work was an exercise in futility. As crazy as it all seemed, I know that we made a dent, and that the Global Controllers had some interesting days in the office and sleepless nights wondering what to do about us. But that is not enough for any of us who kept them up at night. I cannot let our learning all go to waste as another titillating fringe tale. We all were driven by our visions of what could be. The vision that I impart in my big essay is like nothing else on Earth, as told to me by people who have scoured Earth looking for inspiring visions. I have been developing it since I was 16, but it was really my years with Dennis, on the high road in pursuit of FE, when it really began to coalesce. People familiar with my writings of more than a decade ago will see some new wrinkles in my recent vision, which came from the study I performed in order to write that big essay. I will not do anything like it again in my lifetime, and it turned out close to how I envisioned it, so I am not being gnawed at by frustration today as I once was, even though I am fully aware of how quickly humanity is heading toward the abyss today.

So, when all is said and done, my current approach is oriented around:

• Helping people achieve comprehensive understandings, because when they do, they will understand the role of energy in the journey of life on Earth and the human journey;
• Helping people understand the Epochal significance of tapping new sources of energy, which began with our ancestors leaving the trees, learning to walk upright, continued with the development of stone tools and especially the control of fire, continued though the appearance of Homo sapiens on the evolutionary scene and the increasing mental sophistication that allowed for the human mastery of language and advanced toolset that allowed behaviorally modern humans to conquer Earth, through the domestication of plants and animals, to tapping the energy of fossil fuels;
• Getting my audience to understand that not only is humanity on the brink of the abyss, but we are also on the cusp of tapping a new energy source, which will dwarf all previous energy sources, but also that the masses will only wake up to that reality if FE is delivered into their lives; only then can the new Epoch arrive; it does no good to judge the masses in their ignorance;
• Getting my audience to understand that only an approach aligned with the goal will work, as the means become the ends; my approach could be called the love and enlightenment approach, which has never really been tried before for manifesting that biggest Epochal Event of all.

I do not kid myself that the people who can help that strategy come to fruition are on every street corner. Through my 40-year journey, I came to understand that such people are less than one-in-a-thousand in the general population, but it sure beats the one-in-a-billion that Dennis is. I am looking for needles in haystacks, but I have a new technology called the Internet to help me find them and they find me. I am devoting the rest of my life's "spare" time to finding and training those people, and my big essay is the textbook. I know it will help, and if I can prevent the foibles from manifesting that have doomed so many other efforts (gung-ho newcomers, groupies and hero-worshippers, YouTube mentalities (which the psychopaths easily manipulate), etc.), it should not hurt.

I might write some more about this, but I really think that my approach and how I came to it are pretty clear in my writings.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Today and tomorrow are chore days, but I will make some posts, as well as plunk along on my fictional visionary post. In my previous post, I have outlined my approach and how I came to it, and I have provided some details over the years. I will make a post or two to present some (hopefully new) anecdotes (or previously undisclosed aspects of them), and FE newcomers may be able to able to recognize events in their own lives, or events they would like to avoid ( ), as they begin to study my FE textbook.

When that ex-girlfriend began attacking me, I almost had nothing like it in my life as a reference point, and it tore me up. Little did I know that it was a gentle preview of what my next couple of years would be like. I now realize that there was simply nothing that I could have said to her to change her mind, and her essential extortion of money from me I am sure that she sees to this day as getting the better of that crook Wade. I found that rationality, evidence, and the like does not matter to people whose minds are made up, and that extends far past interpersonal agonies like that, but when people are fed the fairy tales of organized religion, nationalism and imperial ideologies, capitalism, and those other dominant ideologies, very few people are willing or capable of relinquishing those fairy tales. It is like such people grow old and never stop leaving out the milk and cookies for Santa Claus.

