Being the kind of person who likes to let my mind rift on certain events and themes, I started thinking about why the media went out of their way to disguise the fact that all the main characters in the Rittenhouse drama were white with German last names. I ended up running smack into Nazis, Catholics and yes, Q itself.
The surname "Rittenhouse" (Reittighaus) comes from Austrian nobility and means "of the marsh house". Grosskreutz is another Germanic surname meaning "Great Cross". Rosenbaum is yet another Germanic surname, meaning "Rosebush". Finally, Huber comes from a Germanic term meaning "landowner," and implies a wealthy individual with "huben" being an appreciable amount of land.
The casual observer might be forgiven for thinking the four central characters in the Kyle Rittenhouse drama represent roll call at the Beer Hall Putsch. In fact, the verdict was handed down on 19 November 2021, almost 98 years to the day of the anniversary of the Nazi's attempted coup d'etat on 9 November 1923. For the time being, I will dodge the numerology of the number 9.
On a symbolic level, Austrian nobility saved America's heartland from a Socialist coup fomented by Catholic secret societies. The three men taken down can be associated at the meta level with the Templars (Great Cross), the Rosecrucians (Roaebush), and someone claiming ownership of the land, which could describe the Vatican via the Unam Sanctam papal bull of 1302.
Is any of this meaningful or useful to us? Who know? But I have always been fascinated by the way Universe appears to place patterns at the heart of human events.
Additionally, Mark Twain's observation that history never repeats, but it often rhymes has become nearly axiomatic.
By what I've found online, the Rittenhouse family in America dates back to the 1640s, in German settlements around Pennsylvania. That makes the family one of the original European settlers in North America. German settlements in Wisconsin began in the 1840s, and came in several waves. German settlers across the US tended to be agricultural, with a smaller but significant number of metal smiths (Kyle's father is a machinist) and, of course, beer brewers.
Wisconsin, according the US Census, is 87% "white," though it doesn't say which flavor of "white". Hispanics make up a bit more than 7%, of which Kyle is partly a member. Blacks constitute a little more than 6% of the population, and all other listed groups rate less than 3%. Given those numbers, it's curious that the rioters chose a section of Kenosha that is predominantly minority.
With that little fact in mind, it would appear for all intents and purposes that the rioters were in fact the supremacists. They seem to have been mostly of German descent and chose a section of the city that would inflict the most damage on minority people and businesses. With Kyle's partial Hispanic heritage, one could conclude that he was defending minorities from violent supremacists, or in other words the exact opposite of the narrative we are having shoved down our throats.
All of this is purely speculative and circumstantial, of course, but it does raise some interesting questions to consider.
In the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bombs for the US military, much of the metallurgy work took place in and around Chicago, IL (recall German settlers and metal smiths). Kenosha is certainly part of Chicago's metropolitan area, and could be considered a suburb or bedroom community. The state line is all but meaningless in this region. Needless to say, the project was highly secret, and thus "subrosa".
Following World War II, a great number of scientists and other captive Nazis were brought to the US to aid in weapons development and the fledgling space program, via programs like Operation Paperclip. Metallurgy would have been, and still is, a key component of weapon and rocket design, and Chicago and Decatur would have been natural locations to send Nazi experts. Those Nazis and their families would have found a ready home among the large German communities in the area.
Might some nefarious entities within the US federal cabal have maintained pockets of Nazis in and around Chicago for use as Gladio-style disruptors? Perhaps they were offered new identities and a comfortable lifestyle in exchange for maintaining readiness to deploy to hot spots. This would take some considerable research to validate, but circumstances certain present an opportunity to create this scenario.
Even more nebulous, but there nonetheless, is the Rosenbaum name. The rose is an ancient symbol that adorned the keystones of Roman archways, and private conversations (conspiracies) were often held under rose symbols to such an extent that the term "subrosa," or under the rose, is still an expression for keeping something quiet. The keystone aspect also ties in with Pennsylvania - the Keystone State - and the large part that German immigrants play in that state's history. There's also the role of "keystone" within the Q Phenomenon (see my 30+ articles on topic in the archive at right).
In Q Lore, "keystone" is a recurring theme having to do with the revelation of deep secrets (subrosa). The name "Epstein" is also considered to be an amalgam of "epi stein," or center stone, or keystone. This is not a tenuous connection. All Qvians know of the epstein/keystone/secrets connections.
At this point, the reader can appreciate that the tentacles of speculation run off in many directions and deep into history and across today's headlines. There may, of course, be nothing to any of this, but I tend to take notice when symbols begin to line up in meaningful ways.
I'll leave it to readers to ponder and research these ideas, and I will continue to look for pieces that fall into this narrative. In any case, I perceive many deeper layers to the whole Rittenhouse drama, and the layers beg further investigation, given their interlocking meta tags and implications.
We can say with absolute certainty that the media and political players have gone out of their way to create as many false impressions of the events in Kenosha as they possibly can. This implies that they are covering tracks and working overtime to obfuscate something, and I submit that I may have found at least a part of that something.
As a bonus for those who made it this far, at least two writers I've found say that the name "kenosha" descends from the Menominee language, meaning "the place of the long fish," a reference to the prevalence of pike in local fresh water streams. The image of a fish brings us once again back to Catholic symbolism and the Age of Pisces, which is currently coming to an end as the Great Month of Aquarius rises.
In addition, the name "Wisconsin," according to one source, comes from the Miami language and means "a river runnin through a red place". This is interesting for the relationship of the color red to roses, and the large body of symbolism attached to rivers, especially as it relates to the flow of time and life itself (see Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn)
Oh, and if you get a chance to enter an old Catholic catherdral, particularly in Europe, make a point to look at the confessionals. Above the doors, you will find the symbol of the rose.
Making the rounds of late has been the curious story of the U.S. National Solar Observatory closing in Sunspot, New Mexico, and the strange goings-on surrounding that two-week long mystery. It appears to be resolved now, but like any good spy thriller, things are rarely what they appear to be.
I should note up front that just about everything that follows is purely speculative, though based on the noted facts at hand. When one steps into the world of spooks, codes and anti-coup, one necessarily enters the realm of intuition and instinct, where up is down and black is white.
What we know is this:
1) On 30 August 2018, Q claimed to have neutralized/offlined/disrupted/destroyed all or part of the CIA's Snow White computer array, and the UK's Big Bird satellite along with several of the CIA's Corona-class satellites (Q2008 to Q2021); and
2) On 6 September 2018, the National Solar Observatory (NSO) and the local post office in Sunspot, New Mexico, USA, were reportedly shut down, and FBI personnel and Black Hawk helicopters were seen in the area; and
3) On 16 September 2018, it was announced that the observatory would re-open on the 17th, and that the whole thing was due to a "suspect in a criminal investigation," later changing to suspicion that a janitor (!) was using the WiFi to send and receive child pornagraphy; and
4) The observatory has advanced laser and communications arrays used in various scientific investigations related to space; and
5) Sunspot, NM is located adjacent to the White Sands Proving Grounds and Holloman Air Force Base, with line-of-sight views to the important military facilities; and
6) The CIA was founded in part on the use of Nazi spy networks belonging to Gen. Reinhard Gehlen; and
7) White Sands was home to a number of Operation Paperclip Nazis during the nascent phases of the US space program.
