Brazil’s President is Actively Trying to Destroy the Amazon Rainforest, Leaked Documents Show

Read

The Brazilian president is actively trying to devastate the Amazon rainforest, leaked documents have revealed.

The documents show arguments put forward by Jair Bolsonaro that a strong government presence in the Amazon region is important to prevent any conservation projects going forward.

Intending to build bridges, motorways, and a hydroelectric plant in the rainforest, the Brazilian government hopes to ‘fight off international pressure’ to protect the Amazon, according to the leaked information.

As reported by The Independent, the plans were leaked to political website openDemocracy and include PowerPoint slides believed to have been presented at a meeting in February between Brazilian government officials and local leaders in Para state, which is home to the Amazonia National Park.

During the meeting, Brazilian ministers put forward projects planned for the region by President Bolsonaro’s government, with one slide mentioning a priority to strategically occupy the rainforest.

The slide reads, as per openDemocracy:

"Development projects must be implemented on the Amazon basin to integrate it into the rest of the national territory in order to fight off international pressure for the implementation of the so-called ‘Triple A’ project.

"To do this, it is necessary to build the Trombetas River hydroelectric plant, the Óbidos bridge over the Amazon River, and the implementation of the BR-163 highway to the border with Suriname."

The ‘Triple A’ (Andes, Amazon and Atlantic) project is a conservation effort led by the organisation Gaia Amazonas, which aims to conserve 265 million square kilometers of jungle and ‘the lungs of our world’.

But now Bolsonaro, Brazil’s controversial far-right president, appears to be sabotaging this effort as devastating fires rage through the Amazon. Fires which are causing a loss equivalent to three football fields per minute, according to the latest government data.

The rainforest – which covers northwestern Brazil and extends into Colombia, Peru and other South American countries – has been burning for weeks, plunging Brazil’s Sao Paulo into darkness and devastating the Amazon.

If the fire continues to burn at its current rate, this will be the first month for several years in which Brazil loses an area of forest bigger than Greater London, with many fearing it will never be able to recover.

According to the latest data from Brazilian satellites, as per The Guardian, 1,345 square kilometres of the region were cleared in July – a third higher than the previous monthly record under its current monitoring system, the Deter B satellite system, which started in 2015.

Bolsonaro yesterday (August 22) claimed his government ‘lacks the resources’ to extinguish the fire, although environmental groups are now placing the blame for the devastation directly on him.

Richard George, head of forests at Greenpeace, told The Independent:

"The whole area around the Amazon has been highly volatile with loggers and farmers, and Bolsonaro has absolutely lit a torch under that."

The fire currently sweeping through the rainforest reportedly took hold after farmers announced a coordinated ‘day of fire’ on August 10, due to the president giving the go-ahead for farmers and illegal loggers to enter indigenous communities.

The Amazon rainforest provides 20 per cent of the world’s oxygen, Business Insider reports. However, if it continues to burn it would not only stop producing this oxygen and supporting wildlife, but it could also worsen climate change by triggering a ‘doomsday dieback scenario’.

This would ultimately result in dry leaves which, as well as being unable to absorb as much carbon, would be much more flammable and likely to spread fires – potentially causing the release of 140 billion tonnes of carbon stored in the Amazon into the atmosphere. As a result, global temperatures could rise even further.

Since the public were made aware of the devastating fire, millions rallied together to sign a petition urging the Brazilian government to ban the burning of the Amazon – something which could easily play a detrimental role in the climate emergency we are currently facing.

Former MSNBC Reporter Spills Details On Pro-Establishment Bias In Media

Read

The ridiculous corporate media freakout over Senator Bernie Sanders’ entirely legitimate accusations of pro-establishment bias continues today, with shrill, absurd new headlines like “Sanders campaign continues attacks on journalists” and “Bernie Sanders isn’t sorry” featuring hysterical MSM drama queens rending their garments over the suggestion that plutocrat-owned media outlets could be favorable to the plutocrat-owned establishment.

In response to this cartoonish display of billionaire-sponsored performance art, The Hill‘s Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjati aired a segment on their online show Rising which is as damning an exposé on the dynamics of mass media empire propaganda as we are ever likely to witness.

