Still Wondering Why Occupy?

August 14, 2012

Started keeping a list of all the things that are still wrong, compromised or challenged in the United States. We’ve made plenty of progress in our short 230 years as a nation. But we’ve also got plenty of miles to go. Just when you thought it might be safe to go back in the water… DUN NUH! Big sharks, better known as “banks”, are circling once again and once again surround us. Giant, merciless, ferocious, and heartless, it is hard to believe that these anti-human machines of greed gain and profit had the nerve to borrow money from the same people they fork and gouge on a daily basis to bail them out of bankruptcy. They wouldn’t have done it for any one of American’s citizenry. Not one. And that my friends is the core and crux of the problem. One of them at least.

We already know the details of the meltdown (if you don’t, then look it up — Google “Matt Taibai”, for he’s single-handedly written some of the most elucidating and insightful pieces about it over the last four years). At the center of the collapse, as Mike Ruppert calls what’s coming economically for America due to these shenanigans that led up to the big crash of ’08, was a banking and financial system that deliberately lied cheated deceived defrauded extorted blackmailed and swindled just about everyone on planet earth, including themselves, for short term profits, knowing full well that eventually the dam would break and all hell would break loose. But just in case we lose the point of the matter, they may shield themselves from personal responsibility through corporate loopholes and fancy names like Goldman Sachs or Lehman Brothers et al. but these were living breathing human beings running these companies. The decisions that were made that destroyed the fabric of the great American Dream for 99% of the populace were made by people just like us.


The same people who less than a year later came crawling to the government begging for handouts and bailouts. The same people who less than a year after being handed almost a trillion dollars of taxpayers’ money rewarded themselves with some of the largest salaries and bonuses in recorded history. The same people who agreed to draft the hyper-inflated extortionist credit card offer that is pictured in this post. The pain may be being felt all over the country, and almost everyone both suffering and not has an opinion on which political side of the fence is at fault. But the smart person easily recognizes that this isn’t a partisan political problem where blame can be lain on either side. The problem is at the country’s core. From the President of the United States on down through the first term Congress persons newly elected. The greedy selfish thievery and chicanery that runs rampant through the streets and boardrooms of our country is going on in full view of the American people. And the leaders they elect to serve them each year. So in essence, one could assert that the problem lay in the hands of the people themselves.

There’s not a thing spoken about here that almost everyone in America doesn’t already know. And yet what are the American people doing about it? Bring the whole lot of them down? Hardly. Not yet at least. Truth is the American people aren’t really doing anything about it. They’re right back in the same stocks, bonds and funds, investing in and with the same banks and financial institutions that put us here in the first place. And just to rub it in, these banks — who now know with certainty that they are indeed considered “too big to fail” and therefore will always be bailed out by the people they screw day after day — have developed new schemes with even more strict and stringent rules and punishments for the people who bailed them out. When this credit card offer from First Premier Bank first started floating around in the underground it made it very clear that the 1% have no intention of growing a heart, developing integrity or nobility any time soon. If they can get away with it, they will, regardless of how much hurt they inflict on those around them.

If anyone is still asking “why the Occupy Movement?” study the attached “pre-approved credit card offer”. With over 15% of the country unemployed and even more deeply in debt and hurtin for certain, this is one of the toughest times economically America has ever faced. Everyone seems to be living on the edge, needing a little something extra to get by. The last thing in the world anyone hurting financially needs is a deceptive and malicious tease such as this. And yet, the question still remains as large as anything ever written on the hearts and minds of the American people: are they actually going to do anything about it? Or are they going to continue to allow these atrocities to continue?

