Urban wireless to serve intel and PSYOP forces

nettdroid.jpg
The government needs more nodes: Various agencies want to seed cities with wireless networking devices (image from a DOD document).

Despite the high costs and unproven social benefits for municipal broadband, dozens of U.S. cities are ignoring laws banning anti-competitive practices and getting into the internet business.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Defense is planning to build robots that configure themselves into ad hoc wireless networks within urban areas.

City mayors claim they want to provide free and low-cost Wi-Fi access to the poor and attract business travelers. Defense planners say they need to have broadband capabilities in urban war zones.

But rather than closing the “digital divide” (which many academics admit is being exaggerated), or providing a redundant service to traveling salesmen, it appears that officials aim to seize control of internet communications and track individuals in urban areas.

Military and law enforcement agencies will also use the wireless networks to stage “hard PSYOP” attacks against a brain-chipped populace, according to historian and commentator Alan Watt, who specializes in secret societies and government intelligence operations.

Philadelphia, San Francisco, Houston, and Providence, R.I. are among the cities partnering with private companies and the federal government to set up public broadband internet access. Providence used Homeland Security funds to construct a network for police, which may be made available to the public at a later date.

None of the cities are expected to turn a profit anytime soon. Nor are the poor likely to benefit from the projects.

Subscribers to Philly’s “Wireless Philadelphia” service, for example, will pay up to 73 percent more than the rate promised to them two years ago.

“(Philadelphia) presented dangerously inaccurate estimates and figures for the costs and revenue” for its wireless network, according to a recent analysis by students at Harvard Law School. Continue reading

Video primer: Freemasonic signs and signals

This avant-garde film, by Tracy Twyman, recently re-appeared on YouTube. I can’t remember exactly how I stumbled into it. I’m glad I did. It’s cool little piece.

Twyman is a controversial occultic historian, whose critics accuse her of being a monarchist. But the artist and historian, who published Dagobert’s Revenge Magazine through 2003, is new to me.

Tracy Twyman’s Signs and Signals of Freemasonry

The brother is a brother

Check it, yo: David Johnson calls his silver neckpiece his “Masonic bling”

NPR this week ran a favorable piece about Freemasonry, and its newest recruits (see link and excerpt, below).

In an audio slideshow at the NPR site, a Mason weeps over the value of a gavel that belonged to George Washington. “If you love history,” he says, “you’ve got to love the Masons.”

Never mind that it’s HIS story we’re talking about here (the white man’s, that is). The NPR piece features Alan Patterson, 39, the first African-American senior officer at the Naval Lodge # 4 in Washington, D.C.

Quick to embrace an organization that once excluded blacks, and which eso-researchers say is designed to oppress the masses, Patterson now mocks the conspiracists.

“All the stuff you see on the internet — from devil worship to sacrificing virgins — I joke, ‘You know, we do have a couple of New York Yankees fans, but they’re not really considered Satan,’” Patterson tells NPR.

Thanks to Red Ice Creations for this one.

Some conspiracy theorists have argued that the pyramid is evidence of a Masonic cabal within the U.S. government.
While they discount the conspiracy theories, these Masons clearly enjoy them.
David Johnson, 36, is junior warden of the lodge. “It’s not like we’re sitting in here, polishing the Holy Grail every Thursday night when we meet,” he says with a sarcastic grin. “We drink out of the Holy Grail, but we don’t polish it. It couldn’t take it — it’s very old.”

The secret behind "The Secret"


Psst: It’s the Rosy Cross

The secret behind the film “The Secret,” a cheesy round-up of C-list motivational speakers, is Rosicrucianism, according to a recent commentary by Terry Melanson at Conspiracy Archive. The speakers in the film include one chiropractor, one-or-two New Age religious figures, and several self-described scientists. All make non-scientific connections between physics and psychic powers.

They insist that by thinking “I will be a millionaire,” you can become one.

Terry draws a tight, detailed timeline of movements from “The Secret” (i.e., “the power of attraction”) back to positive thinking movements in the mid-20th century, even the mid-18th century. He also notes the subliminal use of the word, “Rosicrucian” (see still image, above), throughout the film.

“The Secret” is nothing new. But its production values should be high enough to bring a fresh batch of suckers into “the movement.”

Going to the official site, and viewing
the flash presentation
on the past secret teachers, the
importance of Rosicrucian thinking is elaborated upon.
On Beethoven, they say: “In his personal life Beethoven was known
to support the views of Pantheism, which included the idea of
natural law and the universe being equivalent to, and inseparable
from God. He is also considered to have been a member of the
Rosicrucians, a legendary and secret order that espoused many of
the ideas of The Secret.
” (emphasis mine)
There you have it; Rosicrucianism is linked to the teachings
espoused in The Secret.

Minicast: Alan Watt on "the New Normal"

istock_000001210896xsmall.jpg

It’s normal, now

Propagandists working for the major foundations and think tanks are crafting “the New Normal” for climate changes, brain chipping and other technologies, says Alan Watt, in a recent audio blurb at Cutting Through the Matrix (see links, below).

The audio: [audio http://clickcaster.com/resource/audio/minicast--alan-watt-on--the-new-normal.mp3]

Every book, blog and seminar that includes “the New Normal” in its title is about getting rich within “the new paradigm.” So, it is refreshing to hear someone questioning the validity of “the New Normal” itself.

