THE NATURE OF MAN

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Candide: or, The Optimist (1762)  It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply “optimism”) by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide’s slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, “we must cultivate our garden”, in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, “all is for the best” in the “best of all possible worlds”.

Candide is characterised by its sarcastic tone as well as by its erratic, fantastical and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel with a story similar to that of a more serious Bildungsroman, it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years’ War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire’s day contended with the problem of evil, so too does Candide in this short novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory; most conspicuously, he assaults Leibniz and his optimism.

François-Marie Arouet (French: 21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and separation of church and state. Voltaire was a versatile writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets. He was an outspoken advocate of several liberties, despite the risk this placed him in under the strict censorship laws of the time. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day.

Maurits Cornelis Escher (17 June 1898 – 27 March 1972), usually referred to as M. C. Escher, was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. These feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessellations.

A HISTORY OF POWER: MANAGING CONFLICT

These interviews were given during the 70s and 80 by Anthony Sutton.  The information he gives has proven to be entirely accurate in the context of events over the decade since.  For those who are interested in discovering documented study of the behind the manipulation of world governments by bankers, (Rockefeller, et.al.), corporations and secret societies, here are several interviews with Anthony Sutton discussing his scholastic investigation at The Hoover Institute and Stanford into the participation of banks and corporations in the support of international conflict. Also reveals the details behind activities of The Skull and Bones, Wall Street promotion of Socialism, the Trilateral Commission, and other topics related to the hidden influences of secret government, i.e. Bankers and Corporations.  The funding of Hitler and the Soviet Union, the North Vietnamese, and other enemies is revealed. The charade of politics is exposed as an application of the “dialectic process” by “managing conflict” by the international financial interests to create global power for a few private persons.  This includes the current “conflict” in the Middle East.

This is a classic and revolutionary book, written in 1970 by John Alva Keel, (March 25, 1930 – July 3, 2009) an American journalist and influential UFOlogist who is best known as author of The Mothman Prophecies.  (Source:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Keel )  His research seems to verify much of the information published in the book ALIEN INTERVIEW.   The following excerpts are taken from the final chapter of the book, “Operation Trojan Horse“.   May our point of view about “aliens” never again be what Hollywood imagines it to be….

NEURALIZER: INSTANT AMNESIA WEAPON

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

If you were told that there is a fast, painless way to “forget everything”, would you be interested?

A neuralizer, is a “fictional” device seen in the Men in Black films. It is one of the signature tools and considered standard issue employed by the Men in Black. It is a device about the size of an average cigar tube that gives a bright flash which erases the memories of the past hours, days, weeks, months or years, depending on the chosen settings.

A neuralyzer wipes the memory of a target or witness, putting them under a hypnotic state, making them susceptible to suggestion and implantation of false memories. The length of memory erased can be changed using buttons and dials. There are different neuralyzer models with different button and dial configurations. These buttons or dials can be set accordingly to the amount of time needed to be forgotten. The device produces a noisy, camera-like flash. The agents implant new memories in place of the old ones.

Some experts report that the neuralyzer has a chance of being built in real life. Emotional contact like traumatizing events can be erased, much easier than other memories. Light flashes erasing memories are plausible. Experts say that brain cells can be knocked out or killed by light, perfectly erasing those memories.  Sundance Channel ranked “the Neuralizer” as Number 4 on its list of “Top 10 Film Inventions We Wish Were Real”.  “The uses of eliminating someone’s memories are endless, especially if you are prone to screwing up a lot.”  MSN ranks it as “The greatest fictional inventions of all time.” —  Wikipedia.org

PYRAMIDS, TESLA AND LASERS, OH MY!

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Have you ever wondered what we could do if electricity was free and in unlimited supply?  Have you ever wondered why the the “powers that be” have suppressed the use of such technology, which now exist in abundance? We could live in a paradise.  Instead, we live in a world controlled by Banksters and Oil Companies.  Here are a few demonstrations of how to create an inexhaustible supply of free energy.

LASER PYRAMID POWER

It has been demonstrated that the pyramids produced electricity and other forces in that ALL 80 Egyptian pyramids.  All of them are built using the principle of a CHEMICAL LASER, which uses relatively simple interaction of chemicals to produce energy in the form of laser and electric energies.  The water of the Nile was infused electrically with electromagnetic energy which was used as “food”, which the Greek historian Herodotus called “Luster Water” and was carried only in amphora containers to prevent electrical discharge by contact with the ground.  Today there are over 2,000 patents on chemical lasers in the U.S..  For research, photographs and much more information about the technology used, visit the following website of James E. Brown: http://earthmilkancientenergy.com/ch13.htm

TESLA TOWER POWER

The same technology was developed and built on a small scale called the Wardenclyffe Tower, also known as the Tesla Tower, which began construction in 1901. This was an early wireless transmission station designed by Nikola Tesla in Shoreham, New York and intended for commercial trans-Atlantic wireless telephony, broadcasting, and proof-of-concept demonstrations of wireless power transmission.

Below is a video that briefly demonstrates that the ancient pyramids of Egypt were electric power generators and wireless power transmitters. They harnessed electromagnetic forces from underground water (supplied by the Nile River) and conducted through the atmosphere.

Another excellent source of information about the use of pyramids to generate power is described in great detail in the book by Christopher Dunn, “THE GIZA POWER PLANT”, which uses the technology of harmonic resonance. In a brilliant piece of reverse engineering based on twenty years of research, Dunn reveals that the Great Pyramid of Giza was actually a large acoustical device! By its size and dimensions, this crystal edifice created a harmonic resonance with the Earth and converted Earth’s vibrational energies to microwave radiation. The author shows how the pyramid’s numerous chambers and passageways were positioned with the deliberate precision to maximize its acoustical qualities. This may be the same technology discovered by Nikola Tesla and the solution to our own clean energy needs.

WARNINGS FROM THE FOUNDING FATHERS

America’s founders were rightfully skeptical of granting too much power to bankers. Thomas Jefferson said, “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

President George Washington said, “Paper money has had the effect in your State [Rhode Island] that it ever will have, to ruin commerce–oppress the honest, and open the door to every species of fraud and injustice.”

President Thomas Jefferson also believed that “banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”

Daniel Webster warned, “Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effectual than that which deludes them with paper money. We are in danger of being overwhelmed with irredeemable paper, mere paper, representing not gold nor silver; no, Sir, representing nothing but broken promises, bad faith, bankrupt corporations, cheated creditors, and a ruined people.”

 

THE FUTURE

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt  — October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) was an American politician, diplomat, and activist. She was the longest-serving First Lady of the United States, holding the post from March 1933 to April 1945 during her husband President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four terms in office.

Though widely respected in her later years, Roosevelt was a controversial First Lady for her outspokenness, particularly her stance on racial issues. She was the first presidential spouse to hold press conferences, write a syndicated newspaper column, and speak at a national convention. On a few occasions, she publicly disagreed with her husband’s policies. She launched an experimental community at Arthurdale, West Virginia, for the families of unemployed miners, later widely regarded as a failure. She advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African Americans and Asian Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees.

Following her husband’s death, Eleanor remained active in politics for the rest of her life. She served as the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights, and oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Later she chaired the John F. Kennedy administration’s Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. By the time of her death, she was regarded as “one of the most esteemed women in the world” and “the object of almost universal respect” — Wikipedia.org