It should also be noted that a number of respected researchers and authors, including Joseph Farrell, Peter Levenda and Jim Marrs, have found numerous circumstantial ties between post-war Nazi networks and the assassination of JFK. This comes into play because of the strange meme among the Q-vians regarding the supposed role of John F. Kennedy, Jr., in all of this. And certainly let us not forget that from the air, JFK's gravesite forms the letter "Q".
In order to set up the speculative conclusions I will draw, we must first examine microwave and laser (also called Free Space Optical) transmission technology.
The two most common communication media that requires line of sight are microwave, which has an extremely narrow beam angle and a high-frequency waveform that can carry large amounts of information over vast distances without the need for repeaters, as long as one maintains line-of-sight, and laser, which can be used in a strictly binary, on/off mode (blinking), or modulated to carry large amounts of data with a carrier wave.
Microwave transmitters are small, cheap and can be run off of a car battery or similar power source, all of which can be carried by one person. Microwaves can also be bounced off of shiny, smooth surfaces, a technique often used by remote news trucks in cities bouncing signals off of glass-skinned buildings. The beams are difficult to detect unless you are directly in their path, making for ideal covert signalling with either terrestrial targets, or orbiting geostationary ones.
Similarly, laser transmissions are very narrow and cohesive over large distances. In fact, the National Solar Observatory (NSO) - note the logo - has quite a few powerful lasers used for various "science" applications, such as laser altimetry (LIDAR) of the Moon, so hitting geo-synch assets would be little problem for such technology.
In fact, I suspect that when communications are "lost" with Mars rovers, they are in fact transmitting covert data to Earth via LIDAR lasers on the various orbiting craft, but that's another story (or is it?).
Both of these media are very difficult to detect and intercept, It would be quite easy to set up loops that would shut down communications as soon as the beam were disrupted, meaning that even if they were found, trying to tap into the beams be nearly impossible.
Both systems are also highly portable and ground stations could easily be transported by a team of two or three people in a car or light aircraft. They set up in minutes and could be moved around at will, meaning the teams would never be in one place for very long.
Once set up, the team would send out a military-grade GPS signal, allowing the orbital assets to target the receivers. Large amounts of data could be sent quickly, and the whole thing packed up and gone in half an hour or less, depending on how well coordinated the operation was.
The only limitations would be the footprints of the orbiting assets. A geo-sync satellite would have about 120-degree longitudinal coverage range, while low-orbiting (LEO) assets would be considerably less. LEO assets would also have roughly 10-minute windows every 90 minutes in which to send and receive. In both cases, though, the orbiting assets could easily bounce signals to other satellites for global coverage; however, every bounce would increase risk of detection or signal interruption.
What is interesting to me is that the take-over of the NSO occurs fairly close in time to the claim by the entity Q that it had disabled US/UK intelligence/espionage assets both terrestrially (Snow White) and in orbit (Corona and Big Bird). Q claimed to disrupt the network on 30 August 2018, and seven days later the NSO was shut down and evacuated for ten days.
It is thus reasonable to assume that the take-over was an attempt to communicate either outside Q's surveillance modes, or among Q's network without outside interception. Given that the FBI was involved without the local authorities, it would likely be the former than the latter, since the FBI and CIA have been established in the Qniverse as targets of Q's clean-up efforts.
Thurn und Taxis postage stamp
At this point, we need to take a quick look at the post office in Sunspot, NM, which was shut down and taken over along with the NSO. Most people would completely miss this detail, but it is key to my suspicion that the whole thing is a military operation related to communications.
The general public is unaware that the United States Postal Service (USPS), and indeed most national postal services, are under the jurisdiction of Admiralty Law, or Law of the High Seas, due to the fact that they are involved in transferring goods and information across national borders.
This supranational jurisdiction was established by the Treaty of Bern of 1874, and currently operates under the Universal Postal Union, a UN agency. All of this was a result of the efforts of the Thurn & Taxis company, a private German postal service operated between 1806 and 1867 (note dates relative to the Treaty).
This effectively places any address with a postal code that receives mail (and likely e-mail as well) at least partially under Admiralty Law. Taking over the post office would then place the NSO incident outside US jurisdiction, which is quite curious indeed.
Now that we have tied in Germany via Thurn & Taxis, it's time to turn attention to the Nazi angle in all this.
It is important to establish right off the bat that the Nazi Party was a Socialist movement. It's name translates as the National Socialist German Workers' Party. While this is often denied by leftists who throw the term 'nazi' around rather...um, liberally at right-wing opponents, it is nonetheless true.
We need also to be mindful of Operation Paperclip (and others), in which the US brought numerous high-ranking Nazis into the US, who then were used to set up the country's space program and intelligence networks, specifically the CIA. Note also that the USSR did the same thing for the same purposes.
Thus, by the 1950s, we have hard-core Nazis working in both the US and USSR - both sides of the Cold War - with more or less carte blanche within both countries while setting up some of the most sensitive and most high-tech operations in both countries.
This position would certainly allow the Nazis to maintain global networks of spies with access to state-of-the-art technologies. Along with ex-patriots in South America and other locations, they would operate above national levels (supranational organization) with near impunity.
The rise of the Nazi party also coincides with the rise of communist and socialist activism within the US that has persisted to the current day, and is in fact a major issue within the US at this time. See Bernie Sanders, the Clintons, Barack Obama, and new faces like Alexdria Ocasio-Cortez.
Q has made it clear that it is opposed to these established Socialist individuals, as well as their networks within the US federal government.
Project Veritas has recently exposed quite a number of Socialists within the federal government using its facilities for their own purposes at taxpayer expense. This is precisely what we would expect if Nazis had infiltrated and more or less taken over the US government.
The Nazis were known to utilize radical Muslim groups in their efforts to purge Jews from Europe and elsewhere. There are numerous links between key Nazi figures and various Muslim leaders and militant elements throughout World War Two - too many to rehearse here, but which the reader should research, since this would establish a clear link between Socialist activists and radical Islam, which seems abundantly clear to many folks today. We need only note established links between the Bush family, the Clintons and Obama, and the Muslim Brotherhood, al Qaeda, the Taliban, etc. ad nauseum.
A number of qualified researchers, including and especially the three mentioned above, have demonstrated a great many links between the assassination and Socialist/Nazi elements within and outside the US, especially among Cuban, Russian, and Ukrainian expats in Dallas, Texas, and elsewhere.
Few reasonable people are unaware of or deny the coup d'etat that occurred around the assassination and the prominent rise of the Bush family - provably Nazi sympathizers and collaborators according to Congressional testimony and censure of Prescott Bush (father of George Sr.).
We now have clear links between the Nazis and US political dynasties, as well as between Nazi sympathizers and Socialist activists within the US, and to espionage/surveillance organizations, and to radical Islamic groups. These links are both historical and current.
Assuming Q is what it says it is, then let's see where the narrative stands at this point:
In 1963, Socialist/Nazi elements had taken over a significant part of the US federal government through the CIA and the national space program, and had used those agencies to establish and maintain a global supranational network incorporating their colleagues in the former USSR, and elsewhere.
