Professor Happiness
Daniel Gilbert *85 explains why we seek satisfaction in all the wrong places
By Rachel Lieff Axelbank ’06
Published in the November 4, 2009, issue

Fifteen years ago, you’d have thought that Daniel Gilbert *85 would have been disconsolate. Daniel Gilbert certainly did.

In the mid-1990s, Gilbert experienced a confluence of endings. Both his mother and his mentor passed away. He and his wife got divorced. He and his best friend suffered a falling-out. His son left for college. One day, he found himself telling a friend over lunch, “If you had asked me a year ago how I’d feel if these things had happened, I would’ve gone, ‘God, I’d be devastated,’” he recounts. But, he continued, “I’m actually pretty OK.”

“Why do people make that mistake?” his friend wondered aloud.

Gilbert replied, “You know, that’s a good question.”

It was so good a question, in fact, that Gilbert has spent most of his time since then in pursuit of the answer. He hasn’t found it yet, he says, but his search has earned him a superstar status that has spilled over the walls of academia and into the mainstream. He has penned an award-winning New York Times best-seller, appeared on Comedy Central’s Colbert Report, recently begun a gig on PBS, and continued as “Professor Happiness” at Harvard, where he has taught since 1996.

In his lab and writings, Gilbert ponders the subject that is known, thanks largely to him, as affective forecasting — the how and why and error of human perceptions of time, value, reward, sorrow, and, yes, happiness. Just as we often recall the past as we’d like to remember it instead of as it was, so do we predict incorrectly what the future will be like, including our emotional responses to it. This is important, he says, because it influences our attempts at planning — and we do it again and again.

Employing a combination of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and humor, Gilbert lays out these theories and a lot more in his 2006 book, Stumbling on Happiness. For his efforts, he won the Royal Society Prize for Science Books, the paramount science-writing honor bestowed by the United Kingdom’s academy of science. Gilbert says clearly that he has not written a “how-to” manual on finding happiness. Rather, he writes, his work “describes what science has to tell us about how and how well the human brain can imagine its own future, and about how and how well it can predict which of those futures it will most enjoy.” And that, Gilbert says, is not well at all.

What’s responsible for our self-deception? According to Gilbert, blame imagination, because its forces and flaws distort our predictions and our recollections. Imagination works powerfully and quickly, he explains, but it tends to make us believe that the future we envision will be a lot like the present we are experiencing. And when we imagine an event in that future, he explains, we humans consistently overestimate the length and intensity of our emotional response to it. As he writes: “Teenagers get tattoos because they are confident that DEATH ROCKS will always be an appealing motto ...”

Reading Gilbert’s book, we learn that, upon buying a car, a person frets more over the new ride’s imperfections if the purchase contract includes a return period than if she is stuck with the vehicle, but nevertheless, most of us choose the escape clause. We find that “intense suffering triggers the very processes that eradicate it, while mild suffering does not,” which means you ultimately might get over your spouse’s infidelity but still be annoyed by the dishes he or she leaves in the sink (even though the infidelity hurts far more at first). We see how side-by-side comparisons can distort our decision-making — a fact understood by merchants who display an extremely expensive item alongside the moderate-priced item and the inexpensive one. Choosing among three options, the typical consumer is likely to pick the middle one; with only two options, he’d buy the cheaper one.

We learn that not much of anything — be it being jilted at the altar or securing an annual salary of $5 million, losing or triumphing in football — makes us as happy or as sad as we expect it to. Humans have a unique ability, Gilbert says, to readjust, recover, and ultimately synthesize happiness in the face of not getting what we thought we wanted.

To learn more, Gilbert and researchers in his lab invite people to “track your happiness” on an iPhone. After registering online at www.trackyourhappiness.org, participants answer periodic inquiries about what they’re doing and how they’re feeling. These reports provide data for the researchers and a “happiness report” for each participant. “The goal of the project is nothing less than understanding what it is that truly affects people’s happiness,” says Matt Killingsworth, one of Gilbert’s senior graduate students.

Gilbert has said that on an imaginary happiness scale of 0 to 100, humans tend to place themselves around the 75-point mark. Regardless of our baseline happiness “level,” a setback will drag us down the scale or some amazing stroke of luck bump us up, but only briefly — within a matter of months from the “life-changing” event, we’re pretty much right back where we started.

“Basically, the death of your entire family is the kind of event it takes to have a major impact on you for a very long time,” he says.

Can money buy happiness? Sort of. That is, a little more money can buy the poor a lot of happiness, but only a lot more money can buy the rich even a little happiness. Material wealth has, as Gilbert says, “very diminishing returns.” A far more reliable indicator of a person’s happiness is his or her wealth of personal relationships.

Gilbert’s own existence and joys confirm this.

Asked what makes him happy, he says, “See those little girls?” and indicates a pair of framed photographs of his granddaughters, positioned for constant visual access from his computer chair. But he goes on to explain that while both seasoned parents and parents-to-be will indicate their offspring (be they grown or but a twinkle in the eye) as their greatest source of joy, real-time measurements indicate that people are actually less happy while raising their children than they are before or afterward. “The only known symptom of empty-nest syndrome,” Gilbert writes, “is increased smiling” — a fact that applies to women even more than to men. Only when the children leave the house do people begin to regain the high satisfaction with married life that they had as newlyweds.

So, how can we predict whether a particular development will make us happy? The best method, Gilbert says, is to ask someone with experience. That should not be someone whose experience is long behind him, though — ask someone to whom it’s happening “right now.” For while we like to believe that we are special, the truth is that people’s emotional reactions to events are similar. We overestimate differences, and so we think that people are more varied than they actually are.

Gilbert does much of his thinking in an office on the 14th floor of a white marble monolith on the edge of Harvard’s main campus, where the requisite overflowing bookshelves are punctuated with curious tchotchkes: the picture of Richard Gere holding Gilbert’s book; the baseball autographed by a former Chicago Cub; a vase filled with small plastic GI figures; the plush, cartoonish doll of the father of psychotherapy (Gilbert: “When you’re a psychologist, people give you Freuds”). He will chitchat about his life and his work for hours, and then, chortling, he will tell you that his friends think he talks too much.

It is easy to conclude that Gilbert, by virtue of knowing all about happiness, is somehow above the dilemmas the rest of us face.

Not so, it seems.

“You can study gravity; you still fall down,” he points out. Nevertheless, his posture is the full embrace of a life he never expected to lead; he’s adamant that it was all a happy accident and might have gone just as well, or better, any number of other ways. To think otherwise, he says, is to fall prey to “the myth ... that there was some unique confluence of events and we were predestined and here we have arrived in just the right place.”

The early ’70s found Gilbert with a serious case of the hippies, having, by age 17, dropped out of high school, married a woman named Windflower, sired a son named Arlo, and begun pursuit of his dream to spend the rest of time hitchhiking around the country, playing and listening to music, reading philosophy, waging peace, and making love, man. But this compulsion eventually waned, and there to take its place were literary aspirations and a plan to enroll in a creative-writing course at the local community college.

The bus ride to the college was long, he says, and then the course was closed; loath to ride back without anything to show for it, he signed up for psychology. And he thought, “College is a lot more fun than high school.” He secured a GED, enrolled at the University of Colorado at Denver, emerged as valedictorian, and set about deciding among a stack of acceptance letters from top-tier Ph.D. programs in psychology.

“I picked Princeton for all the wrong reasons,” Gilbert says. These turned out to be not so bad after all — friendly fellow students and graduate housing that offered a place for young Arlo to play — and they ultimately led Gilbert right into the single bit of fate that he will say, with neither caveat nor irony, changed his life.

Upon visiting Princeton, once charmed by the nice dorms and cool people, Gilbert was told that he could train under a professor who was on leave at the time. He shrugged and signed up; come fall, he found himself sitting in the office of Edward “Ned” Jones, one of the most celebrated social psychologists of the 20th century and “the most amazing, wonderful, doting, brilliant psychologist I could have trained under.” Jones studied “attribution” — how people explain events and behaviors — and Gilbert was hooked.

“Every thought I think today has his fingerprints on it still,” Gilbert says. “Up until meeting Ned, I was wandering from one thing to another, and I was the beneficiary of a lot of good luck — instead of wandering into traffic, I wandered into Princeton. Ned showed me how to focus my talents ... how to think like a scientist, how to use the experimental method to answer the very questions I’d set out on a journey with my thumb to answer.

“His office wasn’t just another lucky place I stumbled into,” Gilbert says, “it was a place that made me somebody I would not have become had I not come across him.” Gilbert went on to receive the Porter Ogden Jacobus Fellowship — Princeton’s highest academic award for a graduate student — in 1985. Still, he says, “It’s not some attribute of me that uniquely steered me to psychology ... It was just a happy accident.”


After graduation and 11 years on the faculty at the University of Texas in Austin, Gilbert was lured to Harvard by a compelling academic offer and his wish for a fresh start following his slew of sad events, including the death of Jones in 1993. And so, seeking to learn why he’d remained buoyant, he shifted his academic focus from a study of how individuals explain events to the field that put him and his collaborator, University of Virginia psychology professor Tim Wilson, on the academic map.

Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman, an emeritus Princeton professor of psychology and economics, describes Gilbert and Wilson as the absolute authorities in affective forecasting. Kahneman explains that Gilbert’s theories can be considered “extreme” in that they tie happiness very solidly to in-the-moment experience, and therefore accord little weight to retrospective satisfaction.

Nick Epley, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and a former Harvard colleague, says that Gilbert’s chief contribution to psychology has been a timely elucidation of the mechanisms underlying our judgment and prediction biases. In doing so, Epley says, Gilbert has opened up a new domain of research in a way that has attracted loads of new talent.

In Epley’s view, a psychologist’s potential for impact lies in his or her ability to illuminate that which occurs in daily life but still eludes notice. “Most psychologists walk around with candles,” he says. “Dan walks around with a piece of the sun.”

Having brought his piece of the sun to bookshelves around the world (Stumbling on Happiness has been translated into 20 languages), Gilbert now is tackling the small screen. Sometime early in 2010 — as of press time, the exact date had yet to be determined — PBS will run a six-hour mini series titled This Emotional Life, featuring Gilbert as host. Over the miniseries’ three episodes, Gilbert explores social relationships, psychopathologies (such as fear, anxiety, and phobias, among others), and the science of happiness itself, interviewing scientists as well as laypeople.

For Gilbert, who rejoices in the writing process and relishes the agony of deciding between this word and that, filming a television miniseries is quite the tedious beast. He gets bored by saying a sentence 100 times when he knows it will appear on the screen once. But he also has learned how to relate to a video camera (“you have to look right into the camera’s eye and talk to it very intimately ... and it’s an inanimate object”), discovered a new kind of collaboration (“you don’t get your way”), and been enlightened as to his own unconscious physical habits (“I tend to tilt my head at the end of my sentences — but not anymore, I don’t!”).

Academia still represents his zone of choice, though, and he asks a student to wait for a few minutes so that he can give a visitor a proper tour of the work nest he has created. Queried about the fortune-telling Magic 8 Ball on his ­windowsill, he seizes it from its spot and examines it thought fully, but refuses to disclose the question he is posing silently.

Then, while knowing better than to speculate about his future, he rolls the ball over again and again until he gets the answer he wants, the answer that makes him happy.

Wake UP and THINK: Have You Still Not Found What You Are Looking For?

Have You Still Not Found What You Are Looking For?
By Matthew Delooze
19 August, 2009

Hello folks,

I’d like to mention something connected to my mate ‘Bono’ and his group U2. I remember reporting on the group when it launched the ‘ No line on the Horizon’ album at the BBC.

I have written many things on spiritual energy extraction in the past and this site has a few examples of my previous writings on the matter.

