WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[gripreaper]

Thank You Wade for you post #4840 here as I find so much of the debate is shrouded in the context of nationalism, political affiliations, religious context and victimhood.

We spend hours looking at how bad Godzilla is, and then we turn around and think that some form of capitalism, or some form of nationalism and representative government, or some more prayer will fix things, not realizing that the entire paradigm we have been conditioned to believe is true, is totally a lie and none of it works and all of it needs to be dismantled for a new paradigm to emerge.

I'm not saying that I know how this transition will look as I do not claim to be a psychic prognosticator, but I do feel we would need to lose the victimhood, lose the sacred societal structures we cling to, be willing to lose all the loot in our bank accounts that we hoarded while building the military industrial complex and the secret space program, and help the millennials who are waking up to bust the cororatocracy patents and copyrights and the formation of venture capital as the only means of innovation.

I'm sorry to say but I am losing patience with those who advocate "voting" our way out of the slave system, those who get riled up in nationalistic fervor for Freedom and Liberty when they do not even know the history of the UNITED STATES, INC. who still believe the slaves were emancipated in 1860's and we have the right to vote and choose who runs government! I get impatient with those who still think that their brand of religion is better than others when the three main ones are all Abrahamic and the rest were spawns of these. It's all the same from a control point of view.

We keep falling for the same divisiveness memes, pitting one thing against the other, which we vehemently defend and go to war over. If we decide we no longer want divisiveness and war, then we need to stop being the gatekeepers for Godzilla against our brothers and sisters and no longer support the slave system to the best of our abilities. I'm not saying jump the fence of the plantation like Toby did in Roots, I'm just saying do what you can, and if someone is jumping the fence and finds his sovereignty and wakes up, we should cheer him on, emulate him and NOT pull him back down and force him to be a good little slave and quit shaking up the apple cart.

Keep shaking!

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Grip:

Yes indeed, as I have long stated, we do almost all of Godzilla's work for him. He rarely needs to intervene. That was the primary lesson of my journey. Looking for heroes to worship or "bad guys" to eradicate is the victim's approach to life, and it is rooted in fear. Love is the only answer that I know of. Yes, all of those ideological battles are simply arguing for their favorite color of manacles. One of the primary messages of my work is that we cannot even glimpse this kind of world while we are dragging around our fear-and-scarcity-based baggage. Shedding our fear-based indoctrination and conditioning is perhaps the hardest feat on Earth, but people in the West, who are not in constant risk of hunger, have a leg up from the poor nations, but even those in the rich nations who are even willing to question the chains on their brains are few and far between. All of the ideological fighting that you refer to I call "hacking at branches," and yes, it all does little good, if any. Looking for needles, but needles will be enough…

Best,

Wade

Hi:

On the forgiveness and creator issue, I have an anecdote to tell, which I heard in my est class in 1979, from the instructor. An est class attendee was interned in one of Germany's concentration camps during The Holocaust, and he was regularly whipped by one of the camp's employees. One day, in the midst of the whipping, he looked at his assailant and saw himself. In that moment of awareness, the wounds on his back instantly healed. The whipper was sent into some kind of frenzied state when witnessing it. The whippee obviously survived the camp experience, to tell it to an est class more than thirty years later.

The moment of forgiveness in that situation was the recognition of a co-created experience, and that recognition lead to a "miracle." I have participated in "miracle" healing experiences, and Dennis had more than one, as have others in his organizations. Some became part of the folklore. One happened so spectacularly (somebody wheelchair-bound for years nearly sprung out of it) that they nick-named the facility (where Dennis worked out of and lived for about a decade) after the event. The members of Dennis's organization were having some kind of prayer session in a field next to the facility, and that woman in the wheelchair came bounding out of the facility to join them.

Dennis's first such event was similar. He was crippled with rheumatoid arthritis (it eventually killed his father) and could barely stand. This was in the early days of his Christian faith. He and his wife literally lived in their office (not the only time they did that), as it was all they could afford, and she had to haul Dennis on a sheet from the back room to sit him at the desk to start the business day, and he would sit at that desk all day. She would then drag him back to the back room where they slept at night. One day, Dennis decided that God could heal him if he had enough faith, and Dennis decided that if he could walk around a table in the office, that he would be healed when he completed the circuit. He then began his circuit, and "walking" is too generous a term, as he was nearly sprawled across the table, leaning on it during his circuit. Each step was agony, but when he made his final step, he was instantly healed, and he went skipping to find his wife, nearly clicking his heels. It was like something out of the movies.

Those kinds of events really happen. They are not just Bible stories and tall evangelist tales. I have participated in some of them. When people are healed like that, it often does not "take," but comes back later. Dennis later got Guilaine-Barré Syndrome and was paralyzed, and he was nearly killed three times by VA negligence, and he is crippled to this day, but he does not let it slow him down. That woman who sprung out of the wheelchair had good health for about a decade after that healing event before the condition returned, and it eventually killed her. Those diseases that Dennis and she had were immune system issues. While a healing can happen, the same dynamics that brought on the disease can return, for physical or soul-based reasons.

Those are all big subjects, but my point is that those moments of recognition, faith, or what have you are powerful events of consciousness that can result in miraculous healings, and are closely related if not identical to those great moments of forgiveness. What they all have in common is love.

Time for chores and editing my big essay. I am on the early life on Earth chapter, so have a ways to go in the next week or so. With some of the neat tools that I have, mastering the big essay in HTML only takes an hour or two. The hard part is formatting that .pdf essay that reads like a book. That one takes several hours. One day on a coming weekend (next weekend if I am lucky), I will spend the day mastering those documents and publishing them, and then I do not plan significant revisions to my big essay for years.

Best,

Wade

Something from your article, where you're covering the Devonian period:

"The five digits common to limbed vertebrates were set in this time; early tetrapodomorphs had six, seven, and eight digits, and the digital losses were probably related to using feet on land."

This is kind of an evolutionary bummer, if you ask me. If only we'd kept just one more finger on each hand. Numerics and mathematics in a base 12 system would've been more robust than the base 10 system we use, in my opinion.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

As I have written, I am a CPA who began questioning the value of my profession upon graduating from college, to soon discover that I was in a worthless profession. While the free energy business does not pay (understatement of the year! ), it has provided me soul-fulfilling psychic income when I was not trying to survive my adventures.

I have been accurately predicting crashes, scandals, and other calamities since the 1980s, when I saw one of California's serial real estate bubbles about to collapse. That was two bubbles ago, and the third California real estate bubble of the past generation will burst, along with many others. Spotting bubbles heading for crashes is not really some arcane talent, but just failing to get caught up in the insanity.

