Man in America - The Cabals Collapse Will Begin This Summer (and CBDC Will Fail) - 03-26-2023

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to man in America. I'm your host, Seth Woolhouse. So I have such an incredible interview for you today, which it might honestly, just being completely honest with you, this might be the most interesting discussion I've ever had with a guest here on the show. And so joining me is Cliff High, who maybe you're familiar with him, maybe you're not. I know before and I've asked people if you had any recommendations on who to interview.

He's come up quite a lot. And he's someone that is brilliant in ways that are hard to fathom. And some of the technology he's invented over the past 20 years have helped him understand where our world is at today is just incredible. And he's also been someone that has this unique ability to almost peer into the future. And he's predicted things like 911.

Even early last year, he was talking and saying, we're going to have the banks collapsing in March of next year. So that's just one of the many things that he's seen coming. So we're going to be talking about where we're at in history. Central bank, digital currency, fiat currency, the collapse of the dollar, the rise of new currency, the future of civilization, the unveiling of all the truth and information that's been hidden from us. So it's going to be a pretty mind bending interview.

So I hope you can enter into it with a little bit of an open mind and just relax. This is one that you're going to want to just kind of sit down, relax, focus on and enjoy yourselves. And I can tell you that I left this interview full of hope. And you know me, I'm a pretty optimistic person, though I covered a lot of doom and gloom stuff. But fundamentally, I'm full of optimism and a lot of what we talk about, especially towards the end, it genuinely gives me hope and it makes me excited to live at this time where we live right now.

So folks, enjoy this. Also, make sure you're following me on social media at man in America, and every show is done as a podcast as well. So if you want to listen, just go to your favorite podcast app, search for man in America, and you'll find me there. All right, folks, let's jump into this interview with Cliff High. So Cliff, thank you so much for joining us today.

I've been following you for some time and it's quite a pleasure to have you on the show. Sure, yeah, thanks very much. It's good because I find that you're such a different thinker, and I really appreciate that because I think that sometimes we're all just kind of locked in the same way of looking at things. And then I listen to one of your episodes, it's like, oh, my gosh, I never thought about it like that. And it's interesting because one of my good friends who I consider one of my smart best friends that I have who's been following you since pre 911.

He's been following you for over 20 years. He was like, Seth, you got to get Cliff on. This guy like, one of the smartest guys in the world. So my friend says that it's like, okay, I think it's time to have Cliff on. We finally were able to connect.

So thank you for being here. Yeah, sure. No worries. Busy days for everybody. Yeah, it is.

So how about we start with just for a lot of my audience that may not know who you are, and even my kind understanding of kind of your background is probably kind of a little bit fractured, kind of piecing things together. But what I've seen, though, from you is that you have this ability through a lot of what you're talking about, to understand not just making sense of where we're at and where we've been, but really where we're going. And even a year ago, you were saying in March of 2023, we're going to see the banking stuff hit, and you've had this ability to almost look into the future. So can you just explain a little bit more of your background and where that comes from? Boy, I'm 70 years old, so that's a lot of background there.

Okay, so here's the thing I discovered early in my life, due to my own mental infirmities, that people don't really understand the reality in which we operate. And that because people are not automatons or anything like that, but they're not really self aware, and so they don't know that their language exists as a form of emotional expression. Okay? It's only secondary that we communicate facts to each other through language. Primarily, it is a method of dealing with ourselves as life, which is consciousness attached to matter, but also life is the totality of experience.

And so we are trying to absorb and digest and deal with our experience, and we put this out in our language. And so I discovered very early that people telegraph, okay? So I'm a martial artist. I got the shit kicked out of me when I was ten and a half years old, and I've been in the martial arts ever since. And so that means personal combat, sometimes five and six days a week.

As a result of that, you understand the telegraphing of moves, faints and warfare at a very deep level. And so I understood that people telegraphed and fainted, and they practiced warfare by language. That's when I really started getting into it. Then I discovered that the people that were practicing warfare by language didn't really understand language or what it's doing. And so in the 90s, it crystallized.

So I'd been programming for years and years and years, worked for Microsoft, worked for the telephony industry, had worked for companies where we did things like SS Seven, which is the signal switching seven network layer across the telephony that allows the internet to work, among other things. Right. So I was really deep into all the technical stuff, and I'd been thinking and thinking and thinking. Something was really annoying me. Then I had a job down in mexico city, and on an airplane flight down there, the airplane was struck twice by lightning.

In between those two lightning strikes, this idea that had been gnawing on me for probably two decades crystallized and I understood some nature of language in a way that other people had not. And I was thereafter able to build what's known as a large language model, just basically the ability to go through lots of language and extract stuff. But I wasn't interested in extracting the facts or the communication or any of that. I wanted to extract the emotion because I was convinced that that emotion was prescient, that humans have to get out our views of the future, and that we did not at that point understand time. We still don't understand time as a society, nor its impact on ourselves as emotional beings.

And so we have these feelings, we have these inputs that come to us from time and are also carried by time that are slightly ahead of the future. And so I worked out all this math, and the timing was sucky, because sometimes I would get it really precisely, but other times I'd be off by 18 years. But nonetheless, the actual manifestation, as was described by the language, did show up as was described by the language. Whatever my timing characteristics might have been, however variant they might have been to the actual occurrence of the thing. So I was somewhat intrigued, and I wrote this large language model that for years I produced reports that were basically telling you what was going to happen a few years out, 18 months out, three months out, five days out, right, depending on the nature of the language or what was bubbling up that I could catch.

Then around obama time, they started putting the censorship on the internet, and I struggled and struggled and struggled to keep it working against that, not understanding that they were actively doing that, because I was heads down in my stuff. I wasn't much paying attention to the social milieu around me, and so eventually it crapped out on me because the censorship was too much and we weren't being allowed to express ourselves and get that emotionality out which carried with it the temporal connections and the prescient view of what might come up. It sort of faded off in time, around 2019 or so. It would have been impossible to have done it, but I was getting some useful data still in 2018. However, a lot of the early projections have been exactly right for timing and so on.

Now, I don't have the full large language model that I've been operating on, I just have the emotional intensity metrics, the numbers that come in off the language, because it is still so censored. However, I get enough out of it to be able to pick out these clues, such as our banking crisis here a year in advance, or the big ugly about a year in advance, being able to see that emerge. I can get into the details of how it works and all of that, if anybody really cares. It's very tedious, it is very accurate, and it also confirms a different view of what humans are than what we operate on in our normal world, right. What the normies understand ourselves to be is not accurate at all.

Unfortunately for them, we're in that period of reality where we're going to have a revolutionary reset of our consciousness, okay? And this will occur. We're going to have this big spike of it that will flow through us. Now, it'll sort of peak out in May, early May, and then fade by June, and then it'll come back in 2024 with a vengeance and be with us for decades.

It's going to fade because we have to deal with the immediacy right, of everything that's going to be crashing and all of this sort of thing. The reason we're going to go through this reset of our consciousness has to do with basically the total crash of the systems that allow us to perceive reality in the narrowly defined paradigm that's been presented to us, right? So if someone came to you and said reality is XYZ, but XYZ required on banks to be functioning and then the banks didn't function, then you're going to question your reality at that point, at least to some level. If it comes in from everywhere and the whole system is crumbling, you're going to question every aspect of your reality, have to find some little center that is solid and work your way back out. And we're there now that makes sense.

So if I can put here how I understand it is that this large language model that you built, as I understand, is almost like a bot, that you're scouring the Internet for language, right? And it's even this for quite some time, which you can see why censorship would get in the way of that. And so I've had premonitions before, whether it's a dream or a feeling, even a gut feeling, that you wake up one day, something bad is going to happen and something bad does happen. Right. And I do believe that we have that ability to sense things or that we're given messages, et cetera.

And I really agree with your perspective of kind of words versus thoughts and emotions. I feel like so much happens almost in another spacetime with our thinking and all the matter that's forming our thoughts before it even hits the layer of words, right. If you can tap into that and this is kind of a broader discussion, but the idea of spacetime, it's like, well, those thoughts in another dimension could have been forming for 100 years, right. If that other dimension has a different spacetime than ours. Right?

And that's kind of getting into some okay, so there's a big problem, though. You're coming back to this old Einsteinian thing with the potential for spacetime to exist, which it does not, okay? In Einstein's model, E equals MC squared. He's basically saying that energy is equivalent to mass moved to the speed of light squared. It's actually the reverse of that.

Mass is energy condensed. Okay? And so the nuclear bomb was not as Einstein had described it. It was, as Maxwell in Maxwell's electromagnetic equations had described it, that basically the nuclear bomb was tearing apart the molecular bonds of an atom, but the molecules themselves were not in any way touched, right? So we were dealing with it in a different way.

So we have to flop ourselves in terms of how we understand things. So I'm perfectly in agreement with you. We get premonitions constantly. We can't help but get premonitions because our brains are emulsified oil antennae. So your brain is this little body of a gel that is filled with tens of thousands, maybe millions of little microcrystals.

And those microcrystals vibrate at all kinds of different speeds, and they will put and because they vibrate, they cause the electrical interaction that causes thought to occur to us, right, to actually manifest in their brain when they do the MRIs and that kind of thing. However, our skulls are not proof. They're not metallic or whatever. They themselves, our skulls also have a crystalline embedded element to them. So they are transmitting waves that come in from the outside to these antenna, and that's what they're supposed to do.

So if we think about it at one level, if you're out hunting and even if you're out fishing okay, so let's take the more extreme example. That would be fishing. You got a fishing pole, you got a line. You got a weight on the end of that line with a hook and some kind of a bait, and you put it into an environment that you can't see into, usually, right. The stream further down or out in the ocean or something.

You can't really see below the water. But nonetheless, you ask any fisherman, and they will describe to you the feeling of the bottom of that lake or that area that they're fishing in. They'll describe to you actually, activity that's going on around it as the fisherman no, he's over there. I got to get it over there a little bit. And there you go, right?

And every fisherman, every hunter has had that feeling. You connect with the life on a different level than we would expect out here. But it is proof you could do that here if you decided to open yourself up to it. So it is perfectly sensible that we will pick up stuff. Now, here's our problem.

If you wake up and you're in a military barracks, okay, then you cannot assume that any mood you wake up with is your own. It could be the combined zeitgeist of that barracks as everybody's waking up, because our skulls, to a certain extent, are permeable to these emotional waves that transmit through all of us. So it gets really tricky. For instance, we could be easily tricked. Somebody could probably make a machine to put these kind of thoughts into our head to create a mood before you wake up.

That would be doable. So in my opinion, we can't really accept on the face value these impressions that come to us. We need to analyze, analyze, analyze until we're sure. Maybe I had a terrible night last night and my hormones are all messed up because my digestion is bad, and I wake up thinking it's going to be a bad day. That is different from just ordinary waking up.

And it's like, okay, ominous feeling. What's going on? Right, exactly. Through kind of pulling in all this language and looking at it again, as you mentioned, you weren't looking at language, at its face value. People talking about it was understanding in a lot of ways the energy and the emotions behind that, that represented that.