I have said previously that the Serpent Cult use ‘symbols’ and ‘sacred geometry’ as a middleman, a medium if you like, to conduct the spiritual energy that is created through human emotion at public events inside official buildings or at specially arranged concerts.

‘Pop/Rock festivals and concerts’ are a very good way of doing this and I have explained how it is done on many occasions.

Obviously it is hard to explain sometimes how the said symbolism and geometry is hidden in modern day structures. I have pointed out the Ferris wheel in the past and not surprisingly I was ridiculed for it and even today that sort of info inside the conspiracy ‘camps’, in the main, is politely ignored in the least and at the most laughed at by fat gurus and experts that claim to be enlightened.

It is pretty simple to understand that our emotions create energy isn’t it? You can feel emotional energy at parties and other events. Can’t you? You feel the ‘vibes’ don’t you? That is energy. It is a little harder to understand that our energy can actually empower other forces and it’s even harder to understand that esoteric symbolism and crafty geometry can be used to conduct our energy to a force that is not of this world. It is a force that knows about spiritual energy and it knows how it is created it and how to harness it. This force has not only knows how to do those things it has made you so dumbed down that you don’t even know who you really are. How can I explain to people who do not know who they really are as to what they are really doing?

Before I go on to the example I want to show you today I will repeat a brief extract from a previous article about spiritual energy extraction through human emotions and symbolism. (Those that know my stuff obviously don’t need to read it) ...

I need to explain how an innocent looking festival on a five-sense level can also be used as an extractor of ‘spiritual energy’ on a spiritual level. It’s pretty simple really. When we feel ‘emotion’ as a human being we also create an ‘invisible energy’. The more emotional we feel the more powerful the energy becomes. If two people feel the same emotionally then the amount of invisible spiritual energy being created is doubled, so on and so forth, so you can imagine the amount of spiritual energy, so to speak, that ‘thousands’ of people can create, especially if they can be forced to feel ‘emotional’ about the same thing at the same time. So in my opinion ‘emotions create energy’. It is as simple as that.

Imagine if an inter-dimensional force and a few of their agents on Earth knew about the energy that is created through human emotions and knew how to harness it and use it. What would they do? They would harness and use it wouldn’t they? They would need to attract large amounts of people to one area and raise the collective emotional state of the crowd and get the energy ‘directed’ towards them to collect it, a sort of feeding an ego sort of situation, on a massive scale. The malevolent entities cannot put themselves on stage ‘in their true image’ because the crowd wouldn’t get emotional about their own enslaver, so they would have to recruit and use attractive agents (middlemen/celebrities) to draw in a crowd and raise collective emotions for them. Yes?

Agents for dark forces use hyped and talented artists to do this for them but this action is not enough on its own because all the emotional respect (spiritual energy) created at the event would simply go to the artist and not to the dark forces promoting the artists. Yes? So the Serpent has very crafty displayed its own symbolism on stage and/or the festival locations are very symbolic in themselves (or both!). This enables them to attract the spiritual energy towards the symbolism itself and not just the performing artists. The use of symbolism is very important because if the audience at a festival are made to feel emotional about the performer on stage then they also feel emotion, subconsciously, for the symbolism being displayed at the same time. I suppose the situation is on a par with a surge of electricity being sent through the stage, not only would the performers get a shock so would all the other items that conduct electricity. In other words ‘spiritual energy’ can feed the creators of the symbolism on show. The real creators of the symbolism on show are entities in other dimensions; hence ‘they’ receive the spiritual energy created at festivals that bear their symbolism.

The Serpent also uses ambiguous symbolic lyrics hidden in the songs that were allegedly penned and created by celebrity bands to get the crowd to collectively sing ambiguous words (Praise to the Gods), this also creates spiritual energy. (As mentioned in the beside the seaside article) For example Glastonbury uses a Pyramid Stage, so when the crowd feel emotion for artists at Glastonbury they will also give spiritual energy to symbolism (Pyramid etc) being displayed, simply because ‘emotional respect’ for the artist will also create ‘spiritual energy’ for the symbolism and this energy empowers things in a totally different way than you may imagine.

Emotional respect = Spiritual energy.

When you show emotional respect to something you are literally giving your spiritual powers to it. All those attending a rock concert are innocently giving their spiritual energies, not only to their idols on stage, but to the symbolism being displayed too.(Source)

OK. So let me show you an example of symbolism being used but hidden right under the noses of the public. This symbolism goes slightly deeper than the Ferris wheel so I am probably wasting my time to the majority of folks. That said this symbolism is still ‘easy to see’ if you really want to see it.

‘The Claw’ has been well publicized. It is a massive apparatus that is being used literally ‘all around the world’ by U2. Indeed there is not just one ‘Claw’ there are three of them! The Claw is currently in London as I write this article with over 80,000 braindead human beings a night worshipping it.

I have no doubts at all that this Claw is just another painted wagon of worship. I have no doubt at all that it is not only a medium for spiritual energy it is also a very important iconic ‘temple’ that is being used by the Serpent Cult for use in another worldwide SUN ritual. Indeed Matthew Delooze is claiming today that this concert apparatus is really a place of worship and that place of worship will be used by the Serpent Cult to receive the collective consent of the human race to rule over them.

Matthew Delooze says the U2 Claw is a symbolic Church of UTU (U2)

Hey that sounds really loopy doesn’t it? I am claiming this modern day pop concert apparatus is covertly being placed around the world as a symbolic ‘temple’. What? Eh? Can you say that again Matthew Please....Certainly... I am claiming this modern day pop concert apparatus is covertly being placed around the world as a ‘temple’. What? Eh?

A heap of metal, used to hold concert equipment, is supposed to be a covert temple and it has been put in place because multidimensional beings want to extract energy created by human beings and the human beings have to direct the energy in a place that symbolises the multi-dimensional beings? What utter bullshit I hear you say. Are you mad Delooze? Well maybe I am because I‘m the guy that also said Ferris wheels were really sun/benben monuments too wasn’t I? Ferris wheels are just a heap of meaningless metal too eh? OK then. Just like you have become a meaningless heap of braindead shite without knowing it then then eh? This claw is worth 20million quid in the matrix you worship what are you worth? 2 bob?

So yes, my little band of Ferris wheel fanatics, Matthew Delooze says today that the ‘Claw’ being used by U2 is nothing more than a covert Sun Temple dedicated to the SUN through the Sun God UTU. It is basically named as a church of UTU but that’s just another name for a sun temple.

I tried to get you researching this stuff when I mentioned U2 before at the BBC studio. The All Souls Church and the ‘Breathing’ statue ritual that took place a few months back officially endorsed ‘The Church of U2’, but I guess I was talking out my arse then too?

So anyway, how does the Claw hold or carry esoteric symbolism I hear you ask. How can a heap of metal or three heaps of metal (there are 3 claws) represent Sun symbolism or indeed represent a Temple?

I’ll tell you that agents for the Serpent Cult, like the very very dodgy Bono, always make ‘official announcements’ about the true symbolism behind worldwide rituals. A good example of this is of course the announcement of Bob Geldof and LIVE 8 (Live 8 being a worldwide ritual to worship the Ogdoad as I have said many times.)

So please, friends, enemies and even those, I don't want to upset, simply because they don’t know which hole they like best, please don’t take my word, I'm the loony remember, for the official explanation as to the true esoteric symbolism behind the Claw. Take the words of my mate Bono himself.

"The Claw" is built, rehearsals have started, and in just a couple days, the first cast of thousands will show up in Barcelona to bear witness in the Church of U2. In an interview for Barcelona TV this week, Bono says, "Music is worship," and tells the reporters that the massive structure in the middle of the stadium was inspired by one of the world's most famous unfinished structures and one of Barcelona's biggest tourist attractions, La Sagrada Familia, designed by Gaudi
Marilyn Malone


Don't believe the official website about the Church of U2 or that the claw is based on a Temple eh? Well listen to Bono officially slip it out then Please listen around 1min 10secs in to this video.


So there you are folks it is Bono himself, a god to millions, that claims the Claw is symbolically based on Sagrada Familia and better than that folks… ‘I agree with him’. What is this world coming to when Matthew Delooze is agreeing with a puppet member of the Serpent Cult like Bono? I must be a dis-informer eh? I must be ready to help bring down the ‘powerful’ truth movements eh? (don’t tell them they are really so pathetically weak they couldn’t blow a match out though, they wouldn’t be able to take it). I better be careful eh or silly gurus full of vanity and ego may threaten me with the police.

Or maybe I simply agree with Bono because he is indeed, on this occasion, openly telling the truth. He is making an announcement that the Claw is a symbolic sun temple. It is just that no one really listens to him when he talks, because he plays the role of the ecentric church going nut, and people only want to worship him at concerts really. That is because they are programmed to do just that.

So why does Bono go to all the expense of creating three Claws and then go to all the efforts of announcing that these claws are indeed built based on symbolic temples? Do you think he likes to be classed as mad? No he doesn’t and neither do I when I do the same.

BUT I tell you again now that the Claw represents a Sun Temple.

Now then let me also tell you now that this building, Sagrada Familia, is an illuminati built modern day 'Rosslyn Chapel' and it is not even going to be finished until 2026. It is adorned with Sun Symbolism. There are already millions of people that visit the temple. Therefore this 'U2' claw carrying world tour is on a par with carrying around Rosslyn Chapel and plonking it down in symbolic venues and areas and having a Sun Worship Service from it. Can you understand that?

Also if the sacred geometry used in the Claw is the same as the Sagrada Familia, as Bono says it is (announced it) then surely Bono is openly telling all the folks that come to the concerts around the world that the are indeed coming to the Church of UTU? Obviously Bono officially states it is the ‘Church of U2’. I certainly believe the Claw is another version of the Sagrada Familia too and I believe the Claw is representative for it at concerts through the geometry used in the official temple’s ‘façade’.

Many people have thought and indeed said that Bono claims to be a ‘little far fetched’ when he says the Claw is representative of the Sagrada Familia but I tell you the truth when I say Bono is being perfectly honest on that matter. He simply has to be for the rituals to be endorsed and please don’t think because you are blind that others in this world are also blind. Bono has been told that the Claw is really a Temple by high rankers in the Serpent Cult. I don’t think Bono has been told the full story but he sure knows the basics that you will never see in a million years. The reason people like Bush and Bono and Geldof come on your screens looking so cock sure of themselves is because they know you are so hypnotised that you will never see what is going on.

They unlike the majority of the human race don’t walk around with the mental and spiritual awareness of a salted peanut. Their awareness has been raised slightly so they at least realise you have the brains of a salted peanut and they are at least 'in' a clique that knows the bigger picture. They by no means know the bigger picture themselves but they take satisfaction in the massive wealth they receive and the knowledge they are ‘in’ with the force that does know the bigger picture.

So all the spaced out ‘concert experts’ out there please don’t laugh a Bono’s claim because your spiritual future depends on it. But the way things are I’d shave your head and await the arrival of the saltcellar.

It is hard to see in a dumbed down state that the claw geometry and the symbolism being displayed on the claw matches the Sagrada Familia. indeed would you believe me if i said U2 claw will display occult imagery high in the air at concerts similar to the symbolism on display at the Sagrada Familia? Let me tell you something you do not know and I do, very important rituals are carried out whilst 'people or symbolism are raised from the ground'. (Like Jesus on the Cross) Things that are above ground level can receive free flowing energy that has many times the power of ground level energy. Bono says it in his video as well so laugh at both of us if you want because not only is Bono telling you the truth, about what the Claw really is, I am also telling you all that going along with such things will enslave you in this world for eternity. You will have plenty of time to laugh at that too. Well won’t you peanut head? Ha Ha Ha ho ho ho.

