The Homeopathic Money System

You might well ask what on earth does homeopathy have to do with the monetary system. Though it is tongue in cheek, there is something that is very similar as I will show and which caught my attention as I read an article of yet another financial institution that was collapsing. But first it might be appropriate to define what homeopathy is.

Though homeopathy comes from the two Greek words which means similar suffering, it is not this aspect that is of interest, but rather the idea behind homeopathy, which rests on the premise of treating sick persons with extremely diluted agents that - in undiluted doses - are deemed to produce similar symptoms in a healthy individual.



The banking system long time ago caught on to the benefit of diluting substances and the enormous profits that could be made by diluting the real value of money. They created the fractional reserve system, whereby they only have to have 10% of the deposited money in safe keeping at any one time. This means that they can lend out the 90% of the money and charge interest on it. But it doesn't stop there as bank A can lend the 90% to bank B, who can lend out 90% of 90% or 81% of the original amount and so on and so on until there is hardly anything left of the original. This is all good in times when confidence in the system is high(apart from the fact that it is still stealing as the bank earns money from money it doesn't have), but a sudden jolt to the system causing people to go to the bank to withdraw their savings all at once can quickly cause previously financial giants to collapse. (This little animation video explains it well and in simple terms.)

A couple of weeks ago one could read in the Guardian:
UK: Panic selling shuts £2bn fund

One of Britain's biggest property funds was forced to shut its doors to withdrawals yesterday after the slump in commercial prices triggered panic selling by small investors.

The move prompted fears of a Northern Rock-style run on billions of pounds invested in once high-flying funds which many savers have seen as a safe haven for their pensions.

Scottish Equitable said yesterday that 129,000 small investors in its £2bn property fund will not be able to access their money for up to a year, although payments relating to regular income already being paid, retirements and death claims will not be affected.

It said the fund, invested in London office blocks and shopping centres across Britain, no longer had sufficient cash reserves to meet demands from investors wanting to withdraw their money. Its "buffer fund" was down to 1% of its total assets, instead of the usual 10-15%.


Yes, the "buffer fund had only 1% in it instead of the required amount of 10%, as it is so tempting for the sharks in the more aggressive investment funds to increase the risks as the profit and the glory is so tantalizing. On top of it the fund managers themselves don't actually risk anything as recent obscene bonus payments have demonstrated:
Wall St execs collect $US33b bonuses

The Wall Street gurus who presided over the subprime mortgage crisis currently shredding global sharemarkets have awarded themselves bonuses totalling $US33.2 billion ($38 billion).


For anyone who have followed the news the above example is not an isolated incident. It is the standard practice of doing banking and high finance and goes to show that no checks and balances were put in place after the Enron collapse. The psychopathic minded people employed in Enron just moved elsewhere in the monetary system, that attracts such people. Predators who like to be where the action is and where psychopathic qualities such as high risk taking and impulsiveness, comes to the fore especially when said individuals operate without conscience and thus feel nothing for the victims if it all turns ugly. This is not to say that all the leading people in the finance sector are psychopaths, but as Hare and Babiak show in their book "Snakes in suits", the lure of glory, power and prestige which is abundant in this area attracts a disproportionate number of them.

Just the other day a French person with money in the French bank Society Generale told me that she felt assured as she believed that her money in the bank was backed by gold. But no, that is not so and hasn't been for a long time. The last gold standard collapsed in the 1971, when Nixon stopped the ability to convert dollars to gold.

In recent times there has been a greater and greater demand for gold, but what do the bankers do when the demand is greater than actual gold available and when the wish is to keep gold prices down? Well, they create ETF (Exchanged Traded Funds) gold. This means that instead of getting physical gold in your hand, you get a piece of paper saying that you have that much gold in the "bank". It is virtual gold and you will only realise that when crunch time comes and everybody goes with their pieces of paper to demand it be exchanged for real physical gold. That is when the scam will be exposed, but by then it will be too late.

Richard Greene explains it in this article:

The gold and silver ETFs were created by such financial giants as JP Morgan and Barclay's Bank that also serve as custodians and sub-custodians. These are the very firms that have been involved in the process of short selling gold and silver in huge quantities. That they would be involved in creating the ETFs had to be considered as most unlikely unless they had nefarious purposes.

What I mean by that is that when the gold and silver ETFs first came out the investment demand for gold and silver was just in the initial phases of taking off. The bullion banks and financial powers that have been involved in suppressing the prices of gold and silver needed an outlet to satisfy this additional demand for gold and silver when there was clearly no actual gold and silver to fulfill this additional demand.

