Podcast: Inside the Den of Thieves

My Experience inside the US Political System

by Jon Rappoport

April 19, 2022

(To join our email list, click here.)

As you know, I’ve launched weekly podcasts on my new substack page. Go over there and check it out. I appreciate all subscriptions.

That’s what substack is about—readers supporting individual writers. It’s the fastest growing platform of its kind in the world. And so far, zero censorship.

I’ve intentionally tested them with my first outpouring of articles on controversial subjects—and not a peep from them.

I’ve been doing substack for only a month, and already they’re listing me in the top hundred on the subject of Culture.

The new podcast is Culture in spades.

I tell the story of testifying before 2 Nevada State legislative Committees 20 years ago, during a spate of school shootings across America.

It was a surreal day, starting with the fact that I had no idea how or why I was invited to testify. I had nothing friendly to say to the Committees.

My background and research had to do with the dangers of the psychiatric drugs, particularly the antidepressants, which cause some people to spill over into violence—including murder.

That wasn’t on the list of ideas the Committees were looking for.

As the day wore on, I got a very strong dose of rejection from one Committee member—which was a joke to me, because I eat those sorts of political critiques for breakfast.

Most of all, I gained an extremely vivid and up-close impression of what these political animals were all about. And that’s the story I focus on in the podcast.

Who are these people? What is it like to be sitting and standing next to them and overhearing them talk, when the cameras aren’t there?

This is why I made the trip to Nevada—to find out. And I did.

I wanted to get in BEHIND the official nonsense, behind the political ideology, behind the appearance, to the reality on the ground. The reality that makes you want to take a shower as soon as you’re done.

It’s important to see and hear and feel these creatures in their native habitat.

At the time, I thought I should have a notebook with me, so I could jot down impressions and observations on the spot—but as soon as I stepped into the conference room where I’d address the first Committee, I knew that wouldn’t be necessary.

The whole scene unrolled like a magic carpet…minus the magic. I said to myself, “I’m never going to forget this.” And I haven’t.

Culture—such as it is today—is the main reason I started writing at substack. I wanted an outlet for everything I see moving around us that is transforming the past, present, and future.

My approach to it—full frontal attack, satire, surrealism, fiction—is all hands on deck. No holds barred.

There is no other way, as far as I’m concerned. We’re all in a circus, where the ringmasters are crazy and most of the audience is still asleep or drugged.

I just turned 84 last Saturday, and I’m still discovering new resources as a writer.

Thank you for your support. I hope more of you will go to my substack page and kick in a few bucks for a subscription.

LANGUAGE and STORY aren’t dead yet. I’m shooting them out there and expanding them with no limit.

A long time ago, I learned that when somebody says SURRENDER, you say NO DICE and you keep pushing, no matter what.

That’s what I’m doing.

Podcast: The Great Tradition of Imagination

And what it means for you, the individual, now

And for the next 10,000 years of Earth Culture

by Jon Rappoport

April 12, 2022

(To join our email list, click here.)

My new podcast, THE GREAT TRADITION OF IMAGINATION, is now up at my substack page. You can go there and listen to it.

This podcast is 30 years in the making. It’s filled with personal stories that illustrate the Great Tradition; as well as my research on the subject that actually began in 1961, in New York.

At that time, I was working with an extraordinary healer, Richard Jenkins, whom I write about in my book, The Secret behind Secret Societies. Richard was a key figure in pointing me to breakthroughs about imagination and what they meant.

For the past few thousand years, Earth Culture has done everything in its power to downplay and bury and distort the power of imagination.

This is more than an elite operation. It’s an effort of the rational mind to take charge of ALL aspects of life, under the assumption that there is no other way for humans to survive.

To say this is a “mistake” is like saying failing to eat food or breathe air is a mere mistake. The vast overreach of the rational mind has imposed incredible limits on the individual human being.

The truth is, the individual certainly does need the rational logical mind; it is essential; BUT it is not everything. Left to its own devices, without a “partner,” it eventually becomes destructive—because it comes to resemble a Machine.

And humans have an astounding ability not to notice they are beginning to think and act like machines, in patterned and repetitive ways.

