Podcast: The Wizards of Is; the titanic operation to bury the creative impulse forever and never let it out into the light of day

You may think this has nothing to do with you, but you would be wrong

The entire history of traditional Western philosophy makes no mention of individual creativity—this is called a CLUE

In recent years, I’ve noticed that my articles on the creative impulse, imagination, and innovation have been less popular than my pieces detailing negative conspiracies and ops.

Why is that?

It’s because the total force of the culture and engineered crises have pushed interest in, and consciousness of, creativity down further into the subconscious.

The people I call the Wizards of Is are busy instructing us to focus on nothing more than What Already Exists, rather than what could be invented.

We’re supposed to believe our creative thoughts and actions will have no effect and bear no fruit and provide us with no satisfaction.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

But a sense of weariness and pessimism sap strength and will.

In this podcast, I’m going to blow the cover off that whole mess.

I’ll discuss both past and present: monumental efforts to ignore and censor the role of creativity in human progress; and claims that creativity is something reserved for only the special few.

Suppose the human race is actually a race of artists and inventors? And THAT story has been switched into a false and downgraded picture of our destiny.

“Things are not what they seem” not only applies to current events; it also applies to our minds and our potential.

Listen to this podcast and see if you emerge with new energizing ideas about yourself and your future. After all, any discussion of what’s happening on this planet that LEAVES YOU OUT OF THE EQUATION is a con and a grift of the highest order.

UPDATE: I’ll also comment on the impending World Health Organization pandemic treaty, and the solutions necessary to resist it.

As always, thank you for your support.

In this podcast, I attack, from a number of different angles, the sparse cover story we’re being fed—so I can give you as much information as possible about:

The chemicals.

The spreading danger.

The refusal (so far) of the Biden administration, and the governor of Ohio, to declare a disaster and go all in on supplying aid to the people of East Palestine.

The politics in play.

The lax safety regulations governing the trains.

The giant criminal stupidity involved in transporting the dangerous chemicals.

The choice to burn the vinyl chloride and create a toxic cloud.

The short and long term health effects.

The major media approach to the disaster.

The culpability of the Norfolk Southern Railway.

The railroad car that caught on fire.

The most likely account of how the derailment happened.

Was the accident actually intentional?

The lack of transparency in what we’re being told.

I’m going to give all this to you straight…without distorting evidence to satisfy a prior bias. You’ll know when a vital question still needs an answer, and when I’ve nailed down something big.

DARPA is the Pentagon research agency, where the future meets the present, and not in a good way. In a very bad way.

I’ll present the stunning details of current DARPA nanoparticle projects, under the auspices of the chilling federal BRAIN Initiative.

The human brain is the holy grail of nanoparticle research—as in, how to transform that organ into something “new and different.”

I’ll describe not only the research, but also how civilization got to this point.

How we got here happens to be VERY important, because the REAL progress of the human race throughout history is on now the chopping block.

And history itself is ending. The new world being made for us doesn’t need and doesn’t want history.

DARPA is a key agency making the new world. It has unparalleled autonomy over its own work. It’s a kingdom. It can claim, at the drop of a hat: NATIONAL SECURITY, NO ACCESS ALOWED.

That’s not what any sane person wants to hear from labs where super-tiny particles and brains are the games.

I’ll be discussing my investigation of US organic meat. I’m narrowing in on that subject, about which many people have misconceptions. I want to examine “the cleanest meat” with reference to specific key questions, which impact on personal health:

Are there tiny toxic nanoparticles in organic meat?

Will there be many nanoparticles in organic meat?

What government regulations apply?

Are there vaccines in organic meat? What are the implications for conventional meat?

Are there possible pressures on organic livestock farmers to conform to “less than best practices” in raising their animals?

Again, I’m focusing on organic meat and vaccines, because these new RNA nanoparticle injections are going to flood the country and the world. As I warned two years ago:

The rush to get authorization for RNA nanoparticle COVID vaccines was a strategy for opening the door to MANY new such vaccines.

The open medical literature warns of the dangers of nanoparticles in the body.

So how should we assess what’s already happening and will soon happen to “the best of the meat supply?”

