<p>Ken Rohla is a natural health educator and inventor from New Smyrna Beach, Florida, specializing in rejuvenation and cellular regeneration using raw and sprouted vegetarian food, herbs, food-based natural supplements, detoxification, emotional healing, reprogramming of limiting unconscious beliefs, ancient esoteric techniques, and cutting-edge science. Formally educated in electrical engineering and computer science, Ken worked for 23 years in the medical industry. A tenacious researcher and experimenter, Ken uses and tests everything he recommends to find the most effective solutions for the least amount of money. In this interview, we will go far and wide and discuss how to neutralize radiation, chemtrails, GMOs, EMF, water fuel technology and then get into mind control and ETs.</p>

<p>The Cat’s Diary</p>
<p>Day 983 of My Captivity</p>
<p>My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.</p>
<p>The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a “good little hunter” I am. Bastards!</p>
<p>There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of “allergies.” I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.</p>
<p>Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.</p>
<p>I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now …</p>

<p>[Sir PeaksALot  hits it squarely between the eyes once again! Enjoy a challenging trip down "Just Watch or Do" lane in this insane imposed world indifferently called our "current situation". And take the advice, raise some hell why don't ya? - Zen]<br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vyMhk1CqXG8" height="360" width="480" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>This is a summary of the facts:</p>
<p>(Report) Iceland Did It Right &#8230; And Everyone Else Is Doing It Wrong<br />
n Iceland, the people have made the government resign, the primary banks have been nationalized, it was decided to not pay the debt that these created with Great Britain and Holland due to their bad financial politics, and a public assembly has been created to rewrite<br />
the constitution.<br />
And all of this in a peaceful way. A whole revolution against the powers that have created the current global crisis. This is why there hasn&#8217;t been any publicity during the last two years: What would happen if the rest of the EU citizens took this as an example? What would happen if the US citizens took this as an example.</p>
<p>2008. The main bank of the country is nationalized.<br />
The Krona, the currency of Iceland devaluates and the stock market stops. The country is in bankruptcy</p>
<p>2008. The citizens protest in front of parliament and manage to get new elections that make the resignation of the prime minister and his whole government.<br />
The country is in bad economic situation.<br />
A law proposes paying back the debt to Great Britain and Holland through the payment of 3,500 million euros, which will be paid by the people of Iceland monthly during the next 15 years, with a 5.5% interest.</p>
<p>2010. The people go out in the streets and demand a referendum. In January 2010 the president denies the approval and announces a popular meeting.<br />
In March the referendum and the denial of payment is voted in by 93%. Meanwhile the government has initiated an investigation to bring to justice those responsible for the crisis, and many high level executives and bankers are arrested. The Interpol dictates an order that make all the implicated parties leave the country.</p>
<p>In this crisis an assembly is elected to rewrite a new Constitution which can include the lessons learned from this, and which will substitute the current one (a copy of the Danish Constitution).<br />
25 citizens are chosen, with no political affiliation, out of the 522 candidates. For candidacy all that was needed was to be an adult and have the support of 30 people. The constitutional assembly starts in February of 2011 to present the &#8216;carta magna&#8217; from the recommendations given by the different assemblies happening throughout the country. It must be approved by the current Parliament and by the one constituted through the next legislative elections.</p>
<p>So in summary of the Icelandic revolution:<br />
-resignation of the whole government<br />
-nationalization of the bank.<br />
-referendum so that the people can decide over the economic decisions.<br />
-incarcerating the responsible parties<br />
-rewriting of the constitution by its people</p>
<p>Have we been informed of this through the media?<br />
Has any political program in radio or TV commented on this?<br />
No! The Icelandic people have been able to show that there is a way to beat the system and has given a democracy lesson to the world.</p>

<p>by Zen Gardner</p>
<p>We&#8217;re in the thick of it. My biggest concern? So many have been warned and so few have heeded. You can&#8217;t even count how many seriously weird things are going down, practically all of them carefully designed, and an intoxicated world dutifully falls into line robotically.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the weirdest thing of all.</p>
<p>The engineers we&#8217;re up against are in a very powerful position and are not afraid to use it. Besides the other idiocies transpiring in full frontal view, the <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/survival/2013/05/nbc-news-stock-up-on-canned-goods-2474448.html">MSM</a> now joins the asteroid meme saying,  &#8220;Get canned food, the asteroid is approaching..&#8221;, all while the government says preppers and hoarders are potential terrorists.</p>
