Tara Parker-Pope Is A Stupid Crazy Liar

The "Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial" (SELECT) by the National Cancer Institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health has been ended early because the people conducting the trial were afraid that it was doing more harm than good. They were right, it was - but that's because they weren't using Vitamin E.

Vitamin E is made of 4 components called "tocopherols". These 4 tocopherols are always present when you find vitamin E in food. (The same may not be true of Vitamin C. Most animals synthesize their own vit C; their bodies make ascorbic acid, not "vit C bio-flavonoids".)

So now these researchers spend $ 114 million of our taxpayer money to do a study allegedly on vitamin E and selenium, and then they use not only one tocopherol instead of all 4 , but according to the trial's website they use dl-alpha tocopherol which is the synthetic version! Hey, idiots: a synthetic chemical copy of one of the 4 components of vitamin E is not vitamin E. This "study" was clearly designed to "prove" that vitamins are dangerous so as to scare people into taking prescription drugs instead.

Then, after all that, along comes Tara Parker-Pope, wellness columnist for The New York Times (the nation's paper of record) and says that "The SELECT study is among the most credible studies of a vitamin or supplement ever performed.", thereby identifying herself as a Stupid Crazy Liar.

P.S.

You can buy a vitamin E supplement; it should say "mixed tocopherols", be from a food source, and be in its natural form - a liquid inside a gelcap. Store it in a cool, dry, dark place.

Mad Men Is An Evil Show

Once upon a time, the New York City of 1960s advertising executives seemed impossibly cool to "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner. "I looked at these guys, at this world, these men who were overpaid and drank too much and smoked too much and were glib and cynical and bit the hand that fed them all the time and showed up late and had no respect for authority, and I thought, 'These are my heroes,' " he says. OK, funny line.

--------------------------------------------------------------

No, Mike Duffy, you idiot, it isn't a funny line; he really means it. AMC's new original series "Mad Men" is, like HBO's "The Sopranos" before it, a glamorization and promotion of psychopaths and sociopaths. Weiner's list of anti-social behaviors, his use of the word "glib" (as in glib, flippant liars), and his explicit identification of them leading a "double life" (later in the Duffy article) make it clear about whom he is talking.

There is now a strong push to "position" psychopaths as not only fascinating and admirable, but even as heroes, as Weiner explicated above. Weiner worked as a producer on Sopranos, which was apparently a test case to see if the public would accept this "op". The HBO series presented the main character as a liar and murderer who was also a family man dealing with all the normal stuff of modern American life. So far, they are portraying the psychopath accurately, which could have been a service to humanity - to show everyone what these people are really like. (Not all psychopaths kill, but the mask of sanity aspect is always there.)

But then they added "the twist": he secretly feels bad about killing and torturing people. This is not reality. Psychopaths are - as the movie The Terminator perfectly encapsulated in metaphor - like "machines in human clothing." They do not feel bad about harming others in pursuit of their goals. To show him in counseling sessions with his psychiatrist is an attempt to get us to feel sympathy for the psychopath. That's Evil.

Then came Mad Men; now the psychopaths and sociopaths are making money from killing indirectly - the series begins with the creation of a new ad campaign to get people to smoke more cigarettes, while the ad agency staff comments show that they know the product is causing cancer and other problems. They show no concern at all for their fellow humans - all that matters is finding what works. In their personal lives, as in their work lives, they lie, use other people like objects, and smirk the whole time. We are supposed to find these worthless and evil pieces of crap "interesting"; the show is getting tons of positive reviews.

Then Moonlight joined the "op"; vampire as hero. Well, if we strip away all the entertainment industry BS about coffins, crosses, and garlic, and return to reality, what do we find? The word vampire is from eastern Europe a few centuries ago; the people of that time and place didn't have the benefit of modern biology or psychiatry, but they could accurately describe what they were experiencing. The ancient account of vampires, before Bram Stoker's "Dracula" confused and misdirected everyone, are frightening descriptions of human beings who psychologically and physically torture innocent people for fun and terrorism, with a glib attitude. (Some of them even drank the blood of their victims.) Sounds like psychopaths to me.

While this was going on, Dexter was on cable but it is now on broadcast TV also. The "hero" of this show is a serial killer who only kills serial killers - oooooh! How inventive. The pilot episode made me sick. It is very clear that Dexter does not feel human emotion, but observes others' behavior and tries to mimic it so as to fit in. The show portrays him as gifted in his work (as a blood-spatter expert for the police) who catches the bad guys the incompetent police can't. As if we need them. They even make sure to have his sister (the biological daughter of the people who adopted him) unable to advance in her career without him doing some of her work for her. This is the exact opposite of the truth. It is the psychopaths who cannot pass the test of real life.

Note to all people who are capable of feeling shame and compassion: Psychopaths and sociopaths are not fascinating, are not necessary, and are not heroes.

You Are Not Free

The primary fantasy in this country today is that America is so magical that reality doesn't exist here, and therefore we can deprive people of the resources necessary to meet their needs and they can still be successful. What qualities does that environment select for?

Reality exists; therefore, actions have consequences; therefore, the truth matters. You are not free to lie.

Reality exists; therefore, everything that everyone on the entire planet does affects everyone else on the entire planet in some way to some degree. You are not free to do whatever you want.

You have a group of inherited preferences, as well as other inherited qualities like height, skin color, gender, and intelligence. You are not free to be whoever you want.

You are not free to drive at whatever speed you want, regardless of weather or traffic conditions. (e.g., passing in the far right lane at 80 mph, something I witness frequently.)

You are not free to drive in bright sunlight with your headlights on ( and especially not your high beams) - it does not increase safety, it does increase glare; you are not free to drive in light rain or overcast conditions without your 4 orange corner lights on.

You are not free to believe proven lies.

You are not free to obey liars.

You are not free to harm yourself.

You are not free to poison my fellow humans (pollution, pharmaceutical drugs, Genetically Modified food, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, etc.).

You are not free to cheat.

You are not free to steal.

You are not free to hunt or eat our fellow predator animals ( dog, cat, shark, swordfish, etc. ).

Dimensions, People, and Bodies

There are 9 Dimensions

1st Dimension: Length

2nd Dimension: Width

3rd Dimension: Height ( or Depth)

4th Dimension: Most people now accept that time is the 4th Dimension, as a result of Albert Einstein's Relativity bullshit; however, there is a 4th Dimension of space, making time the 5th Dimension, not the 4th. Yet another thing Stupid Einstein Dummy Boy was wrong about.*

5th Dimension: Time*

6th Dimension: The Aether ( the realm of light)*

7th Dimension: God ( the Creator of the universe )

8th Dimension: Infinity

9th Dimension: The final dimension, incomprehensible to us at our current level of evolution.