Fearing that JFK was intent on dismantling their network, they conspired to assassinate him and instituted a coup d'etat that has continued up to the current day.
Certain loyalist elements within the US military formulated a couter-coup at least as early as 2012, and likely before. The counter-coup is represented at least in part by Q, and it recruited Donald Trump as its front man to aid in the retaking of the Executive Branch of government, which would have significant influence over the Judicial Branch through the appointment of judges to the federal circuits and the Supreme Court, thus effectively retaking two of the three branches. This would also avoid an outright military take-over and side-step all the associated problems with that issue.
As I have previously established, Q is also a marketing plan being used to mobilize disenfranchised elements of the US populace to heavily influence Congressional elections, particularly those upcoming in November 2018. This effectively includes the Legislative Branch in the counter-coup.
On 30 August 2018, Q claims to have cut off significant communications assets belonging to the CIA and MI-6 (UK), including Snow White, the Corona constellation, and Big Bird (the reader would do well to research the connections between UK nobility and the Nazis as well).
I should also mention that the Nazi angle necessarily includes the Vatican and Q is clearly targeting that institution via the human trafficking issue, as well. This angle is quite complex and will be the subject of future posts.
Seven days after Q claimed to shut down communications the FBI, established by Q as part of the Black Hat brigade, took over the NSO and local post office for 10 days. The NSO has robust tools usable for microwave and laser communications both with terrestrial and on-orbit assets. The location is well away from the dense eastern seaboard, and the inclusion of the post office would have significant legal impact on jurisdiction, making it a truly military operation under international law.
This would also explain the presence of Black Hawk helicopters at NSO. These are hardly necessary to investigate a janitor using the WiFi to download kiddie porn.
This was a move of desperation to establish an emergency communications network outside of the ones normally monitored by the NSA/Q groups. Whether microwave or laser, they are both robust, wideband and virtually undetectable and uninterruptible.
No credible story for the take-over has been forthcoming from "official" channels.
All of this is, of course, highly speculative. Everything depends on how much credibility we give Q and whether we believe it is one of the White Hats.
That last statement may disturb some readers, but in fact NO ONE knows who or what Q is, possibly even including Trump himself. The only information we have is what Q has told us, and Q has admitted several times to releasing disinformation without regard to who is reading and following the Q Drops. Not only is this a clear admission that Q is a psy-op, but it means that we cannot trust ANYTHING Q says, since any or all of it may be disinformation.
Thus, Q may indeed be a military operation to retake the US federal government, or it may be an operation by the Black Hats to neutralize Trump supporters and prevent them from taking any real action (enjoy the show), or even questioning what Q/Trump does or says (trust The Plan, patriots are in control).
What we do know is that Q has predicted several highly visible actions that never materialized, beginning with the first drop and the arrest of Hillary Clinton, up to and including the declassification and publication of the notorious FISA warrant and the "test" of the national emergency broadcast system, which was to have occurred 20 September 2018, but did not.
At this point, the reader may think, "If Q is fighting Socialists/Nazis in a counter-coup, that's a good thing, right?"
In a word, no.
As a gangland war among factions, Q may be no better in any respect to what we have at the moment. We have no way of judging, since none of Q's operation is transparent and Q has admitted to lying on purpose, and Q has been wrong on a number of key predictions of impending action.
Q has admittedly used immoral, unethical and illegal methods, making it no better than the current batch of Socialist/Nazi operators running the federal government.
Q would have us believe that the System is good, but run by bad people. In fact, it is the System which facilitated the current situation and will continue to facilitate future corruption because it is inherent IN the System.
In effect, what we have is one cancer fighting another cancer to control a larger cancer. No matter how you slice it, you end up with a tumor. We cannot say with any objective reason and certainty that any of it is objectively good, nor even beneficial.
There is ample reason for thinking people to maintain arm's length with Q. The Q-vians sound very excited and make attractive cases for following Q, but it is all based entirely on conjecture and wishful thinking.
Judging by what little evidence we have at hand, a dangerous game is afoot and despite all the rhetoric, we have no idea where the boundaries are drawn. Coded communications, disinformation, secretive psy-ops, wild-eyed followers - none of this should make a reasonable person comfortable.
I ask all current and potential Trump supporters - were you fully informed of all this BEFORE the election?
Since Q-vians apparently have forgotten their history lessons, it should be noted that Q/Trump and followers frequently mention The Storm. Folks should recall that Hitler often referred to The Storm in his rise to power, and that the Nazis had paramilitary troops in their early days called the Sturmabteilung, or basically Storm Troopers.
Just something to keep in mind when gleefully promoting Q.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since I mentioned Peter Levenda as an inspiration for some of my speculations, I invited him to comment on this article. His insights will be valuable not only to me, but the serious reader making inquiry into this topic:
Thanks for the shout-out in your
article on Q. I am not a follower of the
Q phenomenon beyond knowing that it came out of the
Pizzagate hoax and that it has not said anything
particularly noteworthy beyond conspiracy theories it
cannot prove. I know Q has passionate (or
perhaps ironic?) supporters, particularly at Trump
rallies, but I regard it as a hoax and pretty much
ignore it except when people send me emails and instant
messages demanding that I respond to the latest Q-based
fantasy. I ignore those, as well!
That said, there are a few points I
would like to make while I can still think rationally
(!).
I must disagree on one point you
make. National Socialism was not and is
not Socialism. The term was appropriated
by the Nazis to woo people away from the Left and
Center-Left parties in Germany at the time. A
core feature of Socialism is the concept of class
struggle, which the Nazis denied. They
also attacked internationalism, which is another core
feature of Socialism and Communism (vide "The
Internationale"). That the Nazis were
authoritarian and totalitarian – like Stalin in Russia
and Mao in China – cannot be denied, but there the
similarity ends. To say that the Nazis
were Socialists because “Socialism” is in their name is
like saying the North Koreans are Democrats and
Republicans because their country is the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea.
Then, you cite an article by
Operation Veritas that “proves” that there are
Socialists in the US Government. First,
there was only one person identified in that article as
a Socialist, and not a whole cabal of Socialists.
Second, the US Government employs millions; there
are bound to be Socialists, Communists, Nazis, Fascists,
and even Catholics in that mix, as it would be if it is
representative of the country’s population. That
doesn’t mean anything sinister.
But then you miss an excellent
opportunity! You cite Thurn und Taxis,
but without mentioning that the birth of the German
Workers Party took place immediately after the massacre
of the ruling elite of the Thule Gesellschaft on April
30, 1919 by the Reds in Munich. One of
the assassinated Thulists was Prinz Gustav von Thurn und
Taxis. That murder set off a chain
reaction in Munich as the Whites battled the Reds for
control of the streets and eventually the city. The
Whites – the anti-Communists – won. The
DAP grew out of that conflict, met in the same hotel
rooms as the Thule and had reciprocal memberships, and
eventually attracted the army spy, Adolf Hitler, whose
job was to infiltrate the militia groups. (See my Unholy
Alliance for a description of this event.)