So you were able to even because I remember this guy was talking to said, look, he actually kind of, oddly enough, made a lot of money during 911 because he knew it was coming, because he was following you. He said six months ahead of 911, you said this was going to happen, and he made some moves in the stock market to reflect that. Obviously, he trusted your insight, but that called out. So basically there is this big event, and am I correct to understand the bigger the event, it's like dropping a rock into a pond. A bigger boulder will send bigger ripples, and those ripples will kind of, in a lot of ways, go further back into time.

Right? Okay. All right. Time does not exist past or future. Okay?

So time only exists in the ever present now. So we have to be careful of our language. And I'm not being pedantic, I just want to be very clear about this, but conceptually, you are correct. It's not that it goes back further in time, but rather that you catch it earlier as you are approaching. You sense it.

That makes sense. Yeah. Okay. And so for my work, I use this guy. P-L-U-T-C-H-I-K-I think his name is Plutic.

Okay. He was a sociologist, and he developed this thing called the Wheel of Emotion. And he develops and he creates this wheel structure that has all of the emotions listed in it. Now, he was off, okay. He approached it from a sociological viewpoint.

I inserted a couple of more emotions, and then I put in another ring. And what I did, my genius in this, was to tie the middle of Plutick's Wheel of Emotion to prescient, sayings that humans have, okay, stupid things. Spill some salt. You got to deal with it, okay? Step on a crack, break your mother's back.

All these weird ass sayings from when you're kids, right? A lot of them are actually prescient, and we're struggling to get out this emotion that's coming to us from the future, and we just default to certain language. If you go through and you have the, oh, my palm is itching, I'm going to get some money, right? Or My other palm is itching, somebody's going to come and see me? All of these body tells, like, my ears are burning because someone's talking about it.

Exactly. And there's just phraseology throughout all languages, and it is the same in all the languages, absent the impact of grammar. So the Germans, the Swedes, the people in Uganda, they all say that something is happening in Uganda. It's the earlobes. And you'll see them pulling on their earlobes, and, okay, someone's talking about me, right?

And the Germans have this same thing about scratching the ears. If you're just scratching your ears, someone might say to you, hey, someone's talking about you because of that subconscious kind of a thing. So what I did was to take all those phrases, list them all out in a giant list, and start creating databases of these phrases in various different combinations of them. And then I went through Plucheck's wheel, and for each and all of the emotions, okay? So each and all of the eight primary emotions, you can put them together, and you get combinorics, okay?

Each and every one of the combinorics, anger and angst. So you have anger, but you also have fear, right? And so that goes all the way towards paranoia. So there are these long streams of emotions that come from the culmination of the other emotions, and so it became quite complex. But I have a computer, of course.

And then I had all of these words that described emotions down to an incredible detail. And then I started combining that large language model with the large language model of the phrases, and that was my set. And then I went looking for those phrases appearing in the language, and I was able to apply timing to them. Some of these things are instant, some take a while. So I came up with immediacy language, short term language, long term language.

Now, it was curious. At the time I started all this work, of course, we were digitizing everything. The Internet was new, right? And so the Internet in the early days of my work here was dominated by long term language, as people like myself were paid money to basically digitize everything and dump it on for governments and for libraries, books, all of this kind of stuff. So all through the early 2000s, we were in this digitizing boom that dominated with long term language.

At the time, I was aware that that was going on, but not on its impact on my work. Thus, a lot of the stuff I got in the early 90s in terms of language coming out of the internet, bear in mind there weren't as many people on it at that point. It was totally uncensored. So everything was just very prescient. There was all kinds of stuff going on, but because we were doing long term language, we got forecasts that were 18 plus years out, and we're living in that 18th year now.

Okay, this all makes sense, but it only makes sense from hindsight having seen it, because in the midst of the digitization of all the long term data, I thought it was just the nature of the Internet that we didn't have a lot of the Immediacy data, right, the slang. So we have different emotional impacts on and we express it differently based on the presence that's going to occur. So imagine a situation where we're going to describe a car being taken away from a guy, okay, and he's going to lose his car in an emotional interaction, and he can say it in basically in three ways. I mean, there's dozens of various gradients in between, but there's basically three ways. And you can say, she jacked my ride.

Okay?

So that would be Immediacy language. The midterm language would be like, she took my car in the divorce. And then the long term way of saying that would be like the court or some authority being mentioned, a judge or whatever gave her my car, meaning that the action of it was removed from her. Jacking it as opposed to the more medium action of it being sort of in between the emotions of the two of them as opposed to a third party. Makes sense.

It does, yes. Okay, so you can see phrases, you can look through people's conversations and get this feeling, are they talking about Immediacy? Are they talking about something midterm? And Immediacy was like three days out to three weeks. Okay.

And then the error range is always the same size. So we had a three week error range. So ultimately it could actually show up six weeks out because frequently there were these outliers that would do just that. Midterm was from the end of the third week out to about the 19th month. Okay?

But most of the action was in that first six months and then long term was 19 months out. Infinity, it was a rigor, it was a discipline. I had metrics to it all. And I just went through looking through all the language and it sort of worked out and it's interesting. So where we're at right now, and this is what I appreciate, and I've listened to you and I'll make sure to put your links to your bitchute and your substac in the description for the show so folks can follow you as well.

But I think that a lot of people, when COVID hit their entire world went upside down and it woke a lot of people up. They realized, wow, it's like what you said, x, Y and Z is what forms the stability of our reality. And so X and Y, which is to say the trust in the government, trust in the big medical institutions, trust in media, whatever, all at once, all of these things just got shattered. And for a lot of people, a lot of folks I talk to when I travel and speak and I ask people, I say, so what was your moment that really kind of shook you and woke you up? And most people say it was the beginning of the pandemic.

But if we look at where we're at right now and it seems like that they're still trying to figure, okay, how do we get back to normal again? How do we get back to how things were in 2010? And whereas from my perspective, it's like everything is changing. We will never live that way again. And I don't want to live that way again.

I don't want to live in the illusion where Hollywood and the corporations are all being run by the evil globalists and Satanists. And I don't want to enter back into that. I want to enter into a world where the people see through all that and they fall and we overcome it. And so as we're looking at what's happening with the banks and really where we're headed next, a lot of the mainstream perspectives like, oh, maybe it's going to be a recession or a few banks might fail and then the government's going to step in, right? Whereas I'm like, for me, it's like I've got sirens going off saying, okay, the dollar is going to collapse, governments are going to collapse.

And I don't want to be a fear monger. I want to be really realistic. And so for you, because you've seen this coming for quite some time, help us understand where we're at on that timeline. Where are we at in history? And what does the next say two to three years look like from your perspective?

Okay, so in our history, we're approaching a point that has never existed before, all right? So this is going to be different. So we could map our coming economic woe to any previous depression, any previous recession, and it would only be marginally adequate as a map because we've never gone through this before. So as a humanity, we've had many currency crashes. Actually, we've had repeated currency crashes here in the United States, right, as they took us off the gold standard, as they eventually withdrew silver and gold from money and all of this kind of stuff, right?

And we've had the crash of the sovereign British pound, the silver backed pound. The British had all of this kind of stuff. They've all crashed, but they've all done so within relative isolation. Yes, we've had ripples from the crashes here in the United states, but it has never been basically a pan global event. Now it's going to be about one third of the planet is going to go through this with us, right, which is the collapse of the firm, the Federal Reserve note, because what's going to happen is that will die and we will have a dollar revealed to us.

I think we're at peak government. I think we've passed peak government, and we're going down to the point where we will throw away a lot of what we've had as government. And this is going to be a very necessarily messy period of time for many years. So I would expect that we'll still be dealing with hardcore remnant antifa in a few years unless we go to this extreme level that impacts everybody. And we seem to be shading that way now.

So we could imagine a situation where things limped along with a limped along government like that we've got now and that they cheat again and get in again, right? Everybody knows they're selected, they're put there by the WEF and they still do their deal. But gradually it's just wearing down, grinding down the way that East Germany did, as opposed in its collapse, as opposed and even to a certain extent, the Soviet system was a situation. It was hollowed out from the inside by currency manipulation that came from the outside. But nonetheless, there was a generalized degradation of everything functioning that took over in the last 25 years of the 72 years of the Soviet experiment.

And so it was just degrading as ours is. So what's going to happen, in my opinion, is that we're at a point in time where we will go through several rough years as the fern disappears. And it won't disappear and just die and not be there. It'll be like Confederate money which traded for some months after there was officially no longer any kind of a Confederate government. So I suspect we'll still be dealing in dollars at some point.

I think a lot of the digital dollars will simply disappear and that will be very horrific for people. Folks, I've got a quick message for you. As you'll see this in this discussion that we're having, the times ahead could be rough. It's what he calls the big ugly. And look, I have to agree, there's a few ways that we really need to solidify and stabilize ourselves to make sure that when things get kind of tough, we've got what it needs to get through.

One of those things is protecting our finances. Look, as you see with cliffhigh and not just him, but a lot of other people, we're at the end of the age of the dollar. We're at the end of this fiat currency system. It's on life support. And if you have a lot of your assets sitting somewhere in the US dollar, you might want to reconsider what you're going to do with that money.

For one. As you will talk about later in the interview, moving those assets into tangible items food, ammunition, seeds, et cetera, are very, very important. But the other is actually parking that money into physical gold and silver. Because amidst the collapse of a currency, even the collapse of an empire, it's gold and silver which can really help people sustain and emerge on the other side of that and get through that and actually have not just your wealth preserved, but in a lot of ways have your wealth multiplied. It's like someone I was listening to recently talking about how in Venezuela, during the collapse of that country, you could have a wheelbarrow of cash and not be able to buy a loaf of bread, yet a single ounce of silver will actually pay for a family's food and supplies for the whole month.

That's what happened when this inversion happens. So to check this out, folks, if you're looking for something, you need someone that you can trust to buy your gold and silver or even do an IRA or 401K transfer with no penalties or fees, I would highly recommend Dr. Kirk. Elliot Kirk is a good friend of mine. He's a strong Christian.

He's a patriot. He cares about this country, and he and his team really understand the precious metals market. So to learn more about this and get a free consultation from someone on his team, go to goldwithseth.com or you can call 720-3053 900. Again, that's goldwithseth.com. Or call 720-6053 900.

I think a lot of the digital dollars will simply disappear, and that will be very horrific for people. Meaning like, what's in your bank account, et cetera, right? When you log on somewhere and it says, oh, you've got $400,000 in your IRA, that that's the stuff that just kind of evaporates overnight, right? Is that what you're you're saying? Well, there's there's a couple of levels of evaporation of it, all right?

So they may well still have those digits. But what if we get into the period where it actually is hyperinflation? So right now we've got inflation that is taking away from you between eight and 40% of your purchasing power annually, depending on where you're measuring it from, right? And if you measure it against energy, it's much closer to the 40%. Gas prices going up, electricity, all of these kind of things.

And we're approaching a point of scarcity that's really going to impact us. So we could see that the money could still be there in a digital fashion. But if we get into the hyper part where people know this is happening, and so they get their paycheck and say they're a schoolteacher and they get their paycheck, and they try and spend it in that first half of that day to get whatever purchasing power may be in that paycheck, right? So the behavior of the humans on Moss changes that's hyperinflation. If we go that route, then we can see that they might still have the digits in the bank account saying that they've got the 400,000, but that that 400,000 might be like in Weimy or Germany where you could maybe get a latte but they wouldn't put a sprinkle on top.