With startling frankness and honesty, the pair disclose their experience with the way anyone who is critical of the establishment consensus is excluded from mainstream media platforms, as well as the way access journalism, financial incentives, prestige incentives and peer pressure are used to herd mainstream reporters into toeing the establishment line once they’re in.

I strongly urge you to watch the eight-minute segment for yourself, but I’ll be transcribing parts of it as well for those who prefer reading, as well as for posterity, because it really is that historically significant.

I will surely be referring back to this segment in my arguments about plutocratic media bias for years to come, because it confirms and validates everything that analysts like Noam Chomsky have been saying about mass media propaganda like nothing else I’ve ever seen.

Status quo propaganda is the underlying root of all our problems, and Ball and Enjati have gifted us with an invaluable tool for understanding and attacking it.

After laying out the evidence from some recent examples of bias against Sanders in the mainstream media, former MSNBC reporter Krystal Ball (yes, her real name) asked rhetorically, “Now the question is why?”

“Look, obviously I’ve worked in this industry for a minute at this point and journalists aren’t bad people, in fact, they’re some of my closest friends and favorite people,” Ball said.

“But they are people, they’re human beings who respond to their own self-interest, incentives and group think. So it’s not like there’s typically some edict coming down from the top saying ‘Be mean to Bernie’, but there are tremendous blind spots.

“I would argue the most egregious have to do with class. And there are certain pressures too — to stay in good with the establishment [and] to maintain the access that is the life blood of political journalism. So what do I mean? Let me give an example from my own career since everything I’m saying here really frankly applies to me too.”

“Back in early 2015 at MSNBC I did a monologue that some of you may have seen pretty much begging Hillary Clinton not to run,” Ball continued.

“I said her elite ties were out of step with the party and the country, that if she ran she would likely be the nominee and would then go on to lose. No one censored me, I was allowed to say it, but afterwards the Clinton people called and complained to the MSNBC top brass and threatened not to provide any access during the upcoming campaign.

“I was told that I could still say what I wanted, but I would have to get any Clinton-related commentary cleared with the president of the network. Now being a human interested in maintaining my job, I’m certain I did less critical Clinton commentary after that than I maybe otherwise would have.”

“Every journalist at every outlet knows what they can say and do freely and what’s going to be a little stickier,” Ball said. “No one is ever going to have their anti-Bernie pieces called in to question since he stands outside the system. Their invites to the DC establishment world are not going to be revoked, and may even be heightened by negative Bernie coverage. “

“Back in the run up to 2016 I wanted to cover the negotiations on TPP more,” Ball disclosed a bit later.

“I was told though, in no uncertain terms that no one cared about trade and it didn’t rate. To be clear, this was not based on data but on gut feeling and gut feeling that had to influenced by one’s personal experience mixing and mingling with upscale denizens of Manhattan.

“I didn’t really push it; maybe they were right. Of course TPP and trade turned out to be one of the most central issues in the entire 2016 election. It turns out that people did, in fact, care. Now this class bias translates into bad coverage of candidates with working class appeal, and it translates to under-coverage of issues that are vitally important to the working class.”

Many journalists - either for self-serving reasons or due to genuine befuddlement - are completely misinterpreting Bernie's media critique. The person who explained it most clearly was Noam Chomsky in this 90-second answer to an equally confused BBC host. This will clear it up: pic.twitter.com/AgznEp3LB1

Ball’s co-host Saagar Enjati went on to describe his own similar experiences as a White House correspondent.

“This is something that a lot of people don’t understand,” Enjati said.

“It’s not necessarily that somebody tells you how to do your coverage, it’s that if you were to do your coverage that way, you would not be hired at that institution. So it’s like if you do not already fit within this framework, then the system is designed to not give you a voice.

“And if you necessarily did do that, all of the incentive structures around your pay, around your promotion, around your colleagues that are slapping you on the back, that would all disappear. So it’s a system of reinforcement, which makes it so that you wouldn’t go down that path in the first place.”

