LET US SING OF THE OBAMACARE RELIGION!

LET US SING OF THE OBAMACARE RELIGION!

Many people swoon for Obamacare:

O profound surpassing beauty, surpassing justice.

O universal healthcare, merely the IDEA of it…a force so strong it sweeps away all objections like a storm from the heavens.

O notion of universal healing…undeniably good; therefore, the program to enact it must be good. It will work. It will signal deliverance from pain. The future will confirm that.

O because the IDEA is good, the noble essence will eventually shine through. All will be served in the unfolding.

O this is more than law. It is an expression of the collective soul of humanity, and therefore it will bear fruit.

And O those who oppose the Plan are straying from the righteous path. They are exiled from The Group Mind.

Amen.

Okay. There are millions of people who are convinced that a transforming Event is on the horizon. Its arrival will revolutionize life on planet Earth. The Change will be Good.

Possessed of that mindset, these people search for clues and signs. In Obamacare, they find one of those clues. It’s a little piece of heaven. It embodies faith, hope, and charity. It speaks to our better nature.

The facts don’t matter. How Obamacare will actually play out doesn’t matter. It only matters that these millions of acolytes can hear music and choirs.

Ever since an unknown Obama took the stage at the 2004 Democratic Convention, to deliver the keynote address, he has been imparting religious lingo, intoning religious rhythm, embodying the persona of the prophet and the healer of wounds.

That has been his shtick. His healthcare plan was and is a sub-category of his religious approach to “the downtrodden of the world.”

Who cares about the unpleasant fact that the US medical system kills 225,000 people a year? Who cares that the medical system is the third leading cause of death in America? Who cares that Obama’s lambs are being led to the slaughter?

This is RELIGION, which rises above such nasty inconveniences.

This is HOPE, TRANSFORMATION, and RESURRECTION in the doctor’s office.

Finally, “Americans who really care” have something to be proud of.

That’s the important thing, isn’t it? Why quibble about the difference between hope and false hope? Why worry about who is selling and who is being sold out?

I don’t know whether, in the fullness of time, pharmaceutical companies will erect a statue to Obama, but they certainly should, because their bottom-line abundance has just multiplied like sheaves of wheat.

Staying with agricultural metaphor for a moment, the dumbed-down chickens of our educational system are coming home to roost. Vapid cliches and stereotypes are clucking gloriously in the sun:

TREATMENT NEEDS TO BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL.

NO ONE SHOULD BE DENIED HEALING.

JUSTICE MUST RING OUT ACROSS THE LAND.

EVERYONE HAS A SACRED RIGHT TO A DOCTOR.

These are chapter headings in the new bible of medicine.

And people respond! They respond! They don’t comprehend the devastating effects of the medical cartel on human life, and they don’t want to comprehend them. The truth would disturb their reverie and their joy.

It would interrupt the organ music and the stately progression of adverse drug effects all the way to the funeral and the grave.

Leave us alone! We want hope and medicine! We want our fairy tales!

On a final practical note, because I don’t care to devote a whole article to the subject, the little shell game the US Supreme Court played the other day should make judges across the land want to burn their robes.

If people won’t buy Obamacare, they pay a penalty. But no, it’s not a penalty, because that would be unconstitutional. So let’s call it a tax. Let’s say you can now be taxed for NOT buying something.

Fom this day forward, the government can come after you on a brand-new basis: because you didn’t make a purchase you should have made.

“Sir, are you telling me you don’t want this Chevy Volt? It runs like a dream, although the dream can rapidly turn into a nightmare. But we all need to praise the Volt. It will add to the car’s sense of self-esteem, and as we all know, self-esteem builds performance. Making the Volt run well, without horrible problems, DEPENDS on the amount of praise we can heap on it. Therefore, if you don’t buy it, we will tax you. Sir, we’re not just talking about the sticker price, we’re talking about avoiding the “non-purchase tax” on top of the sticker price. You really need to think this through. Pay the tax and get nothing, or pay the sticker price and get the car. It’s up to you. If you walk out of the showroom without the Volt, when you get home an IRS agent will be waiting on your doorstep.”

I’m sure this has old-time religious parallels.

Donate generously to the Roman Church or go to Hell is one I can think of off the top of my head.

And if we want to extend the comparison to torture (bringing in The Inquisition), we have examples. I give you one now. It is not an isolated case. It is not something that only rarely happens in the US medical system. It is quite instructive, vis-a-vis medical destruction.

Take the case described by psychiatrist, Peter Breggin, in his landmark 1991 classic, “Toxic Psychiatry: Why Therapy, Empathy and Love Must Replace the Drugs, Electroshock, and Biochemical Theories of the ‘New Psychiatry'”. A young patient, Roberta, had been treated with a host of so-called major tranquilizers [AKA neuroleptics]. Peer-reviewed published studies support the use of these drugs: Haldol, Mellaril, Prolixin, Thorazine.

Breggin writes: “Roberta was a college student, getting good grades, mostly A’s, when she first became depressed and sought psychiatric help at the recommendation of her university health service. She was eighteen at the time, bright and well motivated, and a very good candidate for psychotherapy. She was going through a sophomore-year identity crisis about dating men, succeeding in school, and planning a future. She could have thrived with a sensitive therapist who had an awareness of women’s issues.

“Instead of moral support and insight, her doctor gave her Haldol. Over the next four years, six different physicians watched her deteriorate neurologically without warning her or her family about tardive dyskinesia [motor brain damage] and without making the [tardive dyskinesia] diagnosis, even when she was overtly twitching in her arms and legs. Instead they switched her from one neuroleptic to another, including Navane, Stelazine, and Thorazine. Eventually a rehabilitation therapist became concerned enough to send her to a general physician, who made the diagnosis [of medical drug damage]. By then she was permanently physically disabled, with a loss of 30 percent of her IQ.

“…my medical evaluation described her condition: Roberta is a grossly disfigured and severely disabled human being who can no longer control her body. She suffers from extreme writhing movements and spasms involving the face, head, neck, shoulders, limbs, extremities, torso, and back—nearly the entire body. She had difficulty standing, sitting, or lying down, and the difficulties worsen as she attempts to carry out voluntary actions. At one point she could not prevent her head from banging against nearby furniture. She could hold a cup to her lip only with great difficulty. Even her respiratory movements are seriously afflicted so that her speech comes out in grunts and gasps amid spasms of her respiratory muscles…Roberta may improve somewhat after several months off the neuroleptic drugs, but she will never again have anything remotely resembling a normal life.”

Oh, this could never happen. Oh, this is impossible.

Not only did it happen, it happens far more frequently than we imagine. The press does not cover it. The press is the PR arm of the secular medical religion, and Obamacare, bringing millions more people into the fold, is the new staircase into 225,000 deaths a year, 2.25 million deaths per decade, two million severe adverse drug reactions per year, 20 million severe reactions per decade.

But those figures illuminate the old church. The new church will be far bigger and therefore far more punishing.

OBAMACARE 2: THE FUTURE IS PARADISE

OBAMACARE II: THE FUTURE IS PARADISE

by Jon Rappoport

June 29, 2012

www.nomorefakenews.com

When you’re a professional gardener, you don’t just throw expensive plants into the ground, you prepare the soil.

If I’ve been observing soil-preparation in the field of social and political engineering, that doesn’t make me a conspiracy advocate; it merely means I’ve been watching professionals at work.

For a long time.

These pros have been stimulating and creating trends that dovetail with Obamacare and will carry this law into the future in certain unctuous and nasty ways.

For example, the growing emphasis on preventing illness is a trend. I’m not taking about sensible natural-health practitioners, who have it right. No, I’m talking about government, federal government getting into the act, as if it is a caring Daddy who wants nothing more than to watch over us and make sure we’re on the correct path.

When a government official tells me to cut down on sugar or stop drinking coffee, I reach for my handy-dandy flamethrower, just in case. Because I know something about government’s track record.

Get it? If Al Capone came to my house and said, “Look, you’ve got to eat your broccoli,” I would be justified in wondering what Big Al really had in mind. Broccoli might be code for, “Sell me your warehouse so I can store bootleg whiskey in it or my boys will kill you.”

In the same way, I wonder what the federal government has in mind when they send out caring and sharing officials to give America public health advice.

Well, here is what’s actually going on, just in case you care. The government has been on a long ramp-up to national health insurance, which means it has been planning to pay for everyone’s medical treatment for along time. Well, actually, the “paying” is all coming from tax dollars and invented money that Goldman Sachs generously conjures, but we’ll ignore that for now.

So the government has been building up to stating the obvious, which is: WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT. WE WILL BE PAYING FOR EVERYBODY’S MEDICAL TREATMENT, FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE.

THEREFORE, WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DECIDE HOW YOU LIVE AND BEHAVE, BECAUSE IT’S VERY EXPENSIVE TO TREAT YOU FOR DISEASES AFTER THE FACT.

WE INTEND TO RUN YOUR LIFE SO YOU WON’T GET SO SICK SO FAST. WE INTEND TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY. DON’T SCREW WITH US.

WE WILL TELL YOU WHAT HEALTH MEANS, AND WE WILL TELL YOU HOW TO LIVE HEALTHY—WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO, SO WE CAN AVOID PAYING FOR YOUR DISEASES.

DON’T EAT CAKE. DON’T EAT MORE THAN 1200 CALORIES A DAY. WE CAN TRACK IT.

DON’T EAT THAT CHOCOLATE BAR. IT HAS CAFFEINE IN IT. DON’T SMOKE. WE CAN TELL IF YOU’RE SMOKING, EVEN IF YOU’RE GRABBING A FEW PUFFS IN THAT LITTLE LAUNDRY ROOM IN YOUR CELLAR.

IF YOU BREAK OUR RULES FOR GOOD HEALTH, WE CAN KICK YOU OUT OF THE HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN, AND THEN WHERE WILL YOU BE? YOU’LL BE IN THE OUTER DARKNESS, BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE IS IN THE PLAN. YOU’LL BE A PARIAH. YOU’LL END UP HAVING TO DO BRAIN SURGERY ON YOURSELF. YOU’LL BE A CERTIFIED CRIMINAL.

YOU DIDN’T EXERCISE LAST WEEK. INSTEAD YOU OPTED FOR THE SAUNA AND MASTURBATION. AT YOUR AGE, YOU SHOULDN’T BE INDUCING ORGASMS. IT COULD IMPACT YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.

“Oh no,” you say. “Oh no, no, no. no! That’s absurd. That’s ridiculous. It would never ever happen, no matter how far you’re predicting the future. The government could never become so invasive. Well, now that I think of it, the government COULD decide to mandate chemotherapy for all cancers, that’s possible. They could kill me with poisonous chemo, but they would never tell me I can’t eat a candy bar.”

