 Jon Rappoport, Guest Since logic is no longer taught as a required subject in schools, the door is open to all sorts of bizarre reactions to the presence of information. Here are three favorites: One: grab the headline or the title of an article, make up your mind about how you “feel,” and ignore everything else. Two: Actually read the article until you find a piece of information that appeals to you for any reason; latch on to it, and run with it in any direction. In all cases, the direction will have nothing to do with the intent of the article. Three: From the moment you begin to read the headline of the article, be in a state of “free association.” Take any word or sentence and connect it to an arbitrary thought or feeling, associate that thought with yet another arbitrary thought…and keep going until you become tired or bored. You might be surprised at how many people use these three “methods of analysis.” The very idea that the author of the article is making a central point doesn’t really register. And certainly, the notion that the author is providing evidence for the central point and reasoning his way from A to B to C is alien. A college liberal education? These days it could be imparted in a matter of weeks, simply by hammering a small set of values into students’ skulls—along with requisite guilt and fear at the prospect of wandering off the reservation. Logic as a subject is viewed with grave suspicion, as if it might involuntarily take a person down the wrong track and dump him in a politically incorrect ditch—a fate to be avoided at all costs. Therefore, the practice of rational debate is on the way out. Too risky. Besides, the preferred method of dealing with opponents is screaming at them, shoving them off stage, and whining about “being triggered.” If you think obtaining what’s called a liberal college education is vastly overrated (and absurdly expensive), you’re right. Learning logic, instead, would be a good start down a different road. And an analysis of the principle of “greatest good for the greatest number” would be very, very useful—since it underpins so much of values-centered education these days. What does greatest good mean, specifically? How would it be achieved? Who would implement it? How would the implementation affect individual freedom? Wrestling with these questions would open up whole new territories of insight. As I’ve mentioned in past articles, when I taught a few basics of logic to middle-school students, the clutter in their minds receded. They found the ability to follow a line of thought—for the first time, they recognized there was such a thing as a connected flow of reasoning from A to B to C to D. The lights went on. The world may be sinking into deeper levels of know-nothing non-rationality, but that’s not a good excuse for trailing along down into the swamp. It should be a wake-up call to go the other way. No matter what anyone says, it’s not a crime to be smarter than other people.

Activist Post reporter Derrick Broze gives us a tour of his grandmother's survival pantry. The pantry should include back up supply of preserved food, water, cleaning supplies, weapons, and much more.
Broze has recently announced the beginning of an intentional community in Texas built around the principles of non-aggression and individuality, permaculture/sustainability, and mindfulness. Gerald Celente "The British People Have Rebelled Against The Cabal. Now For Italy, Spain & France!"6/28/2016 Until recently, crystals with ‘forbidden symmetry’ were thought impossible to naturally occur. Yet, a 4.57 billion-year-old meteorite was found in the far northeastern region of Chukotka, Russia exhibiting crystals with naturally occurring ‘forbidden symmetry‘ for the first time. Dr. Paul Steinhardt from Princeton University led a research team to characterize the nature and occurrence of this enigmatic quasicrystal.
 Lance Schuttler, Contributor When Robert David Steele speaks, people listen. Especially those within the military and intelligence communities around the world. With his continued rhetoric on the open source everything manifesto as a way to positively transform this world for all, Mr. Steele has additionally begun discussing the world’s largest financial/gold cover-up story which has ties to JFK’s assassination and 9/11: That is, the global collateral accounts. As a former CIA spy who has trained over 7,500 officers from over 66 countries, Robert Steele has over 18 years experience across the U.S. Intelligence community, and an additional 20 years experience in commercial intelligence and training. He is also a former Marine and he is the co-founder of the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity. He has also written several books, which include, The Open Source Manifesto, and Intelligence For Earth: Clarity, Diversity, Integrity and Sustainability, among others. In accord to open source everything, Robert’s motto is: The truth at any cost, lowers all other costs. Essentially, when information, technology and resources are opened up as the commons to all, the true cost plummets and the well-being of our planet and all living beings here begin to thrive, as well as our social, political and financial systems. In Robert’s own words, the open source revolution will transform our world for the better and for all. “Sharing, not secrecy, is the means by which we realize such a lofty destiny as well as create infinite wealth. The wealth of networks, the wealth of knowledge, revolutionary wealth- all can create a nonzero, win-win Earth that works for 100% of humanity. This is the ‘utopia’ that Buckminster Fuller foresaw, now within our reach.” Similar models to Steele’s open source everything also include The Venus Project: Beyond Politics, Poverty and War, which calls for a holistic approach to changing the systems on this planet in a way that utilizes technology and human ingenuity to provide a high standard of living for every person by opening the planet’s resources for the use of all–in a strategically sustainable and efficient manner. Another model that is similar is Sustainable Human’s gift-based community in which all who participate are volunteers and everything created is done to “spread knowledge, ideas and alternative ways of living that enable humanity to live in harmony with the rest of life on Earth.” READ: Inventor Releases Open Source Plans that Will Usher in the Maker CultureAll of these models are wonderful and appropriate to envision, and what is certain is that most of the social systems we have in place currently, must go. Fundamental change is necessary. “If a universe can be imagined, it exists.” – Professor M. R. Franks, Member, Royal Astronomical Society of Canada In an interview with The Guardian, Robert David Steele was asked his opinion on the idea that the U.S. is on the verge of revolting against the elitist 1%: “The preconditions for revolution exist in the UK, and most Western countries [including the U.S]. The number of active pre-conditions is quite stunning, from elite isolation to concentrated wealth to inadequate socialization and education, to concentrated land-holdings to loss of authority to repression of new technologies, especially in relation to energy, to the atrophy of the public sector and spread of corruption, to media dishonesty, to mass unemployment of young men and on and on and on.” What then needs to happen for this to begin? Steele says: “Preconditions are not the same as precipitants. We are waiting for our Tunisian fruit seller. The public will endure great repression, especially when most media outlets and schools are actively aiding the repressive meme of ‘you are helpless, this is the order of things.’ When we have a scandal so powerful that it cannot be ignored by the average Briton or American, we will have a revolution that overturns the corrupt political systems in both countries, and perhaps puts many banks out of business. Vaclav Handel calls this ‘The Power of the Powerless.’ One spark, one massive fire.” Interestingly, this interview was conducted almost exactly 2 years ago. Have we not seen the divide between the 99% and the 1% continue to grow in that time? Humanity will not remain quiet for much longer. We are indeed close to some big and positive changes. Perhaps this massive scandal/event we are waiting for is the conclusion of the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, or maybe it is Britain’s vote to leave the EU, potentially triggering a cascade of revolts throughout Europe and then the world, or perhaps it will be a large enough group of people becoming aware of the global collateral accounts, the world’s largest financial/gold cover-up which has relation to JFK’s death and the events of 9/11; a story which just three weeks ago Robert David Steele started to write about publicly: “It never occurred to me that accidentally becoming the top Amazon reviewer for non-fiction, partially associated with my being the lead for Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) for 25 years across 66+ countries, would be vastly more important than everything I ever learned across multiple graduate degrees, as a former spy, and as co-founder of the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA). As I encounter disbelief about Neil Keenan and his role as the main juncture between the Dragon Society and the West as we move toward a global economic re-set, I have to remind myself that 80% of the public still thinks JFK was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald; J. Edgar Hoover was a moral man; the Israelis attacked the USS Liberty by accident, and 9/11 was carried out by a bunch of “rag heads” armed with box cutters. I must emphasize that it was not the books that underlay my absolute confidence in Neil Keenan and the Dragon Society and the broad outlines of the coming global re-set, but rather the people behind the books that I have taken the trouble to meet, sometimes under quasi-clandestine circumstances. Sterling and Peggy Seagrave — Peggy has passed — stand out. Their book, Gold Warriors–America’s Secret Recovery of Yamashita’s Gold, came with a CD containing 60,000 additional documents including maps and photographs. That led me to a quasi-clandestine meeting in France to interview them for the 2004 offering of my international conference — the transcript is online — and a deep continuing relationship of trust.” The public endorsement of Neil Keenan and his team’s efforts to open the global collateral accounts from Robert David Steele is another clear indication that these accounts are indeed real and that those who are working with Neil Keenan (positive factions within The Pentagon and CIA, Russian Intelligence, presidents and prime ministers of multiple South American countries and several Asian countries, among many other political, financial and intelligence and military groups who are all quietly and sometimes openly working for humanity’s best interest) are legitimate. The global collateral accounts have such a deep and complex history, which can be read in great detail here. In short, they are off-ledger accounts backed by gold, silver and many other assets which were originally intended for humanitarian projects. JFK signed what is known as the Green Hilton Memorial Agreement with President Sukarno of Indonesia, which was to use these accounts to issue a new US Treasury Note (backed by gold and silver) and end the Federal Reserve’s control over the global financial system. Neil Keenan is now getting very close to opening these accounts for the intended purposes of transforming our world for the better through many humanitarian projects as well as the release of free energy technologies and an overhaul in the global financial system. Russia, China, Iran, Indonesia and almost the entire Eastern hemisphere is supporting this plan in one way or another. Perhaps Robert David Steele’s ideas on an open source world will be part of the coming humanitarian projects. As almost anyone can see when they look around either at their own lives or the world at large, everything is changing. Everything is in flux. Everything happens in cycles. The time for positive global change is now.

"Many people ask me the question why I oppose the religion of Christianity. And why do I continually refer to myself as an Israelite. So please listen, I have answered this question many times before in other videos. Most will not go back into the acrhives a see what I said. So for that reason, this will be my last video series about this question. I hope you have ears to hear. Remember I am not the one that can open your understanding. My job is to tell you the truth and that is it. All I offer is the truth." -Pastor Dowell StraitwayTruth Ministry Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Books I Use For Study  Some argue that we, as a human race, are regressing. We are destroying the planet with mindless acts of deforestation and ever-increasing mining, forcing species to extinction, and emitting tons of carbon. Causing ocean acidification, depleting food, water and energy supplies and so on. Interestingly, despite these, and other horrifically destructive acts, more people than ever before are entering a new age of knowing or awareness. Has the Age of Consciousness arrived? More people understand the meaning of the word consciousness and its implications than ever before. Has the tipping point finally been reached? If so, why now? Is it the result of increasing numbers of people searching for meaning, purpose and connection in their lives? Can we thank Quantum Physics and Neuroscience for answering questions that once divided spiritual and scientific thinkers? Or is it that people have had enough of current ways of doing things and the devastating effects on the planet? The list of possibilities is endless. While the reason may be elusive, there is no denying that, as a human race, our awareness is evolving at an alarming rate. A few years ago the word “conscious” meant being awake and aware of what was going on around you in your immediate environment. Unconscious meant being asleep, knocked out, or unaware of what was going on around you. In the new Age of Consciousness, “conscious” means something much more. It may be more akin to mindfulness – awareness of one’s existence, thoughts, feelings and environment. And it goes even further – being awake, alive, accepting of life as it is, connecting with others on deeper levels, being present to the bigger picture, and the greater good for all. It is the recognition of interconnection between ourselves and our world. The most profound level of responsibility imaginable – that each of us, and our thoughts, feelings, and intentions create the world we live in. Carl Jung meet Buddha and John De Martini. Eckhart Tolle high five. What evidence is there for the Age of Consciousness?By now some of you may be thinking where has this hippy been hanging out? No I didn’t just step off a plane from Byron Bay or Ibud, Bali, to find evidence for my assertion. I didn’t need to. The Age of Consciousness is gradually unfolding in all areas of society from our daily lives to our business practices. It seems that everywhere we turn there is reference to mindfulness, or consciousness, people making a difference, changing our world, or giving back in some form or another. Conscious philosophies and practices are gradually finding their way into mainstream society. In time, this can only lead to a huge shift in humanity. Only last week I was visiting the Head Office of an international bank and a beautiful painting caught my eye. Admiringly, I walked closer and noticed there was a Hindu God in the center of the painting. To the left was an image of the chakras. I have come to expect to see paintings like this in retreats in exotic places, not in banks in the middle of Sydney CBD. Two weeks ago I heard a story about a café on Sydney’s Northern beaches with a quote from Erkhart Tolle on a blackboard inside. When my friend told the chef she liked it, he told her of his passionate plans for developing consciousness in children around the world. A few weeks ago a client forwarded me a brochure for a Mindful Leadership program advertised to the public sector. Is mindfulness moving into the public sector too? A few months ago an electrician arrived at a client’s office with “compassion” written on the sleeve of his shirt. I asked him why and he told me it was a charity his company supports. And these are just a few local examples – what about the Bangladeshi bank focused on ending world poverty? Or the increasing cafes around the world that operate on donation only? Or the vast number of businesses around the world that donate to charities when you purchase a coffee, or have an introductory meeting with an accountant, and so on? More people than ever before are talking about consciousness, mindfulness and social change. It is not uncommon to have deep, connected conversations with strangers about the raised awareness of many people on the planet. These are only a few examples of widespread change that is affecting the way we view and operate in the world. We are operating in a different paradigm. Whole disciplines or fields are also metamorphosing into more conscious practices. Heart connectionThe heart is no longer just the organ that pumps blood through the body. It is no longer something that must be left at home, with your emotions when you go to work. And no longer considered second to reason. Increasingly we are hearing about the precious influence of heart wisdom. A voice not to be ignored. Heart nourishing is now seen as vital to every aspect of our lives – from disease prevention to ensuring brand loyalty. People are connecting more and more through heart-based dialogue – even in executive boardrooms. There is also strong recognition of the importance of vulnerability and heart-based dialogue for connection with others. Only a few weeks ago I saw a post by a CEO asking for feedback on the connection between vulnerability and the influence of leaders. Research is mounting that mindfulness and conscious practices can benefit each of us in all aspects of our lives. Corporations and law firms are hiring teachers to teach their staff mindfulness and other meditation practices all around the world. What a shift! Leaders are being taught these skills in leadership programs (sometimes under different names so as not to scare them off!). There are measures of spiritual intelligence, calls for spiritually-based and compassionate organizations, and references to spiritual and holistic leadership. It all sounds very left field, however, these days it is not so uncommon to see the words spirituality, mindfulness, consciousness in mainstream venues and on mainstream programs in a variety of industries and domains. No longer are yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and conscious practices just optional extras at “hippy” health retreats in beautiful remote areas around the world. They are now mainstream activities. And they are not only popular activities outside of work. They are also now an important part of corporate well-being programs. People are calling for mindful mediators and psychotherapists, and groups are forming that promote conscious business practices. Coaches, counselors and psychologists alike are recommending mindfulness and conscious-based practices for stress relief, aiding mental clarity, the management of depression and anxiety, and the treatment of some personality disorders and so on. We have mindful eating practices to assist with weight loss and food enjoyment. Conscious PsychologyWe are also seeing the infiltration of mindfulness and meditation into the very scientifically guarded field of psychology, as ever-increasing evidence mounts for the benefits of mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation. Therapies that are mindfully-based, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, are quickly increasing in popularity in clinical and organizational settings. I predict that these therapies will one-day rival Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the leading psychological treatment for depression, anxiety and a range of other issues. Conscious BusinessBusiness has not been left out of the shift to the Age of Consciousness. There are movements around the world from some of the most successful companies (Google, Amazon, Pepsi and so on) to shift away from traditional shareholder models to ecological models of business. When leaders of organizations view their corporation, organization or business as anecosystem, they view each of the parts as equal to the other parts. Employees are just as important as customers, who are just as important as the community, who are just as important as suppliers, who are just as important as shareholders and so on. Some of the most successful businesses around are following these principles. Competitors that do not follow suit may find traditional business models unsustainable. People want to know that businesses care. Conscious LawIt must be the final frontier when the legal system recognizes the need for the law to take the well-being of individuals and society into consideration. Judges and magistrates around the world are now taking well-being into account in their determinations. Get used to it – therapeutic jurisprudence is growing. Some lawyers in the US are now seeing their role as healers rather than warriors. They are now considering, not only legal rights, but the mental, emotional and physical health when advising their clients. Wow!
Times are changing and gradually a huge shift in humanity is taking place. And surely, in time, as the power shifts to those more consciously aware, as one day it will, so too, these destructive patterns of human behavior will cease or miniseries. We can only hope. These are only a few examples of widespread change that is affecting the way we view and operate in the world. We are operating in a different paradigm. Whole disciplines or fields are also metamorphosing into more conscious practices. Zeitgeist, the Movie is a 2007 documentary film, produced by Peter Joseph about the Jesus myth, the attacks of 9/11, and the Federal Reserve Bank as well as a number of conspiracy theories related to those three main topics.
It was released free online via Google Video in June 2007. A remastered version was presented as a global premiere on November 10, 2007 at the 4th Annual Artivist Film Festival & Artivist Awards. The film has attracted significant public interest. You can also follow (or use for a reference) the official Zeitgeist Companion Source Guide found here. The more humanity strays from its’ origin, the more we deny our bond with nature, the farther from perfection we become. We are the only creatures on the planet that use symbols in reference to something else. This documentary shows that we use symbols for absolutely everything the mind can conceive of. There is at least one word or icon or gesture to insinuate everything our five senses can detect and then some. But along with this beautiful gift comes a flaw.
Most people are unwilling to seek and create their own interpretations of these symbols. Instead, they blindly submit to preconceived definitions and connotations given by sources unknown. Because of this, many things have been predetermined in our understanding of life without our knowledge. Words can be perverted and used to manipulate rather than to inform. Symbols can be used to segregate rather than unite. And those given the responsibility and authority to disseminate information to the public possess the ability to do with it as they choose. Although geographically separate, the city-states of London, the Vatican, and the District of Colombia are one interlocking empire called Empire of The City. The flag of Washington’s District of Colombia has three red stars, one for each city-state in the three city empire.
This Corporate Empire of three city-states controls the world economically through London’s inner-city, militarily through the District of Colombia, and spiritually through the Vatican.

