You want proof?

Here's your proof!

A friend of mine (Temy Beal) is a great believer in hard evidence and in denying any premise that lacks empirical proof.  Having once been deeply embedded in the religious world, and having escaped that prison through the application of this empirical belief system, it is easy to understand why he holds this belief system in such high esteem.  Philosophical arguments hold little sway with this friend, and given the trouble philosophical arguments have created in human history (religion springs to mind), who can blame him?  He needs hard evidence, and a handful of "soft" evidence just won't do.  For example, he wouldn't be caught dead believing in extra-terrestrials unless he could grapple one to the ground and subject it to a battery of laboratory tests.  Many highly rational people would applaud this mindset, including people he and I both admire, like Carl Sagan.  But there is something very important that my friend is missing, and I'd like to try once again to demonstrate what that is.

For this illustration, I will be using an example that Temy presents in his very fine blog entitled "Philosophy".  As an argument against the philosophical method and for empirical proof, Temy says:

If one does not believe that time is relative, for example, it means only that they are lacking this information or that they, for whatever reason, are incapable of grasping it.  The empirical truth of it is demonstrated all the time, one way being that the clocks of GPS satellites must be continually adjusted to account for the different rates of the passage of time in orbit as opposed to the earth's surface, because gravity slows time.

For Temy, the fact that time is relative is without question because of empirical proof provided by such things as GPS satellites.  The first key point that Temy is missing is that empirical proof itself is relative.  He practically says as much in that first sentence when, "for whatever reason," people just don't get it.  For most of history, the empirical evidence available to humans was that time was fixed and constant.  Time did not appear relative at all.  The days rolled by with measurable regularity (due to the Earth's spin), as did the months (the lunar cycle), and the years (the Earth's period of orbit).  There were no GPS satellites, no General Theory of Relativity, and no questions about the variability of time, for very obvious reasons.  Precision instruments called timepieces were invented that provided empirical evidence that time was more regular than a heartbeat.  So how did we get from the belief that time is regular to the belief that time is variable?

That is the second key point that Temy is missing.  We got there through philosophy.  Before time was ever demonstrated to have variability, some people imagined it.  Einstein claimed that his General Theory of Relativity was the result of "thought experiments" that he amused himself with during long walks through the countryside.  He was simply engaging in philosophical debate with himself about the nature of time.  And what fueled those mental debates were the paradoxes that his philosophical extrapolations produced.  Einstein had no hard evidence or empirical proof that his theory was correct, but it had a consistent philosophical feel to it, and that was sufficient to lead him to search for ways to describe in mathematical terms those same ideas.  Only after the theory was published were appropriate experiments designed to test and confirm Einstein's work.

So empirical proof may be a method to confirm truth, but it is often unavailable to get us there.  The same can be said for hard evidence.  Other more dangerous methods may be needed, like imagination, conjecture, testimony, speculation, observation, theories, etc.  Sure, they can often lead to trouble when misused, but to dismiss any of these tools without good reason can be counterproductive, as Einstein's example demonstrates.

No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.   --   Albert Einstein

America and the Beast

We are all, as individuals, a small part of the system.  "This is a deceitful, unfair, and corrupt system."  Ron Paul should know, as he has served in the belly of the beast for two decades.  Congress may be the belly of the beast, but the beast itself is far more deceitful, far more secretive, and far more powerful than the Congress.  The beast is immoral, illegal, and hardly surprising, downright evil, though it will deny it with every breath it takes.  This beast is the great deceiver.  This beast is the Federal Reserve.

Our part in the system is to be the ignorant plaything of the beast.  Most of us do this extremely well, without even being aware of it.  This is by design, and the designer was, of course, the beast.  We are like puppets on a string, and the strings that make us dance are dollars.  The beast controls the dollars, and so the beast controls our dancing.  We are dancing fools.

Ron Paul recognized early on the true nature of the beast, and he chose to serve in Congress partly to oppose this monster.  He has tried numerous times to get legislation passed to end the Federal Reserve, but far too many Congressmen are dancing fools in the service of the beast.  Not surprisingly, Ron Paul's call to arms remained a voice in the wilderness that no one heeded.

But Ron Paul didn't give up.  Unable to slay the beast directly, he changed his tactic.  Perhaps, if the great deceiver could simply be exposed for what it is, the puppets themselves would be awakened to their plight, cut their strings, and turn upon their manipulator.  And so, Ron Paul introduced legislation to "Audit the Fed" and expose its hidden misdeeds and crimes.  Ron Paul by now knew that Congressmen-on-a-string would publicly support the bill while privately working to defeat it, so public pressure would have to be rallied.  To help do this, he wrote a simple book, "End the Fed", where he lays out the case exposing the beast.  Those that love being captive puppets should not read this book (which means most of Congress won't be reading it), but those that love liberty, freedom, and justice will find it, pardon the pun, liberating.

Our Constitution, a document written by the founding fathers of this nation as the bedrock of our self-governance, explicitly addresses the issue of money.  These founding fathers knew the dangers of banks and paper money first-hand, and they were determined to spare our new country from the destruction these institutions always precipitate.  Thus they wrote, "The Congress shall have power to ... coin Money, regulate the Value thereof" and "No state shall ... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts".  As the supreme law of the land, only modifiable by Constitutional Amendment, this law still stands above all others.  It has never been rescinded.  Yet the puppets have broken the law, and not only that, they have kept us convinced that they did it for our own good.  Deceivers!  The beast grows fat and powerful as it bleeds us slowly of our very life-force, like the disgusting parasite that it is.  It creates paper and digital money in whatever quantity it deems necessary to pull our strings.  And like obedient puppets, we allow it.

"It's as if we still believe that money can be grown on trees, and we don't stop to realize that if it did grow on trees, it would take on the value of leaves in the Fall, to be either mulched or bagged and put in a landfill.  That is to say, it would be worthless." -- Ron Paul, "End the Fed", page 180

Like other countries that have inflated their paper currency into worthless garbage, we are well on our way down the road to poverty and destitution.  Only by destroying the beast can this train be stopped and the wreck averted.  If that is not clear, you have more strings to cut and more study to do, and a book called "End the Fed" to read.

 

Didn't I hear them announce that everything will be fine?

State of dysfunction

Every year, the President of the United States addresses the American people to describe the state of the union.  Every year, the true state of the union is airbrushed out, and what we really receive is a cheerleading session designed to make us feel good about the escalating rape we are experiencing from our own government.  Today, you are going to hear the real state of the union.  Today, you will hear the truth.

Americans believe that they are the driving force of the greatest free nation on earth, but this is so far from the truth that it's painful.  Americans are neither great nor free.  To be sure, their debt is great.  Their apathy is great.  Their obedience is great.  Their tolerance for injustice is great.  Their desire for comfort is great.  Their denial of truth is great.  But that is not the greatness they started out with and squandered so completely.  That must change, but it cannot change until we examine our situation with a cold, unwavering eye.

American government was designed to allow the voice of the people to rule the nation.  The design was obviously flawed, because today the government rules the people.  The consent of the governed is neither requested nor required -- the people have no voice and no choice.  The government itself is merely the instrument of a few powerful men who control the creation of money for all major nations.  Their endless supply of paper money buys our representatives, our media, and ultimately, our cooperation.  We do not govern because our so-called representatives sell their vote to the highest bidder.  We are not well-informed because our news is selected by the highest bidder.  We are not free because we sell our cooperation to the highest bidder.  And these few powerful men are always the highest bidders.

The quiet overthrow of American freedom was completed in 1913, when a legislative bill written in secret by a conspiring group of international bankers became the law of the land.  The passage of the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act was ensured by the liberal application of money.  By accepting these bribes, the traitorous Congress of that era embarked on a ballooning addiction to graft that endures to this day.

Whereas force was once the engine of slavery, today money is.  The chains that bind us are made of green paper with the words "Federal Reserve Note" emblazoned across the top.  We pursue these chains like mad dogs, deluded in our belief that we need them to be free.  Our enslavement is the inevitable result.

Americans will never know freedom again until the Federal Reserve is dismantled and the sound, debt-free money mandated by the American Constitution is restored.  Only a revolution of mind can bring about that change.  The American people must throw off their green paper chains and destroy the Federal Reserve.  There is no better time than now.  The Federal Reserve has bled the paper dollar of 96% of its value over the past 96 years and is on track to collapse it completely in order to rewind the scam with a new digital currency.  That is their moment of greatest weakness, when their Federal Reserve Notes become practically worthless, and that is when we must strike to regain our long-lost freedom and prosperity.  You have the privilege to be alive during that very moment in history.  Will you help restore freedom to the people?

All that is required for this golden opportunity to be lost is for good men and women to do nothing.  Do something.

Power run amok.

P.S.   The few powerful men that control the Federal Reserve are well aware of their momentary weakness during the transition away from devalued paper money to revalued digital currency.  They realize that at that moment, the entire planet must be completely overwhelmed with monstrous problems that will distract and preoccupy the ordinary people.  These problems will be engineered by the controllers, and will include war, disease, famine, conflict, confusion, uncertainty, and misinformation.  It is no accident that a bio-engineered virus has been deliberately released on the world.  It is no accident that a deadly vaccine was manufactured and shipped by Baxter Labs at the command of the World Health Organization.  It is no accident that populations are sprayed with unknown aerosols in chemtrails.  It is no accident that international conflict is being stirred up.  It is no accident that pneumonic plague is exploding in the Ukraine.  It is no accident that news of these events is being suppressed.  The moment is being carefully prepared so that no strike against the Federal Reserve by the American people can take place.  The stakes are that high, and your freedom, your health, and even your very life must take a backseat to the survival of the money manipulators, as far as they are concerned.  This is a silent, undeclared war against you.  If you do not fight back, your defeat and involuntary servitude are guaranteed.  The moment to strike against the enemy is now.  The Federal Reserve Act must be rescinded.