When I first published my Savings and Loan Scandal essay in early 2001, I predicted that something like the Enron and related scandals were coming, partly because of my worthless profession. I predicted the collapse of the dot.com bubble back when I worked for one in 1999, again just by sniffing the hysteria in the air. I was working on my site in those years and was frying much bigger fish than the vagaries of the financial economy, which is largely fictional and only has a tenuous connection to reality. But when I began seeing bumper stickers in 2004 that said if you had a heartbeat that you could buy a house with no downpayment, I knew that the craziness had returned. By 2005, I was telling everybody who would listen to look out for a real estate crash, and when the financial system began collapsing in 2007, I openly stated that it was going to be far worse than people thought. But it was not because I was studying the financial press or really knew all the ins and outs of the fraud that led to it. Those bumper stickers told me that the system had lost its moorings to sanity, and I saw wide-eyed people swept up in the hysteria.

When the collapse really began picking up steam, I began reading the financial press daily (not the mainstream media's cheerleading conduits, but people who really knew what they were talking about and who, like me, could see it coming), and the nature of the fraud became evident. At least when the Savings and Loan Scandal could not be covered up any more, more than a thousand people went to prison and there was at least the pretense of reform. The system had become so corrupt in the intervening generation that not only did nobody go the jail, other than Bernie Madoff and Martha Stewart (punishing the most and least guilty – half of Wall Street should have gone to prison), they did not even lose their jobs, and instead received trillions of dollars in bailouts and "stimulus." Right then, I knew that another huge collapse was in the offing, which would likely be larger than the previous one. Each one of these financially engineered bubbles and collapses has had slightly different mechanisms, but as Mark Twain said, history does not repeat itself, but it rhymes. Wildly printing money and keeping interest rates at zero inexorably leads to what we are seeing.

In early 1929, Joe Kennedy's shoeshine boy gave him a stock tip, and that spurred Joe to immediately get out of the stock market. I have had several Joe Kennedy moments in the past generation, and today's situation is surreal, as the world's central banks compete in who can print the most money the fastest. Literal negative interest rates are standard in Europe today, and even American banks are beginning to "give out" negative interest rates to their depositors. This is so high on the crazy scale that it is breathtaking. Markets everywhere are soaring to all-time highs, and I can hardly find a semblance of sanity anywhere. That the USA keeps starting and fighting wars, and has been goading Russia with the Ukrainian situation that looks like a standard coup situation that the USA has long been expert in, is particularly ominous.

Again, the financial economy is not real, but is just the machinations of accountants and banks. It theoretically can have some relationship to reality, but not when the whole game is as shamelessly rigged as it is. The global financial economy left sanity behind long ago, and the only question for me is if the coming collapse will lead to more wars, and maybe nuclear exchanges.

I am trying to do something that makes the financial economy obsolete, and we will see how it goes, but it really has been something to see nations compete in the craziness game. It is going to end very badly.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Ha ha, Joe:

That gave me my morning chuckle. I just made a post on the fictional financial economy. Math is great stuff if its limitations are understood. Einstein tried to avoid math when he could, and said that the more elegant and beautiful the math to support a theory, the more likely the theory was wrong. Here is a nice little article on math, science, philosophers, and reality.

If more is better, then heck, we should have kept eight digits. I edited that section you quoted from just last night (but nothing about the math implications ). When I was eight, my father began teaching me binary and octal numbering systems, and coders often use hexadecimal. One thing that my father taught me was that there are infinite valid geometric systems. It just depends on their assumptions (like parallel lines meeting at infinity).

My brain is already strained enough for a Monday morning, back to editing.

Best,

Wade

“My brain is already strained enough for a Monday morning…” --Wade Frazier, 2015

What??!! Say it isn’t so!

Hey, the choir isn’t supposed to rely on you to carry all the weight.

And since I would argue that more is not better in this case… (I know that’s not what you think either, but I’m gonna steal that for a segway. Not to try to point out an area where you didn’t already think of everything from every angle… Because finding those areas is like finding choir members… I wonder if playing on the choir director’s ego is a bad idea… Woah, wandered way off the subject here… Where was I…)

Let me toss in a post on the topic of “duodecimalism.”

----

Most anthropologists agree that our preference for a decimal (or “base-10”) numeral system is due to early humans learning to count by using their fingers. For the most part, my only exposure to the concept has been from small mentions in books or conversations where people have noted that since 12 is divisible by more numbers than 10, it would’ve been a lot easier for early humans to develop our mathematical thinking if we had 12 fingers instead.

It turns out, a lot of people have given it a lot of thought over the years. The idea carries so much merit—thanks to contributions like F. Emerson Andrews’ 1936 book New Numbers: How Acceptance of a Duodecimal Base Would Simplify Mathematics--that a few organized “Dozenal Societies” have been formed, with the purpose of furthering our knowledge of the usefulness of duodecimalism, and helping to promote public awareness of its advantages. (See the Dozenal Society of America and the Dozenal Society of Great Britain.)

Today, the binary (base-2) and hexadecimal (base-16) systems are familiar to many people because modern computers rely on an on-or-off way of measuring the value of something being stored, which is why any “power of 2” numeric systems are more useful in that field. But the advent of computing was certainly not the first situation where people have explored other numerical systems. There is evidence showing the Mayans once worked with a base-20 system, and the Babylonians apparently had reason to work with a base-60 system. The duodecimal system was examined in depth over 300 years ago when mathematicians ran into certain limitations with the decimal system. So what makes the base-12 system so attractive?

First and foremost, the number 12 is more composite. It is the smallest number with four divisors: 2, 3, 4, and 6. The number 10 has only two divisors: 2, and 5. This makes the number 12 much more practical when we have to split it up in different ways. We wouldn’t need to use as many fractional notations for some of the most common ways of dividing, particularly the five most elementary fractions (1⁄2, 1⁄3, 2⁄3, 1⁄4 and 3⁄4). For example, in our base-10 system we have to use the unattractive, imprecise decimal of 0.333333 to express one-third.

It would also be easier to tell time. The number of minutes in the hour and hours in a day are all based on the number 12, but when we read a clock the minute hand points to a number that has to be multiplied by five.

Measuring time is one example of many where we seem to be at odds with nature when it comes to the loss of that last digit back in the Devonian period. For example, there are 12 months in the year, and our day is measured in 2 sets of 12. (And yes, there’s no way I was going to leave that “digit” pun out of this.)

Here are some other cases where nature seems to prefer the number 12 over the number 10:
• Twelve signs in the zodiac.
• Twelve lunar cycles in a year.
• The human body has 12 cranial nerves.
• Twelve is the number of pitch classes in an octave, not counting the duplicated (octave) pitch.

I suppose it wouldn’t be difficult to go find just as many cases where nature does things in tens. So those interesting observations are more trivial to the case. More intriguing perhaps, is observing all the ways in which the duodecimal way of thinking as already bled into our lives.


----

At this point I think I should stop and point out the obvious here. This was a wimpy attempt at choir practice. After taking a little time to read a couple web pages and trying to creatively regurgitate some of the things I read, it is now a lot more obvious to me what you are talking about when you say you're not interested in book reports. So I should just stop there. It's a big difference between this, and developing a comprehensive understanding of something.