“I’ve definitely noticed this in the White House press corps, which is a massive bias to ask questions that make everybody else in the room happy, AKA Mueller questions,” Enjati continued.

“Guess what the American people don’t care about? Mueller. So when you ask a question–I’ve had this happen to me all the time. I would ask a question about North Korea, like, you know, war and nuclear weapons that affect billions.

“Or I would ask about the Supreme Court, the number one issue why Trump voters voted for President Trump, and I would get accused of toadying to the administration or not asking what Jim Acosta or whomever wanted me to ask. It’s like, you know, everybody plays to their peers, they don’t actually play to the people they’re supposed to cover, and that’s part of the problem.”

“Right, and again, it’s not necessarily intentional,” Ball added. “It’s that those are the people that you’re surrounded with, so there becomes a group-think. And look, you are aware of what you’re going to be rewarded for and what you’re going to be punished for, or not rewarded for, like that definitely plays in the mind, whether you want it to or not, that’s a reality.”

“Every time I took that message to ask Trump a question, I knew that my Twitter messages were going to blow up from MSNBC or Ken Dilanian or whomever for ‘toadying’ up to the administration, and it takes a lot to be able to withstand that,” Enjeti concluded.

As we just discussed the other day, Ken Dilanian is literally a known CIA asset. This is not a conspiracy theory, it’s a well-documented and historically undeniable fact, as shown in this Intercept article titled “The CIA’s Mop-Up Man”.

The testimony that Dilanian’s establishment sycophancy affects not just his own reporting but those of other reporters as well via strategically placed peer pressure is highly significant.

For obvious reasons these insider confessions are as rare as hen’s teeth, so we must absorb them, circulate them, and never forget them.

I’m still floored and fall-to-my-knees grateful to Ball and Enjati for putting this information out there for the sake of the common good. Our task is now to use the information they provided to help wake people up from the narrative control matrix.

Is the Amazon Surveillance Machine Secretly Infiltrating Police Departments?

Read

by Eta Onrish

Big Tech has come under fire quite consistently for privacy concerns and has even faced big fines for violations (which they can afford). It seems that public attention on this matter has forced them to start going underground, with secret back-end deals with the government at local levels to expand their surveillance capabilities.

If you haven’t heard, there is a very useful doorbell camera called Ring. Ring started out as a product called, Doorbot, on the Shark Tank TV show but was rejected.

The owners got immediate exposure and millions of dollars from investors after the show, changing the name from Doorbot to Ring. Fast forward five years, and Amazon decides to compete with Google’s friendly surveillance system called Nest, and buys Ring for A Billion Freaking Dollars.

Using Ring to expand a surveillance network

Ok, so what? It’s a very useful thing to be able to see who’s at the door and have a record of someone breaking into your home. The systems, in themselves, aren’t an issue. It’s when governments start to get involved and big money starts being made that conflicts of interest can lead to misuse and violations of privacy.

It’s these very expansions outside of the homeowner’s benefit that need scrutiny.

In addition to the actual doorbell surveillance camera itself, Ring/Amazon added a handy online app called, Neighbors, to use these systems to help reduce crime. According to Jamie Siminoff, Chief Inventor and Founder of Ring,

“At Ring, we come to work every day with the mission of reducing crime in neighborhoods. Over the past few years we have learned that, when neighbors, the Ring team and law enforcement all work together, we can create safer communities.

“Neighbors is meant to facilitate real-time communication between these groups, while maintaining neighbor privacy first and foremost. By bringing security to every neighbor with the free Neighbors app, communities can stay on top of crime and safety alerts as they happen.”

That sounds very good, doesn’t it? This may not seem all that much of an issue on the surface (if we ignore the obvious conflict of interest), but let’s dig deeper…

In addition to a system that allows people to monitor their homes, and then has expanded to help them monitor their neighborhoods, they’ve also developed a government-only backend portal to this system that they provide for free.

According to this article,

“Ring, Amazon’s home security company most known for its doorbell camera, has been quietly creating a massive private surveillance network. The company has formed partnerships with at least 225 law enforcement agencies, enticed cities to finance discounts on its cameras with taxpayer money, and worked with police to organize package theft sting operations in several U.S. cities.”