The fact that there are 9 dimensions is why 9 is the number of completion in numerology. It also indicates that there are 9 chakras, not 7 as commonly believed. Fortunately, you only have to develop the lower 7 chakras at this level.

*Different types of angels and demons exist at the 4th, 5th, and 6th Dimensions.

How Many Bodies Do U Have?

One-dimensional people only have the physical body; aka "Psychopaths". ("There's no there there."). Having no mental body, they cannot understand anything anyone says, including themselves. They can pretend to comprehend only because of the "spooky action at a distance" of the archon-hijacked Matrix.

2-dimensional people have the physical body and add the mental body; aka "normal people". (Length and width but no depth = shallow.)

3-dimensional people have the physical body and the mental body, and add the spirit body.

4-dimensional people: what is the 4th body? Alchemy is the attempt to acquire it, but our mostly 2- and only a little bit 3-dimensional language is not suited to describe it. The alchemical literature is therefore replete with strange and seemingly contradictory statements about "it". Since experience is what takes you from knowledge to understanding, only when you become a 4-dimensional person will you be able to say what "it" is.
Note on the Evil: The Archons started as 4-dimensional people, but cannot go any higher. More importantly, they cannot raise a human to the 4th level. They promise it as a reward for obeying them, and for helping them have their way on earth, and it is a lie. (The TV show Star Trek:Deep Space Nine represented 4 D evil people as The Founders, and 5 D good people as The Prophets/Wormhole Aliens.)

5-dimensional people can see and move through time as easily as we see and move about in 3D space.

6-dimensional people seem to be "made of light"; communicate with us sometimes through visions, more rarely appearing as angels/beings of light. (4D evil people use very convincing trickery sometimes to fool humans into perceiving them as this.)

There is only one 7-dimensional person: The true God.( The 4D evil person who is worshipped as "the one true god" by the followers of the hijacked and corrupted religions claims to be this - and he may really believe it - but he's a long way off, as you can see ).

The Fantastic 4

Everyone has inherited qualities - like height, hair color, gender, and intelligence. What most people don't realize is that we all also have inherited preferences, and the combination of these inherited preferences largely determines adult identity.

Why should you learn about this? Because it takes a lot of energy to be someone you're not - and that's energy you need for your life.

THE TEST
There are 4 categories, and in each category there are 2 options. Remember, it's about preferences; nobody is all one or the other in any of the 4 categories. Also, in each category, the preference can be strong or mild. Try this simple test:
1.) When feeling drained, what do you need to do to re-charge? If sitting quietly and reading or writing energizes you more, then write down "I"; if walking and talking energizes you more, then write down "E".
2.) If you have a tendency to be sensible and practical, write down "S"; if you prefer possibilities and meanings, write down "N".
3.) If what you think about something is more important, write down "T"; if how you feel about something is more important, write down "F".
4.) The last is about schedules: if you want to explore and discover, write down "P"; if making a schedule and sticking to it is more important to you, write down "J".

THE KEY
I = Introverted, E= Extroverted, S = Sensible (or Sensation, as in physical sensation, as we will see), N = iNtuitive (because the I is already taken by Introverted), T = Thinker (or Tough-Minded), F = Feeling (or Friendly), P = Perceiving, J = Judging.

So, you now have you 4 letter code. (For example, I am an INTP.) The combinations automatically form into certain groups.

THE DIVIDING LINE
The main difference is between iNtuitive types and Sensible/Sensation types.

The S can stand for Sensible - as in Practical - which is generally a good thing, but can lead to certain problems; there's nothing "practical" about resisting The Evil. The S can also stand for Sensation - as in physical sensation. Sensation types are concrete in word and thought; abstract thought is thought of as something to be indulged in only after practical considerations are taken care of, and even then not too much. This group is further divided into 2 groups, depending on whether they like to stick to a schedule (SJ) or not (SP).

The SJ's are people who have a strong, fundamental faith or trust in the institutions of society: marriage, church, government, even any company that has been around a long time. Even though they are Sensation types, the Judging preference makes them resist physical pleasure, which causes the creation of "work-arounds" - sanctifying sex via religion, for example. They cannot choose whether to have these feelings or not, it is their identity. SJ's have a strong need to see themselves as good people. Can have a tendency to worry.
Pros: Bring stability to society, thereby making order possible.
Cons: Inherent trust in institutions and society causes failure to love the truth; generally not very interested in learning about themselves (like this subject, for example).

The SP's are free of that SJ reticence, and revel in physical sensations (esp. pleasure) in a way that the SJ's find both alluring and immoral. SP's who have a preference for Feeling are artists - composers and performers . SP's who prefer Thinking are promoters and sculptors.
Pros: Entertaining, fun, beautify and inspire with artful touch.
Cons: "In the moment" consciousness can make them unreliable; no inherent resistance to the Evil Culture.

The iNtuitives have an inherited preference for possibilities and meanings, whereas being practical or sensible is less important to them. This disdain for practicality can cause friction with the Sensation types. Abstract ideas are appealing to the iNtuitives; concrete words and thoughts seem "heavy"/restrictive. The iNtuitives are further divided into 2 groups, depending on whether they prefer Thinking (NT) or Feeling (NF).

The NT's are calm, rational, scientific and objective. Their relationship with their feelings - both physical and emotional - is conflicted, not because of morals (like the SJ's), but because the feelings are not rational. This affects their sex lives and emotional relationships in a way the Sensation types can't understand. The love of an NF is potentially life-changing for an NT.
Pros: Objectivity makes them very fair; remain calm in the face of problems; science improves the lives of all.
Cons: Other 3 types are not Rational, so NT's have a hard time respecting their rules or ideas; obsession with possibilities makes them forget practical considerations; can be ruthless.

The NF's are deeply caring and compassionate in a way that the other 3 types will never experience. Seek to actualize the self/become the ideal or "true" self. Make great counselors, healers, and therapists.
Pros: See the potential in everyone; love me, love you, love us, love them, love life, love love.
Cons: subconsciously project their essential goodness onto others (even when others don't deserve it); deep connection to spirit makes them forget sometimes that all non-NF humans have a long way to go before we get there; strong emphasis on love can make them susceptible to the "attack on standards".

The Fantastic 4
All 4 types bring good qualities to society; the problem lies in members of some groups trying to pretend they're in other groups (like when SJ's try to be scientists, for example). The comic and movie "The Fantastic 4" illlustrates this beautifully:
Ben Grimm is an SJ - gaurdian, protector, solid as a rock.
Johnny Storm is an SP - fun-loving, entertaining, always looking to "party", but in his element he is truly brilliant.
Reed Richards is an NT - the scientist who invents fantastic technology.
Sue Richards is an NF - caring and compassionate, these qualities are not valued in our society so that she feels invisible at times (but she has invisible power also).