When I began to dive into the alternative media after I staggered out of my home town in 1990, radicalized, my staunchest friend during the Ventura nightmare soon began to challenge my radicalized and expanding worldview every time we talked, and his punchline was always coming up with a rationale for violence. It became wearying to continually hear him advocate violence, and they were not even clever arguments, but more along the line of cowboy movie fantasies. When he called me up to cheer the bombing of Yugoslavia, that was the last straw for me, but he ended the friendship (after abusing it in the previous months to kind of extort money from me, which I did not have, but had to borrow to give him), and continued to attack me until just a few years ago, and one of the attacks was a criminal offense. I had to finally threaten to publish the evidence of his criminality to get him to back off. I found that cowards advocate violence (such as the chickenhawks in the Bush regime (and here) and their right-wing mouthpieces at Fox News, etc.), especially like my friend did, and becoming "famous" by exposure of their crimes can be enough to back them off.

It is a long story, but when I raised the money to become Dennis's partner, I gave away 10% of my shares to friends and family who did not invest, and that led to my being approached by more people who wanted to "get in," and when I gave shares to that friend, his parents called me a month later, to get in on it. They became part of my second wave of investors, who all came in because of those shares that I gave away. When my mother took that scrapbook of those newspaper clippings around on her "my son the criminal tour," that friend called me to tell me that my mother had just left their house on her tour. I actually repaid people's investments in my company after they betrayed me, and paid off some other friends who asked for their money back (Dennis made the offer when my ex-girlfriend kept attacking me, so that my guarantee of their investment was good only then, and they could get either double their money back or relinquish half of their shares for all of their money back (and one took me up on that, and Mr. Professor was eager to buy out any of my investors)), but I wanted to pay off my friend's parents anyway, as they were retirees. After my friend ended the friendship, I informed his parents that the money that my friend owed me should just be paid to them, to make them whole on their investment with me. It was after that that that ex-friend began his campaign against me, as bizarre as that may seem. He recognized how magnanimous my gesture was, but his ego got the best of him, and he had to keep attacking the person whose worldview was so starkly different than his whom he had treated shabbily and even criminally. For people with that sickness of mind and spirit, there is nothing that their target can do to heal their sickness, other than forgive them, move on, and not give them any more opportunity to inflict any more damage, onto the target or the attackers.

I'll give one more example of the hazards of trying to interest your social circle in my work. I met my editor in a Velikovsky forum in 1998. I had already been poking into the Velikovskian corpus for a few years by then and was friendly with quite a few of the controversy's participants. When I joined the forum and gave a few posts on my background, including Mr. Mentor's engine (with patent numbers, etc.), an engineer in the forum immediately attacked me, dismissing the engine and my experiences as some kind of fantasy. As I recall, it might have been the first online forum that I joined, and it gave me a preview of what forums were like. ( ), but not everybody was so boorish, and I got some enduring relationships out of the experience, including meeting my editor.

My early public writings were pretty amateurish compared to today, in style, not content so much, although I know how to play that game far better today than I did in the 1990s. By 1999, several essays on my site today had their first version published, including my "lies," fluoride, Columbus, and introductory essays. My editor, before she became my editor, tried to turn some of her "hip" friends onto my work, and some she had known for many years. One was pretty high-ranking at a high tech company, and he began to write to me. He began pretty cordially, but soon began to go off the deep end. In fact, some of his observations made it into my "critics" essay as examples of poor logic. He blew a gasket over this section of my introductory essay, and was soon launching into tirades against my work, and he soon found an ally in another "hip" friend whom my editor tried to turn onto my work. That guy went far further off the deep end and even began to make death threats to my editor. Her friendship ended with that first assailant over my work, and that other one had actually threatened her life, and those were her "hip" friends. Another pal of hers actually taught high school history, and he too went off the deep end, and again his irrationalities were the most telling aspect of his assaults. My medical racket essay became a "conspiracy theory" in his eyes, when a reading of the essay actually shows that it is nearly the opposite. As I recall, her relationship with him was wrecked, too, over my work. And that all happened before 9/11, when the entire USA went off the deep end and I finally had to remove my email address from my website, as the attacks became increasingly irrational and vicious, and my assailants were always anonymous cowards. It just was not worth it to me anymore, and I did not engage the public again for several years.

Those are far from the only instances of pals having relationships get wrecked when they tried to introduce "hip" friends to my work. For years, pals who had some understanding of my work tried to use it to "wake up" their relatives who were Rush Limbaugh fans and could not get enough Fox News. I strongly discouraged that. Those kinds of people often hoard weapons and the like. I tell my friends to just let those friends and relatives sleep, and talk about the weather and sports.