Also, as a science and technology reporter, I was struck by Watt’s observation that authors are typically told what to write about by their bosses (rather than authors bringing the truth up to their editors, for example). From my own personal experience, that is how it often works in the mainstream media.Song credit: “Over the Wall,” from the soundtrack to “Escape from New York,” by John Carpenter.

Mini-Podcast: The Protocols (some answers)

Haven’t gotten Henrik Palmgren’s and Alan Watt’s takes yet on the persistence of the Protocols. But I did hear from Greg at Occult of Personality, and Terry at Conspiracy Archive.

The audio:

[audio http://www.clickcaster.com/resource/audio/updated-parallelnormal-minicast-for-4-13-07.mp3]

Plus: Greg at Occult of Personality has posted an interview with Taoist author Angela V. Michaels. The two discuss the “2012 hype” (see excerpt and link, below).

What advice would you give if asked for guidance in avoiding the pitfalls of charlatans trying to cash in on the 2012 hype?We must learn to cultivate discernment. First we need to become educated and aware of the possibilities. Earth changes, new technologies, alternative history, the powers-that-be and their secrets, even worldly spiritual paths – knowledge is power. Do a lot of research, try to understand many different points of view so that there is no shock or surprise either way.

It's "eso-researcher," not "conspiracy theorist" (about labels)

istock_000001051268xsmall.jpg

Mists and winds mark Greg’s worldview

Occult of Personality (link and excerpt, below, and thanks to Red Ice), notes the recent and rapid rise of eso-research websites. Eso-researchers search for answers to our earthly problems through mysticism, occultism and the study of stargates and secret societies.

I agree with webmaster Greg that many people knock eso-researchers for their willingness to discuss topics outside the mainstream. “Conspiracy theorist” is one label that rankles Alan Watt, for example.

Greg describes his own, personal (and, I imagine, typical) experiences and motivations for pursuing eso-research, in this fairly purple passage: “The mists of illusion and deceit were thick enough to obscure the reasons for my wandering. The winds of wisdom blew away the mists and cleared my vision to allow me to understand much better what was going on around and within me.”

clipped from www.occultofpersonality.com
In the past year, there has been a virtual explosion in the field of eso-research on the internet. I include myself in these ranks as Occult of Personality 1.0 went live in October of 2006.
Many people use derogatory labels in an attempt to sideline, minimize, and relegate our ideas to a dustbin, easily emptied when it gets too full.
Whether the subject is geo-political intrigue, banking and economics, social planning, world history, entertainment, celebrities and pop culture, or religion and spirituality, the ancient Mystery schools and their ideas have had some (or a lot) of influence, in some way or another, on all of them. The analysis being presented via the internet is not only timely, but I believe it to be crucial to accurately understanding who we are and where we are going.

Big brother reads your blog

Alan Watt (excerpt from my latest article in The Register, below) told me he is among the esoteric researchers being targeted for website blackouts by intel and law enforcement.

And I conclude in the piece that Google and other companies, eager for government contracts, at least have a motive to cooperate with government data mining efforts.

And here’s what Nicole Ozer, technology and civil liberties policy director at the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, told me: “You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to see the government wants access to as much information as possible.”

Also: Note my use of the term “conspiracy theorist” in the Register piece. I consider the label a put-down, yet unavoidable. There’s no way to cover this subject in the mainstream media without the label, at least not now.

That’s why I mixed-in “esoteric researcher,” a term I’ve seen around the internet. I don’t know if it’s the right one, or if it will stick.

Conspiracy theorists: Feds, web hosts conspire against us

And the Illuminati are in on it too

When Alan Watt’s website Cutting Through the Matrix went offline in February, he knew it was because someone “at the top” decided he was getting too close to the truth.Watt is one of several “esoteric researchers” (call them conspiracy theorists) who believe Big Brother is telling Yahoo!, Google, and other companies which websites get to stay up, and which come down.
“I am certain of it,” said Watt, a researcher studying the role secret societies play in global events.
But there are many other Anti-Masons and 9/11 truthers claiming that sinister forces and the internet’s big boys are de-indexing and suspending sites that threaten to expose the global ruling elite.It sounds loopy, but the allegations – from the webmasters of sites such as Prison Planet and the Illuminati Conspiracy Archive – have persisted since late last year.

The plan to “off” baby boomers

044657981501_ss500_sclzzzzzzz_.jpg Geezers have an exciting new way to ensure their kids’ futures: killing themselves for payouts from insurers and the government. The heroine in satirist Christopher Buckley’s “Boomsday” proposes sparing the state the burden of caring for us after our 70th birthdays. His 29-year-old Cassandra Devine calls it “voluntary transitioning.”

But dozens of Oregonians already choose this option each year, under a law that promises their next of kin full insurance payouts.

Time magazine this week notes that Buckley “for the record, is 54,” suggesting he is representative of the generation born between 1946 and 1964.

But like his father, the conservative writer William F. Buckley) Christopher Buckley is reportedly a member of Skull and Bones. And to many esoteric researchers, this sets him apart from the rest of us.

Cassandra Devine is a 29-year-old blogger who has had it with the government bankrupting her generation to support legions of increasingly long-lived baby boomers. “Someone my age will have to spend their entire life paying unfair taxes,” she rants, “just so the Boomers can hit the golf course at 62 and drink gin and tonics until they’re 90. What happened to the American idea of leaving your kids better off than you were?”Cassandra’s solution is a bill that would provide baby boomers with financial incentives to commit suicide–or “Voluntary Transitioning”–once they hit 70.