I’m not talking about tomorrow or next week or next month. I’m talking about up the line, as Obamacare begins to spread its wings and become the program IT REALLY IS.

The Matrix Revealed

Here’s a twist that might make you think twice. There are a whole lot of people out there who would LOVE to have the government run a mandatory exercise program for them, because they believe they don’t have the will power to do it on their own every day. Yes, that’s right.

“Hi, I’m Beverly, from the Department of Homeland Security. We’re turning up the volume on your TV set a little, for the hearing-impaired. Now today we’re going to begin with those awful squat thrusts. But don’t worry. You only have to do four. I’m happy to announce that the median weight-loss for the nation, last month, was a whole ounce! That’s called progress. If you dream it, you can do it. Let’s begin.”

And 300,000 people gladly join in. They post video testimonials on YouTube detailing their triumphs. Then, later, it’s 800,000 people. And so on.

Because if you get sick, the government has to pay for your treatment, and as it turns out, the administration of Obamacare is so fraught with screw-ups and lies and theft, the program is costing 80 times more than predicted, and the debt being incurred is way past insupportable.

Which was the whole idea from the beginning.

Americans have a real taste for corruption, and Obamacare is like a hand-engraved invitation to criminals inside and outside of government. “Hi. Steal us blind.”

People will be saying to each other, “You know, the regulation about our kids wearing helmets to school? It’s really a good thing. I like it. Last month’s CDC report showed ambulatory accidental head injuries dropped by .026 percent. I can’t remember what that means. If it’s a fraction, what fraction is it? Anyway, it’s progress.”

It’s operant conditioning.

Exit From the Matrix

Now here’s another trend that’s been in the works for some time. Mental disorders. The trend is all about public acceptance of these invented constructs. Yes, Hillary showed the way on that one. This bloated tool of the Psychiatric State has been playing with her own little version of Soviet Gulag Nicey-Nice. She demanded that we remove, what was it, The Stigma attached to the diagnosis of a mental disease because, after all, it’s no different from having diabetes. Right. We must become accepting, caring, and sharing people, just like Hillary is. That wonderful woman who would have done a better job as president, if only her supporters could have bolted her past Obama. If only Oprah hadn’t told America to go for Barack. Oh well.

As I’ve demonstrated (and I mean DEMONSTRATED) several times in these pages, there is no such thing as a discrete mental disorder. People suffer, they have pain, they have problems and troubles and weaknesses and so on, but the chopping up of behavior and thought and emotion into labeled disorders has the scientific basis of asserting that a rocket ship on the edge of Andromeda, staffed by aliens, is using two-ply paper in their bathrooms. To put it another way, it’s scientific bullshit of the highest order.

But it’s a great way to put populations into pigeonholes, dose them with dangerously toxic drugs, and convince them to think of themselves as living lives within an official spectrum of disability. It works. It makes victims. Victims who use their fictional disorder-labels as badges of honor. Which is perfect mind control of a certain kind.

Now, when you have government regulating behavior to make people “live healthy lives”—just another form of control and conditioning—and when you have, at your disposal, a whole arsenal of mental-disorder labels, you have a highly workable mixture.

“Mr. Jones, you’re just not living a healthy life. As your doctor, I can see that. And video surveillance reports also indicate the same thing. You’re frankly costing the Health Plan money, money that could be spent helping people who are too far gone, who are bed-ridden. You’re endangering the whole herd by your actions. I see you’ve had several warnings, and it’s obvious to me you’re suffering from Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Category Four, Resistance to Authority in the Area of Optimum Living. I’m entering that diagnosis in your records, and I’m giving you a prescription for Zosterol. Since the drug induces fatigue, disorientation, and spotty amnesia, I’m also issuing an order against operating a motor vehicle. From now on, you’ll have to commute to work on the bus. I advise bringing an i-Phone 24 with you every morning. It’s automatically keyed to local police for rapid 9/11 response. Whatever you do, don’t take a book with you on the bus. Studies show people reading books are subject to random attacks at an eight-percent rate above average.”

The doctor goes on to tell Mr. Jones that acceptance of his psychiatric condition could open doors to a whole new life for him. Once Jones realizes he has a disorder, he’s half-way home. And guess what? There’s no stigma! Everybody has some disorder or another. Everybody is in the same boat.

You’re walking down the street and your i-Phone (and the phones of 2,345,896 other other people) sends you a blast of high-irritant sound waves. You look at the screen. A talking head says, “You’re being contacted because your vaccination booster for Hepatitis G is due. You are to report to your Health Plan Clinic within two days for a shot. We advise arriving shortly before dawn. The lines will be long.”

If you don’t report, an entry will be made in your file. Your universal medical ID package will reflect “an incident of absence.” By regulation, this means your government allocation of six milligrams of Vitamin C a day will be cut to four.

When I say “future,” I mean, yes, somewhere out there in the unspecified distance, but I also mean the playing out of domino consequences already implied in the Obamacare law just upheld by the US Supreme Court.

We’re on that road.

It’s a toxic road, and when it becomes mandatory, there will be hell to pay.

For example, here’s one little crime that’s occurring now, before our eyes. It’s just a hint of what’s to come:

358,000 BABIES OPEN TO DAMAGE BY ACID REFLUX DRUG

Love your baby, love your doctor.

Reuters (June 18) is reporting that, even though the acid-reflex drug Prevacid is not recommended for infants under one year of age, and even though there are no studies that show benefit for the drug in babies that young, US doctors targeted these infants for 358,000 prescriptions of Prevacid in 2010.

Dr. Eric Hassall, a pediatric gastroenterologist at the California Medical Center, told Reuters that Prevacid, by blocking stomach acid in these babies, increases the risk of pneumonia and stomach infections.

Doctors have gone off the reservation. They are engaging in wildcat practices, and there is no law-enforcement action to curtail their actions. Why? Because a doctor is permitted to “use judgment” in writing drug scripts.

Common sense (for any normal non-medical person) would dictate avoiding the chance of causing pneumonia or stomach infection in a baby under a year old. But doctors aren’t normal. Frankly, they’re drug dealers. They think like drug dealers who actually believe in their product. That makes them doubly dangerous.

Lansoprazole is the generic term for Prevacid, and is sold around the world under two dozen different trade names.

The practice of prescribing drugs for “off-label” uses, unsupported by any sort of science, is widespread. More importantly, the medical cartel is determined to initiate very young children into the world of toxic drug treatment and keep them there. In Australia, children as young as three are now being screened for “mental illnesses.” That means dosing with highly dangerous medications like Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil, and even more destructive drugs in the class of so-called major tranquilizers.

A lifetime of suffering awaits countless numbers of children who are corralled into the twilight zone of medical-drug effects.

Now that Obamacare has been upheld by the Supreme Court, the US Dept. of Health and Human Services will surge forward in its appointed task of assembling a list of all official diseases and mental disorders. American parents can look forward to the inclusion of more than 300 of these mental disorders, any of which can be diagnostically imposed on their children, all of which lead to drugging with toxic compounds.

Pharmaceutical profits will soar, government control over children will tighten, doctors will continue to write prescriptions in ever-increasing numbers, the FDA will turn a blind eye, and families will be left to pick up the pieces.

This is a new chapter in legal chemical warfare against the citizenry.

Prevacid? Babies? Pneumonia? Stomach infections? That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

In the march along this heinous road, the first step of which is Obamacare, the medical cartel will have free rein. It will become another government, with the full powers of government.

When freedom of choice about health is removed, when yes or no is a thing of the past, your children and grandchildren will live in a tight net. They will probably not remember you as the passive guardians who were derelict in your duty, because they will not have the time to remember. They will be too busy dealing with the Medical State and its legalized ubiquitous operations targeting them.

But: “WAH WAH WAH, I WANT MY OBAMACARE! I WANT IT NOW! IT’S MEDICAL, AND MEDICAL ANYTHING IS GOOD! I WANT MY DOCTOR! I WANT MORE TREATMENT AND MORE RESEARCH! WAH WAH WAH! DIAGNOSE ME! TREAT ME! LABEL ME! GIVE ME DRUGS!

“GIVE ME OBAMACARE AND I’LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT!”

Yes, exactly.

And what they want is everything you’ve got. Mind, body, and soul.

Welcome to paradise. First door on the left. Take off your clothes and put on the gown. The doctor will be with you in a little while.

Don’t worry. Pay no attention to the fools who are warning you to stay outside the gates of Utopia. They’re mentally ill. You’re with us now. We care. We love all our patients. You’re in the system. You’re safe. It’s a dark world out there, but you’re here, in the light. You won’t feel a thing.

THE HIVE, COLLECTIVISM, AND DELUSION IN THE MATRIX

 

THE HIVE, COLLECTIVISM, ENDLESS NEED, AND THE BIG CON

by Jon Rappoport

June 29, 2012

www.nomorefakenews.com

 

(First, the article I just sent out by mass email to my list, HOW MEDICAL CRIMINALS FAKE MEDICAL REALITY EVERY DAY, was cut off half-way through, in transmission. I have no idea why. It’s there in full, from the same file, at my blog at nomorefakenews.com. So you can go there and read the rest.)

 

Okay. Here we go.

 

When NEED becomes the centerpiece of policy, you soon discover it is endless. That’s Real Politics 101.

 

Endless need slowly eats up everybody. If it isn’t stopped it becomes a fungus sporting a banner of humanitarianism.

 

People who don’t grasp that have no business trying to clarify politics. They should play checkers or golf or go into psychiatry.

 

Endless need creates a hive and a hive-consciousness. Surprising numbers of people like this. They want to live and think in a hive. They want to take their strength from the hive.

 

That is Collectivism on every level of life and experience and feeling.

 

The kicker is, this hive is always constructed by those who live outside it. Yes. The “leaders” who live outside it use the hive for their own ends. They care about the hive in the same way the moon cares about the New York Times. The people behind the curtain who created the hive fill it with platitudes, and these platitudes are gobbled up by the hive members like gifts from heaven. The hive is a religion and its followers worship it as the highest form of human experience, consciousness, love, and thought.

 

As time passes, the most ridiculous “fulfillments of need” are considered wonderful by the hive members. If a man who can’t see needs an elephant to lead him into a restaurant, the hive politicians will jump to it and pass a law requiring every roadside cafe to keep a ton of elephant food and four paid elephant-shit sweepers on board at all times, just in case.

 

And this is considered progress. For the collective, the whole, the All.

 

Hive members ARE EXPECTED TO BE DISABLED. It’s a requirement. The disability can come in many forms, not the least of which is “being human,” a condition celebrated as a death sentence in slow motion. Artists are expected to do their part in presenting images of humans as basically hopeless. Heroes are derided as cartoons.

