It is not surprising that people think their thoughts are the products of reason, logic, study, and experience. What is surprising is how little of what people think is a product of any of those valid uses of consciousness. People are far from rational these days. We can read about the ancient Greeks to find some examples of such thought, but even those were tainted with psychological usurpers of rationality and truth. The population of the world today is so heavily influenced what passes for reality is often total fiction.

The mind is an easy thing to mold. Helpless new humans require total care to survive. Many years of enculturation are applied to them. Love causes it. Good intentions often fail, though. When parents raise a child, they transmit to the child the foundation of it life. Upon that foundation is constructed the child’s added forms. Maybe you have noticed that children grow up to be like their parents and the society they were born into. If so, you have probably noticed the variations some exhibit. But all variations are built upon the foundation that began to be formed even before birth.

Modern man has devised plans for raising children. They take what they do from the various influences and do their best to do right by their cherished children. Some, of course, don’t cherish the children so much. That creates in the children a foundation that has an infinite number of characteristics. There are so many variations in people it is probably impossible for any two to be exactly alike. Similarities are more common than differences. This has not yet made it possible for all people to live in peace and joy together. That is why I am sitting here on this beautiful winter day typing as fast as I can.

I am convinced that mankind can attain world peace. That alone would be a miracle. However, I think there are attainments that make world peace seem almost trivial. There are far greater things to accomplish. I would write of things I am sure are withing our future that most would scoff at and think me crazy. But just like you, I think what I think. Unlike you, I am. That little phrase is amusing to me. I hope you enjoyed it.

Billions of unique individuals are dispersed across the globe that has sustained us without cosmic interruption for a very long time. We are lucky a comet has not crashed into the earth. In geologic-time, or universal-time, we have just begun. We have a golden opportunity. It will not last long relative to the time of the universe. The life of the sun is all too brief. Our chance is here, now.

I have yet to encounter someone personally who sets sights on things as grandiose as I want the billions of people to help me accomplish. This is not to say or imply that there are none. I have encountered a percentage of the people so small I would have to use exponents in mathematically quantifying the percentage. I have been hoping I am not alone in it since 1971. So far, I am. If you are reading this, and I know you are, your company is appreciated. Your help would be welcome. Together we can ascend from this planet and reach out to the stars. We can attain things I am afraid to even list here because I have already experienced the reactions of hundreds of people to them. The people are components of public opinion.

Elementary observation reveals huge similarities of public opinion. Who among us thinks death is inevitable? See what I mean. Who among us things that babies grow up to become adults? It is taken for granted so totally people do not even think about it. They don’t engage in thoughts about the fact of being born. Mankind is so homogenized milk envies us. Yet, we pride ourselves in the little differences. We find our identity there and never question “identity.” I chuckled just then from writing that statement. Not because it is funny, but because it is so astonishing. It seems to me that identity would be one of the first things consciousness would engage. Instead, study of history shows it to be one of the most important factors in such things as war, murder, crime, discord, suffering, sorrow, death and maybe all social problems. I must be but a part, though.

Life is such a miracle! We are all here right now. The stage is set and the momentum is powerful. Life on Earth is just being born. Perhaps there is life elsewhere. I hope so. If there is, I hope we are not in danger from it. If there are lifeforms out there that are like us, we are probably in great danger if we are discovered. It may be good fortune that planets are so far apart. On the other hand, maybe other life forms are already here and they are benevolent. Speculation is fun and frightening. That is the adventure of life. I am hoping that we as a people will realize our opportunity and finally rise above the little things that cause all the social problems. This is our chance. Let’s seize it. Love is and always has been the answer, the way, the reason. Just try it.

Discoveries in psychology have shown us why people behave the way they do. The work of early scholars and scientists gave us some fundamentals, but their work has been continued by each new generation. By the early 1900s the field of psychology was becoming so profound offshoots began to emerge. Public Relations emerged and there was soon a public relations council.

In his book Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923), Edward Bernays wrote that of all fields none have “touched upon intimate and important aspects of everyday life of the world more significantly than the profession of public relations counsel.” Bernays was integral in the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI) in WW I. He was hired by the American Tobacco Company to break down the aversion to smoking held by the female half of humanity. His firm was able to nearly double cigarette sales. He assisted the CIA in well-documented campaigns that successfully overthrew the democratically elected president of Guatemala. His firm used the media of the time and other methods to reach the opinions of the population of that nation so profoundly he was able “manufacture public thought.” People mistake their opinions for thinking.

They are innocent victims of manipulation so profound it installs resistance to it that guards against reality. The incredible things people are writing on this thread and millions of others is profound testimony of near total subjugation to forces they desperately need to recognize.

Edward Bernays, Walter Lippmann, and Edward S. Herman wrote books long ago that will help the victims of opinion manipulation, but people who have been subjected to the hypnotic power of modern media, such as this social media application, are not going to read them. The people who have the resources to utilize the knowledge that has emerged from psychology over the past one hundred years or so know this. That is why they are not worried about being prosecuted.

I already know how the victims of psychological manipulation will respond to the various posts that come across the social media sites including this one. People are making fools of themselves. Eventually they are so deeply embarrassed they have a subconscious aversion to reality and begin to behave so irrationally they cannot function. Life never provides them with fulfillment and disease accompanies senescence until old age is a frightful decline into decrepit bodily and mental condition the makes death a desirable relief. They think it is normal and submit to it so profoundly they never even catch a moment’s glimmer of thought about another way. They take their enculturation from parents, family, and others and submit to the power of manipulation from those who want to use the power of the people for purposes until independence is so profoundly negated there is no freedom left. The human psyche is not able to tolerate it long. People kill themselves, take drugs, drink alcohol, and behave so irrationally they make history a horror, today a nightmare, and tomorrow a failed dream. So, go ahead. Post something stupid. Make fools of yourselves and be certain you are just fine.

I posted this on MeWe because people were posting some crazy stuff.

Studying history as I do every day has only further revealed the repetition of what is going on now and has always gone on. There have always been those who use the people like chattel. We are beasts of burden for them and history has shown what happens when the beasts try to break free.