I pretty much cannot discuss any of my public work with my family, friends, and colleagues, although I have been getting a little less reticent in my old age, but I often have regretted it when I did, and had to remind myself to keep my mouth shut, even when those around me start talking about the shale oil and fracking disasters happening in their states.

Back to chores.

Hi:

Avalon has often become grist for the mill of my writings, and reading Bearden's mention of heat pump COPs inspired my first new web page in years, which I just published, here. It provides a little more education and color around Dennis's heat pump.

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, you make the case that domesticating plants and animals was one of humanity's Epochal Events. Why did it happen and how, and really, how significant was it?

A: Well, I highly doubt that your diet, wherever you live on Earth, other than maybe some captured sea animals, is made of much besides domesticated plants and animals. The Domestication Revolution led to the appearance of civilization, without which there would not been metallurgy, cities, literacy, and much of what we take for granted today, so I doubt that the significance of the Domestication Revolution can be overstated. It also raised Earth's carrying capacity for humans from maybe 10 million to about two billion, for a 200-fold increase. Without the Domestication Revolution, it is highly unlikely that you or I would be alive.

How it happened and why it happened are fascinating questions that scientists have pursued for centuries, and the formation of civilization is a question that philosophers have asked for millennia. First, the how. Flowers and their resultant fruit are designed to be eaten by animals in order to lower the energetic costs of reproduction for plants. So, defensive plant chemicals are usually not present in fruits, as animals are supposed to eat them. But for other human foods, such as seeds (including legumes) and roots, which comprise the majority of the human diet's calories today, the plants did not originally intend for animals to eat them. What those plants domesticated for those plant parts had in common is that they all lived in tropical or warm temperate climates with dry seasons, and those plant parts were a strategy to store energy to survive the lean seasons. In a few places on Earth, humans learned to exploit those energy stores and cultivate plants so that those stores were renewable. Scientists have joked that if an ET civilization observed Earth, they might think that plants bred a slave class that took care of them. Humans ensured that domestic plants were well-tended and were able to reproduce, which is all that any species could ask for. Having their energy stores plundered by humans became a hugely successful evolutionary strategy for domestic plants.

Domestic animals are almost solely social animals, and since humans are social animals, it helped lend the insight needed to essentially conquer those animal societies and dominate them. Again, it became a hugely successful evolutionary strategy for those animals to become domesticated, and humans have driven numerous non-domestic animals to extinction. Becoming domesticated put those plants and animals on the "winning team," at least while humans still exist. So, humanity is deeply interdependent with its crops and domestic animals.

On the why, today a prominent hypothesis is that after humans killed off all of Earth's easy meat during humanity's conquest of Earth (another Epochal Event), in a few places on Earth where large animals had largely been hunted to extinction and those domesticable plants lived, humans learned to domesticate those plants. There was already a sexual division of labor in which men hunted and women gathered, related to physical strength and the demands of child-rearing. When women domesticated plants formerly gathered, they began to bring in more calories than hunting men did, and women's status rose in those pristine precursors to civilizations. Consequently, those societies tended to become matrilocal, which meant that men left their natal societies to mate, male gangs no longer dominated those societies, and feminists accurately look back at a time when women had relatively high status in relatively peaceful societies. It really was the case, but as the success of domestication grew the populations, then they ran up against resource constraints once again, that brief golden age ended, and men rose to dominance again as civilization became urbanized, as brute strength, to handle draft animals where used, and organized warfare against one's neighbors, as they battled over increasingly scarce resources, became economically important once again.

It is thought today that unless plants could only have been domesticated where hunters did not dominate, as a farmer would have been a sitting duck to raids from hungry hunters. Australia arguably had as many candidates for domestication as other continents did, but aboriginal Australians never achieved agriculture, perhaps because hunters never lost their supremacy anywhere.

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, why don't you think that a, as you call it, "Tinkerer Revolution," can make FE happen?