Thus the idea that “National
Socialists” are actually “Socialists” is disproven by
history, by political platform, and by documentary
evidence. National Socialism arose as a
response to Socialism, Communism and Marxism and, yes,
even to Capitalism. It denies the basic
principles of Socialism. Conflict is not
class-based, but race-based. The nation
is the ultimate value and principle, and not the workers
or capital. And membership in the nation is to be
determined by race. Nazism is a form of
Fascism, and in the Fascist state the people do not own
the means of production (as they do, theoretically, in
Communism). Instead, the corporations and
the government work hand-in-glove to the detriment of
the workers. That was the whole idea, and
it is anathema to Socialists and Communists alike,
although it attracted the support of some Capitalists
for obvious reasons. (We are much closer
to Fascism in this country than to Socialism, by a long
shot.)
You are right to be concerned about
the effect Q is having on the discourse of its
followers, and it is only one more symptom of our
hostility to rational thinking, careful criticism, and
fact-based reasoning. But it does
represent a new paradigm in the field of investigative
journalism: the idea that anyone who can
use Google can claim to be a “journalist” or a
“researcher.” I applaud the idea of
citizen journalists, and recognize that real citizen
journalists risk their lives and freedom every day in
war zones around the world. But if we are
to set ourselves up as an alternative to the “mainstream
media” then we have to be better at it, not worse.
Q is worse; not only worse, but not even in the
same category. It is satire masquerading
as journalism and revelation. It is
entertainment masquerading as information. We
need less of that – a lot less – and not more.
UPDATE: I no sooner get my rant posted than Lew Rockwell pops up with nearly the same argument, though with a more serious tone.
I have to say it has been very entertaining watching the antics of the American GeezerMedia for the past year. They are in complete meltdown and don't understand why no one is listening. Even Hollywood is feeling the pinch as folks just plain get tired of all the mind-control crap being pumped at them.
I predicted years ago, somewhere around the time I started this blog, that this would happen. Eventually, the lock-step group-think would lose its grasp on society and the swing back to the other side would begin in earnest.
The socialist goose-stepping reached a peak under Obama. A kind of semi-religious hush fell over the populace, where no one could criticize the first black president. The Democrats tried desperately to keep the magic going with the first female president (I purposely won't use "woman" to describe Hillary Clinton), but it failed miserably. Now all the Puppet Masters and their mind-controlled clowns are panicked as their perceived perch atop the world's Mind is lost.
The most interesting part of this whole charade is the intense battle to define Fascism as a right-wing phenomenon, and the desperate attempt to define the common terms used in everyday life, so that the Puppet Masters can control how and what people think.
The right wing are called "alt" and "extreme," while the left wing are "fighting" and "reacting." No media outlet will mention that the right-wingers have all taken permits for their marches, while the left-wingers show up uninvited and start all the fights. Wild attempts are underway to silence anyone that doesn't sync with the Proscribed Narrative. Corporations, NGOs and all sorts of quasi-official "authorities" have been mobilized to plug the drain.
What no one, and I mean NO ONE is saying is that Fascism is defined by the marriage of corporate and governmental power. That is its raison d'etre.. That is what differentiates it from other forms of "authority." It is not a left-right paradigm, it is up-down, which doesn't fit in the carefully crafted narrative we are all supposed to consume and spew back.
The other thing that is being VERY CAREFULLY hidden is the fact that the term "Nazi" is short for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. If you don't read German, that's the National SOCIALIST Workers' Party. It's a left-wing movement. Damn fools think most people won't look it up on Giggle or are completely ignorant of history. Well...I guess they're right in that regard.
As they pull down statues right and left, they are also banking (used advisedly) on the fact that no one knows the Civil War was started by Democrats, that racist Dredd Scott laws were instituted by Democrats, and that Democrats have caused just about every major collapse of civilization in the past 2,500 years, starting with the Greeks.
Furthermore, NO ONE will mention that the entire premise of Democracy rests on an educated and erudite populace, which judging by the campuses in the US don't exist anymore, if ever.
In every single instance in current events, it is the left-wingnuts who are censoring, destroying and injuring. It is the left-wingnuts who fling urine and feces at peaceful protesters. It is the left-wingnuts who ambush police, burn down businesses and demand the silencing of even the slightest opposition. And it is the left-wingnuts who control the GeezerMedia narrative and make it positively unpalatable.
Some may point to the Neo-Cons, but they are left-wingnuts in disguise. There is no difference philosophically between the transition from LBJ to Nixon, than from Obama to Trump, except that there are exactly ZERO conservatives in the US Federal gummint. There are only Democrats, and Democrats who called themselves Republicans to get elected, with the possible (though tentative) exception of Rand Paul.
The public narrative is oh-so-careful not to point out that Nazis were left-wingnuts and that all this collusion between corporations and government is the very definition of Fascism. In a real and organic system of government, it is supposed to protect people from the corporations and the use of financial power to seduce and coerce the masses.
It is an absolutely bizarre spectacle going on the US these days. It is the insane leading the deluded. It is normal people being overrun by nitwits whose idealism comes from a bottle of Xanax. And in the end, puerhaps that's the root of it.
Perhaps Big Pharma has so doped the populace that people are incapable of reacting to stupidity, or conversely, folks too drugged to comprehend reality. Perhaps all 300 million Americans are in a pharmaceutical cloud, incapable of clear thinking on anyone's part. Nothing else adequately explains the sheer disconnect from anything sane.
Kinda scary...but for once I agree with Donald Trump. Someone take my temperature QUICK!
Regular readers here will know that I have some serious issues with Mr. Trump, not the least of which is that I don't trust anyone that refers to himself in the third person (in English, anyway). I don't deny that he has exceptional business skills and in another life, he was likely a carnival barker. However, I have grave reservations about his ability to convert those skills to a job that requires tact and diplomacy. These, I think, are in rare supply in his personality toolbox.
That said, I agree with his nationalist impulses. While I am one of the most diverse people I know, I also think that every culture should have a homeland that preserves and propagates those things which make every culture unique. You see, though I enjoy many cultures and have learned a lot about them, I also think there needs to be a Texas for Texans, a Germany for Germans, and a China for Chinese.
I think everyone has the right to preserve and protect their unique culture. God knows I jump through enough hoops living in a foreign country, both legally and culturally, but if I want to, I think I should have a "homeland" to go back to (or at least visit). By "homeland," I do NOT mean those bozos and their ilk who infest airports and other public facilities across the US.
Where all of this rambling is going is to the point of Trump's joust with judge Gonzalo "Cielo" Curiel. Seems the good judge is a member of the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association. Just so you know, the "la raza' part means THE RACE, as in (with these yodels) the Aztec race.
There are so many things wrong with this lawsuit, I hardly know where to begin. One thing I am quite sure of is that La Raza is a deeply, profoundly, radically, nastily racist organization. I don't care how many fancy words, like 'lawyer' and 'association' you put around it, La Raza is RACIST.
I have first-hand experience with these numbnuts. They formed a political party back in the 60s in Texas, and I crossed paths with them many times while campaigning with my dad. Thinking I was ignorant of Spanish (a mistake many people make giving me plenty of ammo when I need it), they always referred to me as "guero," which is slang for "white boy."