There is already at least one huge smoking gun to discuss…and I will.

This is one of the most vital investigations I’ve ever done.

Largely out of view of the public, massive research, production, and use of invisible nanoparticles is transforming our world.

This podcast will feature commentary on Elon Musk and his Neuralink project, nano-robots, gene therapy, manipulated DNA, medical uses of graphene, and the open literature on the dangers of nanoparticles.

In case you’ve forgotten, the massively destructive RNA COVID vaccines ARE deploying injected nanoparticles. That is what the vaccines consist of.

What does the open literature say about the risks and dangers of nanoparticles? I’ll present the evidence.

If you picked out three vast areas of human civilization in 2023—industry, medical production, and scientific lab research—you would find nanotechnology everywhere.

It’s not only the “latest thing.” It has no expiration date. Its tentacles reach far into the future.

But who is controlling the technology?

Who is deciding how far it should go?

Answer: For the most part, the scientists doing the work, because almost no one else understands the technological details.

The fox is minding the hen house.

And the fox is turning human life, and what it means to be human, into something else; something strange, ominous, and EXTERNALLY CONTROLLED.

Controlled, not by large machines clanking their way down Main Street, but by particles no one can see.

I’m going to give you the big picture, and the details, the evidence. And the IMPLICATIONS.

I’m going to make it understandable.

“Understandable” has been my commitment since I started investigating medical science in 1987.

Podcast: Big Psyops in the current political scene, such as: Nuremberg 2.0

Prosecuting Fauci; “gain of function”; letting psychopaths off the hook—and, on the other hand, the very real Operation Paperclip 2.0, the biggest cluster of current designs for enslavement on the planet

Plus, should DeSantis run for President? Is that a losing proposition with a major downside?

And why I wrote the “I am the President” series, and the vital role of fiction in making reality more real

This is a jumbo podcast, covering a number of key issues and the solutions that are being pushed. The solutions have merit in theory, but THE WAY THEY’RE BEING FRAMED makes them into limited hangouts:

A small corner of truth is thrust into the foreground to pacify and satisfy the public AND the “alt. community.”

Meanwhile, the biggest crimes are downgraded and minimized—meaning we’re still vulnerable. And nothing is really learned.

Not only that, major predators are still free to roam the world and enact their vicious and destructive operations, including mass medical murder.

I take a hard look, in depth, at how the “spear of the resistance” against tyranny is being pointed in the wrong direction.

I describe what a REAL Nuremberg 2.0 trial would look like. In practical terms.

I also discuss the political futures of Governor Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump. What are DeSantis’ best moves? What should happen to Trump?

What can we really expect from the Republicans who now control the House by a narrow margin? Will we just be treated to political theater?

Finally, I’ll dig into “Operation Paperclip 2.0,” the cluster of actual plans to move us into technological slavery—miles beyond any concern about new “pandemics.” In other words, the true intentions of the scientific global elite.

I’m bringing 35 years of experience investigating and writing about deep politics. I’ll talk about WHAT’S REALLY POSSIBLE, in terms of change in the structure of this rabid “democracy.”

Let’s not be fooled, AGAIN.

In this podcast, I’m going to connect ALL the following dots in ways they’ve never been (but should be) connected:

The “Age of Information”;

Genetic Modification;

Transgenderism and Transhumanism meet;

Fake mental disorders;

The transgender/medical/industrial complex;

Billionaire funding;

Pedophiles;

Technocracy and the Brave New World;

And last, but far from least, an intentional pattern of psychological ops that proceeds from the commission of outrageous crimes, to no prosecution, to suppression of public outrage, to public demoralization and sheer passivity.

It’s vital to understand these influences, people, and agendas which are shaping our present and future.

I’ll lay out an overview which puts many details into perspective.

35 years ago, I started warning people that the medical cartel was, long-term, the most dangerous cartel in the world. If definitive proof was needed, COVID provided it. Now, the medical cartel is playing a key role in the transgender/transhumanist revolution, and the danger is magnified.

FREE Podcast: THE REVOLT IN CHINA: What It means

How the chief propagandists are trying to derail the story and kill it

by Jon Rappoport

November 30, 2022

(To join our email list, click here.)