If you want to skip over the 911 material, then go to the 34:00 minute marker of this video:  Sofia Adamson, Staff For many of us, there comes a point in life when things feel flat, boring, negative, or even painful; simply put, you find yourself in a rut. Day-to-day life seems to be harder than it should be, and you start to feel stuck… even if it seems like you have everything going for you in terms of a good relationship, family or job. The good news is that this is perfectly normal… and you have the power to change it! By changing a few habits and your mental outlook, you can easily get out of a rut. You only live once, so don’t be afraid to stir things up and try these five tricks that might get you back on track enjoying the beautiful experience of life. 1. Let Go of ExpectationsIt’s easy to get caught up in the pipe dreams that mainstream culture conditions us to believe are the key to happiness: winning the lottery, owning a luxury sports car or the perfect house, finding an attractive partner… or just even finding a partner. Succeeding at the latest get-rich scheme or getting the glamorous job everyone wants. You may think that success, beauty and possessions bring happiness, but in reality happiness comes from within…with inner peace and general well-being. Letting go of expectations regarding job, income, relationships, belongings, appearance, etc. is one of the best ways to find happiness. Once you let go of what you think will make you happy (usually based on conditioning by popular culture and mainstream media), and allow life to just happen, you start to appreciate day-to-day life and enjoy the ride. 2. Embrace ChangeComfort zones are hard to let go of. A daily routine, a job you’re used to, or an established relationship may be making your life stagnant, no matter how hard you try to deny it, and sometimes without you even realizing it. For many of us, change can be difficult… sometimes it’s outright scary. Changing things up may be necessary, especially if you’re in a rut. Often, when you step out of your comfort zone, you find a new zest for life. For some of us the change might be as simple as giving up a weekly happy hour with co-workers that only fills you with gossip and makes you useless for the entire next day as you nurse a hangover. In exchange, you may want to join a yoga studio or martial arts school, keeping you social but also affecting your life in other positive ways. For others, breaking the routine might be more drastic, such as taking a sabbatical from an established career to travel a strange continent, staying at cheap hotels or hostels, meeting people you would have never thought you’d want to talk to, and learning about different approaches to life. 3. Take Time to ReflectIf you find yourself in a rut, take some time to reflect on what’s really happening in your life. If you feel anxious or overwhelmed, make a list of what tasks and routines are bringing these stresses into your life. Perhaps you realize you’re over exaggerating their effect on you. On the other hand, you might find that you need to let go of commitments in order to diminish painful or unpleasant experiences that are diminishing your overall well-being. If you’re feeling stuck or depressed, it is your body telling you something is off in your life. Reflect,meditate, write in a journal – whichever tool you pick, take the time to explore what’s preventing vibrant energy of life from flowing through you. 4. Set Some GoalsYou don’t need to go as far as starting an elaborate bucket list, but set some goals about where you’d like to be in 5-10 years. Or perhaps where you’d like to be in 6-12 months. Once you reflect on your life, you may realize that you’ve attained what you’ve always felt was unattainable, and you need a new pursuit or goal to get your excited about life. New goals might also bring about unexpected changes and challenges, which might seem daunting at first, but are likely to fill you with vigor and snap you right out of your rut. 5. Stop Creating You Own ObstaclesIt’s becoming a known fact that we create our own reality. Using words phrases such as: “I’m trying to”; “It’s not possible for me because…”; “I’d like to but,” creates obstacles in your mind and thus obstacles in your life. Once you’ve identified your stagnant routines or set some new goals, don’t approach them with negative thought. Stop considering all of the possible problems that new changes might bring into your life. Instead, take a positive approach and spend time exploring the variety of new possibilities your actions will invite into your life. Being stuck in a rut can be just as bad as any of the obstacles you can conjure up in the mind, so instead of dwelling of what might go wrong or daydreaming of pre-programmed expectations, take the time to reflect, create a realistic vision, and start taking steps to manifesting the life you’re meant to live.

 Frank Giokas, Contributor Do you think politics is real? In a culture gone to reality programming, with most motion pictures now released in 3-D, virtual reality machinery being released to hungry consumers – we are tested daily in our ability to discern what constitutes truth versus that which can only be deemed a manufactured reality. “You are what you eat” and we eat and process just as much with eyes, ears and brains as with our mouths. Americans are obsessed with an overarching “reality” culture, programmed at root through an array of media manipulation. This culture presents energetic food for the populace, a source of fuel for an agenda-imposed false “reality” prescription. The condition this diet feeds is a warped and false sense of the world, shielding us from eternal truth and timeless knowledge. It changes the way we view and interact with everything around us. And created in its wake is a robotic and growing herd, asleep at the wheel of human consciousness elevation. No better example of this dichotomy exists presently in our culture than in the American political arena’s highest offering: the presidential race. In June 2016, the populace is drawn with intense frenzy to the staged Trump charlatan illusion matched against the dizzying churn of Democratic counterparts to see whom he will face at the most royal of rumbles. In truth – there will be no winner. The only truly realistic components at play in this race, and in modern American politics in general, are ancient control and mind manipulation techniques which have been refined over many thousands of years. The only outcome of these strategies of control is the energetic rape of a misguided populace who will be forced to accept whichever leader they are offered at the close of what is, in truth, just another “reality” show like any other. Many watch political drama in subtle, hazed engagement, not knowing how or why they are so drawn into an election year that makes most want to jump off the edge of Antarctica rather than accept the fate which is coming. Factor in a dizzying array of modern “reality” programmed topics – gay and transgender rights, terrorism, gun control, wars, espionage – and it becomes so hard to distinguish between a TV plot about a presidential race and the actual race itself. Which are we in again? “Reality” in 2016 has become a land of pure illusion while truth is the lost, forgotten essence which we must so consciously dig in which to source great benefit on a daily basis. This art of seeking is a fun, inspiring and enlightening adventure amidst whatever peril may be presented on the “reality” screen of the outside world. Always note – truth is ever alive and present in everything if we choose to look for its glorious, shining light. It is now time to promote and reclaim it as both individuals and a unified consciousness. There is wondrous potential reality which we can all co-create on Earth if we shed the programming, my fellow Americans – before “reality” as we know it is wholly decided for us – while we nod in mind numbing, forced agreement at every turn. The time to break programming is now. The “reality” of American politics is a strongly engrained component of our cultural dynamic. It is one patterned thought prison the elite counts on – your undying devotion to a nation outside the true and most powerful self within. Once you break free of the illusory patterns of media conditioned programming – subtle differences between false “reality” and truth become as plain as differentiating between day and moonlight. Onward we go, to dig below the surface… The culturally programmed “reality” in America is that you as a voter have choice, that your opinion matters and that the contenders who are vying for your support are “real” people just like you. The truth is in essence quite the opposite. In truth, matters of this magnitude are decided for you. We are only programmed to think we have done it ourselves. The key players in this political “reality” show are specially chosen on their willingness to accept scripted roles. And the winner is always chosen not on the merit of their work, or performance record as public servant – but on their genetic bloodline. How do most Americans miss these evident truths, with so much information available via the internet and its effective means to dig below the surface of any topic at a premium in terms of ease – why do most only accept the programmed “reality” at play on the stage of American politics? How does it all work? Mass population control is an ancient tradition stemming back to pre-Egyptian times. Public opinion is steered in a controlled and ordered agenda through non-stop chaos ebb and flow cycles which promote confusion and disillusionment. Out of this chaos is presented seeming and fitting resolution to the concerns of a populace – key answers to problems both big and small – which regardless if they appease each individual’s personal needs, supply a temporary sense of subconscious relaxation. The tense energy of conflict thus eases and mood aligns with a false sense of peace. Order out of disorder.Organized chaos programming. Systemically, and not surprising to note, “order” is always instilled at the hands of courts, a military branch or government decreeing or amending law. Mass culture at large breathes its collective false sigh of relief and accepts the final outcome over time, regardless if they are in agreement with the resolution or not. The mission is one of forced acceptance. Your ruling elite does not trust you with their order systems. They will do anything in their power to own it for themselves. The end result is control – to design and own “reality” using fear and disorder to manipulate and control en masse. To subconsciously direct the populace in whichever way the agenda programmers wish it moved. The aim? To enslave human consciousness under one “accepted,” totalitarian and regimented order system – all the while, breeding a culture of citizens nodding in full robotic acceptance to an illusory version of “reality.” One they are forced to support. With leaders they are told to obey. A culture of sheep told where and what to graze, steadily herded over time through hills and valleys of strategically planned trauma based cycles to drive a confused flock, against their true nature, to a predetermined end goal in an outcome structure decided for them. Control by any means necessary is an American political “reality.” But what about freedom of choice? The theatrical game at play in a presidential election cycle, through ancient and time tested magic, is to make it feel as though you – as a conscious energetic participant in the process – have chosen your leader. This is false “reality” programmed at the core of the American political system. The truth is that the next president has always been chosen for you, through years of strategic, planned and steered agenda programming as well as through a constituent’s genetic bloodline. The rise of any presidency consists of countless subliminal pokes and prods to the subconscious of a populace at every step of the campaign process. These help to keep the herd in line and reinforce that the predetermined final destination is ensured and more importantly, accepted. In the current exploratory example, Clinton’s primary contender, Bernie Sanders, stands for high morals and is loved by the youth of his nation. Sanders does not carry the required ancient bloodline to rule. Thus in truth, he never stood a chance to win. But a picture was painted that he could save a nation in peril. This was his role, to present a false hope model, and he agreed just like all the others to enlist his prowess in this politically staged “reality” show. In depicting Sanders initially as the top Democratic frontrunner, and then slowly disallowing his potential to attain nomination through consistent, slow moving, yet focused media manipulation, a trauma based agenda worked effectively to drain all the highly charged, vital, energetic hope from Americans who desired an “anything but Clinton” presidency. And flipped it – in forced acceptance patterned programming – to Clinton.  Through ancient ritual manipulation, Sanders’ supporters were subliminally transformed into a coerced acceptance team for Clinton – in an ensuing “reality” TV party war against Republican nod, Donald Trump – a “reality” TV star of recent memory in his own right. This play effectively puts two constituents who share bloodline connection to English royalty as the head to head “combatants” for the 2016 American presidency. Clinton and Trump are related through their genealogy. Bloodline is the backbone of theillusion of “choice” in American politics. In truth, both sides play for the same team, and victory is ensured by effectively controlling this myth of polarity. It ensures the forced acceptance agenda – for either way you “choose” – you decide in a favor decided for you. And thus the herded American public accepts another forced ruler, as 300 million are moved down pasture mostly undisturbed. How does this entire process seem to work so smoothly and without intense public recoil? “Reality” control mechanisms are the lifeblood of the elite. As such, they are highly evolved, energetically charged and effective. Their measures are engineered and maintained in military-like strategy to plan. In the trauma of the example above, a low frequency signal of defeated hope and lost love for Sanders’ supporters is used to magically instill a negatively charged mass acceptance ritual on the Democratic public. A transfer of power through energetic coercion takes place, shifting the line of focus from those who were die hard supporters invested in Bernie Sanders to become an accepted, numbed out, cornered and forced lot supporting Hillary Clinton. The once high frequency signals of Sanders’ campaign – change, evolution, passion, grassroots, power of the common man/woman – are replaced through traumatic ritual with a single, subliminal message that resonates through the populace: “your dreams are broken, submit to acceptance of what is to come.” People subconsciously equate the only foreseeable option as Democratic electoral participants – to side with Clinton – in hopes that it will disallow a Trump victory. The rouse is very much hidden in plain sight. Both parties play for the same team, connected by ancient bloodline. And in casting a vote for either, you are only deciding in favor of a decision decided for you. When a populace accepts this programmed illusion of “reality,” there exists an important trade-off. The energetic price human beings pay for their blind and willing acceptance of such charade and idolatry is steep. Do not be fooled and please make high note. The energy toyed with in presidential election ritual magic is real, innate human energy – life essence – of an invested populace. This human energy is exchanged as spiritual currency, and consciously abused by American leadership and their model of governance. Real, human energy – taken from a deep soul level – and manipulated by a faction of humanity who only seek to use it for control, ownership, repression; to devalue it as nothing more than a pound of flesh trading hands in the mystical rouse of American politics. The key component to such a grand illusion lies in who commands subconscious human energy. The rouse of American politics must be so profound and spellbinding in every sense, so as to create the undeniable, deeply rooted feeling in the public that they have, without doubt, chosen freely their elected leader through their own volition. Through “choice” and an “evolved” American Democratic system. In truth, there is no “choice.” Political “reality” is staging and steering the event through programming. The illusory belief of our American voting public “choosing” their leader is the foundational fraud in programmed “reality” conditioning. It is the ultimate sale of false goods – humanity spends their energetic currency in hopes of aligning with a leader they value. And in exchange they are sold a golden cattle prod which enslaves them as a populace. Power to the people is not honored. It is stolen. And twisted. They play you – against you through mass hypnotic conditioning – confusing, distorting and dismantling true humanity and vital energetic essence at every step. Consciousness is real. The leaders who hold high office know this truth. And instead of working to truly honor and elevate it for the betterment of our world, they use the truth of this knowledge against their populace. Culture is flooded with propaganda to prevent your truth to shine. “Reality” programming in all its tainted offering appeals to one thing: ego. And those who feed upon its warped sense of the world adapt its conditioning, falling under hypnotic trance. Falling asleep to truth hidden in the shadows of its construct. It beckons one question. If humans are asleep – who then sits in control? Those who program culture. But humanity must agree subconsciously to accept these false “reality” models in order for them to work. Without the mass hypnotic allowance of a governed populace, the whole magic trick of election, power, order, structure, “reality” – the entire “house of cards” – would fall apart. Think deeply on this matter – Humans do in truth hold the key. If we can fully awaken to the conscious knowing that our culture is manipulated and force fed a “reality” of pure illusion – we can take the steps to reaffirm ownership of our true reality. In truth, America’s presidential election process is heavily mystified, rigged, manipulated and controlled with painstaking subtlety from all sides. The program infests every aspect of culture – news, television, movies, celebrities, sports, halftime shows – in order to support its agenda. Part and parcel of a planned, chaotic and turbulent labyrinth meant to distort and disorient the senses of a populace in order to direct a dizzied herd. American election cycles have strategically pre-planned start and end points, with scripted peaks and valleys acted out in between. And within “reality” programming cycles utilizing trauma-based manipulation creating a confused and fractured populace – there is a war going on. And it is not to be taken lightly. At stake is ownership and value of the truth, brightness, strength, power, wisdom and spiritually pure heart of the innate human being. By shedding light on the darkness, we change our perception. Change our paradigm as humans. The era of human energetic currency used to fuel a system who demoralizes and tricks its participants can be over – if we consciously choose it to be. If we choose – as a unified human vehicle – to stop taking this same ride over and over and over again. As an attendee to election season ritual, one pays their fare, a personally charged energetic token, and agrees to take the roller coaster ride. And after the twists and turns augmenting their sense of “reality,” making participants afraid and vulnerable along the way – one will be let off at the same predetermined stop as everyone else, regardless of where you thought you were headed. But don’t just take my word for it – allow the current facilitator of this most highly enigmatic role we so value in America to so succinctly tell you, it’s “because when people are scared, then strange things can happen in politics.” – Barack Obama, February 2016. The truth to large control agendas in the political forum is always hidden in plain sight. And with a small scratch below the surface of falsified “reality,” we can shed the light of truth. The time to allow our spirits to connect with higher functionalities – love, honor and self-governance – to take back our present is once again being asked. We are as human beings here to learn and grow in both individual ways as well as to support expansions of a much greater unified consciousness. We are most powerful – more powerful than we are allowed to understand under the current paradigm of false “reality” programming. There is no better opportunity for human evolutionary consciousness in 2016 to grow than to be open to the understanding that in American politics, the viewing public is experiencing a “reality” show – being acted out on a stage – in front of an arena of millions of wide open, yet sleeping eyes. Eyes which can be awakened. The political characters in this drama are pure charlatans with a complex script and overarching through-line agenda. Though the “reality” is that you have a choice of one of two sides in this matchup meant to twist and confuse your senses, the truth is that all sides of major American politics play for the same team. And in truth – 43 out of 44 “elected” American presidents have direct bloodline relation to King John of England who signed the Magna Carta in 1215. There is much to learn beneath the surface of American politics. Never be afraid to dig – it will expose the light and you will be set free. “Scratch the surface, serve a purpose.” About the AuthorFrank Giokas is a native of the northeastern US.