Nun of your business

Americans are deliberately kept in the dark by shadowy forces that control what is released by the news media.  Can you consider a specific example before you dismiss this as "conspiracy theory"?  Have you heard anything at all about the flu vaccine from Baxter Labs that was designed as a bio-weapon to kill you and your family?  The simple nuns in Catalonia know more about it than you do.  Ask yourself how that is possible.  Heck, you probably don't even know where Catalonia is.  Sure, you know a lot more about the conspiracies on the TV show "Survivor" than they do, but is that going to protect you against a real conspiracy?

Here is a nun explaining what you need to know very clearly and simply, so that even a Catalonian child could understand it.  But many of you will not be able to finish it, because of your conditioning.  For one thing, this nun doesn't fly!  And she never strips down to a bikini!  Incredibly, she remains fully clothed and never even hints at disrobing.  She also talks for more than 30 seconds, exceeding the average American attention span for single-person dialogue.  Even worse, there's no spine-tingling action or eye-popping special effects!  No blowie-upie!  And the ultimate rub -- it's in some incomprehensible foreign language with English subtitles, which means you have to recollect how to read quickly with comprehension!

For the six women remaining that believe they are up to the challenge, I give you the nun:

BELL TOLLING for the Swine Flu (CAMPANAS por la gripe A) subtitled from ALISH on Vimeo.

I wrote about the discovery of this deadly vaccine in a blog a couple of months ago.  Some people dismissed it as absurd, claiming a plot to kill entire populations is without motive and credibility.  What they mean to say is that they can't personally imagine what the motive could be, and it can't be credible unless the mainstream media reports it.  In other words, they've become feeble-minded and brain-washed.  Does that sound like a "useless eater" to you?

Note explaining "useless eaters":  The Committee of 300 sponsored the Global 2000 Report for the President of the United States, which specified the need for programs to reduce the "useless eaters" of the world.  You might imagine that the unemployed are a prime target of these programs, since they are consuming without producing (yep, the very definition of useless eaters), so if vaccines are indeed being turned into weapons of mass destruction, you would expect programs offering free vaccines to the unemployed.  Free vaccines for the jobless!  Right, like that will ever happen...  Oh, wait!  What's this?

Seriously now, it's up to you six women to spread this vital information across the unsuspecting nation.  Otherwise, a lot of us are going to find ourselves sharing a black, plastic FEMA coffin, as corpses.

Full Disclosure

It's all in your mind.

Can a healthy and sustainable society be built on lies?

We are already seeing that a healthy and sustainable economy cannot be built on the lie of paper currency that has no underlying value.  Ever since the private, for-profit Federal Reserve was deceitfully engineered into existence by the international bankers almost 100 years ago, we have seen an explosion of military expansion, wars, conflicts, and foreign intervention.  A never-ending series of booms and busts has rocked our country, and economic insanities like gold confiscation (in 1933), irresponsible deficit spending, excessive expansion of the money supply, unimaginable debt, clandestine government drug-running to fund black operations, monstrous gambling (derivatives), and criminal bailouts of selected private banks have all contributed to shrink the dollar down to a tiny percentage of its original value.

The economic lie alone is enough destroy any society, but that is only the tip of the iceberg for Americans.  Scientific discoveries are routinely classified as secrets.  Even in 1943, all of Nikola Tesla's notes were seized after his death by the government to become top secret documents denied to the public.  All the fruit that Tesla's seized work has since produced also remains highly classified to this day.  The same can be said of the most secret Nazi scientific project, the Bell Project, or Die Glocke.  Political intrigue and treason have run rampant with impunity by being hidden in the shadows.  American leaders have been assassinated in broad daylight and the truth covered up with lies (JFK, RFK, MLK), wars that could have been avoided were allowed to unroll at horrific costs (Pearl Harbor), and unpopular agendas have been pushed through on the coattails of false-flag attacks (9/11).  Even certain off-world information is off-limits.  UFO sightings, crashes, bodies, and contacts are suppressed and belittled.  Crop circles beyond human capability or understanding are pushed aside and ignored.  Anomalous discoveries on the Moon and Mars have been altered, censored, or erased before being released to the public.  Only the banal and inconsequential are reported to the masses with any degree of accuracy, like the sporting event scores or the reality show results.  For the masses, the lies and the truth merge into indistinguishable mush.  And that is no accident.

Take a good look around.  Do we have a healthy and sustainable society?

Far, far from it....

Towards full disclosure

Sylvia says

Psychics need not apply?

Of course I don't believe what psychics say.  As a boy, I was busy doing experiments with my chemistry set in my basement laboratory located in a closet under the stairs.  I experimented with making gunpowder, looked into nitroglycerin, but ended up making smoke bombs and selling them to the other kids in the neighborhood, which was quite the profitable business.  I was horrified when my mother found out and insisted that I return the money.  I never did, because that was simply too unjust, since the smoke bombs had already been consumed and enjoyed by the buyers.  When not in the lab or at the drugstore purchasing chemicals, I collected rocks of every type, learning their chemical composition and properties.  Science was my religion, books were my teachers, and the library was my treasury.  In high school, I discovered physics and computers, and the future seemed to spill open.  I went on to study physics and chemistry in college, while grabbing as much psychology and French as I could squeeze into five years.  I was the quintessential scientist that no psychic could sway.

I also read lots of biographies as a boy that influenced me, including George Washington Carver, the humble but gifted scientist who worked with peanuts, and Harry Houdini, the magician and escape artist.  Houdini in particular was a serious researcher of psychics, and his knowledge of the magic trade allowed him to expose them as charlatans and frauds every time, despite his burning desire to find a legitimate psychic.  The lesson was that both physics and psychics provided answers, but only one of them was right.

So why am I reading a book by psychic Sylvia Browne called "Secrets and Mysteries of the World"?  An unscientific friend of mine is a big fan of Sylvia, and when I rattle on about the things I've seen on the Internet about secret labs and projects, UFOs, EBEs, constructions on the Moon and Mars, and other esoteric subjects, my friend often chimes in with "Sylvia says..."  Naturally, I'm hardly interested in what Sylvia has to say, who gets much of her information from her spirit guide named Francine.  After a while, though, I couldn't help but notice that Sylvia always had something to say about the same thing I was studying, like crop circles, ancient civilizations, or catastrophic planetary changes.  So when my friend gave me the book with an itemized list of pages to read about what Sylvia had to say on these subjects, I relented.

Strange as it may sound, given that Sylvia and I come from completely different foundations, many of our tentative conclusions are quite similar.  The chapter on "The Pyramids and the Sphinx", which was not even on my itemized list, was the most interesting for me, and by the end of that chapter, I had gained a passing respect for her "imaginary" friend, Francine.  Yes, it's true.  How could a voice in Sylvia's head win me over?  It was a single sentence that Sylvia throws in "as an aside" enclosed in parentheses, something that Francine had mentioned to Sylvia related to reincarnation:

"As an aside, Francine did say that anyone who comes to this planet is the bravest of the brave and learns faster than anywhere else because this is the insane asylum of the universe."

Francine, we need to meet.

 

Assassin

"Attorney William Pepper conducted a 20-year investigation of MLK's assassination as attorney for the King family.  His work culminated in two trials.  The first, this one unofficial, proved that James Earl Ray did not kill Dr. King.  The second, a civil trial in 1999, resulted in a judgement against one of the government intelligence co-conspirators and put into the public record proof of extensive government involvement in the assassination.  The controlled media has never bothered to report the facts of the case." -- Rock Creek Free Press (October 2009, page 7)

Government involvement in the assassination of Martin Luther King?!  And the mainstream media hasn't said a word about it in 10 years!  If the real assassins of John F. Kennedy or Robert Kennedy were also found to be part of a government "operation", would the mainstream media also remain silent?  Yes, they would, and they have.  And if the cold-blooded murderers of thousands of Americans on 9/11 turned out to be part of a government operation, would the mainstream media remain silent?  Same answer.  It happens over and over again, and Americans simply pay it no mind.  No mind!  Mindless!

We are taught to believe Americans will defend their beloved country from aggressors both foreign and domestic.  Many in government service have sworn a solemn oath to that effect.  No one, not Afghans, not Iraqis, not Israelis, not Congressmen, not Presidents, not intelligence operatives, and especially not incredibly rich and powerful international bankers, will be allowed to bring America to her knees!

So why are we falling to our knees?

"I can talk the hind end off a donkey..."

 

Obama to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize?  Are you kidding me!?  There are so many other more-deserving candidates!  The President of Somalia, for instance, or Osama bin Laden, or even George W. Bush!  If this news story is not glaring evidence of the facade that is being pulled over our eyes by the controlling global elite to hide the truth, then I must already be dying and my oxygen-starved brain is playing out its final hallucination.  Obama has broken nearly every promise he made during his presidential campaign.  In other words, he's a big-time liar!  He has continued the empire-building, war-mongering program of the last goof-ball Commander-In-Chief, who as coincidence would have it was also a big-time liar and war-monger, just like his big-time liar war-monger father, "Read my lips" George H. W. Bush.  Does anybody see a pattern here?  Let me have the honor of spelling it out for those of you who, like the Nobel Prize selection committee, are either exceptionally weak at pattern-matching or are being paid off under the table:  LIES and WAR!  Do you hand out Nobel Peace Prizes for that!?  Well, do ya, punk!?