All 4 types must work together to defeat the Dr. Dooms of our world - the Psychopaths.

Psychopaths, Sociopaths, and other sensation types

PSYCHOPATHS
A psychopath is an individual who has an inherited neurological disorder which makes it impossible for them to grow a conscience. It doesn't matter whether the psychopath has good, loving parents and a middle-class socio-economic background (e.g. Jeffrey Dahmer) or suffered some abuse or psychopathic or sociopathic training; the psychopath only turns out one way no matter what you do - biologically human, psychologically monster. The point that seems to be most difficult to grasp for those just learning about this subject is that the psychopaths have all the faculties of human consciousness (including the Interpreter and Projection) except one - a conscience.

The conservative estimate is that they make up 1% of the population; in the U.S.A., with a population over 300 million people, that's at least 3 million psychopaths. Most of them are not recognized as such - except by their victims (and sometimes not even then).

The Psychopath derives pleasure directly from harming others, as an end in itself.

An SJ can be a psychopath, and will have all the qualities of an SJ and all the qualities of a psychopath. This is a real trap for the vast majority of SJ's, because they will focus on the way in which the psychopath is like them; their SJ-ness (faith in institutions and belief in the inherent goodness of everyone - "God don't make junk") will make them "refuse to see" the ways in which he or she is unlike them.

An SP can be a psychopath too, in which case the SJ's will much more easily recognize the fact; the SJ's will see that the psychopath SP, being an SP, is already unlike them and therefore the "psychopathy" will be easier to admit. For all others (SP's, NT's, and NF's) the psychopath SP is very dangerous; he or she can be very charming, and the lack of self-consciousness can seem like confidence to the un-burned.

SOCIOPATHS
The sociopath, as the name implies, was socialized to be that way. It is a man-made fact, and therefore could have been different, and (maybe) can be changed. There is a genetic component, in that all sociopaths are "sensation types" (specifically SP's), but they did not have to turn out that way, unlike the psychopaths.

The SP's - having an inherited preference for physical sensation instead of intuition, but not a preference for sticking to a schedule - have no inherent resistance to an Evil Culture (a Culture of Lying and of leaving people to fend for themselves). Not all SP's are sociopaths, but the phenomenon seems to be increasing with each generation.

In some ways, the Sociopath is like the Psychopath, only less so: lying, cheating, stealing, making promises to get what he/she wants then promptly forgetting what was promised in return.

The Sociopath uses others callously as a means to an end, but does not derive pleasure directly from harming others.

Anyone who feels free to do whatever they want - and is not a psychopath - is a sociopath. How many sociopaths are there in the U.S.A. right now? Could it be 10 million? Could it be more?

There are no SJ Sociopaths, but the SJ's very SJ-ness can make them support The Evil if the psychopaths and sociopaths can get control of the political and economic institutions. This is what has already happened.

EVOLUTION
There are no NT or NF psychopaths or sociopaths. The inherited defect of the psychopath precludes being Rational or deeply compassionate; whereas the inherited preference for intuition over being practical gives an inherent resistance to the "sociopathic training" of the Evil Culture.

SUGGESTED READING
The Mask of Sanity by Hervey Cleckley - the classic work on the subject - is out of print but available free online. Thank God for the internet! (And thank you, you krazy kassiopaeans.)

Available at libraries and bookstores everywhere:

Without Conscience by Robert Hare.

Snakes In Suits by Paul Babiak and Robert Hare.

The Heritability of Psychopathy: Implications and Considerations

The Culture of Lying

The whole planet is infected with a culture of lying.

From James Frey's Million Little Pieces http://www.thesmokinggun.com/jamesfrey/0104061jamesfrey1.html

to the Korean researcher who faked the stem cell cloning evidence http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/01/09/tech/main1194289.shtml,

from the respected Norwegian scientist who faked a study on oral cancer http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/worldwide/story/0,9959,1687477,00.html

to the Abramoff scandal in Washington, from widespread acceptance of cheating by students all across the U.S.A. http://www.ncpa.org/pi/edu/jan98o.html

to "The Right to Lie" http://www.citizenreviewonline.org/mar_2002/lying_to_the_public_okay.htm

The Scientific Method

Even the scientific community has been infected with The Culture of Lying, so insidious is it. Edward O. Wilson - the founder of sociobiology - made the following statement in an op-ed piece in the USA Today: " The great question remaining is whether the human mind originated the same way. Many scientists, I among them, believe it did so evolve. " [Emphasis added] http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2006-01-15-faith-edit_x.htm

By saying "scientists ... believe", he rejects the essence of the scientific method, which is to find out what the truth is no matter what it turns out to be. Furthermore, statements like that make the Faith-based ( i.e. reality-rejecting ) community say, " See, they have their beliefs, and we have ours - science is just a religion. "

Conservativeliberalrepublicandemocrats

The 2 " sides " of the public " debate " are the same side! The conservatives think they have the right beliefs, and feel entitled to force them on everyone; the liberals say, " That's wrong - everyone's free to choose what to believe. " Which " side " is standing up for the truth?

Reality

Reality exists. The Truth is good; the Lie is evil. Nobody's free to choose what to believe.

The Natural Order, pt. II : Predators and Prey

Prey animals - like cows, chickens, turkeys, and deer - have eyes on the sides of their heads, sacrificing depth perception to gain the advantage of early warning. We ( humans ) are a predator species; we have eyes in the front of our heads, giving up early warning system in favor of depth perception. We are hunters, killers, eaters.

Predators eat prey - it is natural and Good. For predators to hunt predators is a violation of The Natural Order, aka "Evil."

Just when U thought it was safe to go back in the water

From a shark's point of view, a surfer looks just like a seal. Sharks hunt mostly by smell anyway - they're very nearsighted. That's why most shark "attacks" are on surfers, and most attacks aren't fatal. The shark takes a bite, realizes the taste isn't right, and releases and swims away. People lose arms and legs that way, but we are not their natural food; it's a case of mistaken identity.

Reptyl

Reptile predators don't seem to have any compunction about eating other predators - dogs, cats, even humans. It's just a matter of size; if a snake or croc is big enough, it might try it. This is why we humans have a natural aversion to the reptilian. And maybe it also explains something a bit more "out of this world"...

Juan Matus vs. The Archons

"We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives."

http://www.prismagems.com/castaneda/donjuan12.html


"In Gnostic cosmology, Archons are a species of inorganic beings that emerged in the solar system prior to the formation of the earth... As inorganic entities of two types, embryonic and reptilian, Archons can at moments penetrate the terrestrial atmosphere and terrorize humans... Hence, Archons are psycho-spiritual parasites." [Emphasis added.]

http://www.metahistory.org/ETArchonNav.php

Perhaps this is why we perceive them as reptilian, when they "hunt" us. This is not a case of mistaken identity; they, being 4D beings,

http://tetraspace.alkaline.org/introduction.htm

know we are not prey, and they prey on us anyway.