I hope you’ll join me in this revealing podcast (link below) and send it to your friends.

This is one of my free podcasts. Anybody can listen to it. And so I make a pitch. Subscribe to my substack.

Miles and tons of original information and actual writing — in the form of podcasts and many, many, many articles.

And I dare say and go out on a limb to say, that, as a subscriber, some of this information — just as pure information that you’ll be getting, you can’t get anywhere else; and, definitely the way you’re getting it from me, you can’t get anywhere else — because writing is something; it’s a thing. It exists. It’s existed for a long time.

I’ve been doing writing for a long time, 67 years. I know what it is. That’s what I do. It’s not the same thing as ‘content provider’. It’s not the same thing as ‘here are data’. Yes, I do that too. I know all about that. But I’m a writer. That’s something entirely different.

Writers may be a dying species — I don’t know — but I practice the art form every day, and you’ll see that at my substack. So jump in and subscribe.

Those who purchase a yearly subscription ($60) receive access to additional writings and podcasts of mine — on my private substack exclusively for yearly subscribers — “Jon Rappoport 2”. A yearly subscription is roughly the price, if you’re lucky, of one tank of Biden Gas in your car.

Okay, that’s my pitch.

THE REVOLT IN CHINA: What It Means

How the chief propagandists are trying to derail the story and kill it

We’re on the cusp of potentially enormous changes.

China, the great superpower, is experiencing a human earthquake at its roots.

The revolt in China has huge implications for the West and the world — unless we’re convinced to pass it off like a car crash on a highway thousands of miles away. China’s version of fake COVID science has resulted in enormous blowback; they’re building the tightest Surveillance State on Earth and now huge cracks are showing.

Actions have consequences. For decades, the Chinese regime has been trying to avoid what’s coming to them. We in the West have been treated to outrageous propaganda designed to show us that China “is doing quite well with its model.”

The truth is, their COVID restrictions have imposed a new and even more frightening version of their police state.

And those restrictions have gained widespread support from Western elites!

The last thing these elite globalists want now is EXPOSURE. Exposure for praising and trying to copy the Chinese “model” of slavery in the West.

That EXPOSURE is EXACTLY what can happen now.

Because the Chinese people are sending a message to the world. They’re saying, “What our leaders are doing has nothing to do with health or protecting us from harm. They’re building a Brave New World, and to them we’re the guinea pigs who fit into assigned slots. Don’t fall for the con.”

And globalist leaders in the West, who have been supporting China’s Brave New World, are trembling.

Buckle up and listen to this podcast.

Podcast: The War against the Woke Mob

Assessing their battle plan, their strengths and weaknesses; the economy is the key; what’s their business model; what’s our business model; how can money be turned into a revolution that Your Highest Principles wouldn’t mind?

by Jon Rappoport

(To join our email list, click here.)

If you’re an entrepreneur, tough, smart, ambitious, and you care about the destruction of civilization, you’ll find this podcast quite interesting.

If you’re not, you’ll still find it interesting.

I’m going to talk about certain irreducible eternal facts of economic life, and how we can turn them to our advantage in the war against the wokies.

They have sensational weaknesses, apart from their central core of stupidity. Clue: if they weren’t weak, they wouldn’t scream so much.

We really aren’t up against geniuses.

Part of our team’s problem is we’ve become unimaginative about the issue of money. Newsflash: it can be useful for a revolution in unexpected ways.

Another newsflash: an entrepreneur doesn’t necessarily start out with money. But he can get some. Where? From people who already have it.

I know. Mind-boggling, right?

Money isn’t the root of all evil. The love of money might be. But leveraging money to shift the balance of power toward more freedom and away from tyranny would be a very good thing.

I’ll explain it all in the podcast. I hope you’ll join me and think it through.

FREE Podcast: Why Do I Spend My Time Fighting All This Bullshit?

Or, Have We Reached Paradise Yet with the Rainbows and Marshmallows?

Anyone can listen. You don’t have to be a subscriber.

by Jon Rappoport

October 25, 2022

(To join our email list, click here.)