La Raza is, for all intents and purposes, the Latino version of National Socialists, or Nazis for short. They believe in this mythical pipe-dream called Atzlan, which was a legendary place even to the Aztecs that was just 'out there' somewhere, waving a casual hand in the direction of North America.
These La Raza tea-baggers, though, actually believe that Atzlan was a real place and that they are going to reclaim it, waving a casual hand in the direction of the US Southwest. Just like the Nazis, these putzes have convinced themselves that Azlan, like Valhalla, is their 'homeland' and that it needs to be reclaimed.
Reclaimed from their hashish-fueled fantasies.
All of this comes even before we start noticing that the prosecutor in the lawsuit is a member of La Raza, and that these bean-suckers also donated HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of DOLLARS to Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Like I said, there are so many things wrong with this case, it's like an onion with matching aroma that makes your eyes water.
I don't give a rat's patoot what color, race, creed, religion, or any other divisive group you care to use that you are, if you call yourself "The Race" and you seek to eradicate people who live in your imaginary 'homeland' that never existed, you are a racist fool at best, and an slime-sucking jerk-wad at worst. As for Judge "Cielo," take your pick from that spectrum.
I have no idea what is up with Trump "University," but I guarantee that I would never have paid thousands of dollars to be a part of it. And even if I did, guess what? Buyer beware. If there was fraud involved, I am sure that would have come out in a FAIR trial, but what we see here is a railroading, and I abhor the whole things, I don't care if it's Trump or Joe Blow.
The fact remains that La Raza is equal to the KKK, or the Nazis, or the Black Panthers, or any other racist group you care to name. I don't truck with any other them, and they have no place in a civilized society.
But maybe that's at the heart of the situation. Civilization itself is, and has been for some time, in decline. I don't agree that what the Europeans did to North America was right in any way, but one doesn't fight racism with more racism. And one certainly doesn't claim to want to restore some mythical lunacy like Aztlan. Sorry boys, but there are/were lots of other native nations in the US Southwest that would/will take issue with your claims, beginning with the Lipan Apache, Comanche, Hopi and Navajo. Your little La Raza fantasy can go suck lemons.
I'm all for Trump, or anyone else, getting a fair trial, such as they exist in the US. This kind of deck stacking is inexcusable and so blatantly motivated by a serial criminal trying to cover her own tracks, not to mention the glaring racism coming to bear.
When/if Killary ever comes to trial, I would/will raise the same complaint if the judge and prosecutor are members of the Greater Minnesota Misogynist Association of America, Inc. As much as I'd like to see that...er, person rot in jail, the trial should at least have the IMAGE of propriety. This Trump circus isn't even trying to hide the complete lack of impartiality.
Lest you have any remaining doubts about the fascist leanings of La Raza, remember that the American version grew out of Franco's Spain, and when it transferred to the Americas, evolved into an anti-Spaniard movement to rid Mexico of the "invaders." The problem is, you look at a photo of Judge "Cielo" and you will see that he is most definitely NOT a Zapata native. He is a Spaniard...a white boy...a guero. He is a slimy enemy even to himself. He is the worst kind of racist - one who can't figure out which race he is or which he wants to fight.
I know nothing about Trump but what I read in the papers. But I do know first hand that La Raza is a nasty, racist, fascist organization that should be publicly castigated and the whole monkey trial thrown out or moved to a somewhat more circumspect-appearing circus ring.
There are several items on the agenda today. The first has to do with the discovery of yet another species in Indonesia. Seems these kinds of articles come around ever six months. This is due in part to the fact that Indonesia still has a frontier. There are thousands of islands that comprise the country, many of which are uninhabited and unexplored - at least thoroughly.
This discovery involves a new kind of 'walking' shark. Seems there are nine species of such, with six here in Indonesia. There are an amazing number of critters here, such as butterflies that range from the size of a thumbnail to a dinner plate, hornets the size of hummingbirds, and millipedes the length of your hand from heel to fingertip. It's a fascinating place and one you won't soon be bored with.
The next topic always generates angry email. I'm a big fan of Texas independence. I've worked for it for many years. Most people think that Texas independence is one of those topics out in the loony realm, or at best a pipe-dream of complete nincompoops.
However, it seems that even mainstream Texans are ready for it. In fact, the Texas governing bodies themselves have been planning for the eventuality, especially if/when the US economy goes tits up, which is likely soon. Apparently, even big corporations are quietly moving their headquarters to Texas, not only for the tax benefits, but because Texas is one of the largest economies on Earth and could easily be self-sufficient.
For the the two or three folks who don't know, Texas has been a sovereign nation twice - from 1836 to 1845, and again from 1860 to 1865. Both times, Texas was squatted on by the US feral gummint, which has a long history of doing such things that extends to the present day.
In many ways, Texas still is independent. The floor of the capitol bears the seal of the Republic of Texas, not the state. The Texas flag flies along side of the US', not below it. Texas maintains energy independence from the US. And the US feral gummint is not allowed to own land in Texas, just rent.
Though in the past, many Texans have been used as cannon fodder for US military adventurism and has produced one US president (LBJ - the Bushes are a bunch of Connecticut yankee carpet-baggers), there is a growing sentiment that the US is out of control and folks don't like it. Twenty years ago, a lot of folks thought I was crazy for talking about independence - if they were polite - but now it's becoming a real issue, as feral gummint agents get out of hand and the US increasingly turns on itself. The process started during the Clinton presidency, but it has positively soared during the reigh of Barak the Boneheaded. With the US economy imploding, there may soon be a new nation among nations, and I, for one, can't wait.
The final topic today involves an editorial on Russia Today regarding the fascist take-over of the West. This is another one of those discussions that has languished in the "Do Not Touch - Conspiracy Theory" files, yet it takes but about an hour of reading to get the idea that it just may be true.
I'm referring to the idea that the Nazis not only did not lose the war, but that they effectively took over the West through agencies like the CIA and NATO. The editorial goes on to make the point that even Israel is complicit in the Nazi victory.
Few people - especially Americans - realize that the eugenics movement began in earnest in the US years before the Nazis came to power. Courts ordered forced sterilization based on family history or mixed-race breeding. There were impassioned appeals to clean up (and whiten) the gene pool. Certainly, the century-long campaign by the US feral gummint to erase the aboriginals was far more deadly than the Final Solution, and just as genocidal.
Fascism also has a long history in the US. Over the past century, the various levels of US government have become increasingly subservient to corporate interests. It is plainly visible to most folks that corporations are more equal than individuals. Even the US public school system is based entirely on the Prussian model, whose function was to crank out soldiers, not thinkers. Is it any wonder that the US today can only solve its prolems at the point of a gun?
The most damning evidence of the victory of fascism is the massive effort to save and protect top-ranking Nazis after the war. The Russians took their fair share back home, but when they were done, they returned their Nazis to Germany.