Most do not like to recognize that the business model of the US is fast approaching what could be called Fascism, particularly since that word is immediately associated with World War II Italy and all the ugliness of the Axis powers. However, when one looks at the definition of what fascism is, it becomes clear that many of our Government's decisions benefit the large corporations more than the people the government is supposed to be serving. In return, these corporations return all their support in both monetary contributions and affirmations of policy through such means as the media which is largely controlled by the same money powers. Look no further for evidence in some of the examples that have arisen with the outbreak of the unconstitutionally un-declared war on Iraq. Instead of the military providing services by use of its own personnel for things such as laundry and meals, big corporation's line up for their part of the money pile. A perfect example is Halliburton which handles laundry for the soldiers at an outrageous fee of $99 per bundle, and this in a country where such a service would be a tiny fraction of such a fee.

Based on the surrounding circumstances you would have to be naïve if you believe that the gold and silver ETFs were created so that investors would have an easy way to get exposure to gold and silver without the burdens of taking delivery and finding a secure and safe location to store it.


The system of homeopathy of treating people for diseases works well, but when this system of dilution is carried over to the financial system it is a recipe for disaster. The virtual world of money is in the process of meeting reality, and it ain't looking good!

Sexual predators in the religious scene



A story in the news a few days ago brought an ugly reality to show its face again. It was yet another story of a sexual predator, who walked free from court with just a token sentence. This time it was the story of archbishop Earl Paulk from an Atlanta megachurch:

Archbishop pleads guilty to perjury
ATLANTA (AP) - Court officials say the 80-year-old leader of a suburban Atlanta megachurch pleaded guilty Wednesday to a charge he lied under oath. Cobb County Superior Court Judge Frank Cox said Archbishop Earl Paulk of the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit at Chapel Hill Harvester Church was sentenced to 10 years probation and a $1,000 fine for the felony charge.

Paulk turned himself in to authorities Tuesday night after a warrant was issued for his arrest the previous day. The charges stem from a deposition Paulk gave as part of a civil lawsuit against him, his brother Don and the church by a former church employee who says she was coerced into an affair.

In a 2006 deposition for the lawsuit, the archbishop said under oath that the only woman he had ever had sex with outside of his marriage was former church worker Mona Brewer.

But the results of a court-ordered paternity test revealed in October that Paulk is the biological father of his brother's son, D.E. Paulk, who is now head pastor at the church. As part of Brewer's lawsuit, eight women have given sworn depositions that they were coerced into sexual relationships with Earl Paulk.

Paulk's attorney, Joel Pugh, said he had been working with Cobb County District Attorney Pat Head for weeks on negotiating a deal.

"It was a fair and just resolution of the case for a man who has lived his whole life and done wonderful things but made a mistake," Pugh said. "He's ready to move on."

Pugh had said earlier the warrant came as a surprise to the Paulk family.
The warrant was the result of a months-long probe by Head and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Head called the sentence "certainly adequate" for Paulk, who had never been charged criminally before.

"There are a lot of allegations about things he has done over the past 15 or 20 years," Head said. "In trying to determine what is a fair sentence, I can't look at what he's been alleged to have done in other counties."

Paulk's home and church are in DeKalb County, but the deposition he gave was in an attorney's office in Cobb County.

Cox said the sentence was not unusual for someone like Paulk, who has no prior record and whose health is "frail."

Paulk has been in bad health for the last couple of years after a battle with cancer, limiting his activity with the independent charismatic church he and his brother founded in 1960.

At its peak in the early 1990s, the Cathedral at Chapel Hill claimed about 10,000 members and 24 pastors and was a media powerhouse. The church was able to build a Bible college, two schools, a worldwide TV ministry and a $12 million sanctuary the size of a fortress in Decatur outside Atlanta.

Today membership is down to about 1,500, the church has 18 pastors, most of them volunteers, and the Bible College and TV ministry have shuttered — a downturn blamed largely on complaints about the sexual scandals.

Anne Simpkinson writes in an article named Soul Betrayal - Sexual abuse by spiritual leaders from 1996:
Sometimes what psychologists call a personality disorder compels a person to exploit, manipulate, and hurt those in their spiritual care. While publicly charming, ebullient, devoted, hard-working, and inspiring, this leader proves himself cunning, slick, seductive, and cruel in private. Involved in multiple, simultaneous relationships, he can sweet-talk his victims into compliance -- "Our love is special and holy" -- or bully them into submission.