 

Hive members share. If one or two members somehow rise to a level of prosperity that exceeds the norm, they must give away their excess to the rest, plus penalties. And that rule is, in many forms, enacted into laws backed up by force. This is the paradise of the Collective.

 

People are expected to be Nice, Nice, Nice, all the time, unless one of their members cracks through the ceiling of the Norm. Then the teeth are bared and the long knives come out.

 

The most complex operation a hive member undertakes during his life is the lowering of his own intelligence. He must do this. He must become a glazed apple. He must be able to grasp THOUGHT in very small pieces and BELIEVE he is seeing the whole picture.

 

Meanwhile, the men behind the curtain are manipulating the hive and extracting from it all the honey they can.

 

If hive members become aware of these men, they are duty-bound to complain and whine and never take action to leave the hive. They must stay and weep. They must stay and grumble.

 

If, by chance, members occasionally grab hold of a new idea, they must pursue it as if it is a new religion, a new revelation descended from the skies. That way, they will remain, at the core, passive receivers.

 

Most importantly, the hive members must NEVER see an externally imposed act of great kindness as a fake, a con, a gimmick, a ruse, a piece of fascism wrapped in lies. No, no, no, no. That is treason. That is a sign of a mental disorder.

 

Be simple like a child. When a gift is given, rejoice.

 

Welcome to Obamacare.

 

Welcome to the hive.

How medical criminals are faking medical science every day

by Jon Rappoport

June 28, 2012

www.nomorefakenews.com

Before we jump in, I want to announce I’ll be making a one-hour audio presentation tomorrow, Friday, at 7PM Eastern Time, on the naturalnews.com 3-day Healing Summit. Click here for details. Mike Adams has a whole lineup of audio presenters rolling on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It’s free.

In recent articles, I’ve revealed a smoking sizzling gun located on the FDA’s own web site (for all articles on this breaking story click here).

From the startpage.com search engine, type in “FDA Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions” and you’ll find the page. The FDA is completely aware their approved medical drugs are killing 100,000 Americans a year. THAT’S what’s on that page.

How can all those dangerous drugs the FDA certifies as safe move through the pipeline of approval and get to the public?

Yes, we all know that some doctors who sit on FDA panels have financial ties to the very companies whose drugs they are okaying. But the story goes much deeper than that.

Drug companies run clinical trials of new drugs on humans before FDA approval can occur. And those clinical trials are written up and published in medical journals.

Now, if 100,000 Americans are dying every year from the effects of drugs the FDA says are safe, the FDA is looking at published studies that are…what? The studies claim drug after drug is safe. But the drugs kill. Paradox. Contradiction. Conclusion? The published studies are fraudulent. Not just a few studies. Hundreds and thousands of them. The drug companies are providing studies that are outright criminal lies.

That’s what we have here. Since the FDA knows the drugs they approve as safe are killing 100,000 Americans every year, like clockwork, the FDA ALSO KNOWS THOUSANDS OF SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHED STUDIES ARE LIES. The FDA knows that huge numbers of studies on drug safety are faked. Faked studies are a crime. It’s called fraud. And when the fraud leads to the deaths of people taking a drug, that’s a lot worse than fraud.

The FDA knows the studies are faked, BUT THEY DON’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY LET IT RIDE. That makes them an accomplice to the ongoing crime.

In a legitimate honest courtroom, if one existed, I would present that case against the FDA every day of the week and I would win.

Should we tread daintily when we know the federal agency responsible for drug safety is allowing 100,000 people to die every year? This is murder. It’s not really negligent homicide, not when it keeps happening. It’s murder. It’s on the order of a Nazi war crime.

Try this image: you are a gatekeeper. Your job, on the first day of every year, is to unlock the gate and leave it open, so people can pass through. But you know that, when you open the gate, 100,000 people who pass through will die in the following year. Yet, every January 1, you keep opening the gate.

That’s what the FDA is. That particular gatekeeper.

Case closed.

power outside the matrix

But there is further evidence that huge numbers of published studies of drugs are fraudulent. We actually have statements from medical insiders. That’s right. For example, here is one, and it comes from a devastating source, a woman who edited the most famous medical journal in the world:

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.”

Marcia Angell, MD, “Drug Companies and Doctors: A story of corruption.” NY Review of Books, Jan. 15, 2009.

What do doctors rely on? What do medical schools rely on? What do medical journals and mainstream medical reporters and drug companies and the FDA rely on?

The sanctity of published clinical trials of drugs. These trials determine whether the drugs are safe and effective. The drugs are tested on human volunteers. The results are tabulated. The trials are described in papers that are printed by medical journals.

This is science. This is rationality. This is the rock. Without these studies, the whole field of medical research would fall apart in utter chaos.

Upon this rock, and hence through media, the public becomes aware of the latest breakthrough, the newest medicine. Through doctors in their offices, the public finds out what drugs they should take—and their doctors know because their doctors have read the published studies in the medical journals, the studies that describe the clinical drug trials. Or if the doctors haven’t actually read the reports, they’ve been told about them.

It all goes back to this rock.

And when mainstream medical advocates attack so-called alternative or natural health, they mention that their own sacred profession is based on real science, on studies, on clinical trials.

One doctor told me, “The published peer-reviewed studies are what keep us from going back to the Stone Age.”

He smiled. He was confident. He was sure of himself. He had science on his side. And he was dead wrong. The science is a sham, it’s in tatters, it’s broken, crushed, smashed.

Here is more evidence. I quote an article in the NY Review of Books (May 12, 2011) by Helen Epstein, “Flu Warning: Beware the Drug Companies.”

“Six years ago, John Ioannidis, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Ioannina School of Medicine in Greece, found that nearly half of published articles in scientific journals contained findings that were false.”

Here’s another quote from the same article:

“Last year, GlaxoSmithKline’s diabetes drug Avandia was linked to thousands of heart attacks, and earlier in the decade, the company’s antidepressant Paxil was discovered to exacerbate the risk of suicide in young people. Merck’s painkiller Vioxx was also linked to thousands of heart disease deaths. In each case, the scientific literature gave little hint of these dangers.”

And here is yet another statement from Marcia Angell, former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine:

“A review of seventy-four clinical trials of antidepressants, for example, found that thirty-seven of thirty-eight positive studies were published. But of the thirty-six negative studies, thirty-three were either not published or published in a form that conveyed a positive outcome.”

It turns out that the source of the informational pipeline that feeds the entire perception of pharmaceutical medicine is a rank fraud.

Doctors say: “We have the clinical trials of studies on drugs and they are published in top-rank journals. We are the epitome of science.”

Yes, false science. Riddled from top to bottom with lies.

Perhaps this will help the next time a friend, pretending he actually knows anything, tells you pharmaceutical medicine is a resounding success.

If you need more, cite Dr. Barbara Starfield’s famous study, “Is US health really the best in the world?” Journal of the American Medical Association, July 26, 2000. Starfield concludes that 225,000 people are killed by the medical system in the US every year—106,000 by FDA-approved medicines. That latter figure works out to over a MILLION deaths per decade.

The Matrix Revealed

A final note: The august editors of medical journals have a game they can play. Suppose a drug company has just finished writing up the results of a clinical drug trial and has submitted the piece to a journal for publication. The editor knows the company carried out a half-dozen other such trials on the same drug…and they didn’t look good. The drug caused wild fluctuations in blood pressure and blood sugar. There were heart attacks. Strokes. But this ONE study, the one submitted for publication, looks very positive. The editor knows if he prints it and forgets about “ethics,” the drug company will order re-prints of the piece from him and distribute them to doctors all over the world, and to reporters, professors, government officials. The drug company will order and pay for these re-prints; the medical journal can make $700,000 from publishing THAT ONE STUDY. In one hand, the editor sees: I won’t publish it=no money. In the other hand, he sees: I’ll publish it=$700,000. What to do?

As a reporter investigating deep medical fraud and crime for 30 years, I’ve spoken to people throughout the medical system. They all cling to the idea that published studies are the final and ultimate rationalization for their professional existence.

Well, the system has crashed. It’s broken up into pieces. And yet these professionals move on, as if everything is normal. It’s an illustration that consensus reality about science can be stronger than legitimate science itself. The blinders are firmly in place. March ahead. Pretend the truth is on your side. Salute high ideals. Fake it all the way. While huge numbers of people die.

The devastating truth behind Obamacare

by Jon Rappoport

June 28, 2012

(To join our email list, click here.)

I want my Obamacare! I want my Obamacare!

Well, you’ve got it. The US Supreme Court just upheld it by calling the individual mandate a tax.

Those who shout victory to the rooftops have no idea what’s in store for them. No idea at all.

It’s vital to look at the real effects of this sinister plan. It’s all about the effects of mainstream medicine. That’s what the sold-out press is refusing to examine.

Several months ago, guest-hosting The Alex Jones Radio Show, I discussed the case of a young Michigan boy — Jacob Stieler, whose parents had been taken to court three times to force them to submit their child to intensely toxic chemo treatments—despite these facts:

The boy’s latest scans revealed no sign of cancer; the drugs that would be forced on him can cause cancer; the drugs have not been approved to treat children.

And I warned: this is what waits for you and your children, up the line, if the Supreme Court allows Obamacare to stand as law.

The “share and care” humanitarian mask will be peeled away. The US Dept. of Health and Human Services will create, as ordered, a complete list of approved treatments for every disease-label under the sun. And everyone in the insurance plan (everyone in America) will be forced to take what the doctor tells them to take.

For a bonus, unapproved treatments will be banned. People and practitioners who try to use alternative treatments will find themselves in trouble.

This is the hidden agenda of Obamacare. This is what it will morph into in the future—unless it is repealed by the Congress.

I’m not dreaming or fantasizing. I’ve been following and reporting on the medical cartel for 30 years, and I know the mindset of these people, these doctors, these bureaucrats, these pharmaceutical string-pullers behind the scenes. Obamacare is right up their alley. It’s about control, so it’s an answer to their prayers.

So what do we know about their mainstream medicine, the hospital-based drug-addled modern version?

On July 26, 2000, the Journal of theAmerican Medical Association published a landmark paper by Dr. Barbara Starfield (Johns Hopkins School of Public Health), “Is US health really the best in the world?” In it, Starfield revealed what many people inside the medical establishment already knew: every year, like clockwork, the medical system was killing huge numbers of people.

Each year in the US, as Dr. Starfield reported, there are:

12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgeries;

7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals;

20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals;

80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals;

106,000 deaths from FDA-approved correctly prescribed medicines.

The total of medically-caused deaths in the US every year is 225,000.

This makes the medical system the third leading cause of death in America, behind heart disease and cancer.