Sure, I know what Americans will say.  "I don't really care, and there's nothing I can do about it anyway."  Do you see why the ruling elite continually up the ante and do ever-more outrageous nonsense like give Obama the highest peace prize possible?  They are conditioning us all to not care and do nothing about it!  That's the way they want their slaves to be:  uncaring and feeling helpless.  We are to be mindless working robots serving our money-masters 40 or more hours per week, numb to whatever cruel conditions they impose on us.  Wake up, you pathetic slaves!  It's time to revolt!

"We don't care.  There's nothing we can do about it anyway.  Hey, what's on TV?  Dancing with the Stars?  Sweet!"

(That sound is me gagging and choking on my disgust and anger.)

Fooled again

"All problems that exist in our world today emanate from the fact that rulers have distanced themselves from human values, morality, and the teachings of divine messengers.  Regrettably, in the current state of international relations, selfishness and insatiable greed have taken the place of such humanitarian concepts as love, sacrifice, dignity, and justice."

Who said this?  Mahatma Gandhi?  Nelson Mandela?  Alexander Solzhenitsyn?  Bobby Kennedy?  Martin Luther King?

If the President of the United States made a speech with these words, the mainstream media would cover it by every means available, and the President would be hailed for months afterwards as a hero!  The American people would proudly bask in their self-righteousness, secure in the knowledge that they were the moral leaders of the world.

Unfortunately, the President of the United States did not make this speech.  Regardless, he will be hailed for months afterwards as a hero by the mainstream media on every available channel.  The American people will proudly bask in their self-righteousness, secure in the knowledge that they are the moral leaders of the world.

The truth is something quite different, however.  The President that did make this speech will be vilified by the mainstream media.  Plans to invade his country and undermine his leadership have been prepared by the United States government.  His words and the basic truth of his message will be withheld from the American people.  Only through the Internet, the renegade communications medium that governments are still struggling to control, where individuals still have a voice that has yet to be silenced, will the words of this President find any real outlet.  Hear these words that your leaders would deny you.  Ask yourself why this President's message is censored.  Is this man your enemy, as the United States government would have you believe, or is he your brother in the fight against those that would oppress you?

The countries of Argentina, Australia, Britain, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand and the United States walked out on the speaker during his address.  Israel called for a boycott of the speech and is backed by Canada.  Could it be that all these countries support the oppression and evil that this man rightfully condemns?

Take your medicine

Posted:  9/11/2009

The same thing happened with the concentration camps in Nazi Germany where millions of Jews were murdered in the Zyklon-B "showers" and burned in brick ovens to a fine ash.  Those outsiders that heard anything about the exterminations couldn't believe it was possible.  Until the advancing American soldiers overran the camps and documented the atrocities on film, the story was too monstrous to believe.

If anyone had revealed in advance the Nazi intention to kill so many innocent people, the response would have been nearly universal.  "That's ridiculous.  No one could possibly murder millions and millions of innocent Jews.  The logistics alone would be overwhelming.  The Jews would resist anyway and fight back.  You are obviously an idiot."

No one will believe this either, and that's exactly what "they" are counting on so that it will work.  Only the sickest of minds would genetically engineer an influenza virus, deliberately release it onto an unsuspecting global population, spread fear and misinformation about the illness in the mass media, declare a global pandemic emergency of the highest order, and then forcibly vaccinate the frightened masses, supposedly for the good of humanity.  Already the picture is beyond belief even before you learn that the vaccine contains additives designed to weaken the human immune system.  Those vaccinated would be at greater risk to the effects of any and all viruses, including the common cold, not to mention the H1N1 virus the vaccine is allegedly designed to protect against.  And the coup de grace would be the revelation that the vaccine contains live, virulent avian flu viruses, which can easily kill any person with a compromised immune system!

"That's ridiculous.  No one could possibly murder hundreds of millions of innocent people.  The logistics alone would be overwhelming.  The people would resist anyway and fight back.  You are obviously an idiot."

Before you stand passively in line with all your neighbors to get your low-cost (possibly free) flu vaccine from the fascist government that cares for you from cradle to early grave, you had better listen carefully to the modern "Paul Revere" who is warning you that the enemy is coming.

Update:  9/23/2009

Wouldn't it be great if this was just a bad dream that we could wake up from?  As comforting as that would be, the truth is that it is getting more and more real and alarming.  We are being quietly set up for forced vaccinations, and it's not being done to keep us healthy.  After all, if the vaccine was truly meant to keep us healthy, why would the H1N1 virus be artificially created and deliberately released in the first place?  This global, coordinated, forced vaccination program is some kind of delivery system.  Whether it is designed to weaken our immune systems, kill us indirectly, or get us chipped (either by injecting nanochips into our bodies, or by tagging us through RFID bracelets or some other method), we don't really know.  What is clear to anyone who researches this is that all the dominoes have been set into position, and all that's left to do is topple the first one to set things in motion.  And the end result will be to our detriment.

If the New World Order was Dirty Harry, it would say, "You've got to ask yourself one question:  Do I feel lucky?  Well, do ya, punk?"  Only this time, the enforcer holding the gun (and syringe) positively knows it is loaded.  Whether we feel lucky or not won't change the outcome.  We had better act before we find ourselves in that awkward confrontation.

More warnings from ordinary individuals who appear to have little motivation to lie:

 

Who are you going to believe, the NWO-controlled mainstream media, or ordinary people?

Note to English grammar aficionados:  I have deliberately ignored (three times) the archaic rules on subjective verb tense in my above writing.  The use of the subjective tense is already dead in spoken English, and I would prefer that it die completely, so I'm not going to support its use.  Once the dominoes fall, no one is going to care anyway.

Cover up

One of the most common arguments against 9/11 being an "inside job" is that if there really was a conspiracy, then why doesn't anyone on the inside come forward and expose the secret?  Well, they do, but not very often.  Why not often?  The real 9/11 conspirators weren't concerned about killing thousands of innocent civilians on 9/11, so do you think they would hesitate to kill anyone that might have inside information and a guilty conscience?  Potential whistle-blowers know their lives would be at risk, and that's quite the incentive to keep your mouth shut.  Besides, the intelligence services behind 9/11 specialize in secretly killing people, and they have many ways to make murder look like a suicide, an accident, a stroke, or a heart attack.  Even when whistle-blowers do come forward, almost no one hears about it.  The mainstream media isn't going to help, as there is clearly an element of complicity in their dissemination of government propaganda and their suppression of certain undesirable news.  People have indeed died mysteriously while digging up 9/11 "dirt," or they have been silenced in other ways, and it never gets reported in the mainstream news.  Essentially, there is a secretive mafia-type organization behind 9/11 with the added advantage of running a huge, legal counterfeiting ring (the Federal Reserve) that has allowed them over the past 96 years to purchase not only the so-called "free press," but also Congress and just about anything else they desire.  What a powerful cartel for any individual to oppose.

So it is little wonder that no one heard about the North Dakota Air National Guard pilot I mentioned who fired the missle that destroyed United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001.  And few people will hear the words of the young woman interviewed below who was in the room when the decision was made to shoot down Flight 93, which had violated the no-fly zone over the secret military installation known as Site "R".

Next (Part 2 of 5)

Site "R" is another of the underground military bases like the ones that I wrote about earlier.  It's an older facility much like NORAD, built in the 1950s, but unlike NORAD, it is still a fairly well-kept secret.  At least, I had never heard of it until I listened to the interview and googled it on the Internet.  Interestingly enough, I also read additional information there about the nuclear-powered tunneling machines that melt through rock to create the tunnels that link the DUMBs (Deep Underground Military Bases) hidden beneath our feet all over the country that are themselves well-kept secrets.  The secrets kept from the American people have become so numerous that we must be kept "drugged" on a steady diet of mindless entertainment and misinformation, lest we "wake up" and discover the truth.  And the sad part is that most Americans are perfectly satisfied with the drug-induced state, and only become aggressive and threatening when the drug starts to wear off, as when faced with some uncomfortable truths, like some found in this article.  Now there's a real Catch-22.

OK, I realize that the demand for depressing news is low.  To get a conceptual and entertaining idea of how the world has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth, I recommend watching The Matrix again, and then study some of the philosophy behind the movie.  Most importantly, question everything, as if you were living in the Matrix.  After all, things are not what they appear to be, are they...

Crisis ahead

(Originally published June 4, 2009)

"What we have are a group of criminal bankers who are so desperate to prop-up their criminal manipulations for a few more months that they are engaging in brazen acts without even a veil of plausibility."

We all wondered why the massive bank bailouts seemed so suspicious, even outright criminal.  Manipulations in another arena of banking, the gold market, have also been so blatant that one investigator made the above statement.

So, criminal bankers are trying to hold on for a few more months, and to do so they chose to quickly sell over one million ounces of gold at a lower price than they paid, and this while the price of gold is steadily rising.  Does that sound like a normal banking procedure to you?  What happens in a few more months that the bankers are preparing for?  You're not going to like it, and when it hits, those responsible will pretend to be as stunned as everyone else, even though these criminals (the international bankers and their government cronies) have been planning this for many years!  This is a big, complicated plan, and hints of what is coming have leaked out.  Here are some more pieces to the puzzle:

While waiting for a job interview at a California police department in March 2009, a man overheard a meeting between FEMA and police officials.  FEMA said they were there to prep the department for government takeover, because all police departments will be "federalized" when the American banking system shuts down around August or September 2009!  YouTube has since pulled the video -- I guess they are just looking out for our best interests.

An extraordinary meeting of the bankers' government cronies took place in Moscow on March 22, 2009.  When pressed by Russian president Medvedev on the plans to ensure that American citizens don't revolt when the banking system is deliberately collapsed, Henry Kissinger reportedly replied, "By September we’ll have confiscated all privately owned guns so it really doesn’t matter what we do, we’ll still be in charge".