To get anywhere close to a more comprehensive understanding I think I would need to grab Andrews' book and chew that up, and find lots of things from A.C. Aitken and chew those up, just to scratch the surface. Then I'll need to absorb most of the material at those Dozenal Society web pages. I'm definitely curious to know more about "the higher regularity of observable common patterns in the duodecimal multiplication table." I also think it's critical to understand the arguments and experiments that have been put forth to explain why a child might be able to learn a base-12 numbering system faster and more easily than base-10.

I guess the question I want to stop and ask is, do you think this would be a decent subject to devote a choir practice essay on? Or is this perhaps, as Robert Doniger in Crichton's novel Timeline would say, "Nah, that's non-core."

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Joe:

Yeah, numbers are non-core for now. I was just writing over here about the games being played on Wall Street, and how the smart boys there have made one hell of a rigged game with clever computer programs, and the ideological underpinnings get into arcane calculus, which seems intended the obscure the nature of the game.

Recently, I have been writing about Urantia and Michael, and just today, in Hoodwin's book, I was reading Michael responding to a question about the Urantia material and the idea that this is the twelfth universe that the Tao has made so far. Michael thought that the idea might have merit, but he would have to study it far more to venture an opinion. Hoodwin remarked that the Michael material was oriented in systems of seven (which have special meaning in our universe), and that other universes could be oriented around different numbering systems, and systems based on twelve do come up. I agree that numbers can be important, to a degree, but they are more frameworks than intrinsically important. What is most important is what happens within the frameworks.

One chapter in Hoodwin's book was on soul ages, progressions, and the planetary shift that we are in the midst of. Michael is very clear that the transition from a Young Soul world to a Mature Soul world is the greatest that any ensouled species ever makes, as it turns the corner from the outward focus to the inward focus. As Michael has often stated, for species like ours that can manipulate our environment, a third of the time, we don't make it. In that planetary transition section (pages 230-233), Michael discussed the welcome transition to a mature soul world, but ended the paragraph with:


"So this step in your growth will be most welcome, provided you do not destroy the surface of the planet first. That is a very real danger."


That is what my work is intended to help prevent. Also, I am trying to open the door in as many minds as I can to this potential future. I know that the tools to get there already exist on Earth. What is lacking is integrity, imagination, and courage. While my work is certainly wide-ranging, those are the goals I am aiming for, and the wide-ranging nature is for a few reasons. One is so that readers will be able to see the forest for the trees and distinguish the wheat from the chaff. A comprehensive perspective will do that, but it is not easily achievable.

My public threads here and elsewhere are for choir tryouts. The subjects in my big essay are what I am interesting in discussing, choir-wise. I have recently written on some of the coaching that I am doing. One thing that choir members will do is tell their story of how they came here. Those are important for a few reasons. One is that it is the most authentic thing that any of us can write about, and another is that we will all see that our journeys were not so different. One person I am coaching gave me several topics that he thought that he could write about that could be choir-ish, and I noted which ones were the best to start with. Then I will help with his outline of it, will provide feedback on drafts, and when we both think it is up to snuff, it will be published, most likely in my forum. I will help him find his voice. Again, I encourage Avalonians who want to be in the choir to use this thread to tell their stories, particularly in how it can help them sing the song. I have given many choir Q&As here so far, but what I am really looking for are good discussions.

Joe, you have asked for clarification several times on subjects in my essay, and I was happy to reply. When you finish my big essay, you will have literally thousands of topics to choose from, to bring your own unique perspective to, and you will see if you can hit some notes while dealing with the material. I look forward to hearing those notes, and you are welcome to PM me and I can guide you. But I think that you will need to finish the essay and then masticate it for a while. I have had readers finish it and then let it settle for months before they had anything to say. That is actually the kind of response that I am looking for: going deep and letting it settle. If a person has the vaguest understanding of what that essay is really about, they should be speechless for some time after finishing. As I edit my essay for the umpteenth time, the nature of the essay overwhelms even me, but in a good way.

The people I seek will find so much to chew on in that essay that they can never finish chewing. They will find the subjects that most attract them, and they are welcome to try hitting notes that the choir needs to hear and make. The notes will be loving, thoughtful, and so on. Again, after 40 years of this journey, these qualities, with extremely few exceptions, are those that the singers are going to have. But there is no rush. I have budgeted the rest of my life's "spare" time to recruiting and training the choir, although the sense of urgency that can come from that sobering comment by Michael about destroying the planet before we turn the corner is understandable. But I have been part of efforts of desperation, and they do not go anywhere. I have designed what I am doing so that rushing out and "doing something" is not in the plan. Only after years of singing and hitting the notes in harmony will "action" even be in the plan. My effort really has not even begun yet.

Back to editing.

Best,

Wade

Wade,

Since you are using a musical analogy a choir musically speaking is a vast dictatorship with the conductor of said choir the absolute master of the music. With little room for an individual to interpret.

Its simply a gig that I am not interested in....

I was involved with a mass dictatorship with my former employer....

The music that a choir presents is an interpretation of very classical music yet the performance of which is based on very skilled individuals who are members of said choir and that knowledge of how to sing is passed on down from old to young all with the intent to preserve the great created body of music.

And to your fine work I have as I told you avoided many pitfalls of the alternative media including Avalon and so your work represents the finest of classical studies on the planet and many must learn to sing these tunes to become real human beings.

If we as humans are to create something new then we must learn from our past masters and move forward to create something new and positive and so as I read the alternative media I sense that its all about the same old methods of control and they expect the same go around I guess and so what am I saying?

I am opting out of the deal....

The game is rigged so I do not wish to play anymore....

Wade, you want a personal story?

How about the sport of cycling and my involvement with it....

and how weird....spinning wheel came up in my itunes that is playing as I write this post...

Were you aware that in the cycling community that many small business leaders ride supper high end bicycles in "racing" groups for promotion and networking?

They call it the new golf

and the American country club republicans have taken to the sport and made it into a kind of sick sess pool and I am the kind of guy that always reminds them about Greg Lemond!

Its all too good....

I am kind of a Dave stoller kind of guy form the seventies as far as cycling goes...you know how just riding down the road upon ones own power and the freedom that that represented to me at least....

The simple sport of riding a simple bicycle has been hijacked by corporate America in that they promote cycling race culture as the end all of cycling activities and so it is now only the sport of the over 40 crowd who look at and participate in this sort of thing.

Where do the young cyclists gather?

Let me tell you where they gather...

Its called Gravel Grinding...

I did four of these events last year and all of them except for one and due to bad weather had 500 or more cyclists mostly in there twenties and many many women....

I was just an old dinosaur enjoying a ride on some gravel yet I am still a fast dinosaur

My cycling club has become overrun with the "tea party" republican small business pull yourself up by your boot straps type of bull****...

Give me gravel over Lance Armstrong any day...

I am just going to say it...