In the wake of Starfield’s devastating report, other facts came to light: 2.1 million people in America, every year, are hospitalized as a result of reactions to FDA-approved medicines. Annually, 36 million serious adverse reactions to those drugs occur.

So, inclusive health coverage for many more Americans under the Obama Plan means these horrendous figures will rise.

This is the dirty secret.

Obama and his allies are promoting a medical system that is the third leading cause of death in America. It’s that stark and it’s that simple.

The Obama Plan involves appointing an “expert panel” to decide what treatments Americans should be given for what diseases, under the new regime.

Only a certified idiot would assume that, over time, alternative non-mainstream therapies would survive such an ongoing vetting. Hope may spring eternal, but common sense makes it easy to grasp the realities on the ground.

In the long run, alternative therapies will be edged out. Those that remain will be permitted for a narrow range of conditions, or as adjuncts to standard drug treatments and surgery.

Chiropractors and acupuncturists, who are temporarily basking in the notion that Obama “really cares,” are in for a very rude awakening. Their careers and practices will be significantly reduced. Not today, not tomorrow, but it will happen.

Doctors, under the Plan, will be telling patients they may not take nutritional supplements while in treatment. This will assume the status of an irreversible edict. In many cases, “while in treatment” will mean years.

What happens to a person, conscripted into the mandated Insurance Plan, who is told by his doctor that he should/must receive a vaccine? Suppose this person says no? What are the consequences? Will he then be labeled a defector? What penalties will he suffer?

Does a diagnosis of cancer imply a patient must submit to chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery? Can these treatments be forced upon him?

Perhaps, in the early days of the Plan, nothing untoward will happen. But then, as time passes, and the system assumes tighter and tighter controls, the hand of government will close around the recalcitrant patient’s neck.

“Take this vaccine. Take this chemo drug. If you don’t, you’re out of the system, and that makes you a criminal, because everyone has to be in the system.”

Doctors, who are an integral part of the Plan, will surely be punished if they give unapproved (alternative) treatments to patients.

And in order to make the Plan operate on a day-to-day basis, the records and bookkeeping data of every health-care practitioner in America will eventually be tracked on government computer networks.

Every person in America will have a traceable and trackable medical ID package. Government-issued. There is no way around it. The monitoring apparatus can’t work without it.

Orwellian consequences lie up the road in the field of psychiatric practice. In case you hadn’t noticed, the invention of “disorders” by committee is the preferred method for “discovering” more and more mental illnesses.

Yet, the science is completely fraudulent. For evidence, consult the many works of psychiatrist Peter Breggin, who has done more than any other person to expose the guts of his own profession. (www.breggin.com) Breggin establishes that mental disorders are not authoritatively diagnosed by a chemical or biological test. Conclusive tests do not exist. And worse, in this undefined and arbitrary territory, the drugs that follow diagnoses are killers: for example, 300,000 cases of motor brain damage, as a result of the administration of major tranquilizers.

Under the Obama Plan, you can bet your bottom dollar that psychiatric care will eventually become mandatory. A patient suddenly diagnosed with clinical depression or bipolar disease will be told he must take the drugs—and suffer their adverse effects.

Very young children will be given more and more debilitating and dangerous brain drugs.

Under the Obama Plan, it will be very convenient to declare new pandemics every few seasons, because these phony non-epidemics provide an opportunity to herd the sheep into clinics and remind them who is running the show. Go here, take this vaccine; go there, take that drug; the epidemic is endangering the herd, and you must help your brothers and sisters.

These are the figures on the last several “epidemics.” They are not yearly; they are grand totals, to date; global totals, except in the case of West Nile (US only):

SARS: 774 deaths.

WEST NILE: 1159 deaths.

BIRD FLU: 262 deaths.

SMALLPOX: (terrorist threat): 0 deaths.

SWINE FLU: 18,500 deaths.

The Matrix Revealed

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

To give perspective, globally, 250 thousand to 500 thousand people die of ordinary flu-like illness every year. Yet this higher death rate accrues no interest as an epidemic. It is only the “teaching (brainwashing) moments” of the phony epidemics that are promoted by health agencies (e.g., CDC and WHO) and their pharmaceutical allies, who rake in billions by manufacturing new vaccines.

Yes, under the Obama Plan, there will be more declared health emergencies, and they will serve to cement the citizen to his new role as eternal patient in the medical march along bleak streets of the future.

Can you perceive the loss of individual freedom implicit in this universal system of health control?

You see, the widespread (and false) assumption is that more medical care for more people is a good thing. That’s what the politicians and the press tell us. That’s what the medical bureaucrats and the drug companies tell us. This is the central piece of brainwashing.

It’s a baldfaced lie. It’s a death-dealing lie.

And now the American people are saddled with it.

How Swine Flu Was Invented

What if you started a disease-scare and nobody cared?

UPDATED AND EXPANDED to include the whole mind-boggling fraud.

By Jon Rappoport

June 27, 2012

(To join our email list, click here.)

I wrote a shorter version of this article yesterday. After I was done, I decided to expand it before publishing it. So this is the longer piece. It exposes the whole Swine Flu operation as a complete fraud, from the beginning.

I’m assuming readers want to understand this. They are willing to follow a track of thought from start to finish. They want more than a headline and a few paragraphs. I say this because, as a reporter who has been exposing medical fraud for 25 years, I’ve found that the criminals try to cover their tracks. To see how they do it, you have to unwind their ball of yarn all the way. It’s not one-two-three.

With that proviso, here we go.

Remember these terms: La Gloria, PCR test. They are important in understanding how a fake pandemic can be invented from scratch, based on no evidence. You see, it’s not the germ, it’s the false announcement of the germ. It’s the concoction of an apparition, a ghost, a phantom. That’s how you launch a fake pandemic. That’s how you sell fear. That’s how you try to make people take their vaccines and keep their mouths shut.

In my years as an investigative medical reporter, I’ve developed a rule of thumb when dealing with the US Centers for Disease Control:

If they’re not lying, they’re lying.

I’ve found this guideline works out well. It’s almost magic.

For example, at the so-called height of the Swine Flu epidemic, in the summer of 2009, CBS News exposed the fact that the CDC, in an egregious dereliction of its duty, had stopped counting Swine Flu cases. The CDC just assumed people arriving at hospitals or doctors’ offices with anything resembling the flu had Swine Flu. Therefore, the CDC really didn’t have the faintest idea how many people in America had Swine Flu. Yet, soon after this CBS report broke, the CDC issued a mind-boggling announcement plucked out of thin air: there were undoubtedly 10 MILLION people in the US infected with Swine Flu. No evidence. No test results. No facts. Just scare tactics. As in: “You must get vaccinated.”

Well, they’re bloviating again, in a choice bit of revisionist history.

A new CDC study, published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal, states that the final global figure for Swine Flu deaths, 18,500, was grossly underestimated. The new and far more precise figure is…25,000? No. 50,000? No. 100,000?

No.

250,000! But wait. It actually might be as high as 575,400, say the CDC wizards.

What kind of rabbit hat is the CDC pulling those numbers from? The hat is called “a computer model” or a “statistical model.” This is code for: “We devised algorithms, equations, and charts which no one will bother to examine or assess or judge. Trust us. We’re the pros.”

It’s well known that computer models can be created and spun to achieve a wide variety of outcomes, depending on, for example, the result one favors from the get-go. Models of global warming have come under withering attack on that basis.

In typical bungling CDC fashion, the researchers have left clues about their work. The study authors write, “Diagnostic specimens are not always obtained from people who die with influenza and the viruses might no longer be detectable by the time of death in some people.” You might want to read that sentence again.

Translation: “We don’t know what we’re talking about when we jack up the estimates on deaths from Swine Flu because, well, there are a lot of dead people who died without ever having been tested for the H1N1 Swine Flu virus, and we can’t dig up their bodies now and run the tests. But our computer models can somehow perform post-mortem exams.”

Or: “Many, many people died without anyone knowing whether they had Swine Flu. So naturally we’ll assume they did.”

This is called science, and American tax dollars pay for it. They pay for an agency, the CDC, that is tasked with scaring Americans into getting vaccines, no matter what. Even if a re-write of history is necessary.

You see, after all the whipped-up hysteria, in 2009, when the CDC and the World Health Organization told us that a great horror, the H1N1 virus, was stalking the globe and mowing people down left and right with Swine Flu, the final mortality figure, worldwide, was an extreme embarrassment to these agencies. It was especially embarrassing because, well, the World Health Organization claims that, every year, between 250,000 and 500,000 people die from ordinary regular seasonal flu. This is not called a pandemic that could wipe out humankind. But when 18,500 people die of Swine Flu, this is called a Level 6 Pandemic, the highest danger category the World Health Organization can declare.

The CDC also announced today that, in 2009, the Swine Flu virus was “the predominant virus.” In other words, we are supposed to believe, again, with no evidence, that most people who died that year from flu died from Swine Flu. Or to put it another way, in 2009 the usual seasonal flu viruses that circulate decided to take a holiday and give the new kid on the block, Swine Flu, H1N1, a chance to spread his wings and see what he could do.

Therefore, these viruses must be cordial to one another. When a new one comes along, the others make room. They have a conference (thankfully not supported with tax monies) and they come to a consensus.

In some media outlets, the AFP story on this new CDC Swine Flu study included an interesting final sentence, and in at least one other major outlet, the final sentence was omitted.

It was: “The Council of Europe accused the agency [the World Health Organization] of causing unjustified scare and a waste of public money [in their launch and handling of the Swine Flu debacle.]”

Nothing to see there, just move along. Listen to the CDC and the World Health Organization and obey. Do what they tell you to do. They know stuff; you don’t. They’re brilliant; you’re a robot. Line up and take your vaccine.

If you swallow all that, I have stunning condos for sale on Jupiter.

Now let’s go deeper.

Realize, as well, that when the whole Swine Flu scare was launched in the spring of 2009, the WHO absurdly declared the H1N1 virus a Level-6 Pandemic based on a mere 20, that’s 20, cases of Swine Flu. At the same time, WHO changed its definition of “Level-6 Pandemic” so that severe destruction and widespread human death were no longer required. This is like saying a pandemic can be a pandemic without being a pandemic. (Search Peter Doshi, BMJ Online, for coverage on these two points.)

These factors provide strong circumstantial evidence that Swine Flu was an operation designed to frighten the global population, based on nothing. Nothing but anticipated pharmaceutical profits from the sale of vaccines and drugs.

Where did Swine Flu originate? A place called La Gloria, in Mexico, where a large industrial pig farm was located. Press reports described outdoor “pig feces lagoons” on the property. When workers began to get sick, the area was sprayed with unknown chemicals. More workers fell ill. Anyone with a basic knowledge of public health could testify that this combination of mind-boggling sanitation plus a strong germicide could cause human disease. In fact, it doesn’t matter which particular germs are present in the mix.