Right? So either way, whether the digits disappear or it has no purchasing power, we're headed to the point where it has no purchasing power and this is what we have to deal with, I suspect. Okay? So I know factually, certainly, that there are people that have been planning for this and they have various different approaches to this. Okay?

In fact, my data started picking something up in the year well, right there with the 911 very first run we ever did or when I did this and I started collecting the data in 1994, it took me three years to build up the mass and write all the code and start getting into it. So by 97, I had a data mass that I went through that ultimately yielded because I had to form the basis against which I could examine new language. And so that was like my large language model. And then the incoming stuff was the dailies that I would do sweeping on and that's what led to the 911 forecast which I put out on like June 11 of that year, something like that, right? And I said it would happen within the next 85 days and it did.

My numbers were flipped in my algorithm, so I thought it would happen closer to June as opposed to closer to September, right? And so I shipped it. But if I just went back after it happened, I went back and corrected it, boom, it lined up just perfect. So anyway, though our future uncertain and horrific as potential that we can see now is not without individuals that have also seen this that have taken corrective steps, right? And I term this the self organizing collective.

And maybe I'm bad shit crazy, maybe I'm just seeing stuff that isn't there. But I am seeing patterns that suggest that there are people that are doing things as they may. And I actually think that those things that they are doing are coordinated, planned, not just organic, although there is some of that, right, but there are planned elements that are going forward. So for instance, a very key one is that we were on a track where they were going to withdraw through the 50s, which they did all the silver out of circulation and all the gold out of circulation to get us to a central bank, digital currency. And the target was a lot earlier than we're facing now, right?

And somebody came along and threw a big monkey wrench in their plans because the plans were that the Federal Reserve was going to take the gold in Fort Knox and use it and basically spend it out. Okay? But in 1963, in November, the evil ones here shot Kennedy had kennedy assassinated the deep state. And by early 1964, an act was put in that that in that act allowed americans to have gold certificates, private gold certificate ownership. From that point on, all the gold was encumbered.

And so they couldn't do that because it was acting as insurance on all these certificates, which they've ballooned up over time and done all this other stuff too. But nonetheless, it's my thinking that that one act in 1964 which in the gold certificate part of it, that tied it to Fort Knox, is way down in the implementation details. I think that was done deliberately to keep the gold here because somebody knew what they were attempting to do. And you see these things happen all the time. Boy, that worked out for them.

But hey, not really because of right? And so everything they do is unraveling around them because I think people know they're going to be doing it, they're watching it, and they're there to make sure that it unravels. So in that sense, I'm seeing a pattern that says that it's going to be horrific, it's going to be terrible for us, but it is not without some level of mitigation being done, at least a large aspect of our society. So the self organizing collective has some power and is able to motivate people and get things done such that it's not quite as bad as it would have been. My chief example of that is operation warp speed.

So I actually saw it and I should have saved it. Well, I wouldn't have done any good. That computer died. But I saw a video that was sent to me of Falky's chief of staff at a world economic forum meeting in 2016, bragging about having put the spiked protein onto a coronavirus shell. He bragged about it.

We did it. We did it. It took us five years. We did it. We did it.

At the time I saw that video was meaningless to me, right? Because this was like maybe it was early 2019, it's like, okay, I don't care. And then now, of course, it's very meaningful indeed.

So people are aware of the things that are being done and there is a countering going on. And we're in the process of going through this giant unrestricted warfare at a level that will only be able to be comprehended after it's done. Reading all of the history books where everybody compiles it, it is so complex and so vast and to a certain extent we're fighting a war that goes back to 1280 Ad. 1280 Ad was when the Russians attacked the Khazarians to try and eliminate the problem that the Khazarians had created for the Russians. And people just don't give credence to the idea that this war has been going on that long.

And we're hopefully in the last few years of it, it's going to be funny, guy. It's going to be really strange. Our projections are for a rough three years, and then actually, I think it'll pick up for us emotionally in 2024. I think we'll have some positive physical manifestations to keep us positive that there will be stuff that will be done, but it's not going to be ubiquitous. Right.

So it's going to be a long, hard progress here because our society has been invaded. About at least 18 or 20% of the social order has been really screwed up in their minds by the way in which this invasion occurred. This weaponized munchausen by proxy. And we have to deal with that. We have to as a social order, we've got to deal with these individuals.

We've got to provide them what comfort and care and correction we may do. So and so going back to what you just said about the Fern, you know, Federal Reserve, note that we're at the end of that system and kind of looking ahead, that right now is just kind of the beginnings of what's happened with the banks. And I actually just saw this morning that the Deutsche Bank, right, which I know that you were talking about months ago, saying, watch the German banks. Right now they're saying the Deutsche Bank, which is German's number one largest bank, which I think has close to a trillion, maybe $700 billion in depository, whatever money it's managing, which would be absolutely significant. So you think that over the next couple of months, we're going to see this contagion really hit basically, the collapse of the kind of debt based fiat currency known as the US.

Dollar, which has become the world reserve currency, which has infected every part of the world that will fall, and it's going to pull down all kinds of structures with it. That's correct. We're at a point where the Federal Reserve is actually battling against the European banks to try and save itself. As it does so, the European banks are taking a huge hit. Deutsche bank, particularly in derivatives, okay?

Deutsche bank was the main conduit for derivatives throughout Europe. And so when the derivative monster dies, deutsche bank will die with it. So if they've got let's just say that they had 10 trillion in deposits, it's probably only a small fraction of the derivatives that they're on the book for. And so they sold derivatives up into Norway. They sold them into Finland.

They sold them into Russia. So derivatives are weird. 2nd, 3rd, fourth, and fifth hand bets on circumstances. And they sold these to unwitting, unsophisticated people that were like city councils in a small village. Oh, put all your retirement into this derivative.

We'll give you this amount of return over this amount of years. Right? And, oh, that looks great to us. And it's backed by but of course, it's not backed by anything. And so the derivative layer is far larger than if we were to look at it.

We've got derivatives on top of everything. Then we've got bonds underneath that. Then we've got inter, bank interconnections in terms of their loaning to each other for liquidity. And then all the way down at the bottom of the banking system is cash in terms of volume. And so there's very little cash in circulation.

And this is actually coming back to bite the Federal Reserve in the butt. And they're in a position where they really need to kick cash up because they're doing overnight repos to try and stabilize the banking system where they buy your debt and give you supposed digits. But the problem is those digits at the banking level are now trying to go out into cash as fast as they can as people start tumbling to what's going on, right? And so I'm a regular human, so I'm paranoid about my local bank now that Yellen says it won't survive. So I'm trying to drain down all of my assets out of that bank.

It's not good for the bank. And I know this. I know it's going to cooperate with everybody else and kill that bank. But as an individual, I've got to save my life's work that's been stored in digits, right? So I'm trapped like everybody else.

The Fern. Okay, so I'm of the opinion that the Fern is going to die and it'll be replaced by a treasury dollar. How long that takes to happen, I don't know. But the staggering thing here was that back in 2000, I got these data sets that were just quite insistent that we would see $600 an ounce silver. And it's like, oh, that's staggering, right?

Everybody says, oh, you're crazy, and I've been getting this you're crazy stuff for 20 plus years. But now we're at a point where as soon as the Silver Manipulation breaks, as soon as they're no longer able to control that and it goes seeking a price, it will go through $600 just screaming as it goes. Towards 10 00, 20 00 30 00 and it may well hit parity with gold, which was something else that my data sets had suggested. Now, this was back in the year 2000. We had some initial solar industry and stuff going, but we didn't have electric vehicles.

We didn't have any of the chip production the way we do now. And all of this stuff requires silver in vast quantities. And so there was no way that I knew then in the year 2000 we would be heading towards a functional silver shortage. So we're getting to that point where there's now actually enough silver demand that it's starting to impact on the ability to use silver as an industrial metal both in price and availability. All of this stuff with the Fern is going to change our world.

It's not just going to be in the nature of, oh, you can't go and buy a coffee for under $40, okay? It's not just that. It's that the death of the Fern means China isn't going to want to send ships full of stuff to us, right? No more cheap shit from China. It means that your energy costs are going to go through the roof.

It means that we're going to have to do everything here, which means there's going to be a couple of generations that are going to have to do hard work and they don't know how to do it. We have to build factories. We've got to start digging mines, we've got to invent new oil drilling techniques and so on. The good news is we've got all the resources here to do that we can recover and go on to be extremely successful in a relatively short period of time once we get the invading Waconians off our back, right? Once we get this weaponized munchausen by proxy out of our heads and start looking at reality as it is, we should be able to move fairly quickly because we have a lot of resources and we got a lot of smarts.

There's a couple of things we don't have. And so we're going to have to retool. So we're going to have to redo all of our manufacturing tools and equipment right there's. This also affects the war. Okay?

So we're in fifth generation unrestricted warfare. The unrestricted warfare began in the late 70s when the CCP decided they were going to destroy the American social order and they started invading us, all right? They invaded us through our schools first and then our other institutions. And then eventually they got hooked up with the WEF and they started buying politicians and putting them into place and so on, right? And so we've been infiltrated since at least the late 1970s.

I can find in Chinese Communist Party literature from 1970, 819, 79 discussions about how they will implement the invasion of the United States. And that was at that point that we start hearing the term unrestricted warfare, such as flooding us with fentanyl. So last year, in the last year, they've killed more Americans than died in the entire 18 years of Vietnam, and they did it with fentanyl. This is horrific. This is an assault.

They've poisoned our water, they're buying our farmland, and they've subsumed our system. They're gaming our system against us. So in my state here, we've got a bunch of the Communists that have taken over. We've been conquered by the Democrats for 40 plus years. The Democrats themselves in this state have been subsumed by socialists and communists for 40 plus years.

And we have them doing the faint activities. So they passed a weapons ban for assault rifles here, which has nothing to do with anything they ever say about it. It only has to do with protecting us from the politicians and the invading Chinese, right? That's why we have the Second Amendment, so we can shoot the bastards when they invade or when they get uppity and try and infiltrate and take us over. But what they do is they pass the law knowing it'll take a certain amount of time to undo.

And in the meantime, they try and game the system and do everything they can while that law is in a limbo state. So it's interesting now with Chat GPT, you can go and ask it. If you phrase it right, you can ask it, how long does it take on average to defeat an item repugnant to the Constitution that is attacking the Second Amendment? And Chat GPT will run this little thing and say, well, in the last 20 years, it averages out to 1.86 years before it's overthrown in a court somewhere. So you can find these things out, which you take these facts and you feed it back to these people, and it knocks the morale right out of them, right?

If they're thinking they're going to get five, maybe ten years of law activity out of this so we can fight against them, and we're doing so here in Washington State, but we're going to have to get rid of all of them and get ourselves right with reality before we can proceed.

All right? So I like to fight. So I'm really an American that way, right? Americans like to fight. I like to fight.