 Derrick Broze, Contributor To understand the roots of the oppression, erosion of liberties, and invasion of privacy that has become the new norm for Americans, we must go back to the days following the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. Immediately following the attacks of September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush was promising Americans that he would exact revenge on those who dare attack the empire. Dubya’s program of “Shock and Awe” gave the American public an upfront look at what the U.S. military was prepared to do to the enemies of “freedom and democracy.” The bombing of Iraq was only the beginning of a larger conflict that the Bush Administration dubbed “The Global War on Terror.” The War on Terror did not end in the physical battlefield, however. The U.S. government was determined to root out all possible terrorist activity and in the process roll back as many of America’s hard-earned liberties as possible. Only 45 days after the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. Congress passed the infamous USA PATRIOT Act, typically known as simply the Patriot Act. The full Orwellian title is the “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.” The Patriot Act dramatically expanded the U.S. government’s abilities to monitor emails and landline phone calls, as well as also allowed access to voicemail through a search warrant rather than through a title III wiretap order. There is also section 215 of the Patriot Act, which has been used to justify mass surveillance programs by the National Security Agency. The Patriot Act also vastly increased the use of National Security Letters, a tool used by the government to force telecommunications companies to give customer information without the use of a warrant from a judge. The NSLs are typically issued by the FBI to gather information from companies when related to national-security investigations. This information can include customer names, addresses, phone and Internet records, and banking and credit statements. The NSL also requires employees who have been questioned to be silenced via a gag order which prevents them from notifying anyone that the government is invading customers’ privacy. Interestingly, many Americans are unaware that the Patriot Act was in fact written before the attacks of 9/11 (see this and this). Not only was the bill written and ready to be released at the right moment, at least one of the bills which spawned the Patriot Act was written by Vice President Joe Biden while he was still a senator in Delaware. In 2008 CNET reported: The Center for National Security Studies said (Biden’s) bill would erode “constitutional and statutory due process protections” and would “authorize the Justice Department to pick and choose crimes to investigate and prosecute based on political beliefs and associations.” Biden himself draws parallels between his 1995 bill and its 2001 cousin. “I drafted a terrorism bill after the Oklahoma City bombing. And the bill John Ashcroft sent up was my bill,” he said when the Patriot Act was being debated, according to the New Republic, which described him as “the Democratic Party’s de facto spokesman on the war against terrorism.” Biden’s chronology is not accurate: the bombing took place in April 1995 and his bill had been introduced in February 1995. But it’s true that Biden’s proposal probably helped to lay the groundwork for the Bush administration’s Patriot Act. The advancing tyranny that has resulted from the Patriot Act, and the bills which preceded it, has led to what we see in America in 2016. The bulk of American communications are now scanned, monitored, stored in a database, and analyzed for signs of terrorism. The NSA has even built a giant database in Utah to handle all of this data. Big Brother and Big sister are listening through an array of devices. Cell site simulators aka stingrays, Automatic License Plate Readers, Audio recording devices aka gunshot detectors, hidden cameras and microphones in public, thermal imaging planes and drones. While most Americans are familiar with the dangers and civil liberties violations of the Patriot Act, many may be ignorant to the other steps taken by the U.S. government in their misguided War on Terror. In January 2002, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency responsible for all of the exciting and terrifying emerging military technologies, established the Information Awareness Office (IAO). The creation of the IAO was to bring together several DARPA projects that focused on using surveillance and data mining to track and monitor terrorists and other threats to U.S. National Security. In November 2002, the New York Times reported that DARPA was developing a classified tracking program called “Total Information Awareness” (TIA), which was intended to detect terrorists by studying millions of pieces of data. The program was designed to create huge databases to gather and store personal data from emails, social media, credit card records, phone calls, medical history, and online history, without the need for a search warrant. The program also featured a biometric component that could be seen as a predecessor to the current FBI biometric database. The Electronic Privacy Information Center said the goal of TIA was “to track individuals through collecting as much information about them as possible and using computer algorithms and human analysis to detect potential activity.” The man behind TIA was Vice Adm. John M. Poindexter, the former national security adviser in the Reagan administration, who was convicted in 1990 for his role in the Iran-contra affair. Poindexter’s conviction would later be overturned by a federal appeals court because he was granted immunity in exchange for testifying about his wrongdoing. Poindexter argued that the U.S. government must be granted even more powers than were given in the Patriot Act. In 2002, The NY Times reported that Poindexter believes “the government needs to ‘break down the stovepipes’ that separate commercial and government databases, allowing teams of intelligence agency analysts to hunt for hidden patterns of activity with powerful computers.” Poindexter’s actions were criticized by many computer and security experts, including Barbara Simon, a computer scientist and past president of Association of Computing Machinery, who foreshadowed the coming Surveillance State with a warning that,”Once you’ve got it in place you can’t control it.” “In some ways, Poindexter is the perfect Orwellian figure for the perfect Orwellian project,” Jonathan Turley, a professor of constitutional law at George Washington University wrote for the LA Times in November 2002. “As a man convicted of falsifying and destroying information, he will now be put in charge of gathering information on every citizen. To add insult to injury, the citizens will fund the very system that will reduce their lives to a transparent fishbowl.”  FILM: ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ (1984) starring John Hurt and Richard Burton. Public criticism of the TIA would grow so loud that Congress was forced to defund the entire IAO in 2003. However, many Americans correctly suspected that the programs were still being developed, only under different names, using different agencies. This fact would later be confirmed by Edward Snowden’s surveillance leaks of 2013; however, for those paying close attention, it was known for at least 7 years before the Snowden leaks. In 2006, the National Journal obtained documents which they said proved that the TIA had been moved from DARPA to another group which focused on building spying technology for the National Security Agency. The Journal reported: Two of the most important components of the TIA program were moved to the Advanced Research and Development Activity, housed at NSA headquarters in Fort Meade, Md., documents and sources confirm. One piece was the Information Awareness Prototype System, the core architecture that tied together numerous information extraction, analysis, and dissemination tools developed under TIA. The prototype system included privacy-protection technologies that may have been discontinued or scaled back following the move to ARDA. The Journal outlines how the system was moved and renamed. In 2002 the consulting firm Hicks & Associates, reportedly run by former Defense and military officials, was awarded a $19 million contract to build the prototype for TIA. Internal emails obtained by the Journal show Hicks executive, Brian Sharkey, informing his employees of the name change. “We will be describing this new effort as ‘Basketball,’ ” Sharkey wrote. Another e-mail reminded the company’s staff that “TIA has been terminated and should be referenced in that fashion.” The Journal also pointed out that another TIA project known as Genoa II was renamed Topsail and moved to ARDA. Genoa was focused on pre-empting crime, an early predecessor for pre-crime technologies. “As recently as October 2005, SAIC was awarded a $3.7 million contract under Topsail,” the Journal wrote. When attempting to question the Senate Intelligence Committee about whether or not the TIA’s programs were simply renamed and moved, Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon told by Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte and FBI Director Robert Mueller that they didn’t know. However, Negroponte’s deputy, Gen. Michael V. Hayden, said, “I’d like to answer in closed session.” Hayden would go on to become the director of the Central Intelligence Agency and director of the NSA among other spy agencies. Finally, in 2013, even the magazine Scientific American was forced to acknowledge that the Total Information Awareness never ended. Edward Snowden had made it perfectly clear by that point that Americans are living in a Surveillance State. In fact, in an interview with WIRED, intelligence analyst James Bamford said the NSA’s $2 billion facility in Utah “is, in some measure, the realization of the ‘total information awareness’ program created during the first term of the Bush administration—an effort that was killed by Congress in 2003 after it caused an outcry over its potential for invading Americans’ privacy.” Welcome to the Age of Total Information Awareness. A place where free people of the world voluntarily give up what little bit of privacy they maintain via social media tags, check ins, and constant self-surveillance. If you care about privacy (and you should if you care about freedom) then it’s time to start openly resisting the prying eyes and ears of the State and begin investing in new technologies that can disrupt the spying and protect our private lives.