People at the CDC had to be well aware of this. Yet their choice was to rush researchers to La Gloria, armed with the unfounded assumption that some novel virus, never before seen, was the culprit, and their job was to take blood samples and discover what the new germ was.

Why? Why assume when workers who operate in that kind of environment get sick there is some new disease at work? The symptoms of the workers were not unusual, given the circumstances. Workers dying in that vat of filth and chemical soup should be expected.

But, up front, based on no evidence, the CDC on-site team was going for a new germ and a new disease, and that’s what they announced they had found. A gullible world, fed by press reports, bought in.

But, you say, cases of Swine Flu were subsequently diagnosed all over the planet. It wasn’t just La Gloria. You have to understand how these diagnoses were made, when they were made at all, beyond eyeballing sick people with “flu symptoms” and automatically claiming Swine Flu was the cause.

There is a test called the PCR. This was the major tool used to diagnose Swine Flu. Given the fact that it’s an expensive genetic assay, we can assume it wasn’t done often. The PCR basically takes very, very tiny amounts of unknown human genetic material and amplifies them to the point where they can be observed. In other words, there wasn’t enough “germ” to begin with. It was so miniscule, you couldn’t ID it as is.

This is called a clue. In order to even begin to think about indicting a germ as a cause of a disease, you need to find very large amounts of it. The army of germs has to be huge and it has to be doing something in the body. The PCR test doesn’t yield such a conclusion at all. If anything, it confirms that the army was non-existent.

The test used to diagnose Swine Flu was useless. It was misleading. It was obvious it was misleading. But it was used. Why?

Because it would provide cover. It would make it seem as if Swine Flu was everywhere on the planet.

This is more circumstantial evidence of an intentional operation.

Call a local environmental calamity (in La Gloria) a new disease based on no evidence. Have the leading public health agency in the world (the WHO) change its definition of pandemic to allow a declaration of a level-6 threat, based on a mere 20 cases. Start labeling ordinary flu Swine Flu. Claim it is a new disease, based on no evidence. Use a test to diagnose it that is useless and misleading.

And you’re home free. You have a global threat. You have fear. You have drug companies making a fortune. You have people believing they have to get their vaccines. You have toxic vaccines (by their very nature and composition) injected into the global population.

You have billions of people listening to the WHO and the CDC and following medical orders, which really amounts to political control. It’s all part of the operation to ensnare people into a cradle-to-grave medical apparatus that diagnoses one disease after another, treats these diseases with highly toxic drugs that produce new symptoms, then diagnosing those symptoms as new diseases and then treating those with more toxic drugs, until eventually death comes.

Except a funny thing happened on the CDC’s road to victory in the Swine Flu operation. The Internet rose up like a bear and swatted the CDC with a big paw. A handful of reporters and researchers (including moi) blew the deal. Exposed the scam.

The CDC and the WHO lost. They were slammed. Governments all over over the world are holding stocks of unused H1N1 vaccine, because people didn’t show up to get jabbed in the arm. It was a fiasco for the medical cartel.

Yes, Virginia, sometimes we win. And when we do, if we learn enough, we’re ready for the next load of lies and we know what to do.

FIDDLING SINCERELY WHILE ROME BURNS

 

FIDDLING SINCERELY WHILE ROME BURNS

by Jon Rappoport

June 24, 2012

www.nomorefakenews.com

 

“I don’t doubt the sincerity of my Democratic friends. And they should not doubt ours.” — John McCain

 

“Never try to look into both eyes at the same time. Switch your gaze from one eye to the other. That signals warmth and sincerity.’ — Dorothy Sarnoff

 

“In acting, sincerity is everything. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” — George Burns

 

 

This is about the oh-so sincere illusion of TWO when there is really only ONE. The public wants TWO. Two Parties. Two earnest candidates. Two ideas in opposition. Two debaters. Two warriors going up against each other in the arena. Two answers, one true and one false. A test. Can you choose the right answer?

 

Actually, there are an infinity of choices, but the ONE controlling elite presents TWO. Night or day. Coke or Pepsi. That’s what the public wants. Two is good. It’s simple. It’s Yin versus Yang. It’s two teams battling it out on the football field. Who do you root for? The Patriots or the Giants? Boil it down to two. It focuses the attention. Either-or. Item 1 or item 2. That’s reality.

 

“Hey,” the Reality Designers say, as they put together The Matrix, “this is a great idea. Let’s give these human creatures A or B. Get it? They’ll think they HAVE TO take A or B. No other options. We’ll weave this duality and simple-minded opposition into The Matrix. We’ll make it seem like it’s always THIS OR THAT. It’s a winner. When they believe they have to go with A or B, their intelligence plummets. Their perception narrows down. Their minds shrink. It’s perfect!”

 

Let’s start here with a recent example of political sincerity.

 

Apparently, Obama and Eric Holder thought the ATF was writing a review of the movie, Fast and Furious—not some insane murderous operation in which the ATF sold thousands of guns to Mexican drug cartels.

 

That must be the reason why Obama has asserted Executive Privilege and is withholding F and F documents from the Congress. He doesn’t want the movie review made public. He sincerely wants to protect the public from a bad movie review.

 

A new (questionable) Bloomberg poll shows Obama, at 55%, leading Romney by 13 points. However, 60% of the people polled said, simultaneously, “the nation [under Obama] is headed down the wrong track.”

 

Hmm. So this means Obama is wrong but Romney would be wronger?

 

Who to vote for? Wrong or wronger?

 

What about neither of the above? Can that be written in on ballots? “In a startling development, a candidate named ‘neither of the above’ is carrying thirty-seven states.”

 

The Bloomberg poll also revealed that 55% of the respondents believe “Mr. Romney is more out of touch with average Americans [than Obama].”

 

Subtle. The people polled weren’t asked what they thought. They were (sort of) asked what they thought “average Americans” thought.

 

It’s an interesting idea. The corollary would be: don’t vote for the candidate you prefer. Vote for the man you think nameless faceless average otherbodies prefer.

 

In which case, let the ballots reflect the real situation. We should have this sentence in bold black letters at the top of every paper ballot and touch-screen: WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN? INDICATE YOUR CHOICE BELOW. And this is how elections would be run.

 

Tautological headline in the NY Times: CANDIDATE MOST AMERICANS THOUGHT WOULD WIN DID WIN.

 

Of course, “neither of the above” is far better. He’s a candidate I can really get behind. I admire him. He has principles. He doesn’t mess around. He doesn’t make false promises. He isn’t a tool (as far as I can tell) of the Globalist criminals.

 

When “neither of the above” walks into the Oval Office to take up the mantle of president, I’ll be a happy man. I’ll be happy day after day. Can you imagine a presidency in which zero-lies emanate from the White House? People will die from the shock, but every revolution spawns collateral damage.

 

Here’s how I see the current campaign. In the middle of 2005, four guys whose names we’ll never know sat in a bunker below a farm in Virginia. The chief honcho said, “Okay, we know this character Obama will be the next president in 2008. That’s settled. We have to start thinking about 2012, because we want to push racial tensions to a new height, as a viable distraction, while on the side we steal everything we can from the American people. We need a real whitebread candidate to run against Obama. You know, white versus black. It has to be an extreme contrast. Gingrich is out. He’s mainly viewed as a talker. Perry can’t get a word out of his mouth. Santorum is a schmuck. That’s his distinguishing characteristic. But Romney. He’s a white android. He’s stiff. He’s Leave It To Beaver. He’s perfect. Let’s go with him. Make sure whenever he’s photographed without his jacket on, he’s wearing a blinding white shirt…”

 

Of course, both Obama and Romney are Globalists. Their main job is to mention the WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA, the North American Union, and free trade as few times as possible. So far, they’re doing fine.

 

So fine, in fact, that “the lesser of two evils” doesn’t apply to either of them. They’re in the same Globalist Club. Conservative Republicans don’t care about the Club, because when they look at Globalism, they mistakenly see American empire, and they like that. Democrats look at Globalism and see Fulfilling Needs of the Downtrodden, another complete delusion, a goal that isn’t in the Globalist playbook at all.

 

Coming down both sides of the aisle, it’s the march of the idiots, against which “neither of the above” looks very, very good.

 

In a letter to Jonathan Jackson, written on October 2, 1789, John Adams stated: “There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.”

 

In my experience, most people who say they are voting for the lesser of two evils are secretly in love with their “lesser.” They have a puerile adoration for a stereotype. They religiously believe. They look through a vision of a filter of a lens, and they melt hope into fact.

 

When I stack that up against “neither of the above,” it’s no contest. It’s as obvious as walking away from a conversation at a picnic where two people are earnestly discussing Oprah vs. Ellen, Maury vs. Jerry Springer.

 

Who do you want to captain the bureaucratically engorged ship of state? Obama or Romney? Is that really a question? Does it make any sense? How much externally and internally applied brainwashing does it take to believe it’s a choice? Tons and tons.

 

Yet, millions of Americans will gladly and sincerely and fiercely and selfishly and altruistically make that choice in November. Many of them will think they’re smart in doing so. And (paraphrasing George Carlin) they would tell me I’m forfeiting my right to complain after the election, because I didn’t vote. No, that’s backwards.

 

They are choosing to support the rotting gangrenous burning vessel that is moving in slow circles on the water. I’m not.

 

People are afraid of not voting. It makes them feel guilty. I suspect it comes from the same impulse that causes them to meddle. You know, “Someone somewhere may be making a mistake and I have to find him and make sure that doesn’t happen.”

 

If you draw it out far enough, the ultimate conclusion to meddling-thinking IS Globalism. The overarching plan. The Good for All. The single brilliant system that will include everybody. It’s a ruse, a con. It’s invented to diminish everybody.

 

When you approach the subject of choosing between two destructive alternatives, you’re brushing up against Matrix thinking. Matrix thinking is obsessively incremental. People believe they’re making an intelligent choice based on the assessment of consequences and so on, but really they’re in the swamp. They’re carrying out a line of reasoning based on false choices, bad choices, horrible competing premises. And why do so many people fall for this? Because they’re engaged on the level of systems. They believe in systems beyond the point of sanity. They are swimming and floundering in systematic thought-patterns, and they need to follow that course to its bitter end. And they do.

 

Colleges and universities are loaded with obsessive incremental thinkers. They are a sub-department of The Matrix. They live inside systems and they play those systems out, one drop and drip at a time. Eventually, they make their maze so complex no one can find a way out by following the accepted rules.

 

The ability to cast a vote of no-confidence (“neither of the above”) would have a tonic effect. It would start the adrenaline flowing.