The finest site upon the internet is right here wade....

if you are not terrified you are an idiot...

thanx

[Wade Frazier]

Hi all:

I have had recent encounters with various fringe people who deny that some well-known 20th-century events really happened, such as that Project Apollo really landed men on the Moon and that the Jewish Holocaust really happened. People who do that are what I call conspiracists. My life's work was targeted by what may be history's greatest conspiracy, which is all about keeping control over humanity. It is related to the UFO/ET cover-up. I am well aware that conspiracies in fact exist, but the big difference between me and conspiracists is that they see nearly everything that happens in the world as the result of some kind of conspiracy. Conspiracies are the explanatory framework that they see the world through. It is highly simplistic, and appeals to the uneducated, unintelligent, and paranoid. I have seen many fellow travelers fall into the conspiracist trap (which can be very seductive), to one degree or another, including Dennis and Brian, and have watched people claw their way out of those traps, with varying levels of success. I have seen people get stuck there and watched them go insane. In short, conspiracists think like victims, seeing the world's woes as being due to the actions of a handful of "bad apples" who victimize the rest of us "good people." It is a highly delusionary mindset.

In my public interactions, I have encountered Holocaust Denial numerous times, and especially lately. Last night, I visited my library and read Filip Müller's Eyewitness Auschwitz, which was his account of three years spent building and operating the gas chambers and ovens at Auschwitz. My reading experience last night was partly a reaction to encountering a Holocaust Denier who was cocksure about his position and even fancied himself to be a scholar. In my personal library, my World War II and Holocaust section is comprised of scores of books, nearly a bookcase full, and Eyewitness Auschwitz is just one of numerous Holocaust accounts that I have digested over the years. I could write at length about Müller's book and his many experiences that I have encountered in other accounts. To call his book harrowing would be an understatement. He was one of the few who saw the horrors of Auschwitz, operating the gas chambers and ovens, and lived to tell about it. Instead of dismantling the truly insane arguments of Holocaust Deniers, I am going to do something that I never quite did before, and write about my journey in studying man's inhumanity to man. It has been quite a trip.

I have written plenty about my childhood, from being recognized as mentally gifted from an early age to being raised by a tabloid-reading mother and racist and bigoted father. I am a member of history's most privileged demographic group: white, educated, male, American Baby Boomer. Nobody ever had it better than us, and I am not complaining, but it was also a mixed bag. When our family moved back from Houston, after my father's misadventure at NASA, the USA's attack on Southeast Asia was peaking. The Civil Rights Era was also peaking. The murders of John Kennedy, his brother Bobby, and Martin Luther King, Jr., the deaths of those Apollo 1 astronauts, and the mayhem of the Civil Rights Era and the Vietnam War were memorable events from my childhood. In the fourth grade, our class had an art project in which we cut and pasted pictures from magazines into a paper mache collage. I was nine in early 1968 and probably had the "fascination" with blood and guts that most nine-year-old boys have, but from the assembled magazines (mostly Life, as I recall) I was able to make a collage from the magazines of bloodied people, dead and dying, and my cutout letters from the magazines spelled my "masterpiece's," title: "Death are Them." I still think about that "art" project at times. It was a sign of the times.

But I largely grew up happy, living in that suburban idyll. My high school and college years were the happiest multi-year stretch of my lifetime, in what I think of as my days of innocence. By college graduation, I had largely put the racism and bigotry of my upbringing behind me and was thrust into the urban hell of Los Angeles, after doing all that I could to avoid it. In retrospect, I can tell that my "friends" were setting me up for my journey, and working in Skid Row Los Angeles was one hell of a wake-up call. During those days in Skid Row, a few nights a week I went to movies in either Westwood or Beverly Hills, which were both only ten minutes or so from my home in Culver City. Growing up in the shadow of Hollywood like I did made me a movie junkie. In my old age, I still quest after transcendent movie experiences (as does the world's richest man), but I do not go see a movie unless it is excellent. I simply do not have the time to waste, but when I was a young man, the movie-going experience was one of my happiest times. In LA, half of my friends were in the entertainment industry or trying to get into it, from musicians, writers, and actors to managers, directors, and producers. I got to know a lot about the industry. Running into Hollywood celebrities was a common occurrence.

When I moved to Seattle out of college, and in the year I met Dennis, there was a series of art house movie theaters in Seattle. They still exist, but in my increasing deafness, I only go a theater that has closed captioning devices, which is where I ran into Bill Gates.

I have also written about reading the newspaper daily for more than 20 years, from age nine or so, until I finally understood the game. In my LA days, my first foray into the "alternative" media was subscribing to the Christian Science Monitor, and I read it daily, thinking that I was getting the "news." Was I ever in for an education.

When I rescued that hooker from her "customer," it was another larger-than-life event that my "friends" thrust me into, and my spiritual work in my LA days, including deathbed situations, were hints of where I was heading. I can tell that it was all preparation for meeting Dennis.

When I lived in Seattle in 1986, working for Dennis, I went to movies in those art houses until my money ran out, and in early 1986 I watched Shoah, which was one of the most unique movie experiences of my life. It is a nine-hour documentary, and the art house played it over three days. I have never watched a movie that way before or since. As I look back, I think that it was the first time that I ever really immersed myself in the Jewish Holocaust like that. Of the death toll of nearly six million Jews, about half had lived in Poland, where most of the death camps were. About 90% of Poland's Jews died in the Holocaust, and as I recall, Poland was the focus of Shoah. This is a long introduction to the fact that Müller was featured in Shoah. After reading his book last night, I looked him up on the Internet and saw that he was in Shoah, but I admit that recollecting his interview is fuzzy for me. What was more memorable were interviews of one of the German death camp guards and a boy who grew up in the one of the death camps who survived because he had a good singing voice, so the Germans used him for his voice. But probably the most haunting part of Shoah, for me, was when the filmmakers visited neighborhoods in Poland where Jews once lived. The Polish people happily helped hunt down Jews and get the spoils of their lives, including their homes. Like everybody else in the West, Poland had a hand in the Holocaust. One man interviewed in Shoah, who had Jewish friends as a child, was saddened that they were all gone, but what was most memorable about Shoah to me was a group of women who lived in that former Jewish neighborhood, and one in particular made it very clear that she did not care at all about the Jews who died, and she was very happy that they were gone. She kind of joked about it. That may have been the most horrifying part of the movie.

My wild ride with Dennis began soon after that experience, and four years later, my life was shattered, I was radicalized, and I began hitting the books. When I decided to sacrifice my life to give Dennis a snowball's chance, which incredibly worked, Gary Wean was a big reason why I adopted my strategy, and I can only be grateful. Because of Dennis's redneck heritage and Christian Fundamentalism, plenty of people attracted to our efforts were from a similar background, and my days with Dennis were when I was introduced to conspiratorial literature. I digested a lot of it, as we were in the middle of being wiped out by an undeniable conspiracy. Dennis has been quite the conspiracist ever since, and while I studied plenty of conspiratorial literature, most did not really hold up very well. Gary ran into Jewish gangsters in his adventures (and they tried to kill him), and they definitely played a part in JFK's murder, but Gary's book may have been the first time that I read of somebody denying that the Jewish Holocaust happened. It was puzzling at first.