Any symbolism can be 'raised' on the Claw and the crowds (see pic above one) will worship it. The Claw is simply a facade for a sun temple.

Bono also goes to great lengths to tell the world he is religious (sun worshipper). This is no coincidence. He is an official agent for the Serpent Cult and therefore he has to say it out loud just like all other phonies working for the same cult do, just like, Royalty, Presidents, Military, and Politicians do. They all pledge allegiance to the Serpent, an alien force, through Sun worship (religion).

OK. Can you begin to see that the Serpent Cult use many ways to get the public to covertly worship things to extract energy. It is far easier to point out the symbolic pyramid stage at Glastonbury than to show you the more complex trickery that will be used today, like the Claw.

U2 (UT2) and the Claw (Temple) may seem an extreme way of doing things but it isn’t when you think about it. So think!

It’s the easiest way of doing things because the public haven’t a clue what is going on. 99% of the U2 audience is hyper, the energy levels are massive. The Serpent Cult has literally created a symbolic portable temple that will indeed receive massive emotional and spiritual acceptance all around the world indeed it is a '360 degree tour with no bloody line on the horizon' too.

It's slightly deep but its not the deep it cannot be seen. It’s a massive con but it’s a very successful con with the human race not having a bloody idea what is really going on. The intelligence being shown by the Serpent Cult is way beyond the dumbed down vision of the human race. Like i have said in the past they are on the latest white knuckle roller coaster and you are on the baby swings. I don't say that to patronise you I only tell the truth. If you want to stay on the most haunted TV show level of awareness thats fine with me.

Indeed even when the public are told about such things, like now, they will do absolutely bugger all about it because it sounds so ridiculous in the first place. Your programming will render you incapable of reacting to the scam that I am pointing out. Indeed your programming will tell you i'm simply OTT. I'm not OTT I'm simply telling you a tale of what is happening as I see it.

Indeed even if you did believe what I am saying you will not admit it. Don’t worry about that I forgive you, I don’t mind. I am used to it now and I know what salted peanut mentality thinks like because I was the same for 40 years. I'm was on a par spiritually with a salted peanut too for 40 years. Maybe I'm only a dry roasted nut even now eh? I have suffered for many years and my mind and body are tested on many levels every day but i tell you the truth the Claw is a symbolic Sun Temple.

The greatest deceivers are at work, but as I said before, what is an intelligence (the human race) that is on a par with a salted peanut going to do about it apart from allow it to happen?

Again you would be too embarrassed to mention this thing to anyone wouldn’t you? It’s too silly to believe isn’t it? Maybe I should sell you this information as a $100 PDF eh? You’d believe it then eh? Maybe I should ask for thousands of pounds a month in subscriptions instead eh? You’d believe it then eh?

Because I do not con you or rob you it is better not to believe me eh?

I mean come on you people are not daft are you. Your ego won’t let you think out of the box unless a proper guru or professor sells you a story will it? A daft tale from someone that wants nothing from you is hard for your programmed mind to accept isn't it? I'm suppossed to be dressed in robes and tinsel and demand extortionate amounts of money from you just to get you to believe me have I? Yes? "Oh yes Matthew Delooze is a top quality researcher and spiritualist he charges £500 an hour for personal readings he must be genuine eh?"

Am I simply talking out of my arse or is it more likely that you are you simply thinking out of it?

I mean come on let’s back track and consider the facts shall we… U2 Breathing rituals being carried out at the All Souls Church and Breathing monuments that lead to a covert portable temple being built that is based on geometry and sun symbolism of a massive illuminati temple known as Sagrada Familia and this symbolic temple is then used in a world wide sun worship and spiritual surrender ritual that is attended by millions of people? It’s pure fantasy isn’t it? It is pure madness to point it out isn’t it? Or are the facts there for you to at least attempt you to think about it. Do you even want to think about it? I sometimes doubt you do. I really really do.

How can a heap of metal represent a sun temple?

Who the hell in their right mind would say that a monstrosity of a concert stage is really a symbolic temple? ‘Well Bono did for one’ so go and call him a crude loony before you do me eh? Because believe me he is being very deceptively crude and insulting and he is taking your spirit from you to suck on for eternity but he is telling the truth.

I said it as well, the claw is a symbolic temple, and I tell you the truth, the relevant paragraph above is 100% true. U2 have done all those things right under your noses but the hypnotised muppets that think they are free simply join in the ritual. The rest of you stay stum because you are programmed to do so therefore the ritual taking place is globally accepted and endorsed. That is why the Serpent Cult grooms ‘mega stars’ and has created a moronic brain dead human race to match. This is so things like this can happen.

Wake the hell up and think for once. You have forgotten how to think. You can’t buy a book or a DVD on how to think for yourself. Your ability to think for yourself has been given away by you. You gave it away. You give it away even more when you rely on gurus to think for you. It is time to get that thinking ability back.

Anyway. Can you see that the Serpent Cult can 'possibly' hide symbolism right in our faces yet still keep it under the ranges of our natural intuition? Even the information I provide you with today is only scratching through the top few layers of the many layers of deception that the human race is being subjected too? I only mentioned this thing today because I know some of you will understand what I am saying now but that is only because we have stepped on and stepped over a few stepping stones over the last couple of years. There are many you still need to step on but if you don't want to step on them then don't, but tell yourself that you don't because you are kidding yourself that you do.

I couldn’t have just come out with this sort of information today without going through the Glastonbury stuff and the Live 8 stuff, the Ferris wheel stuff and the London bombings stuff previously. I will be deemed mad for coming out with it today. I had to tell you that stuff to even attempt to start showing you this stuff. Can you understand that? I’m not here for the good of my health tha knows and my health is falling fast. You have had cutting edge information from me for a few years now and you are welcome to it. But some of that info is trivia compared to what you need to grasp in the future. I'm not patronising you I'm telling you as it is.

I hope I have got the intended message through to you today I hope you can see how the Serpent Cult are going to operate through this type of thing in the next few years. These sorts of tactics are going to increase. I will not be here to keep telling you about them you need to look for yourself.

I can only suggest again to you today that The Claw is indeed a symbolic temple and I can ask you to try to take in the idea that carrying this Claw around the world is on a par with carrying Rosslyn Chapel around the world and everyone is cheering and screaming inside it.

Ladies and Gentlemen. The Claw is also on a par with the Royal Carriages you see in Silver/Gold jubilees’ or the ancient Heb Sed rituals (as the folks atending my talks know about as do readers of the stars are falling). There is no difference whatsoever. The U2 concerts are a global ‘divine right of Utu to rule ritual’ in which the Sun God (Through UTU) is declaring the right to rule from a sun temple (The Claw/Sagrada Familia) Rock Gods like Bono (UTU) is the symbolic ‘Pied Piper’. The 'punters' are the acceptence of the human race to make it come to pass.

The same scam goes on and on and gets more important as 2012 arrives but we haven’t even started seeing the symbolism being used and let’s face it even when blatant in your face symbolism is used (Live 8 and Glastonbury) and pointed out it is ridiculed and ignored anyway. How can I show you symbolism that is at least 'Ten Levels' higher than the claw if you can’t even see a pyramid at Glastonbury? The Serpent Cult has the means to put on global events and hide the symbolism very deeply inside them. Again the Claw symbolism is only just below the surface. T

Indeed how much money has been spent creating the 3 Claws? £60million? Doesn’t this man Bono claim to care of starving people in Africa? £60 million pounds on stages alone tells me that he and his cronies, the Serpent Cult, put massive amounts of money in to securing the enslavement of the human race, not helping death and starvation in Africa.

Bono and Geldof for that matter have never really cared about starving people in Africa it is all bullshit and hype. They are there to get the moronic public to carry out ritual that’s all. But please don’t tell their fans because they won’t believe you. The same scenario applies to greedy fat robbing conspiracy theorists who claim to be awakening their followers but are simply matrix money men with matrix minds.

I have said enough but the other strange thing about this matter is the fact that Bono (UTU) is going to leave the ‘3 claws’ somewhere in this world, after the current worldwide UTU worship tour is over, 'as a permanent fixture'.

Wake Up!

The Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America

Don't let people blow smoke up your ass and tell you shit like "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Think for yourself. Feel for yourself. I believe in positive energy but you need to know what you're thinking and feeling, and WHY before you put any kind of twist on your thinking! Don't be a Pollyanna in a phantasmagoria world! Otherwise, evil will get you.

Barbara Ehrenreich: The Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America
By Emily Wilson, AlterNet
October 11, 2009
http://www.alternet.org/story/143187/

When Barbara Ehrenreich went to be treated for breast cancer, she was exhorted to think positively; and when she expressed feelings of fear and anger, she was chided for being negative.

Ehrenreich, the author of 16 books, including Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch, which examine the blue- and white-collar job markets, took on what she sees as an epidemic of positive thinking in her new book: Bright-Sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America.

Positive thinking is different, she says, from being cheerful or good-natured -- it's believing that the world is shaped by our wants and desires and that by focusing on the good, the bad ceases to exist.

Ehrenreich believes this has permeated our culture and that the refusal to acknowledge that bad things could happen is in some way responsible for the current financial crisis.

In her new book, Ehrenreich examines how the positive-thinking movement was started by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, and an amateur metaphysician named Phineas Parkhurst Quimby in response to Calvinism; how being positive became mandatory in corporate culture; and how she thinks prosperity preachers, such as Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church in Houston encouraged a culture of debt by telling their congregations that God wants them to have a big house and a nice car.

Emily Wilson: At the beginning of the book, you talk about going to be treated for breast cancer and being told to think positively. Was that what started you thinking about this?

Barbara Ehrenreich: That was my first exposure to positive thinking as an ideology. I was just astounded and dismayed by it. Here I was in a real crisis in my life, and people were trying to market pink ribbon teddy bears to me, and where I thought I would find sort of sisterly support on the Internet, I found instead the constant exhortations to be cheerful and to embrace my disease [she laughs].

EW: What is the difference between being told to try and stay upbeat and to have a good attitude and positive thinking?

BE: I think it's a slippery slope. Once you start on how you have to face your problem with a good attitude, they start looking for justifications for that, and it became you actually get better only if you are upbeat, only if you visualize your recovery and so on.

EW: Were the doctors telling you that?

BE: The doctors don't say much, but there are books they have written, or psychologists have, trying to get in on the breast cancer business, but to my chagrin I was often encountering it from fellow sufferers. Individual women have written books, too, like my favorite, The Gift of Cancer, and it seems to be pretty ubiquitous. I wasn't finding any dissent, and when I tried to dissent on a message board, I was told to run, not walk, to therapy.

EW: You write a lot about how positive thinking is in all aspects of life. Do you think this is the most insidious about it -- this idea of a disease being your fault?

BE: I look at it with a little bit of sociological detachment. It's a brilliant system of social control. When bad things happen to people you say, "Well, it's really your attitude that has to change."

The second big place where I encountered all this was in the kind of motivational services that are offered to laid-off white-collar workers, where every networking event or seminar you get the same message about how it's really your attitude that is going to determine if you're going to get a job and probably has something to do with why you lost that last one.

You take people who have been really victimized, and I use that word advisedly, with cancer and with lay-offs from unaccountable corporations. And then you tell them, "Well, you just have to change the way you think." And that's very clever.

EW: You write about how positive thinking started with Mary Baker Eddy and Phineas Quimby and how it was a response to Calvinism.

BE: I was actually kind of a fan of Quimby. Here was a blue-collar guy, basically a skilled craftsman living in Portland, Maine, and who had a sideline of being a metaphysician. What it's all about is he was rejecting a Calvinist worldview -- that people are damned, that we're wretched sinners and that we should spend all of our time examining our souls for sins and flaws.