If you’re still in a bank and not a credit union, you’re still part of the problem. If you’re not calling your state Senators and Congress persons demanding bank and financial institution reform, along with consumer credit reform, then you’re still part of the problem. And if you’re still scoffing at the bold and courageous actions of America’s young, old and in-betweeners who are participating in the Occupy Movement in any way they can then you’re still part of the problem. For this crisis, and don’t think for a second that this isn’t the greatest crisis America has ever faced excepting maybe the Civil War, is only just beginning. No one on Wall Street believes we are safe from this upcoming crisis. The bubbling Dow is just that, a bubble that can burst in a matter of hours as we all witnessed in 2008 and 2009. People in the United States seem to forget things so quickly in this new age of the 24 hour news cycle. As if the Dow has always been hovering around 13,000, totally neglecting to remember the fact that a mere two years ago it was half that.

It’s one thing to humbly ask for a hand out if you’re needy and desperate, work hard to pay it off and promise to never make the same mistakes twice. It’s another thing entirely to grab almost a trillion dollars from your fellow country men and women and use that money to immediately write yourself the biggest paycheck you’ve ever received and go right back to business as usual. Unfortunately that’s what we’ve seen transpire over the last three years. And if anything, the attached document illustrates just how unsorry, greedy and malicious these people are. It was the banks who put the people in this situation in the first place, and now they’re doing everything they can to take advantage of how many people are downtrodden, hungry and needy. If this isn’t a war, I don’t know what is.