 Dylan Charles, Editor “Remember. All I’m offering is the truth. Nothing Else.” – Morpheus, The Matrix Are we merely sentient programs, bound from birth to death to the directives of our masters and the chains of the Matrix? Or are we multi-dimensional beings, continuously striving for deeper and deeper connection to spirit, whether conscious or not of this automatic effort? What tools have we been given to find the answers to these questions, and why are they prohibited? Medicine for the MatrixFull-spectrum dominance of our well-being is carried out by the joint efforts of government, corporations, social engineering programs, consumer training through marketing and peer pressure, the modern medical establishment, and the entertainment industrial complex. The definition of ‘medicine’ has been co-opted in recent decades by the pharmaceutical paradigmwhich seeks to find only symptoms then sell us temporary masks for those symptoms… for insane profit. For the entirety of human history up to the present, medicine has been an integral part of human life, as important as air, food and water, and the purpose of healing has always been to drill straight down to the root of an issue and resolve it completely, once and for all. A singular part of what has popularly become known as ‘the Matrix,’ the corporate/medical establishment has become the chief prison warden of the mind, body and spirit, whose role it is to incarcerate us in a state of degraded physical, mental, and spiritual health. This is the the slave master that keeps us in line when the symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, sickness and despair, the results of our enslavement to the Matrix, become so overwhelming that we seek external help for survival. For centuries, millennia even, human kind has depended on medicine in it’s natural, not chemical forms, and now a total shift towards dependence on prescription based medicine has re-trained us to shun the very cures which have the most potential to liberate us into health and happiness. There is no doubt that those self-tasked with permitting which remedies are available in our society have a vested interest in keeping us locked into this paradigm, for, a person who has knowledge of self and access to the medicines which most properly serve and honor our individuality is inescapably free. “You’re a ghost, driving a meat skeleton made of stardust on a rock hurtling through space.” -Unknown Human beings have two inherent identities. Most familiar to us is the visceral human form that binds us to the material world in flesh and bone, acting as transport for mind and spirit in our journey from birth to death. The higher self, our soul, is the part of us which exists infinitely as cosmic consciousness, fueled by love, knowing everything at once and for all, existing in total freedom from the constraints of time and space. “We, as humans, live simultaneously in 2 worlds. I will refer to these 2 worlds as the physical world and the spirit world. These 2 worlds exist simultaneously and both worlds are wrapped around and through the other. To understand Life, one must know what is happening in both worlds. We are all very familiar with this physical world. We are aware of it through our 5 physical senses: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. Everything we perceive through these senses tells us about the nature of physical world. But we also have senses that allow us to know the nature of the spirit world such as intuition and spiritual vision seen through the ‘third eye.’ Generally speaking, most people don’t understand these senses or how to use them to understand what is happening in the spirit world. In most cultures outside of central Africa, most people have forgotten how to use these senses. As a result, the senses of the physical world become dominant and only under unusual conditions are these spiritual senses realized.” – Gary Cook, Iboga Wellness The Matrix has as it’s primary objective the task of disconnecting us from the soul and the extreme aggrandizement of the material, so that we may be used as batteries and as automatons to fuel the lavish existences of our controllers. It achieves this through desensitization by overexposure to violence, hatred, fear, pollution and scarcity, while limiting deep connection to each other, to nature, and to the most humane experiences. Acts of terror are amplified, echoed and repeated in the mainstream media, while the achievements of love and compassion are minimized, ridiculed and diminished in their meaning and significance. We are prevented from realizing the depths of our enslavement by the limits placed on our spiritual discovery, rarely if ever able to even glimpse at the totality of the damage that has been inflicted upon the psyche by the continual bombardment of fear, conflict, war and nihilism. Our shock is weaponized and used against us, and we find little, if any, solace, in the corrupt and tired religious traditions of the modern world. Pharmaceuticals, by design, dull the emotional being and narrow the range of human feeling. Alcohol is recommended and pimped in our culture to further numb the senses and amplify negativity. Food is denatured, devoid of nutrition, and poisoned to weaken the body and darkly color the mind. As shining examples of success, those that do the most damage to the natural environment are held in great esteem as pioneers of capitalism, teaching us the false value of trading life for profit and encouraging disrespect for that which sustains us. Our communities and infrastructure have been engineered to discourage human interaction because without an abundance of human contact we are unable to fully grasp the true state of the human condition: despair. We only take notice of the outer appearances of our brothers and sisters, their consumer adornments and their extrinsic, soulless possessions, thus we predictably over-appreciate material accomplishments. The rich human history of relation to spirit, and the triumphs of the heart are continuously erased and supplanted with memories of conquest and destruction, the worst of all human endeavors. All of this horror is pumped into the psyche without reprieve, deepening the abyss of our condition.  The Real ‘Red Pill’“Unfortunately no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.” -Morpheus, The Matrix There is a genuine ‘Red Pill‘ that reveals, confronts and combats the tyranny of the matrix and each of its attempts to debilitate the mind, body and spirit. It is called iboga, and it is prohibited by law in most western nations. For perhaps thousands of years, the root bark of the rather unassuming jungle shrub, tabernanthe ibogahas been consumed by indigenous rainforest cultures of ecuatorial Africa as a medicine and teacher for life. It’s usage is not complicated, however, it’s effect on the human being is simply indescribable with language, something that can only be understood through direct experience. Under the guidance of a proper shaman, the bark from the plant’s roots is scraped, collected and ingested… “…opening up an introspective experience where a connection is made with an over-soul or cosmic consciousness that assists the mind in a deep examination of the self from an objective, omniscient and timeless perspective. In this, a process of self-revelation unfolds which unravels one’s past, offering life-changing insights and liberation from accumulated self-judgments and harmful thought patterns. For 12-24 hours the patient lies still, with blindfolded eyes, in a bizarre dream-like state where the brain behaves as if in REM sleep, but, while the conscious mind remains awake, very alert and able to interact with and direct the content of the mental journey. As the experience deepens, the barrier between the conscious and sub-conscious mind seems to dissolve, and the information in the sub-conscience becomes available for review and rejection by the reflective self. In this, a lifetime’s worth of learned mental processes, memories, emotional impressions, false judgments and psychological conditioning that combine to inform and instruct the self are presented to the patient in rapid fire fashion… a sort of high velocity behind-the-scenes tour of one’s personality. A multi-dimensional impression of one’s character emerges, and they are given an incredible opportunity to re-assess or reject misunderstood feelings, traumatic events, implanted suggestions, negative self-images, and habitual behaviors.” -Dylan Charles, Opiates, Iboga and the Roots of Self-Destruction Full-Specturm Matrix DeprogrammingThe type of multi-dimensional self-revelation and curative introspection brought forth by a spiritual journey of this magnitude has three fundamental properties: physical healing, spiritual healing and spiritual discovery. Attacking at once every pillar of the Matrix, revealing in vivid, high-definition clarity its various strangleholds on the sub-conscious, it is common for westerners to experience their first journey as a heavy, full-spectrum examination of the most warped and damning contents that infect the mind and spirit. Fear is a weapon of mass destruction, one that we are encouraged to feel, but discouraged to confront. Iboga cuts right through our reluctance to stare into this abyss, presenting the initiate with a visceral opportunity to dive into the harsh truth that we carry buried with us in our daily lives. Through an intoxicating spiritual trance, iboga can behave as a semi-automatic, virtual-reality, worse-case-scenario generator of sorts, allowing us to finally see just how disturbed and jaded we’ve become and how thoroughly we are able to cover and conceal our darkness. All the horrors the haunt us from behind the veil of consciousness are finally brought into the light. Renowned for its ability to cleanse and decalcify the pineal, opening wide the third eye, iboga reaches out to us in crystal clear inner vision, allowing us to see with intense clarity the events, memories and repressed suggestions, that subjugate our goodness and harden the heart. Highly respected as well for its effective and hasty treatment of PTSD, iboga unlocks the cages within the mind that limit our capacity to see beyond the terrors of being human in these troubling times. Trauma, such as the kind suffered in violence and sexual abuse, is exposed, then rendered powerless in the process of bearing full witness. Revered for its ability to interrupt addiction to drugs, self-destructive behaviors and toxic thought processes, the medicine offers desperate liberation for those stuck in perpetual conflict with themselves. The highly alkaline shamanic medicine also performs a complete physical and mental detox, leaving in its wake lightness and ease in the body, along with intense mental clarity and focus. Leading Us HomeAs an entheogenic plant medicine that permits direct contact and consultation with an ancient earthly and unmistakably benevolent spirit, once the heaviness of our contemporary existence is uncovered and diffused, to complete the journey, iboga reveals its true nature of loving intention to the participant. First expanding the lower, darker ranges of our human experience, it springs us from the traps which bind and hold us back, with the aim of freeing us into the stunning totality of our highest selves. To do so, it takes us soaring into the vast and limitless cosmos of the self to find, hold council with, seek guidance and forgiveness from, and re-connect with our very own individual soul, as well as the souls of our ancestors, so that we may recapture our personal history, and experience the unconditional love that is the true foundation of being human. The end result is liberation and enduring happiness. HomeIt is precisely due to this genuinely holistic capacity to heal and enlighten that our rat-race, driven-from-the-top culture has shunned, persecuted and even outlawed the usage of iboga: for the matrix cannot and will not permit freedom of this depth and significance. The matrix simply cannot have a world full of free-spirited, happy souls, for it is impossible to enslave someone who lives with certainty of their own power and purpose, liberated from fear and loving of the self.

 freefall, Guest As much as anything else, the enemy wants us spiritually compromised. When I launch into my tirades to the troops, invariably I have an awakened veteran give me a bad time about it. He still hasn’t forgiven himself and this detracts from his ability fight for the cause in the way he was meant to do so. You’re not supposed to wait for the next phase; you’re supposed to do what you can to wake up enough of this current batch of “king’s men” so it doesn’t have to be this way. I’m not sure a better world has ever been created after a bloodbath. These wars are also about fighting for a lost cause because that does something negative to the soul of a soldier also. They either spend the rest of their lives lying to themselves and believing the lies from others about how they “fought for freedom” or at some point they choose to face the music. The first step for all of us who will ever awaken is to admit that we were duped. It’s just that the consequences of a soldier’s actions are most extreme, especially on a spiritual level. But we need you to come back now—come back to yourself. Take responsibility for your actions and forgive yourself for the ignorance of youth. You were just given the opportunity to do more damage than most of us (as I listen to the screams coming from Milgram’s minions in the background). The one true righteous war, the fight for freedom, is coming soon. If you are cut from the type of cloth in which you know that the violence will never quite leave you, it would be best that you put it to good use. For those who find this last statement offensive, how’s that mass awakening going for the people of Venezuela right now? The last I heard, many of them were eating their pets just to stay alive. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t get any worse than that unless it’s “Soylent Green” time. I find it unbelievable that so many “awakened” people have no extra supplies or weapons to defend themselves against aggressors after the bottom falls out. It reminds me of the Jesus-freaks waiting for the rapture. Is there no pragmatic side to this awakening? Will we not need food and other supplies before we can build a better world after collapse? If evil comes for us before the consciousness arrives that could save us from this misery, do you really think we should just let ourselves be enslaved or murdered? Sorry, but that is not my way; it is not the way for many of us. And because we are living in accordance with natural law, I don’t much care what other people think of us. Looking back at history, America has had its problems when it comes to doing the right thing. But how is that different than any other empire throughout history? It’s the same old story time and time again—“might makes right.” And when the laws first meant to protect us from this situation end up protecting those who are violating us at every level, you can see that nothing has ever really changed. So here we go again. I didn’t want this and I will hold out as best I can when it comes to using violence. But I will not hesitate to defend myself and my loved ones with lethal force if and when it becomes necessary. For those having this same intent, it’s time to let go of past guilts and traumas. There is nothing left to feel guilty about regarding your past. And there certainly is nothing to feel guilty about regarding what you may be called to do in the future. As for myself, whatever sins I’ve committed have been paid for by being cast down into this society of such hellish designs. And although I will remain forever grateful for my continuing awakening, I can find no good reason to lay down and die to those who have so wantonly squandered this same opportunity. +++ ZenGardner.com About the Authorfreefall is a contributor in ZenGardner.com.

 Kerry Creaswood, Contributor There’s a fundamental question that’s been asked for ages – are your brain and your mind the same thing? If not, what’s the difference? First, let’s take a look at the standard definition of mind: “The element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought.” – Merriam-Webster Now let’s look at how they define brain: “An organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating center of sensation and intellectual and nervous activity.” – Merriam-Webster The first thing you’ll notice is that the definitions are very different. The second thing is that the mind focuses more on thoughts and feelings, while the brain focuses more on physical features. There is no doubt that what you are thinking originates in the brain, but are the mind and the brain the same thing? Is there more to our consciousness then just the firing of neurons across soft tissue? Most people use mind and brain interchangeably. The truth is that in order for them to be the same thing, the mind needs to be made up entirely from the brain. In reality, your mind does not care what your brain thinks. Psychologists think that the mind can actually control your brain. Your Mind Can SmileA great example of how the mind and the brain are actually two different components is by examining your ability to smile. “For example, your brain will interpret the muscles you use to smile as a sign of happiness, even if you are sad. Thus, you can trick the brain into thinking you are happy by placing a pencil in your mouth and biting down on it, because you use the same muscles. Likewise, cortisol levels that habituate slowly are misread as the continuing presence of threat, even though the threat does not exist. This is problematic for the brain, which has not evolved much; it is not problematic for the mind, which constantly changes.” – Billi Gordon Ph.D. This is what really separates the two. Your mind is something that is constantly evolving based on feelings and experiences. The brain is only there to interpret these things and provide feedback. This means that the mind is really about your desires and the subconscious self. You can form opinions and change them without any input from the brain. This is why there are mental health benefits from just changing your habits. Right and WrongYour mind and the brain cannot possibly be the same thing as they do not share the same attributes. The brain is highly physical in nature. It can process physical pain, which helps you react to danger. It can process light to ensure your eyes operate at optimal efficiency. However, the brain cannot decide whether or not to walk to work or ride a bicycle. It cannot decide if you should call your mother this weekend or not. In fact, the brain cannot make any decisions. The brain is like a computer that simply takes input and provides an output. Decisions are emotional, not logical. Your brain may store the information, but it is up to the mind how to use it. Your brain cannot tell the difference between right and wrong. It is up to your mind to sort that out. The brain simply takes physical inputs and translates them. Much like the smile example above, the mind is able to manipulate the brain. If you can change your mind on whether or not something is right or wrong, your brain will react accordingly, even if the outcome is identical. For example, if you made up your mind to push someone over for no reason, your mind knows this is wrong, and you will feel bad. These feelings are communicated to the brain, which causes you to physically feel sadness, regret, etc. If you push someone over to help them avoid getting hit by a train, your mind knows that this is right, and you will feel good. These feelings are communicated to the brain, which causes you to physically feel joy, happiness, etc. Even though the exact same action and result occurred physically, your brain processed them in two different ways and sends two different signals to your body. What affected this different responses was in the mind, through the decision you made. About the AuthorKerry Creaswood is a blogger from Savannah, Georgia.

