Get Familiar with Zbigniew Brzezinski

Posted Jul 06, 2007

If that name doesn't ring a bell by now, we have nothing but contempt for you: start paying more attention. If the monster is familiar, then we present two excerpts with downloadable copies of their source documents. Both are essential reads -- enjoyable, enlightening and strategically invaluable. Enjoy.

From his Christopher J. Makins Lecture to the Atlantic Council of the US:

What we need today is a shared understanding of the things that make our time unique. That understanding must recognize what is unique both about the world in general and about the particular threat we face.

Let me make a stab, just a stab, at a formulation. On the general level, what is distinctive about our time is that the United States and Europe, the most advanced part of the world, face a massive and unprecedented global political awakening. That is something new in all of history. The world as a whole is experiencing today what French society as a whole experienced during the French revolution ? a sudden stirring of political awareness, unleashed passions, fermenting excitement, and escalating aspirations. Today, that sense of revolution is the political reality worldwide and it is altogether new, though it has been developing over a number of decades.

Today, even in remote Nepal, Bolivia, and Kyrgyzstan, we see similar manifestations of political behavior. Today, in Somalia, East Timor, and Chechnya, we see similar manifestations of brutal violence. And throughout the world, we see similar trends in the rise of radical populism, which carries with it the potential for violent extremism. This radical populism, organized through the Internet and fueled by the images of human inequality that are disseminated globally by the electronic media, is also stimulated by a new political reality. This political reality is no longer that of an aroused peasantry or that of the industrial proletariat of Marx ? it is some 120 million fermenting and politically active university students throughout the world. That is the new reality we confront together, and it is a much more complex and difficult reality than we faced during the Cold War, World War I, or World War II.

From Zbigniew's classic "The Grand Chessboard":

... how America "manages" Eurasia is critical. Eurasia is the globe's largest continent and is geopolitically axial. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent. About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for 60 per cent of the world's GNP and about three-fourths of the world's known energy resources."

"In the long run, global politics are bound to become increasingly uncongenial to the concentration of hegemonic power in the hands of a single state. Hence, America is not only the first, as well as the only, truly global superpower, but it is also likely to be the very last."

From a June 14, 2007 Roundtable discussion with Henry Kissinger and Brent Snowcroft

ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI: The political awakening that is happening worldwide is a major challenge for America, because it means that the world is much more restless. It's stirring. It has aspirations which are not easily satisfied. And if America is to lead, it has to relate itself somehow to these new, lively, intense political aspirations, which make our age so different from even the recent past.

But the challenge that we face is rooted much more in the immediate problem, which we have partially created -- namely, we are the number one superpower today in the world. We are the only superpower. But our leadership is being tested in the Middle East, and some of the things that we have done in the Middle East are contributing to a potential explosion region-wide. And if that explosion gets out of hand, we may end up being bogged down for many years to come in a conflict that will be profoundly damaging to our capacity to exercise our power, to address the problems implicit in this global awakening, and we may face a world in which much of the world turns away from us, seeks its own equilibrium, but probably slides into a growing chaos.

So I think we're at a very critical stage, and I am personally very worried as to what might conceivably happen in the next 20 months. I'm more optimistic after 2008.

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Systems

Posted Jul 06, 2007

Deep ocean water is a vast resource --- it makes up 90% of the global ocean mass, and our oceans take up 70% of our planet's surface. It is also a very flexible resource. Former US Naval engineer (and mega-genius) John Pina Craven is suggesting four uses for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC): First, the water is pumped up from at least 2000 feet below sea level. (For this precise reason, OTEC won't be catching on in Vermont anytime soon. Or Iowa, for that matter.) Everything that happens from the point on is generated by the difference in temperature between the ocean water and the surface air. Because of the depth and pressure, deep ocean water is "perpetually just above freezing" --- seriously cold, with several unique properties that we'll perhaps get into later.Wired magazine did an excellent article on John Pina Craven and his plan --- in fact, it's where I stole these images from (thanks guys!!). However, they got a few things dead wrong. Dig:

Although the scientific concepts behind cold-water energy have been around for decades, Craven made them real when he founded the state-funded Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii in 1974 on Keahole Point, near Kona.

Actually, the first OTEC power plant was built in Cuba back in 1930. The engineer/designer for that project was Georges Claude, a rather obscure inventor who also gave mankind the neon light (yeah, thanks a bundle). Claude was a student of one of Nikola Tesla's contemporaries, Jacques d'Arsonval, who drafted working plans for such a power plant but sadly, didn't live to see it become a reality. Regardless, the plant was a success for at least a few years, producing 22 kilowatts of electricity from a single mega-turbine. If anyone knows what has happened since, or where the plant was actually located, I'd love to hear from you.