When I moved to Ohio and began hitting the books, I also began seeing arguments that we never landed men on the Moon and that the Apollo Program was all an elaborate hoax. As I look back, those faked moon landing and fake Holocaust efforts were my introduction to that brand of "scholarship." I ended up studying the faked moon landings evidence. None of it held up to scrutiny, and I found positive evidence that the moon landings were genuine. I sadly was never able to get Brian over the hump on it. If he had done the work, he would have. But there was never any doubt in my mind that the Jewish Holocaust really happened, but I studied that "scholarship," too, and gradually became appalled by it. What a load of bilge. I can kind of understand the conspiracist mindset that denies that we landed on the moon. I consider it a close cousin to people who still think that Earth is flat, but wrapping my mind around people who deny that the Jewish Holocaust never happened was quite an exercise. However, in the end, it was no different than Americans who deny the Indian Holocaust and the continuing holocaust that the USA is inflicting on the world's peoples, and that was where my studies of man's inhumanity to man became rather intense. My wife has suffered quite a bit as I performed such studies over the years, as the emotional toll on me can be immense.

As I have noted, seeing The New York Times simply make up "translations" of Arabic script as it went along, as an anti-Arab frenzy was being whipped up in the USA, was one of my most memorable moments of awakening to how the media really operates. It was not long before I read Ralph McGehee's memoirs, and I worked in Columbus, Ohio in 1992, during the celebration of Columbus's glorious feat of "discovering" the Western Hemisphere. In that year, while reading Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, I encountered the first information that challenged the USA's narrative that Columbus was a great hero of exploration. In that same year of 1992, I read David Stannard's American Holocaust. It was my big wakeup call on what the "settling" of the Western Hemisphere by Europe was really like. That was when I really began going deep on the American history that I was not taught in school. Not only was Stannard's American Holocaust a devastating piece of scholarship, it was also the first time that I read anything that challenged the Junípero Serra the Saint narrative that I was raised with. When I made that "Death are Them" collage in fourth grade, it was at Junípero Serra Elementary School, in the first few months that it was open. As a fourth grader, I won the school's first spelling bee, for the first of many academic feats of my lifetime.

All these years later, I still pull down American Holocaust and read passages from it, as well as Ward Churchill's A Little Matter of Genocide, and publishing that book cost Churchill his career. By the time that the USA invaded Iraq on its genocidal quest for oil, I was all-too-familiar with the game being played, in humankind's evil treatment of each other, and my great nation has been leading the way ever since it dropped atom bombs on Japan.

I have written that I stumbled into the Velikovsky controversy in 1995, and am still on the fringes of it today. Dennis was stationed in Germany when he was in the army, and he eventually married a Jewish woman. When his youngest daughter reached adulthood and Dennis had a little downtime between stints as the Indiana Jones of Free Energy, she wanted to tour the death camps, and they did a death camp tour of Europe around the year 2000. I visited Dachau in 1974, so knew what they were in for, but it was important for Dennis's daughter to do it. One day, she and I might talk about the experience, and when I saw Dennis in 2013, he told me about it. One of his lessons for her was to look around at the people in Germany, Poland, and vicinity and realize that it was people just like them who herded the Jews into the camps and exterminated them. As Dennis has told me, people are the same everywhere. The lesson was not what evil people Europeans were, but what people are capable of doing to each other.

I recently wrote a series of posts on distinguishing the wheat from the chaff on the fringes and elsewhere, and I made a post on the subject matter that my readers had to leave at the door if they were going to be able to help me in my work. You can see that I did not even list arguments that the Jewish Holocaust was faked, as that was so far over the crazy line that I did not feel that it was worth bringing up, but I was recently reminded that that craziness is alive and well in cyberspace. Many fringe enthusiasts are unwilling or incapable of sifting the wheat from the chaff and believe any old tabloid lie that is dressed up like "scholarship" that aligns with their twisted worldview. I do not have the time or energy to entertain those delusions, and I will quickly show people the door who are in thrall to those malignant fairy tales. Those people cannot help me, and I cannot help them.

The processes of science and scholarship, if their limits are understood, work, and are worthy avenues for pursuing the truth. They are really not all that hard to understand for people who put their minds to it, but it takes integrity and self-discipline, of the kind that relatively few people seem willing or capable of mustering, but those are minimum requirements for what I have in mind.

Hi all:

This is a public service announcement. These days, I am hearing from many people who react to my "choir" idea and misrepresent what I am doing, either out of ignorance, lack of discernment, or malice. I am not sure what it is, but maybe it is because that what I am doing is so unusual that almost nobody can really wrap their minds around it. I find the reactions very similar to people's reactions to the idea of free energy that I have received since the 1980s, in which denial and fear are the most common responses. Even the stupidest of us quickly realizes, on some level, that free energy means the end of the world as we know it, and I have been the target of attacks, smear campaigns, trolls, and the like for nearly the entire time of my presence on the Internet since 1996, and it almost all comes from anonymous cowards, some of whom are professionals.

I decided, back in 2007, when the trolls and my "allies" prevailed once again over me in cyberspace, that I would no longer participate in any forum that I did not run. In 2007, Brian O'Leary began coming back into my life, and I began doing public interviews because of him. The first was in early 2008, and the second was a year later with Brian, Bill Ryan, and Kerry Cassidy, partly because Bill had read my writings back in 2001 or so.

In 2007, I began studying in earnest for what became my big essay. I began collaborating with Brian again and became his biographer, and I was very pleasantly surprised that Bill learned the same lessons that I did about all-comers forums comprised of anonymous members, and he began his current Avalon forum. I joined in January 2011 and have been there ever since. Soon, Scott was interviewing me, and all in all, Avalon has been a good experience for me, and Scott invited me into his forum and I joined it, fishing for singers. I need some way for the public to contact me, and those forums are the primary ways that they can, and many joined Avalon just to interact with me, and it has generally been a good experience.

I did mount my own forum, last year, and am training members for the choir today. My choir idea is really pretty simple: help people attain comprehensive understandings of how the world works via honest, intelligent, and informed discussion of my work, and the material in my big essay in particular. I am aiming for the kinds of discussions that scientists and scholars have, not New Age and conspiracist gossip or the latest viral clip at YouTube. The subject matter in my big essay has never been discussed before in the history of the world in the way that I intend for the "choir" to do it. I am not trying to found a cult, seek Rush-Limbaugh-esque ditto heads who agree with me on everything and treat me like some kind of hero, or engage in the meaningless chatter that dominates nearly all Internet forums today. I am doing something different. I find some who have a lot of what I am looking for, but they are few and far between. That is just the nature of the beast, and no judgment is implied. I seek the extremely few people who can lay aside their scarcity-based ideologies and conditioning long enough so that they can glimpse what a world based on abundance can look like, and who do the work so that they can attain comprehensive understandings of the important issues. My site was the course that I wrote to help people achieve those understandings.

