In the early 60s, psychologist Stanley Milgram
designed and conducted a series of experiments testing people's obedience to
authority. The idea was to find out whether ordinary people would go against
their own morals and administer ultimately lethal electric shocks to another
participant, simply because a man presented to them as a "scientist"
was telling them to do so.
Psychologists were asked to predict how many people
would work their way up to administering a 450 volts electric shock. Their
prediction was that hardly anyone would do it. These tests were repeated over a
period of several decades, in various social environments, with people of
different sex, age, race, education etc. In almost all of them, the results
were roughly the same. Over 50% of the participants went all the way up to 450
volts.
What happens in a society where obedience to authority
is so deeply programmed into people that it is stronger than their own morals
and common sense?
You can see the
results all around you.
If politicians declared a war and ordinary people
simply had enough common sense to not show up, there would be no wars. It's not
like the politicians would ever go to war themselves. They need slaves for
that. You. And if you believe there is no slavery and you are free, this
Invisible Slavery is working most efficiently.

ABSTRACT:The
organization of any biological system is established by a complex electrodynamic
field which is, in part, determined by its atomic physiochemical components
and which, in part, determines the behavior and orientation of these components.
The holographic model of reality emerging from this principle may provide
a scientific explanation of psychoenergetic phenomena.
"The pattern or organization of any biological system is established by a complex electrodynamic field, which is in part determined by its atomic physiochemical components and which in part determines the behavior and orientation of those components. This field is electrical in the physical sense, and by its properties it relates the entities of the biological system in a characteristic pattern and is itself in part a result of the existence of those entities. It determines and is determined by the components. More than establishing pattern it must maintain pattern in the midst of physiochemical flux; therefore it must regulate and control living things. It must be the mechanism, the outcome of whose activity is wholeness, organization and continuity. The electrodynamic field then, is comparable to the entelecy of Driesh, the embryonic field of Spehmann, and the biological field of Weiss."
Burr and Northrop, 1935
Since the dawn of time there have been two conflicting explanations for the nature and structure of the world in which we live. Those can be most simply stated as the field and the particle. These two conflicting ideas appear in Greek thought, Democritus stressing the field and Heraclitus the particle. Today, fields are stressed in relativity physics, while particles are emphasized in quantum mechanics.
Throughout
history, many attempts have been made to synthesize the field and the
particle theory. In current physics, those attempts fall under the name
of geometrodynamics (Wheeler, 1959). It is our intent in this paper to
show how a cross synthesis of particle theory and field theory will shed
new light on living processes.
Field
theory can be interwoven with particle theory in an attempt to better
understand biological processes. This effect will enable us to approach
an understanding of life because we can conceptualize all structures and
functions, all levels from the electronic to the super molecular, as one
single unit (Szent-Gyorgyi, 1960: 135).

Introduction
I first became aware of Allan H. Frey's work at Willow Grove in 1972, just after completing "The Holographic Concept of Reality." I was working with Dr. Carl Scheicher (MRU) at the time, and was asked about the significance of this work. Realizing its possible use in mind control, my first reaction was to go on "red alert."Full significance was not yet understood at this time. Basically, Frey had discovered another sensory motor input in the higher blue-band frequencies of 0.3-3.0 GHz. - at very low amplitudes of power. It was "as if" we had another type of "vision," but did not know how to "see" what was being received. It constituted the next generation of subliminal communications.My work at the time was involved with an AI database for paranormal references (Project Parafile). A second paper was also presented at the Omniversal Symposium, California State College at Sonoma, (September 29, 1973). This was titled "Embryonic Holography," and was an application of "The Holographic Concept of Reality" model. It dealt with biogenesis and neurological regeneration, and included speculation on the origins of cancer, faith healing, psychic surgery and more technical aspects of mind-body energetics.One week after the delivery of that paper, four men came into my place of business, two in suits and two in full Army dress. The two suits held me under close arrest, while the two Army personnel went through my files, pulling anything related to "Embryonic Holography." The paper was rewritten from old notes and memory, but it was not the same.What got this paper classified "top secret" for almost 20 years was that it was critical for the use of Allan Frey's study, and its possible application to mind control. I never was able to draw what was so important in that initial paper until I began researching this paper, more than 24 years later. I will discuss those aspects further into this document.In 1961, Allan Frey, a freelance biophysicist and engineering psychologist, reported that humans could hear microwaves. Most United States scientists dismissed this discovery as the result of outside noise.James C. Linn offered a more technical description of the experiment."Frey found that human subjects exposed to 1310 MHz and 2982 MHz microwaves at average power densities of 0.4 to 2 mW/cm2 perceived auditory sensations described as buzzing or knocking sounds. The sensation occurred instantaneously at average incident power densities well below that necessary for known biological damage and appeared to originate from within or near the back of the head."

GWEN: Ground Wave Emergency Network
The Ground Wave Emergency Network (GWEN) provides survivable
connectivity
to designated bomber and tanker bases. The system is in sustainment.
GWEN is designed as an ultra-high powered VLF [150-175 kHz] network
intended to survive
massive broadband destructive interference produced by nuclear EMP, and
recovering quickly from the changes imposed on radiowave propagation by
EMP-ion
damage to the upper atmosphere. A large number of the 200 GWEN relay
nodes can be destroyed without compromising the overall effectiveness of
the system.
GWEN antennae include an 8km trailing long-wire winched out of WWABNCP,
and the DARPA /Westinghouse 750-6000m tether Aerostat-Augmented balloon.
The GWEN system includes
299-foot, low-frequency (LF) antenna and an ultrahigh-frequency (UHF)
antenna located at each relay node (RN) station, and a UHF antenna
located at each input/output (I/O) station.
Although GWEN was designed to provide survivable connectivity for
time-critical force survival actions, the configuration does not meet
required availability or reliability.
As portable Milstar terminals become available in the l997-l998
time frame, STRATCOM will phase out the Ground Wave Emergency Network,
which is the only survivable link to ensure launch of ground-alert
aircraft. GWEN is Scheduled to be Replaced by SCAMP in FY99, but CINC
STRAT has maintained that GWEN can not be shut down until the
replacement system is fielded, operational, and certified. If SCAMP does
not meet schedule, GWEN may have to be operational past the year 2000.
The Federal Railroad Administration, concerned with the
importance of the inland
navigation systems to support railroad real time positioning activities,
has suggested that GWEN sites be included in the developing of inland
navigation systems. The Federal Highway Administration has agreed to
continue to investigate the utilization of the 54 GWEN sites for inland
navigation.

