Eye On The Aberrant
Nothing is as it seems. Everything you think you believe is probably false. Reality is something we are taught by the society we were born into.
Balam; Demon King With Three Heads
The old magicians described Balam as a demon that "appears with a serpent's tail, flaming eyes, and three heads: a bull, a man, and a ram. He rides a bear and carries a goshawk." It is said he has flaming eyes and the tail of a serpent. He carries a hawk on his fist and rides the back of a large bear. Sometimes Balam appears as a naked monster riding a bear. One description said Balam wears a royal crown with two horns projecting from it. His face appears as a goat with a long scraggly beard. He shows long fingers and toes with sharp pointed nails.

Hitler; The Most Abhorrent Name
Since World War II, the very name of Adolf Hitler stirs revulsion in the hearts of every person who lived through that period of dark history. While Adolf was a popular first name for boys prior to the war, it is rarely used today. France and Norway went so far as to outlaw the name. Because he inflamed Germany into launching one of the most destructive wars in history, Hitler is remembered as the most evil person who ever lived. The Nazi regime under his leadership brought about the genocide of an estimated 5.5 million Jews and millions of other nationalities including Romanians and Poles. Hitler and his followers saw these people as racially inferior. The German army also slaughtered an estimated 19.3 million civilians and prisoners of war, plus an estimated 29 million soldiers.

The Bloomberg Candidacy
It has been impossible to avoid the media excitement over the announcement that American billionaire Michael Bloomberg is jumping into the 2020 presidential race as a Democratic candidate. Bloomberg, a long-time popular mayor of New York, co-founder, CEO and owner of Bloomberg L.P., and strong advocate for environmental issues to battle global warming, is thus establishing a strong candidacy designed to defeat the Democratic Party candidates that have been battling for a chance to represent their party in a race against Donald Trump one year from now.

How Scientists Got Climate Change So Wrong
By Eugene Linden – New York Times
Had a scientist in the early 1990s suggested that within 25 years a single heat wave would measurably raise sea levels, at an estimated two one-hundredths of an inch, bake the Arctic and produce Sahara-like temperatures in Paris and Berlin, the prediction would have been dismissed as alarmist. But many worst-case scenarios from that time are now realities.

Cain And Abel; Did They Exist?
The Bible, among the oldest surviving documents in existence, is regarded as a historical record albeit twisted by religious doctrine. Thus the story of Cain and Abel, allegedly the first sons of Adam and Eve, need to be examined with some care. The story is a record of the first recorded murder in human history. As most people know, the two brothers were farmers of a different sort. Cain grew crops while Abel raised sheep and other domestic animals. They were expected to make sacrificial offerings to the god that called itself Elohim. This god reportedly praised Abel who killed animals and put their blood on an alter. But the god rebuked Cain because his offerings came from the fields and were bloodless. Thus out of jealousy, Cain, the kind vegetable farmer, killed his brother the sheep farmer.

Monowai - A Steamship Of Many Faces
The best known of the steamships operating under the name Monowai was the second of two vessels for the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand from 1925 until it was scrapped in 1960. The vessels were named for an island off New Zealand. She served the British Admiralty as a troop carrier during the war. The ship served on her old run between New Zealand and Australia until its retirement in 1960. She was sold for scrap to a Hong Kong breaking company.

Can There Be Death Without Pain?
Death is something we all must face. It is something we don’t like to think about, and we rationalize away the thing we fear the most . . . having to suffer extreme pain while getting from the state of being alive to being dead. When I was young and in the prime of life, the mere thought of having to someday experience the pain and agony of dying was frightening. Sometimes I would experience going into a cold sweat just thinking about having to face it. But as I have aged, and parts of my body have started breaking down, the thought of dying doesn’t seem quite so bad.

Deadly New Superbug Unleashed
A new gene that apparently had its origins in India, called the New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase, or NDM-1 for short, is found to be attaching itself to existing bacteria and turning common infections into deadly killer diseases. According to an article recently published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal, the invaded bacteria turns into a superbug that appears resistant to almost all forms of antibiotics, including the most powerful class of carbapenems.That means once a person picks up this new strain of bacteria, there is no known cure. The disease will run its course, which probably will end in the death of the patient.