The words "Evil" and "parasite" are both correct.

What's America's Problem?

The USA Has An Evil Kultur

A culture of rejecting reality, denying the truth, and choosing what to believe ( all the while loudly praising itself for being "the greatest country on Earth" ). It is very conducive to leaving people to fend for themselves ( which is why it is done ).

To leave people who have never gotten their needs met - and in fact have been under relentless, insidious attack their entire lives ( most people ) - to fend for themselves is evil. It requires that everyone be superhuman, which is pretending that reality doesn't exist.

"It's Tradition"

It goes back to the founding of our nation. Ben Franklin went to France to get money for the revolution, without which the "war for independence" would have been toast, but when he got back, the Continental Congress refused to reimburse him for his expenses. Even then, they preferred the insane fantasy of George Washington, barefoot in a blizzard, overthrowing the British with no resources and no help. It was a lie; it is a lie.

Katrina Aftermath

We saw it in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Millions of people in this country who had not seen it before suddenly saw that the government is not going to take care of you, even when something so huge and powerful hits. The government had to be shamed into acting.

( On a related note: those who watched the TV coverage during that first week after it hit saw something heretofore unimaginable - the media stopped pretending. They are humans and, although they normally are fake as hell, they were obviously deeply affected by what they were witnessing. There was even some conflict between the people in the studio, who were still trying to pretend, and the reporters on the scene, who were shocked into being real. I saw Tucker Carlson get real! That's something I never thought I'd see. He was pissed. He was trying to maintain his professionalism, but you could tell he was fuming inside. But I digress... )

Single Payer

The simple lack of a national health care system in this country is a significant way we leave people to fend for themselves. It creates an environment that selects for qualities like: shallow, callous, greedy, ignorant, & arrogant.

The Fact Of Evolution

This is exactly why The Faith-Based Community ( the people who are in love with the insane fantasy ) are desperate to "challenge" evolution. They don't just object to Darwin's proposed mechanism of evolution, which he called "natural selection" ( which a huge amount of evidence supports ); they must oppose the concept of evolution itself.

If they were to admit evolution, then they couldn't believe in their insane fantasy anymore.

The Grail Is Not The Stone

The Sacred Feminine

In the 12th century, french epic poet Chretien de Troyes ( literally, "a christian from Troyes" ) wrote the 1st Grail Romance - " Perceval, the story of The Graal. "

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

Why? Oh, I know the b.s. about his patron, Philip of blah blah blah. But why that story? Why those elements? Why that imagery? Shockingly to most people today, the original Grail story has nothing to do with Jesus. ( Question for speakers of The Green Language: what kind of christian would a "christian of Troy" B? )

The Goddess religion had a multi-thousand-year history in Europe, nowhere more strongly preserved than France. As of the 12th c., Pauline Xtianity - with a freaking ghost supplanting The Goddess - had been around long enough that the long-standing veneration of the Female was endangered. "Chretien" wove together some old pagan legends with some, carefully selected, elements of Xtianity to preserve That Which Matters Most.

As Jean Markale's brilliant work, "The Grail: The Celtic Origins of the Sacred Icon", makes clear, you cannot separate 1) the bleeding lance, 2) the candelabras, 3) the beautiful young girl, and 4) the grail itself. These 4 Elements are the different facets of a multi-faceted image. Consideration of each 1 in isolation is useless.

In Chretien, The Grail is a container of life: The Grail is the "container" of the man's "lance." And The Grail is the womb, the container of new life growing within. And The Grail is Woman, the container of both of these. In the original Grail story, The Grail is the Sacred Feminine; since it has been Lost ( wed., 9PM EST, on ABC ), The Land is The Wasteland.

Wolfram and Hart

Wolfram von Eschenbach, "a German knight and poet"

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

enter'd the scene, and messed everything up for everybody with statements like "This stone is also called the Grail" and "It is called lapis exilis". ( He couldn't even get "lapsit exillis" right. ) His version of the story has redirected seekers from Chretien's whole point for centuries.

He professes to be illiterate and to have dictated Parzifal, so that could explain the lapis thing. However, he also expresses disdain for Chretien's version - "The phenomenon is compelled to identify itself."

The seeking of the Stone of the Philosophers is very worthy, and ultimately involves The Grail if you get far enough, but they are not the same thing.

My article "Alchemy 4 Dummies", in Jan 2005 archive, is "Gold, Jerry, gold!".

Like an AP course in The Grail

Comparing and contrasting Chretien's Perceval with the Mabinogion's Peredur is not for the faint of heart, or the beginner.

The True Cause of Global Warming

( Note: This article is built on my Feb 05 article, " Vibration Isn't Charge ", and my Jan 05 article, " Alchemy 4 Dummies ". )

Global Warming
If you put a lot of energy into a circuit that has a lot of resistance, that circuit is going to heat up.

There are now over 6 billion people on the planet; every 1 carries a charge. The wave of energy coming in to this planet now is enough to lift it, and us, up to 4D; however, most people have a negative charge, which would have them going to 4D on the negative path. They don't want to be evil, but they don't have the time to follow the clues and connect the dots ( because they are kept distracted/busy ), so they choose the only other option currently available to them: resistance.

And it is that very resistance which is causing the planet/circuit to heat up.

Electricity Does Not Exist
We should speak instead of " electrics ", a field of scientific inquiry, like " physics " and " optics. " Electrical energy, electric current, and electrons are 3 different things. For a great explanation, see http://amasci.com/miscon/eleca.html#exist

Prima Materia
" Japanese physicists have demonstrated for the first time that iron becomes a superconductor under high pressure. Iron loses its strong ferromagnetism - which usually destroys superconductivity - at pressures around 15 gigapascals. Katsuya Shimizu and colleagues at Osaka University showed that compressed iron superconducts at temperatures below 2 kelvin...Iron has a body-centred cubic structure under ambient conditions, which gives rise to its ferromagnetism. Under high pressures, however, it transforms to hexagonal close packing structure, in which ferromagnetism is not thought to exist. " [Emphasis added] http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/5/7/12/1

Superconductor
" The onset of superconductivity is accompanied by abrupt changes in various physical properties, which is the hallmark of a phase transition. For example, the electronic heat capacity is proportional to the temperature in the normal (non-superconducting) regime. At the superconducting transition, it suffers a discontinuous jump and thereafter ceases to be linear. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductor

Sentinels - Designed For Just 1 Thing
SQUIDs ( Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices ) " are also used as precision movement sensors in a variety of scientific applications, such as the detection of gravity waves. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQUID

The Big Bang Is Wrong

The " theory " ( in quotation marks because it is not scientific, and therefore not a theory ) which is now known as the Big Bang was formulated by a Jesuit priest ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang ) , specifically to accommodate the Creation-ism of Christianity.