Hey Austin: I’m. Too.
Hot.
Are you starting to
feel the heat? Is it feeling different than just hot summer weather? Well,
thanks to our warming climate, the heat is getting worse. Scientists have found
that climate change is putting extreme heat on steroids — resulting in more
record highs than ever before and making heat waves more severe.
To draw attention to
this fact, we’ll be heading to Austin, Texas this week. Starting this
Wednesday, August 1, come meet us at our traveling ice cream truck and help
spread the word. We’ll be giving away free ice cream, cool gifts, and plenty of
information about climate change.
When you get to the
truck, all you need to do is write a quick tweet, Facebook post or foursquare
check-in that tells us how the heat has been impacting you. Use the hash tag
#ImTooHot. Then, because it really is too hot, join us for some ice cream. It’s
that easy. And while you’re out and about in Austin, check out our freestanding
wall mural, where you can add your own personalized message about how this heat
is affecting you or your community.
Worried you won’t be
able to find us? Check our Twitter feed for more details and to find out where
we’ll be through August 4. Let’s cool down together — this one’s on us.
Not in Austin? Don’t
worry, you can still join the conversation. Post your own ImTooHot stories to
Twitter or Facebook. Tag your post with your city, state or country so we can
see how climate change is impacting people all over the world. We will be
re-posting comments with the hash tag #ImTooHot to our Twitter feed. If you
want to read or share more about the extreme weather we’re seeing, check out
our blog.
Nationwide, this is
the hottest year on record to date, and for those living in Austin, 2012 is so
far the warmest year in 74 years. We can’t ignore that manmade carbon pollution
is warming our planet.
Look forward to
visiting you, Austin … next stop, Washington, D.C.!

(CNN) -- The
future of science and technology sounds so promising. Unprecedented advances in
computing, robotics, artificial intelligence, genetics, neuroscience and
biotechnology hold the potential to radically transform our world for the
better and create mass abundance for all.
I sincerely want to
believe in this techno-utopian vision of things to come, but my work as a
police officer and global security strategist working in more than 70 countries
around the world has taught me that there is a darker side to these emerging
technologies.
The criminal
underground is highly innovative and often acts as an early adopter of emerging
technologies. As a young police officer, I observed gang members and drug
dealers using beepers and mobile phones, long before they were in common use by
the general public. Today, criminals are even building their own encrypted
radio communications networks, such as the nationwide system developed by narco
cartels in Mexico.

The Coup: Reinvention
of America
Part Five
The Jigsaw Puzzle
What happened to our
government between 1990 and today is a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces of which I am
putting together for you. Our government
has been gutted from the inside out leaving behind the facade of the American
government but it's obvious from the policies and legislation coming out of
Washington DC that federal government is not American.
Article recovered
from the Alliance for Redesigning Government website:
Government in
Transition: A New Paradigm in Public Administration
This is a synopsis of
the report on the inaugural conference of CAPAM, the Commonwealth Association
for Public Administration and Management. Held in Charlotte, Prince Edward
Island, Canada, in August, 1994, Government in Transition was the first
gathering of public administrators from the 51 nations that comprise the
Commonwealth. The Commonwealth has a population of 1.5 billion and is
experiencing unprecedented political and social transitions: from single to
multi-party systems, from national to regional sovereignty, from closed to open
economies, from decreasing to exploding populations, and from apartheid to
democracy. Despite the diversity of Commonwealth countries, there is a pattern
in their responses to changes. CAPAM believes that these patterns and
transitions represent a new paradigm in public administration and hold the
promise of greater freedom of political expression and improved material
well-being.
...There are,
however, some lessons learned about the organizational dynamics that are necessary
to governmental reform. Among them:
° Some kind of shock may be needed to
force change.
° High level support is necessary to
implement reform.
° Reform programs need clear visions,
objectives and priorities.
° The organization needs its most capable
people in charge, all of its employees -- and its clients -- involved.
° Technology is not a panacea; it is a
tool.
° New systems should be tested before they
are implemented.
...The report goes on
to discuss the societal context of public management. Are successful reform
initiatives replicable across a variety of societies? Using the OECD countries,
the Asian tigers (Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong) and the developing
countries, the conference participants examined those issues.
In the OECD
countries, economists and politicians were the driving force for public
management reform. Their policies -- particularly the use of market mechanisms
and the increasing role of the private sector -- remain controversial in the
public management community. The three countries that have most fervently
embraced these new paradigms are now rediscovering the virtue of old values.
Australia is now implementing a "new professionalism" in its civil
service. New Zealand has reiterated the collective interest of government
relative to departmental autonomy and the UK has reasserted the importance of
the civil service's role as policy advisor.
Why would "some kind of
shock" be needed to force change and what kind of change are they talking
about? Obviously, if your intent is to
implement global systems of "governance" run by professional managers
trained in a communitarian system of mind control, people are going to
object. When their history, heritage and
culture are being erased or changed for no apparent reason - or for reasons
that make no sense, they will try to stop it.
When the communitarian managers hit a roadblock, they blow it up... and
then use "terrorism" as the excuse for the change they wanted to
implement anyway. And we are seeing
these changes everywhere - and nowhere. Everywhere
because our systems of government are changing - and nowhere because the changes
are administrative from the bowels of government and our institutions. To find these communist bast*rds, we have to
look at the administrative levels of government and at their front-group NGO
change agents.
Since this document
references the OECD, we'll look at them first.
It should be noted the information below was recovered from the Internet
Archive. The current OECD website has
different pages with this information but for my purposes, the archived
versions were better.
Organization for European
Co-Operation and Development (OECD)
OECD's origins
The forerunner of the
OECD was the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC), which was
formed to administer American and Canadian aid under the Marshall Plan for
reconstruction of Europe after World War II. Since it took over from the OEEC
in 1961, the OECD vocation has been to build strong economies in its member
countries, improve efficiency, hone market systems, expand free trade and
contribute to development in industrialised as well as developing countries.
After more than three
decades, the OECD is moving beyond a focus on its own countries and is setting
its analytical sights on those countries-today nearly the whole world - that
embrace the market economy. The Organisation is, for example, putting the
benefit of its accumulated experience to the service of emerging market
economies, particularly in the countries that are making their transition from
centrally-planned to capitalist systems. And it is engaging in increasingly detailed
policy dialogue with dynamic economies in Asia and Latin America.
But its scope is
changing in other ways too. The matrix is moving from consideration of each
policy area within each member country to analysis of how various policy areas
interact with each other, across countries and even beyond the OECD area. How
social policy affects the way economies operate, for example. Or how
globalisation will change the world's economies by opening new perspectives for
growth, or perhaps trigger resistance manifested in protectionism.
As it opens to many
new contacts around the world, the OECD will broaden its scope, looking ahead
to a post-industrial age in which it aims to tightly weave OECD economies into
a yet more prosperous and increasingly knowledge-based world economy.

The Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
Founded in 1961,
replacing the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC) which had
been established in 1948 in conjunction with the Marshall Plan. The main aims
of the OECD are to promote policies designed to:
• Achieve the highest
sustainable economic growth and employment and a rising standard of living in
Member countries, while maintaining financial stability, and thus contributing
to the development of the world economy.
• Contribute to sound
economic expansion in Member countries as well as non-member economies in the
process of development.
• Contribute to the
expansion of world trade on a multilateral, non-discriminatory basis in
accordance with international obligations.
At the annual meeting
of the OECD Council at Ministerial Level in 1998, Ministers agreed to interpret
the term ‘sustainable’ in the aims of the Organisation as including social and
environmental, as well as economic, considerations.
The OECD and the
Environment
Amongst the early
landmarks in the OECD's work on environmental policy was the historic
Recommendation by the OECD Council in 1972 on the 'Polluter Pays Principle'.
Complemented by the
'User Pays Principle', it is one of a number of principles which the OECD has
espoused in the last three decades to encourage the integration of
environmental and economic policy. Its focus on trade liberalisation is more
problematic for environmental organisations.
In order to better
understand how environmental and economic forces and trends interact the OECD
Environmental Outlook was prepared in 2001.
In response to the
analysis in the OECD Environmental Outlook, OECD Environment Ministers agreed,
in 2001, an ambitious Environmental Strategy for the first decade of the 21st
century. The strategy sets out clear directions for environmentally sustainable
policies and includes these key objectives:
·
maintaining the integrity of ecosystems through
the efficient management of natural resources.
·
enhancing the quality of life.
·
global environmental interdependence.
·
Improving governance and co-operation.
OECD-FAO Agricultural
Outlook 2012
This is the 18th
edition of the Agricultural Outlook and the eighth prepared jointly with the
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It brings
together the commodity, policy and country expertise of both organisations, and
input from collaborating member countries. The report provides world market
trends for biofuels, cereals, oilseeds, sugar, meats, fish and dairy products
over the 2012-2021 period and contains an evaluation of recent developments,
and key issues and uncertainties in those commodity markets. A
jointly-developed modelling system, based on the OECD’s AGLINK and on the FAO’s
COSIMO models, facilitates consistency in the projections. This edition
includes a special feature on the challenge of increasing agricultural
productivity growth in a sustainable manner.

Propaganda 104: Magica
Verba Est Scientia Et Ars Es
“Words have a magical
power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair; they
can transfer knowledge from teacher to student; words enable the orator to sway
his audience and dictate its decisions. Words are capable of arousing the
strongest emotions and prompting all men’s actions.”
– Sigmund Freud
“One man’s ‘magic’ is
another man’s engineering. ‘Supernatural’ is a null word.”
– Robert A. Heinlein
Words are magic . . .
or so it seems. Words can make people change their minds. Words can make others
take actions even against their own best interests. Words can shape the world,
determine the fate of nations and people, create and destroy. However, as
Robert Heinlein noted, one man’s magic is another man’s engineering and in the
modern world, propaganda is the most engineered form of communication possible.
Magica verba est
scientia et ars es.
The magic of words is
science and art.
The science is in the
methodology and psychology of execution. The art is in making the message
appealing. This is the essence of rhetoric. How is this so? Let us first consider the methodologies of
propaganda as a form of rhetoric before we look at the psychology behind these
tactics. Although the psychology applies to both negative (black), positive
(white) and value neutral (grey) uses of propaganda, in the context of this
portion of the discussion, the word “propaganda” should be viewed with its
maximum possible negative value load, i.e. the kind of bad propaganda designed
to get you to act against your best interests or to harm others. Why? Because
many of these tactics favored modern political polemicists are rooted in
logical fallacies and outright lies. Knowing “snakes” as a category isn’t as
useful as knowing “pit vipers” as a sub-category when the survival of the
species can be at stake so we’ll consider the dangerous kinds of propaganda
first. Why? Because if you treat all snakes like they are dangerous, then you
are less likely to get bitten.
The Façade of Reason –
The Role of Logical Fallacies in Propaganda
First, we need to
differentiate between the terms “strategy” and “tactics”. Strategy is defined in relevant part by
Webster’s as “the science and art of employing the political, economic,
psychological, and military forces of a nation or group of nations to afford
the maximum support to adopted policies in peace or war”. Tactics, by contrast, is defined in relevant
part by Webster’s as “the art or skill of employing available means to
accomplish an end” and “the study of the grammatical relations within a
language including morphology and syntax”. By better understanding the tactics
of propagandists, you not only gain a certain degree of immunity from their
influence, but insight into their strategic ends.
Many of these tactics
rely upon logical fallacies. Etymologically speaking, most everyone knows that
fallacies are falsehoods, but for the purposes of this discussion consider
again Webster’s definition in relevant part in that a fallacy is “an often
plausible argument using false or invalid inference”. This is one of the
reasons logicians are arduously trained to spot fallacies and why they are so
dangerous to the consumer. Logical fallacies but especially informal logical
fallacies can provide a façade of reason, a mask of legitimacy, to an argument
but are in fact logically and/or factually flawed. They accomplish this by
being subtle flaws and/or appealing to naturally occurring predispositions in
human psychology. This can range from being simply wrong or mistaken to
deliberate lies depending upon the speaker and their possible motivations for
inciting you to adopt their stance on an issue or in taking or failing to take
a given action. Illogic is simply illogic unless the speaker is intentionally
trying to be misleading. Not everyone who is illogical is a propagandist, but
at some level, every propagandist preys upon illogic and uses illogic as a tool
to convince you of a reality that does not exist.
By knowing the
tactics and methodology of propagandists, you can deconstruct their statements,
allowing you to sort through the truths and the lies; to think about the issues
as they are without the filter of their perceptions and goals steering your
thinking. By deconstruction of their statements, you can find the truth.
Truthful decisions, no matter how ugly the truth might be, are always better
than misinformed decisions or decisions made upon prime facie lies. Although a
famous Roman Emperor once said that truth is a perspective, he also said that .
. .
“If someone is able to show me that what I
think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which
no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his
self-deception and ignorance who is harmed.”