Lindsey Williams revealed in the summer of 2008, when oil was at $145 a barrel, that the price of oil would be deliberately manipulated in the Fall of 2008 to less than $50 a barrel and kept there for six to nine months in order to force the Saudi oil cartel to default on major bank loans, allowing the international bankers to confiscate Saudi Arabian oil assets.  Though no one believed him at the time, the price of oil did plummet unexpectedly to under $50 a barrel, eventually hitting $35, and stayed under $50 for six months, despite growing global demand and short supplies.  The time frame for the expected Saudi default:  around August 2009.  Note that Lindsey had his life and the lives of his family threatened by an oil bigwig that he personally knew well, prompting him to withdraw all his books from the market and shut down his website.

For the last nine months, the silver market has been manipulated even more than the gold market, and the international banks are heavily involved.  The game is almost up as demand is still high, supply is still low, but the price of silver has been heavily suppressed by international banks trading much more paper silver than there is existing silver.  When that house of cards does collapse, the banking system could very well do the same.

By now you should recognize the pattern -- crisis, reaction, solution.  Your government uses this plan over and over, and Americans fall for it every time.  9/11 was a good example.  Criminal elements within the government planned and executed the 9/11 crisis, knowing that the "shock and awe" reaction would have Americans crying out for a solution, which the criminal elements had prepared well in advance (plans to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, and legislation to strip Americans of their rights in exchange for "security" while strengthening government control).

The next crisis is coming around September.  The American banking system will collapse and be shut down.  Americans, on the brink of panic, will plead for a solution from the Obama administration.  Of course, the solution has already been prepared, but no sane American would ever accept it under normal conditions, so conditions must be created to make us thankful for any solution.  A new currency is coming, and a new Ponzi scheme benefiting the international banks will be set in motion to continue the economic fleecing of the American sheeple.

Something wicked

There's a war going on, with deadly serious consequences, and you are part of it.  You are either directly engaged, or you are a pawn being manipulated by those who are.  Humanity has recognized this conflict since its beginning, and powerful institutions, like religions and governments, have been created in humanity's defense.  But this war is being lost, because those institutions, our defenses, have been compromised and corrupted by the enemy.  What is this war?  It is the battle of good versus evil.  Why does it matter to you?  Because the quality of your life, and maybe even your life itself, and the lives of all the people you care about, hang in the balance.

So, which side are you on?

To answer this question, we must define the sides.  The dividing line between good and bad is the Golden Rule stated in its negative form -- "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you."  This simple maxim defines the floor for what is good and the ceiling for what is bad (think of the bad being down in the basement, and the good being on the main floor).  Evil is simply bad taken to an extreme (think of a putrid sub-basement pit).

The founding fathers of the government of the United States drew a line in the sand dividing bad from evil when they wrote the Declaration of Independence.  "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."  Evil may be defined then by doing to others that which denies them their lives, their liberty, their ability to pursue happiness, or any of their other unalienable rights.  Killing innocent people, like the United States is doing in Afghanistan and Iraq, is evil.  Imprisoning innocent people, like the United States is doing in Guantanamo Bay and in other off-shore secret prisons, is evil.  Forcing all Americans to labor many hours to finance these criminal activities, as the tax laws of the United States do, is evil.  How is it that our government, originally designed to support the common good, could become an instrument of evil?

The Bible tells us how.  "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." (1 Timothy 6: 7-10)  When a private organization controls the creation of money, evil will naturally congregate there, because money is the tool needed to convince good people to do evil things.  In the United States, that private organization is the Federal Reserve, and it is the bastion of evil that clandestinely steers the government into directing Americans to do evil.  Good American men and women serve as soldiers to defend our country, yet because they are trained to obey orders in the pursuit of their daily bread, they obediently invade sovereign countries and take innocent lives.  Good American men and women serve our justice system, yet because they are paid and need to earn a living, they torture those labeled as enemies and deny them access to real justice.  And good American men and women serve the IRS, yet because they are dependent on a paycheck, they consent to ruining the lives of others when commanded to do so.  But is money all it takes to make good people serve evil?

No.  Another ingredient is needed:  deception.  Just as a wolf in sheep's clothing gains the trust of its next victim, evil pretends to be as good and innocent as a country mom.  Pleasant, smiling faces explain in soothing terms why bailouts, deficits, surveillance, new rules, more prisons, and more wars are necessary, and why you must pay for these things with another portion of your unalienable rights.  The evil people must convince the good people that everyone is united in service to the common good.  The soldiers are told that they are fighting to defend the freedoms of their loved ones.  The police, jailers, and torturers are told that they are enforcing the laws necessary for civilization and harmony to exist.  The civil servants that participate in stealing from the poor to give to the rich are told that fairness demands their actions.  All are subjected to pervasive public propaganda designed to deceive and control.  And it is working.  Evil is winning.  Can it be stopped?

In the battle of good versus evil, evil appears to be on the verge of winning. If you have been paying attention, you can feel it, even if you can't see it.

"You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world.  You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad." -- Morpheus, from "The Matrix"

"We are, right now, on the precipice.  We are teetering on the brink of one of these two realities.  On one side lies salvation, and on the other, oblivion, while in our hands lies the choice.  Look around you.  This battle has been raging for many, many years.  People are just kept distracted by design, so for the most part, they haven't yet noticed.  Free yourself of the distraction though, and it becomes very obvious and quite plain to see."

And so I asked, can evil be stopped?  I believe that if you understand the mechanism by which evil operates, and you stop the mechanism, evil will be stopped dead in its tracks.  This does not eliminate evil, however.  Evil always regroups, and like water seeking a crack to leak through, it will search for other mechanisms, other ways to gain strength and grow.  But a properly constructed glass holds water quite handily, and evil can be similarly contained.  We have learned that the current mechanism by which evil rules is through the creation of money by a private cartel, and through the control of information.  Access to an unlimited supply of money provides the mechanism of control, and the ability to disseminate lies and suppress truth (financed by all that free money) provides the mechanism of deception.  In a capitalistic world commanded by money, the heart of the beast is the central bank system where money is created out of thin air and used to purchase the cooperation of the masses.  Remove the heart, and the beast dies.  But for this to happen, more of us must know to recognize the beast, and know how it thrives.  The beast, of course, will fill our ears with lies, and cover our eyes to the truth, and do everything it can to deny us this knowledge.  Knowledge is power.  It is our power.  Uncover it, reclaim it, spread it, and wield it against evil!

"The truth will set you free.  My friends, stop complying with this system.  It's time to wake up."

Conspiracy theories debunked!

Conspiracies exist.  The false-flag terrorist attack on Phnom Penh airport concocted by the Nixon administration to pull Laos into the Vietnam war is a typical example.  Conspiracy theories also exist.  The deliberately false cover story for that operation, that North Vietnamese troops were responsible for the attack, is a typical example.  The media and the history books report the conspiracy theory as fact, while only criminal insiders know of the true conspiracy.

Government conspiracies still exist today.  The 9/11 false-flag terrorist attack concocted by the Bush administration to provide an excuse to invade Iraq and Afghanistan and grab power by eroding the Constitutional rights of all Americans is a typical example.  Government conspiracy theories also exist.  The deliberately false cover story for that operation, that Muslim terrorists were responsible for the attack, is a typical example.  The media and the history books report the conspiracy theory as fact, while only criminal insiders know of the true conspiracy.

Any serious research into the anomalies of 9/11 makes it perfectly clear that the U.S. government lied big-time to the American people.  Now why would they do that?  Every criminal lies to cover up his crime and divert the blame onto someone else.  The U.S. government is no different.  And like any scenario based on lies, the damage is carried forward into the future with unceasing momentum.

So it's no wonder that the irony of the crime of 9/11 just won't quit.  The latest news is that the U.S. government will be forcing property owners in Pennsylvania to sell their land so that the National Park Service can open a 2200 acre monument dedicated to the victims of United Flight 93.  That's right, the government will be confiscating land from private citizens to build a monument to the victims of a crime that it committed!

The government conspiracy theory is that Flight 93 crashed as passengers wrestled with Muslim terrorists for control of the hijacked plane.  The real conspiracy is known only to criminal insiders, but eyewitnesses reported no airplane wreckage or bodies at the crash site, and independent examination of the crash site has been severely restricted ever since 9/11!  A North Dakota Air National Guard pilot has claimed he fired the missile that exploded Flight 93 in mid-air, and he reportedly was honored for his actions at an award ceremony.  Bet you didn't see that on TV!

Another thing you won't see on TV is any report of a new Danish study analyzing dust samples collected from ground zero on 9/11.  Using standard scientific techniques, they found conclusive evidence that explosive thermite compounds were used in the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7.  In other words, there is solid proof that the buildings were brought down by pre-planted explosives, i.e. a conspiracy.  The American public will, of course, be kept in the dark on this.  The U.S. government can hardly afford to have its official conspiracy theory exposed as the elaborate criminal lie that it really is.

How much worse can it get?  I'm afraid the answer is -- a lot worse.  Think of the United States following in the footsteps of Nazi Germany, only this time with the benefit of the lessons of history behind it.

Note:  The "bodies" link above has been censored by MySpace.  Evidently, someone doesn't want you to see the information presented there.  Basically, Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller, the first coroner at the crash site, said he was stunned at how small the crater was. "I stopped being coroner after about 20 minutes," Miller said, "because there were no bodies there."  The censored link is http://www.iamthewitness.com/Bollyn/Bollyn-TheHollywoodFantasyofFlight93.html.

On Having Faith

Again, they have sinned...