But when humans finally open the door wide to their own imaginations, the whole basis of living shifts.

Given its unlimited space, imagination is another kind of breathing. We don’t stop and question our intake and exhale of air. And when we begin to navigate life through and by imagination, we don’t question that, either. It’s a FACT, as natural as any physiological process.

Except when imagination is in full play, the LEVEL of living and experiencing and pursuing our desires rises.

Unlike other cultural traditions recorded in the history books and taught in schools, the Tradition of Imagination has never been recorded or taught.

And it doesn’t exist in groups. It exists in individuals, in every area and country, down through time.

The Tradition of Imagination isn’t borrowed or stolen or bought. It is alive, potentially, in every individual. It’s never too late to wake it up.

Over the years, I’ve often written, “Every individual is an artist of Reality.” In my new podcast, I have a lot to say about what that means, and the extraordinary “distances” it can travel.

Everything I’ve written over the past 30 years has had three motives.

One: Expose and attack the crimes of the cartels and their elites who are trying to run this world.

Two: Expose the absurd and destructive Culture that is spreading across the world.

And three: Clear away, and put to the side, all this insanity and show what a real Culture would look like, when that Culture IS THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE POWER OF HIS IMAGINATION IN ACTION.

I always come back to the individual and I always will.

I hope you’ll go to substack and listen to my new podcast.

Podcast: The Real Technocratic Experiment On Earth

And the Counter-Experiment

by Jon Rappoport

April 5, 2022

(To join our email list, click here.)

This podcast has been percolating for several years. I finally recorded it and posted it. I hope you’ll listen to it at my new substack page.

It dives deep into the real intent of the technocracy’s biological experiments:

TRANSGENDERISM; GENETIC ALTERATION; THE BRAIN-COMPUTER MERGE.

I contrast these experiments with a hidden thread of history that no one has covered: THE TRADITION OF IMAGINATION.

In the area of genetics, we know that researchers are pioneering ways to change human biology. The most public strategy is the RNA COVID “vaccine.”

But behind the scenes, much more adventurous experimentation is proceeding. For example, the creation of a new caste system, whereby genetic programming would doom humans to live out their lives with varying degrees of diminished intelligence. Outfitting them to work in what amounts to a slave society.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have the utopian promises of higher consciousness, achieved by the merging of brains and computers. The brain, it’s said, will be able to download extraordinary amounts of knowledge and “insight.”

There are plans afoot to use 5G technology as the gateway into “sensory immersion.” Virtual experiences in which the user can touch, taste, smell, see, and hear what is going on at any locale on the planet.

In my podcast, I drill to the bottom of these and other experiments aimed at the takeover of humanity. What are the technocrats really thinking? What limits their minds?

And most important of all—what is the other side of that coin? What do free and independent individuals do with their imaginations, on their own? What paths do they explore? What paths have they explored since the beginning of time?

This podcast casts aside all the limits that have been imposed on history by historians and pseudo-scientists, who tinker with various scenarios and wind up nowhere.

Every individual is unique, if he would see it. And with freedom and imagination, his potential is unlimited.

In the podcast, I tell personal stories that illustrate something about the path I’ve taken—not to suggest it is anyone else’s road, but to show what can happen when the individual cuts loose from the framework and context of society and moves out on his own.

Technocracy IS the framework and context of society, updated with technology which is aimed at “taming” us and making us forget what we can achieve and know.

THIS is the war.

It is a war of building false cultures, tearing them down, and building new ones, over centuries. It is the unwritten story of Earth Culture, which has been designed to convince us to argue over minor differences in spaces with low ceilings.

Whereas, the truth is: there is no ceiling. Each one of us can climb higher and farther than any technocrat has ever dreamed.

I hope you’ll listen to the podcast. I made it to inform and challenge anybody and everybody, and to re-inspire myself.

Self is vital. Self is utterly unique.

In society, we’re all supposed to be the same. The. Same. Sharing. Good. Little. Neutral. Children.

But we’re not.

I don’t want to blow part of that societal myth away. I want to blow it all away. Because what we see then is truly extraordinary. It’s what we see in the greatest dreams we’ve ever had.