A: Oh boy, that is a long story. I grew up in an inventor's workshop and helped build his contraptions, so I have intimate "tinkering" experience. Even today, I see prominent people advocate that the FE revolution will come out of garages and workshops, maybe 3-D printed, but none of those advocates that I ever saw had any real R&D experience, even of the workshop variety, and certainly no experience in developing technology for public use. There are several reasons why nobody needs to get very excited over a tinkerer revolution, and that belief reflects some long-standing delusions among FE advocates. For one thing, I think that Hollywood had has too much influence shaping people's perceptions, like Back to the Future and other movies that depict earth-shaking technologies coming out of garages. The fact is that many breakthroughs in fact began in garages, but that was only the beginning. They were never made market-ready in garages. There is a huge gulf between a working prototype and something ready for public use.

Brian O had a sensible perspective. He spent years visiting FE labs scattered across Earth and worked at a big aerospace company for several years, as well as performed feasibility studies for space colonies. Brian had some familiarity with what it took to take something from concept stage to public use. Dennis spent millions of dollars developing the heat pump that he sold, as well as building inventors' sanctuaries and spending millions on FE tinkering. It is a lot harder than Hollywood makes it look! I have even had people close to me, who worked for big aerospace companies, who suggested that I should just make an FE device in my garage and power my house with it. I responded that I might as well try to build a rocket to Mars in my backyard.

After years of visiting labs, then spending several years playing the Paul Revere of FE (and then openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species), Brian had a very realistic way of viewing FE labs. For instance, Sparky Sweet really did build an FE prototype in his home, but he was a career scientist for General Electric, had some high-powered guidance, and even then he kind of stumbled into his process for making his prototypes. But that was a long way from public use. Brian likened what Sparky did to the Wright brothers getting a plane in the air in 1903 and refining their planes in their shop in Dayton. That was a long way from buying a ticket to jump on a plane and fly cross the USA. A huge industrial effort took the Wright brother's planes to the commercial stage, so that passengers and freight could cross the skies. Brian estimated that it would take $100 million to take something like what Sparky had and make it into an appliance ready for public use.

The Wright brothers of FE have flown many times in their rickety crafts, but it never got past a few passes at Kitty Hawk before those planes were either destroyed or sequestered (or crashed and burned). Now, Dennis did not fly, but he built the equivalent of a train that was moving passengers and freight twice as fast and cheaper than the day's rail lines did, and they wiped him out. Nobody else has ever run alternative energy freight and passengers like Dennis has, even if he never flew. Dennis had the advantage of that heat pump panel being the only exotic component; everything else could be bought over-the-counter. An FE device is going to be mostly be made of exotic components, and that is where it gets hard. I have had my hands on FE prototypes, and if you have $1 million to spare, you can try to build one, too. But in Godzilla's Golden Hoard is stuff like planes and rockets, ready for the public to use. But we do not get any while we are collectively asleep.

To me, all of that "Tinkerer Revolution" talk is just adolescent fantasy, similar to 18-year-old boys pining for the battlefield. It does not work like it does in the movies, and I see that kind of advocacy as just another short-cut fantasy to FE, so that nobody has to do the hard work, but it happens after a few long nights in somebody's garage. And there is no end to the garage tinkerer who announces that he "has it!", that he is the Messiah (but with nothing that he can really demo), and so forth. It is all meaningless distraction from what I am trying to get going. In the end, my choir idea could be the nucleus for an FE effort to coalesce around, or it might only help raise the awareness and vibe, but what it will not be doing is promoting the inventor of the hour and his gizmo. That entire approach is a waste of time in today's environment, IMO, especially when the inventors apply for patents, play the proprietary "secret sauce" technology game, play the raising money game, and so on. Godzilla is not asleep or dead the last I knew, and he cannot be snuck past. Those approaches will not work and are not really aligned with the goal. We need to raise our games if we are going to make a dent.

Dearest Wade,

Have a merry Christmas and please enjoy the holidays with your family!

If I might, here in the upper mid west where I live we need heat. I have a house with a hydronic system in that water is heated by a boiler and then pumped through out the house via pipes with radiators to distribute the heat throughout the home.

It is an efficient system with very even heating within any room in the home.

Could you talk about Dennis"s heat pump in an application such as mine and what it would mean in terms of reducing energy bills?

Again, a boiler that heats the water and a pump to distribute the hot water to the radiators and then a return of the cold water to the boiler to repeat the cycle....