Conspiracies Yes. Theories No

August 6, 2012

          I can’t recall how many times I have heard people refer to the dissemination of what’s really happening in the world today in regards to the global elite and the so called New World Order as “conspiracy theories”. Countless times. Obviously. The problem is that you can’t call something happening right in front of your face a “theory”. Conspiracies? Yes. Theories? Not even close. Not any longer.
          I was first introduced to the idea that everything we see, hear and read in our mainstream day to day lives might not be the whole truth and nothing but the truth when I was around 19 years old from what I can remember. On my way to sound-check for a show we were doing one night down on South Beach. I see it as fate now. Because I have learned so much since those days. But back then it was just curiosity. I didn’t yet see the connection of everything and all things, how they all tie into each other. I looked down and noticed a strange and slightly disfigured picture of the Pope on a soaking wet, wrinkled up and sun ravaged pamphlet in a mud puddle on the ground. I was raised Catholic, and although at that time I was exploring many other religions of the world including atheism (yes that is most certainly a religion) and humanism, I certainly didn’t know anything about the so called “Catholic Church” being the least bit “evil”. Silly, unnecessary and man-made, yes. But not inherently and deliberately evil.
          Now of course after many years of study, like anyone over the age of 21, I’ve come to realize that “The Church” as they arrogantly call themselves was nothing but a ruse, the declining Roman Empire disguising itself as a religious institution in order to use the fear of a God in order to continue to control the populace as they had for five centuries prior.
Something they’ve become even better at through the last fifteen centuries since they made the transition from overt dictatorship to covert theocratic oligarchy. I studied the materials and historical data that the pamphlet spoke of, how miserable the Catholic Church had made human beings on earth for centuries; how they secretly controlled large parts of the world and a major faction of human civilization; how they are actually not only one of the world’s largest and wealthiest corporations, but also their own freaking sovereign nation, housing themselves inside of Rome, but being totally separate from Rome and Italy. In other words, they could do whatever they wanted to under the guise and protection of “being a church”, but they also had the power of a corporation and as a country unto themselves to compete on the world stage in just about anything they wanted to. It began to make sense while growing up I had noticed that pretty much all world leaders from every country in the world make these strange visits to “the Pope” even if they aren’t Catholic. Getting permission one assumes… But this realization was only the beginning.
          From there my research led me more into things like the Illuminati, global economics and the monetary system as a whole, how insidiously upside down it is to serve the very rich by taking from the very poor. Black magic, strange secret clubs and rituals. Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, The Bilderberg Group, the New World Order. On and on it went. There is no need for me to go into it here. For not only have I written about it extensively in the past in these pages, but all of it and more is covered in voluminous detail in the Pinterest Board I have put together entitled The Need to Know Resource List. This is the reason for this particular Post. I receive the same questions on a pretty regular basis from friends and fans all over the world about which books or DVDs I would recommend to them to learn more about all these so called conspiracy theories. I receive even more queries about which self development courses I would recommend people take, which books to read about quantum physics or consciousness exploration and the New Age type stuff. It is impossible to answer each and every letter or email I get. So I decided to just compile a general list that would give anyone a decent head start on the path to learning about all of these various topics.
           I’ve heard every excuse in the book for why certain individuals do not believe that the majority of people on planet earth are being led and controlled and are inadvertently and unknowingly fighting a global elite of a very small and select group of individuals that call themselves The New World Order. Some are just ignorant. But most people now are keenly aware of this fact, but just feel helpless to do anything about it. So they choose instead not to begin to dive into it because they feel there is nothing we can actually do about it. I disagree wholeheartedly with this assumption. There is plenty to be done. And indeed it is now reaching the point where our very survival will depend on whether we do something or not. Turn on the news for a few days, open your eyes and your mind, view the world and the events transpiring around the world right this very minute with a fresh viewpoint as if you are from another planet and seeing all these things for the very first time. It will become very clear within minutes that “those days”, THAT time, the one that’s been prophesied about and we’ve dreaded for so long is now here. Now. It’s happening right in front of us. Perhaps everything revved up so slowly that we never stopped to notice how insane things got, much like we do when watching children grow. One day they are toddlers and next thing we know they are graduating from college. Where did all the time go?