AOCS Goes to Washington
By Rob Gray
Public Eye
Introduction
Clothed in secrecy
since its founding in 1981, the Council for National Policy is a virtual who's
who of the Hard Right. Its membership comprises the Right's Washington
operatives and politicians, its financiers, and its hard-core religious arm.
The Hard Right
utilizes the CNP's three-times-a-year secret meetings to plan its strategy for
implementing the radical right agenda. It is here that the organizers and
activists meet with the financial backers who put up the money to carry out
their agenda.
Because CNP rules
state that "meetings are closed to the media and the general public"
and "our membership list is strictly confidential and should not be shared
outside the Council," the mainstream press knows very little about the
CNP. Through this site, and the Freedom Writer, the Institute for First
Amendment Studies is, for the first time, revealing the activities and current
membership of the Council for National Policy.
We suggest that
readers check your state list for CNP members and contact your local newspaper.
We encourage you to use our press release, "Cover Lifted on Secret
Conservative Group," available from this site.
World Council of
Churches
A worldwide
fellowship of 349 churches seeking unity, a common witness and Christian
service
Together churches can speak out with a strong voice to
promote peace, justice and care for God's creation.
conservatism
Political attitude or
ideology denoting a preference for institutions and practices that have evolved
historically and are thus manifestations of continuity and stability. It was
first expressed in the modern era through the works of Edmund Burke in reaction
to the French Revolution, which Burke believed tarnished its ideals through its
excesses. Conservatives believe that the implementation of change should be
minimal and gradual; they appreciate history and are more realistic than
idealistic. Well-known conservative parties include the British Conservative
Party, the German Christian Democratic Union, the U.S. Republican Party, and
the Japanese Liberal-Democratic Party. Christian Democracy; liberalism.
liberalism
A political ideology
centred upon the individual (see individualism), thought of as possessing rights
against the government, including rights of due process under the law, equality
of respect, freedom of expression and action, and freedom from religious and
ideological constraint. Liberalism is attacked from the left as the ideology of
free markets, with no defence against the accumulation of wealth and power in
the hands of a few, and as lacking any analysis of the social and political
nature of persons. It is attacked from the right as insufficiently sensitive to
the value of settled institutions and customs, or to the need for social
structure and constraint in providing the matrix for individual freedoms.
pedagogy
Pedagogy is the
holistic science of education. It may be implemented in practice as a personal
and holistic approach of socialising and upbringing children and young people.
The term is not to be confused with social pedagogy, where society (represented
by social pedagogues) holds a bigger part of the responsibility of the
citizen's (often with mental or physical disabilities) well-being.
Pedagogy is also
occasionally referred to as the correct use of instructive strategies (see
instructional theory). For example, Paulo Freire referred to his method of
teaching people as "critical pedagogy". In correlation with those
instructive strategies the instructor's own philosophical beliefs of
instruction are harbored and governed by the pupil's background knowledge and
experience, situation, and environment, as well as learning goals set by the
student and teacher. One example would be the Socratic schools of thought.
Generalizations
An instructor
develops conceptual knowledge and manages the content of learning activities in
pedagogical settings. This is consistent with the Cognitivism of Piaget, 1926, 1936/1975;
Bruner, 1960, 1966, 1971, 1986; and Vygotsky, 1962 where sequential development
of individual mental processes such as recognize, recall, analyze, reflect,
apply, create, understand, and evaluate are scaffolded. The learning technique
is adoptive learning of procedures, organization, and structure to develop an
internal cognitive structure that strengthens synapses in the brain. The
learner requires assistance to develop prior knowledge and integrate new
knowledge using Verbal/Linguistic and Logical/Mathematical intelligences. The
learner must learn how to learn while developing existing schema and adopting
knowledge from both people and the environment. This is low order learning of
conceptual knowledge, techniques, procedures, and algorithmic problem solving.
Pedagogues
A pedagogue is a
practitioner of pedagogy. The term is primarily used for individuals who occupy
jobs in pre-school education (such as kindergartens and nurseries) in
Scandinavia. But can occupy various kinds of jobs e.g. in retirement homes,
prisons, orphanages, and human resource managements. These are often recognised
as social pedagogues as they perform on behalf of society.
The pedagogue's job
is usually distinguished from teachers by primarily focusing on teaching
children life-preparing knowledge such as social skills and cultural norms etc.
There is also a very big focus on care and well-being of the child. Many
pedagogical institutions also practice social inclusion. The pedagogue's work
also consists of supporting the child in his or her mental- and social
development.
In Denmark all
pedagogues are trained at a series of national institutes for social educators
located in all major cities. The programme is a 3.5 year academic course giving
the student the title of a Bachelor in Social Education.

The LIBOR Fraud
Bruno Iksil
Bruno Michel Iksil,
nicknamed the London Whale (for his risky trades) and Voldemort (for his supposed
power on Wall Street) is a Soviet-born Jewish trader who worked for the London
office of JPMorgan Chase who is held responsible for losses up to $9 billion.
Reportedly he began working for JPMorgan in 2005 and lives in Paris, commuting
to London. Understood to be married with four children, Iksil is said to guard
his privacy.
In 2011, Iksil, also
known as "Caveman" for his aggressive trades, bet approximately $1
billion that some companies would default and earned JPMorgan a windfall of
$450 million. He was so powerful and so bullish in early 2012 that his trades
alone may have moved the index, according to New York magazine. After "the
disastrous $2 billion trading loss related to derivatives in the bank's chief
investment office in London" became known in May 2012, he was
"stripped of his trading responsibilities."

Does Conventional
Medical Training Destroy Empathy?
A surprisingly
consistent body of research exists indicating that conventional medical
training actually reduces practitioner empathy. What is worse, the decline in
empathy appears even more pronounced at the time that the curriculum shifts towards
patient-care activities.
In one study
published in 2009 in the journal Academic Medicine entitled "The devil is
in the third year: a longitudinal study of erosion of empathy in medical
school," the authors conclude:
It is ironic that the erosion of empathy
occurs during a time when the curriculum is shifting toward patient-care
activities; this is when empathy is most essential."
In another, higher-powered
systematic review published in the same journal last year entitled
"Empathy decline and its reasons: a systematic review of studies with
medical students and residents," researchers looked at data from
1990-2010, which included 18 studies, and found:
The five longitudinal and two
cross-sectional studies of residents showed a decrease in empathy during
residency. The studies pointed to the clinical practice phase of training and
the distress produced by aspects of the "hidden," "formal,"
and "informal" curricula as main reasons for empathy decline."
They Concluded
The results of the reviewed studies,
especially those with longitudinal data, suggest that empathy decline during
medical school and residency compromises striving toward professionalism and
may threaten health care quality."
While the ironic
decline of empathy associated with clinical practice during medical training is
cause for concern, what may be even more disturbing is that the decline in
empathy persists after training has ended.
In a 2005 study
published in Academic Medicine and entitled "Mood change and empathy
decline persist during three years of internal medicine training,"
researchers noted that some of the mood disturbances and declines in empathy
associated with residency/internship "never fully recover,"
indicating that conventional medical training may produce real, diagnosable
psychological traumas that may never be fully resolved and may adversely affect
the quality of healthcare provided.
Empathy, after all,
has concrete and measurable therapeutic effects in others. In 2009, researchers
found that practitioner empathy reduced the duration of the common cold in
their patients. Conversely, a negative and/or indifferent attitude towards the
patient has measurable adverse effects, also known as the nocebo effect. Indeed, our recent article titled,
"Research: Some Cancer Diagnoses Kill You Quicker Than the Cancer,"
discusses the finding that the risk of suicide is 12 times higher and the risk
of heart-related death 6 times higher during the first week following a cancer
diagnosis versus those who were diagnosed cancer free.

Many symptoms can be
relieved by increasing magnesium in the diet
Magnesium is used in
hundreds of processes in the body and is found in all your tissues.
Most modern western
diets are extremely deficient in magnesium. Processed foods, meat, and dairy
have no magnesium. Magnesium is quickly depleted from the body during times of
stress and with the consumption of alcohol and coffee. The RDA for magnesium,
400mg per day, is less than half of what people consumed before modern food
processing.
Increasing magnesium
helps fights the effects of stress and causes a relaxation effect in the body.
It plays a role in effective digestion, and may relieve conditions ranging from
heart palpitations to PMS. I found that increasing magnesium significantly
reduced sciatic nerve pain.
Foods such as sea
vegetables, spinach, swiss chard, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, black beans,
quinoa, avocado, and almonds are great sources of dietary magnesium.