<p>Push me, pull me. Typical. The world is such a shitty place to live right now if you listen to these morons&#8217; interpretations and scripted propaganda. But what else can you get during this clampdown?</p>
<p>Everything&#8217;s fear and control propaganda.</p>
<p>Steer clear of it all is my advice. Financial scams, military scare tactics, phoney baloney media plays&#8230;.. stand clear.</p>
<h3>Global Spiritual Martial Law &#8211; Disconnect City</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s fucked up to the core if you look at it honestly. Between EU declarations that you can&#8217;t grow your own seeds, to the UN gun control resolution while governments militarily wreck desired countries and arm extremists worldwide to overthrow their latest Malthusian inspired targets&#8230;<strong>we have a serious disconnect.</strong></p>
<p>When Monsanto gets a free pass to not only deliver worldwide health crippling genetic changes in plant and animal life&#8230;but to even PATENT it&#8230;.AND get governmental protection&#8230;<strong>we have a serious disconnect.</strong></p>
<p>When police are allowed to incarcerate and kill at will any arbitrarily selected &#8220;suspect&#8221; or &#8220;dissident&#8221;, without due process&#8230;.<strong>we have a serious disconnect.</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to the beyond Orwellian global armed drone deployment for not just surveillance, but global almost random murder of untried &#8220;suspects&#8221; anywhere, including in the home countries of these insane &#8220;freedom defending&#8221; devices&#8230;..<strong>we have a serious disconnect.</strong></p>
<p>And there&#8217;s so much more. Damn.</p>
<h3><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13097" alt="illuminatimembers2012" src="http://www.zengardner.com/wp-content/uploads/illuminatimembers2012.jpg" width="640" height="360" /></h3>
<h3>Politics? Bah Humbugger</h3>
<p>Our NeoCon Zionist Masonic Illuminati infested governmental structure, here and elsewhere, is a sick joke on an induced psychotic, sedated humanity. And &#8220;it&#8217;s everywhere you wanna be&#8221;, you can count on it.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t take anything for granted, it ain&#8217;t what you think it is. On top of it, we&#8217;re infiltrated to the core and lied to beyond comprehension. There are people around you that would sell you out for a Big Mac. That&#8217;s the world we&#8217;re &#8220;quantitatively easing&#8221; into, as they like to say.</p>
<p>Surreal. By your permission, mind you dear participant.</p>
<p>And the reason for the big terms, big concepts, &#8220;too big to fail&#8221; and the like? Mega bullshit to carry the unsuspecting MSG/GMO/Aspartame media addicts into the next spiritual torture chamber, something for further indoctrination, breeding, bleeding and seeding.</p>
<p>&#8220;Energy tapping&#8221; if you will. We&#8217;re not really useless eaters, kind of useful feeders.</p>
<p>Sorry, that&#8217;s the ugly truth about this dirty matrix we&#8217;re seeing this temporary full fruition of.</p>
<p>Take it or leave it. But I&#8217;m of a firm conviction that it&#8217;s either get this goddamn lie front and center in your focus and admit it&#8217;s real and do something about it, or it&#8217;s bye bye.</p>
<p>Time to decide.</p>
<h3><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13103" alt="ostrich-head-in-sand" src="http://www.zengardner.com/wp-content/uploads/ostrich-head-in-sand.gif" width="200" height="213" /></h3>
<h3>That&#8217;s the Truth. Now Act&#8230;</h3>
<p>And deal with it responsibly, lovingly, but truthfully.</p>
<p>Just don&#8217;t be another ignorant, unresponsive lump of dead ass unlit coal. There&#8217;s plenty of that around doing no good to anyone including themselves. They think themselves into unresponsive oblivion while thinking they understand.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re reading this I suspect you&#8217;re looking for affirmations of what you already know to be true.</p>
<p>Light it up. Do it.</p>
<p>Act on it. That&#8217;s the key. Never fear. Fear is their vibe, their control mechanism, to induce unquestioning  paralyzing thought and inaction.</p>
<p>Be who you truly are. It&#8217;s that simple. The rest will follow. Simply be you.</p>
<p>Love, Zen</p>

<div>March Against Monsanto</div>
<div></div>
<div>How The March Against Can And Will Change The World</div>
<div></div>
<div>The <a href="http://www.march-against-monsanto.com/" rel="nofollow">March Against Monsanto</a> was started by a handful of millenials with a passion for change, a passion that we all have within us. Many people make the mistake of looking for someone to make change for them when the real change in this world comes from within. The top-down approach for making the world a better place, i.e. electing politicians to do our bidding has come and gone, with little success. There&#8217;s a revolution happening right before our eyes, and before I had the opportunity to help with the world-wide March Against Monsanto, I was largely oblivious to this sea change that is coming. The rules of change, of activism, of consciousness, and of helping people are being rewritten by you and me, one connection at a time. The new revolution of good is coming from the grass-roots and making its way upward; this bottom-up effect is exactly what those who would like to see us silent are afraid of.</div>