When the Lights Go Out
Pacific Gas & Electric chose to turn the power to my Santa Cruz County home in California at 8 p.m. I was suddenly forced to stop what I was doing and just go to bed. I realized the room night light was out, my electric clock was blank and the portable heater I use to keep the room comfortable was out as was the working air purification unit. The entire building we occupy was plunged into a dead silence. This happened on one of the shortest days of the year so I sat up in my room for the next 11 hours in total darkness. Who can sleep when all the natural sounds, lights and comforts of home are unexpectedly turned off? Imagine how unnerving it would be to find you in a situation like this without prior warning. I paced the floor using my flashlight on occasion to get my bearings until the sun began pushing back the darkness at about 7 a.m.

Monsanto In Our Sugar
The big Bayer conglomerate may seek to drop the Monsanto name after its $66 billion merger but the name Monsanto will probably never be forgotten. The company's production of Roundup week killer, laced with glyphosate, appears to continue being marketed but now under the Bayer name. This is a toxic week killer known to be lethal to amphibian life and found to cause miscarriages and premature births. This was especially true among the wives of local beet farmers. A recent French study found evidence that the Roundup Ready laced seeds are toxic to all mammals and may even be classified as a carcinogen.

The Trump Destruction of America
While the Republican controlled House and Senate has been making a lot of noise battling over the future of health insurance, immigration reform and “fake news,” the little man in the White House has been busy using the power of his office to quickly dismantle everything the American people have long enjoyed and held dear about the United States and its role as a leader of the free world.

Living On The Edge;
America’s Cockeyed Monetary Oil Standard
You can thank Henry Kissinger, the late President Richard M. Nixon and the economic advisors for the Nixon Administration for resetting America’s monetary standard and leading us into almost constant warfare in the Middle East. Kissinger led the nation into this wild plan to quit the former gold standard for establishing the value of the dollar, and replaced it with an "oil standard." Generally, the value of the American dollar is now based on the amount of oil the United States controls or has in reserve. It no longer has anything to do with the gold held in reserve at Fort Knox or under the Federal Reserve building in New York.

Covering The Earth With Trees
We have some good environmental news to report. It seems that Lockheed Martin teamed up with Aerial Forestation Inc. of Newton, Massachusetts a few years back to restore a fleet of decommissioned C-130 Hercules cargo planes for use in reforesting the world. It just awaits financial sponsors to be activated. The idea was dreamed up by former UK Royal Air Force pilot Jack Walters about 35 years ago. Walters envisioned using the C-130s, which were equipped to drop land mines, to do mass aerial plantings of trees instead.

Designer William McDonough Has Answers To Our Environmental Dilemma
Sometimes when we start tearing our hair in frustration over humanity’s apparent inability to stop its wasteful rape of the environment for personal profit, we discover that some researchers are working hard to solve these problems and turn it all around. Such a person is Designer and Architect William McDonough, creator of a design concept called cradle-to-cradle. In a book McDonough co-authored with German chemist Michael Braungart, Cradle-to-Cradle; Remaking the Way We Make Things, he calls for making products of parts that can be completely recycled or will decompose after their life cycle has expired.
The Brainwashing Of The Masses
Author and video producer Steven Jacobson said: "Television is the most powerful weapon of psychological warfare in history. The programming that we are constantly assaulted by throughout our lives conditions us. It programs us to a particular worldview. Now, we may consider it normal because we were born into this system of lies and deception. And because we were born into this situation and our parents were born into it and have suffered from it, we don’t know any better." Jacobson is the author of a book titled Mind Control In America. On its opening page he declares: "All the problems in America are the result of people being led to believe things that are not true."