It seems a huge crime to a person such as myself to see that a new type of heat pump that could triple or more the energy savings was suppressed for a short term profit from some energy company....

Well welcome to America the land of the rackets.....

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Nine:

As in that example that I published yesterday, Dennis's heat pump was probably best at heating water, because water could absorb more energy than air could. So, in a home like yours, with circulating hot water, that was typically the easiest retrofit for Dennis's system. Basically, a heat exchanger from the heat pump was hooked up to the same place where your water is heated. It also did not need to completely replace your other heat source, which could be backup for high demand that the heat pump could not meet, or if the heat pump failed. But if it was installed properly, it was about as reliable as a refrigerator, and they both only had one moving part: the pump for the refrigerant.

The energy racketeers made sure that no company in the USA sells that heat pump anymore. Dennis's heat pump became a huge threat to the rackets. In some markets, electricity and gas and oil would be in competition, and then Dennis could find a lukewarm ally in the electric companies, but in general that heat pump was too disruptive to the rackets, so it had to go. The bottom line is that corporations are all about maximizing revenues and profits for the owners. That is the essence of capitalism. Corporations only exist to make profits for the owners, but it is never polite to openly admit it. "Conservation" for corporations is only pursued if it enhances revenues and profits. Capitalism is evil in its conception, and would be one of the first things to go if FE made its appearance. The self-serving motivations of greed and a lust for power would fade away and become obsolete. When abundance reigns and everybody is empowered, those primitive games will end, although the dark pathers, led by Godzilla, will resist it all the way, because it will mean "game over" for them.

On Christmas, oh, does the Holy Land ever suffer. Dennis and his wife (she is Jewish) have long wanted to move to Israel, and they still may, but they will do it out of a sense of trying to help heal that mess, and it needs it. The advent of FE would be a universal healing event, but in ways, no place would feel it more than the Middle East, and that segues to my intended choir Q&A today.

Q: Wade, migrations seem to be prominent in the journey of life on Earth and the human journey. What did they have in common?

A: In a word: energy. Every single migration in world history of every life form, including humans, was born of necessity and opportunity. None of the migrations were done out of a sense of adventure. The basic pattern before humans arrived on the scene was a "loser" creature being forced to the ecosystem margins and finding a way to exploit it, which could lead to exploiting a new environment. In almost all instances, exploiting the new environment was a disaster for the new environment's existing inhabitants. About the only exceptions were when plants colonized new environments, such as when they left the water for land, or seed-bearing plants, as they colonized land that was barren of life. Everything that came behind them ate the existing life forms. Virtually all "golden ages" of the past were catastrophes for the life forms that fueled the golden age, and that also extended to early human migrations and golden ages. In his essential First Migrants, Peter Bellwood stated it this way:


"Why did ancient populations commence their migrations? My instinct would be to place need for land and resources as the most common causal factor in situations of free and considered migration (not forced by war or other sources of desperation), both in the prehistoric past and more recent history."


My studies have shown that whether it was the Bantu expansion, the agricultural migrations into Europe, Spain's conquest of the Western Hemisphere, the English/British conquest of its empire, or what the USA is doing to the Middle East today, it was always an economic motivation rooted in energy. Also, when agricultural peoples displaced/absorbed hunter-gatherers, or Spain conquered the New World, it was always native men who suffered the most; they disappeared from the gene pool, as the invaders received enhanced reproductive rights; the phenomenon of attractive females mating with rich and powerful males goes back to chimps and even earlier.

The Industrial Revolution could have been a harmless one, as for the first time, non-life energies were harnessed on an Epochal scale, and the rise of water and wind power that Europe rode to dominance also did not exploit life forms, at least in their operation. Instead, Europe used its energy advantages to conquer the world. For all of the immense evils that Europe inflicted on the world, industrialization led to the demographic transition and a great increase in humanity's standard of living, and as industrialized nations exploited fossil fuels, they even began to regrow their forests.

The FE Revolution could go a long way toward Europe paying its immense debt to humanity and the ecosphere, but evil-minded interests are in control as humanity sleeps. But if 0.0001% of humanity wakes up, that transition to a harmless world can happen, and is what my life has been devoted to helping come to pass.