It is wrong, and the universe is not expanding.

2 Options, No Power

The Matrix likes to set up 2 options, and pretend they are the only 2 options; if you accept this premise, and if you can be convinced ( " prove " ) that 1 of the options is incorrect, then you have to accept the other option. This is how mainstream politics works, for example.

This was done with cosmology in the 20th century. The 2 options were the " Steady State " theory ( taken to mean the universe is unchanging ) and the " Big Bang " theory. Evidence that the universe has undergone some changes " disproved " the Steady State Theory, so the Big Bang was " proven " the right 1.

Unfortunately for them, the evidence contradicting the Big Bang theory has been increasing for decades. Unfortunately for us, the Culture of Obedience has produced a group of cosmologists who accept the 2 option set-up, and so react to this evidence by trying to make it fit the Big Bang model ( to this end, they just keep making up more mystical gibberish - 1st it was neutrinos, now it is the mysterious " dark matter " ).

What Is Energy?

Energy is the capacity to do work, or the capacity of a system to change state. It is a property of matter.

A wave of energy is a disturbance of a medium that propagates through that medium in the form of a wave; if there is no medium, what is waving ?

The Red Shift

From " Dirac's Equation and the Sea of Negative Energy ", by Donald Hotson http://www.zeitlin.net/OpenSETI/Docs/HotsonPart2.pdf A lot of it is wrong ( esp. the use of " must be " ), and the conclusions are not quite correct, but the following section is spot on.

" Among the characteristics of real waves in real physical media is friction. However efficient the transmission, some energy must be lost in the process. This is a characteristic of all real waves, and is a requirement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. One way of expressing the Second Law is that any transformation of energy must entail a loss of energy... So natural is this expectation that, in 1921, the German physicist Walther von Nernst predicted that light from distant sources would be found to have lost energy in transmission (von Nernst, 1921). Then, later in the decade, Edwin Hubble (1929) published a finding showing exactly that. The characteristic spectrographic emission lines of light from distant galaxies, he showed, are shifted into the red end of the spectrum, indicating a loss of energy apparently proportional to the distance the signal has traveled, thus exactly fulfilling the Second Law and von Nernst’s prediction ... Nothing could be more normal and natural, and consistent with the laws and eternal verities of physics, than that light, like every other real signal, should lose energy in transmission over long distances. That the measured loss of energy is proportional to the distance traveled is direct evidence that light is a real signal in a real medium that obeys the Second Law. This interpretation is further supported by von Nernst’s valid, a priori scientific prediction, which was fulfilled by Hubble’s findings. But will you find this logical chain of events, including this fulfilled scientific prediction, mentioned in any mainstream treatment of the red shift? Not a chance. This is because this natural frictional loss of energy was somehow interpreted as a Doppler shift, supposedly indicating that everything in the universe is rushing madly away from us in every direction at velocities approaching light speed. " [ emphasis added ]

So, the very evidence that you have been told proves the Big Bang actually proves the existence of the aether, and that the universe is not expanding.

The Dreaded Aether

The essence of Science is to find out what actually exists; the Scientific Method, therefore, consists of testing ideas against Reality to find out whether they are true or not.

Th aether is " a fluid in order to fill space, millions of times more rigid than steel in order to support the high frequencies of light waves, massless, completely transparent, non-dispersive, incrompessible, continuous, and without viscosity. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminiferous_aether

This is what Reality has turned out to be. Don't like it? Too bad.

Michelson-Morley

The Michelson-Morley Experiment is claimed to have tested the aether, and disproven it. Both are untrue. The MM tested the hypothesized aether wind, and they ( and all subsequent replications and modifications ) performed the test only on Earth. The MM proved that the aether wind is not detectable on the surface of this planet; la dee da.

An Electric Universe

The Standard Model ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_model ) tries to explain the whole universe with just gravity; the plasma cosmologists ( e.g. Eric Lerner & Hannes Alfven ) and electric universe-ists keep trying to do away with gravity altogether ( much like the SM'ers tried to do to the aether ).

Try these links for more info on Electric Universe:

The 3 Fundamental Forces

The Standard Model says there are 4 Fundamental Forces, and now they even want to change it to " Interactions " ( taking after their prototype, Einstein, they don't like the idea of a " Force " ). Recent evidence, however, has shown the Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces are explainable as effects of Electromagnetism, and therefore are secondary, not fundamental, forces. So we are left with only Electromagnetism and Gravity, which they are now trying to combine into 1. To do this, they are trying to combine Quantum Mechanics & Relativity, which is why they cannot do it ( see " Einstein Was Wrong " & " Quantum Mechanics Is Wrong " March 2005 ).

In Reality, the 3 Fundamental Forces are Gravity, Levity, and Electromagnetism ( which is why Adam McLean's Alchemy website is at http://levity.com/alchemy/ ). Gravity and Levity balance each other ( which is why we are neither crushed nor fly off the Earth into space ), and Electricity and Magnetism balance each other ( perpendicular-wise ); the 2 pairs, in turn, balance each other. This is why both the Standard Model's denial of Electromagnetism's role in the cosmos and the plasma/electric partisans' denial of gravity are wrong.

As usual, 1 side has half the truth and half the lie, and The Other Side has the other half of the truth and the other half of the lie.

Einstein Was Wrong

Albert Einstein: Eccentric Genius.. or Agent of The Matrix?

Background

He failed math, couldn't get a position as a teacher ( because everyone found him irritating ), treated his 1st wife like dirt, divorced her, married again, treated her like dirt too. Einstein considered himself a pacifist and a humanitarian; in reality, he was a supporter of Zionism.

Mission

Destroy the aether.

Step 1: Establish Credibility

Einstein 1st published papers on " Brownian Motion " ( proving the existence of atoms ) and " The Photoelectric Effect " ( explaining the " black-body radiation " by hypothesizing the quantization of light ); these were good science, establishing some credibility for Einstein.

Step 2: Special Relativity

In 1905, he published the Special Theory of Relativity, which is based on the speed of light in a vacuum. Since there's no such thing as a vacuum ( the aether is the medium through which the disturbance propagates ), Special Relativity is wrong. This is why Einstein was subjected to ridicule and scorn by the real scientists of the day when he 1st published this - not because his " theory " was so advanced, but because it doesn't make any sense; it's gibberish.

Those who were willing to pretend that it made sense were rewarded with funding and titles; those who did not were ( and are ) dismissed and ridiculed as " cranks ". From Wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_einstein
" In Einstein's view, many of them simply could not understand the mathematics involved. " This is a typical reaction of the psychopath to anyone who dares to call him on his lie; I'm only surprised he didn't tell them to " go see a psychiatrist ".