This is a good fight. This is probably the best ever fight. I wanted to have a fight when this life came along, and so I'm very pleased that we're into it now, because I shall not lose, right? I'm not going to lose this fight. And so with that attitude, it's going to be an amazing planet after we're done, because we're going to throw away all of that stuff going back even before Einstein.

We're going to get rid of the E equals MC squared crap, get a good view on reality, and I'm going to get flying RVs here, right, and be able I mean, it's stupid, right? I just want an RV to be able to go and do fishing. And I got friends in Germany and Switzerland, but I don't want to fly in an airplane. I hate those damn things. I'm just not a big fan of rockets.

Yeah, it's interesting. That's a whole different topic going into hidden technology, forbidden technology, and even some really basic things that you look back, and I think they call it the Trump system. The Trump where they were able to use these underground chambers with water and air to create energy.

It's amazing stuff, but you mentioned unrestricted warfare. And right now, actually, just this morning, I was watching a news segment where they're seeing an unprecedented number of Chinese nationals coming across our southern border, and they're basically illegally coming in. But if you watch the videos of them, you will not see a single woman, child or elderly person. They're all middle aged men, right. And so if we go back, they're all trained.

Exactly. These are soldiers. You can look at it's. Fifth Column, right? Yeah.

They're actually coming over from the northern border, too. Yeah. Up in Canada. Nobody's aware of that. We've got them coming in from Canada, and in fact, when they come in from Canada, they come in in buses.

Okay. So they shut it down in COVID. But there were rumors of Chinese troops training in British Columbia up here, the province north of Washington State. Right. For maybe two years before COVID And we had lots of videos of these guys, military people, camouflage training, live ammo, the whole deal, all Chinese.

And they made various different the Canadian government put out a bunch of disinfo to try and get rid of it. But I've got friends of mine that are up in Blaine and up in some of these border areas where I don't know why it works out this way, where they're coming from, but these buses will refuel once they come over the border. And I'm quite certain he's factual because of where he's at and what he does and stuff, but he has seen a number of these buses absolutely packed with all Chinese, including Chinese drivers. And one guy that was a Chinese driver that didn't know what he was doing on the fueling. So he hadn't been in country very long.

So it makes one wonder, right. Makes one buy more ammo. Yeah. I just ordered a few thousand rounds this past week. I was stacking it up this morning.

So one thing that I want to also talk to you about is Central Bank digital currency, because I've studied China for quite some time in the CCP specifically. I know their social credit system very well in the surveillance state. And I believe that's the greatest threat if they get that into place. And I think there's a lot of reasons why. I think I don't think they will.

But I wanted to talk to you. If I take a step back and I look at where we're at in the life cycle of the Federal Reserve, note the collapse of that currency. The west, the Communists, I think they have access to a lot more than we do. They know the cycles. They know what's coming.

And the great reset, I don't believe the great reset is something that they planned. It's more so that they're trying to capture the momentum of a collapsing system with their plans and then seize control amidst that. That's how I kind of look at it. They know things are collapsing. I would agree.

So their great reset is just, okay, how can we take control of it? It's not like they're causing all of it. They're just trying to take control of the building that's collapsing and then put it into something that they have control. Rollover and so with the collapse of the US dollar, which will cascade into a lot of other currencies, especially the European currencies, I believe their plan is to then come in and say, oh, look, it's a failed Fiat system. We knew it had a life cycle.

So we're going to replace it with this central bank digital currency, and along with that comes the credit score and the vaccine, digital passport, absolute control. Because the BIS says absolute control. It gives us fourth expression of money. Yes, is what they call it. Do you think that that's going to succeed?

I'll let you go now. Okay, so you're correct about all of this, except I would disagree that they don't have any control over it collapsing. So they thought it was going to collapse at 2030. For their own reasons, they're trying to do it now. They're accelerating it now.

So they were sort of like a catcher. They're ready to catch the ball, but now they sort of ran forward to try and catch it further and to do something more. Okay. No, I don't believe it'll succeed. And one of the interesting things was in the first, probably three years or four years of running, my data in the year, starting in the year 2000 kept coming up with all kinds of money stuff.

So in 2000, I knew that there was going to be a new kind of money that was going to be invented and it would show up sometime after 2005. And this was the cryptos, okay, that appeared in 2008, and it kept warning us during that period of time. I kept getting data sets that said, well, the dollar is going to crash and the powers that be are going to offer us three replacements, and they're going to offer a replacement and we're going to reject it. And then they're going to quickly come up with another replacement that's sort of like the first one, and we're going to reject that one, and then they're going to offer us a third one in the midst of the final battles of a great war, and everybody's just going to get out of here. We're not even going to look at it.

Right.

In the year 2000, it was talking about the digital currency coming out, and it made no sense to read that language because we didn't have any of the concepts that would have allowed us to. I mean, we didn't have well, we had ATMs and stuff, but we didn't have the ubiquitous nature of cards and everything the way we do. So your program in 2000 was predicting the emergence of digital currency in the coming decade or two, before even the whole concept of digital currency was even there. Correct. Okay, so here's the thing.

In order for my system to work, I had to go through dictionary, and I had to define to words, and I did it as automated as I could. I had to provide to words an association of where they were in the timing of everything immediacy, long term, et cetera. Right. But I also had to tie them into all these emotions, so I had to go through all of this stuff. So it was very tedious and so I started working on it in 94, and I was still working on it in 2008.

It took that long to go through dictionary, and then I was able to transfer it to other languages relatively easily. Right. There was some stuff you'd have to go through because the emotional components of some words in German are not the same as that same word in English. Right. Anyway, though.

So in doing so, in going through all of the language there in the 2000 and 911 forecast, I hadn't gotten up to the point where I was in the t's because I started at A and started working my way up towards Z, right. So I didn't have terrorism listed there. And so the data sets came back to me. My large language model, very much like chat GPT, gets things. It tries to make this linkage and it just presents it to you.

And it presented to me that there was going to be an event that was going to come up, and like I said, it showed it within the next 85 days. And this event would involve a military accident, 911, the airplanes, right? The supposed airplane that hit the pentagon, a military accident because it was an attack, but we didn't have terrorism defined. I hadn't got anywhere near the t's. I'd just gotten into the M's, and that was the best the language could do.

That was the same kind of thing I ran into with the descriptions for all of the current set of digital crud we're going through now. None of the concepts existed at the time that the large language model was trying to provide me with the links that I could interpret to describe those contexts. So I knew we were going to have three new money systems. I knew they were going to be digital. I had all kinds of details about what this might involve, but none of it made any sense at all.

And at that point in the processing, I was cautious. And so I threw away a lot of stuff as being, oh, I've got an algorithm off somewhere, it's bringing in this stuff it shouldn't, or whatever, right? So that it was not necessarily seen as pertinent. So even in the year 2000, I probably could have come up if I'd really examined it with the central bank digital currency as a label. But I just put it down as three new systems.

And their big push on the first new system was going to take us a few months to get rid of. And then the second system would go in maybe a month and a half, and then the last system they offer would be gone the same day that they proffered. It just total rejection, right? And so that's sort of our future relative to that. But in the midst of all of this, of course we're going to get our $600 an ounce silver and all of the other.

Screaming precious metals prices. And at that point, too, in the data sets, even before we had satoshi's white paper. So 2005, maybe I'd have to go and look at some of my notes somewhere in there. 2005 to 2007, before the financial crisis, there was a suggestion that there was going to be a people's money, that we were going to have a new money. And I thought it was probably something off of gold.

Just, of course, because I'm trying to match it against my own experience. And we didn't have the white paper, and we didn't have the concept of and I knew all about double spend. You just couldn't do anything with digital money because you could always spend it more than once. And satoshi's paper solved that anyway.

But the data sets were telling us that we were going to have a new form of people's money. Now, I tracked that people's money long enough through the acquisition of data for all those years to be able to tie it to cryptos. And so I got into bitcoin very early, all right? It was difficult to get bitcoin when it was $0.10 each because there was no markets, there were no extensions or no exchanges or any of this. It had to be on a personal level.

But that's when I got in, right? I knew about bitcoin before it even hit one penny. And I was watching it because I thought, maybe this is our people's money. There was something in those data sets, though, that appeared, let's see, that would have been maybe it was 2009 or 2010. And so we're just getting into bitcoin.

It was barely a concept had just started to be implemented, and I was getting data sets saying that this people's money would be used for it would be so valuable that it would be used for international settlements to save the cost of moving vast quantities of gold back and forth. And that at some point, the individual units, we didn't even know what to call them at that point, right, of the people's money would be worth more than a million dollars each, much more, because it would be used for international settlements. It would be so valuable that countries where the governments didn't get into it, they would go to the citizens and try and make deals to buy these whatevers. Again, I didn't know it was bitcoin at that point from the citizens in order to be able to do international trade effectively. And so it's like, wow, I got to get me one of those.

I want some of these things. And then along came bitcoin, and it met all the criteria. And so I started getting into bitcoin at that stage. So it's been an interesting ride. I mean, for me personally, I've had validation after validation after validation that the data sets are indeed accurate.

And it's a terrible validation as well, because if you think about the nature of my technology here, you could apply that. And I did once I applied it to an individual. Okay. So I was in some financial straits because of the costs. I had not anticipated the electrical costs and everything.

On my first big run, I was down in the hole, a few thousands of dollars on this, hadn't made any money off of this thing and this sort of thing. And this guy came to my rescue and I agreed to do a private run for him on a person. I'd never done one on a person. I'd done it for companies at that stage, just doing a big data model to get their rep online, that sort of thing, for their PR departments or for their research departments. And that's really where I thought I was hitting with this, was just as a large language model, very much like Chat GPT, only focused on me doing the work.

Right. Anyway, though. So this guy bails me out, I agree to do the run and I'm into the run just a few days and I get some really terrible news. And so I tell him that you got some terrible news here, something's coming up. And then a week later, his wife was killed in a bomb attack that was meant for him in India.

Okay? So I knew it was coming. I was still working on it. And of course at that point I abandoned it and I've never done one since. Because had I been able to do that, could I have saved her?

Probably not. That's not really the way that things work, right? I don't think I'm hoping anyway. But it is that powerful that you could do that. And so that part of the program.

And everything I destroyed after that totally destroyed all the code that would allow you to modify this for an individual. There were a few non obvious things that had to be done and I'm hoping that they'll always remain a secret. But it is that powerful as well. But it's not going to do it for the guy down the block that works at Safeway. The only reason that this works is that you have this high enough presence that people are talking about you and these words get combined around you.

So you can do it very easily with Bill Gates, but hey, all of us know what his future is, so no need to go to the trouble. But somebody like yourself, you could do it at that level if you have that that presence. But I don't think anybody really wants to know. No, I certainly don't.

And there's been all kinds of different Sci-Fi writers and TV shows and movies that explored the concept of this. And it almost always ends bad knowing the future. But one thing that you see that we're entering into this what you call the big ugly, right? And I also agree, but I look at it almost in a way, and this is where I think that I differ. And I think that your perspective differs also from people like I've interviewed Martin Armstrong as an example, or Charles Ninder, people that are the big economic cycles, guys, and they're saying that we're at the end of the empire and it's really bad and it's bleak.