Listen, people.  This is no time to take comfort in your faith.  You may believe that by accepting Jesus as your savior, you can shed your earthly responsibilities and leave your fate in the hands of almighty God.  The problem is, your enemy is counting on you to do just that.  You see, your enemy uses comfort as a weapon.  He does everything possible to make sure you are comfortable by providing mindless entertainment, surprising distractions, consoling news, inexpensive and readily available "comfort" food, and most of all, soothing beliefs.  And when you are quite comfortable, despite the disturbing events raging around you, it is then that your enemy delivers the coup de grace.  Remember the Jews in Germany, how they left their homes, patiently boarded the trains, and walked quietly and orderly into the gas chambers?  They had great faith that their God would provide for them, when in fact evil men orchestrated their fate.

There are evil men today with the awesome power to create money out of nothing who use that money to manipulate judges, lawmakers, and leaders in the highest offices of the land.  These evil men have plans for you, either to enslave you and make you into a faithful servant, or to dispose of you if your loyalty cannot be turned to their selfish purposes.  And they know that the people with strong religious faith cannot be turned to do their bidding and will have to be exterminated.  Only now, the evil ones are much more sophisticated than the Nazis, so there will be no need to board trains to be transported to your death.  No, your death will be delivered to your door, perhaps in the very air you breathe, so that the comfort you find so soothing becomes the means to guarantee your quiet demise.

By focusing on Jesus and your personal salvation, you lose sight of the true evil in the world that is targeting you, the people you care for, and all the unborn descendants of such good people.  By turning your back on the world to concentrate on your personal salvation through "Jesus Christ, our Lord", you allow evil to sweep away the distracted forces of good like so much dust.  This must not be permitted.  The forces of good must not be allowed to wallow in their comfortable faith while evil cuts them down.  Many African tribesmen believed the white man's bullet could not harm them because powerful magic would protect them.  These warriors were cut down easily, and the families they were trying to protect were left defenseless.  The same will happen to the religious faithful who think accepting Jesus is the solution to all problems.  It's not.  It's a big part of the problem.  There is a crucial battle occurring between good and evil.  Take part!  "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

The problem with communication

I used to think that communicating with the written word would be easy.  After all, we share a common language and a common culture (please excuse my blatant ethnocentrism).  Likewise, writing allows revisions and adjustments that should encourage greater clarity.  However, extended "conversations" with others on MySpace have changed my mind (particularly debates I've had with Zephram Stark and Over Unity).  At first, I thought this difficulty with language was because we are all idiots.  I still have difficulties getting past this perspective.  However, I also recognize that I suffer from the human tendency to oversimplify things, which of course is aggravated by living in a universe of mind-boggling complexity.  Realigning myself to that complexity, I now believe that it's incredibly hard to communicate, perhaps because it appears so easy and we take for granted a common foundation that is partly illusion.  So I certainly understand Zephram's desire to clarify things by creating a new lexicon, but I don't believe it's going to be useful to do so.  Let me explain.

Because of the way we learn language, there are often subtle differences in the meanings that each of us assigns to words.  People learn language from actual usage, not from defined lexicon.  We analyze context and use pattern matching to acquire meaning.  As a result, the meanings we assemble vary from person to person.  We learn very few words from a dictionary, and even a dictionary is just an incomplete record of the confusion that language carries.  After all, a dictionary uses words to define other words, the very definition of circular reference.  It doesn't help that words often have multiple meanings that are hard to tie down.  For example, an intelligence agency hires people of higher intelligence to gather intelligence.  And now Zephram has suggested another meaning for "intelligence," supposedly to make things clearer.  And he wants to give it a meaning that is already assigned to some extent to another word or words, as Over Unity correctly points out.  No thanks - I must politely refuse the new lexicon.  But I understand that Zephram sees the same problem that I see, a problem that has caused all of us great consternation, not only on MySpace but in many other areas of life.  The problem is that we too often find ourselves using the same words but speaking different languages without even being aware of it.  Unfortunately, we are analog creatures that lack the precision of digital machines.  We use "fuzzy language" in much the same manner that we use "fuzzy logic", and both get us into a lot of trouble, but they allow us to explore ideas that digital thinking could never take us to.  Of course, the flip-side is that we waste a lot of time exploring ideas that digital thinking would quickly eliminate.  So as analog creatures, our journey towards knowledge is richer and much more entertaining, but painfully slow.

My father tells me that when I was a very young boy, I brought him my tricycle and asked him to fix the seat.  "Do you want to lower it?" he asked.  "No, I want to higher it," I replied confidently.  That should have been my first clue that language was going to chew me up and spit me out, but I simply couldn't fathom how rocky a road I was to travel.  As you can see, I'm still trying to figure it out.

Idiot

Imagine that you could line up all the idiots in the world in rank order, with the most idiotic at the head of the line and the least idiotic at the tail.  I submit to you that we would all be somewhere in that line.  Being closer to the tail end of the line is of little consolation, because after all, this is a line of idiots, and you are in it.  Some of you will refuse to believe that you belong in this line, but rest assured, there is a place reserved for you near the head of the line.  You might even be convinced that there is a line for smart people somewhere, and that you rightfully belong in that line instead.  There is such a line, but it's the same line you are standing in - you need only view it in reverse rank order.  But by viewing it in this way, you simply choose to aggrandize your self-importance, essentially choosing arrogance over humility.  Humans often do that, you know.  So if you disagree with something I write, think it over carefully and please take the time to enlighten me as to why you disagree.  Your feedback is actually one of the ways that I change my position in the line.  Amazingly enough, it's also one of the ways that you change your position in the line.  Note that I didn't say whether our rankings improve or worsen.  And if enlightening me is too much trouble, you can surely take comfort in pointing out that I must be an idiot.  Humans often do that, you know.

Saving America

What ails us...
(only we have a new vampire now)

America's economy is being destroyed.  We need a plan to save our country.  I'm not hearing anyone suggest any simple plans that are doable, so I'm about to suggest one.  I want you to tell me why you think this plan will or will not work.

1. When government is bankrupting itself and our country, we need a common sense solution.  Freeze all government spending, budgets, and salaries.  Stop all government borrowing and the creation of new money.  Stop the bleeding, and do it now.

2. The federal government is too big, too powerful, and too self-serving.  Starting one year after the freeze, for at least the next 25 years, all government spending, budgets, and salaries will be reduced by 1% each year, automatically, with no exceptions.

3. The common people are paying too much tax to support a corrupted government that feeds on them like a monster parasite.  Raise the personal (and business) tax exemption to $100,000 so that no federal taxes are owed on the first $100,000 earned.  Throw off the parasite and let the common people prosper again.

4. The rich people are paying too little tax to a government that they currently manipulate and profit from.  Raise the personal (and business) income tax rate for those earning more than one million dollars to 35%, over 10 million dollars to 65%, and over 100 million dollars to 90%.

Will that do it?  Is it that simple?  Can America be saved in four simple steps?

Socialist !

I've been accused of being a socialist.  At first, I didn't quite know what to make of it, as the definition of socialism appears to be so broad and vague that it is hard to pin down.  Generally these accusations come whenever I propose changes that would be beneficial to all of society, meaning all people.  An example might be the universal availability of low-cost health care.  One would think that it would be beneficial to both society and individuals to promote health and deal efficiently with debilitating injuries and disease.  And when I say "deal efficiently," I'm thinking along the lines of the Golden Rule, which I believe is universally recognized as the cornerstone of any cooperative social organization.  In my mind, universal health care would appear to be "socialist," if socialism is defined as organizing to provide desired benefits to all individuals of a society.  And yet the implied connotation when I've been called a socialist is that I have evil or vile intent.

Other minds have considered the question of how to best organize society without diminishing the individual.  One of those minds eerily predicted the economic and social crisis that we are faced with today in the United States (and in most other countries):

"Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones.  The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society.  This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature.  The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population.  Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education).  It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."

I have long decried the overpowering economic control of the international central bankers, their control of the media, their outright purchasing of our government representatives and so-called public servants, the deliberate dumbing down of America, and the orchestrated mind control of the masses.  It appears someone agrees with me.  The above quotation was written 60 years ago by one of the most respected thinkers of the 20th century - Albert Einstein.  He was considering the problem humanity has struggled with for a very long time - overcoming what Thorstein Veblen called "the predatory phase" of human development.  How can we move beyond the dog-eat-dog world of competition to the more egalitarian world of cooperation?  Einstein clearly saw capitalism as a manifestation of unhealthy competition, and he argued that a socialist approach was the only cure:

"This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism.  Our whole educational system suffers from this evil.  An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.  I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals."

In order to ensure that social goals are pursued, a socialist economy will require an accurate feedback loop between individuals and the organization charged with guiding economic policy.  The details of this organization and the feedback loop are yet to be designed, but it is clear that the design must be inherently self-correcting in the same manner as the Golden Rule.  This is no easy task, as one need only look at the capitalist fable of the "invisible hand of the market" that was supposed to efficiently regulate excesses and likewise be self-correcting.  In actual practice, however, capitalists found it all too easy to manipulate markets, and this behavior was positively reinforced by their own self-interests with no mechanism to limit those self-interests, resulting in the very excesses "the invisible hand of the market" was meant to prevent.

Would it be more correct to define socialism as the means of organizing a society for maximum individual and social benefit?  If so, then I am hoping to become the best socialist I can be.

USA - RIP

Our government is an absolute mess.  It's dying.  It has reached the point where insanity is commonplace.  Can it be fixed?  I'm inclined to think not.  Just as bailouts can't save the banks (their obligations exceed the value of everything in the world, which they don't quite own yet), anything we do now is too little, too late.  However, we should learn from the mistakes that brought us here.  What were the mistakes, and what changes could have prevented them?

The source of most mistakes is Congress - the House of Representatives and the Senate.  The biggest mistake Congress makes is borrowing money.  Congress can't control spending because there is no limit to the amount it can borrow.  So a new rule is needed in the next Constitution - government may not borrow money or incur any debt.  I can't think of a better or more simple rule to limit government size and power.  It also weakens the control the central bankers have over our government.