Hi:

Writing about Dennis's heat pump is taking me back, as usual. Dennis was about 33 when he was introduced to the heat pump. He had already lived a preposterous life and should have died many times over by then. Having his partners and mobsters steal his companies was all part of his baptism in the business world. But his education reached new levels with the Seattle experience. He survived at least one murder attempt in Seattle and had so many death threats that he had a bodyguard when I met him. When Bill the BPA Hit Man drove one of Dennis's employees to commit suicide, that was Dennis's first radicalizing moment in the energy industry. Somewhere along the way, Bill became a Godzilla asset, and that may have been the first time when Godzilla became involved in Dennis's adventures.

Neither of us suspected it at the time, but our first Godzilla overture was in Boston. The local energy interests also tried to wipe us out, but higher levels of the game became involved. In Ventura, Godzilla added a couple of zeroes to the carrot before the boom was lowered on us. We encountered Sparky Sweet in those days, and before too many more years passed, we got to find out about some of what was in Godzilla's Golden Hoard. The media, "skeptics," law enforcement, and the like were regularly sicced on Dennis, on behalf of various racketeering interests, from local electric companies all the way up to Godzilla.

When Brian O began to peek into the FE milieu, about the same time that he nearly lost his life poking into the UFO milieu (they are related), he also began seeing how deep the rabbit hole went, and he eventually used an onion analogy, as the layers of truth and deception peeled away, which I used in one of my more prominent essays.

If you are truly pursuing the truth and world healing and have the integrity to walk those paths very far and survive for long, that is the territory that you encounter. Again, that organized suppression exists was not the big surprise of my journey, or that Godzilla has quite a treasure trove of goodies, but how the FE aspirant's greatest enemy (if he can get past his own ego) is his social circle, including his friends, family, and colleagues. You could have gotten me thinking that those other dynamics, interests, and events were real, but you could have never convinced me who my greatest enemies would be. That is the current state of humanity, in all its glory.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Ho, ho, ho.

Peace on Earth, etc.

The choir Q&As, when related to my journey, are not fictional in that they are really questions that I have been asked before. Today, I will put in some odds and ends.

To make the "logic" clearer that the Attorney General's office used in its phony lawsuit in Seattle, I will use a car analogy. The way that Dennis sold that heat pump was that customers only paid what it saved, so its performance was guaranteed, and I doubt that even the Attorney General's lawsuit attacked the tax credit the way that that news show did, as that charge was easily proven false.

So, it was as if Dennis had a car that got a documented 100 MPG (which Dennis also sold, many years later, which was what finally got him driven from the USA), and customers only paid for how much gasoline that car saved them over their current car. It got 100 MPG in government-certified tests, but Dennis generally used tests with it getting 60 MPG in his sales literature, which he also submitted to Congress in order for it to qualify for the tax credit.

So, if it did not save anything, the customer never paid in the first place, so the attack on its MPG was irrational on its face, but it got worse. There were already cars getting 100 MPG in conditions like Seattle's, and the road conditions when it got only 60 MPG were in another, rougher, part of the country. If it could get 60 MPG there, it would get higher MPGs everywhere else. The lawsuit stated that Dennis only submitted data showing that it got 60 MPG in another part of the country, and he could not prove that it would get 60 MPG in Seattle, as if it would get less in Seattle, when anybody with any experience with Dennis's car knew that it would likely get 100 MPG in Seattle, not less than 60. But the lawsuit stated that Dennis had not proven that it could get 60 MPG in Seattle.

The other charges in the lawsuit were about at that level of rationality. Here is another example of how legitimate their charges were. I have written how Dennis's manufacturer was wiped out by the Rockefellers' bank, and that manufacturer had the most famous test of Dennis's heat pump performed, which became more famous than the results that Dennis submitted to Congress when Ventura County's officials lied about that test to the test lab, to scare it off and prevent that data from being submitted to court. When Dennis's manufacturer was wiped out like that, just as the electric companies began their attack in Seattle, Dennis finally had to build his own factory. Mr. Engineer, who built Boeing's 747 factory, built Dennis's heat pump factory. When I interviewed with Dennis's company the next year, it was at that factory. One charge in the Attorney General's lawsuit was that there was no factory building Dennis's heat pumps. After the media attack, orchestrated when Dennis was out of town, and coordinated with Bill the BPA Hit Man's attempted mutiny on the inside, the Attorney General's office finally served their lawsuit on Dennis. Guess where the lawsuit was served to Dennis? At the heat pump factory! The Attorney General's office could not have been more stupid if they had tried, and their dragon lady's conscience finally got to her and she quit her career in the midst of bludgeoning Dennis's company, and later defended her criminal behavior to Dennis as "only following orders."