I am resuming my career this week, and the gig that I am beginning might only last a few months or might last the rest of my career. My time is about to become far more limited and I simply will not have the time, energy, or interest to interact with people who are not doing the work to understand the material in my "course." So, on all of my threads in cyberspace, most participants need to raise their games if they want me to interact with them, and my fuse is now rather short for people who stumble into my threads and want to "enlighten" me on the New Age and conspiracist flavor of the day or the latest cute YouTube clip. I am more looking for people who want to discuss the latest scientific papers that are related to my work, as far as "news" goes, but what I am really looking for are honest, intelligent, and informed discussions of the material on my website, and especially the essay that it cost me more than $1 million to write. Little else has my interest, and I am not going to be putting up with anything less for very long on my threads.

Here is to productive discussions.

Best,

Wade

Wade Frazier, Post #4850 : “In my public interactions, I have encountered Holocaust Denial numerous times, and especially lately. Last night, I visited my library and read Filip Müller's Eyewitness Auschwitz, which was his account of three years spent building and operating the gas chambers and ovens at Auschwitz... […] ...When I lived in Seattle in 1986, working for Dennis, I went to movies in those art houses until my money ran out, and in early 1986 I watched Shoah, which was one of the most unique movie experiences of my life.”

Thank you for that post Wade.

The wikipedia page on Filip Müller describes part of his experience with the gas chambers, explaining that his job after the mass gassings took place was to go into the gas chambers with his co-workers and sort through the bodies by size and fat content “to further maximize how many bodies could be burned per hour.” It goes on to quote his account of what a girl said to him, as he attempted to commit suicide by joining a group who were entering a chamber.

It reads:

“"We understand that you have chosen to die with us of your own free will, and we have come to tell you that we think your decision is pointless: for it helps no one." She went on: "We must die, but you still have a chance to save your life. You have to return to the camp and tell everybody about our last hours," she commanded. "You have to explain to them that they must free themselves from any illusions. They ought to fight, that's better than dying here helplessly. It'll be easier for them, since they have no children. As for you, perhaps you'll survive this terrible tragedy and then you must tell everybody what happened to you." (Müller, 1979, p. 113)”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filip_Muller

I felt very moved as I read that part.

If people aren't prepared to listen to the witness testimony of those who've endured horrific events, we are more likely due to repeat the experiences of our ancestors, despite how they whisper in our ears. To some, your determination to keep your choir focused and low-profile (rather than trying to hastily involve the masses, due to a shared disdain for oppression and common belief in equality) could be seen as limiting the choir to a whisper, rather than filling the ranks and sounding loudly. But the point you keep raising about examining evidence in depth makes sense.

Not that long ago I listened to a well-known and respected alternative news interviewer conduct an interview with a Nazi apologist, and I was taken aback by the lack of questioning directed at the guest. Instead there seemed to be an admiration for his non-mainstream perspective. It seems to be one of the pitfalls of fringe journalism, that people sometimes latch onto or side with a voice of dissent, simply because of a shared wish to expose the corrupted nature of mainstream perspective in general.

The growing interest in exposing the lies and agendas of what many believe are Zionist cabals, or Jewish banking interests, is leading some into a confused realm of equating Nazi-apologists with oppressed innocents. If powerful interests use the Jewish holocaust to silence political opponents, and/or use their power to suppress the publicising of other genocidal events, that shouldn't be confused with thinking the events they focus on are purely their own fabrications for their own nefarious ends. To allow that confusion would seem to be falling ignorant in just one of many ways that manipulators will be happy to use against you.

Weakness, psychopathy and delusion, vulnerability to manipulation, are human potentials – whether the beneficiary of our ignorance is a prominent Zionist, Nazi, or relatively unknown neighbour in our local community whose race, gender or religious persuasion is incidental.

I gather the documentary you mentioned, Shoah, received criticism for failing to mention the significant number of Polish people who rescued Jews. All that tells me is that it is one piece of evidence to be examined, rather than an emotional tome to be consumed without balance. But that's just basic common sense. There were also Germans who took risks in rescuing Jews, like Karl Plagge, who apparently used his position as a staff officer in the Heer to employ and protect over a thousand Lithuanian Jews.

The sooner we realise that these are human issues - that people often turn on each other due to scarcity (a weakness Hitler and countless others play upon), and that a technological solution to scarcity exists which enables us to move forward creatively instead of backwards – the better off we will be.

And as you keep reiterating, the solution is both technological and spiritual. Which seems another way of saying physical as well as spiritual. That would seem to apply to all of us, unless we are committed to spending our lives trying to escape physical existence, rather than learn to embrace it.



P.S. I realise the above may not be a choir-level offering, but hopefully it's not out of place, as a response to what you wrote.

Good wishes

Hi Melinda:

I mentioned the "heroes" of the Holocaust in my work, and there weren't many. The heroic Swiss border guard had his life wrecked for saving thousands of Jews by "his own people." The "Heroes of the Holocaust" were few and far between. The Holocaust was a societal failure in the West of immense proportions. I saw an interview of Terry Gilliam not long ago, and he spoke of the Holocaust and spoke out against Schindler's List. He said that Spielberg emphasized some hero's tale that saved Jews, when there is really almost nothing about the Holocaust worth celebrating. Gilliam thought that turning that immense mass murder into some glory story about the guy who cared is completely missing the point of the Holocaust and the lessons to be learned from it, and I agree. Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan was a celebration of war. Yes, Shoah was only one piece of "evidence," but there are a million others. There is not much uplifting about the Holocaust, and the USA sure learned nothing from it, nor have most Israelis, as they are doing to the Palestinians today what Hitler did to the Jews in the 1930s. Heck, what Israel is doing today qualifies as a genocide, and the USA has been inflicting genocides across the world ever since World War II. Hitler developed his plans for Eastern Europe from studying the English-American experience in North America.

My choir idea is about hitting the notes, not the numbers. Yes, you are seeing the uncritical acceptance of anything that is not an official pronouncement, and all sorts of crazies work the fringe circuit and the fringe crowd laps it all up. It is really a dismaying spectacle. The braying of that herd is not going to get anything of importance done. The numbers will come in time, but if the singers are not hitting the notes, it is just one more fringe flavor of the day, and we already have plenty of them.

Best,

Wade

Thanks Wade. I do understand that, and it's important to remember. I can see Gilliam's point. My point was simply that :

1) Economic scarcity can lead to people, regardless of race, nationality or other labels, acting horrendously
2) But even when all around are losing their way under those pressures, there are some, albeit rare beacons of light, who still choose to do what is right rather than give into fear/hatred, which reminds us that ultimately it is a choice
3) Using what one piece of evidence lacks as an excuse to ignore its substance is counter-productive

On that last point, it only seems to reiterate why - for a historical perspective to be formed in a worthwhile way - it requires the work put in.

On the matter of doing what's right, Karl Plagge (for example) could have deserted the army in order to have no association with it, and by doing so risked his life in a way that might have seemed more honourable to some. But by choosing to stay he was reportedly able to save over a thousand lives. War, and scarcity, create grey and muddy areas for our principals, which is of benefit to those calling the shots from positions of safety, who stand to gain from our involvement.