<div></div>
<div>This new way of media and activism cannot be controlled by the likes of corporations or governments; these are ideas and they cannot be stopped. This new paradigm shift starts with you, your friends and family, and the way you can connect with people around you; the way information is disseminated makes all the difference in this new paradigm. The mainstream media <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/these-6-corporations-control-90-of-the-media-in-america-2012-6" rel="nofollow">controls 95% of the information </a>  that we see, from television to newspapers, to magazines. This is the top-down technique, where you have no choice but to consume what&#8217;s being served, making for a fickle population that was manipulated by commercials and where money made the major difference between a bill passing or failing, and a politician being elected or losing. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Grouped-groups-friends-influence-social/dp/0321804112" rel="nofollow">new media</a>  is a media of choice, where people can choose to get information on a topic that they choose. What does this mean? This means that a person that participates in the new media is more passionate, better informed, in turn a much more valuable asset to a social movement. These people are well versed in the information, founded in fact, and immune to the manipulation of a mainstream media establishment that is 90% owned by 6 monopolistic corporations. These new activists are warriors for truth and justice, and for those currently controlling the agenda, this can be a scary situation.</div>
<div></div>
<div>You see, the government and corporations are ingrained into the establishment; they&#8217;re comfortable in their positions. This will be their downfall. History and science have shown that the comfortable devolve and the oppressed evolve; struggle is the essence of innovation and of change. This is why good always prevails over bad. The March Against Monsanto has grown beyond my wildest dreams; a few months ago it was just an idea. It has grown into a full blown movement and the people that started it wouldn&#8217;t be able to stop if they wanted. You see, <a href="http://www.march-against-monsanto.com/p/blog-page.html" rel="nofollow">the people</a> have taken over the March, the decentralization has come in a natural way, an intuitive way. Movements can no longer be over-centralized, as <a href="http://hbswk.hbs.edu/archive/4020.html" rel="nofollow">over-centralization</a> is detrimental to any organization, institution, business and government. The new paradigm which is forming will be driven by people who care, not people who care for power. The old idea of inorganic manipulation, which used to be the norm, has fallen to the side in favor of this new movement of information: this new Revolution. Information is spreading in grass-roots, open source fashion, all the old rules are being thrown out.</div>
<div></div>
<div>How the March AgainstMonsanto can and will change the world. The beginning of the Food Revolution.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The March does not and cannot end on May 25, 2013. For many of the participants in the March Against Monsanto, this is their first protest or march that they have ever taken part of. This movement has awakened a very large group of people that care about their food supply and care about other people’s food supply. These courageous marchers have put aside all of their political and ideological differences to stand in solidarity for what is right.</p>
<p>How do we carry on this March Against Monsanto, this new food revolution passed the 25th?</p></div>
<div></div>
<div>Capture the momentum of this movement and harness it at the local level. Keep your local march network alive and growing.</div>
<div></div>
<div>All of the connections that you are making in your local areas, all of the people you are meeting through the organizing, planning, and marching process must be kept active for this march to have a lasting effect. If we just march on the 25th and nothing more, then the movement ends right then and there. Each event page for each local city is full of great contacts, activists, and people that care. Compile these lists, make email lists, start a newsletter, make a local Facebook page and keep the pressure on to continue this fight. Pass around signup sheets at your local marches to collect emails. Even if you don&#8217;t have a plan of action for what to do with the emails you compile, put them into a spread sheet and save them until you figure it out. I recommend that once your march is over on Saturday evening that you change the Date of your local Facebook event to 5/24/14; this will keep the event page up and will make it easier to access your local food revolutionaries. Use open source organizing techniques to lower the burden and to keep your local movement decentralized. Using an open platform will make it easier for your local community and activists to add information into your spread sheets, email lists, and other data rich documents. <a href="http://www.organiclifestylemagazine.com/issue-8/monsanto.php" rel="nofollow">Monsanto</a> is not going away without a fight: They&#8217;ve been around for over 100 years and deeply entrenched in the political establishment of both parties.</div>