To My Readers: What I’m doing now and why

by Jon Rappoport

March 28, 2022

(To join our email list, click here.)

Dear Reader,

Basically, I’m making a lot of moves right now. As I mentioned last week, my new substack blog has launched. Go have a look. It takes no prisoners.

Soon, I’ll be posting audios there, as well as articles.

About a year ago, it occurred to me that I was keeping the lid on a lot of issues that were making my blood boil. I was putting them aside because of the COVID insanity.

I’ve written over 450 articles on that boggling scam and the death march it’s enabled.

And then it occurred to me that, despite the fact I’ve posted articles here at NoMoreFakeNews almost every day for 21 years—that’s right—I’ve ignored subjects that interested and excited and motivated and outraged me.

So why not go all out?

As a friend once told me (dozens of times): A WRITER WRITES.

So that’s what I’m doing now—on three blogs all at once. NoMoreFakeNews, OutsideTheRealityMachine, and Jon Rappoport on substack.

But even that isn’t enough. There is flesh and blood experience that fits very well with audio. Spoken narrative.

Things I think of in the middle of the night that spin themselves out into stories. Which need a storyteller.

For example: my research on HIV in the 1980s and 90s. There were so many characters and situations and intrigues. I published my book, AIDS INC. in 1988, but I could have written another book about my experiences while writing AIDS INC. The journalists and scientists and politicians of all different types I met and spoke with. The good, the bad, the ugly. How I stumbled into my method of research—which has paid off to this day.

There are a dozen other books I could write (but storytelling is better) about MANY medical-political scandals I’ve uncovered over the past 30 years. I’ve already published the details of the scandals. I’m talking about the people, the heroes, the crazies, the criminals I met along the way.

Because that’s part of work and LIFE. It opens up new dimensions. It rarely gets to breathe out in the open. But it should.

I’ve written a great deal about art and imagination. But inside that are the many artists I’ve known. Who they were, what they were doing, and why.

And then there is the boundless future ahead. I’ve written about that, too. But there is more to say—including experiences I’ve had that gave me clues and insights and presumptions and a view of time that opened closed doors.

I have interests that many people don’t share. For instance, sports and television. They’re both absurd farces. But they’re also something else. In my life, I’ve known far more athletes than artists. I was once an athlete myself. I know what makes these people tick. I admire athletes I’ve known. They were ALIVE.

All in all, ALIVE is good. Knowing it, sensing it along whatever roads it travels makes us better. It keeps us from closing down, from narrowing our focus to the point where we think we know all there is to know.

I’ve been rebelling and at war since I was 17. I’m 83 now. Rebellion has served me well. Bypassing and refusing possibilities of lucrative careers have served me well. Rebellion has enabled me to CREATE on my own terms.

Which, quite possibly, was my objective all along.

So that’s what I continue to do.

I like beginnings.

This is one.

As always, many thanks for your continuing support and interest.

–Jon

Update: You’ll see my first podcast pop up on my substack page tomorrow. It’s my personal story behind the story, about a few of the key figures in the HIV wars of the 1980s and 90s—especially Peter Duesberg, the biologist who took on the entire medical research colossus single-handedly. I knew Peter. He reminded me of one of my childhood heroes, Jack London’s Martin Eden.

The podcast is also about sharp turns in life—key moments when I found gold in unexpected places…from unexpected people…outsiders I never knew existed.

Another Major Announcement from Jon

by Jon Rappoport

March 22, 2022

(To join our email list, click here.)

Well everybody, this one has been in the planning stage for a while.

Finally, the day is here.

I’m adding a THIRD BLOG! And this one is on substack.

Here is the link.

It’s live right now.

Go over, check it out, and read.

My work over there…how to describe it? Let’s call it raw commentary on the Culture. Which means anything and everything is fair game. Television, sports, politics, art, big cities, the Wild West, rabid consumerism, censorship by idiots, media, news, and whatever else I can think of that interests me on a given day.

The subjects are different from the ones I take up here at NoMoreFakeNews or at OutsideTheRealityMachine. And the writing is…more extreme.

My aim at substack—just like the current 2 blogs—is five new articles a week, every week.