Legislation currently passes in Congress by a simple majority - let's change that to a 75% majority.  The higher the percentage, the harder it is to pass controversial bills and engage in party politics.  And the less Congress will get done (that's a good thing).  Complex bills that are too long to read must be prohibited.  Let's keep it simple by limiting legislative bills to a single subject and a single page (500 words or less).  And one more important fix - disallow legislation that benefits special interest groups.  Bye-bye lobbyists and "pork".

As for the executive branch, we should strip the President of the power to pardon - this just encourages the executive branch to hire people to commit crimes for them.  In fact, let's just get rid of the president and vice-president.  They serve no real purpose and are simply holdovers from the days of royalty.  We'll save a huge amount of money by eliminating presidential elections.  Congress can handle the duties performed by these two talking heads, and in one fell swoop, we eliminate the two biggest liars in government.

Finally, the judicial branch.  Our laws are impossibly complex and too numerous.  This has to be changed, but how?  My head hurts, so I'll leave this one as an exercise for the reader.  In other words, help!

My John Hancock

There are rumblings in this nation, and rightfully so.  The crimes are heinous, the injustice intolerable, and the deception disgusting.  The dystopia foreseen in 1949 by George Orwell, portrayed in his book 1984, is upon us in living color.  Those Americans still capable of independent thought and critical analysis are searching for answers.  It is not unexpected that they should look back into the past at the example set by their illustrious forefathers, who on July 4, 1776 publicly declared their independence from the oppressive government that ruled over them.

I have come down that same path and arrived at that same destination.  I no longer accept the government forced upon me, and I too feel the need to declare my independence.  I started to take matters into my own hands and began to write my own declaration, but then I stopped.  Surely others have preceded me, and this new Declaration of Independence must already exist.  I need only search for it.  I did, and I promptly found it.  It was very much like what I would have written myself, and I was anxious to add my name to the long list of signatures that would surely accompany this splendid document!  I signed, and then I quickly clicked to view all the other brave souls who would testify to their displeasure with the current government.  Alas, other than the original editors of the document, there was but one signature -- mine.

John Hancock is known to be the first delegate to sign the Declaration of Independence.  What is not widely known is that he was the only delegate to have his name attached to the original type-set copies released to the public.  From the British perspective, the only traitor acknowledging his role in creating the Declaration of Independence was John Hancock, a precarious position indeed for Mister Hancock!  It took six long months before a second series of type-set copies was released to the public with the names of all signers listed.  Most delegate signatures, including John Hancock's written signature, were not collected on paper until nearly a month after the Declaration was written, when a special hand-written parchment copy was signed on August 2, 1776.  This copy was not publicly circulated and is the one displayed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

So, like John Hancock, there is only one "traitor" associated with the new Declaration of Independence, a precarious position indeed for me.  I only hope that I don't have to wait six months to see other signatures join mine.

Lab Rats

(Originally published February 13, 2009 on MySpace.)

Imagine a country where you really have no rights, even though you are told that you do.  There is a modern government, but it is two-faced.  One face is public, providing entertainment and calming reassurance.  The other face is private, classified, and top-secret.  It engages in unspeakable acts, concealing and destroying evidence to guarantee deniability.  The people in this country are considered lab rats by their government, and as such the people are subjected to experimentation without their knowledge.  They are poisoned, irradiated, infected, sickened, debilitated, and even killed.  They are rewarded with treats when they behave in acceptable ways, and they are punished when they do not.  There are stories of abduction, secret imprisonment, and torture, but this only happens to individuals identified by the government as terrorists, and the people of this country know that they are not terrorists, so they don't worry about such stories.  Their government keeps them well misinformed, uneducated, isolated, and dependent.  They are told that they have the most freedom, the highest standard of living, the safest work places, the healthiest food and water, the cleanest environment, the most stable currency, the brightest future, the fairest and most balanced news, and the best in entertainment.  But it's all a lie.  However, the people are so convinced it's true that they will turn on anyone that says anything to the contrary.

Of course, this country is one that we imagined.  The document that follows gives you a peek into some recent history of this fabled country.

We interrupt this bulletin for an important public service announcement:

The United States government would like to thank you for your continuing participation in the biowarfare experimental studies program.  Those that didn't survive have provided us with invaluable statistics that will remain on file long after their families stop mourning.  Those of you still suffering from the effects of the designer pathogens that your tax dollars paid for can take comfort in the knowledge that your malaise drives both the pharmaceutical and health care industries, two important pillars of our national economy.  For those who have yet to feel the effects of previous generation pathogens, rest assured that your government is working feverishly to create new and improved toxins designed especially for you.  Without your contributions, the United States government could not continue to divide and conquer the terrorists opposing us all over the world.  God bless America!

Pathogenic Mycoplasma - A Common Disease Agent Weaponized

by Donald W.  Scott, MA, MSc

There are 200 species of Mycoplasma.  Most are innocuous and do no harm; only four or five are pathogenic.  Mycoplasma fermentans (incognitus strain) probably comes from the nucleus of the Brucella bacterium.  This disease agent is not a bacterium and not a virus; it is a mutated form of the Brucella bacterium, combined with a visna virus, from which the mycoplasma is extracted.

The pathogenic Mycoplasma used to be very innocuous, but biological warfare research conducted between 1942 and the present time has resulted in the creation of more deadly and infectious forms of Mycoplasma.

Researchers extracted this mycoplasma from the Brucella bacterium and actually reduced the disease to a crystalline form.  They "weaponized" it and tested it on an unsuspecting public in North America.

Dr. Maurice Hilleman, chief virologist for the pharmaceutical company Merck Sharp & Dohme, stated that this disease agent is now carried by everybody in North America and possibly most people throughout the world.

Despite reporting flaws, there has clearly been an increased incidence of all the neuro/systemic degenerative diseases since World War II and especially since the 1970s with the arrival of previously unheard-of diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome and AIDS.

According to Dr. Shyh-Ching Lo, senior researcher at The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and one of America’s top mycoplasma researchers, this disease agent causes many illnesses including AIDS, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn’s colitis, Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Wegener’s disease and collagen-vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Charles Engel, who is with the US National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, stated the following at an NIH meeting on February 7, 2000:  "I am now of the view that the probable cause of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia is the mycoplasma…"

I have all the official documents to prove that mycoplasma is the disease agent in chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia as well as in AIDS, multiple sclerosis and many other illnesses.

Of these, 80% are US or Canadian official government documents, and 20% are articles from peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine and the Canadian Medical Association Journal.  The journal articles and government documents complement each other.

How the Mycoplasma Works

The mycoplasma acts by entering into the individual cells of the body, depending upon your genetic predisposition.

You may develop neurological diseases if the pathogen destroys certain cells in your brain, or you may develop Crohn’s colitis if the pathogen invades and destroys cells in the lower bowel.

Once the mycoplasma gets into the cell, it can lie there doing nothing sometimes for 10, 20 or 30 years, but if a trauma occurs like an accident or a vaccination that doesn’t take, the mycoplasma can become triggered.

Because it is only the DNA particle of the bacterium, it doesn’t have any organelles to process its own nutrients, so it grows by uptaking pre-formed sterols from its host cell and it literally kills the cell; the cell ruptures and what is left gets dumped into the bloodstream.

Creation of the Mycoplasma

A Laboratory-Made Disease Agent

Many doctors don’t know about this mycoplasma disease agent because it was developed by the US military in biological warfare experimentation and it was not made public.  This pathogen was patented by the United States military and Dr. Shyh-Ching Lo.  I have a copy of the documented patent from the US Patent Office.¹

All the countries at war were experimenting with biological weapons.  In 1942, the governments of the United States, Canada and Britain entered into a secret agreement to create two types of biological weapons (one that would kill, and one that was disabling) for use in the war against Germany and Japan, who were also developing biological weapons.

While they researched a number of disease pathogens, they primarily focused on the Brucella bacterium and began to weaponize it.

From its inception, the biowarfare program was characterized by continuing in-depth review and participation by the most eminent scientists, medical consultants, industrial experts and government officials, and it was classified Top Secret.

The US Public Health Service also closely followed the progress of biological warfare research and development from the very start of the program, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States were working with the military in weaponizing these diseases.

These are diseases that have existed for thousands of years, but they have been weaponized — which means they’ve been made more contagious and more effective.  And they are spreading.

The Special Virus Cancer Program, created by the CIA and NIH to develop a deadly pathogen for which humanity had no natural immunity (AIDS), was disguised as a war on cancer but was actually part of MKNAOMI.²  Many members of the Senate and House of Representatives do not know what has been going on.

For example, the US Senate Committee on Government Reform had searched the archives in Washington and other places for the document titled "The Special Virus Cancer Program:  Progress Report No.  8?, and couldn’t find it.  Somehow they heard I had it, called me and asked me to mail it to them.  Imagine, a retired schoolteacher being called by the United States Senate and asked for one of their secret documents!

The US Senate, through the Government Reform Committee, is trying to stop this type of government research.

Crystalline Brucella

The title page of a genuine US Senate Study, declassified on February 24, 1977, shows that George Merck, of the pharmaceutical company, Merck Sharp & Dohme (which now makes cures for diseases that at one time it created), reported in 1946 to the US Secretary of War that his researchers had managed "for the first time" to "isolate the disease agent in crystalline form".³

They had produced a crystalline bacterial toxin extracted from the Brucella bacterium.  The bacterial toxin could be removed in crystalline form and stored, transported and deployed without deteriorating.  It could be delivered by other vectors such as insects, aerosol or the food chain (in nature it is delivered within the bacterium).  But the factor that is working in the Brucella is the mycoplasma.