 

In America, this amounts to treason, because we have to believe that one of the appointed leaders is right; otherwise nothing is right. That’s a hell of a precept. It was cut off at the knees once upon a time, when the Colonies created a limited government, a very small government, and within certain limitations tried to enshrine freedom, which meant that every person could make up his mind about most of the important issues. But somewhere along the line, America was bamboozled into giving up on that. Instead, it adopted leadership as the sacred object.

 

One of these morons/criminals running for president has to be right, and the other moron has to be wrong. One has to be the lesser evil. One has to be the greater evil.

 

But Obama was a disaster. Romney, if elected, will be a disaster.

 

You want to know how easy it is to co-opt either of these “opposites” into the Globalist Club? You tell one man Globalism is all about increasing the power of central government, so it can repair past inequities. You tell the other one Globalism is all about the right of big corporations to prosper and engage the free market. That’s it.

 

What you don’t say is that both routes are paved with bad intentions. Along both routes there is a funnel that sucks up populations (and national governments) into an overarching structure of global control, operated by men who care nothing about repairing inequities or engaging the free market.

 

By the time the presidential winner realizes what’s happening, his dissolute personality/character takes over, and he’s just another bad actor doing bad things in the parade. The vetting process that allows a man to win the nomination of one of the two political behemoths, in the first place, guarantees you’re going to have a pretty slimy creature out front carrying the banner.

 

Truth be told, he already suspected the political game, at the highest level, was a ruse, because he knows how to work a ruse. He knows. He’s already a gimcrack con artist. And the grooming period, if he had any doubts, let him know what was expected of him: to be an agent of the destruction of individual freedom.

 

This is where we are. A vote for Romney or a vote for Obama amounts to the same thing. You may feel more revulsion for one man than the other. That’s fine. But deploying that emotion in the service of accomplishing something good is a pipe dream of a very high order. It makes you a victim of your own irrational predisposition.

 

I believe millions of people know this, and they would exercise the “neither of the above” option if they had the chance. In fact, it would be sweet revenge.

 

Well, we do have that option. We may not be able to register it at the polls on election day, but we can stay home and make the point that way. We can abstain from the circus. We can even point out the insanity of voting for Slug One or Slug Two.

 

I know, it’s a long road to victory this way. Well, the road that got us to where we are now was long, too.

 

Ever since 1968, when I began paying attention to presidential elections and speeches, I was aware I was listening to two liars playing games every four years. At first, it was so obvious I imagined someone somehow would step into the fray and interrupt the charade and make arrests. Eventually, I put up with the cartoons.

 

Now, millions of us are aware that these campaign shows are cartoons. The actual human connection that flows from Obama/Romney to The People is sheer fantasy. Even if these two men were sincere, the distance at which they’re operating is too great to make a difference. They’re stereotypes spouting stereotypes to stereotypes. They’re outright frauds, down to their toes. One is pretending he’s a messiah; the other is pretending he’s a champion of freedom.

 

Which fraud is your fraud?

 

The tattered messiah, or the whitebread champion of liberty, whose coat would be tattered a year after he stepped into the Oval Office?

 

In The Matrix, when a person suddenly realizes he’s accepted the burden of choosing between two lies, a bit of an explosion occurs and he wakes up a little. It’s a start. The political arena is not a bad place to have one of those satori moments.

 

Bush-Gore. Bush-Kerry. McCain-Obama. Obama-Romney. Yin-Yang.

 

I’ll tell you a secret about political Yin-Yang. Merging the two opposing semicircles into a Whole isn’t the solution. No, the real answer comes from staring at the locked semicircles until, like a pricked balloon, the whole sphere blows up. Then you know something. Then you realize something. Then you feel a surge of freedom.

 

As I say, it’s a start. Politics 101, American style.

Why I produced “The Matrix Revealed”

Why I produced “The Matrix Revealed”

by Jon Rappoport

June 20, 2012

www.nomorefakenews.com

My new collection, The Matrix Revealed, was assembled on the same basis as the suggestion that “None Of The Above” should be placed on all ballots at election polls.

The more you understand about how the Matrix is put together, the nuts and bolts of it, the closer you approach the decision that you want none of it.

And then you begin to think about and imagine and enact true alternatives.

It’s as if you enter a huge factory where machines run night and day, and you examine the highly complex operation at close range. The more details that emerge to your eye and mind, the fuller your penetration of the inescapable conclusion that all this activity is generated to fabricate an illusion:

An illusion that this is the only possible Reality.

That’s the objective of Matrix.

My objective is to explode that myth through 1) detailed knowledge of how Matrix is built and 2) the ascension of individual creative power to invent new realities.

With that in mind, here is an interview with my late colleague and friend, Jack True. Jack was a most brilliant and innovative hypnotherapist who eventually stopped using hypnosis in his practice. (I interview him 43 times in THE MATRIX REVEALED; 320 pages.) Jack developed extraordinary methods for waking people up beyond a point that is normally considered possible. I’ve published this interview before. Since then, I’ve found additional notes from the conversation and added them.

Before the interview, I want to say a relevant few words about the animated videos I’ve been making with my colleague, Theo Wesson. You can see them at www.youtube.com/jonrappoport. There’s a new one, just out, on the Obama/Romney debates. We make these animations because the viewer has a chance to have a unique experience for a few minutes, where ordinary reality is blown apart.

Aside from all the usual reasons for making a cartoon, you can expose the lies of ordinary reality. People, whether they admit it or not, want a unique moment. A moment where the rules are suspended. The machine of ordinary reality-manufacture stops.

This is what Jack True is talking about in this interview. As a hypnotherapist, he was particularly adept at putting people in a light trance. Their minds would be open to new experience, but they wouldn’t be suggestible. That was the trick. To relax the mind and eliminate, for the moment, the clutter and the internal dialogue and the push-pull of competing automatic thoughts. Finding that sweet spot, Jack was then able to have his patients achieve some remarkable things, things they wouldn’t be able to do in their ordinary state of consciousness.

This is important to understand. When Jack talks about a patient being able “to conceive of something,” it might, on the surface, not sound so important. But Jack wasn’t working on the surface. The patient, conceiving of something in a light trance, was operating in a whole different theater of experience. The impact was magnified many times.

The Matrix Revealed

Okay, here we go.

Q: You’ve talked about “the habitual mind.” What do you mean?

A: It’s a mind that can’t get enough of predictability. It’s addicted to seeing the same thing over and over.

Q: Even if it doesn’t see it?

A: (laughs) That’s right. It will invent it.

Q: Why?

A: Because it’s avoiding something. It’s avoiding the possibility of a unique experience.

Q: Again, why?

A: Because a unique experience would open the door to the possibility that all the systems the mind has built up are insufficient or lacking.

Q: Why is it important to allow your patients to see “beyond ordinary reality?”

A: The answer to that is, of course, obvious. But I’ll try to give you a slightly different slant on it. You could say that everything a person believes or is conditioned to believe is held in place, held in one place, like a corral. The sheep in the corral are all his beliefs, and they stand there. There is a fence around the corral, and the gate is locked by the way he views reality. As long as he views reality in the same way, the gate is going to be locked. And his beliefs are going remain there. They’re not going to change. But if, for some reason, he begins to see reality in a new way, the lock on the gate is going to spring open, and the beliefs are going to scatter and disperse.

Q: So, in hypnotherapy, you try to get patients to–

A: Not through suggestions, but by other strategies.

Q: For example?

A: With certain patients who I feel are up to to it, I bring in the idea of a unique object. A singular object.

Q: What’s that?

A: A unique object, for my purposes, is a one-of-a-kind thing that never existed before and will never exist again. It could be anything.

Q: There are lots of unique objects.

A: Depends on how you look at that meaning. I’m talking about a thing that isn’t composed of whatever everything else is composed of. So a unique object isn’t made out of atoms. It’s different.

Q: Like a very strange chair?

A: Why not? It could be anything. But it’s utterly unlike anything else.

Q: Not sure I follow you.

A: I put a patient in a light trance. That means he’s aware, and it also means he can focus. His mind is, for the moment, uncluttered. He’s not thinking fifteen thoughts. He’s in a sort of zero state. Calm. He can think and he can respond, but he’s not distracted. His consciousness is relaxed and open. He’s not overly receptive to suggestions. He’s not in a Pavlovian condition. He’s in the moment.

Q: Okay. Then what?

A: Then I describe, in general terms, what a unique object is. And I ask him to conceive of one.

Q: Does he?

A: It varies. Some people work at it but they don’t come up with anything. Other people give me lots of objects, but nothing much happens. In some cases, though, a very interesting thing occurs. The patient begins to see or imagine or think about a truly unique thing. An object of great significance to him. It’s not me who is telling him the object has great meaning. He comes upon that by himself. It’s all subjective. You see? I give him the general idea of what a unique object is, and then he takes it from there. And what he describes to me isn’t a startling revelation, in terms of the object itself. It’s how he sees it and how he feels about it. It’s like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. When it happens, the patient experiences a change in perception. Right away.

Q: Because he feels he’s really seeing something unique.

A: That’s right. He feels that. You know, people go through their lives and they see all sorts of things, and nothing much registers with any great impact. It’s often just cultural responses, like, “Well, I’m standing here on top of a mountain, and I’m supposed to be enthralled, so I’ll act like I am.” Or “I’m walking through a forest and I’m supposed to feel the majesty of the tall trees, so I will.” My idea is to have a patient actually experience something in a spontaneous way.

Q: Give me an example.

A: One patient was quiet for a long time. Then he began talking slowly about…it seemed to be a musical instrument. He got this look in his eye, as if he was feeling something he had never felt before. As if he was making a real discovery. As if this object wasn’t part of the known world.

Q: And then what?

A: The next day, he told me his blood pressure, which had been high, was down to normal levels. His low-level chronic headache was gone. He didn’t need his glasses.

Q: Was this change permanent?

A: The blood pressure never went all the way back to the high level. For about a week, he didn’t need his glasses. The chronic headache eventually became a once-a-month headache. But he also began to see his life differently. His marriage really underwent a revolution. He reconciled with his wife, and they became much happier. His overall mood changed.

Q: All from…

A: From that experience.

Q: And you would say his beliefs changed.

A: Absolutely. Until that point, he had a very restricted view of his possibilities. That all shifted.

Q: Because he glimpsed a unique object.

A: It sounds strange, doesn’t it. But yes. It was a moment in a session. The “gap” between what he believed and what he could see just…fell apart. Here’s how I would characterize it. Perception is often an apparatus where you have whole strings of things that are deemed to be similar. The person sees A and subconsciously thinks, “Well, A is like B and B is like C and C is like D…” He’s not really seeing A. He’s linking A to other things he’s seen or heard about. It’s not true vivid perception. It’s perception plus memory and thought. It’s a hybrid. And it’s dull. It’s really uninteresting. Which has emotional implications. The person’s level of feeling becomes dull, too. So what happened in this case with the patient was, that whole pattern was broken. For a few minutes, the perception, the seeing was direct. He saw a unique object. Or to put it differently, he saw uniquely.