About Our Freedom of the Press
The First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution is probably among the most important legal documents our forefathers gave us. It protects our freedoms to worship, speak out in public, peaceably assemble and for journalists, it protects our freedoms to gather information and publish it for public inspection. This Amendment was considered so important it specifically prevents Congress from making any law that overturns this freedom. It was the first Constitutional Amendment adopted by the states and one of the ten amendments that appear in the Bill of Rights. Yet since he has been in office, President Trump has publicly attacked the press and the Moslem religion. He appears to have forgotten his oath of office which demands that the president “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

The Secret American Vision For World Domination
Not long ago we read a frightening report about a long-range plan by United States (mostly Republican neoconservative leadership), dating back to the Reagan Administration and the collapse of the Soviet Union, that would force a reshaping of the world into the America's image. There was an organization called Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, that was formed just after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This organization promoted the idea that it was time for America to take "preemptive action" to enforce U. S. interests abroad. Included in this plan was the removal of unfriendly governments so that the world can be changed as "favorable to American principles and interests."

Can Great Lakes States Trust Their Government
To Preserve The Lakes?
As fresh potable water has been growing scarce throughout the world, residents of the eight states surrounding the Great Lakes have gone to great lengths to preserve and protect this great natural resource. The lakes have proven their recreational and industrial value, have maintained a major fishing industry and have been a source of water for all of the great cities surrounding them, from Chicago east to Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo. Over the years . . . even before the great aquifers deep under the earth began going dry . . . farmers and big cities located in places far away from the lakes entertained thoughts of tapping into the lakes for commercial and industrial reasons.

The Corporate Plan: Keep Them Scared
Have you ever wonder why the stock market makes the U.S. economy look so healthy while so many Americans are struggling just to make ends meet? Have you also wondered why there has been no push to raise the minimum wage or why many skilled workers are still listed among the unemployed? Consider this: the corporate giants appear to like it this way.
World Wealth; A False Illusion
There is an implication via daily media reports that rising values on the world stock exchanges reflects a healthy and growing economy. The stock market numbers go up when world events suggest that the big corporations will be in a position to make more profit. When the opposite is true, the value of stock plunges. Television anchors faithfully report to us every day just what the stock markets are doing . . . as if that is news that we need to know. In truth, the only people that have an interest in the fluctuations on the stock exchanges are the wealthy individuals who invest their money in business. Most of us are struggling to earn enough money to feed our families with nothing left to think about investing in anything.

Remembering A False World As We Thought We Knew It
The bankruptcy filings by numerous large and familiar business places are only the tip of an iceberg that floats below the sea of chaos that now surrounds us. Fierce storms like Dorian are becoming the norm as the Earth warms and the polar ice goes into meltdown. As the realization strikes that our overcrowded and polluted world is allegedly running out of natural resources and that successful on-line corporations like Amazon are creating a home shopping phenomenon everything we once thought we knew is changing radically. Everything we once thought we could expect with our world is in a state of extreme change. Is there a solution?

The Star People Living Among Us
Among the interesting myths to be found among the esoteric writings is a story about "Star People," or aliens from other lives and other worlds choosing to visit this planet in human bodies. I find myself wondering if this isn't a reference to the arrival of the "elders" or the "old ones" as foretold by The Abba Father. For those who have not read the Abba Father dialogues on this site, he has explained that the old ones once lived among humanity as governors and supervisors . . . almost in the role of parents during the early stages of human evolution. Now that we have made a mess of the world, our environment, and are threatened with the possibility of going extinct, the Abba Father says the elders are returning to help us through a great transition. The story said we can identify these special people living among us because of certain interesting traits.

We Are Being Programmed For War
I don't know if you have noticed how we have been fed propaganda via our nightly television news programs about some evil guys or gangs somewhere in the world, that are plotting to destroy us by terrorist assaults or weapons of mass destruction. It reminds me of George Orwell's prophetic book "1984" in which the author envisions an overpopulated world where humans live in a tightly controlled environment. A major portion of the government control in the book involved an ongoing war with some unseen enemy. Big Brother constantly fed hate propaganda into the minds of the people against that enemy force. It was a way of uniting the people in a form of patriotism. The war also served to pump new energy into the economy.

The Insanity Of High Cost Education
The United States once held the distinction of having the best colleges and universities in the world. People came from all over to study here. That was once. It is no longer the case. This is now a nation that has been taken over by bankers and big money interests that have skillfully devalued the dollar, created an inflation that has grown faster than workers can earn money to live, and in the process, destroyed the great universities that once turned out great thinkers, educators and creative people capable of lighting the world stage. The bankers and big money interests have literally taken over the nation's colleges and universities and made a big business out of them.