Brucella is a disease agent that doesn’t kill people; it disables them.  But, according to Dr. Donald MacArthur of the Pentagon, appearing before a congressional committee in 1969⁴, researchers found that if they had mycoplasma at a certain strength — actually, 10 to the 10th power (10¹⁰) — it would develop into AIDS, and the person would die from it within a reasonable period of time because it could bypass the natural human defenses.

If the strength was 10⁸, the person would manifest with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia.  If it was 10⁷, they would present as wasting; they wouldn’t die and they wouldn’t be disabled, but they would not be very interested in life; they would waste away.

Most of us have never heard of the disease brucellosis because it largely disappeared when they began pasteurizing milk, which was the carrier.  One salt shaker of the pure disease agent in a crystalline form could sicken the entire population of Canada.  It is absolutely deadly, not so much in terms of killing the body but disabling it.

Because the crystalline disease agent goes into solution in the blood, ordinary blood and tissue tests will not reveal its presence.  The mycoplasma will only crystallize at 8.1 pH, and the blood has a pH of 7.4 pH.  So the doctor thinks your complaint is "all in your head".

Crystalline Brucella and Multiple Sclerosis

In 1998 in Rochester, New York, I met a former military man, PFC Donald Bentley, who gave me a document and told me:  "I was in the US Army, and I was trained in bacteriological warfare.  We were handling a bomb filled with brucellosis, only it wasn’t brucellosis; it was a Brucella toxin in crystalline form.  We were spraying it on the Chinese and North Koreans."

He showed me his certificate listing his training in chemical, biological and radiological warfare.  Then he showed me 16 pages of documents given to him by the US military when he was discharged from the service.

They linked brucellosis with multiple sclerosis, and stated in one section:

"Veterans with multiple sclerosis, a kind of creeping paralysis developing to a degree of 10% or more disability within two years after separation from active service, may be presumed to be service-connected for disability compensation.  Compensation is payable to eligible veterans whose disabilities are due to service."

In other words:  "If you become ill with multiple sclerosis, it is because you were handling this Brucella, we will give you a pension.  Don’t go raising any fuss about it."  In these documents, the government of the United States revealed evidence of the cause of multiple sclerosis, but they didn’t make it known to the public — or to your doctor.

In a 1949 report, Doctors Kyger and Haden suggested "the possibility that multiple sclerosis might be a central nervous system manifestation of chronic brucellosis".  Testing approximately 113 MS patients, they found that almost 95% also tested positive for Brucella.⁵

We have a document from a medical journal, which concludes that one out of 500 people who had brucellosis would develop what they call neurobrucellosis; in other words, brucellosis in the brain, where the Brucella settles in the lateral ventricles — where the disease multiple sclerosis is basically located.⁶

Contamination of Camp Detrick Lab Workers

A 1948 New England Journal of Medicine report titled "Acute Brucellosis Among Laboratory Workers" shows us how actively dangerous this agent is.⁷  The laboratory workers were from Camp Detrick, Frederick, Maryland, where they were developing biological weapons.

Even though these workers had been vaccinated, wore rubberized suits and masks and worked through holes in the compartment, many of them came down with this awful disease because it is so absolutely and terrifyingly infectious.  The article was written by Lt Calderone Howell, Marine Corps, Captain Edward Miller, Marine Corps, Lt Emily Kelly, United States Naval Reserve, and Captain Henry Bookman.  They were all military personnel engaged in making the disease agent Brucella into a more effective biological weapon.

Covert Testing of Mycoplasma

Testing the Dispersal Methods

Documented evidence proves that the biological weapons they were developing were tested on the public in various communities without their knowledge or consent.

The government knew that crystalline Brucella would cause disease in humans.  Now they needed to determine how it would spread and the best way to disperse it.  They tested dispersal methods for Brucella suis and Brucella melitensis at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, in June and September 1952.  Probably, 100% of us now are infected with Brucella suis and Brucella melitensis.⁸

Another government document recommended the genesis of open-air vulnerability tests and covert research and development programs to be conducted by the Army and supported by the Central Intelligence Agency.

At that time, the Government of Canada was asked by the US Government to cooperate in testing weaponized Brucella, and Canada cooperated fully with the United States.  The US Government wanted to determine whether mosquitoes would carry the disease and also if the air would carry it.

A government report stated that "open-air testing of infectious biological agents is considered essential to an ultimate understanding of biological warfare potentialities because of the many unknown factors affecting the degradation of micro-organisms in the atmosphere".⁹

Testing via Mosquito Vector in Punta Gorda, Florida

A report from The New England Journal of Medicine reveals that one of the first outbreaks of chronic fatigue syndrome was in Punta Gorda, Florida, back in 1957.¹⁰  It was a strange coincidence that a week before these people came down with chronic fatigue syndrome, there was a huge influx of mosquitoes.

The National Institutes of Health claimed that the mosquitoes came from a forest fire 30 miles away.  The truth is that those mosquitoes were infected in Canada by Dr. Guilford B. Reed at Queen’s University.  They were bred in Belleville, Ontario, and taken down to Punta Gorda and released there.

Within a week, the first five cases ever of chronic fatigue syndrome were reported to the local clinic in Punta Gorda.  The cases kept coming until finally 450 people were ill with the disease.

Testing via Mosquito Vector in Ontario

The Government of Canada had established the Dominion Parasite Laboratory in Belleville, Ontario, where it raised 100 million mosquitoes a month.  These were shipped to Queen’s University and certain other facilities to be infected with this crystalline disease agent.

The mosquitoes were then let loose in certain communities in the middle of the night, so that the researchers could determine how many people would become ill with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, which was the first disease to show.

One of the communities they tested it on was the St Lawrence Seaway valley, all the way from Kingston to Cornwall, in 1984.  They let out hundreds of millions of infected mosquitoes.  Over 700 people in the next four or five weeks developed myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome.

Covert Testing of Other Disease Agents Mad Cow Disease/Kuru/CJD in the Fore Tribe

Before and during World War II, at the infamous Camp 731 in Manchuria, the Japanese military contaminated prisoners of war with certain disease agents.

They also established a research camp in New Guinea in 1942.  There they experimented upon the Fore Indian tribe and inoculated them with a minced-up version of the brains of diseased sheep containing the visna virus which causes "mad cow disease" or Creutzfeldt Jakob disease.

About five or six years later, after the Japanese had been driven out, the poor people of the Fore tribe developed what they called kuru, which was their word for "wasting", and they began to shake, lose their appetites and die.  The autopsies revealed that their brains had literally turned to mush.  They had contracted "mad cow disease" from the Japanese experiments.

When World War II ended, Dr. Ishii Shiro — the medical doctor who was commissioned as a General in the Japanese Army so he could take command of Japan’s biological warfare development, testing and deployment — was captured.  He was given the choice of a job with the United States Army or execution as a war criminal.  Not surprisingly, Dr. Ishii Shiro chose to work with the US military to demonstrate how the Japanese had created mad cow disease in the Fore Indian tribe.

In 1957, when the disease was beginning to blossom in full among the Fore people, Dr. Carleton Gajdusek of the US National Institutes of Health headed to New Guinea to determine how the minced-up brains of the visna-infected sheep affected them.  He spent a couple of years there, studying the Fore people, and wrote an extensive report.  He won the Nobel Prize for "discovering" kuru disease in the Fore tribe.

Testing Carcinogens over Winnipeg, Manitoba

In 1953, the US Government asked the Canadian Government if it could test a chemical over the city of Winnipeg.  It was a big city with 500,000 people, miles from anywhere.

The American military sprayed this carcinogenic chemical in a 1,000%-attenuated form, which they said would be so watered down that nobody would get very sick; however, if people came to clinics with a sniffle, a sore throat or ringing in their ears, the researchers would be able to determine what percentage would have developed cancer if the chemical had been used at full strength.

We located evidence that the Americans had indeed tested this carcinogenic chemical — zinc cadmium sulphide — over Winnipeg in 1953.  We wrote to the Government of Canada, explaining that we had solid evidence of the spraying and asking that we be informed as to how high up in the government the request for permission to spray had gone.  We did not receive a reply.

Shortly after, the Pentagon held a press conference on May 14, 1997, where they admitted what they had done.  Robert Russo, writing for the Toronto Star¹¹ from Washington, DC, reported the Pentagon’s admission that in 1953 it had obtained permission from the Canadian Government to fly over the city of Winnipeg and spray out this chemical — which sifted down on kids going to school, housewives hanging out their laundry and people going to work.

US Army planes and trucks released the chemical 36 times between July and August 1953.  The Pentagon got its statistics, which indicated that if the chemical released had been full strength, approximately a third of the population of Winnipeg would have developed cancers over the next five years.

One professor, Dr. Hugh Fudenberg, MD, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, wrote a magazine article stating that the Pentagon came clean on this because two researchers in Sudbury, Ontario — Don Scott and his son, Bill Scott — had been revealing this to the public.  However, the legwork was done by other researchers!

The US Army actually conducted a series of simulated germ warfare tests over Winnipeg.  The Pentagon lied about the tests to the mayor, saying that they were testing a chemical fog over the city, which would protect Winnipeg in the event of a nuclear attack.

A report commissioned by US Congress, chaired by Dr. Rogene Henderson, lists 32 American towns and cities used as test sites as well.

Brucella Mycoplasma and Disease

AIDS

The AIDS pathogen was created out of a Brucella bacterium mutated with a visna virus; then the toxin was removed as a DNA particle called a mycoplasma.  They used the same mycoplasma to develop disabling diseases like MS, Crohn's colitis, Lyme disease, etc.