Q: And what caused his beliefs to change?

A: Well, if perception is dull, feeling is dull. If feeling is dull, then a person begins to adopt beliefs that will go along with that level of dull feeling. Limited beliefs. Limited ideas about the possibility of his life and even existence itself. So when that whole pattern broke apart, the sun came through. He perceived uniquely. He did it himself. Not through my suggestions. Not through drugs. He did it. And so, automatically, his dull beliefs began to slip away, because there was nothing to hold them in the corral.

Q: He perceived uniquely, so he felt uniquely, and then his beliefs, which were based on, as you say, dull feelings, were unsupported.

A: Right. Life tends to form into an un-unique pattern. That’s what characterizes it. The un-uniqueness is the glue that holds the pattern together. When you melt that glue, you get a chance at liberation.

Q: This reminds me of preconceived knowing. A person has a set of assumptions, and then anything he comes across—information, ideas, concepts—he fits them into the assumptions he already has and…grinds out a conclusion about whether these ideas are of value or not.

A: Yes, it’s the same thing, but what I do with patients relates to direct perception. Direct spontaneous experience.

[At this point, we took a long break. When we came back, we continued the conversation. Jack reiterated some of things he’d been saying, adding a few twists.]

Q: You were talking about political structures.

A: Yes. They are built in relation to public blindness.

Q: What does that mean?

A: To the degree that people think they are blind to what is going on in the world, the political structures that act on their behalf become larger.

Q: Governments are people’s eyes?

A: Absolutely. So the more complex the world becomes, the more people think they are blind, and they allow governments to expand. The formula works from both ends. Government is an apparatus of perception.

Q: Of course, what governments “see” is colored by their agendas.

A: Sure. I didn’t say the government is a reliable set of eyes. I just said it substitutes for people’s blindness. It’s second-hand perception. But I bring it up because it’s very much like what happens within an individual.

Q: How so?

A: A person tends to believe he can’t see what’s really going on, in front of his own eyes. This comes about because of disappointments the person suffers. He sees something and he wants it, and he tries, but he doesn’t get it. So he begins to believe there is something wrong with the way he sees.

Q: That’s a strange idea.

A: Yes, but it’s true. People start out with a simple formula—if I can see it and I want it, I can get it. When that formula doesn’t work enough times, the person begins to believe he isn’t seeing correctly. So he enters into a complex process with his mind, where he appoints a structure, an internal structure to see for him.

Q: A proxy.

A: Yes. And this structure is based on comparisons. A is like B, and B is like C, and C is like D. A person begins to see in categories. He doesn’t perceive directly. Instead of seeing A directly and uniquely, he sees the things A is compared to. He sees a concept. And he gets into cultural norms, seeing what the culture tells him he is supposed to see.

Q: You’re talking about a habit.

A: A deeply ingrained habit.

Q: Aside from your technique of “the unique object,” how would it be broken?

A: You’re the one who told me how.

Q: Through imagination.

A: Yes. Because imagination throws a monkey wrench into the apparatus of second-hand perception. It doesn’t go along with A is like B and B is like C. It comes from a different place. I once did an experiment with ink blots. You know, the ink blot test psychologists use. I took a small group of people and told them I wanted them to look at a few cards with ink blots on them and write down what they could imagine when they saw them. It was all imagination. The people knew that. So first, they wrote down a number, before they looked at any of the cards. The number represented their estimate of their “feeling of well-being” at that moment. It was a scale from 1 to 20, with 20 being highest. Then, after I showed them the cards, and they spent about an hour writing down what they imagined…they wrote down another number—their state of well-being at THAT moment. And in all cases, the second number was higher than the first. The well-being index. (laughs) Imagination raises the level of emotion. It raises energy. But it also creates perception. That’s the most important thing. So, essentially, imagination shreds the apparatus of second-hand perception by creating new perception.

Q: The culture isn’t set up to accommodate that.

A: The culture is all about showing people what they’re supposed to see, through sets of definitions and categorizations. That’s what a culture IS. An apparatus of perception. Imagination works at cross purposes to that.

Q: Because imagination doesn’t care what the culture says or thinks.

A: When you imagine something, you see it or feel it right away. You see what you imagine. Your perceive THAT. So it’s a different way of seeing.

Q: And it only applies to the individual.

A: Of course. As soon as it becomes a group enterprise, you’re building a culture. You’re building another second-hand perception apparatus.

Q: With this patient you were talking about, you asked him to conceive of a unique object. What do you think that meant to him

A: Well, it was a puzzle to start with. He didn’t know exactly what to do. The gears of his ordinary mind stopped working in the usual way. See, I wasn’t asking him to remember his Social Security number. I wasn’t asking him to tell me what he thought about the weather or his trip to the Greek islands or some article in the Times. He knew how to come up with answers to those things. I was asking him to come up with something completely new and different.

Q: Very Zen.

A: You could say that, yes.

Q: So how did he do it?

A: I’m sure he scoured his memory. But there was no map. He had to come to grips with the idea that there was some other way to proceed, some way he wasn’t used to. He had to think in a different way.

Q: Suppose he couldn’t?

A: But he could. That’s the thing. You see? It’s possible. There is a way to get past all the usual categories of perception. It’s as if you’re walking down a street and everywhere you look there are gates. You can walk through the gates, but if you do, you’re going to come into territory you’re already familiar with. You’ve been through all those gates before, thousands of times. So you don’t do that. You look for something else. You don’t know what it is, but you look.

Q: Are you saying this is a natural process? Are you saying that the gates and the categories are unnatural?

A: The gates and the territories and the rest of it are the result of conditioning. A lot of the conditioning comes into us from the outside, but we also condition ourselves. When you look for a unique object, you’re going past the programming in a very direct way.

Q: Somehow, energy plays a role here.

A: When you come upon a unique object, energy is released. It’s not the usual pedestrian plodding energy.

Q: You’re talking about inspiration.

A: Yes, in a way. But the energy is also a kind of signal. It’s communicating to you. It’s telling you that you just “climbed the mountain.” You climbed the mountain and you floated off the top. That energy, that signal also is transmitted to the body. Your body is alerted to a new dimension of experience. The body responds.

Q: How?

A: It generates a new energy field. A more alive field. Endorphin release also occurs. But the energy field goes beyond that. Your ordinary categories of thought and perception, the normal associations you make…all this is plugged into processes of the body, and the body takes its cues from that grid. But when you supersede all this, as with the perception of a unique object, the old grid isn’t in the seat of control anymore. It isn’t the absolute dictator.

Q: With patients where you’ve been successful with this, I assume there’s no predicting what unique object they’ll come up with.

A: That’s the whole point. If the unique object were the same for everyone, it wouldn’t be unique. People get nervous about this idea. They want to know right away what the object would be. They want a plan. A pattern.

Q: They want a system.

A: “Yes, class, here is the unique object. Now everybody focus on it.” This is exactly what mysticism and religion give you. They tell you up front what the unique object is, because they know that’s what the majority of people want.

Q: And focus isn’t the issue, is it?

A: No, this has nothing to do with focus or concentration. And it certainly has nothing to do with repetition. It’s all about finding or inventing a unique object. Look, what I’m talking about here isn’t for the masses. The masses want symbols they can hang on to. They want symbols that seem to promise them rescue.

Q: You’re saying that all conditioning and programming have to do with sameness.

A: That’s what’s programmed into people. Do A and then A and then A and then A over and over again. People program themselves this way. So their perception of reality becomes stagnant. On one level, it really doesn’t matter how people program themselves. It’s the fact of the programming that’s important, because all conditioning has this feature. It repeats. It spits out the same answer every time. It has the same solutions, to the point where you don’t think any other solution is possible. The strategy of the unique object works in exactly the opposite direction. And in my clinical experience, when it works, it’s extraordinary what happens. One search, one finding of one unique object, and you get a shift. The programming begins to split open.

Q: Before we sat down to talk, you said something about second-hand existence.

A: People look at something or read something and right away they’re experts. They’re experts on what other people will think about it. So you show them something and they judge it by what they think other people will think about it. So they’re not looking at it for themselves. Their perception is geared to a category called “what other people will think.” Except those other people will do the same thing. They’ll look at it and decide its value on the basis of what still OTHER people will think about it. So you get this complete absurdity.

Q: Whereas when a patient of yours conceives of a unique object?

A: As you can see, it’s hard to describe that experience.

Q: Well, you can’t relate it to any system.

A: That’s the point. You have somebody who’s lived for fifty years without ever having considered the idea that there is a unique object. The whole premise seems ridiculous or trivial. But then one day in my office, he does it. He’s in a light trance, and he comes up with a unique object. When he does, there is no system. There is no conditioned apparatus for perceiving. He breaks through that. He’s in a space that is free in a way he’s never experienced freedom before. He’s “off the grid.” He feels like a combination of a treasure hunter who’s just arrived in the cave and opened the box full of gold and jewels, after tracking the place for a long time—and an artist who just made something on a canvas that was completely spontaneous and new and alive. That’s a transcendent moment. It’s his own experience. He did it.

Most of the time we operate inside the grid. Everything happens there, or we think so. Some things we like and some we don’t. We assemble all sorts of concepts and preferences and ideas to justify why we should be doing what we’re doing. But there is a whole universe of experience that lies outside this grid.

[A few comments. Later in his career, Jack True developed many other methods for achieving the kind of breakthrough he explains in this interview. In our many conversations, I also began to develop exercises and techniques for such breakthroughs. The starting point for gaining a grasp on this work is The Matrix Revealed, followed by my audio seminars, MIND CONTROL, MIND FREEDOM, and THE TRANSFORMATIONS incorporated into Exit From The Matrix.]

A TIDAL WAVE OF POLITICAL LIARS LYING

A tidal wave of political liars lying

by Jon Rappoport

June 18, 2012

www.nomorefakenews.com

Political liars lie because they’re forwarding secret agendas and don’t want us to catch on. They also lie because they’re tailoring their messages to what they think we want to hear. We know that. Everybody knows that.

But if everybody knows that, why do so many people act as if they don’t know it? It’s a strange phenomenon.

If you had a friend who talked to you every day in a way you knew was disingenuous, if he said things obviously intended to cater to your opinions and beliefs, at some point wouldn’t you hold up your hand and say STOP? It would be maddening, wouldn’t it? It would be like eating too much molasses.

Sure, we like to have people agree with us, but there is a limit. There is especially a limit when we know they’re pretending to agree with us. There is REALLY a limit when we know they’re agreeing with us because they want something from us.