Great Civilizations From Before Recorded Time
Regular readers know that I have been fascinated by the amazing number of anomalies being uncovered from deep in the earth and under the world’s oceans, many of them defying the historical record long cherished by contemporary historians and Bible scholars. The latest discoveries include satellite images that appear to define an ancient city, complete with massive buildings and 200-foot-tall pyramids, on the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. A group of French undersea archaeologists claim the ruins may prove to be older than the pyramids of Egypt. And in northern Brazil, in the Amazon jungle near the Bolivian border, aerial observers are finding emerging ruins of once great cities, complete with giant avenues, ditches and buildings all suggesting that an advanced civilization once existed in areas unexplored by modern man.
Cannabis; God’s Great Gift To Humanity
Largely because of the Internet, the circulation of health news is no longer controlled by the corporate-owned American media as it once was and news about the amazing health, social and other surprising benefits the cannabis plant offers is getting around. And this has caused a silent and spreading rebellion among the youth, who are voting for legalization of marijuana at the polls. But while 33 states, to date, have voted to legalize marijuana possession in some form, some only for medical use, the federal law remains unbroken and overshadowing state laws. Thus federal agents and many local law enforcement groups, still feeding on the financial gains under the guise of local "drug task force" squads, continue to harass growers, sellers and users of marijuana.

Transplant Phenomena Suggests Cellular Memory
Ever since doctors in Boston successfully transplanted a living human kidney in 1954, and Dr. Christian Bernard replaced a human heart in South Africa in 1967, there has been a boom in the business of organ transplants. While it is not the perfect solution to solving worn out body parts, the business of transplanting hearts, livers, kidneys, lungs, eyes and even fingers has become big business, with nearly one million successful cases worldwide. And as more and more patients recover from these surgical procedures, a strange thing has been happening. Some report having foreign memories, eerie new personal preferences and even unexplained emerging talents.

Similarity of Neuron and Galaxy Networks
Italian researchers Franco Vazza and Alberto Feletti have supported a thesis we have been proposing, that the Creator exists in all things and that we, as living creatures on this planet, are but a minute particle of the energy that is the Living God. In a paper recently published in Nautilus, Vazza, an astrophysicist at Radio Astronomy Institute, Bologna, and Feletti, a neuroscientist at NOCSAE Hospital, Universitaria di Modena, noted the “strange similarity” between Neurons and the Galaxy.

Arctic Release Of Methane Now At Deadly Levels
During the years when scientists were warning us about the "greenhouse effect" of carbon dioxide from the mass burning of carbon based fuels, it was also theorized that if the heating Earth caused the Arctic ice to melt there would also be a huge release of methane gas entrapped in the ice that would intensify the problem. The planet has continued to heat and alas, the worst scenario imaginable is now happening as both the Arctic and Antarctic ice is disappearing at an alarming rate. The methane which has been trapped in that ice and deep below the ocean for millions of years started to be released in October, 2013, at "a staggering rate" according to Arctic News. This has world scientists and researchers alarmed, but to date, many high U.S. government officials, including Donald Trump, are refusing to recognize a problem.

The latest discoveries include satellite images that appear to define an ancient city, complete with massive buildings and 200-foot-tall pyramids, on the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. A group of French undersea archaeologists claim the ruins may prove to be older than the pyramids of Egypt. And in northern Brazil, in the Amazon jungle near the Bolivian border, aerial observers are finding emerging ruins of once great cities, complete with giant avenues, ditches and buildings all suggesting that an advanced civilization once existed in areas unexplored by modern man.
Dealing With The Horrors Of A Dying Planet
Humans are animals, and in the animal kingdom, all creatures except perhaps the ostrich always respond dramatically to threats of danger. What is there in the human thought process that causes us to ignore or declare disbelief in threats so terrible they obviously threaten our lives, our life style and perhaps the extinction of us all? Notice how the debate over global warming, alias climate change, still goes on even as the world now suffers horrific storms, drought, summer heat and winter blizzards that not only compare to the worst weather events in history, but break all records. We debate the reality of this problem even as the mountain glaciers and polar ice caps melt and ocean water levels now threaten our coastal cities.