That means I’ll be busier than ever.

That’s all right with me. I’m excited.

Looking back over the past few years, I see that I’ve put certain—what should I call them—writer’s impulses—off to the side, on the shelf, in order to focus on events that have been surrounding all of us.

But then it occurred to me that I could “do everything at once.”

Why not?

So that’s what this is about. All 3 blogs cooking at the same time.

At substack, I’ll be blowing the doors off “a whole lot of rooms in the house that are supposed to stay quiet and empty”—but now they’ll be filled with energy and surprises. What’s called CULTURE is supposed to be approached with some sort of dry intellectual concern.

Which is exactly the opposite of what I’ll be doing.

Check it out.

Thanks for all your support.

–Jon

I’m adding another blog: Major Announcement

by Jon Rappoport

March 8, 2022

(To join our email list, click here.)

Something new!

For the past 21 years, with very few exceptions, I’ve been writing and publishing articles every day at NoMoreFakeNews.

Several years ago, I opened up one more blog, OUTSIDE THE REALITY MACHINE. After a short period, I stopped writing it. But now, I’m opening it up again.

I’ll be writing and publishing articles there five days a week, in addition to what I’m doing at NoMoreFakeNews.

The new blog is already launched. Here’s the link, and here’s the sign-up to get on the email list. If you’re already on the list, articles will start showing up in your inbox.

What’s the new blog about? “Outside the Reality Machine” should give you a clue.

For the most part, these new pieces will explore creative power, imagination, art, and an open future in which freedom prevails. Beyond habitual, programmed, tired reality.

Beyond mind control and fake consensus. Beyond limitations of a Machine Civilization. In other words, the opposite of technocracy.

Beyond the limits individuals impose on themselves.

Also, beyond logic.

Logic is THE tool for analyzing “things as they are.” It’s indispensable for taking apart and understanding structures. It’s essential for breaking up propaganda.

But it’s not the end-all and be-all. There is logic, and there is imagination. Imagination is the gateway into the impossible made real.

And when you explore THAT, whole new universes swim into view.

In OUTSIDE THE REALITY MACHINE, I’ll be taking the gloves off and “going there.” In different ways, along different roads, and with different approaches to the writing itself.

I’m not getting on one flying horse. I’m getting on a number of different ones.

Why? I could write on that subject for a year. The basic answer is: to take the ceiling off limits.

I don’t believe in one open unlimited future. I believe in many simultaneous unlimited futures, side by side.

I believe in the individual, who creates futures.

The individual, free, pursuing his greatest vision.

Every individual, an artist of reality.

I hope you’ll explore OUTSIDE THE REALITY MACHINE.

MY BLOG IS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN!

by Jon Rappoport

July 17, 2019

(To join our email list, click here.)

MANY THANKS FOR THE EXCEEDING GENEROSITY AND EXPERT HELP OF INFOWARS.COM AND ALEX JONES: MY BLOG IS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN.

The WordPress establishment did not given me a specific reason for taking the blog down two months ago, and they played no part in restoring it. Therefore, they remain a bastion of censorship.

Thanks to you all for your support during this period.

Note: If you are a blogger and have linked to articles of mine in the past and you wish to fix the broken links…

Then, in the articles of mine that you’ve linked to, simply replace…

…the “https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com” part…

…with “https://blog.nomorefakenews.com”.

Example:

FROM:

https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2019/04/15/toxic-aluminum-in-vaccines/

TO:

https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2019/04/15/toxic-aluminum-in-vaccines/

The only way censors find a sense of power is by closing other people down. That’s their work, and that’s their life. It’s truly pathetic. Their biggest fear is FREEDOM. They react to it as the vampire does to sunlight.

The rest of us grow through freedom.

To my beloved wife, Laura Thompson (1952-2019)

by Jon Rappoport

June 27, 2019

Laura,

—For now…moved to write just a few more words, after so many, before I retire for the night—

I wish I could have taken you in my arms and healed you of all pain in a few seconds, once and for all.

I hope and believe you are now free from pain, and are happy and joyous—your true and glorious nature.

I was your love, I am your love, and I will always be your love.