          Well the same can be said about our place in human history in modern times. No one knows for sure what’s going to happen. Only a fool would say they do. But one thing is for sure. Our once great freedom loving United States of America has turned into a police state, seemingly over night. And there is mad chaos and pandemonium happening all over the world to a degree that we have never witnessed before. Again, there is no need for me to go into it here personally. For it will all be covered in the books and DVDs in the following Resource List.
          The most important thing for us all to realize at this time in our history is that there is nothing wrong with calling things as we see them. And there is nothing wrong with attempting to right the wrongs that we believe we see around us. Remember, it was the victims’ families of 9/11 who originally started calling attention to all the holes in the official story of that tragic event. Not some crazy conspiracy theorists as the powers that be would have us believe. But just plain old everyday peace and country loving Americans. They weren’t crazy to see how many questions were left unanswered about that day and the years and events that followed. They were just calling it as they saw it.
          The same can be said for the rest of us. There are a host of serious problems we are facing as a people, against a small group of others who we know very little about. One thing we do know about them is that they seem to possess no empathy for their fellow man whatsoever. They are not like us in this regard. But as always I remain eternally optimistic and believe that in their hearts they are very much like us at some level. It is up to us to help them see the light once more and break free from the chains that bind them to greed, selfishness and the ability to commit some of the most heinous acts ever perpetrated against man by man. There is plenty of hope to be found in the world all around us. As things appear to be getting “worse”, they also seem to be simultaneously getting better. More and more people are waking up. So remember, you are not alone. WE are not alone.
          NO matter what anyone calls you or accuses you of, if your aim is true and your intentions noble, you can believe in yourself. We are not guilty just because our views don’t happen to align with the deceit and lies perpetuated by the mainstream media and the governments of the world. We are not guilty even if they claim we are. They may accuse us of treason. But we all know that in the end what we really are in our hearts are brave patriots who love our country and love humanity. Nelson Mandela was found “guilty” in his home country and imprisoned for 27 years. But was he guilty? Never.
          A caveat: remember that life is balance. We wouldn’t be here now if we were not meant to be. Which bodes well for us all. For if YOU are here, now, then it means there is a reason for it. You’ve got something to offer. But in order to give our best we have got to maintain our sense of peace and balance. As you begin to investigate the true mechanisms of how the world around us works, remember to balance it with an equal dose of actions and activities that bring love and peace and comfort to you. Turning yourself into a paranoid hermit who hates the world will not help anyone. It will only help accomplish what the powers that be want in the end, a world full of frightened robots and automatons who do as they’re told and nothing more nor nothing less. That isn’t why we were born. That’s not why we are here. And deep inside, in our core, we all are aware of this. Be not afraid. There are more of us that we realize..
            There are people all over the world who are stepping up and taking charge to help in one noble goal or another. It is a miraculous time to be alive. My sincere belief is that there is much more good happening in the world around us at the moment than bad. It’s just that for whatever reason the governments of the world, our elected leaders, and the mainstream media don’t often focus on these things. But a little study will show anyone with an open mind that this is true. Whatever it is that you decide to do to help will be the right thing. Maintain a healthy neutrality. Remember to be positive in all actions and manners. And remember our oath to non-violence that we have seen work time and time again throughout our history. I have personally witnessed friends and colleages get shot with rubber bullets or be sprayed in the face with burning pepper spray or be kicked to the ground and handcuffed and carted off to jail and still not raise a fist or put up a fight. These are bold actions. Bolder than those taken by people who immediately let their emotions get the better of them and resort to violence. Violence as we have learned only begets more violence. And that is the last thing the world needs more of at this time in our history.
          My collecting and posting the books, websites and DVDs in the Pinterest Board entitled The Need to Know Resource List is just one example of “doing something”. A wholehearted and compassionate attempt to help awaken others and answer as many of people’s questions about these topics as possible all in one shot. As we all do, I care. And if this helps, that would be a very good thing. There is no greater feeling in the world than helping another. At some point, I will also post my own personal Survival Items and Action Items Check List for the same reason. “Doing something” is the least that each of us can do.