On the other hand, the US and the NATO countries employed the Nazis, protected them with new identifites, used them to create the CIA, NASA and NATO itself. South America has areas that one would swear are carved right out of the Schwartzwald and the Alps. The Nazi refugees who ran to Brazil and other nations were a thinly hidden secret. Martin Boorman was conducting business under his own name and Josef Mengele likely continued his horrific work in Peru. There's even significant evidence that Hitler himself was carefully hidden in Indonesia.
When you make a deal with the devil, there's hell to pay.
As the article clearly points out, the US wasn't alone. The British nobility, including Edward VIII, were Nazi sympathizers. Heck, most of them are of German descent, another carefully hidden secret.
The layers of this onion are only now being peeled back to reveal how deep they go. A number of top-notch researchers have uncovered vast networks, deep conspiracies and wide cover-ups. By allowing such creatures to not only go unpunished, but actually rewarded, has encouraged that historical error to propagate to the point that US foreign policy is cast in hot lead and gunpowder.
Until recently, most Americans were woefully ignorant of what their nation had become, because they only saw it from the inside out. Now that federal tyranny has come to Main Street USA and drones, soldiers and tanks are actually rolling over Ma's apple pie has the terrible truth struck home: the hunter has become the hunted.
There is only one solution: place America's leaders - past and present - on trial for crimes against humanity. Bring the truth out into the open and drain the festering wound that lies and secrecy have left on the nation's psyche. Unless justice is done, those in power will continue their horrors until it all collapses. When it does, they will likely have yet another escape plan - perhaps off planet?
The American people, and indeed the entire Western hemisphere - must wake up and take action. If not, it will become so unbearable as to resemble Orwell's boot stamping on a human face forever.
Unfortunately, most American's are so steeped in propaganda that they can't see what horrors are being done in their name. That only other option is that they are complicit.
The time is fast approaching when the world will find a weakness and attack. That time may have already come with the recent developments in and over Syria. As soon as the bully is shown to be all fluff and no puff, his victims will show no mercy in retaliating.
Texas should hurry and get out. Positive action such as that might make the rest of the world a little more lenient on the Lone Star Republic. In fact, y'all might get some credit for helping shut down the war machine that is destroying the world.
Looking at Drudge this afternoon was such a prime example of fiddling while Rome burns (almost literally). S&P cut the credit ratings of nine European nations, including France. Bammy wants another $1.2 TRILLION debt ceiling hike. The US Navy is swarming all over the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Hormuz begging for a fight. And what's the top story?
The playoffs.
It just made me slap my head. It's all about Brady's workouts and Tebow's 'hail Marys' and the largest-ever audience for a playoff game. Excuse the French, but who gives a shit?
John D. Rockefeller
It's not really surprising. The hey-day of Hollywood was the depths of the First Depression. In times of stress and uncertainty, people always turn to one thing they can depend on...escapism. Men who have been emasculated turn to symbolic manhood, though I daresay Australian football requires significantly more amounts of testosterone than the padded-up American version. Women, of course, watch for the tight pants and rippling beef on display, like rodeo judges examining prize bulls.
The spectacle of it all would be so amusing, but for the seriousness that it papers over. Greece and Italy have both installed unelected bankers as head of state, which is de facto fascism on display. That other Euro nations will follow is without doubt. We are seeing the rise of the pre-World War II world once again, with America playing Germany as the military expansionist. This time, the Axis powers are engulfing the Western hemisphere. It only remains to see who will play the Allied powers, though certainly China and the Asian Alliance are auditioning for the role.
What's interesting to watch here is the game being played by China, Iran and South America. China is shadowing the US in the East. When the US sets up a new drone base, the Chinese move in next door. When the US tries to choke off Iran's economy, China opens the back door. And the whole time, Iran in down in America's back yard making new friends and sending the message that the US can't depend on a flaccid southern flank.
On the sidelines, the banksters and the military-industrial complex are funding and arming all sides, as they always have. They don't play favorites, except when it comes to their own pockets and dinner tables. A fine example is the US (corporation) selling missiles to Israel, who in turn sell them to China, so they can shoot them back at the US. The beauty of the deal is that the US (corporation) gets plausible deniability and Israel is literally swimming in teflon, since the media are owned by dual citizens whose primary allegiance is to Israel.
Make no mistake, Israel is not run by Jews. They are Rothschild agents who wrap themselves in the trappings of Judaism as a wolf wears wool among the herd.
But the real news is the sheer panic within the ranks of the Anglo-American empire. Something has them seriously spooked and running scared. We can pretty much rule out Sino-Russian interests, though they don't seem to be much worried about whatever it is. In fact, they have both been rather quiet about the financial implosion sweeping the western hemisphere these past few years. In fact, they seem almost amused by the antics of Wall and Fleet streets.
We know from Orwell and watching the machinations of the elite over the past century or so that the original plan was to carve the world up into trilateral governorships that were supposed to be beholden to a central planetary power. The three regions would be played off each other to keep things just destabilized enough that each region could be controlled through war and shortages of everything. In fact, Orwell laid it out quite plainly.
However, on the road to empire, a fourth power has shown up and spoiled the cake walk. Joseph Farrell makes a compelling argument that it is the next generation of International Nazis. At the end of WWII, Martin Boorman and the top party brass escaped to Argentina and Chile, including most likely, Adolph himself. Through Prince Bernhardt and the Bilderbergers, Boorman placed the equivalent of $16 billion in cash and gold into Anglo-American banks, who gladly took the loot, figuring the Nazis would eventually die off and they'd keep it all scot free.
Well, things didn't quite work out that way. The modern descendants of the original Nazis called in their markets and the cocky Wall/Fleet Streeters figured they could get away with saying no. So 9/11 happened and literal truck loads of gold vanished from under the towers and since then, the empire has been scrambling to pull itself together.
In their self-inflated hubris, the Anglo-American elite had pretty much crapped on the entire world. They had few, if any, friends left. Certainly China, who held a significant portion of the US debt wasn't going to lift a finger to help out, causing the western elite to play power politics hard-ball with them. That only exacerbated the problem.
Since the re-unification of Germany, there's been a slow, almost imperceptible reformation of the Third Reich. The German army has quietly begun taking on the trappings of the old Prussian ways. Without a doubt, the EU was a Nazi post-war plan, cooked up even before the war began. We take note that in the latest round of devaluations, Germany's rating remained intact, though every other major economy in Europe got whacked. With Goldman Sachs alumni running Greece and Italy, and France, Spain and Portugal soon following, the final unification of Europe under German hegimony will be complete. And with the next-gen Nazis yanking their loot out of the Anglo-American system, it will utterly crash and burn, becoming unable to put up even a cursory fight.
One sign that all this is actually the case is the fact that the Nazis were close allies and benefactors of the Muslim world. They were responsible for establishing and supporting such regimes as Libya, Egypt, Iran, and Iraq. One doesn't need to think too long to see a pattern here. Perhaps all the Middle East wars and artificial revolutions of the past ten years (since what?...oh yeah, 9/11) have been to shake up the power base of these very countries.
It seems that the Anglo-American elites are in the battle for their lives against an enemy they thought they had defeated and subsumed. It looks for all the world as if the Fourth Reich is ascendant, and this time, they have the bull by the horns.