Living on Our Heating Planet
I am sitting in a shaded ground floor apartment in the heart of a California rain forest suffering from 91 degree heat on what should be a comfortable autumn afternoon. And I am thinking of our ugly future as I write these thoughts. While scientists are nearly united now in their belief that human activity over the last century has brought about this already deadly runaway heat we still have government leaders and corporate CEOs refusing to do anything about it. To do so would mean financial sacrifice that personal greed will not allow them to make.

Can Fukushima Radiation Be Stopped?
The earthquake and tsunami that destroyed three of five nuclear power plants at Fukushima, Japan, in 2011 has strayed from the news recently, but the disaster is still there and getting worse by the day, Japanese officials say. Scientists at the Daiichi nuclear plant this week declared a state of emergency after information gained from a robot revealed that one of the reactors has apparently burned its way through the bottom of the containment core and may be falling into the rock formations and possibly the ocean waters under the plant. The disaster is somewhat comparable to a runaway atomic bomb that no human manufactured device is capable of bringing under control.
Our Dying Oceans; Why Isn't This Big News?
The oceans of our world are massive. And the storms at sea can be powerful. In the days of sailing ships, vessels often remained at sea for months before making landfall. Sometimes they sailed off never to be seen or heard of again. This may be why humans have been careless about dumping waste products from not only our ships, but trash from industrial and city waste plus the agricultural run-off into our rivers into the open seas. We never dreamed that such activity could threaten the life that existed under those vast and seemingly endless waters. It has taken us a few hundred years, but we have succeeded in doing this very thing.

The Assault On Our Brains
The talk about getting psychiatric help for "disturbed" people like pedophiles, compulsive drug users and those choosing to shoot large numbers of people in public places may be pushing the American mindset into dangerous territory. If the field of psychology ever had any merit, it has been buried under contemporary drives by big business and certain branches of our government to control the minds of the masses and make a lot of money doing it.
Racing Toward Irreversible Destruction
Noted scientists have been warning us for years now that our consumption of carbon fuels is destroying our planet, our atmosphere and our water and leading all living creatures into an agonizing extinction. We have had time to fix our situation. We have found the resources to turn away the danger but big oil, big coal and big gas companies have been fighting efforts to utilize them every step of the way. Now the researchers are saying . . . the time to escape inevitable doom is running out.

Why We Aren't Using Safe Thorium Nuclear Energy
Back when nuclear researchers were learning how to capture and utilize the newly discovered source of energy developed for the first atomic bombs after World War II, there was a much (but unpublished) consternation among scientists over the use of thorium instead of plutonium for use in early energy breeder reactors. They recognized even then that there was extreme danger in working with uranium, the by-product of plutonium used in the manufacture of nuclear energy. While Thorium was recognized as a safer kind of energy source, it was rejected because they couldn't make bombs with the by-product.
America’s Radiated Drinking Water
It is bad enough that the people are fighting the big oil and gas companies to stop the fracking and construction of leaky pipelines to transport the toxic materials pumping from the earth. The media appears to have forgotten the story but the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown continues to spread deadly radiation around the Northern Hemisphere of the world. It is not only in the air we breathe, but now it is found in the ground and in the water we drink.
The Fresco Solution For Saving The World
Those who have heard his lectures or read about him know that the late Jacque Fresco was among the great thinkers of the modern world. He recently died at the age of 101. During his life Fresco experienced two world wars, the Great Depression, and the shift from a family/farm-oriented society to the industrial/electronic/capitalistic wilderness we struggle with today. A self-taught industrial and architectural designer, social and structural engineer, Fresco invented numerous devices for industrial and medical use, and he designed a futuristic plan to meet the world’s social needs in what he called The Venus Project. That project is still alive and worth considering as a solution to our problems of overpopulation, climate change and an alternative to the failing world systems of government.

The Musk Plan To Fix The World
Fifty-seven-year-old Elon Musk is a man with an amazing mission. He says his goals are to change the world and humanity, reduce global warming and consequently reduce the risk of human extinction. And if the stogy controls of government and corporate powers don’t block him, he just might succeed.