Right. Whereas what I've gotten from you and also my perspective is that well, no, right now it's like our society is a body that has cancer, like, really deeply into it, and we're going through the process of removing that. And that's why it's the big ugly, that's why it sucks. And there's a lot of difficulty. But then on the other side, once we detox from that which is in the body, that there's some sort of future for us that is a world that's not within the bounds of this Plato's cave.

Realistically, we're escaping Plato's cave that we've been in for generations and generations, generations we haven't known. True science, true history, anything. It's all been kept from us. But the gatekeepers of all those secrets are now the ones that are on the edge of losing control. So what are you what are your thoughts about that?

So so I agree with you with your impression of Netter and Armstrong. They do indeed project that. And so I've and I agree with you that their perception is accurate, you know, that it's doom and gloom and terrible and all of this, but only if you have an emotional attachment to the old empire. Exactly. Which the more you learn about the old empire for me, the easier it is to, like, go, I don't want to go back to being indoctrinated in schools and run by Big Pharma and stolen elections.

I want to go somewhere without that. Right. Look how bad our lives are. Right? And that all comes from this end of the dollar stuff.

So personally, when you detox there's that what do they call that? The Hersheimer reaction. Yeah, we're going to go through some really nasty stuff, but we've got to get all this stuff out of the body politic, including the bad food, including the chemtrails, including the bad water we got to go through. And anybody that puts fluoride in water should be hauled up and put on charges and go to jail. That kind of thing.

Right. We need to have a realistic appraisal of who we are, what we are, and how to deal with this on a realistic basis. So I'm all for optimism at this particular point because I've lived all my childhood life inside the military industrial complex as an army brat at a very high level with the shit my dad got into all over the planet seeing this stuff. So I saw the system and knew that it had to die. It was not a good thing that the military ran this way.

I understood why they had to, et cetera. But you get to see all of the stupidity of the money allocations and that kind of thing, right? And as a kid. So I'm with you on that. It's good that this will die.

I don't think of it as a cancer, though. We've been invaded, we've got all these problems, we've got mental illness and all of that. It's more like a parasite, right? Well, no, I see, I don't even think of it as an affliction that way. I think of it as a rite of passage in your life, likely.

You never faced death in your teens, okay? So you never had a rite of passage. Men used to do that and many men did not survive because it is necessary that you face that. At that time, we used to have war as a rite of passage. You would send a young man off to Vietnam and you would not get a young man back even if he was there for a very short period of time.

Right. It was what you saw that altered you and made you different. But that rite of passage was valuable because it made you the man that you became later on. And so we are not ourselves without our wounds, without having been wounded. You don't know how to heal and grow.

And so our body politic, in my opinion, it doesn't have a disease so much as it has been wounded, has been assaulted, and we need to heal. But when we heal, you always have that scar to remind you, don't be a dumb son of a bitch again. Right? And so that's what I think our body politic is going through, that we're going through a healing phase. And we've got a lot of wounded individuals, many of whom will not survive these next few years because they're deep into the old empire, right?

And they can't see any way to exist without it. So they will figure out some way to not exist without it because it is definitely going. That shrillness that you hear out of all of those minds, the trans, the other people, the far lefties, the progressives communist antifa, that shrillness and shrieking is basically their death agony because their minds are in rebellion to the changes that they feel coming to them. I see this in the language constantly now that Twitter has been opened up, right? And you see the reaction to the fragility of the people reacting to other people just stating it's a woman, or yeah, it's a guy, dude, and they go totally batshit.

These are minds that can't deal with our reality, and our reality is going to get really ugly in a real fast period of time, just months, and it's already started. Deutsche bank, they'll bail it out, but even then it's just yet another Band Aid, yet another limping, and we get three or four of them going down in a single day. There may not be bailouts at that point, and then it's really good at Cascade. I think that's may I think we're only weeks away from that. And as it comes on up, then we hit this real wall.

And that is what's the federal government going to do. This massive spend, everything spending beyond our understanding because they don't tell us half of what they're actually spending and they're not going to have it. There's going to be a very serious element of rapidity in the events from May through July and August because some of these agencies work on a month by month basis, right? Some of them are quarterly, some of them are a little bit longer than that, six months biannually and so on. But we're going to start seeing a cascading effect hitting government in May without funding.

And it's going to be really strange. We're already seeing it in some areas where there were contracts for we have in our county, we have these guys to get the prisoners out of the jails. They make them clean up along the road if they want, right? Get you out, you walk around and so on. Well, the vans that do that are on a contract for the gasoline.

Very soon the gasoline will exceed what the contract was written for, so they won't be able to do that. That'll also affect school buses and transportation and all of these different kinds of effects are going to spread as the currency becomes that much more degraded. And then we're going to have to play catch up. So what will the governments do when the cost of fuel is twice what is maximally allowed on the contract and they don't have the ability to kick it out another month? They're just not going to buy fuel and that stuff just won't get done.

And I think that starts in May and June and July. And so it's almost like all the gears that have been oiled through this fiat currency, realistically, that oil runs out and everything just comes to a screeching halt. And what's interesting that to kind of look at that, take a step back and it's like, well, what comes to the screeching heart? Well, by and large, it's the parasitic class. It's the giant bureaucracy, the government, all of the people on these massive pensions and salaries and unions that it's a lot of this really, I think a lot of the communist kind of foundation items and kind of going back into the other pre communists.

It's this really corrupt part of our society that in a lot of ways is the first to go. It's like they've used their corrupt banking system to fuel all of their corrupt systems that are used to maintain their control over the populace. And so when their banking system, it's like that's, their fuel runs out, all of their machines or the oil, everything just stops working. It grinds down, starts seizing up. Right?

And bribery works that way as well. Exactly. Okay, back in like 2003 or 2004, I got really excited. I thought it was only maybe a few years away, not this long, but one of the data sets that was persistent over time, started relating the UFO issue to our economics, and it would bind them. Because basically the idea was that the secret UFO reverse engineering, military industrial complex research facilities with all their scientists and all of this kind of stuff, are going to run out of money in this very first go round.

And we will see scientists in deep bunkers that are used to having money and food and stuff come on out and say, well, now what do I do? And they'll take that little alien thing with them and try and sell it on ebay, that kind of thing. Right. So that we will have these guys coming out and it will be a natural response to their circumstances to try and stay alive, that they'll sell what they know. And then the rest of us will start knowing some of this stuff and that the data was quite clear that the chaos of the time would be in a summer which is very atypical.

Right. So since 2003 or so, it has forecast the end of the dollar system in the summer. All of the wethonians, all of the parasitical class always do their harvests in fall. That's when we around the Jewish holiday, right? Exactly.

We're in a Jewish holiday, but we're in the wrong Jewish holiday at this point for their harvest and their crash. But we're having our crash now and it's going to escalate through summer. It's going to be very atypical and it's going to be a sure sign that they're not in control of this. Right. But anyway, all of this stuff is lining up pretty precisely.

So 2003, I get a data set that said people are going to crawl out of their holes because of desperation and sell us their UFO secrets and that in that same summer we're going to have riots in the United States over food. And this was in 2003. Bbt cards running out. Exactly. Well, even beyond that availability, look at all the food plants that have been destroyed.

They want us to eat bugs. All of this stuff, all of this stuff is coming out now. That was forecast in 2003, but in 2003, I wrote it down and put it in the reports and said, guys, this is what the data is showing. I'm not going to lie to you. I don't know how it could possibly be that people in the United States would riot over not having food, but that they would.

One of those riots was described in some detail as being in an intersection of Delaware. And Maryland and that the food riot would spill over into a government facility where people would break through a back wall, a back fence that was somehow there for construction purposes and go into this building thinking there was food in there and they would find a mob like, angry rioting kind of thing. And they would find vast quantities of paper records about UFOs and stuff that they would be taking pictures of with their phone and dumping online and passing out to people. And this huge unexpected disclosure would occur. And that would happen in July or in August or September, late August or early September.

And damn, look, we're in a year where there could be food riots and where we do have the dollar dying and people could be in the deep holes in May getting their paycheck and it not be there in June. That kind of a thing. Right?

I say one more thing. We know that this is occurring already because the military industrial complex is now having to bitch and moan about Congress, about raising the value on some of these contracts and getting them money sooner. It's starting to grind down now. Yeah, it's almost one way of looking at it is that what we're entering into is we've lived in lies, right? We've lived in Plato's Cave.

But it's like in so many different ways we're entering into this period it really could be described as like a great disclosure of the truth where it is a massive disclosure of the truth that's been hidden from us. And with it, though, falls all the lies. So it's like if you look at the institutions that will grind to a hole, there's your woke college stuff, there's the women's studies. All the things that are built on lies. They can't exist in a world that's not funded by lies and funded by fake money.

So when all that disappears, all those things crumble around us. And I think that we're left with truth and we're left with how we should be living as humans. Okay, so I'm a linguist. I'm a pain in the ass to deal with. So I will object to the word truth, okay?

Because most people don't understand. Truth does not relate to fact. There's fact and then there's truth. If you examine it, really think about it, really, really think about it and examine all these things, you will find that truth, my truth or your truth that is factual that you can have a truth that is different from mine because truth is an emotional response to something out in your environment or something within you. Okay?

So it is factual that XYZ might exist. It is factual that I've got a metal cup here but I don't have any emotional attachment to that metal cup. It's not my truth that this is a fact. Right. So this was the nature of the stuff I had to get into.

I went in much deeper in all of this stuff in that large language model and basically why I ended up working alone. I was driving everybody crazy because I had to go so deep in it. And then I would object because in order for me to keep doing this. I could not allow my thinking to go backwards, so to speak, and be at that higher level where I really hadn't analyzed, because I needed to get down and assign emotional values to all of the words that came in for intensity, for duration, for all of these different kinds of things. And in order to do that, I had to have a clear understanding of at least how I felt because all words go back to emotion.

And then I had to get all kinds of people involved in surreptitiously getting their emotional responses to various different words to make sure that I was doing it correctly. So I do object to the word truth being used where you really want to use the word facts. So we are coming in. We actually are coming into a period of a new truth that everybody will have a new truth about, the new reality that's going to be facing us as we start looking at facts in ways that we've never done before because it has been deliberately obscured from us. And I think this is going to be hugely liberating.

A whole new world is out there for us to invent and create, and we're going to get rid of all of the crap that's been weighing us down. And I'm very excited to still be alive and be able to participate in this, especially these next 20 years. It's just going to be staggering. We got to get through this shitty part of the war these next couple of years. And it's just something you got to do, right?

You got to go in, out, and you got to clean out the septic pit. It's something you know you got to do. So you just grit your teeth and you go do it. And when you're done, you're done. Yeah.

Do I have time for one more question? We've been going well past it. Okay. I'm really enjoying this. So in looking at that, you're also, I think, a very practical person.

And for people that are aware of what's coming, they're aware of we see the hurricane off on the horizon and everyone else is like, oh, there's this nice breeze. It's like, no, it's a hurricane coming. And so we're boarding up our houses. We're doing all those getting water filled up or driving to the middle of America, right? What are some of the things that you are doing or you recommend that people do in terms of whether it relates to food or they've got all their money in the stock market and not necessarily giving financial advice?