One has to remember that the US and UK were initially big supporters of Hitler and the Reich. The Rockefellers and Bushes and that ilk funded the Nazis, and in fact, the Nazis incorporated a lot of ideas from the US elite, such as eugenics and racial purity. It went awry when Hitler began issuing non-debt money from the state treasury and extracting the German nation from the Rockefeller/Rothshild mafia. It stands to reason that the Nazis would be a little sore about their benefactors turning on them and might want a little revenge when the time was right.
It shouldn't be too much longer before we know the truth. Toto is already tugging at the curtain and soon the wizard will be revealed. Already, the Anglo-American elite have shown their hands, so it's just a matter of time before the mystery foe does the same.
Ahmadinejad - The Southern Tour
The one thing the US/UK elite can not afford is a focused and concerted effort to reform the political and financial systems at home. That's why Ron Paul literally scares the shit out of them. He is marshaling folks and bringing up issues they DO NOT want to talk about. They are absolutely terrified of showing their weakness to anyone, especially the sheeple. If he is elected, the wars ended, the troops brought home, and the Federal Reserve shut down (or at least thoroughly audited), they will wither and die like the wicked witch of the West.
Oh, and where does Ahmadinejad go to discuss the situation at hand? Why, to South America, which is where those fine folks from the Reich have been doing their thing for the past 60 years.
Just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it? Now you have something to think about during the playoffs.
Once upon a time, I believed the hype about America being the greatest country ever. In fact, the founding ideals were pretty astounding, in that a country that free had never been tried before, at least since the creation of the modern nation-state.
The dream went bust on Halloween afternoon 1981. I had just spent about a year and a half backpacking around the world. I was 19, and with that experience in my hip pocket, I could call myself a worldly guy. I had seen quite a bit of life and the world, having my passport stamped in 37 countries on three continents. In all that time and in all those places, I pretty much had a free ride through immigration. About the hardest time was getting out of Morocco, because I smoked Marlboros, which implied that I was a hash smoker. Long story that.
Anyway, I looked a bit scruffy, sure, but that's to be expected after such an adventure. My beard and hair had grown pretty long, and I had a pretty severe sunburn from a nude beach in Australia, so I wasn't able to bathe before jumping on the plane home.
At immigration, the jerk at the counter was passing folks through with nary a glance at them, most being foreigners. When I got to the counter, he spent 20 minutes looking at my photo and then at me, asking me questions about why I had been out of the country for so long. I mean real second-degree kind of questions. I, of course, having been raised a Texian and with a strong foundation in history, politics and law, was not about to answer any of them, and said so.
Finally, the jerk pointed at a side bench and said, "See that man over there? He likes people with beards."
I muttered something rude under my breath, calling the jerk's paternity into question and implying that the other fellow's sexual orientation might have something to do with his affinity for beards.
I stepped to the second counter where I got more questions about where I had been and why. I quoted Edmund Hillary and left it at that. Jerk 2, being dissatisfied with my disdain for jackboots proceeded to completely dismantle my backpack, which (after a year and a half) was a masterpiece of intricate packing.
His grinned the whole time, as he literally undid every single item in the pack and threw it on the floor. I made some comment about the obvious similarities to Nazi Germany and how I had been much freer outside the US than I was just momets after arriving on my home soil. Figured I had nothing to lose, since the bastard was determined to make as big a mess of my possessions as he could. My only crime was having dared to go abroad for an extended leave and brazenly defending my right not to answer intimate questions about it.
That was 1981, and from that point on, I know precisely what tyranny was. I hadn't found it in any other country on my travels, save East Germany. It was still decades before TSA would be created, but the foundation was already there.
Quite a few years later, while I was involved with the Texas secessionist effort, some group came out with a study showing that every single American, big and small, was controlled by more than 20,000 laws the minute they rolled out of bed in the morning. Who could possibly follow the law when there were so many? I noticed the headline the other day that 40,000 new laws took effect on January 1. Not counting all the years and laws in between, that's 60,000 laws governing your life.
That can only mean one thing...no human being who lives in America can go through a normal day without breaking some laws. It's impossible with that many laws in effect. At some point, you're going to trim your nails the wrong way, or use the wrong light bulb or use too much water in your morning flush.
I have to say, that's pretty much insane.
The most egregious part of all that is the NDAA, euphemistically called the National Defense Authorization Act. It literally declares every man, woman and child who has US citizenship to be enemies of the US. At any point, and for any arbitrary reason, you can be declared an enemy combatant, stripped of your citizenship and imprisoned and tortured without legal representation or even notification of next of kin. You just vanish into a Kafka-esque nightmare.
Back in the day, when the evil commies were sending folks off to psychiatric hospitals for 'rendition,' they came across a rather stalwart fellow named Alexander Solzhenitsyn. They tried every trick in the book, but could not break him. Finally, he was asked why this was so. He simply answered that they had already taken everything of value from him, so he had nothing left to lose.
These are dangerous times. When you have 300 million people with nothing left to lose, great upheavals in history tend to result. Sad to say, this will probably not end well. The record gun sales before Christmas speak to a great many folks taking things pretty seriously, regardless of who they envision will be at the business end of those guns.
The real answer to this situation is so much more pleasant. The US has reached this point because their culture has been corrupted by the controllers. The simplest and most effective answer is to take it back. It's a time for folks to start creating new art, new music and new literature, but keep it out of the corporate grist mills. Instead, start distributing it on the net, passing out CDs, printing up books and trading them at fairs. Create beauty and pleasant things and refuse to let the corporations feed off of it. Keep it at the real level.
We teeter now at the brink. The number of similarities between the US and Nazi Germany are eerie. The Enabling Act and the Patriot Act, the SS and the TSA, the Reichtstag fire and 9.11. Even the US wars shadow Germany's 'lebensraum,' with blitzkrieg replaced by 'shock and awe.' An ominous black cloud is drawing down on North America. Both periods in history center around global economic depressions. There's no escaping the historical rerun, but there is still an opportunity to change the course of events.
The election of Ron Paul presents an interesting possibility. It would force the shadow elite into the open. They have already exposed their media manipulations because of him. We are likely to see blatant fraud at the polls. If he wins, They will be forced to kill him or watch all their plans and machinations set back decades, if not centuries. That 70% of all donations from military and federal employees are going to Ron Paul is very telling.
It's as if the world is holding its collective breath. The masks are off and all sides can see who is really behind them now. It's just a matter of time before someone blinks, and when they do, all hell will break loose. The question is, which side? It's a foregone conclusion that the side who shoots first will lose. The damnedable part is that the US government is doing everything it can to provoke just about everyone in the world, including its own citizens. It is itching for a fight, but so far, no one will give it any satisfaction, and if it starts the fight, it will lose all credibility, though it has precious little remaining.
Profound changes are coming, even more so than those already past. Without a doubt, the side of evil and tyranny has already lost. It always does, but it never fails to keep trying. Insanity is a sad thing to witness. The rules are different this time around, though. No side has a fall-back position. It will be an all or nothing fight. What we on the good side must realize is that we can't succumb to their tactics. We must do something completely different.