Radiation In the U.S. Is Scary
After watching a review of John Oliver’s warning about the effects of accumulated nuclear waste during a recent Sunday night television show, I decided to take a new look at Bob Nichol’s website Radiation This Week. Nichols report is technical but if you study it, it is scary as hell. He not only backs what Oliver had to say, he suggests that our situation is so bad we may have unwittingly allowed for our own looming extinction.
Its End of the World And Nobody Cares
In all of the years I have been working as a journalist this is a story I never thought I would ever live to write. It is a story about a looming end of our world that appears to be happening before our eyes, it may be out of control, and the U.S. media and general population is paying little attention. Or perhaps they are shuttering their eyes and minds out of fear.

The Terrible Genocide In The Americas
Throughout history humanity has committed extreme crimes against itself, often in the name of God, because of racism and sometimes just because of a quest for land. None of the atrocities committed even by Hitler can compare to the terrible crimes committed by the invading Europeans against the millions of natives of both North and South American tribes from about the time Columbus reached the Caribbean Islands until the end of the American-Indian wars in the Nineteenth Century.
The Great Social Security Heist
Back in the early 1960’s when my late wife and I first began employment and building a potential nest egg for our future, we were shocked to discover how much the government was deducting from our paychecks each week for Social Security. Even then we calculated that if we could take the money deducted from our weekly paychecks for Social Security and invest it in personal low risk bonds promising a steady interest return we had the potential of becoming quite wealthy if we remained on the job for the next 40 years. But we were forced to accept Social Security. Now our government is claiming that the Social Security account is running dry. But it should be valued at trillions. So what happened to the money?

Our Food is Laced With Deadly Dioxin
Among the long list of evil things getting into the human food chain is a common chemical by-product from industrial, commercial and residential burning that goes by a general term: dioxin. The name dioxin describes a group of hundreds of chemicals and various chemical compounds created from the burning of chlorine with hydrocarbons. It is produced in many industrial processes; most commonly in plastic plants, the bleaching process in pulp and paper mills, chemical and pesticide manufacturing, and waste incineration. Because these plants exist in almost every corner of the United States, and people still insist on burning trash at home, you can find dioxin in the soil, our water, our food, and worst of all, in our bodies.

Guiseppi Mazzini’s Dream Of A Unified World
The son of a university professor, Guiseppi Mazzini was a genius who entered university study at the age of 14 and graduated with a law degree. He worked as a poor man's lawyer but at the same time pursued a career in journalism and took an interest in politics. The link with Adam Weishaupt was a simple one. Mazzini's father was a member of Weishaupt's Illuminati and was active in the organization's movement that led to the French Revolution.

Albert Pike’s Blueprint For Fixing World Insanity
Most Americans don’t know the name Albert Pike. Yet this Nineteenth Century prodigy, who lived from 1809 to 1891, has probably had more of an impact on our contemporary way of life than anyone who has ever lived. Pike was a general in the Confederate army during the American Civil War. He was a lawyer, writer, newspaper publisher, member of the Scottish rite of the Freemasons, founder of the Ku Klux Klan and a follower of the occult Luciferian Cabbalism believed linked to the Rothschild-controlled European banking system that some say is known as the Illuminati. If the story is true, it was between 1859 and 1871 that he worked out the details of a military blue-print for three world wars to occur during the Twentieth Century. It is all designed to force us into a one-world government. This story is disputed by some historians who have called it a hoax.
What Really Happened To Abraham Lincoln?
From the Idaho Observer February 2004:
Ask anyone what they remember about the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and they will automatically recite the same response: "Abraham Lincoln was assassinated at the Ford Theatre by actor and southern sympathizer John Wilkes Boothe." This simplistic explanation for the assassination of this nation's sixteenth president is taught to American children in grade school. Unless we go out on our own to conduct further research into this significant event, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln is rarely if ever revisited by public instructors. The result is that for nearly 140 years people have lived their entire lives believing the John Wilkes Boothe-lone-nut theory for the assassination of President Lincoln.