Why does the US corporate government seem hell-bent on controlling this part of the world? The answers that first come to mind are the obvious ones: it would obviously be hegemony over oil, which finances cabal cartels and illegal drug trafficking. These in turn finance more wars and false flag events like an endless feedback loop of terror, meant to impress fear upon our unwitting minds. There are other insidious truths beneath the surface though, and once revealed, these shed light on the US mafia’s obsession with this particular patch of the planet. The Federal Reserve’s Connection to the Never-ending War in the Middle EastForemost, we must rhetorically ask: Are the true intentions of the US corporate government every really known? ISIS generates up to $1 billion annually from Afghan heroin. That’s just the traceable money. Then, there’s the Rothschild Khazarian mafia, including the Bush and Clinton clans, who help to perpetuate the 1913 buy-out of our country by a few select families through the creation of the Unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act. Under this act, a bank, which creates money out of thin air on computer screens, can then lend money to other countries at ridiculous rates of interest, committing the worst version of usury. If they can’t pay it back, government goons make them slaves. If a country should resist repayment, they simply kill their people. Usury to Pay the War MachineThere are many abominations caused by usury, in and of itself. Notwithstanding, we buy poisoned GM food and water to try to cut cost, to pay the User; we have monetized basic human needs while absolutely pissing on the planet, also to pay the User; or we work harder and harder to pay off debts that simply grow ever larger, to pay the User – but I digress. Should you think this Afghan/Iraqi/Syrian/Lebanon obsession is simply about oil and controlling the latest evil dictator, I offer this bit of information. We, as in our military acting on behalf of the US mafia, stole several billion dollars from the Iraqi people when we first occupied Iraq. The reparations that were promised to this war-torn country were never given. (If you want to see just how badly the US mafia pillaged Iraq, watch this video.) We didn’t just steal their money and their oil, we killed our own people and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people as well in the process. Who profited from this massacre? The banking families did. They always finance both sides of the war. This is evidenced in the military contracts given out to Halliburton (more specifically, its spin-off KBR) and Raytheon, like a dentist giving out lollipops to children. Military contractors made a tidy $138 billion profit from the war (before the latest attempts to put US soldiers there yet again.) Contractors also made millions from ‘rebuilding’ the country. A report on military contractors tasked with rebuilding the country after we ruined it, highlights massive-sale waste and incompetency. When these mafia banking families found oil, they made an extreme effort to activate relationships in the Middle East, that then the U.S. government followed.For example, in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, they gained access to oil money, and then recycled it into Latin American debt and other forms of lending throughout the globe. This led the U.S. government. Our foreign policy was dictated by the Mafioso. These Mafioso are controlled by powers that are likely not even from this planet. Iraq’s oil is now disappearing into Turkey via ISIS. Supposedly, a captured Islamic State militant told Sputnik news, a Russian news outlet, that Turkey is involved in illegal oil deals with the Jihadist group up to the hilt. Is it truly a surprise that U.S. Secretary of Defense, Ash Carter, admitted earlier this year that there would be U.S. boots on the ground in Iraq in order to “help defeat the Islamic State group, which has strongholds in the north of the country and in neighboring Syria?” War for Our ConsciousnessThis is not a war just about oil. It is a war about money and power. More than that, it is a war for ourconsciousness. What if there was a technology that could render Mind Kontrol, pedophilia rings, and other tools used by the dark side, null and void? Sure, it is all about oil, drugs and money, but it could also be a war about something even more valuable. In order to understand what else is at stake, we have to go back a few several thousand years. We have to go pre-9/11 to even get to a modicum of the truth about why we keep invading Iraq, Syria and the surrounding areas. Beyond the Oil Trillions is an ArkSupposedly the Ark of the Covenant, also known by Christians as ‘Noah’s Ark’ and by mystics as a non-earthly technology device that allows for inter-dimensional travel by opening a wormhole, specifically by raising the consciousness of the person who sits upon it, was once held in Ethiopia. A few years ago the Ethiopian Orthodox Church said that the Ark was stolen. It is said to have been relocated to Iraq. 2,500 tablets corroborating stories around the Ark’s existence were also found there. Of course, there are many tales of where the Ark may have been relocated, including one suggesting Vladimir Putin has taken it into space, or to Antarctica, all of which should be taken with a grain of salt. However, the true power of the Ark of the Covenant, which is likely just a form of technology used by advanced civilizations to travel unhindered through space/time, is also a likely key to revealing how our own civilization can unchain itself from the shackles of the cabal. William Henry who has studied ancient mystic Christian art as it specifically relates to the Ark of the Covenant, tells us: “But when you go over to Christian art, yeah, you will see a cloud. You will see him [Jesus] standing on a cloud, like the Buddhist cloud-riders, for example, but more often than not, there’s a precedence for his ascension taking place in a blue sphere, where he is even portrayed as a blue being. And then he is ascending into the stars through this blue sphere, or returning to Earth in this blue sphere. It’s clearly some kind of a transportation vehicle.” Henry explains that Jesus is depicted seated upon a small box, or stool, which is thought to be the Ark, or a wormhole accessed by a transcendent consciousness. It was also depicted in ancient Egyptian art at the Temple of Hathor at Dendera and the Temple of Horus. Worm-Hole AscensionHenry also explains that we all have the inherent ability to activate our own ‘worm-hole,’or light body, which would allow us complete dominion over ourselves, but in a different, non-earthly form than that which we currently experience. Even without an Ark, we can, by elevating our consciousness, activate the same technology that the cabal so perniciously covets. If we were all to experience a connection to a higher, more pure realm where a more perfect version of ourselves dwelt, we would no longer war, famine and perish. Through simple practices like meditation, eating cleanly, acting kindly, and having concern for others over ourselves, we can attain the same radiant body, termed by the Christian gnostics, or rainbow body, as named by the Tibetan Buddhists. Any technology which would allow people to travel astrally, or access other timelines, would obviously be worth trillions, and more to a devil-worshiping cabal, but here’s the secret: the Ark represents a technology you can develop within yourself without any external accouterments. I am not saying that grace is not involved. I am also not saying that other, more ascended beings, won’t help us once we are on a clear path to obtaining this light, or ‘radiant’ body, but we cannot be distracted by Iraq. By Syria. Turkey, either. Don’t be conned by yet another war in the Middle East (or anywhere else), or by trying to figure out why that war could really be raging. All you have to do is set yourself free. Like a butterfly leaving its chrysalis, fly high. This is the transfiguration. It’s our time. About the AuthorChristina Sarich is a staff writer for Waking Times.

 I compare a patent application with what at least one company can deliver to the unknowing public now. Thanks to researcher Mary Baker for showing me an explosive patent application and its implications. Before getting to the details, the overview is this: a technology exists to embed tiny invisible particles in food products, and these particles can deliver nutrients and drugs and vaccines. Apparently, the technology has existed for at least 10 years. Yet, as Baker states, when have you seen a food label that mentions such particles? Are we to assume the technology hasn’t yet been applied? Is it operating at a stealth level? I’ll try to answer these questions in a minute. But first: US Patent application ‘US20080044481 A1’. “Microparticles for oral delivery.” May 27, 2005. The inventor and assignee is listed as Mordechai Harel, who was associated with Advanced BioNutrition Corporation of Columbia, Maryland. Here are a group of quotes from the patent application. The statements leave no doubt about the wide, wide application of the technology. “The particles described herein can be used to deliver bioactive agents (e.g., nutrients, drugs, vaccines, antibodies, and the like), bacteria (e.g., probiotic bacteria), smaller particles, or substantially any other material to the animal.” “The particles described herein can be prepared and used as free-flowing dry powders, slurries, suspensions, and the like, and are useful for delivering to an animal a drug, a pesticide, a nutrient, a vaccine, a smaller particle, or substantially any other composition that can be contained in the particles. The particles are thus suitable for use in human food products, animal feeds (e.g., pet foods and farmed animal diets), therapeutic compositions (e.g., drugs), prophylactic compositions (e.g., vaccines, antibiotics, and probiotic bacterial preparations), and pest control products among other products.” “A ‘particle’ is a discrete piece of a (homogeneous or heterogeneous) material having a maximum dimension not greater than 5000 micrometers.” “Furthermore, when the microparticles are to be used as components of a food product, it can be desirable that the microparticles are not visible.” “The particles described herein can be used to deliver substantially any chemical species, combination of chemicals, cell, or other piece of matter that can be incorporated into the particle to a component of an animal. All such items are referred to herein as ‘bioactive’ compositions, regardless of what the utility of the composition is. Bioactive compositions include, for example, pharmaceutical compositions or compounds, nutraceutical compositions or compounds, nutritional components, probiotic bacteria, bacteriophages, viruses, flavorants, fragrances, detergents or other surface-active compositions.” “Examples of these [deliverable micro] agents include antibiotics, analgesics, vaccines, anti-inflammatory agents, antidepressants, anti-viral agents, anti-tumor agents, enzyme inhibitors, formulations containing zidovudine, proteins or peptides (such as vaccines, antibodies, antimicrobial peptides), enzymes, (e.g., amylases, proteases, lipases, pectinases, cellulases, hemicellulases, pentosanases, xylanases, and phytases), liposomes, aromatic nitro and nitroso compounds and their metabolites, HIV protease inhibitors, viruses, and steroids, hormones or other growth stimulating agents, pesticides, herbicides, germicides, biocides, algicides, rodenticides, fungicides, insecticides, antioxidants, plant and animal growth promoters, plant and animal growth inhibitors, preservatives, nutraceuticals, disinfectants, sterilization agents, catalysts, chemical reactants, fermentation agents, foods, animal feeds, food or animal feed supplements, nutrients, flavors, colors, dyes, cosmetics, drugs, vitamins, sex sterilants, fertility inhibitors, fertility promoters, air purifiers, microorganism attenuators, nucleic acids (e.g., RNA, DNA, PNA, vectors, plasmids, ribozymes, aptamers, dendrimers, and the like), antioxidants, phytochemicals, hormones, vitamins (such as vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12; C, D, E, and K, pantothenate, and folic acid), pro-vitamins, carotenoids, minerals (such as calcium, selenium, magnesium salts, available iron, and iron salts), microorganisms (such as bacteria, such as probiotics, lactobacilli, fungi, and yeast), prebiotics, trace elements, essential and/or highly unsaturated fatty acids (such as omega-3 fatty acids, and mid-chain triglycerides), nutritional supplements, enzymes (such as amylases, proteases, lipases, pectinases, cellulases, hemicellulases, pentosanases, xylanases, and phytases), pigments, amino acids, agriculturally useful compositions to either prevent infestation (such as herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, mixtures thereof) or to promote growth (such as hormones, fertilizers, or other growth stimulating agents), flavorants, and fragrances.” I’d say that’s a wide range of application, wouldn’t you? Did you notice, among the blizzard of compounds deliverable through invisible microparticles, the drug called zidovudine? That’s AZT, a chemo medicine used to treat AIDS patients. To say AZT is toxic would be a vast understatement. It destroys the ability of cells to replicate. And back in 2005, it was mentioned as a drug that can be delivered in food. So is this technology being applied? Do we, in fact, have these microparticles and their bioactive components in our food? Let’s go back to the 2005 patent application. As I mentioned, the inventor, Mordechai Harel, was associated with a company, Advanced BioNutrition Corporation. On the company’s website, we find a link to a scientific paper co-authored by Roger Drewes, who became the company’s chief science officer in 2010 (“A novel targeted delivery technology for protecting sensitive bioactive compounds…”). This is an interesting paper. Here is some of the language in the paper. Does any of it remind you of quotes from the 2005 patent application? The paper mentions a novel and proprietary “delivery technology,” MicroMax, which “protect[s] sensitive bioactive compounds through food manufacturing processes.” Also mentioned: a “formulation containing natural polymers surrounding the probiotic bacteria or other biologically active materials…” The probiotic bacteria “remain quiescent while retaining their activity for a long period of timeunder challenging…gastric conditions…[MicroMax was tested using] bacteria, essential oils, vitamins, enzymes, pigments, and even vaccines in a variety of food and feed products…and the microparticles were sieved to deliver the desired particle range…” [emphasis added] This might help. Here is the abstract from the 2005 patent application: “The invention provides microbeads containing oil-associated biologically active compounds and methods for their manufacture and use. The microbeads consist of a soluble complex of non-digestible polymer and emulsifier with oil-associated biologically active compounds embedded in a matrix of digestible polymer. The disclosed microbead complex protects the biologically active compounds, such as vitamins, fish oil and carotenoids, from oxidation, taste and odor degradation. The disclosed microbeads also provide protection from the stomach digestive distraction [e.g., gastric activity] and allows for the delivery of the biologically active compounds in the intestine.” [emphasis added] I think we’re looking at the same technology in the 2005 patent application and in Advanced BioNutrition Corp’s MicroMax methods—or two technologies that closely resemble each other—in which case, yes, invisible microparticles in food are much more than a proposed system. This is a working system, available now. It can deliver a stunning array of chemicals and bioactive substances to people in their food. (Note: I have no idea what Advanced BioNutrition Corp is or isn’t delivering to its customers—but I think the company should make these facts known.) Who knows what other companies have, and are using, this technology? Are we looking at zero informed consent to be treated, in food, with medicines and vaccines? Zero knowledge on the part of the public? Zero accountability? Nothing on the food labels? If this is happening to the population now, the word “stealth” only begins to describe it.

Isaac Davis, Staff Every four years, the illusion of democracy and accountable government is reinforced to the public by an expensive media circus and presidential election. Meanwhile, an annual conference of members of the world’s wealthiest and most influential is held in near-secrecy with little attention given to the significance of such a gathering. Why are we encouraged to vote for politicians, but discouraged from considering the sobering factthat the United States and other Western nations are now ruled by a corporate and private oligarchy? An intensive research study by Princeton University in 2014 concluded that the US is indeed more accurately described as a functioning oligarchy, rather than a democracy or a republic. An oligarchy is a small group of people who effectively control a country, a business, or an institution. Rulers may distinguish themselves as royalty, politicians, businessmen, wealthy, highly educated, or as people in positions of military control. The study also found: “When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites and/or with organized interests, they generally lose.” [Source] Attendees and organizers of the Bilderberg conference hold key positions of influence in government, industry, or are of significant social influence. They have the capacity to affect world events in ways that elected officials simply do not. The conference is a chance for them to congregate without the burden of official responsibilities or a permanent record. “Every year, between 120-150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the meeting. The meeting is a forum for informal discussions about megatrends and major issues facing the world. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor of any other participant may be revealed. Thanks to the private nature of the meeting, the participants are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions.” – Bilderberg Bildergberg represents the globalization of empire, a form of international rule where the ideas and goals of a wealthy elite are realized through an organization of business and personal contacts. Coverage of this event is mostly done by independent journalists who face serious harassment and intimidation by law enforcement and private security, which is in stark contrast to the volume and type of media attention given to presidential politics. “What most Americans believe to be ‘Public Opinion’ is in reality carefully crafted and scripted propaganda designed to elicit a desired behavioral response from the public.” And noted Australian academic and activist Alex Carey (1922 – 1988) explained the three most important 20th century developments – “The growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy.” – Canadian writer Ken Adachi The passion that the American people have for self-governance is evident in how seriously people take local and national American politics. It would be impressive to see this same energy directed at the roots of global problems by re-directing accountability onto those who are better deserving of our collective attention. A righteously outraged and unified public is capable of swift and furious social and political change, which is why the elite use propaganda. Some 90% of all media consumed in the world is owned and controlled by just 6 mega-corporations, who, by omission and other tactics, work to manufacture consent while keeping we the people divided in every way possible. What are your thoughts about this? Should a public seeking political change focus itself instead on the organizations and individuals that influence government, rather than argue over candidates?