And he said "Hey!" [She laughs.] He understood that that worldview was making people sick. It was kind of brilliant, I thought. He was part of a larger populist health movement arising against the regular medical profession.

EW: When does this idea of positive thinking change into being what you're saying it is now?

BE: It had ceased to be seen as a healing method, although that comes back. By the time I encounter it, breast cancer has come back into the health area. But in the early 20th century there was, for the first time, scientific medicine and the beginnings of some sorts of effective treatments. That kind of closed a door for the positive-thinking movement, which then increasingly in the 20th century addressed itself to prosperity and wealth and success.

EW: You write about the connection you see between positive thinking and the subprime-mortgage meltdown. Talk about that.

BE: I'm not saying this is the only thing that caused the financial crash. You can't rule out greed and the exceeding rapid nature of transactions and globalization and all that, but we had a culture that by the mid '00s was totally encouraging debt, the assumption of reckless levels of debt.

We often blamed the victim, the rather low-paid person who wound up with a subprime mortgage, but they were even hearing it from their preachers if they went to one of these megachurch, positive-thinking preachers who said God wants you to have a larger house.

Maybe you were never able to get any credit because of your race or your income, but you could be blessed suddenly! If someone offers you a mortgage that has no down payment and no proof of income, that's God coming down and saying, "Go get that house I wanted you to have."

Far worse, and on a far larger scale, was the role of this ideology in the corporations and in the finance industry.

I have traced how positive thinking became the corporate culture in America. It was mandatory to be positive.

So you had companies who would literally fire people for being negative, negative in the sense of maybe raising too many questions, maybe expressing a doubt.

One example is the man who was the head of the real estate division of Lehman Bros. in 2006 and told his CEO that he thought the whole housing thing was a bubble and they should start getting out, and he was fired for that.

So we had a culture of complete denial at all levels of the possibility that bad things could happen and maybe God doesn't want you to get rich.

EW: You mention how "Joe the Plumber" came out against the idea of Barack Obama raising taxes on people making over $250,000 because he said he was going to buy his plumbing business and be in that category himself, but in reality that wasn't likely to happen. Why do you bring that up?

BE: I'm saying this is an ideology that takes away all the indignation there might be about extreme economic polarization.

If you think you're going to be rich someday, why would you be resentful of million-dollar bonuses or $10 million CEO salaries, you know? You're going to be there, so it would be against your own self-interest to stand up for your class interests.

EW: You write that the alternative to positive thinking isn't despair. What do you see as the alternative?

BE: How about a little realism? How about not seeing the world so totally colored by our own wishes and emotions? For the positive thinker, that means everything looks rosy and everything is going to be all right no matter what, so you have to block out the little warning signs.

For the very depressed person, you're just convinced that everything is going to be miserable, that you're not going to enjoy anything you undertake, that you're going to fail at everything.

There, too, you're just projecting things. It's extremely hard to "see things as they are." It's a project -- we have to consult other people, we get other views, we sometimes have to question other people's views, but that's the only way to proceed, and that's how our species has survived as long as it has.

EW: Do you think the recession is gong to be an antidote to this?

BE: If I have anything to say about it [laughs]. It's crazy to me we haven't had an apology from Joel Osteen, America's most high-profile positive preacher, for this.

They should have said, "I'm sorry about the subprimes." We haven't had anybody coming forward from the corporate culture and saying, "Yeah, we kept our heads in the sand because it was so much more comfortable."

EW: Anything else you want to say?

BE: You could say, "Well, but it feels nice to be positive. I do all this work on myself and become more positive, and I feel better." And I say, "You might feel better if you stopped doing all that work on yourself."

This is a burden people take on. Just put that aside. Don't fuss all the time about your mood and your attitude. Try to deal with the world itself.

One of the major sources of misery in the world is poverty. We can do one of two things. We can tell poor people they need to change their attitudes, and there's a whole industry of that kind of thing -- motivational speakers that tell people to get over their bad attitudes towards wealth so it will just come to them.

Or we can say, "What's the cause of this? How are we going to get together and do something about it?" And I come down on that side.

The War Against Free Thought

The War Against Free Thought
By: Peter Chamberlin
September 28, 2009

The war against our minds has many dark levels, all of which attempt to hide truth which is not sanctioned by the police state, replacing it with a new fabricated “official version” of events. The state/corporate controlled media informs us of what we are to think, while multiple forms of coercion, bribery and intimidation are used to reinforce the government’s ideas and convince people to accept them as their own.

Each political protest that attempts to open people’s eyes to the world of untruths which constantly inundates us, exposes the silent majority to more and more of the police state tactics that the ruling elite has gathered together, to use as it wages war against the American public by less than deadly means. In addition to rubber bullets and flash grenades, the police state brought-out acoustic weapons to herd protestors at the recent G20 Summit in Pittsburgh.

Electromagnetic weapons were used by the Honduran military on Pres. Zelaya, who is holed-up in the Brazilian Embassy.

Pain rays have been used in Iraq (witnesses report that other more exotic lethal weapons were used there, some of which could allegedly melt human flesh, even large vehicles).

These weapons are just some of the known weapons at the tip of the iceberg of electromagnetic weaponry, ranging from the near-lethal, to those capable of causing mass death. All of these weapons were developed by the military-industrial complex for crowd control. This says nothing about the even more exotic weapons that have been kept hidden and the next class of electromagnetic weaponry, another level higher in magnitude, intended for use over broad areas, perhaps even hemispheric in reach.

The threat from such massive weaponry is so great that the EU has called for their regulation. In October 2000, Congressman Denis J. Kucinich introduced in the House of Representatives a bill, calling for a ban of space based weapons.

In this bill, the definition of a weapons system included:

“any other unacknowledged or as yet undeveloped means inflicting death or injury on, or damaging or destroying, a person (or the biological life, bodily health, mental health, or physical and economic well-being of a person)… through the use of land-based, sea- based, or space-based systems using radiation, electromagnetic, psychotronic, sonic, laser, or other energies directed at individual persons or targeted populations for the purpose of information war, mood management, or mind control of such persons or populations“(15).

On a personal and more probable level, since, hopefully, most of us won’t be directly attacked by the police state:

There is the standard taser, the long-range taser, the multi-shot taser and the really long-range taser.

My point in all of these examples is to highlight just how much research has actually gone into giving both the military and law enforcement a whole new range of weaponry, to create an entirely new class of violent tactics to use in enforcing crowd control and to persuade resisters to concede to the demands of authority. This has empowered government to openly wage war against its own population without violating international law or being charged with war crimes. Non-lethal weaponry allows the state to physically attack Americans without crossing the line to gunplay, thus side-stepping the Second Amendment and the issue of armed self-defense.

Government warfare against the population is structured much like regular warfare, meaning that enforcement operations are preceded by a period of softening-up the target, using psychological warfare tactics, fighting an informational war. The softening-up process has been underway in America since WWII. Just like in real warfare, the first line of offense is to find or plant sympathetic voices in the local media to serve as the primary instrument for the waging of this form of information warfare, where false ideas are introduced and truth about real intentions is discredited.

The government-controlled media pretends that there is no information war, as they work tirelessly to condition the people to accept the non-lethal warfare directed against us. Movies, TV shows, books and every conceivable method of mass-communication is used to downplay the criminal use of techniques designed for warfare against the civilian population.

The militarization of American police forces and their adaptation to the new low-level warfare techniques is spoon-fed to us, mixed-in with the usual themes of “terrorism” and other fear factors, hoping to intimidate any potential resistance movement before it even begins—stifling the idea itself. That’s the entire mission of the war against the people, in a nutshell, to stifle all unacceptable ideas within the mind itself, before trouble arises from them.

This is a war against all free minds, against all free thought. All thought must be of the government-approved variety. The idea is to replace all unacceptable thinking, acceptable falsehoods must replace reality-based thoughts.

By common consent, the entire “civilized” world operates on the American version of events. Countries that don’t accept the American version of events are ostracized. Going against the flow, as determined by American interests, is a certain formula for losing valuable foreign aid and inviting heat of the more aggressive kind. Individuals who refuse to accept the official version of events are branded as radicals and extremists. Extremist nations and individuals find themselves facing the full wrath of the police state whenever they contradict the official line, asgiven each night by the controlled press.

The universal psyop goes much deeper than debilitating weapons and the informational war, extending into the populace on a deeply personal subterranean level. The phenomenon called “mass-stalking” refers to psychological conditioning (brainwashing) aimed at specifically targeted individuals, even to entire families, using the time-tested methods.

The targets for this stalking are determined on the basis of intellectual testing and psychological profiling, which is conducted at all the elementary schools in the United States. With the results obtained by these tests, the herding process of American children begins. Much like the selective breeding process applied to animal husbandry, some of the human livestock will be separated for special care, while others will be separated from the herd and marked for disposal by the hired hands.

By comparing the results of these intelligence tests to standardized psychological tests, gifted individuals and those with psychological weaknesses are identified, in order to acquire test subjects for both reasons, to further development strategies or for more extensive manipulative techniques. The results of this testing follow each of the test subjects throughout their juvenile and adult years. The gifted are set on paths to develop their fullest potentials, while the others who are destined to be society’s outcasts, are set on pathways to lifetimes of pure hell.

The object of the mass-stalking is mass-experimentation in enforced behavior. Using the most bizarre and effective methods devised by government scientists, unsuspecting individuals are involuntarily subjected to systematic torture, to either cause, or take advantage of split-personality disorders. The purpose of this cruelty remains unclear—whether it is just another way to advance total state power, or simply a messy sadistic disposal system run by thugs who might otherwise work in slaughter houses, throwing live poultry against walls.

Beginning in their youth, these individual victims of these sadists are systematically subjected to the most disgusting forms of violent, sexual, chemical and electromagnetic torture, in order to destroy their young minds, by splitting and fragmenting them. Many of these victims were abducted and tortured, others subjected to traumatic sexual and violent events, intended to force susceptible young minds into retreating within themselves, where they would split-off the personality associated with the unacceptable memory and submerge them and the memories associated with them.

The mass-stalking program grew out of the mkultra experiments and the mass-testing based experimentation previously done on American troops for WWII and Korea, intended to separate and develop potential leaders and those who were deemed to be “inadequate soldiers.” This mass-conditioning program was the prototype for the nationwide program which was to follow.

The secret programs carried-out in hospitals, universities and military bases, which relied upon the crude electro-shock methods of deprogramming, were the forerunners for later, more sophisticated, electromagnetic based memory erasure and stimulation. Wireless transmission made the entire populace potential subjects for these tests.

These scientific programs for establishing government control over maverick free thinkers are very effective at preempting and suppressing potential resistance. For those who are not so easily swayed by all this impressive technology or the cruelty of the government’s trained technicians, we know that FEMA camps await to be filled by someone.

Diehard resisters face formidable technical obstacles to their efforts to wake-up the sleeping sheeple and reach-out to those who have just given-up. The task before us is to find ways to get past the personal defensive psychological barriers that have been erected to even listening to another opinion that contradicts their own. This has been the primary problem that we have faced in raising an effective resistance. We have not really had a chance to convince an open-minded audience that they believed in multiple lies. How do you persuade people that their own belief system is based on pure deception? How do you open people’s eyes and ears without first crossing pre-set boundaries of biases and preconceptions, inadvertently increasing their resistance to the truth?

The United States of America is a nation that has been heavily indoctrinated for over sixty years with false ideas about American benevolence in the world. To convince an “average Joe” that this, the core of all his other beliefs, is false, is a monumental task in itself. Yet, this is the central problem we face today, beyond the electronic/propaganda fence that has been erected to contain us. If we could break through this one barrier, then there might not be a need for street confrontations. All else might just fall in place.