The Big Republican Social Security Rip-off
With the ultra-conservative right-wing gang of Tea party Republicans and Donald Trump controlling things in Washington, there is a huge threat of totally dismantling Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and all of the other well-designed social programs designed to assist the poor and low-income people in the U.S. Few seniors are expecting any more financial help for the next few years. We are hearing the cry that if we want to eat, “go get a job!” Those words remind us of the infamous quote "Let them eat cake" allegedly muttered by French Princess Marie-Antoninette when told of the disgruntled populous. And we all know what happened in France and to Marie-Antoninette's head after that.

Have Humans Been Turned Into Radio Controlled Zombies?
Written December 2004
Worldwide shock and confusion over the re-election of George W. Bush for a second term in office has caused some people to wonder why so many people could have been so easily fooled. A friend sent me a link to a story by Bruce Conway titled “Stealth Cell Towers and the 2004 US Presidential Elections” that may explain this odd human behavior. Conway notes that the sudden construction of thousands of new and unobtrusive cell towers, many of them disguised as flag poles, occurred during the months prior to the election. He suggests that instead of serving cell phones, the towers were used for a national mind control that forced voters to believe in Bush even though common sense should have warned them otherwise.

The Hanford Nuclear Disaster Threat
Back in the 1940’s when allied and Axis forces were in a race to develop the atomic bomb, the United States went to great lengths to win that competition. We eventually heard about the Manhattan Project that went on secretly in the desert southwest but nothing was revealed for the next 20 years about the Hanford Project, a massive nuclear production complex operated along the Columbia River in Washington State.

The Trump Assault on the News
The Washington gang has been busy covering Mr. Trump’s serpentine activities with “false news” and even going so far as to publish a false Time Magazine cover after Time and other world magazines portrayed him as an incompetent clown. With major newspapers and television networks now owned by a handful of big corporations, and aided by the Trump counter attacks, the American people have grown naturally suspicious of the news they are receiving.
The Secret American Vision For World Domination
There was an organization called Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, that was formed just after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This organization promoted the idea that it was time for America to take "preemptive action" to enforce U. S. interests abroad. Included in this plan was the removal of unfriendly governments so that the world can be changed as "favorable to American principles and interests."

Mosquito Bites Getting Deadly
It was bad enough when mosquito bites in the U.S. began passing on the West Nile Virus about a decade ago. But with the warming temperatures, breeds of mosquitoes that carry other tropical type diseases are working north. One mosquito, known as Aedes aegypti, is threatening us with dengue fever and another painful virus known as chikungunya. Cases of dengue fever have been reported in Florida and Texas in recent years and the first cases of chikungunya were reported in Florida this year.

Leadership In America
America’s Endless Wars
When I was a child the world was at war. They called it World War II since it was the second great war to befall the world in the first half of the Twentieth Century. The United States emerged the great victor of that war. Everybody cheered. I remember whistles blowing, church bells ringing and people milling about on the streets. I think we dreamed that it was the end of war and since the United States was the winning nation, we could make sure there would never be another war like that again. We trusted our leadership in those days.
Determining Reality In An Unreal World
Most of us feel confident that we understand the reality of the world around us. We have some kind of place that we call home. We have our friends and family. We have our "things" that we use at home and on the job. We live in a society that has established rules and laws by which we behave so that we are accepted as a member of the herd. As humans, we have evolved with brains that allow us to question our existence, and for the philosophers among us, we also question what we perceive as real and what is created in our mind. And there are some folks who wonder if the entire scenario described above isn’t a fabrication of our mind, or perhaps even a computer generated story implanted in our heads to make us believe we are living the life we are experiencing.

Why The Destruction of our Forests Matters
The University of Queensland, Australia, recently conducted an international study that found that one-tenth of the wilderness on Earth has been destroyed in the last 20 years. A ten percent loss in trees and other green vegetation may not seem to be much, but a continued slashing of trees, coupled with attacks by infestation and disease brought on by global warming, is intensifying the looming crisis we are referring to as “climate change.” Humanity and trees have maintained an incredible symbiotic relationship for hundreds of thousands of years. The destruction of our forests is threatening this planet’s ability to sustain the delicate balance of nature that makes it possible for life to exist.