Getting the pipe down 2000 feet is the hardest part. Once you start pumping, of course, you're surfing along in the siphon zone --- familiar to our readers who have enacted revenge on teachers, police or federal judges by visiting their parking lots. The siphon maintains it's own suction pressure and basically runs itself --- leading to either an empty gas tank or, in this case, a vast supply of energy and water.

From the Wired article:

"Already, 39-degree-Fahrenheit water courses through the Natural Energy Lab's newest pipe - a 55-inch-diameter, 9,000-foot-long polyethylene behemoth - at the rate of 27,000 gallons a minute, 24 hours a day."

Not too shabby, huh? This tips the scales in a very advantageous way --- this is really one of the more amazing shortcuts humans have found in the past century. As Craven states repeatedly in his work and his interviews: "What the world doesn't understand is that what we don't have enough of is cold, not heat."

To me, the most fascinating aspect of Craven's research is the applications in agriculture. Craven claims that by running the ocean water along the roots of the plants, it vigorously stimulates their growth. I know from personal experience that when I'm feeling ill, the best thing to do is take a cold shower, which only sounds insane if you never thought about it.

More interesting still: Craven claims that by turning the water on and off, he can essentially trick the plants into speeding up their metabolism, and thus growing three to four times faster. Worth noting again that this is neither pseudo-science, nor theoretical claims. John Pina Craven runs a corporation --- the Common Heritage Corp --- which is already operating these plants. He has vineyards on volcanic rock in Kona, Hawaii ---- vineyards which are not only on volcanic rock, but get 3 growing seasons every year, thanks to his cold-water wizardry.

How is this relevant to water purification?

Ever seen pipes sweat?

Exactly.

According to Craven's numbers --- which are, remember, operational reality, not theoretical fantasy --- an OTEC plant that's generating 2 megawatts of power would also produce 1.1 million gallons of de-salinated, fresh water. That's every day. All you gotta do is make a tank big enough to collect it.

Micheal Persinger, Shakti, and the Question of the God Gun

Posted Jul 06, 2007

Outside of DARPA, the heavyweight in the field of electromagnetic brain manipulation is Micheal Persinger. His student Todd Murphy runs the very informative and entertaining site Shakti Technology. There is a lot of lightweight philosophizing on the site, but the hidden gem is when Murphy finally provides a little red meat about how all this works.

Shakti uses audio files to play the signals. The 'sounds' have the same shape as an EEG signal - one whose appearance shows the activation of a particular structure (brain part). The magnetic coils are plugged into the sound card, just like a pair of speakers. When the audio file is played, the coils produce magnetic fields whose shape matches the shape of the original EEG trace. The structure the signal 'belongs' to is activated.

Sadly, that's as much detail as the consumer gets. There would appear to be no mention anywhere on the site of what the actual frequencies are, which is all any awake human would give a shit about, because obviously we don't need to buy equipment from these folks once we know how to build our own.

So the real question here is: how can we convert this tech into a concealable God Gun? I can't think of a more benevolent weapon --- what better way for free weirdos to incapacitate our "enemies" than a debilitating blast of union with the Oneness of creation?

(I mentioned this to a buddy who immediately suggested the film Orgazmo, which is about a man who invents an orgasm ray. I will probably never see this movie, but perhaps you already have. Personally, I'd rather puncture a hole in someone's belief system than leave their khakis stained, but it's only a matter of taste.)

“Unrestricted Warfare”

Posted Jul 06, 2007

...a theory would accept that adversaries will wage -- are waging even as you read this -- neocortical warfare against us. (That China is quiet, for example, may not mean that we are not engaged in a conflict with China.)

Have you ever heard of "Unrestricted Warfare"? It's quite a spicy meatball. It's a document by two Chinese soldiers, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui. NEEDLESS TO SAY, it was not originally subtitled "China's Master Plan to Destroy America", and considering it was released in 1999, that cover photo did not exist. I'm not suggesting that China was behind 9-11 (in fact, I'm not suggesting anything about 9-11, ever) -- but there's a number of people who sincerely believe that. It's an absurd theory, but exploring it leads to some fascinating data points, if you're so inclined. Most of the focus on this document is for all the wrong reasons -- the actual contents of the book are not a "master plan" for anything. However, it is some of the best writing on the nature and future of warfare I've found. Dig:

"New weapons concepts are completely different from new concept weapons. New weapons concepts is a broad conception of weapons that transcends the military field- whatever method can be used to fight a war is a weapon. In this view, whatever provides benefits to mankind can also be turned around to be a weapon to harm mankind. [...] To our way of thinking, a planned stock market crash, a computer virus attack, making the currency exchange rate of an enemy country erratic, and spreading rumors on the Internet about the leaders of an enemy country can all be thought of as new concept weapons. This new way of thinking puts weapons into the daily lives of civilians. New concept weapons can make of war something that even military professionals will find hard to imagine. Both soldiers and civilians will be disturbed to see items in their everyday lives become weapons that can attack and kill."