To really strike at the heart of a threat, prevention is better than cure. To paraphrase what Einstein reportedly said, a warless world will be one where the youth refuse military service. As you continually reiterate though, that world stands a far better chance of coming to pass if we address the roots of scarcity with new and revolutionary energy solutions.

On Gilliam - I remember an interview where he said that he'd been advised by others to compromise. To make the film or films Hollywood wanted him to make, so that he could use the success from that as leverage in the industry to later make the films he really wanted to. He said the problem with that was, if he gave in, by the time he'd finished making the film Hollywood wanted, he wouldn't be the same man – and resultantly, the film of his own that he truly cared to make, wouldn't be the same as it would have been if he'd made it without first going astray.

Considering that outlook would seem relevant for those inventors who try to enlist the benevolent benefactors you keep warning people of. Although film directing may not be life-risking in quite the same, or such obvious ways.

Thanks for the concise reply.

...It was not that the inventor's comprised their principles, as Gilliam refused to do, but they had no idea what game they were getting into...

Thanks Wade.

That was my point. That if they had a better idea of how they or their work would be stolen or compromised, they might not waltz into the lion's den and (in worse case scenarios) pay for it with their lives. Even Tesla was turned on by his benefactor. Even if you try to get funding, and come out relatively unscathed, your faith and motivation may be damaged beyond repair by the experience of the world not receiving your efforts supportively, or of the sponsors you're contracted to stifling anything truly revolutionary. Inventors need funding, and applying for patents from authorities can backfire, despite seeming like the only route to protecting yourself. But it's not as if anyone here needs reminding of the dangers. I'm just clarifying, since I may not have been very clear. Maybe I'm still not. But it's likely not adding anything, so I'll leave it there, instead of drawing it out in another post.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Melinda:

It would take days to provide a good response, but briefly…

As you note, Uncle Al's "Just say no" advice is a nice idea, but as Uncle Bucky said, as long as there is scarcity, we will have wars. Scarcity is the problem. The ideological conditioning and socialization are dependent on the economic reality, always. All wars for all time have had an ultimate economic motivation. There are no exceptions that I know of, other than arguing for prestige reasons, but that has an underlying economic reason, too. So it is, in a world of scarcity.

On the "heroic" choice, I know of nobody on Earth who has embodied it better than Dennis has. All of my fellow travelers that I respected, to one degree or another, made that choice. I know it well, and yes, the Holocaust provided opportunities to stand up for the light, and about 0.01% of the population did. The Jews actually have a book of gentile heroes of the Holocaust, and it totals about 20,000 people, or about 0.01% of the people, at most, who did something about it when they had a chance. Of those 20,000, I am not sure of the numbers, but I believe that most of them did not help random Jews, but Jews they knew. They helped their neighbor/friend/colleague/relative, etc. Of the Schindler types, you could almost count them on one hand (not literally, but it was a vanishingly small number), which is why a movie was made about him.

On inventors, benefactors, and the Hollywood Game, they are related, but maybe not quite like you think. The small time entrepreneurial waters and the Hollywood milieu are similar in that they are shark tanks, and those inventors believed the Hollywood version of capitalism, so they kept waltzing right into the lions' den. Heck, almost all normal inventors get screwed out of their inventions, never mind FE inventors. It was not that the inventor's comprised their principles, as Gilliam refused to do, but they had no idea what game they were getting into. They believed the fairy tales. Again, we all get taught them. Dennis and Sparky both thought that they would get ticker-tape parades for bringing the world what it said was so desperately needed. They found out differently.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Attached is a pic from this afternoon's hike. It might be the last weekday afternoon hike that I get to do for a long time. As I was walking in that outdoor cathedral, a stream of teenagers began running toward me. They are from the local high school, and they run on the mountain, which is next to their school. Where else in the world can you do that? Not many places. I will never fail to appreciate being able to hike and being able to hike in stuff like that.

I am probably not going to get my next version of my essay published this month, but I plan for it to be in April. Again, the differences between the current version and the next one will be pretty subtle. No radical changes, but most grammar, punctuation, typos, and a little new material that readers of this thread will be familiar with.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

One prominent theme in my work is how people get stuck in their perspectives, and how those perspectives usually have little or nothing to do with their experiences, but what they were told about how the world works. In other ways, people can have very limited experience and think that their limited view has something to do with the bigger picture of how the world works. If they ever get out of their easy chairs, they will hack at branches at most, because they are so deluded that they do not even know that there is a root.

As a schoolboy, I received heavy indoctrination into the "heroes" of American history, and was trained to worship a flag. Most of those so-called heroes were mass murdering thieves who you would not want over for dinner. I also received scientific training, and even that was replete with fairy tales. My father's life was saved by a booklet that was banned in the USA. A generation after being banned, the medical establishment has now embraced that banned information and the suppressed pioneers will obviously never be "rehabilitated." That is not how it works in the real world.

My mystical awakening and a paranormal event changed my studies from science to business, and I became an accountant. I took economics classes and was indoctrinated into the wonders of capitalism. I later discovered that my economic training was filled with as many fairy tales as my earlier indoctrinations. Modern economic theory turned greed into a virtue and ignores the real world, which runs on energy and always has. It instead promotes dubious social theories of equilibrium and free markets. There has never been a free market in world history. Several years into my career, after years of cognitive dissonance and eventually radicalization, I came to realize that my profession was worthless. In theory, my profession could help make the capital markets play on a level playing field with accurate information guiding investment decisions, but there was a fatal conflict of interest that remains to this day, and I have to believe that it is intentional. We were completely toothless regulators, essentially cops on the take, employed by the very people we were supposedly regulating, and we turned a blind eye to the crimes for our cut. Several scandals later, the situation is unchanged, as another disaster looms.

In my last year in college, my department head (and was his tutor and paper grader), told a "joke" in my last accounting class before graduation, and it went like this…


Two accountants were applying for a job, and the interviewer had one question: "What is two plus two?" The first interviewee answered "four," and was thanked for his question and the interview ended. When the second candidate was asked the same question, his answer was, "What do you want it to be?" He got the job.


I remember scratching my head at that "joke," and it did not become clear what my professor was "joking" about until seven years later. I still think back to that joke and what was really going on in my professor's head. A little warning of the reality that was ahead of us? I am not quite sure. On my first week at that university, two years previously, that same professor made a speech about how the accounting profession could regulate itself and did not need government "interference." Maybe he was experiencing his own cognitive dissonance.

Seeing how practice and theory regarding my erstwhile profession were on opposite ends of the spectrum was sobering, but also, early on I had nagging doubts about the entire framework of my economic training. It was all about money and markets, and everything used to run the system was called a "commodity." The dominant ideology was that because humans were clever at substituting one commodity for another when it ran out, that the economy was only constrained by human ingenuity. The real world, of where our energy comes from, to the environmental impacts of our economic practices, was assumed away in economic theory or called "externalities."