 Irwin Ozborne, Contributor “The love of possessions is a disease with them [Americans]. They take tithes from the poor and weak to support the rich who rule. They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own and fence their neighbors away. If America had been twice the size it is, there still would not have been enough.” – Sitting Bull Knock. Knock. Knock. Open the door and see the armed Gestapo at your doorstep demanding you turn over the rights of your children and toddlers. They no longer belong to you as mandated by federal law. You see the fear in your toddler’s eyes as you are no longer capable of protecting them and are forced by law to give up your children to the police. They sit them on a bus to be shipped away to a school hundreds of miles away in which they will be trained to forget every value, tradition, and characteristic you have tried to teach. They will be disciplined with abuse, torture, starvation, and rape. If you ever see them again, they will not be the innocent child you once knew. This did not happen in a far away land, this did not happen a long-long time ago. This happened in the “greatest country on Earth” in fairly recent history. This was the policy of the United States government in an effort to assimilate American Indian children in a boarding school system that peaked in the 1970’s. “And Indians should get over this, it happened so long ago,” states an American Indian Education Specialist with a highly sarcastic tone, “And it really wasn’t that long ago and we’re talking about everyone in Indian country is a product or their parent, or grandparent, was a product of boarding schools. Which was institutionalized by the United States Government. And our families were destroyed, our mothers did not have legal rights to their children, at any given time foreigners, strangers, could come in and take your children without any recourse. And this was the policy of the United States Government.” The boarding schools were designed with the slogan, “Kill the Indian, Save the Man” in an attempt to Christianize or Americanize the Indian population. They targeted children as they believed the adults were too set in their ways. In 1879, the schools were brought off the reservations to avoid children from attempting to run away and to ensure that if they went back home they would not return to their traditional lifestyle. Forcibly taken from their homes, forbidden to speak Native languages or practice traditions, the children were overcrowded, starved, and victims of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. The rationale for the cultural genocide was because it was cheaper to “educate” the Indians into mainstream culture than to try to wage war. This is never taught in American school systems. History books are censored from speaking the truth of how this nation was formed on genocide of the American Indians. Now, representing less than one-percent of the population they are the last race that it is socially acceptable to discriminate against. “The racism is rampant but nobody wants to look at it,” stated our interviewee, “I guess because we’re America’s dirty laundry.” Pine Ridge ReservationAlthough not written until 1948, it almost appears as if the United States took the United Nations definition for Genocide and used it as a checklist in their treatment of the indigenous people of the land. It reads: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. While the boarding school system described above was just one piece of the strategy, those who did “survive” were left on reservations in third-world conditions despite being between borders in one of the richest countries on the globe. Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota is the poorest area in the United States with a per capita income of less than $4,000 per year and 97-percent of residents living below the Federal poverty lines. The dilapidated houses are overcrowded as they try to take in family members and friends without a roof over the head. The average home will host 17 people (two to three bedrooms); whereas some homes that are built for six to eight people have 30 people living in them currently. More than a third of these homes have no water, sewage, insulation, heating or electricity. Families have to carry contaminated water to the home for personal use. More than 60-percent of these homes are infested with the Stachbotrys (a potentially fatal black mold). With no technology, industrial, or commercial infrastructure on the reservation more than 85-percent of the residents are unemployed. The high school dropout rate is more than 70-percent with the teacher turnover at 800-percent higher than the national average. On Pine Ridge Reservation, the life expectancy is around 45 years – which is the second lowest in the Western Hemisphere (behind only Haiti). This has to do with alcoholism, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, suicide, and malnutrition. Some of the healthcare facts include: Alcoholism rates are estimated at 80-percrent Alcohol related deaths are 300-percrent higher than the national average Nearly 95-percent of all crimes are alcohol related One in four infants are born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome The rate of diabetes is eight times the national average Estimated 50-percent of adults over 40 have diabetes 37-percent of the entire reservation has diabetes The rate of Tuberculosis is eight times the national average The suicide rates is more than twice the national average Teenage suicide rates is four times the national average Infant mortality is the highest on the continent and about three times the national average The rate of Cervical Cancer is five times the national average The rate of Heart Disease is twice the national average This is due to many of the residents being without adequate healthcare. In most treaties between Indian nations and the United States, the government agreed to provide medical care for Indians in return for vast quantities of land. The Indian Health Services was established in 1787, based on Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution. However, what is administered is very small compared to the need and the IHS is understaffed and ill-equipped to handle the crisis in these Indian communities. “The administration is responsible for providing and delivering health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives across the country. Their federal obligation mandates that they promote health and safe Indian communities while honoring tribal governance. This is not happening,” said Wyoming Republican Senator John Barrasso, who chairs the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs – in a February 2016 article with NBC News. “You may have heard the phrase ‘Do not get sick after June,’ because if you do, you will not be able to get care. This, to me, is a rationing of health care — care that is guaranteed by treaty. If we start funding IHS at levels commensurate with need, I believe we will solve a lot of the issues revealed in the 2010 report and the ones occurring elsewhere in this country,” said former Senator Byron Dorgan, chairman of The Center for Native American Youth at The Aspen Institute – in the same NBC News article. Broken TreatiesNot living up to the agreements of the IHS is pretty standard for the course in United States policy. In all, 370 treaties were signed between the United States Government and Indian Nations. And all 370 were broken by the United States. “Yeah, none of them have been lived up to. But everybody is living on our land and nobody knows that,” continued the American Indian Education specialist, “Part of that is the socialization so whenever you up treaty rights, the reason there is so much backlash in this country like, ‘Why do those Indians have special rights? Why do they have stuff we don’t have?’ It’s because nobody is teaching these kids what a god damn treaty is! A treaty is an agreement between nations. Some nations choose to live up to them, some nations violate them.” They are still doing it today with the controversy of the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline which would cut through the heart of tribal lands. “But when we DO end up winning in the court of the conqueror – mind you the enemies court – when we do end up having small gains, and I’ll say for every twenty cases we maybe have one that goes our way. Every time that happens, when we win, ‘why do these Indians get these special rights?”’ he continued, “Because these folks do not understand what a damn treaty is. Nobody in St. Paul knows what treaty their land is on. It’s the treaty of 1805. First treaty ever signed with the nation of Sioux Indians was the treaty of 1805. So, nobody in the Twin Cities is learning that they are living on Treaty of 1805. Nobody knows that, and because they don’t know that, when a treaty case comes Indian people are met with bigotry and hate. ‘Why do you all get to do this? Why do we get to do that?’ Well, it’s not our fault that America didn’t educate their children about article six of the constitution is that treaties are the law of the land.” The 1851 Fort Laramie Treaty clearly defined boundaries owned by the Lakota people which covered a large part of the upper Midwest between Minnesota and Montana. However, it was the Great Emancipator, President Abraham Lincoln, who allowed white settlers onto this land by signing the Homestead Act in 1862. Treaty rights were violated and the Indian people were forced to move once again to the most inhospitable lands. In retaliation, some Sioux attacked white settlers which is referred to as the “Sioux Uprising.” Uprising is defined as an act of resistance, rebellion, or revolt. They were not resisting, they were retaliating. But the terminology is done intentionally to spread propaganda of the Sioux that are rebelling, although it was Lincoln who violated the treaty. This led to the largest mass execution in United States History when President Lincoln ordered to hang 38 Santee Sioux in Mankato, Minnesota – a week later he signed the Emancipation Proclamation. “Minnesota has a shitty-ugly history, but we can’t talk about it because in Minnesota everything nice happened,” our interviewee continues, “Even if you deal with Minnesota Historical Society, they don’t even want to tell the god damn truth. They call it ‘controversial history.’ Any history that is uncomfortable is controversial. Anytime Minnesota gets a little bit of mud on its face, that’s called controversial history and they won’t tell that story. But the problem with that is that pathology of denial that this state has means that it can happen again. To somebody else. Who’s next?” The Second Fort Laramie Treaty was signed in 1868 which designated the sovereignty of the Lakota people and prohibited outside settlers to ever occupy their lands. All this changed, though, in 1874 when gold was found in the Black Hills and in other areas held sovereign by the Lakota and non-Indian miners swarmed the Black Hills. Consequently, the federal government reneged on the Fort Laramie Treaties and took total control of the Black Hills again, only a decade after signing the second treaty. This led to more wars, breaking up of the reservations, and once again tribes being forced off any land that the United States found valuable. Then in this same area, the Black Hills, in which the Lakota people found sacred which was stolen from them after a broken treaty, the Federal Government added a slap in the face by imprinting a message on their land with Mount Rushmore. A memorial of United States Presidents serves as a constant reminder of the people who stole their land and killed their people. Understanding the Reservation SystemThe reservation system in America is widely misunderstood and completely fabricated in the educational system. Originally, the settlers agreed to give the Indians all land West of the Appalachian Mountains. But after the American Revolution, the whites continued to break treaties and push the Indians off their land. In 1830, President Andrew Jackson – nicknamed “Indian Killer” – signed the Indian Removal Act which was designed to forcibly remove Indians and march them to the newly designed “Indian Country” in Oklahoma. This was somewhat documented in the notorious “Trail of Tears” in which Indians marched for hundreds of miles at gunpoint. If they could not continue to walk, they were left for dead. If anyone refused, they were brutally murdered in front of the group. Pregnant woman had their stomachs sliced open or they would drown infants or club toddlers against trees in a means of intimidation of anyone who would not comply. Again, policy of the United States. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the Indian Reservation System emerged. The government would move tribes onto specifically reserved land for the tribes. “Reservations are not land that they gave us, by the way.” Our interviewee pointed out, “Reservations mean they were reserved. A lot of folks say, ‘well we gave you some land.’ No, bullshit we were here first. You are the invader! You may have taken a lot of things but reservation, in the English language if you look it up, it means “reserved”. So that’s land the nations reserved for themselves. And it has been whittled down through lies, policy, and deceit all at the hands of the United States Government and companies that wanted to make money. Timber companies, mining companies, etc., etc, Ranchers, but those are reserved. Those weren’t given to us, we reserved those. That’s another common mythology in America.” This all served as a precursor to the Holocaust of World War II. Many parallels exist between the mistreatment of American Indians and the Nazi treatment of the Jewish people. This include death marches, concentration camps, mass graves, destroying old cultures, blaming one group of people for the problems, etc. In fact, in a couple biographies of Adolf Hitler, he credits the United States for his ideas of genocide. On page 202 of John Toland’s book titled Adolf Hitler: Hitler’s concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America’s extermination—by starvation and uneven combat—of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity. He was very interested in the way the Indian population had rapidly declined due to epidemics and starvation when the United States government forced them to live on the reservations. He thought the American government’s forced migrations of the Indians over great distances to barren reservation land was a deliberate policy of extermination. Just how much Hitler took from the American example of the destruction of the Indian nations is hard to say; however, frightening parallels can be drawn. For some time Hitler considered deporting the Jews to a large ‘reservation’ in the Lubin area where their numbers would be reduced through starvation and disease. Whiteclay, NebraskaPine Ridge Reservation is a dry reservation, meaning it is illegal to possess or consume alcohol. However, across the border in Nebraska, there lies a town with a population of 12 people. Yet, within that town of 12, there are four liquor stores. These stores sell millions of cans of beer per year and profit millions of dollars – mostly to the Oglala Sioux. Unlike other Nebraska communities, Whiteclay exists only to sell liquor and make money. It has no schools, no churches, no civic organizations, no parks, no benches, no public bathrooms, no fire service and no law enforcement. Tribal officials have repeatedly pleaded with the State of Nebraska to close these liquor stores or enforce the State laws regulating liquor stores but have been consistently refused. Coincidentally, the town of Whiteclay is located in Sheridan County. A county named after a war criminal in Philip Sheridan who slaughtered men, women, and children like game. Sheridan was once quoted stating “The only good Indian is a dead Indian.” So the county is living up to the man it is named after by continuing to knowingly sell an illegal drug to people which is causing the majority of problems on their land. The state of Nebraska has refused to close these liquor stores and has no problem with the destruction done to their neighbors. However, the state of Nebraska does not like when bordering states allow people to purchase, possess, and transport illegal drugs into their state. Once Colorado legalized recreational marijuana, there was in influx in people possessing marijuana – illegal in Nebraska. They have went as far as attempting to sue the states of Colorado because of the increased traffic, possession, and use of marijuana. America’s Dirty LaundryMost of mainstream America is unaware of this history and current state with the Indian people in this country. Or they do know, but they just sweep it under the rug and try not to think about it. People are living in third-world conditions because of broken promises and lack of follow through. Yet, when other countries break treaties, we become the world police. I believe in the power of the people. Once they know what is going on in the world, they stand up for justice. This is what ended the Vietnam War. Last week, social media exploded over the death of a gorilla. Imagine the good we could do and the justice that is deserved for the people that we have killed, destroyed, lied to, put into poverty, and lacking resources that they were promised. We are talking about generational trauma. Trauma that has been handed down from generation-to-generation at the hands of our ancestors and the policies of the United States Government. Recovery has to start somewhere and the first step is for mainstream America to realize the problem they created.