Mankind has frequently become fed up with being chained to the service of some pharaoh, king, or other designation. The war with England that resulted in the USA was soon followed by the French Revolution. Unlike the Americans, the French executed their masters. Most people have at least heard mention of the storming of the Bastille in France. They don’t know what that means way too often. But a very small percentage of the people know that the people who stormed the Bastille (a prison) then stormed the palace and executed an estimated 1500 people, mostly by guillotine. The exact figures are not relevant to the fact that the people rose up and attacked the rulers. It didn’t really do much good. The things they revolted against eventually were back in place.

Whether by genius or accident, there are systems in place throughout time and place that have always kept the association of people arranged in a pyramid-type of hierarchy. Those at the top benefit from the work of the rest. As it has come down to us today, money seems to be the lynch pin. In the past, before the lands of Earth were deeded and guarded, money was not as totalitarian as it is now. When the New World was found, the kings and queens instantly made claims to the lands of about half of the world. This is the way they managed to ensure that they would be at the top of the pyramid.

A human must have a place to exist. This is so elementary most people have not considered it. Now is the time to do so. Every one of us requires land to stand on. Water surfaces do not negate the fact that we need land to exist. That means that control of the land subjects those who do not have control must ask those who do for permission to exist. You can die or you can ask for permission. There is really no alternative. This is an oversimplification, but too many people don’t have what it takes of follow more detailed descriptions. With the evolution of money, the permission to exist became something the people at the top of the pyramid didn’t need to be bothered with any longer. The money system (monetary system) became something like a robot that took care of the duties of the king and gave him more time to do whatever else he wanted to do. It is a perfect system of dominance. Well, it was for a long time that is.

Historical examples show us that the people enjoying themselves at the top of the social pyramids eventually make mistakes that rally the people. This is a simple problem of the few controlling the many. There has never been a means to effectively resist the people when they combine to right wrongs, or even to do more wrongs. The power is always with the people. It just lies unorganized until it wakes up. The royalty and nobility of eighteenth-century France did exactly that. They let the people starve and suffer while they lived in splendor and abundance. They could have continued to do so if they had not become so disdainful of the “commoners.” Once the suffering of the people became too great and the news of the attitude of the people at the top of the pyramid became known or thought to be callous disregard, they revolted. That is what we are experiencing right now.

The election of 2020 has made it clear that “something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” Regardless of your place in the opinion ranking, it is obvious that people are opposed almost in completely opposite views regarding something that is not possibly both ways. Either the election was stolen or it wasn’t. Either Trump is worse than Hitler or he is not. Either the people protesting on January 6, 2021 in Washington DC were terrorists or they were not. The fact that there might have been some terrorists there does not negate the diametrically opposite views. There are many other examples, but the point is that the people, the general public, is divided sharply in opposing views. This cannot stand. It will not stand. What is happening is the human instinct to resolve controversy.

All but the most biased person realizes that something is wrong. People cannot be divided so dramatically. It is a mistake the masters of the people have failed to correct and failed to prevent. The causes of the failure is another book, but to put it into a brief statement, they were shocked. When Trump won the election in 2016, they couldn’t believe it. They had failed to recognize the facts and were not prepared. That caused them to make big mistakes.

They are beginning to calm down a bit now that they have managed to regain control of the government. But it is too late. The rabbit is already out of the hat. Nothing can be done to put it back. What remains for the people is the reunion in the family that is mankind.

Brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, and on down the list are all in the same boat. We are trying to live in the world as we found it when we were born and as it has changed since. We are serfs, subjects, slaves, chattel, minions to the few people who live what has been called the “lifestyles of the rich and famous.”

History has made it clear that the situation is old. That can be thought to mean that it was the way it had to be, but not that it is the way it needs to be now. Far from it. When you detach from the enculturation, or even when you make an effort in a specialized area of understanding, you can realize that modern life has lost most similarity to the past. It is now possible for mankind to live in overflowing abundance without having to struggle constantly at work, survival, and safety. The recent revolutions so fondly named, Industrial, High Tech, and many others have made the old norms obsolete. It is not necessary to have some few at the top of a social or economic pyramid. Working together for the mutual benefit of all can now perform a revolution that will make all history seem to have been necessary. What is possible was not possible before.

I hope that the transition to the new ways will not be too painful. I fear that the people who are at the top of the pyramids will not easily realize their own gains by changing to a family-style of social organization. The family of man is the only way we will survive the accumulated effects of human history. It is not Capitalism or Communism or Socialism. It is family. The limits being advocated of choosing between those three is just the people at the top trying to avoid having to change. The family of man is the future. There is incredible potential for massive destruction and suffering, but I personally do not think it is the future we will see. I think we are going to have a global epiphany.

There is no need for money now. We work without pay and we get what we get without having to pay. It is a familial cooperation that will make everyone live better than the richest of today can possibly live. Let me clarify that.

The world today is the world we get from the way we conduct or social efforts. The world we will get from working together as equals in the modern results of historical legacy will bear little resemblance to the world today. The crimes, wars, conflicts, hardships, dangers, and virtually every problem we have will be gone. New ones will come up as we leave the nest and go into the rest of the universe exploring and being amazed. This oversimplification is difficult for me to do. What I see in the future is far beyond the vision of people today, including me. I have a glimpse. My imagination takes that glimpse and builds a picture from it. I think things we now take for granted will become seen as foolish. It goes much deeper and farther than I am willing to share with you here. I have to guard against the psychological nature of mankind. People are not ready for a lot of what they could very well be ready for and actually experience in this life. It can come very fast. Or it can take more time. We all know that time is relative, and the universe seems to be infinite. One last thing, the spiritual promise is even greater. The people who enjoy that way the world is today may be the last to realize what they have to gain, but they will. The future is bright. Today is the promise.

I think there are not many adults who do not know what tyranny is. I know there are not many who know what absolute tyranny is. I know because I see people. I watch them and communicate with them. The absolute tyranny they personify is horrifying.

People are a strange life form. Human beings! The great creation in the image of God. It must be looks alone. I sure hope the minds of the people are not like God’s mind. I want to think that God is far smarter and wiser. If he is, he must be so confounded with humans it defies omnipotence to remedy the folly of modern human beings.

Today is Sunday, January 10, 2021. The news is out that the new social media site Parler is being attacked by the people who operate the high-tech control of speech. Apple has announced they will remove the application from the Apple Store. They don’t want you to have it. “Parler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to people’s safety. We have suspended Parler from the App Store until they resolve these issues,” said Apple in a statement on Saturday.