Resistance begins and ends within the mind. The police state knows this. When they say euphemistically, that it is a war for “hearts and minds,” this is what they mean—a battle to kill-off ideas of resistance. The Master State is attempting to preempt future resistance by anticipating who will be in the resistance, so that their rebellious minds might be swept clean of such unacceptable thinking, before trouble comes from it.

Resistance to the idea of the all-powerful state is all that prevents the rising-up of the global dictatorship. Many plans are afoot now to bring this new order about. Full implementation of the plan will bring-about a massive planetary kill-off, where multiple animal and plant species will disappear, along with a billion or more human beings. Silence in the face of such inhuman plans is a deadly surrender of apocalyptic proportions.

Thinking for Yourself to Find Genuine Truth

Genuine Truth


There's a part in the book "1984" that's stuck in my mind that comes up and around regularly like brain cud. It's something I can't swallow, but I can't spit it out either, so round and round it goes in the background.

It's the part where O'Brien holds up four fingers and asks Winston how many fingers he's holding up. Winston says four. O'Brien asks him how many fingers it would be if the Party says it is five. Winston says it would still be four. What else could it be?

Winston is tortured until he says he sees five fingers, but that's not good enough. He is tortured again and drugged until he actually does see five fingers. That's when the torture stops.

That scene perfectly symbolizes the template of all evil. It defies every natural law of humanity and attempts to deny something that cannot be denied. It's not possible to control another sentient being, not in any true sense. All the techniques of torture and mind games and cruelty, the drugs and the sleep deprivation and all of the grotesque and deceitful mind shattering techniques that evil people engage in, are all phony cheats. They can get people to believe a lie, but it's still a lie. No lie changes to truth, no change ever takes place. Only the destruction of a sovereign entity's mind and body happens. That's nowhere near the same as actually achieving what they really want. They can't get what they really want. It's impossible.

O'Brien then goes on to tell Winston that they are going to purge him of his "insanity", meaning the truth, wipe his brain clean, meaning destroy his mind, and then give him the great gift of loving Big Brother, really loving him, meaning overwriting reality on his newly broken mind. And when that happens he will finally be sane and whole and right. Then they will kill him.

As if things weren't bad enough for Winston already, anyone with a grain of justice in their soul would think that Winston had given enough now. He'd given everything. Or rather, they'd taken everything there was to take. Why wouldn't that be enough? Why do they have to kill him?

The nature of the supposed crime was that Winston had once existed with thoughts in his head that were true. They were contrary to the Party which seriously threatened the party because the party is nothing but a lie. To think a thought that was not a Party thought was the one thing that could never be forgiven, ever. A contrary thought is taken as a murder attempt, because to reveal a lie is to kill it. The Party knows that everyone must believe the lie because if even one person doesn't believe it, the lie could be revealed and killed.

What the Party wants is impossible. It cannot ever actually happen that different individuals could live different life experiences that would bring them to think only lies, or rather, party thoughts. There is no possibility or probability of that happening naturally. It is contrary to nature, which means it's not optional. It just is. It applies whether it suits anybody or not.

The external and internal truth of every human being is that we are separate and independent from every other human being; experiencing all physical sensation through our own physical senses, thinking our own self generated thoughts, fully existing in our own self generated emotions; while synthesizing all that one knows and feels and understands and sees and touches and wonders about and hungers for and dreams of with the never ending turmoil of a teeming world of activity and discovery happening all around us every second of our lives; this is the first truth of existing. That's what being a human being is, it marks the beginning and the end of a life. It announces the legitimate arrival of a new sentient, independently functional human being. Your mind is you and every part of you is yours by definition. Nothing of what we are can ever belong to or be automatically obligated to anyone else because no one else had any say over whether or not we exist. We exist.

To not have any of that is to not exist. And to not have it be there by self genesis, is to not exist. We physically exist to function as autonomous, continuously self-creating beings. That is our primary function. Like washing machines wash clothes and can't do much else, we cannot help but do what we're built to do.

The highest crime between people is demanding by force, by law, by deceit, by manipulation, by threat, by imprisonment, by bribery, by withholding information, by telling lies, by ultimatum, by any means of coercion at all, that someone else must relinquish themselves, in essence cease to exist, and instead become a mere extension of someone else's will; carrying someone else's thoughts, ideas, desires, goals and philosophies. That is a crime against nature as well as a crime against the human species. We can offer, we can ask, we can request, but we have no right to demand and no right to force our will on anyone else. We have the right to defend ourselves from someone else's unwanted intrusion or attacks on our persons, but there is no right to wage such attacks or make such intrusions.

We don't seem to appreciate this nearly enough or understand the basic rules of coexistence. We confuse our own desires with a right to satisfy them. There is no such right if it involves or affects anyone else and they are not allowed to decide whether or not they want to participate. No such right ever existed, and it never will.

What "1984" shows us is how officialdom tries to sanitize their crimes against nature and humanity with claims to impossible authority and impossible rights to propagate official philosophy and condemn all alternative philosophies as evil. The Party turned all truth on its head and made natural rights into illegal things and illegal things into official rights, just like our own government does today and has done for a long time. What the Party was really trying to do to Winston was expunge his unique mind from existence. Big Brother demanded the mass murder of human consciousness.

It's easy to say that's insane, it is insane. It's evil, about as evil as it comes. What's not so easy is understanding why anyone would want this. It makes no sense. It's a contradiction to want everyone else's unique identity extinguished but still be surrounded by people. It reminds me of Narcissus gazing at his own reflection in the pond. If you want to be the only person on earth, then why don't you want to be alone? What is it that is so hard for you about other people not being you? What do you feel entitles you to torture and murder them for not being you when that is not a possibility, much less a crime? What is it that you really want?

People like this have filled volumes with their excuses and lies which they tell themselves and each other and then all agree it makes perfect sense and justifies their bad behavior. But it doesn't justify anything. There is no excuse or validation for serial killers.

By attempting to use force of any kind to deprive people of their primary function is to demand that they be expunged from existence. More precisely it's a demand to have never existed at all. It's a demand that cannot be met. No one can exist and then never have existed. It doesn't even make sense.

Even more, there is no reason, need or right to demand that anyone cease to exist. To demand that you stop being who you are is to demand that you kill yourself, mentally, physically, or both, so that someone else may feel happy because you are gone. That is not a reasonable demand. It is invalid.

To me that's natural law #1. If you exist you obviously have the right to exist. Period. Everything else comes after that, not before.

The thing about natural laws is that pretending they don't exist doesn't get you thrown in jail or punished the way breaking a man made law does. You can't break a natural law. You can try, and we do try, over and over again, but when a law can't be broken nothing you do will subvert or override it. Natural law can't be pretended away. It can't be changed or effected. You can choose to ignore it but it will still be there. If you're at all intelligent you can benefit profoundly from the wisdom of natural law, because it teaches instead of imprisons, it expands you instead of diminishing you, it heals you instead of hurting you. Knowing about natural law is like having an anchor so we know where we are in relation to everything else in the universe, but it's also like a piece of string we can pull on to get some light. It's not the same as "THE" answers, that's something else. Natural laws aren't answers, they're truths. They're starting points, realities, square one. They apply equally to one and all.

Independent sentience is the square one of human existence. It is who we are. It can't be removed from our existence, or be given to someone else. It is as hard to share our independent sentience with someone else as it is to share an arm or a leg with someone else. It doesn't work that way. Our independent sentience is what wills our arms into action and our legs to move our bodies across the room. We can't do that for anyone else no matter how much we wish we could, it's just not possible.

We can't feel anyone else's pain other than to empathize with them. We can't see what anyone else is seeing unless they tell us what it is and try to show us and we want to try to see it, but we can never directly see it ourselves through their eyes. We can come to know others, to understand them, to interact with them, even at incredibly intimate levels, but we will always remain separate, individual and unique no matter how close we become.

Interestingly, it has to be that way. We couldn't love anyone if we weren't separate and sentient and self-generating our every thought and feeling. We couldn't experience that other person if we were a single entity. Then we would be one self, one sentience, and there would be no "other" to know or feel anything for. We could not experience self and others if we were all one mind experiencing everything all at once at the same time. We have to be individually sentient in order to see or think or feel or communicate. Our own life has to be a unique, personal experience in order for us to exist at all. The magic all happens when everyone's doing that and we manage to find some way to interact, communicate and express ourselves to each other; and make our lives and our world into something that matters to us.

That's what Big Brother wants to eradicate from not just Winston, but every one else. Big Brother literally does not want anyone else to exist. It wants to end existence of all but itself in duplicated, repeating, identical form. A clone society of one person. The Party wants to kill sentience and have itself be the only sentience there is. Why that is, I don't know, but that is what it wants. It's not rational. It doesn't make sense. It wants to remake the world into a shrine to itself. I'd call that the definition of insanity.

"I want you to cease to exist so that I may be happy" is a serious disorder of the will.

It's easy to read "1984" and know these Big Brother people were in a raging disease state, and see that people who have this disease are also its primary carriers. What might not be so quickly apparent though is that it happens in lesser degrees, and all too commonly today, in the here and now. For some people it is a full blown disease. For Big Brother and the Party it was more like Ebola. For others it's anywhere from the equivalent of a sneeze to the common cold to the flu. It can even go pandemic, because this disease can be very catchy.

"I want you to cease to exist so that I may be happy" disease, the exact same disease state of "1984", can and does affect pretty near everybody to some extent or another at least from time to time; and it affects some folks very seriously, permanently and forever. We have a lot of names for the multitudinous ways this disease expresses itself, like racism, sexism, corruption, greed, deceit, oppression, domination, imperialism, fascism, modern capitalism, rape, murder, theft, fraud, war, cheating, bullying, manipulation, rudeness, inconsideration, selfishness, cruelty, disrespect, but while the expressions are all quite different they all spring from the same disease of the will.

There is something interesting I've noticed about this disease. That is its desperate, paranoid, even hysterical need to label itself as the ultimate form of perfect sanity. It must convince others that it is not a disease, not a disorder of the will, but instead it is the pinnacle of truth and perfected human thought. That assertion cannot be proven but to the infected, proof is irrelevant. Reality is irrelevant. Nothing is relevant but what the infected person thinks or feels. They can and do make it up as they go. They have no fear of being hypocrites or liars, and they cannot be shamed. They are able to stand before anyone in a state of raging disease, while it is crystal clear to onlookers that they are covered with crawling disease organisms that are truly disgusting and horrible, and they will say they are beautiful and healthy and that anyone who doesn't think so is stupid, or a terrorist, or is insane. They will say all kinds of things about others, but they will never consider any reason exists to look in the mirror.

Even more interesting is that those who are not infected see the disease and its false claims for what they are, and they cannot be tricked, fooled or in any wise convinced to believe it is anything but a disease. They recognize infected persons and know they are infected. It is only those who become infected who will suddenly believe they have not become sick, but they are now perfectly healthy. They too will spontaneously develop the identical paranoid to hysterical obsessive need to be perceived as perfect in their sanity. The slightest suggestion that they are not thinking clearly, that they are not objective, that they are wrong, that they are behaving badly, will never be received objectively or passively. On the contrary, it is risky to challenge infected persons because doing so cuts to the core of the disease and threatens to expose it, which would prove it is there. Proving it is there is to render it impotent. Knowing it is there is to threaten its existence. The response is predictable and always the same; rage.

The germs of "I want you to cease to exist so that I may be happy" disease float freely about us in great quantity at all times, just like so many other kinds of germs and pathogens. Our mental immune systems are not always geared up enough to fight off bouts of infection from this soul pathogen.