This portal not only gives the government backdoor access to the Neighbors app to directly contact users, they also have a map of all cameras in the area that they can access.

But it gets worse.

Using police departments to help expand the network

Ring is starting to leverage these backdoor agreements to require these agencies to help them expand their network. According to another article from someone who received private communications between Ring and government agencies, “Police are contractually required to …

“Engage the Lakeland community with outreach efforts on the platform to encourage adoption of the platform/app.”

To assist in that endeavor, Ring is coaching agencies, by way of an assigned Ring Partner Success Associate, on how to leverage social media and community outreach programs to expand their reach by,

“… provid[ing] templates and educational materials for police departments.”

Here is an example of one, obtained by an investigator/staff writer at motherboard:

and from obtained correspondence to that same police department,

“You are doing a great job interacting with them and that will be critical in increasing the opt-in rate.”

“The more users you have, the more useful the information you can collect,” the representative added.

But they also stipulate,

Ring requests to look at press releases and any messaging prior to distribution to ensure our company and our products and services are accurately represented.”

The agreement also requires Ring and the Lakeland Police to coordinate on all public communications regarding their partnership.

“The parties shall agree to a joint press release to be mutually agreed upon by the parties,”

Motherboard/Vice also found this is isn’t limited to Lakeland, stating it found similar requirements in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Frisco, Texas.

Ring also is telling the local agencies to create roles in their departments to facilitate the communication with itself and control the information to the public, presumably to help expand the network, with five created roles:

1. Partnership Point of Contact
• With Ring

2. Press/Media Coordinator
• to coordinate PR with Ring

3. Social Media Coordinator
• to coordinate the department’s social media with Ring

4. Investigative Coordinator
• the point of contact that they can work with to “ensure maximum participation and sharing of video.”

5. Community Relations Coordinator
• A person to oversee the team at community events

Now that may be understandable, but they’re also putting pressure on police departments to control the information the public receives about the program:

For nearly three weeks in June, the Boca Raton Police Department was engaged in a partnership with Ring that went publicly unreported. The delay in announcing the city’s deal with Ring occurred at the company’s request.

Emails show that Ring was interested in keeping the public’s attention focused on a separate subsidy deal it struck with the city designed, according to the city’s press release, to “incentivize the purchase of Ring Video Doorbells and Ring security devices.”

According to another Vice article,

A signed memorandum of understanding between Ring and the police department of Lakeland, Florida, and emails obtained via a public records request, show that Ring is using local police as a de facto advertising firm.

Police are contractually required to “Engage the Lakeland community with outreach efforts on the platform to encourage adoption of the platform/app.”

Not all agencies, however, are laying down as easily. According to Gizmodo:

In Boca Raton, however, city attorneys Thomas Collery and Joni Hamilton refused to accept the terms and managed to get them amended, noting, for example, that Ring’s conditions would run afoul of Florida’s public records laws.

The phrase “Unless otherwise required by law, including, but not limited to, public records laws” was added to the agreement Boca Raton ultimately signed. It was also altered to remove the requirement for a “joint press release,” with the city opting instead to give each party the right to approve the other’s individual statements.

At least THEY are requiring their expansion of the surveillance machine be legal. Of course, adopting systems such as this, and then manipulating public perceptions, starts this slippery slope.

According to Chris Gilliard, a professor of English at Macomb Community College who studies digital redlining and discriminatory practices enabled by data mining,

When really powerful companies, or police for that matter, are incentivized to find crime, they’re going to find it no matter what. It’ll ultimately shift the definition of what is a crime and lead to over-policing in some ways. Frankly, [it’s] the broken windows style that tends to harm marginalized communities more.”

Bypassing your rights

Keep in mind that this video footage that you’re recording for your own use can be taken by law enforcement via a warrant, but Ring/Amazon is also coaching the agencies on how to influence people to give up the information willingly. According to Vice,

emails from the police department of Bloomfield, NJ, which were also posted by Wired — show that Ring coaches police on how to obtain footage. The company provides cops with templates for requesting footage, which they do not need a court warrant to do.