Sounds very much like the description of the common psychopath.
Robert Hare is the foremost expert today on psychopathy and the author of several books on the subject. He defines psychopathy as follows:
Psychopathy is a personality disorder described by the personality traits and behaviors that form the basis of this book [Snakes in Suit]. Psychopaths are without conscience and incapable of empathy, guilt, or loyalty to anyone but themselves.

These are some of the common traits of psychopathy:
lack of remorse or empathy
shallow emotions
manipulativeness
lying
egocentricity
glibness
low frustration tolerance
episodic relationships
parasitic lifestyle
persistent violation of social norms

Simkinson continues:
United Church of Christ minister Marie Fortune, in her book Is Nothing Sacred?, details the havoc and pain wreaked on individual women and the congregation by the sexual misconduct of one of the church's pastors. Fortune notes that sexual predators go to great lengths to choose women whose current circumstances might make them vulnerable: for instance, the death of a parent, a divorce, problems with children, or an illness. The situation that sends Fortune "over the edge" is one in which a congregant approaches a minister for help in dealing with childhood sexual abuse. Often that confidence is seen by the minister as a "green light" to seduce the person. One clergyman whom Fortune heard about told his victim that the way to heal from childhood sexual abuse was to re-enact the experiences with him. "I am amazed at the creativity that perpetrators have," Fortune says, "the manipulation of theology and scripture and ritual, the moral rationalization they bring to bear: `No, there is nothing wrong with this because God's love for you is flowing through me, and this is a holy kiss.'"

Because of the innocence and vulnerability of the victims, perhaps the most heinous crime perpetrated by sexual predators is the abuse of children. Trust, innocence, and sense of self all shatter, leaving behind shards of fear, shame, distrust, and self-loathing.


The spiritual scene provides a fertile ground for sexual predators to prey, as trust and complete faith is often given to if not demanded by the various religions leaders. A cartoon on the internet illustrates this well:




This idea is being supported and promoted widely amongst the followers of the various religions, namely that the priest, guru, satsang giver or “enlightened” leader is God’s representative, a divine incarnation or god himself here on earth and who is often seen as the means to get closer to god, or get enlightened or healed. But this idea is also what makes people vulnerable to predators who have seen this to be a fertile feeding ground for their parasitic life style. One of the problems lies in the issue of belief, as it is a poor substitute for knowledge. Anna Salter writes in her book Predators, pedophiles, rapists and other sex offenders:

One molester, who was himself a minister, said:
"I considered church people easy to fool…they have a trust that comes from being Christians…They tend to be better folks all around. And they seem to want to believe in the good that exists in all people. ..I think they want to believe in people. And because of that, you can easily convince, with or without convincing words."

…The growing crisis in the Catholic Church just underlines the fact that offenders can recognize ideal settings for child molesters even if the rest of us can’t. In truth, a deeply religious and trusting group of people, plus the requirement of celibacy (an ideal cover for any man who has no sexual interest in adults), plus a hierarchy that doesn’t report complaints to the police and simply moves the offender on to new and fresh territory with new potential victims, is the ideal setting for pedophiles. Even without such extreme conditions, however interviews with offenders have convinced me that people in general are just plain easy to fool. What makes fooling us so easy is not the worst in us, it is often the best. As one rapist said:

”Because people want to believe in something. They want to hope. And they want to believe. They want to , there’s something inside of people that makes them want to believe the best in things and the best in others. Because the alternative is not very nice.”

True enough. The alternative is not very nice.(emphasis added)


A quick browse through google will show that this is by no means limited to the Christian faith:

Sogyal Rinpoche:
Best-selling Buddhist author accused of sexual abuse
Sathya Sai Baba:
Major exposure of alleged sexual abuses by Sathya Sai Baba
Swami Rama:
Sexual predator at the Himalayan International Institute
Jewish Survivors of Spiritual Abuse
Bail set for Rabbi in sex abuse case
Baltimore roiled by abuse charge against late Rabbi
Midwood Rabbi faces kiddie sex charges
Archbishop Robert Sanchez shielded pedophile priests
Abused alterboys sue church for millions
Sexual abuse and manipulation

In the New Age movement, the situation is no different. Here the movement with seekers desperate for enlightenment is a fertile ground for sexual predators, who are keen on bestowing special initiations to innocent followers all in the name of destroying the ego, fast tracking the goal of enlightenment or any other paramoralistic reason to force themselves on their followers.