<div><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13087" alt="marchcrowds0330_n" src="http://www.zengardner.com/wp-content/uploads/marchcrowds0330_n1.jpg" width="320" height="214" /></div>
<div>After the March, take real steps to improve your food fate locally. Remember that people on a low or fixed income don’t have a choice to eat organic with their given incomes.</div>
<div></div>
<div>It’s not enough to simply tell people to eat organic, or vote for initiatives that will label GMOs. The very first thing you can do is plant your own garden. If you have the space, plant a garden larger than what you need to feed your family and help someone that is less fortunate with some fresh homegrown food from your garden. What if you don’t have a yard to plant in? One option is growing indoors. There is a growing industry of indoor gardeners that are starting to change the way we think about gardening through the use of</div>
<p><a href="http://www.simplyhydro.com/whatis.htm" rel="nofollow">hydroponics</a> . You should be able to find a local hydroponics store near you and get it all set up and growing food for a couple hundred dollars. There are also plenty of online retailers of indoor growing equipment; try Craigslist if you&#8217;re on a tight budget. What if you don’t have a yard and growing indoors in not an option for you? At this point we need to look to our fellow local activists from the March Against Monsanto.</p>
<div></div>
<p><a href="http://communitygarden.org/learn/starting-a-community-garden.php" rel="nofollow">Community gardens</a> are a great way to bring in a fresh and organic food source into an urban area. Find a plot of land that is vacant or belongs to the local city, find out who is on charge of it and get the ball rolling on starting a community garden. Enlist some people that you have met though the march to help you physically, technically, and financially. Look to the local community to <a href="http://www.idealware.org/articles/how-crowdsourcing-can-help-your-nonprofit" rel="nofollow">crowd source labor and resources</a>. If none of these are an option for you, there’s still hope for you within the food revolution. Share cropping is a way of getting some space to grow a garden that you can secure for free or a very low cost. Many <a href="http://www.opb.org/news/blog/ecotrope/urban-sharecropping-and-the-lazy-locavore" rel="nofollow">urban sharecroppers</a> will offer free food from the garden to the land owner in exchange for offering them some space to grow a garden. Share cropping is just like a community garden on a smaller scale. If you live in an area where there are many small yards with space available, think about setting up a sharecropping co-op where food can be traded and shared for little or no money. Always remember that the low income community is at the highest risk of GMO and chemical exposure from their food. Look into new technologies and techniques when setting up your new gardens. <a href="http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/vertical-gardening-zm0z10zhun.aspx#axzz2U2aB1sOv" rel="nofollow">Vertical gardening</a>is great way to maximize limited space a make your garden virtually maintenance free. There’s an ancient technique of hydroponics that is just being rediscovered and developed: <a href="http://edenaquaponics.com/what-is-aquaponics" rel="nofollow">aquaponics</a>.</div>
<div itemprop="description articleBody"></div>
<div itemprop="description articleBody"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13088" alt="aquaponn_2" src="http://www.zengardner.com/wp-content/uploads/aquaponn_2.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></p>
<div>Aquaponics is arguably the most efficient way to grow organic vegetables…and edible fish at the same time. This technique has been around for hundreds if not thousands of years, but new attention is being brought to aquaponics because of its efficiency and ability to grow both edible fish and vegetation. A <a href="http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2011/08/24/will-allen-and-a-million-pounds-of-organic-food-on-3-acres/" rel="nofollow">Wisconsin man</a> was able to grow over one million pounds of food in one year by utilizing these new and innovative growing techniques.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Activism</div>
<div></div>
<div>There are many forms of activism that we can use to improve our food fate and continue the food revolution. The March Against Monsanto is a perfect example of a mass movement that disseminates information to millions of people, awakening the masses to the injustices of the world. Activism can be done on a much smaller scale and many different ways. As I detailed earlier, the networks are being rebuilt in a new, more just way. Utilize your new local network of activists to keep pressure on local politicians and hold them to their promises. Organize mass emailing and mass calling to their offices when a critical vote is about to be made. Let them hear your voice amplified by your entire network. Build relationships with other activists from other causes, reach out to other interests and help support them, and they will support you. Spreading awareness is key to the food revolution; many people don&#8217;t know what GMOs are, let alone know the negative effects on their health and environment that they cause.</div>