The people and organizations that have been pounding the minds of the people with indoctrination that makes people think it is good to object to certain words, statues, speeches, and other items in the free speech realm are not even trying to hide their crimes now. They think they have control so absolute they don’t need to hide. The 2020 election has fueled the misunderstanding that will be the cause of their demise.

Tyranny has come and gone among human societies since the beginning of time. Absolute tyranny has not been possible until now. Human accomplishments have advanced social systems and human consciousness for thousands of years, but the sudden changes of the past three hundred years have provided for all of humanity, even the worst. Just consider the sudden ability of a human to go from one place to another faster than a ship or an animal can carry them. Thousands of years of slow travel vanished into the past as mankind developed what we now have. We can fly! Fast! Then we have also the ability to communicate even faster than we can travel. Science brought us wondrous helpful things. Through it all access to the new inventions and systems were regulated. When the automobile, horseless carriage, came along in the series of amazing things, only the people who had enough money could have one. Noting has changed. Only the people who have enough money can have what they want. That is what made the world as we now know it. Tyrannical.

It was not enough for tyrants to regulate the acquisition of new things. They had to regulate the minds of their subjects. Notice the possessive character of the word “subject.” The tyrants think they own the people. In the most important aspect of ownership, they are correct. Only after mankind suffered the ups and downs of history for thousands of years did it become possible for the tyrants to gain the tools to fortify their tyranny enough to qualify as absolute tyranny.

Tyranny is absolute when the subjects of tyranny do not know they are subjects. The best tyranny is held by those who have subjects who believe they are free. The mind is a terrible door through which absolute tyranny reaches. You are reading this on the internet. It is part of a greater system of tyrannical absolute control. We developed radio wave generation and control. That may have been the beginning of the end of freedom. It made it possible to affect the minds of people in large numbers.

Radio, television, printed media, and the internet have brought about a means to reach millions of people with influences. Influences! That is a hell of a word. We are human. We have minds that are psychologically beyond our control. But they are not beyond influence. In fact, the past one hundred and fifty years or so saw the discovery and development of designed influence that can be used to attack the minds of millions with the same influences. You are already familiar, probably in a cursory and casual way, with the concept of propaganda. Well, propaganda was developed into mind control. That is what made absolute tyranny possible.

MK-ultra was a project that leaked to the public. It caused some irritation, but it soon went away. People get old and die. During the process their attention moves. Popular topics vanish. Old injuries heal. Irritations are soothed. But the ability to control the mind of a human being did not vanish. It didn’t even slow. It was jumped on like sinners in hell jump on a glass of water. The simile is intentional. I think the people who want to control the mind of another are evil. Mind control is absolute tyranny. Tyranny of the mind pleases tyrants far more than the chains of slavery or the rule of law.

In the United States of America people think they are a free people. It is only astonishingly effective mind control that allows them to think so. American are so far from free it seems it should not even require proof. But it does. Hundreds of millions of American prove every day that they are not free and still they do not see it. They use terms like “earn a living” as freely as they use the word “I.” They get jobs and go to work all their lives at the only jobs available without once thinking about the fact that a job is a service to someone or some organization, which is owned by someone; even when it is a stock corporations traded in the stock exchanges. There are countless proofs of the fact that Americans are not free people, but one that should make it obvious and doesn’t is the myriad of laws.

Every law is a limitation of freedom. Every single one. It doesn’t matter if the law is agreed to be necessary. It is a restraint, a limit. We can not be free and restrained at the same time. Heavily indoctrinated people are quick to prove they are not free when they offer the implanted knee -jerk responses that follow the same patterns: America is the greatest country there is; American have more freedom that other nations; laws are necessary; and millions of others. All those responses are proof that their minds are not free to even think.

People think. That seems to be true. Do they think correctly? Not very often. Are their thoughts really thoughts, or are they programming. We are all born totally helpless and ignorant. We have to assisted by adults. They teach us. In other words, the indoctrinate us. Call it “enculturation,” “acculturation,” call it “raising kids.” It does not matter if you call it freedom. It is what it is and that is all there is to it. I like to call it programming because it is so like writing code for software or robots. People program their kids and others. It does not need to be intentional. In fact, the unintentional programming has been shown to be more effective and beneficent. We like to think of it as “experience.” What a joke!

Experience is a funny thing. We have learned that eyewitness cannot report the same account of controlled laboratory experiments. People cannot pass a message along unchanged very far. All experience is filtered through the programming. That is why people do not take from the same experience the same lessons. It may be impossible to do so. Even if we become totally true and correct recipients of experiences, we may not take away the same experience. We take from our experiences a unique psychological effect.

Some incredible people have given us a new science known today as psychology. They use the word “ego” a lot. It is complicated, but what is not complicated is the fact they made clear regarding how people predominantly evaluate themselves incorrectly. Arrogance is evident in the Old Testament. Humans have long thought of themselves as something really special and endowed with greatness. Pedophilia, necrophilia, world wars, patricide, and countless other horrors of human behavior seem to have little effect on the arrogance. In it, and in countless known and unknown, human behavior the total lack of freedom is evident. We are at best prisoners of our own psychology. Most people, I have discovered, are not even capable of conceiving freedom. If I spelled it out here, most would write me off as a kook. It is what humans do to things that do not fit their programming. We burned heretics, witches, and others. We hung black men for looking at a white woman. We killed innovators. We transistorized people who are different, but we still think we are a free people in a free country. We can’t even separate the idea of government from our illusions of freedom. Governed is the opposite of free. Fools!

Writing this is an infuriating thing to do for me. I see the potential that we have and am angry that people are so lost. It is my way of shielding myself from the anguish caused by the knowledge of suffering and death in a world that is rapidly taking on the character of abject and absolute tyranny.

Our nation is experiencing the sharpest division since the war between the states. I don’t approve of the name given it. It was not civil. It was barbarity caused by differences of opinion. In a world of psychological beings who have yet to attain rationality, such things keep happening. Our hundreds of millions of people are standing in direct opposition regarding some very simple things; things that cannot be both of what they are thought to be on the opposing sides. There is nothing natural about the division but the psychology of the people. The division is man-made.