Andrew Ferguson, a professor at the University of the District of Columbia School of Law,

“What people fundamentally misunderstand is that self-surveillance is potentially a form of government surveillance, because the information that you are collecting — you think to augment and improve your life — is one step away from being obtained by law enforcement to completely upend your life.”

According to an article on The Intercept, regarding a police-only video,

The video ends on an eerie note, adding that “in future versions we will also be enabling Ring’s smart search functionality that will allow for suspicious activity detection and person recognition.” What constitutes “suspicious activity” is anyone’s guess, as is how Ring will “detect” it.

Also according to the article, Matt Cagle, an attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California believes it. According to the article he says, it…

gives law enforcement “coercive power over customers” by virtue of its design. “Many people are not going to feel like they have a choice when law enforcement asks for access to their footage.”

Cagle goes on to say:

“Consent here is a smokescreen. Folks online consent to policies all the time without being meaningfully explained what is happening with our data, and the stakes are much higher here: Under guise of consent, this could invite needless surveillance of private lives.”

If you agree, there is something you can do about it. Fight for the Future is running a campaign specifically to stop this collusion. According to the petition:

Amazon is building a privately run, for-profit surveillance state — and they’re getting local police to market it for them in exchange for VIP access to Amazon’s on-demand surveillance system.

What do you think?

Does the alliance of the surveillance state and Big Tech concern you? Or, are you no longer shocked by these revelations? Do you think there is much we can do about it? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Oil Lobbyist Brag About Success in Criminalizing Pipeline Protests (Leaked Audio)

Read

by Jake Johnson

As a growing number of states move to pass laws that would criminalize pipeline protests and hit demonstrators with years in prison, an audio recording obtained by The Intercept showed a representative of a powerful oil and gas lobbying group bragging about the industry's success in crafting anti-protest legislation behind closed doors.

Speaking during a conference in Washington, D.C. in June, Derrick Morgan, senior vice president for federal and regulatory affairs at the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), touted "model legislation" that states across the nation have passed in recent months.

AFPM represents a number of major fossil fuel giants, including Chevron, Koch Industries, and ExxonMobil.

"We've seen a lot of success at the state level, particularly starting with Oklahoma in 2017," said Morgan, citing Dakota Access Pipeline protests as the motivation behind the aggressive lobbying effort. "We're up to nine states that have passed laws that are substantially close to the model policy that you have in your packet."

Big Oil is now using its political power to try and criminalize protests of oil & gas infrastructure.

"This legislation has potential to punish public participation and mischaracterize advocacy protected by the First Amendment."https://t.co/bmiHjONEhy

— Friends of the Earth (@foe_us) August 19, 2019

The audio recording comes just months after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law legislation that would punish anti-pipeline demonstrators with up to 10 years in prison, a move environmentalists condemned as a flagrant attack on free expression.

"Big Oil is hijacking our legislative system," Dallas Goldtooth of the Indigenous Environmental Network said after the Texas Senate passed the bill in May.

As The Intercept's Lee Fang reported Monday, the model legislation Morgan cited in his remarks "has been introduced in various forms in 22 states and passed in... Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota."

"The AFPM lobbyist also boasted that the template legislation has enjoyed bipartisan support," according to Fang.

"In Louisiana, Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards signed the version of the bill there, which is being challenged by the Center for Constitutional Rights. Even in Illinois, Morgan noted, 'We almost got that across the finish line in a very Democratic-dominated legislature.' The bill did not pass as it got pushed aside over time constraints at the end of the legislative session."

New Age is a Dream Religion of the "Elites"

Read

Throughout the ages, countless philosophers, scientists, and explorers of the mind have attempted to discover the properties and principles of an objective, “substantial reality”.

It is immediately apparent to any other sentient being’s perspective that we most likely live together in a single world of matter and physics. Certain principles of this “substantial reality” seem to be completely static for everyone under certain conditions, and work 100% of the time.

Examples of principles we know are gravity and thermodynamics. The ability of these principles and their effects to be demonstrated over and over, gives humanity faith in them to create freedom for everyone in the forms of airplanes, refrigerators, and cures to disease. We can already see the connection between true knowledge of principles and the creation of human freedom through technology in these examples.