A recent case (original link) comes to mind, that has disturbing signs of fitting this description, but where the accused person is acquitted:

Institute leader acquitted of sex charges
HOLLY DANKS - HILLSBORO -- A Washington County Circuit judge called the leader of a metaphysical Internet sales company manipulative and controlling and his testimony unbelievable, even as he acquitted him Wednesday of charges that he had sex with an underage boy.

Judge Steven L. Price, after a five-day trial without a jury, found Eric James Pepin, 40, not guilty of two counts of second-degree sexual abuse, four counts of third-degree sexual abuse and one count of using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct.

Also acquitted of third-degree sexual abuse and using a child in a pornographic display was Jamison Dwight Priebe, 21, who has worked for Pepin's Higher Balance Institute since he was 18.

"Everybody has stood by me who knows me," Pepin said Wednesday after hugging supporters. "They had faith in me, prayed for me. I told them I wouldn't let them down. I did nothing of what was alleged. I've been nothing but honorable and impeccable."

However, Price said it was "probable that the conduct alleged in all counts occurred," but he wasn't convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. "There's a lack of strong corroboration," such as a date-stamp on a videotape of the sexual encounter, the judge said.

The accuser testified Pepin had him take off his shirt the first day they met at Pepin's Beaverton home in April 2004.

"He was going to try and fix my energy and he needed me to trust him," the accuser said. Pepin touched the teen's "chakra points" on his heart, head and lower abdomen.

"Eric asked me to tell him everything I had done in my life that I was ashamed about," the teen added.


Asking the person to tell everything they have done, which they are ashamed about, gives the perpetrator the upper hand in knowing all the vulnerable spots to then mine for personal use later. Hare and Babiak write in “Snakes in Suits” about what they call the assessment phase:

The chance to con or manipulate others is a primary motivator for someone with a psychopathic personality disorder; psychopaths like to play games with people. They often are on the lookout for individuals to swindle or scam, and this first phase of the psychopathic approach involves identifying and assessing targets or prey. Some psychopaths are opportunistic, aggressive predators who will take advantage of almost anyone they meet, while others are more patient, waiting for the perfect, innocent victim to cross their path. In each case, the psychopath is constantly sizing up the potential usefulness of an individual as a source of money, power, sex, or influence.


Back to the article:

The accuser said Pepin asked him how old he was the first day they met and that he told him the truth.

"He said students had to be 18 because he didn't like parents fussing around," the accuser said.

Maybe the reason was that he didn’t like parents, who being more streetwise would be able to see through the manipulations and the sexual predation that was going on.

But within days the two were having sex, including a three-way encounter with Priebe, the youth testified. Pepin called it "crossing the abyss," the accuser said, "surrendering yourself to your teacher, your master."


All in the name of spiritual advancement and dropping the ego.

Pepin testified he is gay and has had sexual relationships with most of his 11 employees, but not before they were 18. Pepin said he gave his accuser a job, even though the teen was a poor worker, and continued to be intimate with him and give him money after he was fired, to help him out.

Though the court case was principally about whether the person was 18 years of age, it seems evident that the accused used his position to prey on young and innocent people for personal sexual satisfaction. By accusing the victim, the accused cleverly turns it around, so that the reader will start to doubt his own reason and will start to think that maybe the victim was in the wrong all along. Even if he was a poor worker, that does not make it legitimate to force sex on the young man. The facts on the ground, namely of having had sex with most of his staff, who by the sounds are mostly just over 18 years of age, does not add credibility to the alleged perpetrator. Even if the victim was 18 years of age, it has disturbing signs of predation.

Stephen A. Houze, Pepin's private defense attorney, called the accuser a liar more than 100 times in his closing argument and noted that Pepin was "the perfect patsy" because society wants to believe the worst of a gay man. Houze said the accuser brought the charges because he wanted to shake down Pepin.


Calling a young victim a liar is a common way to discredit accusations, especially as the perpetrators and their defending lawyers often are respected people of the community.
This has been seen time and again and Anna Salter in her book Predators, pedophiles, rapists and other sex offenders gives many examples to illustrate this point.

Pepin's Higher Balance Institute, now on Northwest Saltzman Road in Cedar Mill, reached an annual high of $2 million in Internet sales of meditation CDs, tapes and books before his arrest in July.