We all live in the world as it has changed since we got here. It was already greatly changed by mankind when we were born. Since then it has changed. Slow change is more difficult to detect. That is why the change from the constitutional form that established the government of the “new world” has become the opposite of what was hoped by the founders without people realizing it. The opposite has happened. Millions of people believe that the changes are good and necessary. They are cooperating in such things as removing gender pronouns from the language; tearing down historical monuments and statues, teaching their children that they are not bound by their biological sex. The number of insane things now thought to be the picture of rational thinking and sanity are too many to list. In a land that fought a war that abolished slavery, people think Americans are racists. Transvestites are invited to schools to normalize transgender and gender bending. Cross-dressing is being treated as a minority right of such importance it is beginning to rival minority rights of people who have handicaps. As if the LGBT have the majority power, the entire makeup of American society is being changed to meet their wishes. All of this and much more is nothing but the execution of long range plans by the tyrants who are not hiding any more.

All information is being censored publicly. They are announcing it for the world to hear and see. There is no fear that the “free” Americans will stop them. Why is that? It is because they have consolidated their control and fortified themselves against the free people. They no longer fear that we will “storm the Bastille.”

“Enculturation is the process by which people learn the dynamics of their surrounding culture and acquire values and norms appropriate or necessary to that culture and its worldviews. As part of this process, the influences that limit, direct, or shape the individual (whether deliberately or not) include parents, other adults, and peers. If successful, enculturation results in competence in the language, values, and rituals of the culture.” wikipedia

Is it possible that you do not fully understand the profundity of enculturation? I think it is. In fact, I think it is probably the largest failing of the human species in its entire history and today. If people fully understood it, the world would not have transpired as it has. If people realize it today, the future will take a sharp turn, and for the better.

Maybe we needed to be enculturated. I don’t know. It could even be that we still need to have our “values and norms” written into us. I think it may serve a purpose I cannot understand or detect. Who know? I was subjected to it just like everyone else. Maybe I am just a product of it. Anything is possible. On the other hand, I had a dramatic experience in 1971 that could have broken me out of it.

I have written extensively about my experience way back then. I have lived blissfully since, so I am glad it happened. One thing about being blissful is the lack of company. I have spent all my life since that day trying to help everyone or anyone become as blissful as I am or more. I have had to learn a lot, and there is still so much to learn I realize I cannot. I am seventy years old right now, 2020, and worried about the survival of life on this planet.

I think we are perilously close to exploding a lot of nuclear bombs. Then there is the ungodly volume of nuclear waste precariously sitting somewhere. Even human caused changes to the atmosphere threaten. Even if we avoid such pitfalls and even if I live to five hundred years old, I probably couldn’t learn enough. There is a not of accumulated knowledge.

I have boiled what I know down to a few points that I think will help. This post is to that end. If we can realize that we are not really independent individuals, it might help. We have to realize that we have been enculturated, (sometimes spelled acculturated) and find ways to become better. It is not enough to parrot our culture. We are in dire need of new ways.

I am convinced that by letting love become what it can within you, that you will be “reborn” in some way. I rather like to think of it as a way to rise above programming, the programming that is also known as enculturation. Doing so makes it possible to recreate ourselves as we would like to be. Love has an effect, at least it did on me, that could be the same for everyone. The problem is that love is different for everyone.

“Love is love and not fade away.” That lyric is a revision of the original Buddy Holly song. The Rolling Stones revised it this way. It says to me that love is love and is does not fade. There are probably as many version of love as there are people. We need a more concreted definition. I don’t know what it would be. I can tell you this, there is a love that can put you into a bliss that will not fade, cannot be destroyed, and comes with so many wonderful effects I cannot list them. That is the love we need. Maybe I was luck, or maybe something caused it for me. Regardless, my experience revealed it, to me at least. I was dramatically transformed.

As the experience unfolded, and there must have been about fifteen minutes involved, I felt myself to be an infant suspended in the air above my twenty-year old body looking down at myself. I realized that I was not a product of my own creation, that I was just full of crap unable to explain most of what I was and what I thought. It was very realistic. I was an infant looking down at me. Subsequent reading has made me aware of “out-of-body” experiences. Well, I was having one, I think, but I was in a body, a baby body. From there I decided I had to start over.

I made a decision to remake myself as I thought I want to be. I was not very old, so there was not a lot to redo. I reentered my body and was almost instantly launched into a feeling of overwhelming joy. It was so powerful I thought my heart would fail. So, I went to the sink and splashed water on my face and calmed down. Since that night, I have lived in the joy that frightened me so much I thought I couldn’t handle it. I call it bliss. I wish it for all.

The years since then are beyond this post. I just want to say that my original intent was to love everyone in the world the way I loved a girl. I loved her so much she was far more important to me than I was to myself. She caught me when I was fifteen and broke up with me two months later. Then she took me back. That happened six times. When I wanted to see if loving everyone was The Answer, I asked myself what is love. I chose the love I had for that girl. I think that was a key element in my transformation. It has evolved a lot.

I now love all living things, the world, the universe, everything that has ever happened, everything that is happening, God, and everything else. What ever that is. It is unconditional love. It has no “because.” It needs no recipient. It needs no return. It is just a general and dominating love. I could write a book about it. Perhaps I will someday. Unconditional love is exactly what the word implies. It makes it possible to love the worst of humans. It makes it possible to understand that everything is unfolding the way it has to. It also makes it possible to influence the way things unfold. That is what I am doing right now.

I hope that it will not be necessary to explode the nukes. I hope and intend. We have to act. Life demands breathing and many other things. This proves the necessity to act. Beyond that the necessity to act becomes so complicated it has defied human consciousness for thousands of years at least. Even doing nothing is an act. If we must act, we must have the power to influence things. If we have the power to influence things whether we do so intentionally or not, I choose intentional. All I want is the total fulfillment of every living thing and a lot more. I will not settle for less. If you knew what I hope for, you would likely write me off. So, I will keep some to myself. I’ll add this, I don’t want anything that is not the absolute best I can hope for for everyone and everything. I am a close son of God. So, I trust him. I do not feel separate from God. I think we can act to assist him. I think we urgently to act. Even if all things blow up, it is not the end, but I don’t want to take that path. We don’t have to. It is really up to us, all of us. I can’t do it alone. Join me.

There are two reasons the theft of the election is so successful. Corrupt politicians and fake news. If we can get one important politician indicted, it will provide the information on others for leniency. I think it is likely that it can happen. Fake news is altogether another matter and more difficult to address.