Perspective vs Truth

Humans have a set of sensory organs that input a very small amount of information from our environment into our brain. This is why, each person is said to have a perspective, or a lens with which they are viewing reality.

The truth or the objective substantial reality can be depicted as a straight line which does not move. Our perspectives on the other hand are limited and usually based on belief, which causes them to vary wildly from the truth like a wave. The very best that we can do, is attempt to align our individual perspectives with the truth.

Requirements exist in reality. If you want something to be different than its default condition, requirement exists. To build a computer, you must first have all of the correct components and assemble them. To build a house, you must first clear the land, and build a strong foundation.

If what we are creating as humanity is continually the opposite of what we want, then logically we either do not know the requirements or they are being ignored by an extremely large majority of people. I think that ignorance of the truth is the main cause to the problems humanity has created for itself.

In its most accurate definition, the truth can be defined as “that which is”. It is everything that has happened in the past, and everything happening right now. The nature of our position in space time is that the truth cannot be changed. We can see the effects of our actions which have echoed off the principles of the universe into what we have created here.

The question is, is this what we want to create? What do you say that you want for the world and all the people in it? Most people say they want peace, health, and happiness for the world. However, in current human societies we are stuck in cycles of slavery, war, and genocide. We are creating the opposite of what we say we want.

Lies and Deception are the enemy of the Truth. They are put forward into the minds and hearts of the people of Earth by those who rage against what is. They are spoken, propagated and acted upon by those with a vested interest in keeping the understanding of the Truth from reaching the Consciousness of each individual.

Lies and deception are insidious, for once they have been believed and accepted by well-meaning individuals, these individuals, in their ignorance, become agents for the spread of these falsehoods. This is how lies and propaganda are spread from generation to generation.

A parent is indoctrinated into the lie, and then the parent indoctrinates their children, who in turn indoctrinate their children, and so on, down through the generations. The main function of these cultural lies is to leave a person not knowing anything about themselves or the world they live in so they unknowingly consent to become a slave.

Here are some of the core illusions the slave masters use to keep humanity ignorant of its true identity and therefore its true power:

Five senses / Materialism illusion

Many many people fall into this category of identifying with their experiences or their “stuff”. We are not what we can see, touch, taste, and hear, and we are not our possessions. You can spot someone who is suffering from materialistic identification from how they act when they lose something that is important to them (not usually people).

If you think that money and material wealth is the road to happiness, success or enlightenment, you have bought a bill of goods from men who have lied to you to keep you giving away your energy to purchase their crap.

Dogmatic Belief Systems

Religion is the main belief system that people readily identify as fooling people into believing lies. It’s easy for someone to gain enough knowledge of the truth to easily dispel the old astrotheological control cults of the Christians (sun), Islamic (moon), and Jewish (star) communities, but there are other religions that you may have missed.

Government as it currently exists is a belief system of slavery in which a group called “authority” makes commands and the public is under the obligation to obey those commands, or else get harassed, robbed, caged, or murdered.

Democracy is not a system to be hailed and spread throughout the globe. The forefathers knew that we should keep the republic they gave us, and they knew the damage democracy would do.

Democracy is nothing more than a system in which everyone is a slave and master of slaves. There is no true majority, everyone will have the taste of choosing to enforce their way through voting and the violence of the state, and having other’s ways enforced on them through the same voting box.

In this way, slavery is perfected.

As a democracy goes on, it’s final form shows a society where the most morally incorrect and therefore most harmful actions of theft and murder are legalized. The united states shows us this by legally allowing an oligarchy of criminals to control our currency, tax and enslave a nation, and use its military defense as a murderous offense. The belief in the legitimacy of government, is the belief in the legitimacy of slavery.

New Age religion is another popular belief system that is taking the place of the old astrotheological ones. I refer to new age as “new solipsism”. Solipsism is what you could possibly consider the very first lie of authority, that there is no truth, as you can never be sure that anything outside of yourself even exists.