The cure is not complicated, it just takes conscious effort and the desire to get well, or if we are already well, to stay that way. No one is ever immune from being infected by this stuff. Interestingly though, because it is a malfunction of our own will we can always choose to not be infected. As soon as we realize we have it we can choose to not have it.

Being uncomplicated is not the same as being easy. It can be really hard to be honest enough and unselfish enough and mature enough to admit when and under what circumstances we have this disorder. It's not hard to understand that everyday people get infected with this because it comes from a natural and perfectly good thing. It's just that the perfectly natural good thing has malfunctioned.

My earlier quick definition of what a person is, an independent sentient being, is a being driven by self interest. It has to be in order to survive. But it also has to be driven by interest in others, because when it isn't, it malfunctions. It attempts to operate in opposition to reality. The reason it has to be driven by interest in others is because there are others. We exist and others exist. Any suggestions of greater or lesser right or worth or anything else are hot air. They can't be supported by natural law. We all exist in exactly the same degree, we have to acknowledge each other's existence in exactly the same degree. If there were no others it wouldn't matter, but then we wouldn't exist either so the point is obvious. You just can't get around this, it's simple common sense.

As simple as it is to understand, it's possibly one of the hardest things to manifest. Sometimes it can't be helped just due to sheer numbers, but many times it's only a choice we make to either acknowledge the existence of others or decide that doesn't count as much as getting what we want. When we negate the existence of others by conscious intent, with malice, with depraved indifference, it disrupts and damages the natural order of things and creates havoc, destruction and suffering.

Infected people are the cause of almost every wrong that people do in this world. It's not the same as making a mistake, anyone can make a mistake. This is specifically about the will of the infected individual malfunctioning. And like any systemic disease it doesn't just affect the will, it spreads to other components of the being and invades them, thus transforming them into willing accomplices which will aid and abet the disease's continued existence. No disease can go on existing unless it propagates and this disease is desperate to propagate itself. It must infect reason, logic, compassion, critical thinking, and most every function of the individual being.

The nature of this disease is to demand that natural law does not exist or that somehow it is wrong and they are right. Just as infected people insist they are not infected but are healthy, the disease can only stay alive by turning everything inside out and calling it normal. This disease exists in direct opposition to simple truth and plain old ordinary reality. The problem is, it cannot affect simple truth and plain old ordinary reality. Because of that it can only try to destroy them. It obsesses over destroying them. It goes on crusades to destroy them. Infected people's only recourse is to use force to eradicate simple truth and ordinary reality, because the exercise of one person's will cannot affect change in any other person but one's own self. Even this unchangeable natural law is one they deny and attempt to overthrow even though it is pointless.

Wanting to use our personal will to control the thoughts and actions of another person is common enough, but apparently not quite common enough for anybody who does it to recognize it doesn't work that way. Our will is confined to controlling ONLY our own selves, both physically and mentally. We cannot simply "will" another to do or be what we want. If we could do that, we would do that, but it's not possible.

What does that mean? It's too simple to believe it needs to be said out loud, but here goes. It means that it's wrong to do that. Wrong, meaning it is not within the realm of possibility. We do not possess the ability, and therefore we do not possess the right, to have our will control the thoughts, beliefs, feelings or lives of another person. Those are things we can control and are supposed to control in and for ourselves. We do it for ourselves, others do it for themselves. That's how this whole human existence thing works. That's how we function. Our will cannot affect the basic existence or function of any other being. You just can't do it.

Unless, of course, you do terrible things that hurt other people. You can use your will to make you get a grip and behave like a decent human being, or you can decide not to do that and use your will to come up with ways to use force or deception to make others do what you want. No matter what your supposed good reasons are, no matter how it is rationalized, it is still breaking the first basic rule of coexistence to do that. Just because you are able to use your own will to ignore and defy simple reality and truth does not mean you are right to do so. You are committing a crime against independent sentience when you use force or other cheats to get your way.

You're also causing damage to the person you use force against, and possibly to other people connected to them as well as yourself. There is physical rape and we all know that's a crime, but there is also mental rape and that's also a crime. Both physical murder and mental murder are crimes. In a way this is so simple that its hard. What's hard about it is really facing it, really getting it, and really understanding that we're not functioning right in this world unless we're trying hard to overcome those things in ourselves that make us want to deny the obvious and act as if our desires matter more than who we use to satiate them. There is no natural law to support that.

I know that some will say that's not true because, for instance, in order to eat we have to kill something. They will say that because that's true then anything we want to do toward fulfilling our desires is valid and there are no rules and killing isn't even wrong. That would be incorrect. That's like saying, "If this is an apple then everything is an apple". No it isn't. There is an obvious natural law that requires us to eat life to stay alive. We have no choice but to consume other living things, which means killing them, but those living things are food, not other people. We have to eat food but we do not have to rape or kill or lie. That's just stupid. Look for the natural law. If it's not there, it isn't there so quit being a twit. This is simple stuff. It is common sense. You don't even need to be able to read to know this. We can observe it all around us in our natural world.

There are rules. There is right and wrong. We are not masters of the universe. We are complex, diverse, sentient, individual beings living finite life spans on a world with other sentient beings and many other life forms. We're all here together. We like to pretend we're not a part of it all, but we are. The more effort, time and energy we put into pretending we are separate from our shared Earth reality, the more we prove ourselves wrong. The more we try to defy the natural, common sense rules that cannot be changed, the more harm we do. And boy are we stubborn and defiant. We hate not having everything our way. It should be pretty clear to everybody by now that we are guaranteed to kill ourselves as we continue killing the world we're a part of unless we knock it off.

Our personal desires may be strong, but they do not automatically manifest a right to be fulfilled. A desire to be fulfilled is not a right to be fulfilled. Our rights end at the outer edges of our own skin. That's the fact of the matter and it's a fact we sometimes really hate. We can hate it all we want, but that won't change a single thing. We are doing it wrong when we pretend there are no rules and there is no morality and there is no right or wrong. Of course there is.

The disease state of "1984" is in full bloom in the real world we all live in. Just like in the story, the infected Party power players have lied, cheated, stole, murdered, and turned reality on its ear in the useless attempt to legitimize their disease. They achieved the means to have it written down on paper and have their crimes protected by legal force from any attempts at correction, but they did not achieve the real goal they wanted of making it legitimate. It can never be legitimate, it is a disease state. The next step was to elevate the lie to a sacred truth that must never be questioned or doubted. This makes anyone who questions or doubts it a vile horrific enemy that they can then claim the right to brutalize, imprison, and even kill in "self-defense". It is absolutely self-defense. Every person with the truth inside them is a direct threat to their continued existence.

When the disease state controls our lives everything slowly dies because the disease brings death. That's what diseases do. Natural law facilitates life and growth and health, because that's what it does.

I know "1984" is a book of fiction, but all the same I would beg to differ. It's a fictional account of hard reality and it describes perfectly well the nature of the eternal struggle on this world. It shows us the exact definition of "wrong". It shows us how "wrong" masquerades itself as "right". It shows us how to get people to never look at the real issue and instead believe the wrong people masquerading as right people, and to embrace the masquerade wholeheartedly and think it is real. It shows us exactly why information control and non-diversity of thought turns people into automatons who don't think and who cannot think past their indoctrination. It faithfully depicts what happens to people when their birthright to think for themselves and to have their own opinions, beliefs and ideas is cheated and manipulated away from them.

As unpleasant as these things are to look at, they must be looked at. They must be endured long enough to make clear to us how important it is to know with all certainty what is right and what is wrong and why. Because as long as we fall for the rivers of bullshit and lies that are there to detour us from simple truth, to confuse issues that are not confusing, to excuse behavior that is inexcusable, we will continue to slowly but surely cease to exist. And if there is anything the vast majority of humanity would be quick to agree with is the fact that no one's demands that we cease to exist can ever be legitimate. We are never obligated to cease to exist to make anyone else happy.

That means that the very people who are most infected must also be allowed to exist. But at least once we know who and what they are, and if we care about being free of their infection in ourselves, we can choose any number of legitimate avenues to address this disease and perhaps even some day be able to free ourselves from the rampage of death and destruction it inflicts on our whole world.

We are given to believe that things are much more complicated than this; that nothing can be this straightforward and simple and be real; and that it would be idiotic to suggest that there aren't puffed up self-important people who are better than everyone else based on any number of personal beliefs. But a personal belief is not a genuine truth or a natural law. A genuine truth applies to one and all. It applies whether we know about it or not. It applies whether we deny it or not. It is not a matter of assertion or belief. It just is.

An example of a personal truth is that you are afraid of bees. The reason you are afraid of bees is that you are highly allergic to bee stings. If a bee stings you, you are very likely to die. This is a personal truth that is actually a truth. It is true whether or not anyone else out of the next hundred people is also allergic to bee stings. Even if nobody else is, you still are. That's a personal truth, not a general one, or what I refer to as a genuine truth that applies to all people everywhere.

Another example of a personal truth is that your mama says you're special and you believe her. She would never lie to you and tells you you're special every single day. You might really believe you're special and your mama might really believe it too, with all of her heart. But it doesn't make you special anywhere else beyond you and your mama. It's not a general truth and I'm not even sure it's a personal one, but in any case, it is certainly not supported by natural law. I'm surprised how many people don't realize that. It boggles the mind.

The same applies to the personal belief that you are better than others, or more special than others, or more entitled than others, due to whatever variable you want to assert. Your personal religious beliefs, a belief that money determines the value of a life, a belief that might makes right, that real men must be macho and should beat up women, these are personal beliefs, not general truths. They may be true to you, but that does not equate to being true anywhere else outside of your own head, even if you can get fifty seven other people who say they agree with you and believe the same thing. It still doesn't make it a general across the board reality. It is not a genuine truth. It does not apply to all. You can think it does but it doesn't and it never will. It's not possible. If it was a general truth everyone would know it wouldn't they? But too many people know it's not a truth in their own lives. A personal truth may or may not be true, and it may or may not be a genuine truth. These things are all different and not all supposed truths are true.

The truths that I'm talking about here are genuine truths. They do apply to everyone across the board. They are something we're all born with in exact equal measure. They just are.

Where we run into trouble time and again is in believing our own personal truths, beliefs, opinions, preferences and desires apply to anyone outside ourselves, which they can't, and don't and possibly never will, because they're personal. We may think they can apply to others who aren't interested or who reject them, but they don't, and they won't, and they can't. We have to get over ourselves and quit pretending that what we have in our heads, no matter how much we believe it, is not an automatic general truth that applies across the board just because we think so.

We also have to accept that not every desire comes with a right to have it fulfilled, especially not if fulfilling it includes anyone else but ourselves. There is no right to get our jollies out on somebody else's life. This is so not hard. Like I said, the hardest thing about it is making ourselves be honest about it, and for some people that's just too much to ask.

We can't make anyone else be honest or real about anything, we can only do that for ourselves. But we can tell who cares about being honest, who cares about the other people on the planet with them, and who consistently doesn't. We can choose to refuse to associate with people who want to be infected, we can try to present them with other knowledge and facts and ideas to explain how we see things differently, or we can choose to do something else. That's the free will part of being an independently sentient person; and the self same part that the diseased among us are always so desperate to stamp out. What a coincidence.

I offer this up today to be put on the record because apparently a whole lot of people have not been clued in. Regardless of anyone else's take on the subject, this is my take and I duly register it along with the statement that these are my rules, and if you break them you're wrong. Also for the record is the fact that this is only a part of this picture, there's a lot more attached to it and behind it and supporting it, but it is still a genuine truth that stands on its own. It's still true whether we're able to appreciate it and make headway with it or not. If we don't know this we won't get anywhere as human beings, but I think a lot of us know this, even if we've never thought it through or put it into so many words. It only makes sense. It's fair. It's reasonable, logical and hard to argue with. It's hard to come up with any genuine truths to support the opposite.