People are born, live, and die. I know you know this. But consider new generations not understanding what journalism was fifty years ago or more. I study the media by reading books and other methods. I am convinced that the media has become the most formidable weapon to use against the people. By that I mean, the entire population of the world. The People. I have seen by watching the broadcasts that what passes for journalism today is not like it was fifty years ago. I have read in books that modern education of  students in the field of “journalism” teaches them to present the news in ways that “prevent the wrong information from being publishes,” and other proactive ideas. They are trying to take control of the people on grounds of protecting them. Information that can lead people to conclusions undesired are not being allowed. When they do occur, they are “fact checked” and messages are added. Anyone can see it for themselves by looking at some Twitter feed, Facebook page, YouTube, or other high-tech source. Even the printed media is involved. The way they are able to control public opinion has reached a level I think it brainwashing.

It must be understood that enculturation is like brainwashing, but the media is not enculturating people. It is controlling them like they are robots that can be programmed and made to respond according to predesigned programming. It is insidious and criminal. The criminals who are able to use the media to control the people are obviously the very rich. The minions who serve them are protective cannon fodder. They are victims mostly, but there are recruits as well. The very rich are able to get people to join them willingly. This is made dramatic in movies about hired assassins. Many people will do anything if it pays enough. Some want to be on the winning side. It varies, but the fact that we are under attack using an information weapon built upon the relatively new power of psychology.

In the early 1900s, and obviously earlier in less profound ways, humans began to learn how to affect the opinions, feelings, thought processes, and actions of great numbers of humans. They extrapolated the knowledge and created the massive propaganda history of World War I. They used it to get females to change their attitudes regarding smoking cigarettes almost doubling the market for the tobacco industry. Psychologists had already delved deeply into the workings of the human brain. Reactions were categorized and analyzed. Psychiatry evolved from it. The use of such information seemed academic to most people, but there was a select group who saw a use for it.

Control of the masses has been long desired by the very rich. Kings could have benefited greatly by knowing what makes people “tick.” Consider, please, the way the military of the world uses psychology to manipulate people into becoming soldiers. This entire post is telling you something you already know but have not carried it to it inevitable revelations. To shorten this message, the media today is a result of more than a hundred years of developing the ability to control the opinions and behavior of people in huge numbers. We are seeing it in action in the election and other things.

Millions of people are so afraid of Trump they are willing to do anything to protect this nation and its people from him. They are totally justified. I know that sounds crazy to Trump supporters. So, consider the information that caused them to fear Trump. It all comes from the media with a small dab that comes from association with other people. If you believed all the fake news says about Donald Trump, you would fear him too. They are doing the right thing as they understand it. So are you. So am I. Unless you have made the decision to be evil, you do what you do because it seems to you at the time and place to be the right thing to do when your desires are factored into it. I am fighting the urge to go into this too far. I just want you to realize that the “never-Trumpers” are totally justified because they base their opinions on the information they believe, which they got from the media.

Where can we get information? Few think of this question. So, I will tell you, we get it in two way; direct experience and form communication. We watch videos these days, but they are a from of communication. Anything you do not experience yourself can only be considered using communicated information. Even the awareness of something you do not experience yourself must come from communications. To be thorough, we can think of things we do not experience and that have not been communicated to us, but it is rare. I think the entire universe can be deduced. I just don’t know anyone who is doing it. Surely, there are things we realize by mental means. If they were a larger percentage of human opinion building and actions, I would delve deeper here. For now, just think of the complexity of the world, especially the world of human activity, by seven billion people and you will see clearly that few people are able to cognize it. Even the most travelled, educated, and connected person alive can only see the world in a view greater than as though looking through a pin hole in blinders. Opinion formation is a deep subject with a precipitous learning curve. That is why specialization, compartmentalization are being used by those who have nothing more expedient to do. Most of us are too busy to endeavor in such things even if we wanted to and have not the money to do so if we did. But the very rich have all they need. All but a heart, that is.

I can’t think of a more urgent mission than getting control of the media back. It used to be journalism that provided the facts and let the people decide. Now it is mind-control weapons. It is, as Trump said, the enemy of the people. The first thing that must be done is getting people to think about it. Then to reach out to the victims of the media and help them. It is not easy. I know. The programming of human minds by the media includes resistance programming.

If you are shocked by the behavior of never-Trumpers when presented with facts, you have seen the programmed response resisting it. It is all very complicated and there is so much I want to present it is impossible. I have to settle for what I can do and be happy with that.

It is not enough to fight for Trumps election. It is not enough to praise him and denigrate Biden. We can post trillions of pretty and cogent pictures with captions without getting anything done. People who consult the posts are the ones who don’t need the information. They already know it or agree with it. The problem is reaching the people who are under the control of fake news. How do we reach them? If Trump prevails and takes another four years, we will still have these problems. His presidency is not going to change it. The problem is too engrained in the fabric of human societies. We must become better people. All of us. We must stop allowing our enculturation to form our opinions and outlook. We have to find a way to love. Love is the answer to it all.

I have written my fingers numb trying to relate to people how love works. I will not go further here. You can read some of my writings at www.thepowerofthepeople.org.

The depths of anguish are unplumbable. Learning is fraught with knowledge. The bliss of ignorance is attractive. There is no sanctuary for ignorance, no safe place to ignore the facts. The bliss is dangerous. Somehow, the mass of humanity must be imbued with the facts all at once. A snap of a magician’s fingers would do it. God’s overwhelming of human minds with a total and perfect consciousness of all that has ever happened would surely plunge everyone into the depths of anguish do deeply we would suffocate and vanish from the universe. Can that be the only way to stop the unconscionable behavior of human beings?

Anguish pulls me deeper as knowledge come to light in my mind. I study every morning with rare exceptions caused by the exigencies of life. It is 2020 years since Jesus, arguably. Life today bears almost the exact same look as it did when Jesus walked. There are more people now, an estimated 7 billion. Estimates range around 300 million when Jesus was alive. After all that time, people have not changed much. The world they live in has changed a lot while affecting people in many ways mostly imperceptible.

Mankind seems to be slowly grinding the world into dust as they grind ahead and then fall back repeatedly. I think there is a slow advancement in mankind, but the slightest moat of dust seems to have the power to erase it instantly. How long can it continue? Questions demand attention despite aversion to them.