Pepin touts himself as a psychic and "remote viewer" who has found lost submarines and missing people, and says he created the "psychic pill" Magneurol6-S that enhances brain function, heals nerve damage, heightens paranormal experiences and relieves stress for $79 a bottle.

Unfortunately too many people fall over backwards in awe of someone claiming to be a psychic or to be able to remote view.

Andrew Erwin, deputy district attorney, called Higher Balance nothing more than a sex cult run by a "snake oil" salesman who preys on the troubled.

The accuser had nothing to gain by going to police and turned down $250,000 from Pepin to drop the sex charges, Erwin said.

"I'm disappointed," Erwin said of the verdicts. "The judge wants proof beyond all doubt and that's too high a standard."

To be willing to pay $250,000 in order for the victim to drop the charges shows just how keen the accused was in not getting to court.

In most cases the perpetrator gets away with it due to lack of evidence or because they are trusted more than a young victim. In this case the judge said that he found Eric Pepin “manipulative and controlling and his testimony unbelievable”, but “he wasn't convinced beyond a reasonable doubt.” And thus he was acquitted.

It is rare to hear a judge say such strong words about an acquitted, and though he was acquitted of underage sex which was the charge, his behavior does appear to be parasitic and manipulative and one of preying on young gullible men, as he didn’t dispute the fact of having sex with the young man, but only that he was 18 years of age at the time.

So what does one do?
Well, thinking that it is not happening where we live is not supported by the facts. Gavin de Becker, the author of The Gift of Fear sites statistics that show that in the US there is one child molester per square mile. Robert Hare says that the prevalence of psychopaths are such "that most of us will come across at least one psychopath during a typical day." So it is a reality that we would do well to understand and come to terms with as it is unlikely to go away.

In the introduction to her book mentioned above Anna Salter gives this sound advice:
This is not a book with a complete and comfortable answers. It will not finish with a checklist for identifying a sex offender: Just add up the points, and you too can spot your neighborhood pedophile or rapist. But if I do my job right, reading this book will make it harder for sex offenders to get access to you or your children. It will make it harder because knowing how they think and act and operate is the best protection that we have. Indeed, it is the only protection that is possible.


Yes, it is necessary to take the pink colored glasses off and stare reality in the face. It might not be pretty what we see, but it is real and acknowledging and understanding the reality in which we live is the best protection we can have. Ignorance is not bliss despite it appearing to be a dominant feature of Western society.

Secret History of the World!

I recently reread a book called The Secret History of the World.It poses many serious questions about our history and the reality we inhabit, that for the most are not asked or even considered as we are all too busy with our personal lives.

If I was only allowed to take one book with me, this would be the one. The book explores so many things and bring so much together, while gently nudging the reader to start thinking for themselves. A lot points to that time is not linear but cyclical and that history repeats itself. As someone famously said: "If we don't learn from history, we are bound to repeat it." Like in the movie "Groundhog Day", where the lead character kept coming back to the same day, until he started to learn what was there to learn, rather than just abuse reality for his own gratification.

There is this teaser for the book on youtube:

Evidence of past cosmic impact?

Yesterday I saw an article with the title Prehistoric women had passion for fashion". It tells about recent finds from the Vinca culture, that showed not only signs of a metropolis and a high degree of sophistication, but also that there was an eye for fashion and use of copper:

One of the most exciting finds for archaeologists was the discovery of a sophisticated metal workshop with a furnace and tools including a copper chisel and a two-headed hammer and axe.

"This might prove that the Copper Age started in Europe at least 500 years earlier than we thought," Kuzmanovic said.

The Copper Age marks the first stage of humans' use of metal, with copper tools used alongside older stone implements. It is thought to have started around the 4th millennium BC in south-east Europe, and earlier in the Middle East.

The Vinca culture flourished from 5500 to 4000 BC on the territories of what is now Bosnia, Serbia, Romania and Macedonia.


Now what caught my eye, was the fact that the ancient settlement was destroyed by what the article describes as a huge fire:

The settlement was destroyed at some point, probably in the first part of the fifth millennium, by a huge fire.


The mention of a HUGE fire reminded me of the description given in the book The Cycle of Cosmic Catastophes,of the meteor impacts that scorched the Northern Hemisphere and made the mega fauna extinct 12900 years ago.