<div>Mobilize your local activist network often and keep them engaged in the community; you are the leaders of this movement! It&#8217;s up to you to let your neighbors know what&#8217;s in their food and how they can make real world progress to take their food back. These techniques can also be replicated on the national and global level, which is why it&#8217;s important for you to <a href="http://www.march-against-monsanto.com/2013/05/subscribe-to-get-march-against-monsanto.html" rel="nofollow">stay connected to the national MAM campaign</a>. We can find and spot things like the <a href="http://www.nationofchange.org/monsanto-protection-act-may-soon-be-repealed-thanks-activism-1369061405" rel="nofollow">Monsanto Protection Act</a> before they are passed into law and put out a call to action to all the local networks to help us get them stopped.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Support alternative media</div>
<div></div>
<div>Remember seeing the warnings about the dangers of the &#8216;Monsanto Protection Act&#8217; on MSNBC and FOX News before it became a law? Me neither. That&#8217;s because there was no warning from the mainstream media; in fact very few have even covered it to this day. We did find out about this bill when it was only a proposal from multiple reports by independent journalists, including <a href="http://www.spreadlibertynews.com/the-organic-review-monsanto-riders-take-over-farm-bill-and-hold-govt-by-a-choker/" rel="nofollow">SpreadLibertyNews on 12/17/12</a>. The pattern that we see from the mainstream is a dangerous one. As I noted earlier, over 90% of the media is owned by 6 companies, and just like Monsanto, these companies have also slipped into bed with the government.</div>
<div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjxFyWqWNIQ" rel="nofollow">Comedians</a> have become the only mainstream media sources that are willing to challenge the establishment&#8217;s political and economic might. Yet pundits like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K4pfiYK2IQ" rel="nofollow">Jon Stewart</a> who have been shown in polls to be more trusted for news than some major news outlets, only bring light to these harmful pieces of legislation after they are already passed into law. This is why supporting and finding alternative news sources is so important: Do you want to find out about harmful legislation before it&#8217;s passed while we still have time to mobilize and try to stop them, or do you want to find out about it on TV when it&#8217;s too late? Find and support independent journalists on sites like <a href="http://theanti-media.org/">TheAnti-Media.org</a> that aggregate news from many diverse sources, find the ones you like and subscribe to their posts.</div>
<div>The mainstream media has major interests in other industries, including military adventurism and yes you guessed it, GMOs. In a <a href="http://www.relfe.com/media_can_legally_lie.html" rel="nofollow">court ruling in 2003</a>, it was determined that news companies can legally lie to their viewers and readers. The case was brought about when two FOX News journalists tried to publish a report about the negative health effects of Monsanto&#8217;s <a href="http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/food/foodsafety/dairy/" rel="nofollow"> bovine growth hormone (BGH)</a> and were subsequently fired when they refused to censor their story to fit FOX&#8217;s agenda. Supporting alternative media is key in decentralizing our supply of unbiased information and getting news from sources that do not have billion-dollar agendas, finding like-minded activists, and keeping the pressure on politicians who seek to only enrich themselves and their corporate lackeys.</div>

<p>[This goes well with the previous post on the influence of technology on our lives and interactions. - Zen]</p>
<p><a href="http://www.earth-heal.com/index.php/news/news/50-the-prison-system/886-5-ways-we-are-isolated.html">Earth-Heal</a></p>
<p>by <a href="http://www.earth-heal.com/PotentNews.com">Amir Alwani</a></p>
<p>Predators must have knowledge about their prey if they are going to be successful hunters.  It is clear that we have been studied and our weaknesses have been exploited in an effort to exhaust us economically, physically and spiritually.  Renowned researcher, <a title="Alan Watt - Groups Vs. The Individual (ASMR version)" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cniNd9ELmbY" target="_blank">Alan Watt</a> goes so far as to state that the perpetrators responsible for this <em>ultimately</em> want to destroy any sense of individuality in us whatsoever.</p>
<p>Regardless of who’s doing the aggression, we can see that there is a war on the individual as we are assaulted on many fronts and are losing our individuality to such an alarming degree, with such intensity and in such a rapid time, that it drastically reduces the likelihood that this is happening by accident.  It seems there are predators who are coercing us and creating an atmosphere ripe for the rotting of minds.  The identity of the predators, while <em>crucial</em>, is controversial<em>, </em>however their actions leave scars that are less debatable and if we can agree on what those are, we can perhaps have an easier time building a consensus about what is happening in general and what we can do about it.  That said, it’s not very difficult to agree on what those scars are.  They’re in front of our faces all the time.</p>