Converting CO2 into Clean Air & Energy
There is some amazing news coming from University of Central Florida this winter. A researcher employed there has just discovered a way to use the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide into clean air and produce a new form of energy in the process. Dr. Fernando Uribe-Romo, assistant professor of chemistry at the Orlando based school has just published his findings in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A.

Living With Outdated Zoning And Building Codes
Governments adopted uniform building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical codes establishing the number of electrical plug outlets, the way plumbing, furnaces and even hot water heaters were installed and located. New housing developments soon lost their individuality and all the houses began looking alike. The term “cracker box” housing became a common expression. People couldn't erect a shed in the back yard to put their yard tools without getting a building permit and having their work inspected and approved by building inspectors. Now as the cost of homes, maintaining them, paying the taxes and insurance and living with a rising cost of living while people earn less and less….and the energy crisis rearing its ugly head, those city ordinances so right for the 1970's are out of date and no longer filling contemporary needs.

Great Chinese Philosopher Confucius
The teachings of Confucius, who lived about 500 years before Christ, have probably had more influence on the world than those of Christianity. It is said that all world religions and all governments are still influenced by the philosophy taught in his school and by his books. Like Jesus, Confucius never claimed personal divinity. Yet a form of a philosophical belief system called Confucianism grew from his work. Also like Jesus, Confucius was said to have been born into poverty, became a teacher of philosophy and principles of living, and had a band of followers, or disciples, that remained by his side.

The Black Pope And Jesuit Rule
Contemporary writings by William Garner and Sean Maclaren point to secret world government rule by the Jesuits, under a Black Pope, as a controlling force that has been operating for hundreds of years. Garner’s book, Who Really Owns Your Gold, and Maclaren’s sequel, The Black Pope and the Jesuit Militia Distort the History of the United States of America, describe what they believe has been a Jesuit controlled shadow government that has skillfully controlled kingdoms, dictatorships, democracies and religions throughout the European world and the Americas for centuries.

Do We Have A Third Eye?
Few people exist who have not heard something about “the third eye.” Mythological beings like Goliath, the giant slain by David’s sling, was said to have had only one eye in the middle of his forehead. Greek and Roman mythology includes stories of the cyclops, a race of primitive giants who had but one eye. Did they really exist? Those involved in spiritual and esoteric enlightenment refer to the third eye as an invisible eye that offers perception beyond ordinary sight. The Hindu paint a small mark on the forehead, between the eyebrows, symbolizing the Anja or chakra from which this special wisdom comes.

The Fight to Keep the Rothschilds Out of the US Banking System
Thomas Jefferson, the nation’s third President, understood the dangerous power of the European banking system. After elected to office he attempted to create a publicly-owned central bank designed to keep European monarchs and aristocrats out of the new nation’s affairs. But the Bank of England won the fight. In 1791 the Bank of the United States was founded with the Rothschilds as the primary owners.
A Creeping Enslavement of the People
There appears to have been a master plan underway to destroy access to knowledge and turn the masses of humanity into illiterate surfs to the bankers and corporate bosses who have seized even more control of the wealth. This shift from a time when Americans enjoyed a strong, union-driven middle class life style to the harsh living standards doled out today was a slow process that can be traced to historical events over the last 50 years.
Thomas Jefferson, the nation’s third President, understood the dangerous power of the European banking system. After elected to office he attempted to create a publicly-owned central bank designed to keep European monarchs and aristocrats out of the new nation’s affairs. But the Bank of England won the fight. In 1791 the Bank of the United States was founded with the Rothschilds as the primary owners.

Planet Crisis Is Coming On Us Faster Than Anyone Expected
When scientists first agreed that global warming and climate change was real and a looming crisis that needed to be dealt with, they offered early computer-model projections of 50 to 100 years before things got serious. More recent projections, however, based on improved computer systems and better data, shortened that timeline to 10 to 20 years. By around 2008 the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) warned that new projections found that we only have about four years, until 2012 to stop those deadly carbon emissions or those climate changes are going to create a hell on Earth. This latest report warns that a failure to act, and act decisively by world governments immediately, will create untold hardships for future generations that may be impossible to fix.