I discovered the hard way that there certainly are no free markets in the energy industry. I eventually learned that the global economy is controlled by seven cartels, and the idea of free markets in any of them is a farce. It took the radicalization of my journey to realize how fraudulent the "system" is, but I found that almost nobody was capable or willing to think beyond their indoctrination into how the world works. All the doomed approaches that I have tried, witnessed, or heard about in the alternative energy field all, to one degree or another reflected the popular delusions about how the world really works. The entire field has been in a state of arrested development for longer than I have been alive, and mainly because everybody believes the fairy tales, because they get fed by them. In that original thread devoted to my work at Spectrum, which I had shut down last night, those delusions are vividly evident in the posters' comments. That dead thread is a monument to the delusions and state of arrested development that we see today, and not just in the alternative energy field.

As I began hitting the books after my radicalizing experiences, in every direction I looked, the lies and fairy tales comprised a steady diet of indoctrination. I saw it in the news, in the history I was taught, and even in scientific training. In Western medicine, it could be surreal. A bona fide quack failed anatomy and never practiced medicine for a day in his life, but was the dictator of the American medical establishment for a generation, taking over for his quack mentor who ran it the generation before. He specialized in designing "research" so that cigarette companies could make medical claims for their products. He also tried to buy out the cancer cures that those cigarettes obviously caused, and then wiped out the cures if he could not buy them out. His greatest claim to fame was designing research used to promote an asbestos cigarette filter. You could not make this up if you tried. It was not until the 1980s that the AMA was finally shamed into stopping investing in tobacco farms. As the American market finally began dwindling in the greed-blinded 1980s, the Reagan administration used the threat of economic warfare to force open Asian markets to American tobacco companies. Women and children were their primary marketing targets, and they successfully addicted tens of millions of women and children to tobacco. But those days of "medicine" are not irrelevant historical curiosities. In those same days, industrial interests guided the "science" of turning a hazardous industrial waste into "medicine." It is being force-fed Americans to this day, nearly none of them are the wiser, and they will literally embrace certain death rather than question the medical situation in the USA. If I had not seen it with my own eyes many times, I would not have believed it. That hazardous industrial waste also attacks the brain, and it is legitimate to wonder if putting that brain-poison into the water supply is partly intended to keep Americans dumbed down and in a docile state, punching the clock like Orwell's proles.

The lies emanating from all directions was something to behold, for those strong enough to open their eyes and keep them open (an extremely rare quality), but what took me a long time to understand was that in that cacophony of lies, how the world works was completely lost in the mayhem. If people tried to do anything about the situation, they hacked at branches and could not even imagine that there was a root. If they thought at all about economics, it was the egocentric exchange aspect of who got what. Nobody was really thinking about where any of it came from. Children are taught that hamburgers grow in McDonald's Hamburger Patch and other corporate fairy tales. The USA could genocidally invade Earth's richest oil region and not even one pundit could mention the fact that it was all about the oil, as it has been for the past century in that region.

It took me years of cognitive dissonance, the radicalization of my adventures, and years of study to begin to see the big picture of what was really happening. When I finally completed the 2002 version of my site, one of Bucky Fuller's pupils called me a comprehensivist and I did now know what he meant. I then read some of Fuller's work and saw the point, and my work has been more consciously comprehensive ever since. I essentially began studying for writing my big essay when I read Fuller's work in early 2003, and was soon introduced to the Peak Oilers. It was refreshing to finally see somebody acknowledge the central role that energy played in the human economy. It was also interesting to see how much disdain scientists held for economists. Scientists saw economics as a wannabee science that was completely divorced from reality. It took another decade of study for it to become completely clear to me, and I had to begin wondering if those delusions taught as truth in economics classes were part of another intentional "dumbing us down" program.

The Peak Oilers not only understood that real economies ran on energy, but that history was full of civilizations that ran out of energy and collapsed. But after interacting with the world's leading Peak Oil spokesman, I realized that he was addicted to scarcity, and so was nearly everybody else. What made him a little different was that he at least seemed interested in free energy technology. I soon learned that it was a feigned interest.

The last chapter that I added to my essay was done at the request of a scientist who wanted me to make the connection between the real and financial economies clearer, because he was encountering people who could only see the economy in terms of money and could not understand why energy was relevant to humanity's wellbeing at all. That reflects the deep delusions that modern economic theory has successfully inculcated into the populace. That the father of today's clearly delusional economic theory worked for history's greatest energy mogul may not be a coincidence. I am not sure how "conspiratorial" that situation was, but it sure was an interesting "coincidence." Whatever the case was, modern economic theory is so full of fairy tales that it cannot even see the foundation that it all sits atop, which is the production, preservation, and consumption of energy, and it has been that way since the beginning of life on Earth. That is probably the main point of my big essay.

When people can develop a scientific perspective of how the world works, and avoid many of the fairy tales of science and its unproven assumptions, then the role of energy in organisms, ecosystems, and economies becomes clear, and so does the economic and environmental potential of abundant and clean energy, and the technology to produce it is older than I am, but has been sequestered for reasons of earthly power.

In finishing this post, my work is about real economics, not the fictional financial economy. I am here to help people see through the mists of delusion that have been carefully crafted for a very long time, and a lot of it was likely consciously developed population control ideological indoctrination so that people cannot see the forest for the trees.

Hi:

One last post, before I resume my career and my time for writing gets far more limited (I am about to walk out the door). When I began my career in LA, asked that Easter Bunny question and was a movie junkie, my college roommate (who became my LA roommate for my first year down there) and I saw Monty Python's The Meaning of Life in Westwood.

I walked out in a state of awe. I thought that it was their most brilliant work, and as we walked out of the movie, my roommate began telling the people in line for the next show how horrible the movie was. I was shocked, partly because that was his opinion of the movie, and second that he would do that to people waiting in line. I never asked him about it, but as I look back, we were both beginning our careers as accountants, and the movie's first theme was about accountants becoming pirates. I wonder if he was trying to tamp down his cognitive dissonance. Twenty years later he got out of accounting and now teaches high school math.

In the middle of the main movie, the pirate accountants invaded the movie and tried to take it over, and were rather harshly dealt with. But I bring up this anecdote for another reason. Just before those pirates struck in the main movie, the scene was in a corporate boardroom when the character (CEO-type) said something like, "The amazing thing is how much of the world there still is to own." My nearly photographic memory does not let me forget much, but that joke largely sailed right over my head, and it was not until many years later that I came to appreciate the joke. I was in the beginning stages of my capitalistic apprenticeship, and a joke like that sailing over my head, and me asking Easter Bunny questions around the same time, shows what a babe in the woods I was. It was that summer when my descent into the hell of Skid Row began. Until then, I was still pretty naïve.

Anyway, that anecdote is germane to this thread for a few reasons, and how we can begin naively is one of them. Naïveté is no crime, but potentially fatal in the FE pursuit. All of my fellow travelers that I respected began their journeys that way.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Just before I go to bed, I have to check links to my site to be on the lookout for singers, and just found my Columbus essay linked to by a Nation article. That is almost getting mainstream. Should I be nervous?

Good night,

Wade