<p>For instance, many people today are drugged up on pharmaceutical medication and lost in their smart-phones/i-pads with very little intuition or common sense remaining, not to mention extremely diminished critical thinking skills.  People simply can’t think.  People in the US seem to be having an even harder time thinking.  A recent article titled “<em><a href="http://potentnews.com/2013/04/26/america-1-in-fear-stress-anger-divorce-obesity-anti-depressants-etc/" target="_blank">America #1: In Fear, Stress, Anger, Divorce, Obesity, Anti-Depressants, Etc.</a></em>” illustrates the effects of Americans’ actions and/or non-actions and is not surprising given the lack of ability to “think”.  This stuff is not limited to America, of course, as those that seek a world government and the destruction of every country’s sovereignty have long had their tentacles reach far across the entire globe.</p>
<p>Anyway, as individuals, the majority of us probably would never choose these paths if we knew the actual consequences, but we have been targeted, our empathy is being uprooted, our autonomy is being taken away from us, and we are being influenced on a mass scale in a variety of different ways.  Furthermore, we have been subject to these influences for a long time.  Interestingly, we have reached a point where our energies and (and sometimes our own <a title="Taxpayers to Fund Hollywood ObamaCare Propaganda" href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/health-care/item/12867-taxpayers-to-fund-hollywood-obamacare-propaganda">tax dollars</a>) have been fueling our own propaganda machine and keeping the momentum of this monstrous system going for quite a while now, leaving us consistently in the dark.</p>
<p>The antagonists in this epic journey have taken advantage of the fact that we have taken our eyes off the ball and now the ball seems to be in their court because so many people are so brainwashed.  Total domination of everything everywhere seems to be what’s on the predators’ agenda.  On the way to getting to the hellish world that these people envision, each one of us who contributes to moving in that nightmarish direction only knows what he/she “needs” to know.</p>
<p>Hence, it is wise to investigate areas we are discouraged to investigate.  That includes — but is not limited to — learning about our actual history, whether it be the history of our <em>own</em> lives or the “larger” kind of history.</p>
<p><em>What follows here – for purposes of zooming out and simply knowing where we stand – are descriptions of 5 methods elites have so far successfully implemented in order to divide us and bring us down the path of self-destruction and servitude that characterizes much of our environment today.  The following information is not meant to discourage but simply meant to clarify so that we know what we’re dealing with and also so that we can be on the same page.  Without being on the same page, it is difficult to implement teamwork (and we clearly need some level of teamwork if we’re going to one day be free of this slavery):</em></p>
<h3>1: Separation from our mothers / Destruction of the family unit</h3>
<p>When mothers go into a hospital so that a guy in a white coat can “deliver” their baby, the pharmaceutical industry and these doctors give the mothers <em>drugs</em> to speed up the birth.  Why speed up the birth?  What’s the rush?  There are, perhaps, times when this is called for but this strange occurrence happens a lot more than many people imagine.</p>
<p>In addition to that, particularly disturbing is the genital mutilation that many parents call “circumcision”.  I’ve mentioned this before but it’s worth repeating in this context.</p>
<p>It seems as though there is a double standard whereby the general public views circumcision to be <em>hygienic</em> when done to men, yet <em>cruel</em> when done to women.  This is clearly a cruel practice when done to anyone.  Incidentally, an <a title="Male circumcision leads to a bad sex life" href="http://sciencenordic.com/male-circumcision-leads-bad-sex-life" target="_blank">article citing a Danish study</a> has shown that a male’s circumcision indeed affects his sex-life in negative ways:</p>
<p>“Circumcised men are three times as likely to experience a frequent inability to reach an orgasm,” says one of the researchers, Associate Professor Morten Frisch from Danish research enterprise SSI.</p>
<p><strong>Research into the effects on women is unique</strong></p>
<p>This is one of only a few studies of the sexual consequences of male circumcision, and in one area in particular it is groundbreaking:</p>
<p>“Previous studies into male circumcision have looked at the effects it has on the men. But scientists have never really studied the effects this has on the women’s sex lives,” says Frisch.</p>
<p>“It appears that women with circumcised men are twice as likely to be sexually frustrated. They experience a three-fold risk of frequent difficulties in achieving orgasm, and an eight-fold risk of feeling pain during intercourse – also known as dyspareunia.”</p>
<p>This <a title="Red Ice Radio – Jeanice Barcelo – Hour 1 – Hospital Birth Trauma &amp; Baby Mutilation (audio)" href="http://potentnews.com/2012/01/06/red-ice-radio-jeanice-barcelo-hour-1-hospital-birth-trauma-baby-mutilation/" target="_blank"><em>Red Ice Radio</em> interview with Jeanice Barcelo</a> discusses the mutilation of babies in more detail and also sheds light on other unnecessary and insane procedures that are now commonly accepted among standard baby delivery protocols in hospitals, however, watch the following shorter clip from her interview on <em><a title="Give Birth Safely OUTSIDE Hospital! Jeanice Barcelo 17May2013 " href="http://youtu.be/cHuhMxusinY" target="_blank">The Vinny Eastwood Show</a> </em>if you have less time.</p>