Unfortunately, what we know from "1984" as well as our own current reality is that the truth does not keep some people from trying to pretend their own truth is better or matters more. It does not keep anyone from denying it or violating it or trying to erase it. Which is why it is so important to be adamant about what we know is right and wrong and not allow ourselves to be hijacked out of our very purpose and reason for being alive. If we don't value our independent sentience enough to protect it and insist upon other's respecting it, nobody else is going to do that for us. Indeed, if we don't care enough about it, it will be hijacked and we will be expunged from sentient existence and we will become nothing more than animated meat puppets trained to respond on command as extensions to somebody else's will. That would never work for me but then I am aware of the rules, so it's much less likely to happen to me. But those who are not aware of the rules would not even know if and when it's happened to them. And that is something that scares me even more than "1984".

Realityland

Is it possible for people to live in and believe to be real, a wholly man made, pre constructed, plasticized, consciously engineered social infrastructure? Could people live within such engineered systems and believe those systems to be the result of nature or natural unavoidable processes, consisting primarily of pure honesty and unadulterated truths? Without checking so much as once in a lifetime to verify their beliefs, to hold those beliefs as if proven, factual and true would seem, to many people, to stretch believability. Yet, without ever having that conscious thought, without ever hearing that question or stimulating our brains with that idea, unless it is directly put to us at a time prior to our mental cement permanently hardening, the vast majority of people can and do live in exactly such contrived artificial social structures and do assume them to be totally naturally occurring and comprised of whole truths and natural provable facts. No great number of these people bother to check for themselves so much as once in a lifetime whether or not their beliefs are backed up by facts.

The world we live in and accept as reality, as certainty, as natural and as real is a lot more like Disneyland than reality. It's exactly as natural as Disneyland too, precisely zero percent natural. Our contrived theme park could be called Realityland, it's so much like Disneyland, only it's a lot less fun, costs a hell of a lot more and you can never leave.

Just like Disneyland, Realityland is a cheap fantasy based planned man-made creation, an imitation of something that doesn't exist anywhere in nature or natural reality, and never could and never will. It is a place that has been designed and constructed in totality. It is added onto as years go by, and sections are torn down and replaced with newer things, flashier things, less substantial things. It is a place of illusion and external appearances. We are not allowed to see behind the scenes or even to know that there is a "behind the scenes". We are strongly encouraged to believe there is nothing more than what meets the eye and that what meets the eye is all there is. For most people, external appearances and assurances that's all there is, is enough. Reports of vast underground activity that holds up, directs, supports and wholly controls every inch of what is externally visible are routinely dismissed as ridiculous, the first hand account givers discredited and disbelieved. Believing it takes more to make a theme park run than what can be seen on the surface is a reasonable and rather obvious truth, but that doesn't matter. What matters is what is believed, not what is true. Belief becomes truth and stays truth because it is rarely checked and verified. It is assumed and when that assumption is generally held and dominant, to check it seems idiotic.

What we think of as reality is very much a theme park in the truest sense. There is little that is real about it. It is not a naturally occurring phenomenon that "just happens" without direction and planning. It is precisely what it is by conscious design. This is a fantasy world. It exists to sell people a good time, or more accurately to sell the illusion that a good time can be had by all, and in so doing it rakes in reality based benefits, benefits that are real and have value in the real world. These benefits are accumulated and whisked away, never spoken of, never discussed, never admitted or mentioned again. People show up and exchange their real valuables, their priceless time, their hard earned monetary wealth, for endless varieties of bullshit. Every sort of distraction is there to appeal to and draw in every sort of appetite, from the childish to the profane. The one thing every attraction has in common is that it costs you something to participate. If you don't pay you can't play. That in itself should be enough to distinguish non-reality from reality.

Do we or do we not consciously understand that money is king in Realityland? Everything runs on money. Is that a secret? A surprise? No. It's not even hidden. It's blatant. We do know that. Then can somebody please explain to me why people are consistently shocked and unable to believe that there is anything fake, dishonest, phony, contrived, disingenuous, filthy, corrupt, conspiratorial, criminal or otherwise not natural and healthy happening in our theme park? Where exactly is it that people think nasty people go to do their nasty things? Few could give specific geographical answers to that question but most will tell you emphatically it is anywhere but here.

What on earth is wrong with people's heads?

Can anyone tell me this? How can people sit through the endless carpet bombing of television commercials? Personally, I cannot tolerate the first microseconds of any advertising, I will be screaming loudly inside my own head, "Make it stop! Turn it off!" well before the first three spoken words are rattled off. The phony, cheesy tones of advertising, commercial "voice" as I call it, the creepy ridiculous style of advertising talk, commercial speak, commercial artifice, commercial visuals, artificial contrived advertising feel, texture and cadence, the obnoxious changes in volume levels, the precisely timed formatted sequences that never allow a pause, that give you no chance to think, to dismiss as nonsense, to reject or ignore. I utterly despise the nonstop barrage of saturating mind pollution. This is not benign, this is a weaponized, tactical assault and we are the enemy. Weaponized tactical assault advertising blasts into the heads of tens of millions of people simultaneously, repeatedly, excruciatingly, consciously, every minute of every day of every year of your life. There is nothing casual or nice about that.

The absolutely predictable stench and feel of advertising assault weapons are things instantly recognizable to me which instantly evoke inside my head extreme negative reactions and angry return fire. I refuse to allow that filth to be anywhere near my conscious or unconscious mind to the greatest possible extent. Advertising repels me physically as well as emotionally. I despise and deeply resent the heinous violent assaults on our minds so casually referred to as "advertising". This is not advertising. This stopped being advertising decades ago. What it is now is weaponized tactical assault technology, weapons for the mind, delivered with the aim, unfettered intent and unrivaled ability to take us down, all the way down, and without us ever knowing it. These weapons do not fire blanks, they lock and load with only the most potent state of the art live rounds that science can deliver.

This evil toxic mental invasion spares no cost, no trouble, no effort to devise ever newer and deadlier methods to deliver carpets of mind bombs and bullets. No lie is too great to tell, no blatant contrivance or outright idiocy is too farfetched to offer up as reality, no disinformation, misinformation or lack of information is beyond blasting at people's undefended brains.

The kill rate is staggering and unrivaled. The numbers of mortally wounded increased so rapidly from the start, over a very short period of time, that this evil force achieved its desired 100% kill rate decades ago, a kill rate maintained and uninterrupted to this day. Amazingly, a 100% kill rate was not enough. The desire came to increase the kill rate to beyond 100%. One is left to wonder how that could ever be done. The terrorists of advertising were and still are clearly determined to achieve rates exceeding 100%, to them it is obtainable reality. Today's advertising weapons seek to kill our young before they are even born, and they have succeeded in achieving that aim. We now bomb and destroy our own children in the womb, and increase the mind and body bombing and destruction the moment they arrive and continue it publicly and privately for the rest of their lives. No child in this country can escape the eternal and endless onslaught of mental violence and vile foreign occupation by modern day propaganda dispersal and advertising. No one can get away from it. It will invade your mind. It will infiltrate, occupy and parasitically replace the parts of your brain that think and perceive and recognize the very threat it comprises, with itself. Every exposed person will be forced, regardless of will, without consent, without full much less complete disclosure, without warning, without choice, and without excuse, to receive steady repeated blasts of toxic destructive mind bombing. This is the weaponry of relentless corporate for-profit propaganda, public relations and advertising firms. It is hurled against our beings for the entirety of our lives at intervals only minutes apart. Every single day of our lives. It never stops. It cannot be negotiated with. It will never recede. It can't be fought back at. There is nothing there to shoot, yet there it is bombing us, again and again and again well past the point of being able to stand it. Every single day that we are exposed to commercial broadcast or print media we are assaulted. We are all casualties. And our lives suffer for it, from the depths of our souls, the wounds will affect the course of many and diverse lives and actions.

The overall destructive impact of weaponized, unrestricted mass marketing, the unwanted unasked for targeting of our entire unarmed civilian population over decades, is possibly incalculable. We have little frame of reference for what an unmolested naturally thinking population would look like, or act like or think like. We simply no longer even understand the idea.

I don't care who you are, if you've endured the millions of TV commercials and thousands upon thousands of hours of commercial broadcasting the average American has had injected into his or her mind from childhood, you've been altered. You have been modified, despicably, willfully undermined and redirected in your personal development and mental function. You have been infiltrated, occupied by hostile forces and emotionally, spiritually and physically reorganized whether you liked it or knew it or not. You have been re-engineered, transformed into a human receiver tuned to pick up all broadcasts of power propaganda and social engineering and you will accept without effort all standardized mental assaults from all authorized outlets and believe them to be non-dangerous. You will not be aware that you are a casualty of war. You will feel normal and unchanged. You may well be able to list all of the ingredients in McDonalds "secret sauce" even though you've never consciously thought about it or had any interest in knowing such ingredients. Even if you never eat at McDonalds, you may well still know the ingredients and the song that forced its way into your brain to be remembered forever. It is not lodged in there permanently for your benefit. It is lodged in there for McDonalds Corporation's benefit. You do understand that much, hopefully.

Every word I've said is true. Regardless of what smarty pants we love to think we are, every single person who has been carpet bombed by modern commercial mass media weaponry has been hit and re-hit countless times, and is a casualty that is at some level, permanently disabled.

The shrapnel of pornographic, weaponized commercial media is lodged deeply within our body tissues, inextricable from our brains, from our emotions, from our senses, from reason, from our belief formation and maintenance systems. These invisible bits of mind shrapnel cannot be surgically removed. They cannot be removed by will. Once they are there they stay there forever and literally meld with our bodies and beings forever. If that is not weaponry then I don't know what is. The permanent uninvited unwanted and unneeded invasive ideation of others being disrespectfully, relentlessly, repeatedly implanted inside our bodies and minds is about as intrusive and harmful as it gets. The success of these weapons against greater humanity is truly unrivaled. What other bullets or bombs can inflict damage on every man, woman and child and not be noticed, detected or if suspected be so easily dismissed as innocuous, entertaining or clever? It just can't happen with physical bullets and bombs. It is frightening and bizarre.

When people are hit by bullets they understand full well they've been hit and harmed. They know the bullet is not a good thing. They have no confusion as to whether or not it is a part of their body. They know up front they didn't want it in them, near them or on them. They recognize the projectile as a direct and serious threat to their person. They know it is an invasive violent force that is there due to someone else's specific intent to do them harm, even to take their life. There is no mystery there. Perhaps the pain is what makes it so perfectly clear that this is a threat and a danger. There is also the immediacy of harm and loss of life, pouring blood, disfigurement and suffering that is easily and obviously connected to bullets penetrating bodies. There is no debate or discussion as to whether those who are shot wanted it, asked for it or liked it. No one would dare suggest it is good for the economy. To suggest one has a right to propel bullets into other's bodies at will for personal gain would be resoundingly rejected. It is not acceptable. (Why we believe it is acceptable when our government does it deserves consideration. There is no such right regardless of the fictitious labels we place on each other). It would be idiocy to suggest any of these things. Nobody wants to be targeted and shot at with intent to kill, disable or harm out of greed or the desire to destroy free will and gain control over others. It's a shitty thing to do to people. That's probably why shooting people and causing harm for personal gain is illegal.

We have no problem recognizing what causes us physical harm. There is no confusion there at all. We spend mind boggling amounts of time and money to train specialist people how to react to violent physical harm, to assist those who have been harmed by all forms of violence against them. There are now countless areas of expertise, thousands of details and facts and knowledge available to respond to physical harm. It is an enormous industry and a beloved and trusted sector of our society.