We must take back the culture. We must extract ourselves from the means by which they control us, and that is done with media of all types. We must find alternative channels to communicate and educate and entertain. We must boycott the TeeVee and the movies and the radio. We must completely ignore all the avenues by which they project power into our lives.
Every eyeball, every eardrum, every taste bud becomes a weapon against our own minds and souls. Only by shutting them out completely can we hope to dismantle their ivory towers. If we unite, not in war or protest, but in truth and beauty and unity, we can destroy them without a single shot being fired or noose being strung. Just stop listening.
If no one listens to their talking heads, if no one buys their music, if no one reads their books, if no one goes to their movies, it will kill them as surly as any weapon. If we create our own counter-culture and refuse to let them usurp it, it will cause them to wither and die. Support bands who don't want a recording contract. Read books that don't have major publishers. Watch movies that aren't distributed by the major studios. Better yet, create your own and share it with your friends.
It's a strange concept and it seems all too simple. But it is, and it works. The 1960s in America was a radical time because the counter-culture was out of Their control. It didn't take long, though, for Them to absorb it by greed and avarice. They only win because we play their game.
It's time to change the rules.
15.8.11
Let's start off today with a little thought. I know, I'm asking a lot, but work with me here.
Have you ever been doing something and thought to yourself, "Hey, this sure is like [TeeVee show/movie/commercial]."
Do you ever find yourself talking like someone you've seen in the media? For instance, you're talking about sports and you use words like trample, vanquish, topped, et cetera? Do you ever notice the things you say to other people sounds a lot like what you heard on the news or in a program somewhere?
The reason I ask this, is because I've gotten two email now asking me to explain how the media influences us. The both pointed to my constant berating of the media. They're thoughts run along the lines of, "If I know they're trying to program me, doesn't that cancel it?"
Short answer: No.
Being a creature of the media, I am quite guilty of using movie quotes and advertising tag lines. I've written quite a few of them myself. I try to sprinkle some real literature in for good measure, and whenever possible, I plug really high-quality movies, but I rarely resort to TeeVee programs, unless it's Star Trek.
The point is, even though I am trained in media, am fully aware of how it is used and why it works, and am fully cognizant of the mind control that comes out of the TeeVee and movie screens, I'm still susceptible. I just got cable installed in my home office so i can watch the other-than-US news, though that's increasingly hard to find.
Last night, my wife and I were watching Ang Lee's Hulk, which I consider to be high art, and I noticed that my wife was gripping my arm and actually buying into the movie. She was sucked into the suspense and action. I laughed, which nearly scared the life out of her, because I haven't been able to watch a movie like that in decades. About the only thing that can actually get to me is Apollo 13. Makes me cry when I see the parachutes...every damn time.
Anyway, back to my point. The media use a tool that Madison Ave. figured out years ago, and which most media rats know about. It's something called 'template implanting.' What the media does is bury behavioral 'templates' deep in our minds. Even if you think you are blocking it, you're not. What happens is that when you are confronted by a situation, you will tend to react using one of the implanted templates.
When I was in grade school, I actually ran track...after a fashion. As part of my psych-up, I would envision the 6-million dollar man so that I could run at 60mph. The result was I ran just like Col. Steve Austin...in slow motion. The thing is, I was using media-implanted templates to guide my real-life actions.
Maybe you've used lines like, "Where's the beef," or "I'm lovin' it," or "Just do it!" You used those lines to imply something you learned from the media. A template was implanted in your sub-conscious, so that when you wanted to express a certain idea, the only way you could come with to express it was an ad tag line.
Why do you think the young folk in America all sound like they are from the middle of Harlem? Why do so many boys think it's fashionable to wear their pants half around their knees like prison whores? Why do kids all go crazy about certain toys right around October (just in time for Christmas)? They've all been implanted with templates.
Watch movies really closely, and by that i mean turn off the sound. Focus on the pictures. How many brand-names can you identify in the average 10-minute reel time? How many are being touched or used by the stars?
Have you ever purchased a product because someone famous that you looked up to or admired promoted it? Why do you give someone you've never met any credibility at all? You really have no idea who they are or what their motivations are.
The upshot of all this is, your behavior, at least in groups of 100 or more, is completely predictable. Why? Because you've been imprinted with templates that control how you will react in just about any given situation. It's part of the supposed 'mind-reading' machines that security agencies are deploying. Your behavior can be predicted by your body language and the general context in which you find yourself. It's just a few algorithms to calculate your most likely future actions in any given situation, based on how you move and react.
The thing is, cave-dwelling 'terrorists' who never watch TeeVee or movies are less predictable than you are. So who do think all those surveillance toys are really intended for?
Is there any hope?
Yes. You can deprogram yourself. Be very careful what you allow to enter your eyeballs and eardrums. Surround yourself with art and fine music and good movies. Avoid violent content and seek things with high language, not the ghetto trash that passes for dialogue in most 'entertainment' now. When you're wondering what to do for entertainment, consider the museum or a live play, rather than recorded media. It's much easier to program 'templates' when someone can edit the visuals and audio for just the right effect.
I hear many people wondering how so many folks could willingly give up their rights and liberty just to get on a plane. It's because nearly everyone in the world now has a template implanted. The constant barrage of images of planes flying into buildings has implanted a sub-conscious fear of being one of the people on a plane like that. Even if you hate the TSA, you are willing to submit because the behavioral template in your mind tells you that if you don't, you will die when your plane crashes into a building. The actual chances of that happening are nearly zero, but fear is not rational.
Want another example? Why do you think of government employees as 'authorities'? They have no more clue about the world than you do, but you are more prone to believe someone you are told is an 'authority,' than any old person on the street. Obama is using a fake SS#, has a house that he has not paid taxes on, gave the people an obiviously fake birth certificate, has violated just about every clause of the US Constitution, and yet I still read where he's an authority, since he (let me finish laughing here) Constitutional law.
There are thousands of examples of behavioral templates. I guarantee if you think about it, you will catch yourself reacting with a template at least a couple of times a day. Hell, when you want to come off as romantic to your squeeze, what do you think of? Flowers? FTD. Cards? Hallmark. A drive in your hot wheels? Chevy. Candy? Hershey. You've been programmed.
If you find it almost impossible to cut yourself loose from the TeeVee, try this: don't watch the news or any of the lame cop/lawyer/federal agent shows, or especially comedy (one of the most dangerous). Instead, choose classic movies and entertainment with classic themes. Better yet, watch Mel Gibson flicks back-to-back. That'll clear your head.
Another good way to deprogram is try not to buy anything in a package with a logo. Buy fresh veggies and get meat at a proper butcher shop wrapped in white paper. Why? Because when you buy Ragu sauce and enjoy it, you are re-enforcing the programming by associating good experiences with a brand. If you can break that cycle, you can start defeating the templates.
One more thing. If there are extension classes near your house, think about taking a course or two in media and advertising, or film and art history. Learn where our cultural symbols come from. Learn about the thing that invades your mind 24-hours a day. Take the mystery out of it and learn how it works. There are some great books, too. Check out Marshall McLuhan. It might interest you to know that much of modern theory about advertising originated with Nazi propaganda and freaks like Sigmund Freud.