Understanding America’s Problem with Iran

August 6, 2012

          It has always been difficult for any citizen of earth to know for sure what the underlying truth is behind any geopolitical event that involves the country they live in. Such is side effect of “government”, almost like an automated mechanism of government, whether dictatorship or elected; the only thing one can rely on is that the official story they hear regarding just about anything of significance from their government is usually fraught with deception and misdirection. Anyone over the age of 12 recognizes this sad fact of life on earth at this time in our specie’s short history. Nine times out of ten there is always a far more sinister reason or cause behind almost everything that transpires around us; if it involves our government that is. Iraq and those mysteriously vanishing WMDs is just one of the many great examples of this. So too is the current situation with Iran and their alleged “evil plot to overthrow the world with their nuclear weapons”. 
          The United States citizenry for whatever reason has a reputation around the world for being the most out of touch with reality and ignorant world affairs or even of what’s “really” happening in their own country. Maybe it’s the people. Maybe it’s just that the government of the U.S. is the best at manipulating facts, distorting the truth and blackmailing the mainstream media. Who knows really? But regardless of how many times the American people have been flat out lied to by their government — think the assassination of JFK, MLK and RFK or the Gulf of Tonkin story — most American people still take their government’s word for it anyway and then go about their business. Sometimes one conjectures this might be more due to an underlying feeling of helplessness, rather than sheer ignorance. A fear that there is nothing they can do to changes things even though they know “the truth”, and worse, a fear that if they did attempt to do something that they could endanger their life or the lives of their loved ones. After all, the United States government has never been shy about using brute force, fabricated criminal charges, economic terrorism or any other means necessary to shut up dissenters, no matter how upstanding a citizen that person might be. So rather than admitting that there just might be more to what really happened on 9/11 for example, it is easier for average Joe to play dumb, keep quiet and go about with his day to day life. THIS was the inspiration for the theme of the song “Blind Eye” from the Transcendence album All Your Heroes Become Villains.
          On the other hand, with the advent of independent media, one could also assert that more and more
people in today’s rough and tumble, highly propagandized horror film called “life on planet earth” are recognizing that their respective governments have no intention of telling them the truth regarding anything that is happening of significance. Turn to mainstream media and it is no different of course. Once able bodied journalists hungry for truth and integrity behind all the fiction ran most media outlets. Now mainstream media is little more than a slightly more colorful and vocal mouthpiece for the governments and corporations that they serve, repeating whatever they are told to regardless of it’s veracity. Many are “unplugging from the Matrix” — a term that refers to disconnecting entirely from the lies and fictions perpetrated by national governments and mainstream media, and doing so at an exciting and alarming rate. 
          But I would personally venture to respond to that option with that infamous Godfather quote: “Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer.” In other words, no, one should not have any expectations that anything they read or hear in the mainstream press has an ounce of truth to it. But at the same time, it is important to know just what the “official stories” are that are being told to the masses. You don’t want to be so disconnected from collective society that you cannot relate to your fellow man on the issues of the day. And besides, how else can you help those around you understand what is really happening if you are not at least aware of the bull they are being fed?
          Understanding America’s current “problem” with Iran is one of the most glaring examples of the above ideas. The United States publicly claims that “the world will be a far more dangerous place if Iran were to get it’s hands on a nuclear weapon.” (Forget the fact that they themselves have made the world more dangerous than any nation on earth since Hitler’s Germany fell in ’45.) Just as they demonized Iraq as a member of an imaginary “axis of evil” in order to drum up support to invade that country, they have been on fire to do the same to Iran over the last few years. And for good reason. The United States has had hundreds of thousands of military troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan for almost ten years now, destroying their cities with weapons of mass destruction only to rebuild them for huge profits to the highest bidding American companies (coincidentally always the same “bidders”… Halliburton (a company Dick Cheney ran before becoming Vice President, just a coincidence), Bechtel and The Carlysle Group (a company the Bush family owned shares in for eons). But more important than the billions made from the destruction and rebuilding of these nations’ towns and cities is the fact that the primary focus of the United States military forces in both of these countries is the construction of giant military bases and oil wells. 
          If one looks at a map, they will notice that the country of Iran sits smack dab in the middle of these two countries, Iraq and Afghanistan. The United States, having lost nearly all the oil in Africa to the Chinese, is frantically running pipelines from the Caspian Sea down to the Persian Gulf, but they are having to go hundreds of miles out of their way in order to go around the country of Iran. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see why the United States might have a stake in making the Iranian people seem somehow “evil” or a threat. It would be a hell of a lot easier if the Iranian government would play ball as they used to — and as the countries of Iraq and Afghanistan currently are — and just let the Americans come on in and grab all that oil as in times past.