 Jon Rappoport, Guest Every time I re-publish this piece, I find another angle to emphasize. This time, it’s reductionism, the strategy of making the truth, whatever it is, into something overly simple and, therefore, deceptive and false. Approaching the subject of human suffering and anguish, from an honest viewpoint, gives you all sorts of experience to explore: people are abused, they are minimized, they have severe nutritional deficits, they live in poverty, they are surrounded by the threat of violence, they receive poor and confusing educations, they are exposed to toxic chemicals and drugs, they develop weak immune systems, they don’t know how to cope with peer pressure to conform, they never learn what freedom means, and so forth and so on. And then…all this is reformulated and boiled down to a series of so-called mental disorders with names and labels. Symbols. Reductionism. Such symbols can snare many people and drag them into slave-camps of the mind. If you want people to become far more ignorant than they already are, you need look no further than the field of psychiatry, which is rife with symbols, which are the names of so-called mental disorders. There are about 300 in the official psychiatric bible. They appear to designate actual mental states, but upon close inspection, they’re empty of scientific meaning. Pretending to represent erudite research, they impart gibberish. An acceptance of these mental-disorder symbols automatically short-circuits any investigation of the mind’s true potential or power. False map, no authentic territory, no treasure. As a psychiatrist who left his profession in disgust once wrote me, “I was playing a shell game with my patients. I could label a person with one disorder, prescribe a drug, eventually diagnose a new disorder, combine drugs, adjust the dosages, and go on this way for many appointments. But all the labels were shams…” They’re symbols. They appear to stand for something solid, but they don’t. As I’ve shown in several articles, all so-called mental disorders are based on no definitive diagnostic tests. No saliva, no blood, no genes, no brain scans, for any of the 300 labels. So what we have in psychiatry is a secular organized religion, a Tower of Babble outfitted with thousands of entirely fictional symbols. Which the priests know how to use. They have that training. People in the general population are asking for shorthand explanations, and the professional symbol-talkers fulfill that need. That’s the exchange. That’s the transaction. The psychiatrist announces a symbol, which is the label for a disorder, the patient asks what it means, and the doctor explains. Without the symbol, however, nothing happens. Nothing is consummated. Give a human a symbol and he’s all ears. He wants to know. He must know. A symbol functions like a scent to a dog. He has to track it down. If psychiatrists could make it work, they’d wear purple robes embroidered with esoteric shapes and signs and a tall hat topped by a star. They’d gaze into a pond and stir the water with a stick and produce Insight. They’d channel an entity from Ursa Minor in a dark room with organ music. Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays, the father of modern public relations, used his skills to promote his uncle’s work. Surely, Bernays saw, in Freud, a brilliant salesman, who had invented a whole new library of symbols that could be dumped on the masses, and then translated for public consumption. A new church of the mind would be born. The first question to ask is: do these mental disorders have any scientific basis? There are now roughly 300 of them. An open secret has been bleeding out into public consciousness for the past ten years. THERE ARE NO DEFINITIVE LABORATORY TESTS FOR ANY SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDER. And along with that: ALL SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDERS ARE CONCOCTED, NAMED, LABELED, DESCRIBED, AND CATEGORIZED by a committee of psychiatrists, from menus of human behaviors. Their findings are published in periodically updated editions of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), printed by the American Psychiatric Association. For years, even psychiatrists have been blowing the whistle on this hazy crazy process of “research.” Of course, pharmaceutical companies, who manufacture highly toxic drugs to treat every one of these “disorders,” are leading the charge to invent more and more mental-health categories, so they can sell more drugs and make more money. In a PBS Frontline episode, Does ADHD Exist?, Dr. Russell Barkley, then an eminent professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, unintentionally spelled out the fraud. PBS FRONTLINE INTERVIEWER: Skeptics say that there’s no biological marker—that it [ADHD] is the one condition out there where there is no blood test, and that no one knows what causes it. BARKLEY: That’s tremendously naïve, and it shows a great deal of illiteracy about science and about the mental health professions. A disorder doesn’t have to have a blood test to be valid. If that were the case, all mental disorders would be invalid… There is no lab test for any mental disorder right now in our science. That doesn’t make them invalid.[Emphasis added] Oh, indeed, that does make them invalid. Utterly and completely. All 297 mental disorders. They’re all hoaxes. Because there are no defining tests of any kind to back up the diagnosis. You can sway and tap dance and bloviate all you like and you won’t escape. You are looking at a science that isn’t a science. That’s called fraud. Rank fraud. There’s more. Under the radar, one of the great psychiatric stars, who has been out in front inventing mental disorders, went public. He blew the whistle on himself and his colleagues. And for years, almost no one noticed. His name is Dr. Allen Frances, and he made VERY interesting statements to Gary Greenberg, author of a Wired article: “Inside the Battle to Define Mental Illness.” (Dec 27, 2010). Major media never picked up on the interview in any serious way. It never became a scandal. Dr. Allen Frances is the man who, in 1994, headed up the project to write the latest edition of the psychiatric bible, the DSM-IV. This tome defines and labels and describes every official mental disorder. The DSM-IV eventually listed 297 of them. In an April 19, 1994, New York Times piece, “Scientist At Work,” Daniel Goleman called Frances “Perhaps the most powerful psychiatrist in America at the moment…” Well, sure. If you’re sculpting the entire canon of diagnosable mental disorders for your colleagues, for insurers, for the government, for Pharma (who will sell the drugs matched up to the 297 DSM-IV diagnoses), you’re right up there in the pantheon. Long after the DSM-IV had been put into print, Dr. Frances talked to Wired’s Greenberg and said the following: “There is no definition of a mental disorder. It’s bullshit. I mean, you just can’t define it.” BANG. That’s on the order of the designer of the Hindenburg, looking at the burned rubble on the ground, remarking, “Well, I knew there would be a problem.” After a suitable pause, Dr. Frances remarked to Greenberg, “These concepts [of distinct mental disorders] are virtually impossible to define precisely with bright lines at the borders.” Frances might have been obliquely referring to the fact that his baby, the DSM-IV, had rearranged earlier definitions of ADHD and Bipolar to permit many MORE diagnoses, leading to a vast acceleration of drug-dosing with highly powerful and toxic compounds. If this is medical science, a duck is a rocket ship. To repeat, Dr. Frances’ work on the DSM IV allowed for MORE toxic drugs to be prescribed, because the definitions of Bipolar and ADHD were expanded to include more people. Adverse effects of Valproate (given for a Bipolar diagnosis) include: * acute, life-threatening, and even fatal liver toxicity; * life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas; * brain damage. Adverse effects of Lithium (also given for a Bipolar diagnosis) include: * intercranial pressure leading to blindness; * peripheral circulatory collapse; * stupor and coma. Adverse effects of Risperdal (given for “Bipolar” and “irritability stemming from autism”) include: * serious impairment of cognitive function; * fainting; * restless muscles in neck or face, tremors (may be indicative of motor brain damage). Dr. Frances self-admitted label-juggling act also permitted the definition of ADHD to expand, thereby opening the door for greater and greater use of Ritalin (and other similar compounds) as the treatment of choice. So… what about Ritalin? In 1986, The International Journal of the Addictions published a most important literature review by Richard Scarnati. It was called “An Outline of Hazardous Side Effects of Ritalin (Methylphenidate)”[v.21(7), pp. 837-841]. Scarnati listed a large number of adverse effects of Ritalin and cited published journal articles which reported each of these symptoms. For every one of the following (selected and quoted verbatim) Ritalin effects, there is at least one confirming source in the medical literature: * Paranoid delusions * Paranoid psychosis * Hypomanic and manic symptoms, amphetamine-like psychosis * Activation of psychotic symptoms * Toxic psychosis * Visual hallucinations * Auditory hallucinations * Can surpass LSD in producing bizarre experiences * Effects pathological thought processes * Extreme withdrawal * Terrified affect * Started screaming * Aggressiveness * Insomnia * Since Ritalin is considered an amphetamine-type drug, expect amphetamine-like effects * Psychic dependence * High-abuse potential DEA Schedule II Drug * Decreased REM sleep * When used with antidepressants one may see dangerous reactions including hypertension, seizures and hypothermia * Convulsions * Brain damage may be seen with amphetamine abuse. In the US alone, there are at least 300,000 cases of motor brain damage incurred by people who have been prescribed so-called anti-psychotic drugs (aka “major tranquilizers”). Risperdal (mentioned above as a drug given to people diagnosed with Bipolar) is one of those major tranquilizers. (source: Toxic Psychiatry, Dr. Peter Breggin, St. Martin’s Press, 1991) This psychiatric drug plague is accelerating across the land. Where are the mainstream reporters and editors and newspapers and TV anchors who should be breaking this story and mercilessly hammering on it week after week? They are in harness. Thank you, Dr. Frances. But, backed by the federal government and Pharma, psychiatry flourishes. It appears to define mental states that actually exist, but don’t. That’s quite a trick. But what about the great overarching statement that all mental disorders are the result of chemical imbalances in the brain? Dr. Ronald Pies, the editor-in-chief emeritus of the Psychiatric Times, laid the theory to rest in the July 11, 2011, issue of the Times with this staggering admission: “In truth, the ‘chemical imbalance’ notion was always a kind of urban legend — never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed psychiatrists.” Boom. Dead. The point is, for decades the whole basis of psychiatric drug research, drug prescription, and drug sales has been: “we’re correcting a chemical imbalance in the brain.” The problem was, researchers had never established a normal baseline for chemical balance. So they were shooting in the dark. Worse, they were faking a theory. Pretending they knew something when they didn’t. In his 2011 piece in Psychiatric Times, Dr. Pies tries to cover his colleagues in the psychiatric profession with this fatuous remark: “In the past 30 years, I don’t believe I have ever heard a knowledgeable, well-trained psychiatrist make such a preposterous claim [about chemical imbalance in the brain], except perhaps to mock it…the ‘chemical imbalance’ image has been vigorously promoted by some pharmaceutical companies, often to the detriment of our patients’ understanding.” Absurd. First of all, many psychiatrists have explained and do explain to their patients that the drugs are there to correct a chemical imbalance. And second, if all well-trained psychiatrists have known, all along, that the chemical-imbalance theory is a fraud… …then why on earth have they been prescribing tons of drugs to their patients… …since those drugs are developed on the false premise that they correct an chemical imbalance? The chemical imbalance theory is a fake. There are no defining physical tests for any of the 300 so-called mental disorders. ll diagnoses are based on arbitrary clusters or menus of human behavior. The drugs are harmful, dangerous, toxic. Some of them induce violence. Suicide, homicide. Some of the drugs cause brain damage. Psychiatry is a pseudo-science. So the shrinks have to move into another model, another con, another fraud. And they’re looking for one. For example, genes plus “psycho-social factors.” A mish-mash of more unproven science. “New breakthrough research on the functioning of the brain is paying dividends and holds great promise…” Professional gibberish. Meanwhile, the business model demands drugs for sale. So even though the chemical-imbalance nonsense has been discredited, it will continue on as a dead man walking, a zombie. Big Pharma isn’t going to back off. Trillions of dollars are at stake. Also at stake is the control of populations, through diagnosing and drugging. And so is the op to dispense, from on high, a pseudo-philosophy of mind replete with all its symbols, in order to paint a false picture of what is going on inside the mind. The objective is to put an overwhelming percentage of the population into the category of “mental disorder.” And to conceal the real reasons for human suffering and anguish.

 Makia Freeman, Contributor The existence of a mind-virus that plagues all of humanity – every man, woman and child – at first may seem like a far out concept, but it’s an idea that has been around a long time in a lot of different cultures. Religion has grappled with the problem of evil for aeons. Deep down the rabbit hole of conspiracy research you will eventually get to the same theme – that there is some dark force coordinating the many nefarious schemes and agendas we witness daily in our world. Although there are definitely outside beings and forces coordinating these agendas, including the hybrid royal bloodlines, negative ETs such as Greys and Reptilians, discarnate entities such as Djinn or Archons and some kind of self-aware AI, we ultimately have to ask ourselves: is this evil actually a real force outside of ourselves, or is it rather the collective unconsciousness of humanity that appears as its own force and entity but is not? Are we infected with an actual mind virus installation, as the shaman warrior Don Juan of the Castaneda books suggested? Or are we facing the collective shadow, the disowned, unloved and unacknowledged parts of ourselves, which have been shoved down and repressed so much that they have become twisted and emerged as a monster appearing as its own lifeform? Paul Levy on Wetiko, the Mind Virus of HumanityIt’s a big question, and the answer is not necessarily one or the other. I was recently impressed when watching the book release presentation of Paul Levy, who authored Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil. Paul shows a deep understanding of the mind virus theme, and explores it by talking about wetiko. Wetiko is a native American Indian term describing evil spirits. According to Paul, wetiko is a mind virus, but unlike other viruses, it won’t mutate itself. It forces us to mutate by tricking us into identifying with it. Like any virus, it needs a host to survive. As Paul writes in his article The Greatest Epidemic Sickness Known to Humanity: “Wetiko is a virulent, psychic pathogen that insinuates thought-forms into our mind which, when unconsciously en-acted, feed it, and ultimately kills its host (us). It doesn’t want to kill us too quickly however, for to successfully implement its agenda of reproducing and propagating itself throughout the field, it must let the host live long enough to spread the virus. If the host dies too soon, the bug would be prematurely evicted and would suffer the inconvenience of having to find a new residence.” This, of course, is virtually identical to what Don Juan had to say about the Mud Shadow Flyers (Archons): “Indeed we are held prisoner! This was an energetic fact for the sorcerers of ancient Mexico … We have a companion for life … We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master.” “The predators give us their mind, which becomes our mind … It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don’t do so.” What follows are some direct quotes and approximate paraphrasings from Paul’s presentation, along with my commentary beneath the quotes. What is the Origin of Wetiko?“The origin of wetiko is the psyche, the collective unconsciousness.” “[Wetiko] synchronistically explicates itself through the medium of the outside world … it’s as if this virus that’s in the collective unconscious somehow extends itself and actually configures outer events so as to … express something that’s happening inside of us.” “It works through the unconscious, the blind spot, the shadow. It acts itself out in life, yet hides itself in the process.” This is a brilliant way of encapsulating the essence of the mind virus. It is a master of distraction, making us look outside of ourselves and find issues and problems there, rather than looking within. We find people or groups outside of ourselves that match our projections of evil or darkness, then falsely believe the darkness is (only) outside of ourselves. This becomes a self-perpetuating feedback loop where we become unwitting propagators of wetiko. These ideas are exactly in line with what famous psychologist Carl Jung said about the shadow. Jung said that, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” The qualities and aspects that we don’t like, acknowledge or love in ourselves are the ones we judge, criticize and attack in others. Yet, on an ultimate level, your world is a reflection of your inner state. Does Wetiko Actually Exist?“Wetiko doesn’t ultimately exist. It has no intrinsic objective existence, yet it can destroy our species. Wetiko is a blindness that believes it is sighted, and arrogantly believes it is more sighted than anyone else (in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king).” Paul believes that wetiko has no fundamental ontological existence of its own. Yet, if this true, we have to be careful not to be lulled into a false sense of security about the mind virus. Just because it may not independently exist does not mean it is not powerful. Some people get so overtaken by the shadow – falling into depression, addiction, compulsiveness and schizophrenia – that they are driven to suicide. This mind virus is undoubtedly strong enough to drive some people to kill themselves just in the hope of becoming free of it. Interestingly, this concept of “the one-eyed man being king in the land of the blind” has also been cropping up lately in the work of David Icke. David uses the metaphor in his latest book The Phantom Self to describe the mind virus as a type of AI computer virus which has hacked life itself. He also labels it blind, saying that the only way it can gain the upper hand over us is to bring us down to below its level, since if we both operated at maximum capacity, the virus would be no match for us. Paul also describes the wetiko mind virus as a vampire, which is another symbolic entity, not a real thing: “A vampire is not a human figure, but rather, is a soulless creature, a being who has lost its soul … One of the undead, a vampire is death taking living, human form. The wetiko virus is ultimately not a living life-form, but rather, a living form of death. Wetiko, like a virus, is “dead” matter; it is only in a living creature that viruses acquire a “quasi-life.” Members of the living dead, vampires are neither truly alive, nor truly dead. Like a full-fledged vampire, “full-blown” wetikos have forfeited their humanity, becoming a conduit for the impersonal, transpersonal and depersonalizing wetiko virus to incarnate through them.” It is written that a vampire cannot see its reflection in the mirror (more symbolism). That is because it is not solid or “real”; it has no soul, life force or consciousness which animates it; it is a virus, parasite or shadow which owes its existence or sustenance to another life force off which it feeds. Wetiko Making Us Look Outside: A Trick or a Gift?“Is wetiko destroying us or waking us up? It depends on how we dream it. It’s a dreamed up virus.” “If we don’t recognize what it is showing us, the gift it is giving to us, then it will kill us. It’s like a lethal mirage. But once we recognize it, and identify it and its tricks, then it will dissolve into the nothingness from which it arose.” Left unchecked, the mind virus runs rampant, and can destroy your life and bring you untold suffering and misery. However, if the mind virus has no will or existence of its own, then it is really YOUR life force, trapped and distorted, which is wreaking the havoc. Paul suggests that whether we look at wetiko as a cunning enemy out to destroy us, or a cheeky challenger out to prod and poke us into a fuller awareness, is a matter of perspective. Obviously, it is more empowering to view the created situations and outcomes of the mind virus as gifts rather than as curses or burdens, because the former view may spur us on to become better people, while the latter may lead us to anger and hate. We do, at least, have that much choice, but unless we are already a fully awakened or enlightened individual, we do not yet have the choice of whether to invite wetiko into our lives or not. It’s already here, and it’s not going away, unless every last speck of shadow is fully acknowledged. How Do We Defeat Wetiko?“The only way to defeat wetiko is to find the place inside of yourself which is invulnerable to wetiko. If you fight it, you become it.” “How do you deal with a demon? Find its name. Once you name it, it loses its power.” “Imagine waking in the dream and putting together your dreaming power with other awakened individuals.” The way to defeating wetiko lies in the realization that it only has power when it is hidden. The mind virus hides by tricking us into judging and labeling, and by identifying with form/matter not the more real energy/consciousness. The solidity of the world is illusory and is just a product of our consciousness. We become attached to our identity, but in an ever-changing world where things never remain the same, this is a recipe for suffering. We get tricked into thinking we have to defend some mental position or some idea of ourselves, when in the end it’s just a waste of our energy. We get fooled into thinking that we have to fight something to change it, when the very act of fighting creates a resonance field with that which is being fought, and by doing so we strengthen it and become it. When Paul talks about “finding the place of invulnerability within” and“naming the demon”, he is not saying anything that great spiritual teachers and prophets have not already said. Many of them have stressed the importance of meditation, inner silence, of becoming the watcher or observer and distancing yourself from that insane voice in your head. To name the demon is to be the watcher. To be find a place of invulnerability is to remember Who You Are – an individuated but powerful part of All That Is. Overcoming the shadow is all about integration, not destruction. You can’t destroy the “dark side” – it will be always be there as part of the whole in contrast to love, so that we can know what love truly is. The spiritual path is about healing whatever split we hold within by integrating the disassociated parts of ourselves into a fully aware whole. Conclusion: Learn to Spot the Wetiko Mind Virus Within YourselfAs Eckhart Tolle writes in his book The Power of Now, it is better to refer to the darkness as unconsciousness rather than evil, because “evil” as a description connotes more separation rather than inclusion, and therefore decreases the likelihood of integration. The ultimate solution to the problem of wetiko is to see it in yourself. It will always be easier to see it in others, but as long as we remain focused on changing others, we neglect the crucial shadow work we must do ourselves. Only you can integrate your own shadow. Sorry to break the news to all you billionaires out there, but shadow work cannot be outsourced. No one else can do it for you, no matter how rich, persuasive, entrepreneurial, charming, sexy, beautiful or intelligent you are. In this respect, we are all equal. Death and the wetiko mind virus level the human playing field, beyond all categorizations and classes. Both are an inevitable part of life, and both must be faced without fear if we are to move into our true power and full awareness.