Mark Twain: Corn-pone
Opinions
FIFTY YEARS AGO, when I was a boy of fifteen and
helping to inhabit a Missourian village on the banks of the Mississippi, I had a
friend whose society was very dear to me because I was forbidden by my mother to
partake of it. He was a gay and impudent and satirical and delightful young
black man -a slave -who daily preached sermons from the top of his master's
woodpile, with me for sole audience. He imitated the pulpit style of the several
clergymen of the village, and did it well, and with fine passion and energy. To
me he was a wonder. I believed he was the greatest orator in the United States
and would some day be heard from. But it did not happen; in the distribution of
rewards he was overlooked. It is the way, in this world.
He interrupted his preaching, now and then, to saw a stick of wood; but the sawing was a pretense -he did it with his mouth; exactly imitating the sound the bucksaw makes in shrieking its way through the wood. But it served its purpose; it kept his master from coming out to see how the work was getting along. I listened to the sermons from the open window of a lumber room at the back of the house. One of his texts was this:
"You tell me whar a man gits his corn pone, en I'll tell you what his 'pinions is."
I can never forget it. It was deeply impressed upon me. By my mother. Not upon my memory, but elsewhere. She had slipped in upon me while I was absorbed and not watching. The black philosopher's idea was that a man is not independent, and cannot afford views which might interfere with his bread and butter. If he would prosper, he must train with the majority; in matters of large moment, like politics and religion, he must think and feel with the bulk of his neighbors, or suffer damage in his social standing and in his business prosperities. He must restrict himself to corn-pone opinions -- at least on the surface. He must get his opinions from other people; he must reason out none for himself; he must have no first-hand views.
I think Jerry was right, in the main, but I think he did not go far enough.
1. It was his idea that a man conforms to the majority view of his locality by calculation and intention. This happens, but I think it is not the rule.
2. It was his idea that there is such a thing as a first-hand opinion; an original opinion; an opinion which is coldly reasoned out in a man's head, by a searching analysis of the facts involved, with the heart unconsulted, and the jury room closed against outside influences. It may be that such an opinion has been born somewhere, at some time or other, but I suppose it got away before they could catch it and stuff it and put it in the museum.
I am persuaded that a coldly-thought-out and independent verdict upon a fashion in clothes, or manners, or literature, or politics, or religion, or any other matter that is projected into the field of our notice and interest, is a most rare thing -- if it has indeed ever existed.
A new thing in costume appears -- the flaring hoopskirt, for example -- and the passers-by are shocked, and the irreverent laugh. Six months later everybody is reconciled; the fashion has established itself; it is admired, now, and no one laughs. Public opinion resented it before, public opinion accepts it now, and is happy in it. Why? Was the resentment reasoned out? Was the acceptance reasoned out? No. The instinct that moves to conformity did the work. It is our nature to conform; it is a force which not many can successfully resist. What is its seat? The inborn requirement of self-approval. We all have to bow to that; there are no exceptions. Even the woman who refuses from first to last to wear the hoop skirt comes under that law and is its slave; she could not wear the skirt and have her own approval; and that she must have, she cannot help herself. But as a rule our self-approval has its source in but one place and not elsewhere -- the approval of other people. A person of vast consequences can introduce any kind of novelty in dress and the general world will presently adopt it -- moved to do it, in the first place, by the natural instinct to passively yield to that vague something recognized as authority, and in the second place by the human instinct to train with the multitude and have its approval. An empress introduced the hoopskirt, and we know the result. A nobody introduced the bloomer, and we know the result. If Eve should come again, in her ripe renown, and reintroduce her quaint styles -- well, we know what would happen. And we should be cruelly embarrassed, along at first.
The hoopskirt runs its course and disappears. Nobody reasons about it. One woman abandons the fashion; her neighbor notices this and follows her lead; this influences the next woman; and so on and so on, and presently the skirt has vanished out of the world, no one knows how nor why, nor cares, for that matter. It will come again, by and by and in due course will go again.
Twenty-five years ago, in England, six or eight wine glasses stood grouped by each person's plate at a dinner party, and they were used, not left idle and empty; to-day there are but three or four in the group, and the average guest sparingly uses about two of them. We have not adopted this new fashion yet, but we shall do it presently. We shall not think it out; we shall merely conform, and let it go at that. We get our notions and habits and opinions from outside influences; we do not have to study them out.
Our table manners, and company manners, and street manners change from time to time, but the changes are not reasoned out; we merely notice and conform. We are creatures of outside influences; as a rule we do not think, we only imitate. We cannot invent standards that will stick; what we mistake for standards are only fashions, and perishable. We may continue to admire them, but we drop the use of them. We notice this in literature. Shakespeare is a standard, and fifty years ago we used to write tragedies which we couldn't tell from -- from somebody else's; but we don't do it any more, now. Our prose standard, three quarters of a century ago, was ornate and diffuse; some authority or other changed it in the direction of compactness and simplicity, and conformity followed, without argument. The historical novel starts up suddenly, and sweeps the land. Everybody writes one, and the nation is glad. We had historical novels before; but nobody read them, and the rest of us conformed -- without reasoning it out. We are conforming in the other way, now, because it is another case of everybody.
The outside influences are always pouring in upon us, and we are always obeying their orders and accepting their verdicts. The Smiths like the new play; the Joneses go to see it, and they copy the Smith verdict. Morals, religions, politics, get their following from surrounding influences and atmospheres, almost entirely; not from study, not from thinking. A man must and will have his own approval first of all, in each and every moment and circumstance of his life -- even if he must repent of a self-approved act the moment after its commission, in order to get his self-approval again: but, speaking in general terms, a man's self-approval in the large concerns of life has its source in the approval of the peoples about him, and not in a searching personal examination of the matter. Mohammedans are Mohammedans because they are born and reared among that sect, not because they have thought it out and can furnish sound reasons for being Mohammedans; we know why Catholics are Catholics; why Presbyterians are Presbyterians; why Baptists are Baptists; why Mormons are Mormons; why thieves are thieves; why monarchists are monarchists; why Republicans are Republicans and Democrats, Democrats. We know it is a matter of association and sympathy, not reasoning and examination; that hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, politics, or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies. Broadly speaking, there are none but corn-pone opinions. And broadly speaking, corn-pone stands for self-approval. Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people. The result is conformity. Sometimes conformity has a sordid business interest -- the bread-and-butter interest -- but not in most cases, I think. I think that in the majority of cases it is unconscious and not calculated; that it is born of the human being's natural yearning to stand well with his fellows and have their inspiring approval and praise -- a yearning which is commonly so strong and so insistent that it cannot be effectually resisted, and must have its way. A political emergency brings out the corn-pone opinion in fine force in its two chief varieties -- the pocketbook variety, which has its origin in self-interest, and the bigger variety, the sentimental variety -- the one which can't bear to be outside the pale; can't bear to be in disfavor; can't endure the averted face and the cold shoulder; wants to stand well with his friends, wants to be smiled upon, wants to be welcome, wants to hear the precious words, "He's on the right track!" Uttered, perhaps by an ass, but still an ass of high degree, an ass whose approval is gold and diamonds to a smaller ass, and confers glory and honor and happiness, and membership in the herd. For these gauds many a man will dump his life-long principles into the street, and his conscience along with them. We have seen it happen. In some millions of instances.
Men think they think upon great political questions, and they do; but they think with their party, not independently; they read its literature, but not that of the other side; they arrive at convictions, but they are drawn from a partial view of the matter in hand and are of no particular value. They swarm with their party, they feel with their party, they are happy in their party's approval; and where the party leads they will follow, whether for right and honor, or through blood and dirt and a mush of mutilated morals.
In our late canvass half of the nation passionately believed that in silver lay salvation, the other half as passionately believed that that way lay destruction. Do you believe that a tenth part of the people, on either side, had any rational excuse for having an opinion about the matter at all? I studied that mighty question to the bottom -- came out empty. Half of our people passionately believe in high tariff, the other half believe otherwise. Does this mean study and examination, or only feeling? The latter, I think. I have deeply studied that question, too -- and didn't arrive. We all do no end of feeling, and we mistake it for thinking. And out of it we get an aggregation which we consider a boon. Its name is Public Opinion. It is held in reverence. It settles everything. Some think it the Voice of God.