<p>These types of interferences during the most delicate times of our lives serve to separate us from our mothers and it is not difficult to see how these events would bring about a sense of accomplishment for elites who seek to replace the family with the state.</p>
<p>Interestingly, apparently Disney propaganda largely features main characters who either have a mother absent, dead, or being represented as an “evil stepmother”.  (Fast-forward to approximately 24 minutes into this <a title="Wash Your Brain – Hollywood Mind Control " href="http://youtu.be/szwvjyiGBSk" target="_blank"><em>Wash Your Brain</em></a> interview to hear Freeman Fly and Jamie Hanshaw elaborate on this.)</p>
<p>In fact, in the very instructive novel <em>1984</em>, Orwell’s Big Brother is called “Big Brother” for a reason, as I’ve previously mentioned.  Similarly, Aldous Huxley’s <em>Brave New World</em> fiction novel is set in a fictional world where children are not even born in a mother’s womb, but rather in factories (whereby the fetuses grown are separated into 5 different classes via oxygen deprivation and things of that nature).</p>
<p>The following <a href="http://mash.network.coull.com/activatevideo?video_provider_id=2&amp;pid=8165&amp;website_id=37737&amp;width=500&amp;height=312&amp;video_provider_url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/embed/N5g_ed1P2Ts%3Fversion%3D3%26rel%3D1%26fs%3D1%26showsearch%3D0%26showinfo%3D1%26iv_load_policy%3D1%26wmode%3Dtransparent">short video</a> begins with an interesting and relevant quote:</p>
<p><em>“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogmas.”</em></p>
<p>Brock Adams, Director UN Health Organization (1945)</p>
<p>Furthermore, when we examine exactly what is being dumped into our environment we can see that these chemicals also further the agenda of blurring the lines between the feminine and masculine, hence further destroying the family.  Petrochemicals in our environment are drastically affecting our hormones and are causing women to undergo puberty at a younger and younger age.  Females are getting masculinized and men are getting feminized.  Even animals are being affected in strange ways.  Our environment is soaked in these poisons and this <a title="Radio 3Fourteen - Dr. Curtis Duncan - The Conspiracy to Feminize Males &amp; Masculinize Females" href="http://youtu.be/6w6vTCEdV44" target="_blank"><em>Radio 3Fourteen</em> interview with Dr. Curtis Duncan</a> sheds a lot of light on these issues.</p>
<p>At this point it is very difficult to deny the perturbation of one of the most fundamental, intimate, and self-sustaining aspects of our personal lives, the family unit.  We have the nefarious hospital birth procedures, the children’s propaganda demonizing mothers, the UN blatantly saying their goal is to destroy the family, and we have these chemicals that are screwing us up, etc.  All this paints a grim picture of a heartless multipronged assault on the family.</p>
<p>That said, let’s be honest.  A state can’t love you like an actual <em>person</em> can (and a state can’t know you like a person who’s lived with you knows you).  You can’t “hug” Canada… no matter how much you may love this land.  Somebody out there may try to hug the ground to prove me wrong, but I’d say that person would be hugging the Earth more than Canada.  I suppose that person could be “<a title="Earthing – the Ultimate Antioxidant: Fight Premature Aging for Free " href="http://potentnews.com/2013/03/13/earthing-the-ultimate-antioxidant-fight-premature-aging-for-free-video-included/" target="_blank">earthing</a>“ (and gaining anti-oxidants).  Sure, I’ll even entertain the possibility that Canadian “vibes” are in the air, if you like, but you see what I’m trying to say.  Canada is not your family and it can <em>never</em> replace your family… no matter how patriotic you might be.  Nevertheless, the future of the traditional family is in jeopardy.</p>
<h3>2: Separation from our Elders</h3>
<p>Who better to reveal the long scope of the aggressors’ agenda(s) than those close to us who have been alive the longest?  They’ve been around longer, so we can assume the smart ones would have an insight or two about our dilemma and why we keep falling for the war propaganda, the various means of divide and conquer, etc.</p>
<p>Sadly, elders today are not looked up to, but rather seen as an impediment to society.  People in the “advanced states” don’t have mentors as much as they used to and don’t really respect their elders as much either.</p>