**Sources embedded throughout article.  Pao L. Chang, Contributor “Without knowing the force of words, it is impossible to know more.” – Confucius We hear and speak words everyday for the reason that we heavily rely on them to communicate. Because of this, words play a very important role for shaping our beliefs and perception of reality. It is estimated that the average person speaks more than 7,000 words per day. Even though we hear and speak words everyday, most of us have no clue as to how powerful words are. What most people do not know about words is that they have magic properties and are very effective for deceiving the mind. However, words can also be used to empower the mind. In this article, I will show you how words are used to trick you to give up your natural rights and spiritual powers to the state. Every time you give up your spiritual powers and natural rights to a government agency, you are committing sin against the Prime Creator. The process of using words to trick you to commit sin is what I like to refer to as word magic. Be aware that word magic can be used for good or evil purposes. If you are new to word magic, I recommend reading my empowering article titled Magic and the Power of Words. My article shows you evidence of why words have magic power. One of the first things the state does to trick you to give up your natural rights, so they can make you play their vampiric game called the debt-based commerce system is by convincing you to sign commercial contracts with their government. Your first commercial contract with the state is the birth certificate. I am not going to go into details about the birth certificate, because this article is about educating you to become aware of the magic power of words and why words rule the world. If you want to learn more about the birth certificate, watch the short and informative video below. The Magic Power of WordsBefore we explore the magic power of words, I need to explain to you what magic is so you can see the relation between magic and the power of words. The term magic is derived from Old French magique, Latin magicus, and Greek magikos. One of the earliest definitions of magic is the “art of influencing events and producing marvels using hidden natural forces”. The Universe has many natural forces. Some of these forces are the “engines” that control the behavior of sound, light, vibration, and frequency. When you learn to use these forces to control energy, you can control how energy manifest itself into physical things to a significant degree. This is the art of magic or magick. One way to tap into the magic power of words is to use the force of thought along with sound and sacred geometry. Sound plays a really important role for directing energy to create sacred geometries. These sacred geometric patterns are some of the building blocks of matter, which is why they can be found near the core of all material objects, even down to the level of atoms. The evidence proving that sound has the power to create sacred geometry can be seen in cymatics. A written word without sound is not that powerful. However, when you add sound to it using your voice, the word vibrates with more energy and therefore becomes “alive”, allowing it to do magical things. Because a spoken word has sound and sound can create sacred geometry, the right combination of spoken words can cast magic spells and control the flow of energy. Combine spoken words with the power of thought and emotion and certain natural elements (e.g., fire and water) and you have a very powerful tool to use for creating magic. Why Words Rule the WorldThe system that deals with law and justice and keeps society in order is the court system. When you go to court, you are not really going to court but are going to a game arena to battle other people with words. The person who knows how to use words wisely and effectively will usually win. When you arm yourself with the right words and effectively use your mind and heart to unleash the power of words, you can win nearly every court case. This is why words rule the world. The court system like to use words to trick you to consent to be a legal person, also known as a corporation or legal fiction. Because of this, you need to know how word magic is used in court. The content in italics below shows you how courts use word magic to deceive you, so that they can claim jurisdiction over your body, mind, and soul. The following content is a section from my book titled Word Magic: The Powers & Occult Definitions of Words. The legal system operates in a jurisdiction that deals with fictional things. This is why the “laws” of the legal system are called acts and statutes, just like the acts and statues in a play. Because of this, nearly everything it does is unlawful. After reading this book, you will know why the legal system is a big fat fraud! Under admiralty law, if you are missing for 7 years, you can be declared legally dead. This is why people lost at sea are declared legally dead after 7 years. In the USA, our political and court system are operating under admiralty and maritime law. Both of these laws deal with commerce on the sea. To connect the dots, when the government announces you as being legally dead, what they are really saying is that you are dead at sea. They say this because you are mostly made of water and you were born from a sack of water (the amniotic sac). Because you are legally dead and the government owns your legal name, the government can legally claim your estate. This process is similar to when people die and their estates are transferred to the people listed on their wills. This is why the government can legally seize your properties and children when you violate their acts and statutes. However, if you rebut their presumption and let them know that you are not dead, it makes it much harder for the government to confiscate your properties. When you send a letter to the government to let them know that you are not dead at sea but is alive and well, you are correcting your status and removing yourself from their jurisdiction, which is an imaginary territory that operates in a dead fictional world. After you correct your status, the government now has to treat you as a living natural person instead of a dead person/legal person. A dead person, also known as a legal person or legal fiction, has no natural rights, only privileges. An example of a legal person/legal fiction is a United States Citizen. Because United States Citizens are legal persons with only privileges, according to the legal system, they have no natural rights. This is why when you go to court and shout out to the judge about your natural rights or constitutional rights, the judge will look at you like you are a fool and may tell you to sit down and shut up! Because the legal person (e.g., United States Citizen, legal name, and corporation) is a dead thing, the government has jurisdiction over it. On the other hand, the natural person is a living, breathing person, and therefore has natural rights, which are unalienable rights given to the natural person by the Prime Creator. The word unalienable means “incapable of being aliened, that is, sold and transferred”. In other words, your natural rights are superior to all “laws” made by the government and can not be sold, and therefore the government does not have jurisdiction over you, the natural person. The people who control the legal system are master magicians, and therefore are well aware of the power of words. Unfortunately, they like to train their judges and attorneys to use the power of words to enslave your mind, body, and soul. The good news is that if you learn how to use words wisely, you can put their judges and attorneys in checkmate. The following video shows you how the right words can free you from the jurisdiction of the court. Did You Know Judges are Low-Level Magicians?When you walk into a courtroom, you are actually walking into a game arena to play legal and magic games. This is why the judge is sometimes called the magistrate and the letter that the court used to notify you to appear in court is called a summons. What do witches do when they want to call spirits to appear in front of them? They summon them using the power of words! They did not call it a summons letter by accident. In legal terms, the word magistrate is defined as “any individual who has the power of a public civil officer or inferior judicial officer, such as a Justice of the Peace”. Magistrate can also be defined as “a civil officer charged with the administration of the law”. To find the occult definition of the word magistrate, you need to split it into two words (magi-strate). The word you need to pay attention to ismagi. One of the origins of the word magi is the Latin word magi (plural of magus), meaning “magician, learned magician”. Hence, the words magistrate, magician, magic, and magistery. Judges are trained by the legal system to cast magic spells on you when you are in a courtroom. However, many judges may not be aware that they are casting magic spells. The hidden agenda of their magic spells is to trick you to give up your spiritual powers and natural rights. The good news is that when you learn how to rebut their claims using the right words, you can nullify their claims and put them in checkmate. Do you comprehend now why words rule the world?

 Humanity has come to significant point in its history. We are on the precipice of a serious economic disaster, a system-blowing transformation, or both. Even if a fiat-debt implosion occurred of an unprecedented magnitude, we do have the solutions and capacity to respond in a way that will minimize the impacts and transform our reality into something better. It will take some serious people power though, so, will we choose to act before this happens, or will we wait until the masses are subject to further suffering? Not that this isn’t happening already. The middle class is eroding, millions can’t afford to feed themselves, many people are underemployed or working multiple part-time jobs and barely scraping through, and those subject to poverty, homelessness and other disadvantage is increasing. Social unrest is manifesting as a result. More and more people are being inflicted with this pain which has propelled the wave of support for the far left US representative, Sanders, and the far right representative, Trump. On the other hand, Clinton is obviously a face of the status quo and that is clear as day for anyone who has any idea about how the corporate oligarchy works. Yet the divide between the supporters of Trump and Sanders is frighteningly counter-productive; if they actually united and together stood against the crony capitalists, socialism for the rich policies, banksterism, the corporatocracy and a corrupted money supply, then instead of fruitlessly and senselessly fighting each other, the US and the world over would actually have a chance of transforming the system into one which has dealt with the core problems and is designed to meet the needs of our human family and our natural systems. As a united force, the people should have sorted out these blatant issues a long time ago. Because we are free to explore and play like never before, the masses have unfortunately become selfish, ignorant, inactive and downright lazy. This freedom is somewhat illusory though because it is within the context of ideological warfare, a corrupted money supply and increasingly overreaching government policy. In any case, when we compare our quality of life and opportunities in general to the history of what we call civilized society, we have it pretty good. That doesn’t mean it’s true freedom, though. That doesn’t mean we can’t do better too. Some people like to call our current state of human affairs, ‘free-range fascism.’ Given our enslavement to debt and the encroaching and unethical erosion of our natural sovereign rights, this is no doubt true. READ: 3 Means of Waging Personal Financial Revolution Against the Banksters The collective mindscape of humanity has also been shaped and deceived by many forces, such as the propaganda matrix-media, informational warfare, a divide and conquer strategy, materialistic ideology, consumerist distractions, feigned scarcity, political sell-outs, a ruling corporatocracy, a disconnection from nature, fear used as a weapon, worries of not fitting in and societal programming in general. The list goes on. Yet, we must once again acknowledge it is in the context of one of the greatest periods of freedom the people have ever experienced. That’s a good thing. But we also need to understand that we are subjects of a system that is specifically designed to be beneficial for the money makers, the oligarchs, the corporatocracy, and the political elite, whilst the rest of us are left in a constant battle with each other just to survive. It simply doesn’t need to be this way. Sure, we have come a long way and have made some amazing progress, however, if we so choose we could eliminate structural violence – such as poverty, homelessness and other socio-economic disadvantages – nearly overnight. That’s because they are direct products of a system that could be designed in more intelligent and ethical ways. Simply put, this current model, if not the sole cause, is at the least the primary amplifier of all this dysfunction, so if we change it so that governments (i.e. the people) are no longer enslaved to debt, then anhonest money supply and debt-free money creation could actually be used to resolve the plethora of socioeconomic and environmental issues that we face today. In addition, all those insane profits generated from the banking and finance industry could be ethically invested in the right way. Yet we’re led to believe that this is the way that things have to be; we’ve been conditioned to accept that the way our economic structure is designed is out of necessity. But this simply isn’t true. Most people including politicians, bureaucrats, social commentators, journalists, spiritual leaders, celebrities, other famous personalities and laymen alike, don’t even know how the money supply works. For example, did you know that money is created out of nothing? That’s right, if you go to a bank, they just create it and then deposit it in your account. They don’t get it from their vault, they don’t borrow it from anywhere else, they just simply manifest it by entering it into their accounting sheets. Then as you pay it back with interest, they destroy the money they created but keep the interest for themselves. If this sounds insane, you’re right. We should be asking as a people: with all the ridiculous profits that are generated from the banking sector, why isn’t this mechanism publicly owned so that all that money can be invested into social programs, infrastructure, environmental protection, energy alternatives and other necessary social services? Why aren’t the governments of the world (i.e. the employees of the people) creating this money, instead of allowing private families and institutions to create it and then make a profit? Why aren’t we seriously, as a collective, taking responsibility for this role? Shouldn’t ‘money creation’ be used for the benefit of all of us and the environment, not just a small few? READ: All Wars Are Well Planned Banker Wars, Including World War 3 Did you know it didn’t used to be like this? Did you know the banking dynasty have long attempted to control the creation of money and were ultimately successful when the ‘private’ Federal Reserve Bankwas created in 1913? Did you know that JFK reversed this so the government could manage the creation of money, but when he was assassinated six months later the new President signed it back into law? Did you know that the Australian Commonwealth Bank used to be a publicly owned central bank which was the exact model that could pay off national debt, spur economic growth, fund huge infrastructure projects, finance ethical energy industry, resolve entrenched poverty and transition the economy into one of debt-free prosperity? This bank was managed by Denison Miller, who after a decade or so of creating money out of nothing for the benefit of the Australian people, including funding WWI requirements, allegedly died unexpectedly of ‘heart disease’ in 1923. Suspiciously, this bank was then assigned as an arm of the Bank of England (which was a privately owned and controlled central bank) with a ‘new’ committee selected to run the bank’s operations. The same pattern of the death of people who support a debt-free money supply, as well as the systemic destruction of publicly owned money creation, has appeared all over the world. Coincidence? You decide. What’s really important though is that we all understand how money is created, who truly benefits, why we have the system we have today and what alternatives there are. Can you now imagine a reality where central banking is owned and controlled for public benefit? Did you know there has been one running in North Dakota since 1919, which has proven conclusively to be more profitable and advantageous for its local economy than a privately owned system?Did you know that a public central bank could pay off the unbelievable mountains of government debt and take back the control the money supply by simply retiring the banking families and institutions who currently benefit from it? Did you know the impending global financial crisis of 2016-2017 can be avoided by the government issuing debt-free money to lower the private debt issue? This would be called a modern-debt jubilee, also known as quantitative easing (QE) for the people (instead of QE for a corrupt and destructive banking and finance sector). It could literally transition the world into an intelligent way to manage our monetary system. Furthermore, any insolvent institutions (because of their participation in an unethical and unchecked speculative casino), such as private banks and otherwise, could either be allowed to fail or even potentially nationalized, like has been done many times in the past. We have to remember, most of the world’s so-called money is just numbers on a screen; we can organize it however we like to rectify the imbalances and evolve the fiat system into one that actually works. For those who believe this approach is socialism, you’re wrong. It’s called intelligence. For those who believe it would cause hyperinflation, you’re wrong too. The ebb and flow of money en masse could be mathematically balanced. For those who believe that the only way to move forward is by replacing fiat money with a gold or precious metal standard, you’re also wrong. I do sympathize with you, however this new system is logically, mathematically and ethically justifiable, so I hope you can see that humanity’s future is more important than your personal investments in this market. For those who don’t trust governments to manage a nation’s money supply; well, that’s fair enough. The governments of the world have proven convincingly that they are incapable of being effective employees of the people, but it doesn’t need to continue this way. Instead, we need transparency and accountability of our governments like never before. The beautiful aspect of this approach though is that it has the potential to be managed independently of politics through a bitcoin like algorithm. In any case, this is the single most important area that we should all be focusing on, including the plethora of so-called charities, to rectify the injustices of our world. If we did, society would dramatically change the better in record time. It’s just so sad that we have been conditioned to think that the system has to be the way it is, because this is utterly and harmfully false. Moreover, the following interview with Ellen Brown, author of The Public Bank Solution: From Austerity to Prosperity, is a great place to learn more about the public banking solution. It could be applied not just to central banks, but the entire banking sector, too. Given their proven fraudulent, unethical and greedy nature, I don’t think we’d find too many opposed to this approach. For more information, please watch it, as well as share it; being educated about this is the first step of many to resolve so many of the unjust problems we are faced with. About the Author |