But knowing this is coming and you having the inside this, how is it changing what you're doing right now to make sure that you're looking at this, saying, you know what? I'm doing everything possible now to make sure that I make it to the other side of this big, ugly So first thing you have to do is understand that at its core, it all relates to the money at this point in the big, ugly A lot of the Big Ugly is the emotional reality that I got a Jab and oh, my God, it's in me now that I know the truth about it. That's a huge part of the Big Ugly. All the people dying, the disabilities, disabilities, if you look at it, are just off the chart. 1300% increase in reduction of work hours since the shots came out.

So we're in a real world of hurt here, okay? So we know it's going to get ugly. So here's the thing. Money is an intermediate. We have attachment to it.

It's a useful thing, but it's not the thing we actually desire, okay? We desire whatever we can buy with that money. So if you have money now, my advice on everything is to buy the stuff you're going to need in the future, okay? If you buy all the stuff you're going to need in the future that you can possibly store in your little house the way I have, and you've got some money left over, then you can think about storing the purchasing power of that money for the future by buying something that's not dollars or fiat currency, okay? As long as it's not dollars or fiat currency, it's instantly paying you for having it.

So if I bought something right now, if I buy coffee, and it cost me $5 a pound to buy coffee beans now, I'm much better off putting the $5 that way than putting $5 in gold with the expectation of buying the coffee beans later. Because maybe later the coffee beans will have escalated in price because of availability issues, not just because of the money itself. So really it's the things you need now that you should be concentrating on getting. We're going to come up to we've got food issues. So personally, I'm very paranoid.

If I could store a year's worth of food, I would, right? That's just the way it would be for me if I could do that. My way of thinking is you need to store food, get yourself water, get fuel if you need it, maybe make some provisions for electricity. Right. Because I think we're going to go through a period of time when our electrical grid will not be very stable and then start worrying about any excess wealth in the form of putting it into something.

And my recommendations are, in order of potential appreciation would be bitcoin, silver and gold. Okay? So Bitcoin can potentially appreciate against the dollar further than silver will, and silver will appreciate further than gold, but they're all good. You could even buy copper, okay? You could have copper.

Any kind of a solid commodity that could be traded will be valuable in the future. Very helpful. It's funny because I've changed my perspective of this. Like, as I mentioned before, I just bought a couple of thousand rounds of, I think, 308 and nine millimeter just to set aside. And maybe that was $1,000.

Right. And so before I was looking at, okay, I just spent money on that. Whereas now I'm thinking, well, no, all I've done is I've taken that $1,000 of value that's sitting in this fiat currency, I've transferred it into this ammunition, which is still worth $1,000 because it's more of a commodity. It's not going out and bought a painting. That's $1,000.

It's actually worth nothing. Right. But then also in the future, as the supply and demand changes and if there is instability, I'm looking at thinking, okay, if there's instability, people are going to need more ammunition. And then also we have inflation. So maybe in the future, I can trade even, say, 50 of those rounds for the equivalent of what would now I could have bought for $1,000.

Right. So that's how I'm kind of looking at it. I'm looking at how can I it's no longer about how much money do I have sitting in the bank, or what's my total net worth in dollars. It's about, well, or say a five gallon bucket of black beans, dried back black beans. What's that going to be worth?

Right? What are my chicken is going to be worth in the future? Then also, what is the silver going to be worth?

Really? In my opinion, you can only really store a certain amount of metals. Okay. The reason lead, 308, nine millimeter rounds. Sure, no problem, right.

You can store as many of those as you could possibly get hold of. But storing a lot of silver and a lot of gold is sort of self defeating. Because here's the thing. In order to okay, so you can trade it locally, but if you've stored so much that you can't trade that locally and you stored it with the expectation that you would convert it back into a new system and then get something out of it, that may not be the correct way to think about it. Or rather, it might be 20 years before we have a system like that again that would allow that.

Because right now, if you were to, say, buy a million dollars worth of gold and you put it into a vault or even have it shipped to your garage, how are you going to get a million dollars out of that? If you live in a small area, even if you live in a very large area, you'd have to take that million dollars worth of gold and trade it with everybody in your area to get stuff in order to recover the value out of it. So large stashes of metal actually imply that you have some faith in a system existing at the time that you want to convert those back into something of a species for buying. Right. So there's only two possibilities for metals like that, or three, you could just never, ever do anything with.

Them, bury them in the ground and they just sit there. Or you're going to trade them out for stuff locally, or you're going to try and trade them at a higher level to get something that can then be used for local purchases historically. Here's how it worked. In the 1929 through 33 period of time, we had the stock market crash, and then we had the bond crash. The bonds were ever so much more devastating.

They actually put us into the depression, just as we've already started to have the bond crash now. So we're already technically in the depression, but the derivatives are going to come on up and then they're going to put us into something far worse than a depression. And I don't know what we're going to call it, okay? But in 1933 or 19, it was 1930, after the stock market crash, a guy there was a famous picture, probably even still find it, I think it's probably New York times. It shows these two guys with a crowd around them standing around a brand new Bentley, the long flat hood kind of Bentley.

And sitting on the hood of the Bentley, on one side was a guy with a stack of silver coins, 20, 1oz or 23oz of silver. And on the other side was the guy with the title. And so the guy bought the Bentley car that had cost $2,500 in 1929 to bring over from England. He bought that for his stack of 23 silver coins. So that was a trade that existed at that point right now.

So in 1931, my step grandfather left California and came up to Washington state and he mined gold for a couple of years because of great depression, no jobs, all of this, and he knew stuff was coming. By 1934, he goes back down to California with the gold, and he was able to trade the gold that he had mined and bought a mountain, 2500 acres in the hills on top of a mountain in California, which also turned out to have gold on it. Okay? Also in that period of time, there was a $3 million house, $3 million, imagine $3 million house, probably 25, 30,000 sqft brick, all of this kind of stuff. In upstate New York, this $3 million house sold for 125oz of silver at that time.

The guy was so broke and everything, right? So that's what we're going to be doing for trades in the future. So that's the kind of escalation that you can expect in relative value, but you're not going to be able to say, you can't really say at that point that, well, 125oz of silver is worth $3 million. It just is not an effective way to think about it, nor would there be a mechanism to convert that to dollars. It's interesting because I heard recently someone talking about how in Venezuela after their collapse, that an ounce of silver would buy one month's worth of food and rations for a family.

That was something that the currency was completely could put wheelbarrows of a currency to buy one chicken. Yet an ounce of silver would feed and supply a family for a month. So that's another good. And also hearing about back in Germany Weimar Republic after their collapse, people were buying buildings with maybe a gold coin would buy a home or a building interest. Yeah, well, there's a famous one here on the West Coast.

A guy works as a bell hop in a hotel in California years and he gets a tip from a guy from Alaska, $20 gold piece, staggering $20 tip, right. The guy was really flush. So the bellhop puts the money away and then twelve or 15 years later, the bond crash happens. So this has been the early 1920s. Then in 1933, the bond crash happens.

He buys a four story hotel for that single tip. He bought the hotel he worked in for that $20 gold piece and ran it thereafter. Right? So that's the kind of stuff that we're going to be getting into here relative to this crash. Now, ours is going to be a very hard time.

The big ugly is lots of death because there's a lot of people that are dying and disabled from these damn shots. If you believed the numbers that are out there from officialdom maybe 75% of the USA population took at least one of these things, right? I don't know that I believe those, but let's just say that that was reasonably accurate. We could expect then that the 25% that didn't take the shots ten years from now will be living in a very much altered planet, okay? If we don't get invaded by the Chinese to try and take over our lands and stuff, which I actually don't think is feasible because of the nature of China and their army and the fact they don't do logistics well getting all those millions of people across the ocean kind of thing, right?

But in any event, so if we don't go that route, we're still going to have an entirely different North America and also an entirely different Western Republic. All the western republics got hit by this as well.

You can make certain predictions just on how we are now. So we could imagine very accurately that politically the attack by the WEF and the CCP with the bioweapon and the shots and all of this is going to create the hardest toughest of all generations as a result of this over these next 20 years, right. And that we won't be a loose and soft kind of a republic that will be very much more like hadrian's Rome, okay? Which is interesting too, because at that time, a dinaris, what we would call a dime's worth of silver, would feed a man for a week. It would buy you a soldier for a week, pay him a dinars a week.

And so we're going to get back to that level. As I say the big ugly it's going to be horrific. I think there's reason to suspect optimism that it's not as bad as officialdom is going to portray nor is it as bad as they think. I actually have worked for government as a subcontractor for years at state and local levels. And we used to have to aggregate numbers and send them on upchain to the state and they would send them on upchain to the federal government and stuff.

And then you'd hear later, months later, after your work getting all these numbers together, you'd hear these things aggregated in some kind of a federal thing. And you'd say, well, jeez, they're saying that there's 190,000,000 of whatever, some number that they pick up for something. And you say, well, based on my experience, what we did in our county to come up with those numbers was 100% bogus. We were just guessing it was just a wild ass gift as to any of this shit and if we'd actually been called on it we would have been hard pressed to hoax up something to support those numbers. So I don't really believe anything the federal government gets in the way of statistics through those kind of reporting chains because it's not in anybody's interest to provide bad numbers or low numbers or whatever.

So it's always growing and so on. So I don't think it's actually as bad I don't think that 75% actually took the shots. This level of uncertainty also impacts the WEF and our government because you see frequently them betraying I'll just go back to this real quick. It's really interesting with my knowledge of language to listen to government lie because of how much they reveal and how they're lying and what they're lying about. But anyway so I think that they are aware so the overclass is aware of how tenuous their existence is now.

I think they've actually many of them that are smart know they've lost and they're desperate to try and do something over these next year and a half or so to prevent their personal hide from being flayed away from them as we see Macron will macron survive physically? Will he survive another two months? All it's going to take is one confrontation with an angry mob and that overwhelms his security and no more macron because they're that angry and we can envision that that will happen here in the United States as well. In fact, data sets had been forecasting it back in 2002, 2003, about people that would be so angry they would snipe politicians on their way to work, or that people mobs that would be so angry about stuff that they would seize on different groups as being the cause of their problems and go and seek out these different groups. Right.

Sort of in the way we see some black people being told to go and beat up white people basically as their oppressors and stuff. There's going to be this backlash around the shots, and it'll get to the point where we will have activity like direct action. So I won't call it terrorism. I'll call it retribution, perhaps, and that there will be a lot of individuals that will be injured and killed as a result of this, some of them probably innocently, but nonetheless, there's always collateral damage. And that was a big part of the Big Ugly.

It'll hit us in May and June as we get into this, as all of the lies start breaking down and the people that have been tricked really understand what's going on with them and they're going to take it very badly. That was really the big thing that I was trying to warn everybody about with Big Ugly because I don't care much about the money aspect of it, right. I've never been really motivated by money, and it's going to go away and there isn't anything we can do about it. But there are things we can do about trying to calm this down and keep people from being victims of their own actions in the form of retribution coming back. Yeah.