In the previously mentioned US congressional document of a meeting held on June 9, 1969¹², the Pentagon delivered a report to Congress about biological weapons.  The Pentagon stated:  "We are continuing to develop disabling weapons."  Dr. MacArthur, who was in charge of the research, said:  "We are developing a new lethal weapon, a synthetic biological agent that does not naturally exist, and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired."

Think about it.  If you have a deficiency of acquired immunity, you have an acquired immunity deficiency.  Plain as that.  AIDS.

In laboratories throughout the United States and in a certain number in Canada including at the University of Alberta, the US Government provided the leadership for the development of AIDS for the purpose of population control.  After the scientists had perfected it, the government sent medical teams from the Centers for Disease Control — under the direction of Dr. Donald A. Henderson, their investigator into the 1957 chronic fatigue epidemic in Punta Gorda — during 1969 to 1971 to Africa and some countries such as India, Nepal, and Pakistan where they thought the population was becoming too large.¹³  They gave them all a free vaccination against smallpox; but five years after receiving this vaccination, 60% of those inoculated were suffering from AIDS.  They tried to blame it on a monkey, which is nonsense.

A professor at the University of Arkansas made the claim that while studying the tissues of a dead chimpanzee she found traces of HIV.  The chimpanzee that she had tested was born in the United States 23 years earlier.  It had lived its entire life in a US military laboratory where it was used as an experimental animal in the development of these diseases.  When it died, its body was shipped to a storage place where it was deep-frozen and stored in case they wanted to analyse it later.  Then they decided that they didn't have enough space for it, so they said, "Anybody want this dead chimpanzee?" and this researcher from Arkansas said:  "Yes.  Send it down to the University of Arkansas.  We are happy to get anything that we can get."  They shipped it down and she found HIV in it.  That virus was acquired by that chimpanzee in the laboratories where it was tested.¹⁴

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Chronic fatigue syndrome is more accurately called myalgic encephalomyelitis.  The chronic fatigue syndrome nomenclature was given by the US National Institutes of Health because it wanted to downgrade and belittle the disease.

An MRI scan of the brain of a teenage girl with chronic fatigue syndrome displayed a great many scars or punctate lesions in the left frontal lobe area where portions of the brain had literally dissolved and been replaced by scar tissue.  This caused cognitive impairment, memory impairment, etc.  And what was the cause of the scarring?  The mycoplasma.  So there is very concrete physical evidence of these tragic diseases, even though doctors continue to say they don't know where it comes from or what they can do about it.

Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalomyelitis and fibromyalgia who apply to the Canada Pensions Plan Review Tribunal will be turned down because they cannot prove that they are ill.  During 1999 I conducted several appeals to Canada Pensions and the Workers Compensation Board (WCB, now the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) on behalf of people who have been turned down.  I provided documented evidence of these illnesses, and these people were all granted their pensions on the basis of the evidence that I provided.

In March 1999, for example, I appealed to the WCB on behalf of a lady with fibromyalgia who had been denied her pension back in 1993.  The vice-chairman of the board came to Sudbury to hear the appeal, and I showed him a number of documents which proved that this lady was physically ill with fibromyalgia.  It was a disease that caused physical damage, and the disease agent was a mycoplasma.  The guy listened for three hours, and then he said to me:  "Mr Scott, how is it I have never heard of any of this before?  I said:  "We brought a top authority in this area into Sudbury to speak on this subject and not a single solitary doctor came to that presentation."

Testing for Mycoplasma in your Body

Polymerase Chain Reaction Test

Information is not generally available about this agent because, first of all, the mycoplasma is such a minutely small disease agent.  A hundred years ago, certain medical theoreticians conceived that there must be a form of disease agent smaller than bacteria and viruses.  This pathogenic organism, the mycoplasma, is so minute that normal blood and tissue tests will not reveal its presence as the source of the disease.

Your doctor may diagnose you with Alzheimer's disease, and he will say:  "Golly, we don't know where Alzheimer's comes from.  All we know is that your brain begins to deteriorate, cells rupture, the myelin sheath around the nerves dissolves, and so on."  Or if you have chronic fatigue syndrome, the doctor will not be able to find any cause for your illness with ordinary blood and tissue tests.

This mycoplasma couldn't be detected until about 30 years ago when the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was developed, in which a sample of your blood is examined and damaged particles are removed and subjected to a polymerase chain reaction.  This causes the DNA in the particles to break down.  The particles are then placed in a nutrient, which causes the DNA to grow back into its original form.  If enough of the substance is produced, the form can be recognised, so it can be determined whether Brucella or another kind of agent is behind that particular mycoplasma.

Blood Test

If you or anybody in your family has myalgic encephalomyelitis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's, you can send a blood sample to Dr. Les Simpson in New Zealand for testing.

If you are ill with these diseases, your red blood cells will not be normal doughnut-shaped blood cells capable of being compressed and squeezed through the capillaries, but will swell up like cherry-filled doughnuts which cannot be compressed.  The blood cells become enlarged and distended because the only way the mycoplasma can exist is by uptaking pre-formed sterols from the host cell.  One of the best sources of pre-formed sterols is cholesterol, and cholesterol is what gives your blood cells flexibility.  If the cholesterol is taken out by the mycoplasma, the red blood cell swells up and doesn't go through, and the person begins to feel all the aches and pains and all the damage it causes to the brain, the heart, the stomach, the feet and the whole body because blood and oxygen are cut off.

And that is why people with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome have such a terrible time.  When the blood is cut off from the brain, punctate lesions appear because those parts of the brain die.  The mycoplasma will get into portions of the heart muscle, especially the left ventricle, and those cells will die.  Certain people have cells in the lateral ventricles of the brain that have a genetic predisposition to admit the mycoplasma, and this causes the lateral ventricles to deteriorate and die.  This leads to multiple sclerosis, which will progress until these people are totally disabled; frequently, they die prematurely.  The mycoplasma will get into the lower bowel, parts of which will die, thus causing colitis.  All of these diseases are caused by the degenerating properties of the mycoplasma.

In early 2000, a gentleman in Sudbury phoned me and told me he had fibromyalgia.  He applied for a pension and was turned down because his doctor said it was all in his head and there was no external evidence.  I gave him the proper form and a vial, and he sent his blood to Dr. Simpson to be tested.  He did this with his family doctor's approval, and the results from Dr Simpson showed that only 4% of his red blood cells were functioning normally and carrying the appropriate amount of oxygen to his poor body, whereas 83% were distended, enlarged and hardened, and wouldn't go through the capillaries without an awful lot of pressure and trouble.  This is the physical evidence of the damage that is done.

ECG Test

You can also ask your doctor to give you a 24-hour Holter ECG.  You know, of course, that an electrocardiogram is a measure of your heartbeat and shows what is going on in the right ventricle, the left ventricle and so on.  Tests show that 100% of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia have an irregular heartbeat.  At various periods during the 24 hours, the heart, instead of working happily away going "bump-BUMP, bump-BUMP", every now and again goes "buhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuh".  The T-wave (the waves are called P, Q, R, S and T) is normally a peak, and then the wave levels off and starts with the P-wave again.  In chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia patients, the T-wave flattens off, or actually inverts.  That means the blood in the left ventricle is not being squeezed up through the aorta and around through the body.

My client from Sudbury had this test done and, lo and behold, the results stated:  "The shape of T and S-T suggests left ventricle strain pattern, although voltage and so on is normal."  The doctor had no clue as to why the T-wave was not working properly.  I analysed the report of this patient who had been turned down by Canada Pensions and sent it back to them.  They wrote back, saying:  "It looks like we may have made a mistake.  We are going to give you a hearing and you can explain this to us in more detail."

So it is not all in your imagination.  There is actual physical damage to the heart.  The left ventricle muscles do show scarring.  That is why many people are diagnosed with a heart condition when they first develop fibromyalgia, but it's only one of several problems because the mycoplasma can do all kinds of damage.

Blood Volume Test

You can also ask your doctor for a blood volume test.  Every human being requires a certain amount of blood per pound of body weight, and it has been observed that people with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis and other illnesses do not have the normal blood volume their body needs to function properly.  Doctors aren't normally aware of this.

This test measures the amount of blood in the human body by taking out 5 cc, putting a tracer in it and then putting it back into the body.  One hour later, take out 5 cc again and look for the tracer.  The thicker the blood and the lower the blood volume, the more tracer you will find.

The analysis of one of my clients stated:  "This patient was referred for red cell mass study.  The red cell volume is 16.9 ml per kg of body weight.  The normal range is 25 to 35 ml per kg.  This guy has 36% less blood in his body than the body needs to function." And the doctor hadn't even known the test existed.

If you lost 36% of your blood in an accident, do you think your doctor would tell you that you are alright and should just take up line dancing and get over it?  They would rush you to the nearest hospital and start transfusing you with blood.  These tragic people with these awful diseases are functioning with anywhere from 7% to 50% less blood than their body needs to function.

Undoing the Damage

The body undoes the damage itself.  The scarring in the brain of people with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia will be repaired.  There is cellular repair going on all the time.  But the mycoplasma has moved on to the next cell.

In the early stages of a disease, doxycycline may reverse that disease process.  It is one of the tetracycline antibiotics, but it is not bactericidal; it is bacteriostatic — it stops the growth of the mycoplasma.  And if the mycoplasma growth can be stopped for long enough, then the immune system takes over.

Doxycycline treatment is discussed in a paper by mycoplasma expert Professor Garth Nicholson, PhD, of the Institute for Molecular Medicine.¹⁵  Dr. Nicholson is involved in a US $8-million mycoplasma research program funded by the US military and headed by Dr. Charles Engel of the NIH.  The program is studying Gulf War veterans, 450 of them, because there is evidence to suggest that Gulf War syndrome is another illness (or set of illnesses) caused by mycoplasma.