( Note: French astronomer Camille Flammarion, in his novel Lumen, had described riding a beam of light, and what that would look like to the rider - it was 1st published in 1872.)

Bell's Theorem also " proves " ( mathematically ) that Einstein's Relativity is wrong - the supposed speed of light is not sacrosanct. In 1982, Alan Aspect, et al, in a series of experiments, proved Bell's Theorem true - " spooky action at a distance ", indeed.

Step 3: General Relativity

In 1915, Einstein published the General Theory of Relativity; this was yet another attempt to " eliminate " the aether, attacking the " problem " from another angle. Positing that length, width, and height are united with time, he explained away the Force of gravity as the curvature of this " fabric of space-time ".

( Flammarion said, in 1921, " A space with a shape, curved! Mr. Einstein, you know that space-time, the fourth dimension, is already in the Encyclopédie de Diderot et D’Alembert. But it has not a shape! "
http://www.uv.es/~ten/womeneng.htm )

This was allegedly proved in 1919, during a solar eclipse, with the observation of light curving around the Sun. However, it was long known that a wave propagating through a medium would curve around an object, so when they " confirmed " that light curved around the Sun, they did not confirm General Relativity. Why, then, did they take it as confirmation of it? Because the whole point was to get rid of the aether. Einstein's alleged motivation - that he didn't like gravity being a " mysterious force " - was a smokescreen.

Stupid Einstein Dummy Boy

Well, Agent Smith, er, I mean, Albert Einstein didn't get everything wrong; his statement about the Uncertainty Principle - " God does not play dice " - was right on the money.

Way to go, Einstein.

Quantum Mechanics Is Wrong

( Note: I assume a familiarity with the concepts involved; if you need a primer/refresher, I recommend
" Quantum Mechanics "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics , and
" Wave-Particle Duality "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave-particle_duality .)

The Photon

In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed, as a solution to the " Photoelectric Effect ", that light waves form into packets, called " quanta ". There is always a whole number of waves in a quantum ( packet ), and the packet, as a packet, can behave like a particle under certain conditions. This is why photons have some characteristics of a particle and some characteristics of a wave.

A photon is a packet of waves of energy; it is not a particle.

The Electron

From Wikipedia.org, " In 1924, de Broglie claimed that all matter has a wave-like nature ". Modern " Science " ( which is very unscientific ) now claims this has been " confirmed " with sub-atomic particles, and even with atoms and molecules.

Oh, I'm sorry, that's wrong.

The 4th Spatial Dimension

( A good intro to the 4th Spatial Dimension is http://tetraspace.alkaline.org/introduction.htm )

To get the electron ( or any particle ) to exhibit these effects, they have to shoot it out of an "electron gun " ( the " slit experiment " has not actually been done with a particle very many times, BTW, but you have to dig to find that out ). Doing so artificially puts enough energy into the electron for it to temporarily acquire some of the qualities of a 4D particle ( specifically: flowing like a fluid, bilocation, teleportation ); in performing the 4D " manuever ", it expends that energy, and then drops back to its natural, 3D, state.

There is no such thing as " wave-particle duality ".

The Electron Microscope

The electron microscope does not use light, it uses electrons shot at a material. Electrons, being particles of matter, don't have a " wavelength". So where is the picture coming from? The computer that is connected to the electron microscope turns the results into an image with a program written ( by some person ) to do that; what is the code ( to instruct the computer what to do ) based on?

This cannot legitimately be called " scientific ".

No Such Thing

There are no such things as fermions, quarks, hadrons, bosons, neutrinos, baryons, mesons, leptons, or Hilbert spaces. The smallest particles of matter are the electron, neutron, and proton; they are particles of matter, not " wavicles " or " wavefunctions".

Vibration Isn't Charge

Vibration is of frequency, higher or lower by degrees; " Negative " and " Positive " are properly descriptors of Charge.

The New Age Movement

When New Age gurus speak of " positive vibration " and " negative vibration ", that is like saying " salty cold " - gibberish! They also teach that you can switch your " vibration " from negative to positive just by thinking positive thoughts. In practice, this often becomes just putting on a Happy Mask - that's not how it works.

How It Works

Charge can be strong or weak, positive or negative; vibration is simply high or low. They are related ( see below ), but they are not the same thing.

If you have a negative charge, that's holding your vibration down; you need to switch the charge from negative to positive. Once you become aware that you have a negative charge, you first need to wean yourself off it; when you achieve weak positive charge ( positive charge is your natural state - negative energy beings are literally addicted ), nurture it for a time, and see if you can fan those embers into strong positive charge. Then it becomes possible to raise your vibration significantly, and keep it there.

You can rise to high vibration with negative charge, but it requires a strong negative charge, and you have to be really Evil to achieve that ( e.g., raping/killing ). Most people in this world at this point in time have weak negative charge, because they

> have been under attack their entire lives
> don't want to be Evil, but
> don't understand How It Works

A Few Examples will illustrate the point:

1.) Enron mo'fo's = high vibration + strong negative charge; their material needs are way taken care of, which Standard Fluffy Mysticism would equate with " positive vibration ", but their charge is so strongly negative that they feel they have a right to benefit from harming others ( so that, if their victims fail to effectively defend themselves, then " they brought it on themselves ." )

2.) Musician Jimmy Buffet, and Hollywood actor Jeff Bridges = high vibration + strong positive charge; both are very financially/materially successful, without having to do anything they don't want to, and without harming others.

3.) A person who is homeless and starving = low vibration + negative charge ( could be strong or weak ); blame, anger, fear/anxiety.

4.) Most people in the U.S.A. = low vibration + weak negative charge; so they have to struggle, expending a ton of time and physical & mental energy to try to overcome low vibration, with varying levels of " success ."

Reality

The word " negative " is from the Latin verb " negare ", which means " to deny "; in this ( metaphysical ) context, it means " to deny Reality ", or even " to reject The Truth " ( The Logos says, " I am The Truth, and The Way " ).

Telling the truth is always positive.
Lying is always negative.

The Natural Order

In my article " The 1 True Religion "
( www.jeffreybrauer.blogspot.com - January 2005 archive ) I referred to The Natural Order, and the need to live according to, or in harmony with, it.

Well, what does that mean? Here is an example to get you started.

Time

Facts of Nature

The Day is a Fact of Nature; it is 1 complete revolution of the Earth on its axis.

The Year is also a Fact of Nature; it is 1 complete orbit of the Earth around the Sun.

The seasons are facts of nature, and they matter to the subject of The Natural Order, but in our society, we do not use them in time-keeping.