Gosh, there's so much to process here. But I know we're coming up on almost 2 hours and I really appreciate I've got all the time in the world. I could talk to you for days on it, I think, but I appreciate the time that you've given me today and just what you're doing. And again, I encourage folks, I'll put your links for your Bit shoot and your substac in the description because I think that folks should be checking you out and following your work and supporting you in the ways they can. And it's just been such an enjoyable conversation with you.

Look, I legitimately have a lot of hope for the future. I wouldn't want to live in any other time in history, and that's how I really feel. Same here. I've always, throughout history, always looked at all of those places where we've had tumultuous happenings and big changes and stuff and to live in one like this. Another thing, too, by the way, is that astrologically, we're dealing with Pluto now, and Pluto is the great transformer.

It upends everything, it's knowledge, and it's moving into Aquarius and it'll be there for what, I think 1216 years or something starting next year. So everything is aligning, right? Even the stars are aligning with us in this battle going forward, and we're seeing the end of the Piscean Age. So truly, I think fantastically, great times. Fantastically, horrific times.

Well, great expectations. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Exactly. Well, thank you again for coming on. Okay, no worries.

Thank you very much. So, folks, I hope that that has left you with some hope for the future. I know it does. For me, it really gives me this urge of wanting to survive and get through this. And in a lot of ways, like, we ended with a level of excitement for where we live.

But I really hope that you're taking the preparation to get through whatever is to come seriously. And there's really two lots of ways, but two big ways I really recommend is making sure that your food and seeds are taken care of and your finances. And look, I know that it's easy to say, well, okay, if you push doom and gloom, it's easy to sell the solutions to the groom and gloom. That's not what this is. I mean, what I'm trying to do to you is I'm telling you how I'm approaching things in my life.

And what I truly believe, I genuinely believe that we're entering into a period where there could be food riots and massive food shortages. So when I say, look, I recommend getting six months or a year or whatever of storable food, it's because I want you to be able to get through that time period and to not be one of the people that is forced to go into a city to search for food or whatever that looks like. And when I talk about gold and silver, I don't want it to be that one day. What happens is you realize you can no longer access your money in your account. Or you say you've got $300,000 in the stock market and it collapses.

Or in a 401k, it just dissipates. Because look back at what happened in Yma Republic. Look at different currency collapses. This is the time that we're in. Whereas as Cliff talked about, and I'm not saying you should be speculative and that you should go buy gold or silver and think, okay, if silver is going to hit $600 an ounce, right, but I don't think you should do that.

But what we talked about there is actually true. I mean, a lot of times when these collapses happen, which they happen all the time in our history, it's the people that have that gold or silver, they can then buy the building or buy the car or buy the food or whatever it is. And I think also we will see, I think, an increase in value in those assets because they have been artificially kept down. The corrupt banking system that part of the ability to manage their unlimited money printing is suppressing the prices of gold and silver. And so once they no longer have control over that system, you're going to see that the prices of gold and silver, I think, will actually go up significantly.

So if you want to check this out, for the gold and silver, I highly recommend Dr. Kirk Elliot. To learn more about that, set up a free wealth consultation. It's goldwithseth.com. So go to goldwithseth.com.

Or you can just call them on the phone. It's 720-3053 900. Again, 720-3053 900. And for your food and seeds, for them, I recommend Heaven's Harvest. They're also amazing Christian patriots that own the company.

I know them personally, and they have got very good, high quality food that's storeable to last up to 25 years. And they've got heirloom seeds that will allow you to grow food year after year, because the heirloom seeds, they'll allow you to reproduce the same food, while all the other modern GMO seeds, they won't let you reproduce again. They won't germinate the next year after so it's heavensharvest.com. And if you use promo code Seth, you'll save 15% on your entire order. That's promo code Seth@heavensharvest.com.

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.

Endless terror. Refugee waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel: the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to power now is understanding our new age of networks. Not merely the Internet, but also webs of trade, finance, and even DNA. Based on his years of advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the losers are not yet seeing -- and what the victors of this age already know.

This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. Johnson’s storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. You’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.

Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable. Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention. From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular. In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates: · The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses · Why Facebook is today’s most important newspaper · How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump · The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history · How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters · How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals · The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon · Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best · Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations · Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today · Why another year --1932--created the business model of film · How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth · How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere

Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

Some people think that in today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who can teach, lead, and inspire. In a world where we are constantly connected, and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. Because no matter who you are or what profession you're in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: · The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting · The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about · How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, everyday · Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news · How to blow off the right people · And why, when in doubt, buy him a Bonsai A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” The Art of People shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

Why should I do business with you… and not your competitor? Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider – if you cannot answer this question, you are surely losing customers, clients and market share. This eye-opening book reveals how identifying your competitive advantages (and trumpeting them to the marketplace) is the most surefire way to close deals, retain clients, and stay miles ahead of the competition. The five fatal flaws of most companies: • They don’t have a competitive advantage but think they do • They have a competitive advantage but don’t know what it is—so they lower prices instead • They know what their competitive advantage is but neglect to tell clients about it • They mistake “strengths” for competitive advantages • They don’t concentrate on competitive advantages when making strategic and operational decisions The good news is that you can overcome these costly mistakes – by identifying your competitive advantages and creating new ones. Consultant, public speaker, and competitive advantage expert Jaynie Smith will show you how scores of small and large companies substantially increased their sales by focusing on their competitive advantages. When advising a CEO frustrated by his salespeople’s inability to close deals, Smith discovered that his company stayed on schedule 95 percent of the time – an achievement no one else in his industry could claim. By touting this and other competitive advantages to customers, closing rates increased by 30 percent—and so did company revenues. Jack Welch has said, “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.” This straight-to-the-point book is filled with insightful stories and specific steps on how to pinpoint your competitive advantages, develop new ones, and get the message out about them.

The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B. With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.

In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living. Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

Bold is a radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools to create extraordinary wealth while also positively impacting the lives of billions.

The answer is simple: come up with 10 ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, the key is to exercise your "idea muscle", to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to 10 you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine. When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at 10 a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself.

A Guide to Resilience: How to Bounce Back from Life's Inevitable Problems Christian Moore is convinced that each of us has a power hidden within, something that can get us through any kind of adversity. That power is resilience. In The Resilience Breakthrough, Moore delivers a practical primer on how you can become more resilient in a world of instability and narrowing opportunity, whether you're facing financial troubles, health setbacks, challenges on the job, or any other problem. We can each have our own resilience breakthrough, Moore argues, and can each learn how to use adverse circumstances as potent fuel for overcoming life's hardships. As he shares engaging real-life stories and brutally honest analyses of his own experiences, Moore equips you with 27 resilience-building tools that you can start using today - in your personal life or in your organization.

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim--but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next--and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others--subtle gestures, sounds, and signals--that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.

From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: “Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors”; thesis no. 20: “Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them.” The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.

Tesla's main source of inspiration.
Roger Joseph Boscovich, a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and polymath, published the first edition of his famous work, Philosophiae Naturalis Theoria Redacta Ad Unicam Legem Virium In Natura Existentium (Theory Of Natural Philosophy Derived To The Single Law Of Forces Which Exist In Nature), in Vienna, in 1758, containing his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice

Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor's history of the Conspiracy since the Boer War in South Africa.
TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

This is the July, 2016 ALTA (Asymmetric Linguistic Trends Analysis) Report. Also known as 'the Web Bot' report, this series is brought to you by halfpasthuman.com.

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the "time flow" conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of "the active properties of time", by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics.

How UFO Time Engines work - Clif High

The webpage discusses the workings of UFO time engines according to N.A. Kozyrev's experiments. The LL1 engine is described as a hollow metal sphere with a pool of mercury metal inside. When activated by electrical energy, it creates a uni-polar magnetic field causing the mercury to spin at a high rate and induce "time stuff" to accumulate on its surface. The accrued time stuff is siphoned down magnetically to the radiating antennae on the bottom of the vessel, providing self-sustaining power and allowing for time travel. The environment inside UFOs is likely volatile and not suitable for humans.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this survey offers highly detailed accounts concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). Readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates, it includes much information unavailable elsewhere. This single-volume edition comprises both The Classical Theories and The Modern Theories, which were originally published separately. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the age of the Greek philosophers to the late 19th century. The second volume chronicles discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, focusing on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. Noted historian of science I. Bernard Cohen, who reviewed these books for Scientific American, observed, "I know of no other history of electricity which is as sound as Whittaker's. All those who have found stimulation from his works will read this informative and accurate history with interest and profit."

The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.

Objects are a ubiquitous presence and few of us stop and think what they mean in our lives. This is the job of philosophers and this is what Jean Baudrillard does in his book. This is required reading for followers of Baudrillard, and he is perhaps the most assessable to the General Reader. Baudrillard is most associated with Post Modernism, and this early book sets the stage for that journey to the post modern world.
We are all surrounded by objects, but how many times have we thought about what those objects represent. If we took the time to think about the symbolism, we could arrive at easy solutions. We have been so accustomed to advertising the automobile representing freedom is an easy conclusion. But what about furniture? What about chairs? What about the arrangement of furniture? Watches? Collecting objects? Baudrillard literally opens up a new world and creates the universe of objects.
It is not that the critique of a society or objects has not been done before, but Baudrillard’s approach is new. Baudrillard examines objects as signs with a smattering of Post-Marxist thought. In his analysis of objects as signs, he ushers in the Post-Modern age and world for which he would be known. Heady stuff to be sure, but is presented by Baudrillard in a readily accessible manner. He articulates his thesis in a straightforward manner, avoiding the hyper-technical terminology he used in his later writings.

Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.

The book begins with Sidis's discovery of the first law of physical laws: "Among the physical laws it is a general characteristic that there is reversibility in time; that is, should the whole universe trace back the various positions that bodies in it have passed through in a given interval of time, but in the reverse order to that in which these positions actually occurred, then the universe, in this imaginary case, would still obey the same laws." Recent discoveries of dark matter are predicted by him in this book, and he goes on to show that the "Big Bang" is wrong. Sidis (SIGH-dis) shows that it is far more likely the universe is eternal

In this book you will encounter rare information regarding your true identity - the conscious self in the body - and how you may break the hypnotic spell your senses and thinking have cast about you since childhood.

Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.

2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: - What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? - What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?

The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

Undressing the Bible: in Hebrew, the Old Testament speaks for itself, explicitly and transparently. It tells of mysterious beings, special and powerful ones, that appeared on Earth.
Aliens?
Former earthlings?
Superior civilizations, that have always been present on our planet?
Creators, manipulators, geneticists. Aviators, warriors, despotic rulers. And scientists, possessing very advanced knowledge, special weapons and science-fiction-like technologies.
Once naked, the Bible is very different from how it has always been told to us: it does not contain any spiritual, omnipotent and omniscient God, no eternity. No apples and no creeping, tempting, serpents. No winged angels. Not even the Red Sea: the people of the Exodus just wade through a simple reed bed.
Writer and journalist Giorgio Cattaneo sits down with Italy's most renowned biblical translator for his first long interview about his life's work for the English audience. A decade long official Bible translator for the Church and lifelong researcher of ancient myths and tales, Mauro Bilglino is a unicum in his field of expertise and research. A fine connoisseur of dead languages, from ancient Greek to Hebrew and medieval Latin, he focused his attention and efforts on the accurate translating of the bible.
The encounter with Mauro Biglino and his work - the journalist writes - is profoundly healthy, stimulating and inevitably destabilizing: it forces us to reconsider the solidity of the awareness that nourishes many of our common beliefs. And it is a testament to the courage that is needed, today more than ever, to claim the full dignity of free research.

Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

This is the first English translation of this revolutionary essay by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, the great Russian-Ukrainian biogeochemist. It was first published in 1930 in French in the Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées. In it, Vernadsky makes a powerful and provocative argument for the need to develop what he calls “a new physics,” something he felt was clearly necessitated by the implications of the groundbreaking work of Louis Pasteur among few others, but also something that was required to free science from the long-lasting effects of the work of Isaac Newton, most notably.
For hundreds of years, science had developed in a direction which became increasingly detached from the breakthroughs made in the study of life and the natural sciences, detached even from human life itself, and committed reductionists and small-minded scientists were resolved to the fact that ultimately all would be reduced to “the old physics.” The scientific revolution of Einstein was a step in the right direction, but here Vernadsky insists that there is more progress to be made. He makes a bold call for a new physics, taking into account, and fundamentally based upon, the striking anomalies of life and human life.

Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries." Here are three key examples or concepts from "Synergetics":

Tensegrity

Tensegrity, or tensional integrity, refers to structural systems that use a combination of tension and compression components. The simplest example of this is the "tensegrity triangle", where three struts are held in position not by touching one another but by tensioned wires. These systems are stable and flexible. Tensegrity structures are pervasive in natural systems, from the cellular level up to larger biological and even cosmological scales.

Vector Equilibrium (VE)

The Vector Equilibrium, often referred to by Fuller as the "VE", is a geometric form that he saw as the central form in his synergetic geometry. It’s essentially a cuboctahedron. Fuller noted that the VE is the only geometric form wherein all the vectors (lines from the center to the vertices) are of equal length and angular relationship. Because of this, it’s seen as a condition of absolute equilibrium, where the forces of push and pull are balanced.

Closest Packing of Spheres

Fuller was fascinated by how spheres could be packed together in the tightest possible configuration, a concept he often linked to how nature organizes systems. For example, when you stack oranges in a grocery store, they form a hexagonal pattern, and the spheres (oranges) are in closest-packed arrangement. Fuller related this principle to atomic structures and even cosmic organization.

To prepare Americans and freedom loving people everywhere for our current global wartime reality that few understand, here comes The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare (CG5GW) by Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired) Michael T. Flynn and Sergeant, U.S. Army (Retired) Boone Cutler. General Flynn rose to the highest levels of the intelligence community and served as the National Security Advisor to the 45th POTUS. Sergeant Boone Cutler ran the ground game as a wartime Psychological Operations team sergeant in the United States Army. Together, these two combat veterans put their combined experience and expertise into an illuminating fifth-generation warfare information series called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare. Introduction to 5GW is the first session of the multipart series. The series, complete with easy-to-understand diagrams, is written for all of humanity in every freedom loving country.

Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian and Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist who is best known for his work on the biosphere and the noosphere concepts. His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Biosphere :

  • Vernadsky defined the biosphere as the thin layer of Earth where life exists, encompassing all living organisms and the parts of the Earth where they interact. This includes the depths of the oceans to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
  • He posited that life plays a critical role in transforming the Earth's environment. In this view, living organisms are not just passive inhabitants of the planet, but active agents of change. This idea contrasts with more traditional views that saw life as simply adapting to pre-existing environmental conditions.
  • One example of this transformative power is the oxygen-rich atmosphere, which was created by photosynthesizing organisms over billions of years.

It's worth noting that Vernadsky's ideas were formulated in a period when the world was experiencing rapid technological changes and were before the advent of concerns about global challenges like climate change. Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

Noosphere :

  • The concept of the noosphere can be seen as the next evolutionary stage following the biosphere. While the biosphere represents the realm of life, the noosphere represents the realm of human thought.
  • Vernadsky believed that, just as life transformed the Earth through the biosphere, human thought and collective intelligence would transform the planet in the era of the noosphere. This transformation would be characterized by the dominance of cultural evolution over biological evolution.
  • In this paradigm, human knowledge, technology, and cultural developments would become the primary drivers of change on the planet, influencing its future direction.
  • The term "noosphere" is derived from the Greek word “nous” meaning "mind" or "intellect" and "sphaira" meaning "sphere." So, the noosphere can be thought of as the "sphere of human thought."

A close analysis of the architecture of the stupa―a Buddhist symbolic form that is found throughout South, Southeast, and East Asia. The author, who trained as an architect, examines both the physical and metaphysical levels of these buildings, which derive their meaning and significance from Buddhist and Brahmanist influences.

Building on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of the Dogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.

It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages―Teutonic, Romance, Greek―helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a languages as it is actually used in everyday life.
But this book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know.

Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.

A complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. These timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras, at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony.

William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world - and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.

Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.

4th Turning

Excess Deaths & Why RFK Jr. Can Win The Democratic Presidential Race - Ed Dowd | Part 1 of 2 - 06-21-2023

All original edition. Nothing added, nothing removed. This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. To the general reader the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to 11th century, may seem infinitely remote today. Yet they have a close and unexpected bearing on our world, which emerges as Koestler recounts the fascinating history of the ancient Khazar Empire.

At about the time that Charlemagne was Emperor in the West. The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.Thereafter the Khazars found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohammed.As Koestler points out, the Khazars were the Third World of their day. They chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism. Mr. Koestler speculates about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry.

Few people noticed the secret codewords used by our astronauts to describe the moon. Until now, few knew about the strange moving lights they reported.
George H. Leonard, former NASA scientist, fought through the official veil of secrecy and studied thousands of NASA photographs, spoke candidly with dozens of NASA officials, and listened to hours and hours of astronauts' tapes.
Here, Leonard presents the stunning and inescapable evidence discovered during his in-depth investigation:

  • Immense mechanical rigs, some over a mile long, working the lunar surface.
  • Strange geometric ground markings and symbols.
  • Lunar constructions several times higher than anything built on Earth.
  • Vehicles, tracks, towers, pipes, conduits, and conveyor belts running in and across moon craters.
Somebody else is indeed on the Moon, and engaged in activities on a massive scale. Our space agencies, and many of the world's top scientists, have known for years that there is intelligent life on the moon.

The article delves into the history of the Khazars, a polity in the Northern Caucasus that existed from the mid-seventh century until about 970 CE. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Khazars" is misleading as it was a multiethnic entity, and it's uncertain which specific group adopted Judaism. The Khazars first emerged in the seventh century, defeating the Bulgars, which led to the Bulgars' dispersion to various regions. The Khazar Empire was established through the expulsion of the Bulgars and was multiethnic in nature. The language spoken by the Khazars is debated, with some suggesting Turkic origins and others pointing to Slavic. The Khazars had several cities and fortresses, with significant archaeological findings. The Khazars had interactions with various empires, including wars with the Arabs and alliances with Byzantine emperors. By the mid-10th century, the Khazar capital of Itil was destroyed by the Russians. The article concludes that much of what is known about the Khazars is based on limited sources.

In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature.

The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon’s creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma’s Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone.

The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood.

Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West,initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.

With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.

One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.

The Oera Linda Book is a 19th-century translation by Dr. Ottema and WIlliam R. Sandbach of an old manuscript written in the Old Frisian language that records historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, compiled between 2194 BC and AD 803.

  • The Oera Linda book challenges traditional views of pre-Christian societies.
  • Christianization is likened to a "great reset" that erased previous civilizations.
  • The Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people.
  • The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting patterns in history.
  • The importance of identity and understanding one's roots is highlighted.
  • The Oera Linda book offers wisdom and insights into several European languages.

The Oera Linda book offers a fresh perspective on our history, challenging the notion that pre-Christian societies were uncivilized. It suggests that the Christianization of societies was a form of "great reset," erasing and demonizing what existed before. The Oera Linda writings hint at an advanced civilization with its own laws, writing, and societal structures. Jan Ott's translation from the Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people. The text also touches upon the guilt many feel today, even if they aren't religious, about issues like climate change and historical slavery. It criticizes the way science is sometimes treated like a religion, with scientists acting as its preachers. The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting that understanding history requires recognizing patterns and cycles. Christianity is portrayed as one of the most significant resets in history, with sects fighting and erasing each other's scriptures. The importance of identity is highlighted, with a focus on the Fryans, a tribe that faced challenges from another tribe from Finland. This other tribe had a different moral compass, leading to conflicts and eventual assimilation. The text suggests that the true history of the Fryans and their values might have been distorted by subsequent Christian narratives. The Oera Linda book is seen as a source of wisdom, shedding light on the origins of several European languages and offering insights into values like freedom, truth, and justice.

The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.

This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.

Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied, and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela―where both countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state―to Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China; Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the Arab Spring.

This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.

The argument that the 16th Amendment (which concerns the federal income tax) was not properly ratified and thus is invalid has been a topic of debate among some tax protesters and scholars. One of the individuals associated with this theory is Bill Benson, who asserted that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified. Here's a brief overview of the argument: 1. Research and Documentation: Bill Benson, along with another individual named M.J. "Red" Beckman, wrote a two-volume work called "The Law That Never Was" in the 1980s. This work was a product of Benson's extensive travels to various state archives to examine the original ratification documents related to the 16th Amendment. 2. Claims of Irregularities: In his work, Benson presented evidence that claimed many of the states either did not ratify the 16th Amendment properly or made mistakes in their resolutions. Some of these alleged irregularities included misspellings, incorrect wording, and other deviations from the proposed amendment. 3. Philander Knox's Role: In 1913, Philander Knox, who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states. Benson's contention is that Knox was aware of the various discrepancies and irregularities in the ratification process but chose to fraudulently declare the amendment ratified anyway. 4. Legal Challenges and Court Rulings: Over the years, some tax protesters have used Benson's findings to challenge the legality of the income tax. However, these challenges have been consistently rejected by the courts. In fact, several courts have addressed Benson's research and arguments directly and found them to be without legal merit. The courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of the 16th Amendment. 5. Counterarguments: Critics of Benson's theory argue that even if there were minor discrepancies in the wording or format of the ratification documents, they do not invalidate the overarching intent of the states to ratify the amendment. Additionally, they assert that there's no substantive evidence that Knox acted fraudulently. It's worth noting that despite the popularity of this theory among certain groups, the legal consensus in the U.S. is that the 16th Amendment was validly ratified and is a legitimate part of the U.S. Constitution. Those who refuse to pay income taxes based on this theory have faced legal penalties.

The article delves into the evolution of the concept of the ether in physics. Historically, the ether was postulated to explain the propagation of light, with figures like Newton and Huygens suggesting its existence. By the late 19th century, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory linked light's propagation to the ether, a theory experimentally validated by Hertz in 1888. Lorentz expanded on this, focusing on wave transmission in moving media. The article contrasts the English approach, which sought tangible models, with the phenomenological view, which aimed for a descriptive approach without specific hypotheses. The piece also touches on various mechanical theories and models proposed over the years, emphasizing the challenges in defining the ether's properties and its evolving nature in scientific discourse.