Question increase as facts come to light. I sit here trying to splash my feelings and thoughts across the keyboard. They assail my being with inspiration mated with anguish. I learn things. Horrible things. They are not the deeds of hideous monsters from fairy tales or fiction. They are things that humans have done. I would vomit my heart into my hands and sooth it if I could. Strangely, but not surprisingly, my heart is well equipped to cope with the anguish. It is simply part of me to be able to feel all feelings within my invincible bliss. Without it I would probably not be learning as I am. Something would hold me away from it. Some guiding hand, some subconscious reflex, some better consciousness of my soul. Instead, I feel and think a guiding hand is showing me. A hand that guided me to the bliss that makes it possible for me to withstand the knowledge. I feel God’s hand upon my shoulder, but I feel too small to even try to know him. My little mind doesn’t feel up to the task. I rely on love.

I may not be able to know God, but I have love. I can realize God more as time with love unfolds the universe before me. His love enfolds me at all times. Nothing can take that from me. Love became part of me, and my life embarked in a new direction. It feels like a journey to knowing God better. Knowing the facts of history must be necessary. Why else would they be coming so hard and fast? I ponder these things and more this morning in response to an accidental lesson I would like to share. Even if none dare read my words, the writing of them feels right to me.

I was studying a book by Walter Lippmann written sometime around 1914, Public Opinion. I have read another by him, Drift and Mastery. Public Opinion opens with a story that mentions the trial of Madame Caillaux for the murder of Gaston Calmette. I couldn’t understand what I was reading, so I went to the computer and looked up Madame Caillaux. It turned out to be an historical event. I had thought Lippmann had invented the whole thing to develop a point. No. He had made up a story that included the historical event. Well, the event led me along a path of discovery that ripped at my heart. One thing leads to another when you don’t pass over something you don’t understand, as I do.

Mr. Lippmann was writing his book a few years prior to World War I. The world will never be the same after that war. The trial of Madame Caillaux, in which she was acquitted even though she did actually murder Mr. Calmette, reflects the general mood of the times. I think mankind would benefit greatly by gaining a better comprehension of that part of time. The Industrial Revolution was pounding down the track of history and the world was on the verge of “the war to end all wars,” or so they thought. Trying to better comprehend Mr. Lippmann’s words lead me into more research about World War I. The anguish overcame me quickly.

I inadvertently, though it is my way, followed the information by looking up everything that seemed to need comprehension I lacked in sufficient quantity and quality. I saw a reference to emigration in the material regarding the conflict between the belligerents of the war. I don’t remember why I clicked on the word. It was a link. You click on it and another page opens on the screen. I like to check out such links. This one opened by eyes to horrors. Of course, the links about WW I did too. But, for some reason, this one hit me harder. If you are not well acquainted with the history of WW I, you are part of the problem. History must be known by everyone if we are to survive. It wasn’t that long ago. You will understand how relevant it is to your life if you follow this writing and/or if you do the study regarding WW I. At least, I hope you will understand. That may be a “pie-in-sky” foolish hope. I realize that. But I can hope.

As I poured over article about WW I this morning, I read a lot about the various people and nations involved. That led me to the link to emigration. The word itself required deeper understanding. So the next thing I knew, I was reading about “population transfer.” That is when it hit me.

Population transfer is a part of our history. Believe it or not! Humans have forced entire populations of like people to leave their homes. Look it up! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_transfer Don’t you dare not look. You are part of the world I live in. We are obligated to each other whether we like it or not.

Today is unlike any other day that ever came before. But there is one think that has not changed and probably cannot change. We all live right here together on this planet. You make up a part of the world, as do I. Your contribution and mine are the business of both. We seem to like to pretend that we have our own business and that mine is mine and yours is yours. Reality includes you and I. So, our very existence makes the world we both are forced to inhabit. If you follow the logic, even if you move to a distant planet, you would still be part of the universe, of reality. You cannot be out of my reality nor I yours. The effect we have on one another varies, but the fact of effect cannot be abrogated. Isn’t that a fact we should be able to assimilate profoundly enough to join together in common cause? I think it is, but reading about population transfer and “push and pull factors” tells me joining has not been the way for too long already.

My heart aches with the knowledge of historical population transfers. As a man of Cherokee ancestry, I feel, somehow, a deep pain when I think of the Trail of Tears. Reading about the ancient Assyrian population transfer of about three thousand years ago, the 800, 000 Albanian deportations of 1999, and 12 million Germans expulsed after WW II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_and_expulsion_of_Germans_(1944%E2%80%931950) tears my heart. I commiserate even with the dead. I cannot help it, nor do I intend to. I see the lack of such commiseration as one of the greatest crimes possible. But when I live in a nation that is the recipient of massive migration, the relevance of the crime is immediate. As the clues accumulate indicating human capacity for horror even worse than population transfers, relevance weighs upon every living thing and the earth, too.

The urgency of our time is not being recognized fast enough. Especially in the United States of America. The other nations of the world are not known well enough to me. I cannot, therefore, know how fast the urgency is being recognized there. I think, though, that they are at least similarly unaware. There has been a homogenization of human social groups that holds promise of greatness while at the same time a possibility of total destruction. The world has become the product of the characteristics of the human race.

In the popular history of mankind, true or not, the population is said to have steadily increased from about a million 12,000 years ago to about seven billion today. I personally think the history of mankind is still incompletely known. Twelve thousand years of continual activity by increasing numbers of people has transformed the surface of the land, the composition of the water and the air. Even outer space is littered with things put there by humans. The planets of our solar system now bear the marks and burden of human effort. If we had our way, we would already be doing the same to planets orbiting other stars. We are poised on the razor thin edge between survival and extinction. You are not entitled to your own facts. You are obligated to know the truth. There is plenty of room for different opinions even when all know the truth about everything. I have some difficulty rationalizing them, but I can entertain the possibility of differences of taste. Given the fact of “identity,” differences must be part of reality. However, I see not way to abrogate the exigencies our near identical existence demand. When taken in their full measure, the differences between the divisions humans have constructed between the many forms of life are almost trivial. “Life” is clearly a commonality we all share. I would go so far as to conjecture that matter and energy comprise all we know. What is the difference between a rock and a whale? Not much. We think of the differences because we are psychologically bound. Our perceptions are the foundations of our discernment between rocks and whales. We like to give ourselves profundity because we are conscious. The possibility that most of our consciousness is subconsciousness seem to have little influence on our self-aggrandizement. And this completes the circle.