Hackers and Painters
Big Ideas from the
Computer Age
By Paul Graham
(2004)
“The computer world is like an intellectual Wild West, in
which you can shoot anyone you wish with your ideas, if you're willing to risk
the consequences.”
--from Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age,
by Paul Graham
We are living in the
computer age, in a world increasingly designed and engineered by computer
programmers and software designers, by people who call themselves hackers. Who
are these people, what motivates them, and why should you care?
Consider these facts:
Everything around us is turning into computers. Your typewriter is gone,
replaced by a computer. Your phone has turned into a computer. So has your
camera. Soon your TV will. Your car was not only designed on computers, but has
more processing power in it than a room-sized mainframe did in 1970. Letters,
encyclopedias, newspapers, and even your local store are being replaced by the
Internet.
Hackers &
Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age, by Paul Graham, explains this world
and the motivations of the people who occupy it. In clear, thoughtful prose
that draws on illuminating historical examples, Graham takes readers on an
unflinching exploration into what he calls "an intellectual Wild
West."
The ideas discussed
in this book will have a powerful and lasting impact on how we think, how we
work, how we develop technology, and how we live. Topics include the importance
of beauty in software design, how to make wealth, heresy and free speech, the
programming language renaissance, the open-source movement, digital design,
internet startups, and more.

Gaia
GAIA (or Gaea)
was the Protogenos (primeval divinity) of earth, one of the primal elements who
first emerged at the dawn of creation, along with air, sea and sky. She was the
great mother of all : the heavenly gods were descended from her union with
Ouranos (the sky), the sea-gods from her union with Pontos (the sea), the
Gigantes from her mating with Tartaros (the hell-pit) and mortal creatures were
sprung or born from her earthy flesh.
In myth Gaia appears
as the prime opponent of the heavenly gods. First she rebelled against her husband
Ouranos (Sky) who had imprisoned her sons in her womb. Then later, when her son
Kronos defied her by imprisoning these same sons, she assisted Zeus in his
overthrow of the Titan. Finally she came into conflict with Zeus, angered with
him for the binding of her Titan-sons in the pit of Tartaros. In her opposition
she first produced the tribe of Gigantes and later the monster Typhoeus to
dethrone him, but both failed in both attempts.
In the ancient Greek
cosmology earth was conceived as a flat disk encircled by the river Okeanos,
and topped above by the solid dome of heaven and below by the great pit of
Tartaros. She herself supported the sea and mountains upon her breast.
Gaia was depicted as
a buxom, matronly woman, half risen from the earth (as in the image right) in
Greek vase painting. She was portrayed as inseparable from her native element.
In mosaic art, Gaia appears as a full-figured, reclining woman, often clothed
in green, and sometimes accompanied by grain spirits--the Karpoi.

Hyperborea
In Greek mythology
the Hyperboreans were a mythical people who lived far to the north of Thrace.
The Greeks thought that Boreas, the North Wind, lived in Thrace, and that
therefore Hyperborea was an unspecified region in the northern lands that lay
beyond the north wind. Their land, called Hyperborea or Hyperboria –
"beyond the Boreas" – was perfect, with the sun shining twenty-four
hours a day, which to modern ears suggests a possible location within the
Arctic Circle.
Arimaspi
The Arimaspi were a
legendary people of northern Scythia who lived in the foothills of the Riphean
Mountains, variously identified with the Ural Mountains or the Carpathians. All
tales of their struggles with the gold-guarding griffins in the Hyperborean
lands near the cave of Boreas, the North Wind (Geskleithron), had their origin
in a lost work by Aristeas, reported in Herodotus.

Krymsk: The Flood
(RT documentary)
It happened suddenly
at night. There was no electricity; no help was coming. Streets became rivers
and houses were drowned by meters of water. A deluge of mud and water swept
through the city. People tried to survive by any means. Some sought refuge on
their roofs; others scrambled up trees. Rescue services and volunteers flocked
in the next day, but it was too late - 171 lives had been claimed by the
onslaught. All the people of the city of Krymsk hope for now that such a
disastrous flood will never happen again.

"The
Aviary" is a collection of strange birds:

The One World
Government and One World Religion will not succeed in forming as long as there
are differences in thought. All other political and religious belief systems
must be eliminated by a variety of methods through the press, television,
movies, and educational mediums.
The New World Order
philosophy is to subdue passively in the beginning, but aggressively near the
end. It is now accepted because it appears to be for peace and prosperity.
Later, when the majority of political and military power-elite has accepted it,
it will show itself for what it really is very violent and aristocratic.
The New World
Religion is pushing for the ‘hive mentality’ with the achieved collective
consciousness, harmonic convergence of oneness of mind. There will be no room
for any personal opinion or individual thought process. Persons that choose a
separate route will be eliminated.
In 1989 when George
Bush, Sr., and Mikhail Gorbachev shook hands the nobility of Black Arts
Occultism converged with Socialist "oneness of mind" and atheism.
This ‘Unity through Diversity’ doctrine was a must with our CSETI/NASA Group in
Project Falling Star. When the group was together and had an honest oneness of
purpose, the UFOs would come to us. I entered some sort of altered state of
mind and UFOs would communicate with me by ESP. I knew which mountain to go to
and they would show up.
The New World Order
is constructively socially engineering all societies on earth to meet this
purpose. The people that I was associated with in "Riders on the
Storm" have been working to achieve the New World Order for quite some
time. Some of the spin-doctors have been under CIA pay and/or the training and
dictates of the Tavistock and Stanford think-tanks. One must wonder why a medical
doctor like Steve Greer who has not practiced medicine very long, would be
chasing UFOs and who is paying him? Why is it Greer and Dr. Alfred Webre
(lawyer and environmentalist) appear on the most popular UFO and Globalist
shows like Art Bell’s, "Coast to Coast" and Jeff Rense’s,
"Sightings" and they have no evidence to prove their so-called
experiences.
The majority of the
media is dancing to the beat of the spin-doctors in radio, television,
newspapers and movies. Those people that were really on the inside of any Black
Science or Black Operations projects are barred from the media until the World
Federalists have eliminated them by death or imprisonment or have converted
them to their agenda through a variety of mind control techniques.
I am convinced that
any effort to stop this New World Order is useless. Certain political and
religious resistance may slow it down; but, you will never win America back.
The situation is too far-gone.