Of course, the “science” of PR makes no distinction between the truth and a lie. PR is based on the notion that you say things only and always to engender the effect you’re looking for (while concealing your true intent). And now much of the world runs on PR. That’s the engine. This is essentially what campaign advisers are there for: to show their candidates how to lie, how to get away with it, and how to make people like the lies.

The question for a politician is: how well am I lying; not, what am I lying about.

Nixon was a bad liar. He even seemed like a liar when he was saying what he really thought. He was basically trapped in being a liar at the core. He made you think a PR agent had created him whole out of cardboard and glue.

Reagan was a somewhat better liar, but still, when you got past his best moments, he was grossly inept.

Gerald Ford was a surprisingly good liar. He seemed to be a simple fool who actually believed what he said. That’s an art.

Jimmy Carter was a good liar and then a not-so-good liar. He had his good days and bad days.

George Bush I was an awkward liar. He was like Nixon in many respects. Put him behind a microphone and everything out of his mouth came across like a lie. Ditto for his son.

Bill Clinton was, all said and done, like Carter. Good days and bad days—until Monica. After that, he was Bubba, the prime Grade A non-stop bullshitter.

Obama, when the high oratory of his early days melted away, played it so close to the vest he entered a neutral zone where what he said carried neither the impression of being true nor false. It was dead fish. Unless you actually listened, and then you heard chains and chains of Chicago-baked prevarications

I’m talking about style here, not content. And style, for these men, is an artifact of PR. “Can I tell a good lie?” “Can I get over?” “Can I make it seem real?”

We’ve come so far in the cartoon world of political PR that John Q Public tends to judge politicians on the basis of how well they’re lying.

“He makes it seem he’s telling the truth. I like that. He’s doing well.”

“He’s an intelligent liar. He knows his facts and he can juggle them and manipulate them. That’s good.”

Then you have liars like Henry Waxman. (I ran against him in 1994 for a Congressional seat.) Waxman is a pretty good liar. He does it with a chip on his shoulder, with some anger, as if he’s outraged at his enemies. He can do earnest. Like many other politicians, he can actually keep himself from knowing the kind of truth that would expose himself to himself as a liar. That’s an art.

Some of you might remember Everett Dirksen. He served in Congress from 1933 to 1969. He’d still be there if he wasn’t dead. Ev was not just a liar, he was a pop star of lying. When he spoke publicly, he was so over the top, with his super-syrupy baritone and his sing-song jive, he made your eyes water. He was like a 50-foot painted cement dinosaur suddenly showing up as you were driving down an empty highway. He was the cartoon of cartoons of American politics, and for that his colleagues named a senate building after him when he died. They sat around like a bunch of snake oil and shoe salesmen and told stories about the great Ev. The press called Ev “The Wizard of Ooze.”

Bill Gates is a combination of the old TV puppet Howdy Doody, Donald Duck, and Mad Comics’ Alfred E Newman. With real malice aforethought. In recent years, he’s slipped into the role of The Great Educator and the technocrat with all the answers for the “brilliant future of planet Earth.” Bill’s lies come across like much of fake science: earnest, insistent, impatient, authoritative, confident.

The current political system of the United States is built on so many false flags, hidden agendas, crimes, and cover-ups, the intensity and quantity of lies has escalated to keep pace.

In key ways, the coming lie-fest between Obama and Romney falls into neat compartments. On one side, we have the cracker-barrel old fashioned white-bread-crust android Romney. And on the other side, we have the hip knowing forward-looking hero-of-the-downtrodden personable alert utopian Obama. Two fronts, two poses, two roles, two acts, two liars. They’re really clones of Globalism.

But they’ll play out the drama, and they’ll rivet the public attention with the lies they’re telling, and more importantly, the way they’re telling them.

PR specialists have discovered that people like their lies cooked differently. Some groups want Denny’s-type lies. Others want McDonalds or Burger King. Subtle differences. The amount of grease is important. Then there are organic-greens lies. There are home-cooked meat-and-potatoes lies. There are rib-shack lies. There are all sorts of flavorings.

The public is so used to lies-as-lies they become connoisseurs. It’s not whether the politician is lying, it’s the brand and feel and sensation and attitude of the lies as they fall on the palate.

Some people prefer the Don Rumsfeld approach: “Of course I’m lying, we all are, but I’m giving you my crap straight from the shoulder and I don’t care whether or not you believe me.” Others like Dick Cheney’s attitude: “I can lie until the sun goes down but I have the power to make it stick and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

On the other side of the aisle, you have Nancy Pelosi: “I lie with anger and outrage and a dismissive twitch. I lie because women need to be able to lie as well as men can. It’s a social movement.” Or there is Harry Reid: “My lies come out of a hole in the wall at the baseboard where I’m sitting like a mouse. But watch out. I have an army of mice behind me. We look weak, but we can eat up your whole kitchen.” Chris Dodd was a guru: “I lie with a blizzard of facts and the hard-nosed experience to back it up. My lies look exactly like the truth, if anyone around here were speaking the truth.”

The four-cornered feedback loop among PR-schooled politicians, PR advisers, the press, and the public is so busy that the public is now sitting like panel judges on a show called The Liars Club, deciding which are the best lies and liars. The public is honored to be there.

However, as successive waves of alternative deeper online news and research are drenching the public, the confusion is building. Could the truth really work? Is that possible? If the lies stopped, would the entire economy and political apparatus of the country go down overnight? Are we that entrenched? We’re going to find out.

In 1956, author Eugene Burdick, who would go on to write The Ugly American and Fail-Safe, published his first novel, the quickly forgotten The Ninth Wave. Two young friends, Mike and Hank, explore the emerging culture of California. Mike, however, discovers he has a knack for politics, and he quickly graduates up the ladder to boy-genius kingmaker. Using polls and surveys in a unique fashion, pinpointing voters’ hopes and fears and hatreds, Mike becomes a supreme and successful election manipulator. His friend Hank, who basically stands for truth and justice, is horrified. He realizes Mike may have to leave this Earth abruptly and violently if America itself is to be saved from The Attack of Public Relations.

We’ve come a long way, baby, since 1956. The novel’s theme seems completely absurd now. Of course political advisers (and their candidates) give up all principles in order to win. Of course polls and surveys are used to prey on voters’ emotions. Of course such calculations are the (vampiric) lifeblood of politics. Of course lies and counter-lies cover hidden agendas. Of course politicians are bought and paid for. Of course only the cynical and the venal survive in Washington. Of course the lamp is lit for the winners and doused for the losers. Of course they survey you and then feed you back your own preferences as if they’re their preferences, too.

You’ve got voters who are willing to trudge into rooms and take part in focus groups, where they watch political debates and push buttons to signify their reactions to individual sentences, phrases, single words. Lambs to the slaughter.

All this is business as usual.

But new winds are blowing stronger. People are beginning to think there may be something out there on the far side of all this lying, something we lost and could get back. No, it wouldn’t look like Leave It To Beaver, it would look, perhaps, like people do when they’re hearing the kind of joke that makes them fall off their chair and roll on the floor. I’ve often wondered what might happen, if, in the middle of a nationally televised presidential debate, the audience just started howling with laughter at both candidates and couldn’t stop.

That would be an interesting beginning, a kickoff, you might say, a spark that lights a fuse that results in an explosion that has nothing to do with terrorism. It would be on the order of a play that opens on Broadway, and by universal acclaim closes down after one night, because it’s so absurdly and preposterously pathetic—to which the only response is laughter.

And then, of course, other things would follow. But that would be a start: Romney and Obama, two clowns trying to act straight, two chronic hypocrites and liars peddling their sop and crap and shell game and fake differences, rushing offstage to escape the massive waves of laughter pouring over them, as the panicked networks cut to commercials for floor wax and Lipitor.

You Ron Paul delegates attending the GOP convention in Tampa? Don’t try to sink a plank in the Republican platform, don’t sit on your hands, don’t fidget, don’t boo, do something real. If your heads are on straight and you’re looking at the scene for what it really is, you WILL start LAUGHING at Romney, without even trying. Give your Democrat counterparts something to think about, when Obama begins yapping in Charlotte about the economy coming back strong and his great vision for a better tomorrow and how much help he needs in the fourth quarter as he’s trying to get free to sink the three-pointer at the buzzer.

Obama and Romney are both laughing up their sleeves at us. I think it’s time we return the favor. With a vengeance.

A CARTOON: NSA AND GOOGLE EMBRACE

 

A CARTOON: NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY AND GOOGLE

by Jon Rappoport

June 16, 2012

 

This article is about a cartoon I produced with Theo Wesson. I’m now in the animation business. Videos. I write the scripts and Theo does the visuals.

 

We’ve produced four cartoons so far, and in the last three days they’ve suddenly taken off on my YouTube channel. The total views for the four went from about 700 to 12,000.

 

You’ve all read the news stories about Google and NSA teaming up to…oh, that’s right, they don’t have to say what they’re doing together. They’re allowed to keep it a secret. Maybe they’re selling toasters or opening car washes. But my guess is it has something to do with information. Just a thought.

 

Immensely powerful US-based multinational corporations, which owe no allegiance to any nation, are in the business of global conquest. It stands to reason that, on some level, the NSA, which is also in the business of global conquest, shares part of what it learns about American citizens every day with those corporations.

 

Therefore, what looks on the surface like an enormous and illegal invasion of our privacy on behalf of some concocted agenda about US national security is, at the margins, about globalism—a program to bring planet Earth under the control of an elite management system.

 

The cartoon is about what NSA and Google could cook up together.

It’s my considered observation that we live in a social, political, economic, and cultural cartoon. And I also conclude that many people sense this but don’t articulate it. Now, a cartoon can contain suffering. Just because it’s animated doesn’t mean the people living in it don’t experience pain.

 

And I think many of us love cartoons because they indeed reflect our awareness that life is, in certain major respects, a cartoon.

 

Also, animations suggest there are other possible realities that operate according to different principles. We want some of those realities. We want to experience them. Unfortunately, a whole lot of people believe such experience only occurs after death. I say it can happen right here, right now.

 

Frost’s line, “And the work is play for mortal stakes,” comes to mind. Part of the operation of The Matrix is to make us serious in the same way The Matrix is serious. We risk becoming too tight to win, too closed off to our own energies, too stultified to imagine how we can emerge victorious over Matrix systems and structures.

 

The Matrix is a cartoon. We can dismantle it in pieces, and we can also proliferate our own cartoons that rocket us past the illusions we’re being sold in the bazaar of daily experience.

 

Really? Our imaginations are that powerful?

 

You have no idea. Or maybe you do.

 

I hope you enjoy our cartoon and pass it along.