One more excerpt before we move along -- this whole document will be unpacked in detail later on when we take a look at China (or you could, like, actually read it...here's Unrestricted Warfare in it's English-translated entirety right here, courtesy of Brainsturbator Library.)

"War in the age of technological integration and globalization has eliminated the right of weapons to label war and, with regard to the new starting point, has realigned the relationship of weapons to war, while the appearance of weapons of new concepts, and particularly new concepts of weapons, has gradually blurred the face of war. Does a single "hacker" attack count as a hostile act or not? Can using financial instruments to destroy a country's economy be seen as a battle? Did CNN's broadcast of an exposed corpse of a U.S. soldier in the streets of Mogadishu shake the determination of the Americans to act as the world's policeman, thereby altering the world's strategic situation? And should an assessment of wartime actions look at the means or the results? Obviously, proceeding with the traditional definition of war in mind, there is no longer any way to answer the above questions. When we suddenly realize that all these non-war actions may be the new factors constituting future warfare, we have to come up with a new name for this new form of war: Warfare which transcends all boundaries and limits, in short: unrestricted warfare."

Can't help but be reminded of the McLuhan quote from earlier in the week:

"Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America -- not on the battlefields of Vietnam."

Micheal Aquino and “Mindwar”

Posted Jul 06, 2007

The man to the left is Michael Aquino, and he's worth taking a closer look at. I first ran across Micheal Acquino back when he was a Satanist child molester, implicated in the very weird Satanic Ritual Abuse scandal at the Presidio in California. (He's also been connected to the Franklin Coverup by Noreen Gosch.) Acquino is also the former High Priest of the Temple of Set, a west-coast faction of Anton LaVey's Church of Satan -- and he's written a very curious "debunking" of Remote Viewing, "Project Star Gate: 20 Million up in Smoke (and Mirrors)". It's curious for two reasons: first, that a high-ranking active occultist would write such an essay to begin with, and second, it's written as if Quantum Physics never happened, relying on outdated but "common sense" logic. Although it's only my opinion, I do feel it's pretty obvious he's just trying to stir up mud in a dark pond.

Where Michael Aquino really intersects with today's article is his early work for the US Military: two papers on Psychological Warfare. The first is Psychological Operations: The Ethical Dimension and the follow-up is From PsyOps to MindWar: The Psychology of Victory. Both documents are important reads, and if anything, they're even worse than they sound.

Whatever darker perversions Aquino may be involved with are secrets which will probably die with him, should they exist at all. However, his military intelligence pedigree is a matter of public record, he proudly provides a resume on his website. Although that might be a psychological operation unto itself, who knows...

EXCERPTS:

"For the mind to believe in its own decisions, it must feel that it made those decisions without coercion. Coercive measures used by the operative, consequently, must not be detectable by ordinary means. There is no need to resort to mind-weakening drugs such as those explored by the CIA; in fact the exposure of a single such method would do unacceptable damage to MindWar's reputation for truth. Existing PSYOP identifies purely-sociological factors which suggest appropriate idioms for messages. Doctrine in this area is highly developed, and the task is basically one of assembling and maintaining individuals and teams with enough expertise and experience to apply the doctrine effectively. This, however, is only the sociological dimension of target receptiveness measures. There are some purely natural conditions under which minds may become more or less receptive to ideas, and MindWar should take full advantage of such phenomena as atmospheric electromagnetic activity, air ionization, and extremely low frequency waves."

Unlike PSYOP, MindWar has nothing to do with deception or even with "selected" - and therefore misleading - truth. Rather it states a whole truth that, if it does not now exist, will be forced into existence by the will of the United States. The examples of Kennedy's ultimatum to Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis and Hitler's stance at Munich might be cited. A MindWar message does not have to fit conditions of abstract credibility as do PSYOP there; its source makes it credible. As Livy once said: "The terror of the Roman name will be such that the world shall know that, once a Roman army had laid siege to a city, nothing will move it -- not the rigors or winter nor the weariness of months and years -- that it knows no end but victory and is ready, in a swift and sudden stroke will not serve, to preserve until that victory is achieved."