The Attorney General's lawsuit was filled with charges at that level of legitimacy, but a 40-plus-count lawsuit sprayed across the media had its intended effect: everybody who had not put down any money on Dennis's system canceled their orders. When I reconstructed Dennis's books the next year, I noted that only those who made down payments (generally the tax credit money, which they had refunded when they filed their tax returns) had systems installed. The campaign was completely effective in that regard, but they were not able to prevent those 400 systems from being installed, although they tried mightily, which resulted in that woman's death, among other calamities. To this day, talking heads and "elder statesmen" in the FE field lie about what happened in Seattle, in order to portray Dennis as a criminal. Those are some reasons why I do not want to have anything to do with the FE field today.

As I previously threatened to do, I am going to write about how I met Brian. It was not as spectacular as meeting Dennis, or rescuing that hooker, but I can tell that my "friends" orchestrated our introduction. It takes a little telling to understand the context, so here goes. My overgrown Boy Scout nature was evident from infancy, and while growing up, my friend's parents treated me like a son, especially the mothers. That also became evident after I left home. Women old enough to be my mother treated me like a son. My wife has been amused by that effect for the past 27 years. In retrospect, I can now see that sometimes it probably went beyond that, and some of those women would have liked to have had me for their boy toy, but I was almost always oblivious to any overtures that they may have made, and only many years later could I see what was probably happening on their end. One friend's mother, who later said that she considered me another son, began shacking up with a guy my age, right as she treated me like a son and then some. And again, I was oblivious to her even shacking up with that youngster, and she told me about it many years later.

I have written plenty about my life's greatest crime, and that old girlfriend who began attacking me in Boston. In both instances, those women were babes with a capital B, and they both threw themselves at me for a year before I did anything about it. With that ex-girlfriend who attacked me, during the year that she threw herself at me (in LA, but we were friends in college), a married couple from my college days sat me down and informed me that she was throwing herself at me and that if I did not "go for it," I was a fool, as she was marrying material. Our brief fling happened some months later, and she ended it after a couple of weeks, as I was not a Christian and would never be one (and did not want children, but she sure did, and eventually had four), but marrying her was definitely on my list of possibilities, before she ended it. As I look back at my life, even I can tell that many women got flirty with me and probably wanted to have a relationship, but I was oblivious to it and on my "save the world" path, and passed up many "opportunities" while I lived like a monk. Some overtures were more than overt, and I generally ran away from those women. Gay men were also attracted to me, and again, I was oblivious to the fact that that they were even gay, even when friends told me that I was hanging around with gay men who had their eye on me. But even I could tell when some women treated me maybe a little too motherly, but I was never about to do anything about it. And this leads to how I met Brian.

When I moved to Ohio after marrying my wife, it took me a year to find my next career position, as I once again tried finding work in a recession. As during my younger days in Seattle, LA, and Ventura, I joined the local mystical community, and I also joined a "new science" organization in Dayton, which had its meetings in the shadow of the world's largest Air Force base. The local chapter of that organization held its national conference there in the summer of 1991, literally a couple of weeks before I landed that next career position. The local chapter was run by a man who was a very cheap imitation of Dennis, as he played the flamboyant game. The guy built Rife machines to make a living and had recently married a lovely woman about my age, and he was ten years older than us. It was one of those marriages where you wondered what she saw in him. He was about 100 pounds overweight and again, was a cheap and kind of creepy version of Dennis. I was not impressed with his shtick, and kind of gave him crap when he led that organization's monthly meetings. I did it in a friendly way, but I was a thorn in his side, and his wife loved me. She was about my age, but treated me like those mothers of my young years did, and I am sure that her husband noticed.