Let me briefly cover the warm part first. You have no idea (or maybe you do) what it means for a writer to have an audience like this. Like you. People who want to read. Who show up. Who hang in there over time.

The word “appreciate” doesn’t begin to explain it. I salute and thank you. You’re like—very much like—an old friend—who comes to the house one day out of nowhere. VERY GLAD TO SEE YOU.

That’s prime number one. What follows is a longer explanation of the second thing.

On this podcast, I’ll be talking about why I keep writing at age 84, why I never fell for opportunities to write for the mainstream, why I stayed independent for the past 40 years, why I’ve been writing every day online for the past 22 years, and what it means to STAY INDEPENDENT.

Part of what’s happening in this culture is the silencing of independent voices. The voices who aren’t going along with the show, with the people in control.

Even in so-called alternative media today, there are rules. There are subjects writers aren’t supposed to touch. Why? Because the publishers are afraid of losing their audiences.

They’re CALCULATING how far they can go. They’re profiling their audiences and considering the topics that will fly and those that won’t.

They’re worried about pushback.

They’ve built a certain piece of turf and they want to protect it.

And this doesn’t just go for the permitted SUBJECTS of writing. It also goes for the permitted STYLES of writing.

“We can’t publish this piece. Our readers will object. They’ll be offended.”

Yeah, I understand that. I’ve been ignoring it for a long time.

For decades, I’ve been building my own outpost, my own island, my own media operation, my own independent place, come what may.

Because it was necessary, if I was going to keep writing, and keep writing the way I wanted to.

And along the way, I’ve been encouraging other writers to do the same.

ACTUAL writers are strange. They don’t go along to get along. Far worse, they’re always probing to find new ways of writing. They don’t stay the same. They HAVE TO keep looking for THE NEW. Otherwise, they’ll bore themselves to death.

That’s not a curse. It’s not some kind of victim back-story. It’s the plain truth.

This search for something new, something More, gives readers a different and unique experience. It may or may not be the kind of experience some readers want.

But the writer isn’t pandering to an audience.

I’m not cultivating you. I’m not tending to you like a garden. I’m not figuring all the possible angles when I write a piece. I’m not asking myself whether you’ll accept what I’m saying or the way I’m saying it.

If I were doing that, if that was the road I’d been walking all this time, I would have cut out long ago and gone to work for a major newspaper and worked my way up the line. By now I’d be a standard asshole who retired. I’d be seeing my doctor for various conditions. I’d be reminiscing with friends about days of yore and clucking about how odd the current culture is.

I never was on that road.

And when the road I HAD chosen became too predictable, I started a new one.

This one, here on substack, is a new one.

As I say, your support for my work is much appreciated. But I’m not tailoring my work to get that support. I’m not fishing in that water.

If you support what I’m doing, it’s because you want to. Which makes it all the better.

I’m at war with this culture. On all sorts of levels. I could mask that, hide it, pretend I’m doing something else, try to make things more comfortable, try to sound like a NY Times reporter who just happens to be covering subjects in a different way. I could be sober and self-contained and palatable.

But then I wouldn’t be WRITING. Not in my own eyes.

See, this is what I mean by INDEPENDENT. People use that word, but is it what they really want? Or do they want a pale shadow of it?

A long time ago, I wrote something like this: People want to make magic, but otherwise they want to stay exactly the same in their lives, but that’s impossible.

So I take the word INDEPENDENT very seriously. I keep taking it further.

When I read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, I see INDEPENDENT and UNIQUE and INDIVIDUAL in extreme ways. As THEY WERE MEANT.

A culture is supposed to contain MANY, MANY individuals who are very different from each other. The culture is not supposed to embody freedom while at the same everybody embodies the same basic attitudes. That’s a fantasy. That isn’t freedom. That’s lip service. That’s fear of people who are genuinely different.

This culture is based on fear.

As I’ve been saying for many years, REALITY IS A CON.

It’s built to suck people in.

To give them all the same spiritual haircut.

Part of my decision to become a writer was based on my refusal to take the haircut. No matter what.

If you want to read what that’s like, what that comes out to, for one man who is a writer, you’re in the right place.

I’m going to talk about all this on the podcast. And more.

You’re cordially invited.