You are with me now. There will be a day when we are in our little cottage together. Then we will have an even greater appreciation of eternity.

Your adoring husband,

Jon

Second Poem on the Passing of My Wife

Laura Thompson, 1952-2019

by Jon Rappoport

April 25, 2019

(To join our email list, click here.)

I lift the cover on the night,
And find you there,
In your whole beauty.
That is the place I meant,
The charm of your new cottage in a valley,
When I made my promise to you,
When I was alone, lost in yearning.

Married again now, showers of magnolia;
I move to know what you know.
You strove to cure me, even as you were fading from Earth.
I gently lift the cover on the night,
And find you there,
In your whole beauty.
My darling.

My work as Teacher

by Jon Rappoport

April 22, 2019

(To join our email list, click here.)

Over the course of several decades, it’s occurred to me, with increasing certainty, that I am occupying the role of teacher.

Believe me, this was not something I actively sought or planned. But it was unavoidable, given the fact that I was following my own advice: SHAPE YOUR BEST VISION OF LIFE, AND THEN ACHIEVE IT, MAKE IT REAL IN THE WORLD.

My vision involved the power of imagining and creating new realities, and speaking and writing about this path; in the work, I was reaching out to large numbers of people; and in doing so, I was teaching. So be it.

My most complete accomplishment, by far, has been my three Matrix explorations: THE MATRIX REVEALED, EXIT FROM THE MATRIX, and POWER OUTSIDE THE MATRIX.

It is crystal clear to me that my job is not the imposing of a particular reality on people. I work to give the individual more power to shape his own best vision and then achieve it. This, of course, includes the reshaping and widening and changing of the original vision as time passes and experience is gained.

I assume, as a fundamental, that every person has more capability and creative power than he knows. He can access it, and he can keep finding new levels of it. The individual WANTS to be more creative and free.

On the other hand, society and civilization always return to structure and organization. They deal in groups, populations, masses of people. They attract those who want to plan the collective future as if it were a board game filled with inanimate pieces. When this overall strategy reaches a peak of oppressive interference, the society declines and collapses.

As a corrective fix, re-establishing freedom and independence of the individual, as a social principle, can certainly help, but the deeper fix involves the individual himself. He finds and asserts his own freedom and independence—and then he discovers/creates a vision of a new life and seeks to make it fact in the world.

THINGS AS THEY ARE around us exert a tremendous amount of convincing conclusion: THIS IS IT, THIS IS THE ONLY REALITY, LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT, ADAPT EVERYTHING YOU DO TO THINGS AS THEY ARE. Families, groups, organizations, companies, governments support this “single-reality” fantasy to the hilt.

However, the individual experiences a nagging and reoccurring thought—WHAT IF THE APPARENT EMPIRE OF THE SINGLE ALL-EMBRACING COLLECTIVE REALITY IS A FANTASY? WHAT IF WITHIN ME I HOLD THE KEYS TO INVENTING UNLIMITED NEW REALITIES?

These points were driven home to me with indelible force during one year of my life —1962—when I was painting on canvas, paper, board, wood, and anything else I could find, day and night. In fact, every article, book, seminar, lecture, and Matrix product I have authored since then has been an effort to flesh out what I learned in 1962 and “catch up to myself.”

I took a detour with a primitive dip into theoretical physics—the collision of the particle theory of matter with the wave theory. Physicists had settled on a way to avoid a blunt series of contradictions. Taking a utilitarian pragmatic approach, they decided to deploy the particle theory when it was useful, and the wave theory when it was useful. I went in another direction—you could discover/invent an unlimited number of basic theories, each of which could explain a wide swath of collective reality…but more than that, you could also come up with theories that would essentially give birth to brand new non-collective realities—phenomena that were considered paranormal and “broke natural law,” but only for the individual who invented and fleshed out a novel theory…

In other words, REALITY ITSELF was an entirely open proposition, instead of a shared consensus.

In this case, there was no single final reality. That was the myth of myths.

Over centuries and millennia, this meta-myth piled up like banks of clouds over mountain ranges; and then, finally, came the cleansing rain, and the opportunity to strike out in an entirely new direction…