        Which leads to the real problem the United States government has with Iran. Everything to do with oil and very little to do with nuclear energy. The United States, as one will see by the examples listed below, does not like when other countries don’t do what they want them to. But they don’t sit on the sidelines and cry about it. They take action. Such was the case with Iran since the moment the United States won World War II. 
          After the war, Great Britain still “owned” Iran, as it had for decades. But in 1951 Iran’s first democratically elected president, Mossadegh, decided that British and American oil companies should start paying “fair market price” for Iran’s oil. So the CIA went into Iran and created a fake coup, kicked their president out and reinstalled the Shah (which simply means king in Farsi). They cut a deal with the ousted Shah that if they “reinstalled him” that he would in turn give Britain and the US as much Iranian oil as they wanted for pennies on the dollar. The deal would be a crushing blow to the Iranian economy and set the country back decades in the progress they had made as a new democratic republic. But Great Britain and the United States don’t like democracies. They like monarchies and dictatorships that they can easily bribe, swindle and manipulate. Never mind how it affects the people of any given country. As long is serves their interests. This is why the United States has been so busy “nation building” all over planet earth over the last sixty years. The only problem is that it is under the guise of “building democracies”, when in fact it is almost always the exact opposite. Destroying democracies and reinstalling dictatorships.
          With this new found nearly free and stolen oil the US and Great Britain started a new company to begin processing, refining, shipping and selling their oil. They called that company British Petroleum, or BP for short. It took the Iranian people 26 years to free themselves from this US/British tyranny — in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Not happy with Iran’s new freedom, the Unites States then hired and militarily supplied CIA bank-rolled dictator Saddam Hussein of Iraq to invade Iran in 1981, in an effort to regain control over Iran and their oil once more. They killed over 200,000 Iranians in the process. After Iraq proved unable to win the war, the Reagan White House became impatient and then decided to start funding both Iran AND Iraq with money and weapons so both countries would obliterate themselves and their oil could easily be taken over; hence Reagan’s infamous Iran Contra Affair.
          But this didn’t work either. Iran is a country of very strong, proud, perseverant and resilient people. They did whatever it took to defend their country from powers much greater than themselves. The war ended and the two countries decided to make nice and become allies. Ever since Iran is still trying to defend themselves against the America’s tyrannical lust to get their hands on their oil supply. This time it’s the threat of Iran’s nuclear energy program that the US is using as its newest excuse. God help these strong lovely poetic people.                      Of course Iran unfortunately wasn’t the first nor the last country to be treated this way by the United States government. They just happen to be the only one who has been able to hold out and defend themselves against U.S. tyranny and terrorism for this long. There was the CIA coup of Guatemala in 1954 (over fruit), the invasion of Vietnam killing 3 million of them (over their natural resources), the 1981 CIA assassination of Ecuador’s president (over oil), the 1981 CIA assassination of Panama’s president (over the Panama Canal), the US led coup toppling Nicaragua’s democratically elected Sandanista government, the 2002 CIA coup in Venezuela (over oil), Grenada, Cuba, Bolivia, and most recently Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Pakistan.
          The list goes on and on. If the United States didn’t have such a tainted and blood stained history in toppling foreign nations one might be able to believe their assertions that “Iran poses a threat with their nuclear program”. The problem is that we’ve heard that story one too many times from this country’s government in the past when in the end it always turns out to be a lie for ulterior motives. All one need do is repeat these three words — “W M D” — and any potential case against Iran is quickly closed. What the American people DO about this dire situation for the Iranian people is another story. The United States has already nearly bankrupted the country over the last few years with their economic sanctions, creating such high inflation — some estimate it to be over 1000% — that the average Iranian needs to carry around 500,000 Tumans to buy an airline ticket. As compared to the average American who would only need spend 500 dollars. This is not just “a natural thing” and has nothing to do with Iran’s normally robust economy, but instead a direct effect of UN Security Council sanctions against the Iranian people based on the very convincing demands of the United States.
          The term for this tactic is called “economic terrorism.” As bad as that is, and it is bad — (the United States did the same thing to Iraq throughout the 1990s and was responsible for the deaths of over one-million people, more than half of them children), the most frightening aspect of the whole charade is that the United States has a very clear and historically proven pattern that they follow when a country does not follow their orders. If bribery doesn’t work, they start economic terrorism. If that doesn’t work then they send in what they call “the Jackals”, hit men and assassins, as they did in the countries listed above. If the Jackals don’t work, then they send in the military, as they did in Iraq in “The Gulf War”. This is what the world is witnessing at this moment in time. Nothing has worked so far to veer the country of Iran off their path of sovereignty, so the United States is gearing up for yet another military invasion. They will need an excuse as always. It is obvious to everyone what that excuse will be.
          The question one need ask, more than any other in this moment, is this: are the American people and the citizens of earth from all the other countries that populate it going to once again sit on the sidelines and watch the United States invade yet another country? Or are they going to finally stand up and do something to prevent it? THAT is the million dollar question. It is up to each and every one of us to answer this question on our own, and THEN come together to create a globally collective strategy to move forward. One hopes we choose to do the right thing, rather than the most comfortable.