People have easily available evidence of massive and horrible human behavior. We have forced entire population from their homes. We have hurt children for some form of twisted pleasure. We have killed 108 million of us in the twentieth century alone. According to an New York Times article, in the past 3400 years only 268, or eight percent, of them have been entirely at peace. We have unearthed mass-graves in Germany near Herxheim that dates back to about 5000 BC. There are more, and older. Humans have a horrible history as we now understand it, again, not a very complete understanding as I see it. Living today is more hell than joy for far too many people. We are killing everything that lives and destroying everything around us. We are now in what scientists call the “Holocene extinction event.” For nearly every human on earth killing animals and eating them is done with almost total detachment. The plants are disregarded so thoroughly and given so little consideration we are facing a change in the atmosphere that could destroy the entire human species as it destroys all other forms of life. I can continue in this until I make myself sick. It is necessary to recognize reality, for we are balanced on a razor thin ridge. We will go one way or the other.

On one side is an end. On the other a beginning. After some million years of human development, we have finally reached a time when we can begin. I do not want to be explicit about the beginning. Most people would not be able to understand it if I tried. I can barely conceive it. The ability to communicate it is still beyond me. But communication is a two-way activity. If I could communicate the beginning with superb articulation, who would be able to understand it. I can say things using vocabulary that is precise without one person knowing what I am saying. How, then, am I to communicate something that is till unclear to me? It is imperative that we all understand a lot of things that are very lacking.

I look to God. As I wrote at the beginning of this Christmas Day article, I hope he will guide all to a total and perfect consciousness. I mean to communicate a quickness. It seems to me that the entire universe has been working toward that very denouement for at least billions of years. That is fine, but I want it yesterday. I would love to have some company in the bliss that I enjoy.

Not to toot my own horn, I have no company. I don’t know of anyone who shares my outlook. I have lived for fifty years in ways that no one else does. I have found various people who embody some part that is as I. I do not know loneliness, but I enjoy company. I fear, though. I am invested in life. I seek the answer in life, not in death. Here again, I can continue down this line far. Suffice it to say, I fear the killing of life even though I think there is no way to end it. Death is but a change of the old for the new. Still, I fear it because I want to attain in this life. I want everyone to. If not in this life, it will come in another. I have no fear that it will not. Love can make fear an ally. Allies work together. Love is still the answer.

Political maneuvering is a terrible way to conduct the power of this nation, or any other. Strategy! I read that Nancy Pelosi is a shrewd political strategist. That explains a lot. Just look at her elections and her electorate. Realize, too, that she gets elected by people who are not required to prove they are citizens of the US.

With the open borders and sanctuary cities, politicians are strategizing ways to win elections by getting votes from people who have no right to vote. There are those who think it is perfectly fine for people who are not citizens to vote. Some even think that people who cross the border illegally should be able to vote in the US. In a nation where some states will not allow a convicted felon to vote, the unequal application of the rules and laws is criminal. It even happens in the thinking of some.

The USA has about 24 million people who are felony law breakers that have been caught. Every single one has been subjected the punishment of laws of the land. Removing their right to exercise a power to change the laws is a flagrant denial of the principles of this nation. Throughout history laws have changed. Intelligence and discovery have rendered laws barbaric and stupid many times. Heresy and witchcraft, for example. The trends of human opinion have made alcoholic drinks illegal and now make consumption of countless substances illegal. That voting could permit this is vivid proof that political strategizing has defeated the very concept of free people governing themselves. In the land of the free people are punished by the law for consumption of many things. The personal aspect of consumption has been negated on the grounds of the greater welfare of the state. Rights be damned. This in a land now at the brink of forcing the population to take a vaccination that alters DNA. And virtually on one even notices the profundity of it.

People are too easily fanned into mobs. Trends determine opinions far more than facts. Reason is a volatile variable that rises and falls. The “good sense” of today may be the folly of tomorrow. This fact is obvious and noticed by the political wranglers. Fools in incalculable numbers can be manipulated by them. Now that the news has been converted to propaganda the fools have become victims more than idiots. With modern media all hope of reason has been stomped into the mud and replaced by Manchurian auto-response.

I am clinging to the last thread of confidence in people. It is a thread rapidly unraveling. I don’t blame people, though. I see what has happened to them. They are innocent. Manipulators are to blame. There are many aspects to the manipulation and the manipulators. Some are just plain evil. Others are dupes. Most are idiots. Every person standing around the fire as the witch burned was duped or stupid. Life dupes people, but some, realizing how life dupes people, have developed the ability to dupe them for purposes. That is what politics is in America.

Honesty in politics never existed. Honesty! The term itself is dishonest. Human psychology disqualifies us from attempting the definition. At best, we can attempt to hold powerful people accountable for damages, but we cannot expect them to be honest. They thought they  were being honest and righteous when they burned a witch or heretic. How can we do better? It sure will not be by voting for politicians. It will not be by voting for policy or actions. It is clearly not going to come from judges.

When judges make decisions that fit perfectly with the political party that make judges of them, it is made too obvious that truth and honesty are not possible. I doubt that judges even think they are being objective and wise. They want what they want and have stopped pretending to be impartial. This nation, the world, is in big trouble. “Ruling from the bench,” is just what it implies. Who rules us?

There is a root from which it all grows. The root has many forks and branches. The people are like the tiny hair-like roots out on the ends of the forks and branches. They do all the work for the plant and are changed out annually. The analogy is born out in the long list of human wars and violence. Human consciousness is the root. It is the source of it all.

Billions of human consciousnesses create the world of mankind. Man did not create the planet or the rest of the universe. But on Earth, they have made some substantial changes. The 2020 election is the result of thousands of years of human psychology survival. The human race has been around a long time. They have been busy. The factors involved in life still elude mankind, but opinions about it are as numerous as the people. Here we are after all those thousands of years trying to appoint a human to unconscionable power.