In Russia there is the well known Macha craters, which are estimated to be less than 7000 years old. Now what if this meteor that produced these craters didn't come alone, but was part of a swarm and one of the other bolides was the cause of the huge fire that destroyed the Vinca settlement? Unlikely? Well think again.

That comets come at regular intervals and in swarms, was highlighted in a recent article/video called Something Wicked This Way Comes:

War, rumors of war, corrupt governments run by psychopaths, phony terrorism, burgeoning police states...but is that all we have to worry about? What if there was something to put it all in context? Or rather, what if there is something else we are missing, something that is beyond the control of even the political and corporate elite; something that is driving them to attempt to herd the global population to an ever finer order of control...





Did the Vinca settlement encounter one of the cyclical swarms of meteors circling the sun???

COINTELPRO and the use of clappers and the Greek Choruses in the mainstream media

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” (Joseph Goebbels)

Last Sunday I came across an article in The New York Times with the title "Analysts Find Israel Struck a Nuclear Project Inside Syria”, quoting American and foreign officials with access to the intelligence reports. After reading a paragraph, it was blatantly obvious that the foreign officials could only be Israeli officials, as they are the only ones with unfettered access to intelligence reports and whose nationality are routinely not mentioned.

Within hours Reuters came with a short article that mentioned this article no less than 7 times. It added further that the American and Israeli officials had spoken under condition of anonymity. No surprise there. It is a common way for COINTELPRO to vector public opinion in a desired direction, by the spreading of lies by it’s various outlets, in this case The New York Times. If the story would ONLY have appeared in the New York Times, it would not have had much effect and this is where we come to the issue of COINTELPRO and the use of clappers and the Greek Chorus. Laura Knight Jadczyk and Joe Quinn write in “911 – The Ultimate Truth”:

“No, they weren’t always called COINTELPRO, but the principle is the same. It has been used since time immemorial. The earliest written records we have are of “clappers” in the audiences of theatres in ancient Greece. What do you think the term “Greek Chorus ” means? We have exactly that in the present day in the form of the mainstream media. Did you
think that, with the power of the internet to reach millions of people that the “powers that be” would have ignored the necessity of installing a “Greek Chorus” on the net?

"The chorus offered background and summary information to help the
audience follow the performance, commented on main themes, and showed how an ideal audience might react to the drama as it was presented. They also represent the general populace of any particular story. "


Discussion boards are ideal formats for “Greek Choruses” as they can be vectored to “show how the ideal audience ought to react”, and to “represent the general populace”. In this way, the illusion can be created of a consensus when, in fact, such a consensus may not exist.
Polls are another example of Greek Choruses or Clappers.



Once the The New York Times story had been picked up and quoted extensively by Reuters, it was distributed by the clappers around the world and appearing in all the news outlets. To mention a few of these clappers, you will find the story in the Boston Globe, The Scotsman, San Francisco Chronicle, Houston Chronicle, The Star Tribune, The Australian, The Times of India, Sydney Morning Herald, Gulf Times, MSNBC, Yahoo Daily News, TVNZ, DefenceNews, Haaretz, Ynet, ABC News Australia and many, many others.

COINTELPRO has obviously found that by releasing the story via the New York Times, the story gains more credibility, than if it is released from the Israeli Defence ministry or the Jerusalem Post, which would more easily be dismissed as propaganda. With the use of the Greek Chorus or clappers, the story appears in multiple places around the world and due to it’s exposure has the vectoring influence. This is the same kind of effect as when you go to the supermarket and unconsciously buy the brand of butter that is heavily advertised on TV. Multiple repeated exposures work and COINTELPRO uses it over and over with the predictable effect of guiding the masses down the narrow road leading towards the abyss.

Remember the incubator story from the first Gulf war, that later turned out to be fake, but never the less vectored public opinion behind Bush senior to attack Iraq. That was also sold via propagating a lie repeatedly with the use of the Greek Choruses or clappers.

Or the Niger yellow cake story, that also turned out to be a lie, but still managed to sell the war on Iraq, four and a half years ago, to the American people. Again the Greek Choruses played their part.

Several times since the attack by Israel on the sovereign state of Syria on September the 6th, there has been allusion to that it was an attack on a Syrian nuclear program. Never mind that there is no evidence for it, as long as the lie is repeated often enough and loud enough. The power of suggestion and the use of the Greek Choruses is all that is needed for COINTELPRO to vector the public into supporting another preemptive strike against a sovereign nation state. Whether that state will be Syria or Iran time will tell, but judging from the past, it is not looking good.