Conspiracies Yes. Theories No

August 6, 2012

I can’t recall how many times I have heard people refer to the dissemination of what’s really happening in the world today in regards to the global elite and the so called New World Order as “conspiracy theories”. Countless times. Obviously. The problem is that you can’t call something happening right in front of your face a “theory”. Conspiracies? Yes. Theories? Not even close. Not any longer.

I was first introduced to the idea that everything we see, hear and read in our mainstream day to day lives might not be the whole truth and nothing but the truth when I was around 19 years old from what I can remember. On my way to sound-check for a show we were doing one night down on South Beach. I see it as fate now. Because I have learned so much since those days. But back then it was just curiosity. I didn’t yet see the connection of everything and all things, how they all tie into each other. I looked down and noticed a strange and slightly disfigured picture of the Pope on a soaking wet, wrinkled up and sun ravaged pamphlet in a mud puddle on the ground. I was raised Catholic, and although at that time I was exploring many other religions of the world including atheism (yes that is most certainly a religion) and humanism, I certainly didn’t know anything about the so called “Catholic Church” being the least bit “evil”. Silly, unnecessary and man-made, yes. But not inherently and deliberately evil.

Now of course after many years of study, like anyone over the age of 21, I’ve come to realize that “The Church” as they arrogantly call themselves was nothing but a ruse, the declining Roman Empire disguising itself as a religious institution in order to use the fear of a God in order to continue to control the populace as they had for five centuries prior.
Something they’ve become even better at through the last fifteen centuries since they made the transition from overt dictatorship to covert theocratic oligarchy. I studied the materials and historical data that the pamphlet spoke of, how miserable the Catholic Church had made human beings on earth for centuries; how they secretly controlled large parts of the world and a major faction of human civilization; how they are actually not only one of the world’s largest and wealthiest corporations, but also their own freaking sovereign nation, housing themselves inside of Rome, but being totally separate from Rome and Italy. In other words, they could do whatever they wanted to under the guise and protection of “being a church”, but they also had the power of a corporation and as a country unto themselves to compete on the world stage in just about anything they wanted to. It began to make sense while growing up I had noticed that pretty much all world leaders from every country in the world make these strange visits to “the Pope” even if they aren’t Catholic. Getting permission one assumes… But this realization was only the beginning.

From there my research led me more into things like the Illuminati, global economics and the monetary system as a whole, how insidiously upside down it is to serve the very rich by taking from the very poor. Black magic, strange secret clubs and rituals. Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, The Bilderberg Group, the New World Order. On and on it went. There is no need for me to go into it here. For not only have I written about it extensively in the past in these pages, but all of it and more is covered in voluminous detail in the Pinterest Board I have put together entitled The Good Stuff! This is the reason for this particular Post. I receive the same questions on a pretty regular basis from friends and fans all over the world about which books or DVDs I would recommend to them to learn more about all these so called conspiracy theories. I receive even more queries about which self development courses I would recommend people take, which books to read about quantum physics or consciousness exploration and the New Age type stuff. It is impossible to answer each and every letter or email I get. So I decided to just compile a general list that would give anyone a decent head start on the path to learning about all of these various topics.

I’ve heard every excuse in the book for why certain individuals do not believe that the majority of people on planet earth are being led and controlled and are inadvertently and unknowingly fighting a global elite of a very small and select group of individuals that call themselves The New World Order. Some are just ignorant. But most people now are keenly aware of this fact, but just feel helpless to do anything about it. So they choose instead not to begin to dive into it because they feel there is nothing we can actually do about it. I disagree wholeheartedly with this assumption. There is plenty to be done. And indeed it is now reaching the point where our very survival will depend on whether we do something or not. Turn on the news for a few days, open your eyes and your mind, view the world and the events transpiring around the world right this very minute with a fresh viewpoint as if you are from another planet and seeing all these things for the very first time. It will become very clear within minutes that “those days”, THAT time, the one that’s been prophesied about and we’ve dreaded for so long is now here. Now. It’s happening right in front of us. Perhaps everything revved up so slowly that we never stopped to notice how insane things got, much like we do when watching children grow. One day they are toddlers and next thing we know they are graduating from college. Where did all the time go?