The Month is based on Nature, but the months we use in our current calendrical system are not the same as the months in Nature.

Day and Night are Facts of Nature, of course, as is Noon; Noon is when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky. Therefore, the Morning ( from dawn to noon ) and the Afternoon ( from noon to sunset ) are also facts of Nature.

Midnight, being exactly halfway between 2 Noons, is legitimate, even though it is a concept and not a Fact of Nature.

( For more on the difference between Facts of Nature and Man-made Facts, see Ayn Rand's " Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology ". )

Lies

The Second, the Minute ( 60 seconds ), the Hour ( 60 minutes ), and the Week ( of 7 Days ) are fiction; they are lies. In Reality, they do not exist.

Why, then, do you behave as though they exist?

Conspiracy Fact

The totality of the evidence strongly indicates that the Human Race is under attack ( see my article " Alchemy 4 Dummies " - January 2005 archive, for what to do about it ) by a group of beings/entities ( demons/aliens/whatever ) that have been described ( www.cassiopaea.org ) as " para-physical ".

Why do I mention this? Well, " they " seem to find it very important to get you to accept lies; there's some sort of energy relationship to that which is essential in keeping you "plugged into the Matrix ", as it were.

So here we have a good example of 1 of the more massive & dominating techniques to do this; if they can get you to accept that Seconds, Minutes, Hours, and Weeks - as presently defined - are real, and to behave according to that lie, then they have you literally lying all day, every day. ( If some different definition, 1 based on Nature, could be offered, that would be a different story. ) Seconds, Minutes, Hours, and Weeks are something that most people take for granted and do not question ( " We accept the reality with which we're presented " - The Truman Show ).

And so you begin to see why I equated The Logos with both " The Truth " and " The Natural Order ".

Metanoia

It is not enough to recognize the concept - you must actually change your behavior. Your ability to change your behavior is limited by the need to interact with society to some degree, but you can bring your own behavior into harmony with The Natural Order by some amount, and we can lead a revolution in society when the opportunity presents itself ( it will, and soon ).

What would we, as a society, do if we rejected this particular lie? Perhaps instead of " February 3, 2005 ", we would say " Day 34, the Year 2005, in the Month of Aquarius ". With that system, instead of the 7 day week, how would the " work week " work? Obviously, there would not be a work week; perhaps everyone could work every other day, with half the people working the even-numbered days, and the other half working on the odd-numbered days. Everyone would get off the holidays, except for essential personnel ( police, fire, military ). It's not the only system that could be Good, but it would be true to Nature, unlike the present system.

What " time " is your alarm set for? It's a lie.

The energy is waiting for you ( see " The Pillar of Celestial Fire " by Robert Cox ). You have to actually do it.

Did Someone Say Revolution?

I mentioned the word revolution in the above section; it's a word that gets used a lot, but not always in its correct meaning ( is the new product from Chevrolet really a " revolution "? ).

Revolution means " a radical change compared to the way things were done before " ( hey, that's not a bad definition for metanoia ... ).

Well, if we're gonna have a revolution, we may as well have a new Constitution:

Proposal for a New Constitution of the United States of America

Update June 9, 2012

My thinking on this has evolved.

Preamble

We, the people of the United States of America, hereby state the following to be true:

That all humans have, by factor of being human, certain rights, and that these include, but by no means are limited to, the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;

That any legitimate Government must have the protection of the people as its highest priority;

That Government is necessary, and can be Good;

That corporations are property, and that property does not have rights;

That the current Government has given corporations rights equal to, and in some cases exceeding, those of humans; and that, therefore, the current Government of the United States is illegitimate, and should be replaced with a legitimate 1.

The Government

There are currently 50 State governments + 1 National government, each as sovereign from each other as the National government is from the national governments of other nations ( that system is called " Federal " ). That is ridiculous and unacceptable; 51 Governments is 50 too many. 1 Nation must have 1 Government; It should be Unitarian and Unicameral.

That Government should have 3 levels: city, state, and national. The national level & the state level both should have 3 branches: Leglislative, Executive, and Judicial. At the city level, the voters should elect an uneven number of heads of departments ( e.g., Mayor, police, fire, commerce, & health) who would meet regularly to vote on issues facing the city, as a city council. The Judiciary at all 3 levels is separate.

The National Level

The Legislature

The Leglislature at the National level should consist of 1 body, to be called The Senate; 1 Senator shall be elected by all the legal adult citizens of each State to represent the interests of all the people of that State ( 50 States = 50 Senators ). Bills in the senate shall pass only with half the votes of the Senate + 1 ( that would mean 26 votes in favor ); Amendments to the Constitution shall require a 2/3 majority of the Senate and the signature of the President of the United States of America. There shall be no such person as " President of the Senate ".

Senators are elected for 4 year terms, with a maximum of 12 years.

The Executive

The Executive Branch is headed by the President of the United States of America, who enforces the laws and administers the programs of the national government. The President shall be elected thusly: the 2 Political Parties ( Democrat and Republican ) shall each nominate a candidate for President of the United States and a candidate for Vice-President ( known as " the Ticket " ); then whichever Party gets a majority in the Senate, the other Party's candidate becomes President. This will ensure that the National Government is both democratic and republican at all times.

The President therefore also serves a 4 year term, but with a maximum of 8 years.

The Judiciary

The Court system should stand separate from the Leglislative and Executive branches ( called " the Independent Judiciary " ) all the way from the lowest level of government ( City ) to the highest ( National ). All judges will be appointed, none elected; Judges should not have to pander to any constituency. The Rational temperament ( see my article " The 3 Types of People " in January 2005 archive at www.jeffreybrauer.blogspot.com ) is strongly preferred for all judges.

Cases can be appealed on the facts, not only on points of Law, all the way to the Supreme Court.

Judges should be promoted from lower levels of the judiciary, with an age limit of 70 years.

The Justice System

The Rule of Law is, by itself, insane; the question, " Was justice done? ", must always be asked, and answered. A perfect system, that automatically produces a Good result, does not, and cannot, exist; Good people are always necessary. Laws are a safeguard against injustice, but become themselves a source of injustice if not tempered by human wisdom.

Some would like a Law they could apply to all situations, to free them from having to think; the only question then becomes, " Was the Law violated? ". Such a system has been proven to violate actual humans, and cannot legitimately be called " Justice ".

The State Governments

The State Governments will operate much as now, with 3 exceptions:

1.) The Governor, though gaining office in the usual manner, will be removable from office between elections by the President of the United States, not for political reasons, but to ensure enforcement of the Laws, and Justice.

2.) The State Leglislature shall, in every State, consist of only 1 body ( Unicameral ).

3.) The Judiciary stands separate, as described above.