I worked with her at the registration table at that national conference, and that was when I got a peek at their member list and saw why Bill the BPA Hit Man arrived at a conference to heckle and wreck Dennis's appearance there. As I look back at it, our interactions could be seen as flirty, and her husband began to send me to the airport to pick up speakers for the conference. I now think that he was trying to get rid of me, and it was on one of those airport runs that I picked up some guy named Brian O'Leary. That was how we met. I laugh when I think about that situation, and as I look back at it, I can tell that it was another series of events orchestrated by my "friends."

Ho, ho, ho:

One reason why I have made thousands of posts at Avalon is that if FE ever makes it past the organized suppression and the public's inertia, and the biggest event in the human journey arrives, Dennis's and Brian's odysseys will become quite famous, and professional biographers and historians are going to be mining this thread and my site for information, and I am trying to ensure that my writings will be available to the public as long as there is an Internet. So, I am not only doing this for the benefit of today's readers, but future biographers and historians. But if we don’t get over the FE hump, there may not be a future civilization anyway.

THIS IS A VERY ACCURATE STATEMENT---
I believe that much of that so-called advanced technology tries to mimic advanced spiritual abilities. My understanding is that much of our advanced technology is quaint by certain “extraterrestrial” standards, because we have a primitive understanding of consciousness. By and large, the heart is not in charge on Earth.,
Thanks to be with us Wade.

Thanks Yetti:

Bill lifted that statement from some email exchanges that he, Kerry, Brian, and I had in preparation for our interview, and I did not have an issue with that being the "headline" of my interview. I still feel the same way. Much of what technology does is make our lives easier, and "living" on the other side is truly effortless. We have different challenges on the other side, and a lot of that so-called "advanced" technology only does what some of us can do without it. I have taken my own baby steps in those areas, as others have honed those innate abilities to masterful levels.

However, the path ahead, as with the path behind us, will be technological in nature. In that heavenly Roads world, there may not have been any Level 19s, but some no longer needed technology in ways, as their spiritual abilities eliminated the need. We are not going to all float off to Nirvana together, but will use technology to clean up our mess and manifest something that looks a lot like heaven on Earth. It is part of the path of our evolution and our souls' learning experience. Only much later will some of us no longer need to eat, move around the universe at will, manifest whatever we need, etc.

Ho, ho, ho:

I am in the middle of some Christmas chores, before the day begins. I thought that I was a good boy this year, but I do not see any sign of Santa's visit!

Q: Wade, the role of oxygen in the journey of life on Earth is currently keenly contested. What is your position?

A: I cover a lot of that controversy in my essay, from the Great Oxygenation Event and the formation of the banded iron formations to the oxygenation of the oceans to the role of anoxic events in mass extinctions and formation of the oil deposits to many evolutionary events in which oxygen's role is contested, from the very beginnings of complex life to allegedly evolutionary adaptations to varying oxygen levels over the eon of complex life. Scientists such as Berner, Canfield, and Ward have presented a great deal of evidence to support arguments for oxygen's crucial role, while scientists such as Nick Butterfield have challenged the importance of oxygen in various events.

I personally find the subject fascinating, and there is surely going to be a flurry of scientific papers in the future that will shed more light on those subjects, and I happily await those research results. Some in the field are cautioning against making oxygen's role larger than it really was, and today's oxygen hypotheses are considered by some scientists to be a fad, similar to how bolide impacts were invoked for all mass extinctions not long ago. Fashions and fads can grip scientists, too.

I believe that oxygen's role has been great. The production of oxygen by photosynthetic bacteria likely saved our oceans from being lost to space, created the ozone layer, and has been responsible for many events that allowed life to flourish on Earth. No planet is going to have much free oxygen in its atmosphere if there is not a constant production of it, as oxygen is so reactive. Life learned to generate that oxygen as well as take advantage of it, and we would not have food chains without it, or any animals that lived on land. So, I doubt that the importance of oxygen can be overstated, even though its role in many events is currently contested. Again, I look forward to digesting the research results for as long as my brain can do so, and I probably have another 30 good years to digest new findings.

Best,

Wade