Bertrand Russell: Dupe of Racist Jews—including Physicists
I'm interested in Bertrand Russell, mainly because of his wide range of topics, including, as well as philosophy and mathematics, some scientific topics, plus world history, and literature, though not art. And his literary style (modelled on Milton, and on Baedecker guidebooks, he said). And his reformist passion. And something else—his apparently wide experience of influential people. Russell regarded his principal work as his book co-written with A N Whitehead, 'Principia Mathematica'—the title no doubt modelled on Newton's. Toward the end of his life he seems to have regarded mathematics as just an elaborate set of tautologies. He was also an aristocratic reformer type, belonging to the political part of the aristocracy rather than the landowers, and an Independent Labour Party supporter, and later a Labour Party supporter, until he became aware of war crimes in Vietnam. He also campaigned against nuclear weapons, though he never had any doubts as to their existence.
Russell's Autobiography states that 'the founder of my family had been a protégé' of Henry VIII. Henry VIII re-introduced interest on money. Possibly Russell's ancestors were promoted after Cromwell and then the 'Glorious Revolution', as a result of being pro-Jewish, though I doubt Russell would ever have stated this. His Autobiography mentions Kingston Russell House, in Dorset, an 18th century building, and the village where his family 'began its more notable career', which is consistent with wealth coinciding with the enclosures. (I haven't attempted to inspect Russell's family tree, which included the Stanleys and of course must have included others). Many people feel loyalty to, or fear leaving, some organisation (nation, NASA, company, army, teaching place, home town, country, church, university...). Russell's main loyalty *may* have been to 'Jews'. His grandfather, Lord John Russell, had something to do with 19th century pro-Jewish reforms; Portraits from Memory has Bertrand's account of the repeal of the Test Act, and the repeal of the Corporation Act, in 1828, when Lord John Russell was 35. These were to do with taking the sacrament of the Lord's supper and denying transubstantiation. Bertrand Russell says this was Lord John Russell's 'first great achievement', and described 50 years later, when he (Bertrand) was nearly 6, a 'large gathering of earnest men on the lawn in front of our house'; these were 'nonconformists', though Lord John was too ill to see them. The same meeting is described for example in Life of Lord John Russell by Spencer Walpole. However, 'nonconformist' (and 'dissenter') appear to be vaguely worded—they could be English or Welsh Protestant Christians, or include Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Baptists and Quakers—or include Jews. No doubt the meaning subtly changed.
The thesis of this piece is that Bertrand Russell naïvely assumed, all his life, that tribal and race-based cults (Confucianism, Hinduism, but especially Judaism and Mohammedanism) were on the same footing as the potentially universal Chistianity. Bertrand Russell wrote that 'the carrying of the Reform Bill in 1832, ... started Britain on the course that led to complete democracy.' But possibly the rather bogus forms of 'democracy' that have developed had the same root—certainly some people maintain that the Constitutional monarchy with nominal opposition, was, along with company law, Jewish control of money, and one-sided free speech, Jewish-inspired. Russell's unqualified adulation of Bentham, the legal reformer, who was connected with the formation of the non-Church of England University College, might suggest something similar. (See Freedom and Organization 1814-1914). And Russell almost never comments on the post-Napoleonic effects of the Rothschilds on Britain's wealthy families—admittedly a taboo topic in almost all 19th century English writing; I know of no novel dealing with impoverishment of English families as a result of that deception. This provides a convincing explanation of Russell's deeply-ingrained omission of any criticism of Jews, including their historical origin, while at the same time he allowed himself to freely mock almost any other category of white humankind, apart from his fellow students at Cambridge.

Who chose 'The Chosen'?
. . . and where do the
Jews get off
saying they're better
than everyone else?
By John Kaminski
Why were 'the Chosen'
chosen?
Who chose them to be
'the Chosen'?
And the biggest
question of all — chosen for what?
This choice translates today as the
right to shoot children and harvest their organs by claiming their victims,
according to their holy books, weren't humans at all — but only beasts, only
grasshoppers, only cockroaches, whose possessions belong only to the Jews.
This choice translates today as the
right to control the world by controlling its contracts, and exacting the
kosher tax — that strong-armed paradigm of ill-gotten gain — from every
transaction in every country.
This choice translates today as a
billion televisions throughout the world all owned and controlled by the same
group of predators who confabulate endless reasons for war and glorify the gun
as the symbol of justice and the purpose of life.
Can you not see this as it dominates
every headline in the world today?
This choice translates today as the
ugly network of lies that engulfs our lives in the self-serving and profitable
falsehoods of artificial reality, which benefit no one but the people operating
the scam, plus their slaves.
All over Israel, rabbis clamor for
blood, for the right to kill others simply because they are not Jews.
Where did they get this authority?
And who gave it to them?
In ancient Sumer (c. 4000-2000 BC),
god and king were one and the same person until these Fertile Crescent cultures
were destroyed by cataclysm and flood. After these catastrophes, the gods had
become statues that kings talked to, a separation in the mind between human and
idol. These stone statuettes eventually stopped talking in the minds of their
adherents, but what was written down regarding this peculiar psychological
process is the foundation of all the world's holy books most people know.
Abraham was the first banker who
insisted he had a right to enslave Egypt because he was sent by God. Who was
this God? The imaginary power broker invented by the first rabbis — Daniel,
Ezra and their ilk — in Babylon that created the whole Solomon myth by an
imaginative twisting of history — a technique that has captured the minds of
every human being ever since and is witnessed today in the glittering yet
manipulated extravaganzas of modern mainstream media.
Every Western religion is simply a
garbled mistranslation of the world's oldest repository of religious
literature, the Hindu canon with its multiplicity of gods and divinity dominant
in everything that lives. The finest European philosophers extolled the virtues
of understanding the divine emanations of Brahma, and forthright Indian
philosophers like Sri Aurobindo can routinely blow away the entire corpus of
Western religion with a single breath:
"Hinduism, which is the most
skeptical and the most believing of all, the most skeptical because it has
questioned and experimented the most, the most believing because it has the
deepest experience and the most varied and positive spiritual knowledge, that
wider Hinduism which is not a dogma or combination of dogmas but a law of life,
which is not a social framework but the spirit of a past and future social
evolution, which rejects nothing but insists on testing and experiencing
everything and when tested and experienced, turning in to the soul's uses, in
this Hinduism, we find the basis of future world religion. This Sanatana Dharma
has many scriptures: The Veda, the Vedanta, the Gita, the Upanishads, the
Darshanas, the Puranas, the Tantras:......but its real, the most authoritative
scripture is in the heart in which the Eternal has his dwelling."
World peace will come only with the
recognition of a predator class throughout the world that has bamboozled honest
heads-of-households with the promise that they will not be killed if they
submit to the endless corruption that eventually overtakes all bureaucracies.
And not even that promise has been kept, evidenced by the multitude of
population reduction programs now operating everywhere.
The path toward the detoxification
and neutralization of this destructive force begins at the very moment when we
compromise our idealism, when we take that first step and rationalize our
concession to the lie:
"Oh, I'll pay this tax even
though I know it's unjust and overestimated." Or, as Helen Keller said
back in the 1920s, when you accept that the candidates are Tweedledum and
Tweedledee, you've already lost everything you've ever hoped to gain.
Each concession you have made during
the past half century to look the other way when we blasted Panama or Serbia or
Deir Yassein off the map or not properly investigate when the Frankenstein
doctors at Fort Detrick invented AIDS as a bioweapon to use against the
Africans, has led to this dire situation, wholly engineered by the Jewish
people and their monstrous leaders, in which our lives are already vaporized
through hundreds of aspects like the still-uninvestigated electrosmog that
limits our brain function that results in people like Rick Santorum and Oprah
Winfrey driving public debate in the dumbed-down USA.
We are puppets — or cockroaches —
marching smartly toward the edge of humanity's final cliff, with the next root
race to survive being the biotech version of Talmudic Eloi, forever to be
cannibalized by the Jewish Morlocks.
Which brings us back to our first
question: Who in hell chose The Chosen?! And what, in God's holy name, were
they chosen for?!
The 'gods that came down from heaven'
were anthropomorphized metaphors in the minds of ancient people who had no
other way to describe giant boulders of fire that destroyed whole civilizations
almost everywhere on the planet. The human behaviors ascribed to these gods
were nothing more than the actions of their leaders, the almighty kings who
bestowed the power of life and death upon everyone who wanted to eat.
From the wise Assyrian potentate who
removed the Jews from Jerusalem to the psychotic Roman emperors who built
temples to themselves a thousand years later, accepting the lie that a human
was divine was the key to survival across the ancient world, and in most places
in today's modern word, still is.
Yet in each case it is a lie we
willingly believe, as it is essential the moral fabric of the community in
which we live, and peace is what we want most. The price we have paid for this
is unconsciousness and the utterly unnecessary mutilation of many millions
which were carried out by people who were misled by the manipulators of
mankind, the holy men in their black robes, always sanctifying slaughter of all
those who don't subscribe to their specific version of God.
Those who subscribe to the Judaic
version of justice are the merchants of deception and death, and should be
shunned by all actual human beings who know from those they love and who love
them that the real gift of human life is in the giving — that way true health
reposes.
It is becoming clear to all the world
that Judaism is psychopathological narcissistic megalomania. In other words,
the Jews are insane, and by inculcation of their philosophies and practices
throughout the world, they have made the entire world insane.
The auspices for Jewish chosenness
comes from no other place than the schizophrenic darkness of a terrorized mind,
frothing in a blind state of vengeance to avenge its own death, blaming others
for its own misfortune, never realizing even once, that anything with two eyes
— or anything that bleeds red — is connected to all other creatures with the
same features.
The Chosen chose themselves as a
clever way to rip off others. And certainly in this self-selection, they were
chosen as an example to all human beings of how NOT to live. Just contemplate
the general condition of the world at this moment.
I'll let you speculate further on why
they have chosen us — all the non Jews of the world — for enslavement and/or
extermination.