The National Defense

The problems with the Military ( the Military-Industrial Complex ) almost always, and in the case of wars with other Nations, always, stem from the vaunted " Civilian Oversight " of the Military. The elected officials, and/or officials appointed by them, use the Military for nefarious purposes, to advance political and/or economic agendas. This is a criminal mis-use of the Military.

The people of the Military are highly honorable, their strength at the group level deriving from their commitment to each other, and to Duty, at the individual level. Therefore, I hereby propose what all will think radical, and some will think terrible:

Let the Military stand alone. No civilian oversight. The vast majority of the men and women in the Military are good people, wanting to do Good, desirous of protecting the people of this nation, and their freedoms, and willing to risk life and limb to protect not only our people, but all people, if so called upon. Let them do it. Let the Military run itself, according to Duty and Honor.

So long as there is civilian oversight of the Military, there will be no such thing as a non-Criminal President.

Funding

How will the Government be funded? Well, I'm glad you asked:

We Must Eliminate Money

It's Inefficient
As the Open Source (software) Movement has shown us, money causes unnecessary duplication of effort. Sure, you say, I can see that with software, because of how easy it is to copy information - but you can't do that with cars or houses.

Well, let's look at the scientific community in the modern era, which has given us all the neat stuff - from cars to computers, from refrigerators to airplanes - that we enjoy today. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Culture

"The principle of sharing predates the open source movement; for example, the free sharing of information has been institutionalized in the scientific enterprise since at least the 19th century. Open source principles have always been part of the scientific community. The sociologist Robert K. Merton described the four basic elements of the community - universalism (an international perspective), communism (sharing information), disinterestedness (removing one's personal views from the scientific inquiry) and organized skepticism (requirements of proof and review) that accurately describe the scientific community today. These principles are, in part, complemented by US law's focus on protecting expression and method but not the ideas themselves. There is also a tradition of publishing research results to the scientific community instead of keeping all such knowledge proprietary. "

Did you notice the second to last line ? " These principles are ... complemented by US law's focus on protecting expression and method but not the ideas themselves." So, business/government allows this " communism " at the creation stage, because they know it's more efficient and effective, but then makes the results of that communistic creation ( the tech we have today ) " proprietary ", so they can charge us kazillions ( see " It's A Scam ", below ).

Without this unnecessary duplication of effort to make money, how much productive capacity could be freed to create a high standard of living for all? And what about the billions of people worldwide who never had the chance to find out what greatness they could create, that might benefit us all, simply because they had to make money to survive?

But wait, there's more. As Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation has labored to point out for many years, the "open source" movement itself was created to make the free software movement more palatable to Business; of course something valuable ( essential? ) was lost in the translation ( see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html ).

Money is inefficient, impractical, and immoral.
It's A Scam
1.) The Federal Reserve orders some money printed.
2.) The U.S. Treasury prints the money.
3.) The Federal Reserve buys the money ( it doesn't cost much to print the money ).
4.) The Federal Reserve then lends the money to business and government at interest.
5.) The Shareholders of the Federal Reserve then buy real goods ( gold, minerals, land, productive businesses ) with the fake money ( the interest paid ).

So, the whole U.S. economy is built on a scam.

For a glimpse of how deep the rabbit hole goes, see " The Myth of the Rule of Law " at http://www.solari.com/gideon/q301.pdf .

Oh, I can hear you now: " that's because of paper money ", or " we need to go back to the gold standard ", or " blah blah blah ". Really? Were these problems non-existent then? They existed, and have only gotten worse. The best you can hope for with those solutions is to make massive problems slightly less bad. And in Reality, so long as there is money, it will always only be a matter of time 'til we reach the present state again.

Not good enough.

It's Evil
Money was created so that some ( very few ) would have a lot of it, and the rest ( the vast majority ) would have little to none; that is Evil. Money literally causes poverty. At the level of the individual, obviously having money is the opposite of poverty; at the level of the human race, though, the fact that money exists consigns the majority to poverty - that is why it is done.

From David Chandler's http://www.lcurve.org/ :

" Quoting from After Capitalism by political philosopher David Schweickart,

If we divided the income of the US into thirds, we find that the top ten percent of the population gets a third, the next thirty percent gets another third, and the bottom sixty percent get the last third. If we divide the wealth of the US into thirds, we find that the top one percent own a third, the next nine percent own another third, and the bottom ninety percent claim the rest. (Actually, these percentages, true a decade ago, are now out of date. The top one percent are now estimated to own between forty and fifty percent of the nation's wealth, more than the combined wealth of the bottom 95%.) " [ emphases added ]

( George W. Bush, John F. Kerry, and Osama B. Laden are all members of the richest 1%, BTW - but I digress ... )

As Thom Hartmann put it, " For example, every year, millions of Americans revisit Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" about Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob (and Tiny Tim) Cratchit. Yet somehow Americans fail to realize the subtext of the story (and so many of Dickens' other works). That subtext is that the middle class is not a normal thing: exploited workers are the norm. In fact, in the six-thousand-year history of the "civilized" world, a middle class emerging in any nation has been such a rarity as to be historically invisible. " [emphasis added]  http://www.thomhartmann.com/articles/2004/06/scrooge-marley-inc-true-conservative-agenda

We are taught, almost from birth, that civilization began @ 5,000 years ago; we are also taught that money began @ 5,000 years ago. They want us to believe that we have to accept money if we want the benefits of civilization.

What if it's a lie?

It's Unnecessary
What if there was a technology that was pollution-free and so efficient, it obviated the " need " for money?

Richard Hoagland, in trying to figure out why some planets " radiate more energy out into space than they receive directly from the Sun ", created what he calls " The Hyperdimensional Model" ( http://www.enterprisemission.com/hyper1.html ). In it, he explains how 4D energy is " pulled down " into 3D by spinning bodies ( whirling dervishes, Neo spinning and hovering while fighting the Agents Smith in Matrix Reloaded ) - it's like " free " energy ( there's that word again ... ).

For those not versed in physics, an excellent intro to 4D is at http://tetraspace.alkaline.org/introduction.htm.

Some " conspiracy theorists " would say that the Secret Government already has this tech. However, because of The Culture Of Obedience, most of the " leaders " in business and government are quite stupid; so, it's entirely possible that they can't figure it out. Their modus operandi is to get us to figure it out for them, then declare that it's their property and charge us to use it just a little bit.

I have an even better idea ...

We must eliminate money now; not " eventually " - this year, 2005.

Faith Is Evil

1.) Reality exists

2.) Therefore, actions have consequences.

3.) Therefore, The Truth matters ( and that is why it matters ).

4.) Therefore, Good and Evil are objective.

What follows from this? You are required to love The Truth; you are not free to choose what to believe. It is not " just my opinion ", and it is not my decision.

In real life, as on Buffy, Faith is the Evil Slayer.