I hope you don't dream of psychopaths






A few months ago a friend was visting for a couple of weeks. On the second night before going to bed she said to me: "I hope you don’t dream of psychopaths"! It was obvious that she was making reference to the books that I was reading on the subject: Without Conscience, The sociopath next door, In sheep’s clothing and Political Ponerology to mention but a few.

For her the thought of reading on such a subject seemed to be one coupled with fear. Admittedly it is one of the darker side of the reality that we encounter, but fear has not been the affect of reading about the subject. This might be surprising to many people, but think of it this way: Does a tribe’s man living in the jungle fear the jungle? No, and why not? Because he knows about the jungle. It is his home. He knows what plants and animals are dangerous and which ones are not, how to look out for them and how to behave in case of encountering them. The knowledge of the jungle, derived from keen observation and experience by himself and his tribe over generations means that his perceptive faculties are alert to what he sees, hears, smells and senses, so that no detail passes unnoticed. Because of his awareness and understanding of the jungle and it’s possible dangers, he can be relaxed and comfortable, but always ready to act on new observations as they appear. His relaxedness is not based on ignorance, but on knowledge.

Now what would happen if you as an outsider suddenly landed in just such a jungle? Well, fear would be a very likely response. If it so happened that you would be there for any length of time , the best way of survival would be to learn as much as possible about the jungle and preferably by people who know the jungle inside out like the tribesman mentioned before. Ignoring the dangers of the jungle or denying that one is in the jungle would be the surest way of finding a quick end to life.

Now what does that have to do with reading about psychopaths, you might ask? Well, as a matter of fact everything. We happen to live in just such a jungle, while constantly denying it or by pretending that no dangers exist. We have been brought up to think that everybody has the common good of his fellow man at heart. That is just not the case as these many books attests to.

Psychopaths ARE the deadly predators of the jungle called planet Earth and ascribing normal human qualities to them is the big flaw in our psychological understanding. It is essential to understand that around 4% of the population are psychopaths and that probably another 15-20% have similar mental deficiencies as the psychopaths due to an upbringing by psychopathic parents and/or the influence of a ponerized society that cherish the values of the psychopaths. Properly understanding this phenomenon in all its detail is essential for turning the tide of the psychopathic takeover of society and will make the difference as to whether you will end up as somebody’s lunch or not.

The friend visiting expressed interest in the subject and I lent her the book The Sociopath next door by Martha Stout. After reading just 50 pages in 2 weeks of holiday, she and her boyfriend, who had joined her, asked if they could borrow the book and take it with them. Considering the amount read so far I declined and suggested to them to just buy it from Amazon, which doesn’t cost a lot of money and also knowing that money for them couldn't be the issue. They talked about it a bit, wrote all the titles down, expressed amazement how it explained so many things and then decided to see if they couldn’t get the books at the public library. In the next moment my friend told me that she would have to have another 2 days of holidays when she got back as the new Harry Potter was then due to arrive from Amazon. The following saying came to mind: "You can take a horse to the water but you can't make it drink".

The answer to my friend's initial question at the start of her vacation "I hope you don’t dream of psychopaths" was "No, I never dream of psychopaths but I am aware of their existence and it is very real."

Are we sleepwalking towards extinction?




In the news the last few years there have been a growing number of meteorites that have been reported to have hit the earth. This reporting rarely reaches the headlines in the mainstream media. If it does, then the article mentions that it is exceedingly rare and sometimes perhaps to reinforce this perception of rarity, the article will mention the impact that wiped out the dinosaurs 65million years ago. 65 million years is hard to relate to in human terms and most people will probably think that meteors only happen on a scale of million of years, so why worry.

It has been mentioned before on several alternative news sites that we might be close to extinction and much evidence has been gathered and presented that points to that a number of cyclical cometary showers are converging on Planet earth in the very near future and that the picture ain’t looking pretty.

A couple of weeks ago I got interested to look closer at meteor impact craters, as I had just read the book ‘The Cycle of cosmic catastrophes’ by Firestone, West and Warwick-Smith. The book is an excellent read and it details the scientific evidence that a meteor caused a catastrophic impact 13000 years ago, that wiped out the Clovis culture in North America and triggered a 1400 year return to the Ice Age. The book mentions further that there are 174 known impact sites from meteors during Earth’s history and that number is rapidly growing with the help of Satellite images, though NASA is a little resistant in keeping this number updated. NASA doesn’t like entertaining in public the idea of cometary showers invading the inner solar system and therefore often engages in damage control rather than admitting the facts.