Ignatius Donnelly
Atlantis: The
Antediluvian World
By Ignatius Donnelly
(1882)
Supported by convincing geological,
archeological and astronomical arguments, this remarkable study advanced a
strikingly original idea for its time — that a celestial object's devastating
collision with the Earth's surface thousands of years ago resulted in massive
gravel layers, the destruction of an advanced civilization (Atlantis), and
years of cloud cover and extreme cold.
Ragnarok: The Age of
Fire and Gravel
Author's arguments
In Ragnarok, Donnelly argues that an
enormous comet hit the earth 12,000 years ago, resulting in widespread fires,
floods, poisonous gases, and unusually vicious, prolonged winters. The
catastrophe destroyed a more advanced civilization, causing human beings, in
panic and terror, to seek shelter in caves. Here they degenerate, lose all
knowledge of art, literature, music, philosophy, and engineering, and become
cavemen.
He cites as evidence cracks, 900 feet
deep, radiating out from the Great Lakes, and stretching for many miles away
from the lakes. He admits it has been proposed that ice-sheets caused these
cracks, but makes no secret of the improbability of ice sheets producing such
great cracks, which he refers to as being like 'cracks in a window which has
been struck with a stone'. He also demands why, if ice sheets could produce
such cracks, why said cracks can't be found anywhere else on the globe. He also
brings up surface rocks in New York City, which seems to have undergone a radical
chemical change---the feldspar has been converted into slate and the mica has
separated out from the iron, as it would if it were undergoing tremendous heat
and unbearable pressure, which would certainly be the case in the event of a
comet striking the earth. He rules out other theories that could have caused
this, such as nitric acid and warm rains, by pointing out that this is an
isolated incident, whereas warm rains can occur at any time and place, and
there's no archaeological evidence for the nitric acid's origins.
He points out many legends and myths
from various cultures, such as Zoroastrian, Pictish, Hindu, and Ancient Greece,
that are all suggestive of a comet striking the earth, the earth catching fire,
poisonous gases choking people, and floods and tidal waves swamping large
areas. He also points out early culture's tendency to heliotheism, which
evolved from an insane gratitude to the Sun, after so many horrific days
without it.

Portrait of Francis
Bacon, by Frans Pourbus (1617), Palace on the Water in Warsaw
Sir Frances Bacon
Francis Bacon, 1st
Viscount St. Alban(s), KC (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626) was an English
philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist and author. He served both as
Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. Although his political career
ended in disgrace, he remained extremely influential through his works,
especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific method
during the scientific revolution.
Bacon has been called
the creator of empiricism. His works established and popularised inductive
methodologies for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method, or
simply the scientific method. His demand for a planned procedure of
investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and
theoretical framework for science, much of which still surrounds conceptions of
proper methodology today.
Bacon was knighted in
1603, and created both the Baron Verulam in 1618 and the Viscount St. Alban in
1621; as he died without heirs, both peerages became extinct upon his death. He
famously died by contracting pneumonia while studying the effects of freezing
on the preservation of meat.
Title page of the
1628 edition of Bacon's New Atlantis
New Atlantis
New Atlantis is a utopian novel by
Sir Francis Bacon, published in Latin (as Nova Atlantis) in 1624 and in English
in 1627. In this work, Bacon portrayed a vision of the future of human
discovery and knowledge, expressing his aspirations and ideals for humankind.
The novel depicts the creation of a utopian land where "generosity and
enlightenment, dignity and splendour, piety and public spirit" are the
commonly held qualities of the inhabitants of "Bensalem". The plan
and organization of his ideal college, "Salomon's House" (or
Solomon's House) envisioned the modern research university in both applied and
pure sciences.

A Dictionary of the
English Language
Published on 15 April
1755 and written by Samuel Johnson, A Dictionary of the English Language, sometimes published
as Johnson's Dictionary, is among the most influential dictionaries in the
history of the English language.
There was
dissatisfaction with the dictionaries of the period, so in June 1746 a group of
London booksellers contracted Johnson to write a dictionary for the sum of
1,500 guineas (£1,575), equivalent to about £230,000 as of 2012.[1] Johnson
took nearly nine years to complete the work, although he had claimed he could
finish it in three. Remarkably, he did so single-handedly, with only clerical
assistance to copy out the illustrative quotations that he had marked in books.
Johnson produced several revised editions during his life.
Until the completion
of the Oxford English Dictionary, 173 years later, Johnson's was viewed as the
pre-eminent English dictionary. According to Walter Jackson Bate, the
Dictionary "easily ranks as one of the greatest single achievements of
scholarship, and probably the greatest ever performed by one individual who
labored under anything like the disadvantages in a comparable length of
time".