Where is the equivalent for mental harm? It is as though no such thing exists. It obviously exists. Yet, do we ever hear the slightest suggestion of mental coercive attacks? No. The absence of the subject screams a truth. It is purposely absent from public discourse. It is routinely denied and ridiculed when reported. We are fully aware of terrific amounts of time, money and energy having been invested in "mind control" experiments by our own government for decades. None the less the topic is treated as fantastical and impossible. Something there does not add up. Why?

When weapons are not apparently physical we behave as if genuine harm is not possible. Exposure to toxic, foul, demoralizing, esteem damaging, reality bending, dishonest, contrived lies that exist to get your money by getting inside your mind and telling you whatever it takes to get you to open your wallet today and come back tomorrow to open it again and keep on opening it for the rest of your life is hardly an act of brotherhood and friendship. The attackers do not care how deadly or dangerous their products are to you. This strikes most people as too absurd to be true. Believability is unrelated to reality. You are a little wooden duck at the mechanical shooting range, and they have all of the guns. That's reality.

Injuries of the mind are real, pervasive and severe. Much pain and suffering, confusion, and notions ranging from the inane to the horrendous exist in real time inside peoples heads across the entire breadth and width of our country. People with nothing in common except owning and watching TV sets or reading corporate newspapers and magazines, people of all diverse backgrounds, ages, races, religions, political beliefs, jobs, financial status, all of them, can and do hold completely erroneous, identical, unsubstantiated beliefs that are not based in reality or fact yet are firmly and widely believed to be true. This is not a naturally occurring phenomenon. It can't happen in nature. There is no reason for it to happen. The only cause is artificial implantation of false ideas across the entire spectrum of television owning, media receiving humanity. False ideas are knowingly put there, repeated beyond reason, need or justification, delivered in a manner that causes deep conditioning to feel no alarm at all, to accept and allow penetration of the most precious, most private, most personal part of the body: the mind.

Tell me, what exists in this world that has "a right" to inject itself into your brain at will? What thing exists in nature that attempts to penetrate your physical body and implant itself in your head? Should any such creature present itself to us would we not recognize it immediately as a threat? As a parasite or a virus? Or at the very least as something that is not a positive or beneficial thing? Of course we would. Without discussion or debate we would instantly understand that an external intruder is only there to benefit itself at our expense. We understand full well that nothing outside of us has any right to force itself into our bodies or brains. We correctly assume such forceful penetration, unasked for, unwanted, unneeded, would be damaging to us and would cause us harm, even serious harm, even death.

Where does the blind spot come from that prevents us from understanding that the same kinds of external intrusion can and do occur invisibly? That equivalent pestilence and threats can and do attack and invade the human mind? It is reasonable to assume our collective identical blind spot has also been wholly engineered and delivered to our minds.

Our minds are everything we are, everything we think and see and feel and believe. Our minds are us. Our minds are who we are. They are not protected by reinforced steel. They are not respected by anyone seeking to invade them. Our minds can be played with at countless levels. What others say to us, how others look at us, what is said about us, mere nonphysical words can cause pain and damage so severe as to overwhelm us, hurt us, fill us with grief, rage, doubt, loathing, resentment, jealousy, the whole gamut of human response. Feelings and thoughts are our only reality. They are who we are. They can be and regularly are interfered with, influenced by everyone we meet, everyone we hear, everyone we see, whether or not we think about it or know it. It all gets inside our heads and it all affects us. It can cause us tremendous harm or tremendous good. That very much depends on the intent of those others, but even the best of intentions are no guarantee of doing good. Why is it that we don't understand that? Why don't we consciously understand how important it is for us to pick and choose what we want inside our minds? When clearly, it is the cumulative effect of all that is in our minds that makes us who we are and has the ultimate power to direct and decide our lives and how we live them. Because whatever gets in there becomes a part of us. Forever. It cannot be extricated.

It takes conscious effort to disarm unwanted influences in our minds. It is not always possible. We are not conscious when receiving the vast majority of what ultimately takes up residence inside our heads. Nobody asks our permission before discharging their yields into our minds. Nobody cares whether or not we want to hear it or be exposed to it or be offended, demoralized, confused or conflicted by it. Lies are told much more often than truths, truths are an increasingly rare commodity. So what's in your mind and how much of it is there by your choice?

How much of what takes up space in our limited gray matter is there by personal choice, by our own intent, and how much is hijacked and stolen from us, disguised as innocuous, as truth, as informative, important or entertaining when in fact it is knowingly delivered, dishonest, manipulative, propelled without warning or consent inside our heads with the specific goal of changing our heads, changing our very beings into something that will benefit others at our cost and loss? Why else do we knowingly harm ourselves with toxic products and damaging behaviors? Doing those things could never be our natural choice or come to us as ideas we would desire to make into reality. Doing those things is self destructive, which flies totally in the face of our strong inherent will and desire to live. You tell me where it all comes from.

You tell me why children are killing children in schools today when no such thing ever happened before. You tell me why deep enduring love has become the exception instead of the rule, why money is openly given more importance than life itself, why selfishness, pornography and violence are entertaining to us, why we emulate them, why we are not offended by things that clearly destroy us from the inside out? You tell me why.

Tell me why we naively believe our elected officials are bastions of righteousness and truth in the absence of proof to support such naive beliefs, in the face of non stop evidence of the exact opposite in generous supply? You tell me why an entire nation can be roused to a state of panic and fear of a deadly pandemic when no one we know is even sick, much less dead. Tell me why. Go ahead.

If what gets poured into our heads has no effect on how we think, on what we believe, on how we perceive, value and interpret the world around us, on our ability to separate bullshit from reality, then you tell me why our entire nation is brain dead and brainwashed. Explain to me how it can be that most everyone we meet thinks every doctor is gifted, honest, moral, capable and dedicated, and could never be a pervert, a crappy doctor, or a crook? Explain to me why most everyone believes that every cop is an upright noble citizen, believes every soldier is honorable and decent, believes every man behind bars deserves to be there, believes things that are not food are good to eat, believes one unconfirmed case of super TB three states away directly threatens personal health. Go ahead and explain those things to me. None of them can be substantiated. Why are these beliefs so dominant and pervasive?

It's simply not possible for three hundred million people who don't know each other to all hold the exact same nonsensical self destructive idiotic naive and just plain wrong beliefs and attitudes about the exact same things. That cannot happen by accident or by chance. It cannot happen as a result of nature. How then can it exist, and exist so pervasively? So intensely that people will come to hatred and blows should they encounter a difference of opinion? How does that happen? You tell me.

Are we as consciously created as the phony world we live in? Are we even really us? How much longer will it take before we no longer care? How long before we accept the next level of mental bombardment and occupation that tells us that we are better off this way regardless of the undeniable evidence to the contrary? Who are we really? Does anyone really know anymore?

Most anyone knows better than to leave his most valuable possessions unattended and easily accessible to anyone who sees them and wants to take them. What is more valuable than our minds? Yet how much conscious attention do we give to being in charge of what gets in them? How much right do we have anymore to protect and decide what goes into our own minds?

Bullets hurt when they penetrate our bodies and the damage they do is obvious and immediate. The damage done via intrusive, manipulative disguised mental attack is not painful, in fact it is made to be as palatable as possible. You will be made to love your slavery. You won't find a thing wrong with being mentally controlled by others for their own benefit at the cost of your free will and ability to discern and think for yourself. You might actually believe that they can think better for you than you can. Chances are, you already do in some ways. In the ways that you take the word of authorities and experts as solid truth and do not check things out for yourself, you've already given up the right to decide for yourself what you think.

That might not always be a bad thing. Not all experts and authorities are clueless politicos or "D" students with a flair for salesmanship. There is no such thing as "all" anything being the same. All people are different. All expertise is individual and unique, some of it is earned and real and lots of it is just memorized and taken as truth because it was delivered by people believed to be the pinnacle of reality. The danger zone is that glowing neon area where people stop thinking, stop asking questions, and stop checking things for themselves. Unthinking acceptance breeds ignorance, weakness and fear. Those who proliferate weak mindedness demand unwavering compliance, unearned loyalty, and expect to be staunchly supported whether they end up being right or wrong. That doesn't even make sense. Phonies are liars, and lazy ones too. This is why we hear the same words coming from different mouths verbatim. The laziest thing of all is to simply memorize what you've been handed and pledge your unthinking, uncritical support to bigger idiots than yourself. Nothing there to brag about. It's kind of a weenie way of being, in my humble opinion. I'm not sure what the payoffs are supposed to be. At the price of controlling my own head, I can think of nothing I'd trade that for.

There's no doubt that we're all under constant, focused assault by our own government. Even though it's supposedly illegal for our government to propagandize us, they do it every day. It's not even debatable. This is not theory, it's fact. It is on the record in official documents. Every major media outlet was infiltrated by intelligence operatives back in the McCarthy era. They never left. The censorship that prevents us from issuing "F" report cards to deserving elected officials is no accident. Nothing much happens by accident when losers and cheaters are running loose in positions of authority. They can't afford to let the public hear the truth. They can't afford to let real justice unfold in courtrooms. They can't afford to let the people decide for themselves when those decisions would more than likely drop kick losers out of powerful positions. They're icky people.

But icky people are nothing new. A certain amount of them are invariably drawn to places in society where they can try to get away with being icky and greasy and creepy. It's such a game and very tangled. They don't fool anybody who can see them up close.

We're not always made privy when decent people work behind the scenes to foil bad plans. We don't hear the dissenting voices of very reasonable, noble, dedicated people or know about how much static they give to poor leadership. So much of what reaches us in papers and broadcasts is plain crap that it's not funny. In the book "Toxic Waste is Good For You" it is stated that as much as 75% of what we read in the papers is completely made up. That's not something they made up it's something they proved.

We don't have to be helpless in the midst of all of this professionally contrived and delivered horse hockey. It can be rendered useless and harmless to us. It can be disarmed and ignored for the silly nonsense it is. We can walk right through it untouched. It's not hard to do. All it takes is using our own heads. Doing our own thinking. Making those who deliver public information earn our respect by giving us consistently honest, fair and accurate information; and when they don't we blow them off.

The truth is, when it comes to truth, you have to find it for yourself. No one can find truth for us. Having an unquenchable thirst for truth, for understanding what you don't understand, for knowing all sides of the story, for resisting the urge to become emotionally hooked and thereby controlled, is what it takes to insulate ourselves from the endless oceans of claptrap and goofiness so many people end up stuck in like flies caught in amber. They can't see past it or through it or get clear of it. They simply believe it and tell themselves how informed they are.

Those who are too lazy to ensure that what goes into their own heads deserves to be there will get whatever somebody else wants in there. Those who prefer to find and check facts for themselves will quickly discover that truth is not hidden or hard to find. Truth is simply not dragged out and served up on platters for us. The platter people are the ones who accept whatever they're served. They have no way of knowing what they're getting. I don't know how anyone could be comfortable with that, but I don't know everything and don't need to. I just need to know how to think for myself and that I can do pretty well.

To stay in control of our own minds we simply need to stay in control of our own minds. Anyone who wants to do that can do that. It is a choice. I will always choose to think for myself. I like it that way because I always know why I think what I think. In the process I also get to know myself and I suspect that unless we can do that, we won't get very far in finding the truths we seek, or in retaining control of how and what we think.

The Final Stage of Transhumanism

This is WHAT EVIL'S ENDGAME IS BEcause WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS, YOU LOSE YOUR SOUL.

ALWAYS USE YOUR MIND OR IT WILL TURN TO STONE AND SO WILL THE REST OF YOU.