From a history only the devil can boast about, we are trying to select a flawed human to exercise power that could easily destroy all life on this planet. We are doing it as if we are all-knowing and wise. Millions of people in the USA and billions around the world are lined up and pulling on a giant rope. But it is a rope tied to our doom. Like lunatics we are pushing a plunger that detonates a bomb. There is no candidate that is worthy of the power being fought for. The issues are not even being considered. All thought is being diverted into a pit from which there is no escape. Political machinations. Political activities. That is all we are about right now. Who gets the power of the presidency? It matters, but not nearly as much as countless other things.

We must conduct the selection of the president because the momentum of combined human consciousness has forced it upon us. If nothing else comes of this election, realization of the power to manipulate the human consciousness could save us. The way Trump has been demonized is proof. The media has the power to whip millions, maybe even billions, into a rabid mob. They can muster the people to lynch an innocent person. They can make them feel as justified as the people watching the witch or heretic burn. How far have we come? We have come far! In the wrong direction! The power is too great to exist, but the fight is upon us. The division of the American people has set the troop deployment.

It is not a fight for a president. It is a fight for freedom from the manipulation of our minds. It is a fight for the light. It is a fight for peace. Nations oppose nations. Weapons that could destroy all life are waiting for someone to drop the feather onto the camel’s back. When it breaks, it will make an atomic sound that no one will hear. As Americans stand divided over a presidential election, war looms.

We are facing too much potential for war, even civil war. When Trump said he would drain the swamp, he probably didn’t know what he was saying. It probably seemed simple to him. Indeed, it should be simple, but it is not. I think his greatest accomplishment is his awakening of the people. He made us see that the media is manipulating everything. He brought corruption into the forefront of thought. He made it clear that our elections are rigged. He, in essence, stood a torch between good and evil. The light is shed on both. It reveals imperfections in both. It set the world into motion. From recumbent confidence in our nation, people have gotten up. On both sides of the divide, the people have been shaken from their repose. It is clear that we have been too relaxed. Now, after so long, the fight for life and light is brewing. The entrenched swamp critters are scrambling. They are making scraping noises that have caught the attention of the people. The people became too used to the dark. Their eyes just dilated, and they didn’t even realize it was getting dark. The sides of the election are both important in the awakening. For contrast increases perception. If we are luck, this election will cause enough people to stand up and pay attention.

We have not paid attention. Our nation has been infiltrated by our enemies. They have been among us so long and in such numbers that our nation is almost lost already. This is not about Trump or Biden. It is about realizing what has happened while we relaxed. It is not too late. I is close, though.

Corruption has always been. It has had enough time. Now it must stop. There are ways to make the world a wonderful and magical place where everyone is safe, comfortable, happy, and fulfilled. That is the real issue. It is not the election, but the election is the focus that may bring the real issues to mind at last.

As more and more business are permanently closed due to government orders, catastrophe beyond pandemic fatalities becomes more likely and more obviously worse than fatalities by disease. The fragility of civilization should be obvious to average intelligence and knowledge. I fear this fact is lost on the people. Seven billion people convulsing in panic is a horror to contemplate, but it is becoming a horror to contend with. Since average intelligence and knowledge can realize that government is shutting the economy down around the globe, it should be evident to the least intelligent and uninformed that it is being done intentionally.

Can the economy be shut down by orders from governments unintentionally? Are the consequences too difficult to comprehend? As is always the case, you may think what you will. But I remind you that even God cannot save you from your own will. You can think there is no possibility that some would like to see the global civilization collapse. Sure you can. You can be an idiot. You can ignore fire and burn to a crisp. You can tie others to posts and build fires beneath their feet when there are enough who want to join you. To think for a moment that the economy can suffer the damage already sustained by the orders of the government without catastrophe is also something you can do of your own will. How many times have those who intend to do harm to others been successful because they were able to surprise their victims?

There is a massive effort underway to dispose the people to fail to notice a surprise attack coming. Fools and idiots are not alone in the failure to notice. Few are exempted. Even when population reduction is publicly advanced as a necessity and a desire by those who have wealth and power beyond average human comprehension, the people remain oblivious. They have been assaulted stealthily long enough to ensure the surprise.

Modern technology has been put to the purposes of those who have power. They find themselves living in great luxury and leisure threatened by population growth. Feelings of superiority and entitlement have given them deep disdain and hate for the people. In a world only a couple of centuries into the abolition of slavery, the characteristic that allows a human being to own slaves, has not had enough time to disappear. It is not just alive and well. It is thriving. Modern technology has been purposed to the control of the people. The people in general do all the labor that provides the luxury and leisure of the self-proclaimed superior entitled. This translates to enslavement. The investment in modern communications technology, be it television, radio, telephone, computers, internet, social media, or even the media in general, was voluntary. Even is some college student or garage computer builder brought it to the world, the investment came only from those who had it to invest. That is the way of things in this world.

Only the most conditioned and enculturated are incognizant of the fact that money is invested to bring new things into popular use and acceptance. It does not happen any other way. The sanctity of business has been manifest in modern man using the power of conditioning and enculturation. “It’s only business,” is a con. It is a hypnotic spell. Countless atrocity has been committed in the name of business and a builtin acceptance was preinstalled in the hearts and minds of the people who serve those who use business to perpetuate the luxury and leisure they enjoy. The poor masses have missed the building cataclysm. It is not too late.

People are far more than modern brainwashing techniques can dominate. The words you are reading right now is proof enough. My first and most urgent desire of everyone is that they realize the innocent pleasures they enjoy are fueling their worst enemies. It’s business that supplies them. it is business that can defeat them. Nearly everything we do in this world is a source of money for those who have orchestrated the world of business. We are like solar panels that create great power by buying things and activities. We must come to understand this and decide what we want to do about it.

It is clear to me that everyone in this world can live better than the richest people in the world. That is something that is not being permitted the masses of humanity to know. They must, instead, hold a fiction up to be reality that there is simply not enough nor can there be enough even to sustain at survival level the huge human population without destroying the natural world, much less provide them with the luxury and leisure those who hold the fiction up enjoy. It is not true. The universe is infinite.

Notice that the space programs are put on hold. Notice that technology that can control the people is receiving more funding. Even technology that can dispose of billions of human dead is fully developed already. The Georgia Guidestones announce and vow to eliminate about six and half billion people. The cry of alarm is ringing across the planet. Hopefully, this post will help more to hear it. The shutdown is going to bring billions to their end, and soon. We must stop it. Those who are perpetrating it are few. We are many.