Read & share: How Agents of the Illuminati Infiltrated the New Age Movement and Other Spiritual Paradigms

Solipsism’s definition from wikipedia is:

"from Latin solus, meaning 'alone', and ipse, meaning 'self')[1] is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist.”

With enough research, you can find that this religion has ancient roots, and has been used by slave masters in the past for a very specific reason. In short, the new age belief system is designed to remove the action oriented or masculine element from our consciousness. This religion states the lie that when you give attention to bad things, it causes more bad things to happen.

They say that the only way to attain a positive happy problem-free environment is to ignore the negative. Imagine an entire society of people who simply meditate and ignore the fact that you are putting them into covert concentration camps.

New age is a controllers dream religion, because the only thing that can stop them is people exposing their lies and misdeeds. If a majority of people simply ignore tyranny it gets its freedom and consent to grow and grow. The truth is, much like ignored cancer, anything that creates a problem only gets worse when its ignored.

Ego based identification

This barrier is a difficult one to get over, because it involves discovering that we are not what we think we are. People grow up learning to attach labels to themselves like human, engineer, caretaker, mom, hero and a billion other identities we can make up for ourselves.

As we grow, we become more knowledgeable of our own likes and dislikes, so these labels change as we change what we think about ourselves.

Culture can use this against you. There are ideas and sayings that are becoming very prevalent in our culture at the moment having mostly to do with animalizing human beings. You can see women wearing shorts that say “head of the pack”, or the new “furry” craze with people dressing up and acting like animals.

This all adds up to a single extremely deceptive phrase that has been used for a long time to keep humans at a very low frequency of ego identification. I’m sure you’ve even heard this phrase and have maybe even said it, many times. What is this ancient evil core idea that keeps people from realizing they are actually infinitely powerful supreme beings? It’s that we’re “Only Human”.

Left Brain Prison

Mind control is a largely undiscovered science by the masses. Using the two sides of the brain, a psychological controller is able to make one hemisphere dominant over the over, and therefore create a “tilted” worldview within that individual. “Left Brain Prison” refers to when a person is working mostly with the left hemisphere which corresponds with mostly logic and math.

David Icke says,

“The intellect, left to itself, is a prison of the mind. If you look around you at most of what we call 'society', it has been created by intellect. Not heart, not higher consciousness - intellect. The education system worships the intellect and seeks out through examinations the sharpest intellects to run the institutions of government, finance, business, science, education, media and military in the next generation.

“What do they all, or at least the vast majority, have in common? They are prisoners of the intellect, and that's why we have a society founded on, and created by, intellect - one of the lowest expressions of consciousness.”

I think an example of a highly intellectual yet not very intelligent person who is effected by the left brain prison is Stephen Hawkings. Like most hardcore left brain imbalanced people, Hawkings states that human free will is an illusion and the universe is simply a predestined dead mechanized clockwork.

In conclusion, the truth is perhaps the most important, and most powerful idea that currently exists for us to solve our problems. Dare I say that, aligning our perceptions with the truth may be the purpose to our entire existence. The key to busting out of this prison of deception we are all in, is to be very careful with our sources of information. Do not believe anyone when it comes anything.

Start to exercise your intuition, and try to believe and trust in yourself to test and determine what is true and what is false. Once you gain this ability to think critically on your own, most forms of mind control that effect most everyone will no longer work on you and you will be free to think outside the box to solve problems.

Keeping it simple, the standard way to gain true knowledge is to:

Create a theory.

Prove it false.

Ancient societies even understood how our reality is built on knowledge (or lack of) of the truth. They called this information the “Trivium” or “Quadrivium”. This basic information on how our reality is built has been hidden from the minds and educations of an extremely large majority of people in our societies today for the purpose of control. Masters over slaves in the past knew that knowledge of the truth made men unfit to be slaves.

This is not all they knew, mystics at the Delphi Oracle once inscribed that basically the only knowledge worth knowing is self knowledge:

"Heed these words, You who wish to probe the depths of nature: If you do not find within yourself that which you seek, neither will you find it outside. In you is hidden the treasure of treasures. Know Thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods."