What I discovered was that it is not so unusual for meteors to fall, as we are commonly led to believe. Did you know that there are craters in Russia from a hit in 1947 with diameters up to 26 meters in diameter? It certainly was news to me and as I dug deeper, I saw that there have been numerous impacts in historic times. In other words no need to go back to dinosaur times to encounter them. The better known meteor hit was the Tunguska meteor in Russia in 1908 that felled an estimated 60million trees over an area of 2,150 square kilometers. If you would like to visualize how big that is, then picture standing in a circle with a radius of 26 kilometers ( ~16 miles).

Another hit that bears mentioning is the Wabar craters in Saudi Arabia. They are estimated to be from less than 260 years ago with some eye witness reports from as recent as the late 19th century. Three craters have been found with the biggest 116 meters in diameter. They managed to recover a fragment and it weighed 2.2 tonnes! Just this piece alone struck with an explosion roughly equivalent to the atom bomb that leveled Hiroshima.

You might say that is okay, since only few people live in the desert, but meteors are unpredictable as to where they land. Should one land within some kilometers from a nuclear plant then all hell breaks loose. And don’t count on emergency procedures to have any effect. As mentioned on a forum on the internet:
The nuclear industry for energy production today relies on a stable society where the whole infrastructure is functioning. In case of a slight accident, emergency procedures and contingency plans are activated, yet they rely on
1) Power supply
2) People to implement the emergency procedures and contingency plans
3) Helicopter and aircraft to encapsulate the reactor as seen with Chernobyl
4) Normal infrastructure such as roads, communications network etc.


Most likely no one will show up for work that day, who are on the roster for the emergency procedures, as they would be either dead, injured or in a catatonic state of shock in the aftermath. We can ignore this and believe in the uniformitarian world view that neatly relegates catastrophic events into the geological past, if acknowledging them at all, but is that really such a smart way of caring for the planet and those who will inhabit it after us?

Currently there are 441 nuclear power stations and many countries and lobby groups see nuclear power as the only way to combat carbon emissions. And we haven’t even taken monster earthquakes and massive volcanic eruptions into the equation and they certainly have appeared many times in the past.

Of the last major impact that happened in historical times and which brought on the dark ages we only have to go to the year 535/536 AD.

One article tells about a “ giant meteor or similar” which likely catapulted the Northern hemisphere into a nuclear style winter and started a worldwide catastrophe:
''The disaster coincided with a deepening of the Dark Ages - and appears to mark a turning point in human history,'' he said. Ancient chroniclers recorded that the sun ''became dim'' and ''its darkness lasted for 18 months''.
The crops failed in Italy, Mesopotamia, China, the British Isles and elsewhere - and terrible famines, plague and war broke out causing long-term economic and urban decline. In some parts of China, 70-80 per cent of the population died.
The cosmic explanation is probably the front runner - because a large volcanic eruption would normally leave an acid ''signature'', detectable in ice cores obtained from deep within the Greenland ice-cap.


So if you wonder why we aren’t taught about the cycles of cosmic catastrophes and the lack of coverage of fireballs in the mainstream media then think about the power of distraction. With the use of fear based propaganda the world population is distracted into believing in the politically driven climate change debate and in bogus enemies right, left and centre. That fear has reached a stage, where the inmates have taken over the asylum, with the consent of the general population, because "in states of fear and excitement, normally sensible human beings will accept the most wildly improbably suggestions". The psychopaths in control do not care about you and me. If so they wouldn’t have used Depleted Uranium in the Middle East and other places indiscriminately, with total disregard to the consequences of radiation of vast areas (including Europe and the US). Nor would they continue to spend obscene amounts of money on warfare, death and destruction. The authors in the book “The cycles of cosmic catastrophes” mention that there is little funding available for research into cometary impacts and devising of survival strategies. The prize of a fighter plane is all that is needed to fund this research.


This does not mean that the psychopaths in power don’t have knowledge of the impending cometary impact. They most likely are very well informed and decide to ride it out in underground caves, while 90%+ of the population is wiped out like the megafauna 13000 years ago. But the best way for them to continue with their evil plans is to have the population totally ignorant of the nature of their leaders and of the situation that we are in. A nation sleepwalking over the cliff is so much easier to control and manipulate, than an informed population that is aware of the true nature of their leaders. It is high time to wake up from the slumber!