<p>People in western societies stick their parents in “old folks’ homes” when they are older so they don’t have to deal with them anymore.  My ex girlfriend’s mother once worked as a nurse at one of these places and her role was simply handing out pharmaceutical drugs to these people for hours at a time.  Similarly, during my 40 hours of orwellian “manditory volunteer work” in highschool I chose to help out at one of these places and my role there included – believe it or not – serving these people beers and grabbing the sandbags out from the holes and handing them back the sandbags when they played the sandbag game, etc.  I forget the name of that game but it involves getting “points” based on how accurate you throw a sandbag into something that looks like <a title="sandbag game" href="http://www.canadamade.org/images/883_1.jpg">this</a>.  Anyway, the place smelled like urine and was very depressing.  They were treated like children, talked to like they were children, in many ways many of them <em>were</em> children, and yet I’ve witnessed <em>many</em> other people throughout my life who were just as old and their mind’s were still sharp, alert, focused, coherent, functional, etc.  Those people usually were never in old folks homes.  I was vexed.  I thought to myself, “did these people  in this home simply give up on reading a long time ago or something?  What is going on here?  Why do they all look so sedated and half-dead?”  To be clear, I had seen this sort of thing on television and films before but actually witnessing it in person had a significant impact on me.   Now I imagine that this level of neglect would never happen in many other countries around the world where people honour the past and their roots.  Doing so has many benefits but it seems people around here treat their pets better than they treat their parents.</p>

<p><a href="http://realitycheck.typepad.com/commentary_news/2012/04/technology-is-controlling-us-whats-going-on-we-have-all-fallen-in-to-an-abyss-but-we-just-havent-realized-it-yet.html">RealityCheck</a></p>
<p>We have all fallen in to an abyss but we just haven’t realized it yet. The change that has taken place in our world in the last 10 years is greater than the previous 100 years. The changes that one generation is experiencing, took 6 or 7 generations to experience in the 1900’s.</p>
<p>Now picture this. A family of four comes in to a coffee shop, buys its lunch and sits down to eat. During their meal no one speaks. No one looks up. They jam fast food in to their mouths, while playing on handheld devices, sending messages, listening to I-tunes and surfing the Net.</p>
<p>They leave the restaurant and the kids have to be driven back to school. Dad fumbles with his cell phone while sipping his coffee. Mom checks her Facebook account and the kids in the backseat are texting to their friends. The kids get dropped off at school, and the parents go back to work. Hardly a word was spoken during the lunch hour. This pattern is repeated millions of times every day in different ways all around the world.</p>
</div>
<p><a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://realitycheck.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341da69253ef016304cca48e970d-popup" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Marshall4" src="http://realitycheck.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341da69253ef016304cca48e970d-320wi" /></a> We are becoming a dysfunctional society. We are not using our social skills; people are not engaging one another as they should be and our children’s intellect is not being developed.</p>
<p>Our lives are being controlled, and are being driven by technology of all kinds. Computers were invented to assist us, not to take over our minds and teach us how to think.</p>
<p>You cannot put a child in a room with a computer and expect the child to learn to read. Sure the computer will be a great aid for learning if used responsibly, but as a society we are letting the technology control us.</p>
<p>To cite one example, consider Facebook. Intelligence authorities love it by the way because people are entering personal information about themselves all the time, and then they present it on a platter. Why use ‘information officers’ to collect information when people will provide all kinds of information about themselves for free?</p>
<p>Some people actually live their lives on Facebook. They use Facebook as a hub to start their day, and from there play an endless assortment of games, answer messages, post articles, chat, reply to moves, etc. It’s amazing what you can do. You can never have enough time on Facebook because you can always look for new ‘friends’ and there’s always new games to play or more photos to post.</p>
<p>However, there a few things that Facebook cannot do. It cannot replace face to face contact and interaction. It cannot replace people discussing ideas, problem solving, teambuilding and coming up with solutions, at a time in our history when fresh ideas and forward thinking are really needed.</p>
<p>One of the paradoxes of Internet use in general, is that while there is virtually an unlimited wealth of information and so many topics to explore, that focusing on a single subject becomes almost impossible. You can’t surf forever. Sooner or later you have to consolidate your thoughts or you keep drifting.</p>
<p><a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://realitycheck.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341da69253ef016304cca6d2970d-popup" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Marshall5" src="http://realitycheck.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341da69253ef016304cca6d2970d-320wi" /></a> I’m not suggesting that there is a quick fix here. Viacom, Disney, Apple, Microsoft and all of the other big corporations control the content. We are being carefully groomed, ‘dumbed down’ and brainwashed and the majority of us don’t see a problem with that.</p>
<p>Remember the words of Marshal McLuhan: “The Medium is the Message.”</p>