Well the same can be said about our place in human history in modern times. No one knows for sure what’s going to happen. Only a fool would say they do. But one thing is for sure. Our once great freedom loving United States of America has turned into a police state, seemingly over night. And there is mad chaos and pandemonium happening all over the world to a degree that we have never witnessed before. Again, there is no need for me to go into it here personally. For it will all be covered in the books and DVDs in the following Resource List in the aforementioned
Pinterest Board.

The most important thing for us all to realize at this time in our history is that there is nothing wrong with calling things as we see them. And there is nothing wrong with attempting to right the wrongs that we believe we see around us. Remember, it was the victims’ families of 9/11 who originally started calling attention to all the holes in the official story of that tragic event. Not some crazy conspiracy theorists as the powers that be would have us believe. But just plain old everyday peace and country loving Americans. They weren’t crazy to see how many questions were left unanswered about that day and the years and events that followed. They were just calling it as they saw it.

The same can be said for the rest of us. There are a host of serious problems we are facing as a people, against a small group of others who we know very little about. One thing we do know about them is that they seem to possess no empathy for their fellow man whatsoever. They are not like us in this regard. But as always I remain eternally optimistic and believe that in their hearts they are very much like us at some level. It is up to us to help them see the light once more and break free from the chains that bind them to greed, selfishness and the ability to commit some of the most heinous acts ever perpetrated against man by man. There is plenty of hope to be found in the world all around us. As things appear to be getting “worse”, they also seem to be simultaneously getting better. More and more people are waking up. So remember, you are not alone. WE are not alone.

NO matter what anyone calls you or accuses you of, if your aim is true and your intentions noble, you can believe in yourself. We are not guilty just because our views don’t happen to align with the deceit and lies perpetuated by the mainstream media and the governments of the world. We are not guilty even if they claim we are. They may accuse us of treason. But we all know that in the end what we really are in our hearts are brave patriots who love our country and love humanity. Nelson Mandela was found “guilty” in his home country and imprisoned for 27 years. But was he guilty? Never.

A caveat: remember that life is balance. We wouldn’t be here now if we were not meant to be. Which bodes well for us all. For if YOU are here, now, then it means there is a reason for it. You’ve got something to offer. But in order to give our best we have got to maintain our sense of peace and balance. As you begin to investigate the true mechanisms of how the world around us works, remember to balance it with an equal dose of actions and activities that bring love and peace and comfort to you. Turning yourself into a paranoid hermit who hates the world will not help anyone. It will only help accomplish what the powers that be want in the end, a world full of frightened robots and automatons who do as they’re told and nothing more nor nothing less. That isn’t why we were born. That’s not why we are here. And deep inside, in our core, we all are aware of this. Be not afraid. There are more of us that we realize..

There are people all over the world who are stepping up and taking charge to help in one noble goal or another. It is a miraculous time to be alive. My sincere belief is that there is much more good happening in the world around us at the moment than bad. It’s just that for whatever reason the governments of the world, our elected leaders, and the mainstream media don’t often focus on these things. But a little study will show anyone with an open mind that this is true. Whatever it is that you decide to do to help will be the right thing. Maintain a healthy neutrality. Remember to be positive in all actions and manners. And remember our oath to non-violence that we have seen work time and time again throughout our history. I have personally witnessed friends and colleagues get shot with rubber bullets or be sprayed in the face with burning pepper spray or be kicked to the ground and handcuffed and carted off to jail and still not raise a fist or put up a fight. These are bold actions. Bolder than those taken by people who immediately let their emotions get the better of them and resort to violence. Violence as we have learned only begets more violence. And that is the last thing the world needs more of at this time in our history.

My collecting and posting the books, websites and DVDs in the Pinterest Board entitled The Good Stuff is just one example of “doing something”. A wholehearted and compassionate attempt to help awaken others and answer as many of people’s questions about these topics as possible all in one shot. As we all do, I care. And if this helps, that would be a very good thing. There is no greater feeling in the world than helping another. At some point, I will also post my own personal Survival Items and Action Items Check List for the same reason. “Doing something” is the least that each of us can do.
