Artificial Intelligence is the Stanley Kubrick script made into a 2001 film by famed director Steven Spielberg. A modern presentation of Pinocchio, the Spielberg/Kubrick A.I. operates on multiple levels as an allegory, as well as a morality tale of mankind’s potentially disastrous future given the rise of super advanced technology. Having viewed the film numerous times since 2001, only now has it become evident how profound it really is. Fans of esoteric interpretations of film will be aware of other Kubrick classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey or Eyes Wide Shut, but A.I. appears to have been overlooked. I recall about a decade ago getting the idea of doing esoteric film analysis occurred to me when I read a review of A.I. that argued it was an allegory of Dante’s Inferno (as David will undergo a katabasis). A decade later I still think that element is found, but the real meaning has yet to be explored in its full depth insofar as the more hidden aspects of the cryptocracy’s designs with technology have only recently come to some light.
Transition from Human to Post-Human Era
The film opens to a warning of the catastrophic effects of global warming and the melting of the polar icecaps that led to the flooding of major world centers. In the wake of the crisis, the global population found itself in a resource war for the basic means of survival, with robotics achieving a primary place due to the miniscule amount of resources robots require (not needing food, water, etc.). Spielberg appears to be on board here with the establishment’s grand fear narrative of Malthusian climate threats, as the hype of carbon emissions is just now in our day emerging as a massive hoax geared towards total population control. Entities like the Royal Society, the U.N. and thinks tanks like the Club of Rome have exhausted tremendous wealth and energy towards selling the phony fear of climate catastrophe, from the failed predictions of Paul Ehrlich to Al Gore, and in A.I. we see a placement of clear fear-based propaganda preparing the audience for a dark future of apocalyptic climate-based scenarios. Regardless, in the fictional future world of A.I. the revelation of the resource war is shown to be the essence of the elite technocratic control grid, as we will be entering a transition period from the human to the post-human.
Dr. Allen Hobby (William Hurt) is shown next giving a lecture where he presents a new goal for A.I. – to build a robot that can dream. Oddly, this is the very thing JC and myself recently explored in articles dealing with synthetic consciousness lacking the deeper abilities humans possess to access a subconscious, from which individual aspirations can arise. Hobby even speaks of creating a machine that can build its own inner world of symbolic archetypes and metaphors, arising from its own process of self-individuation. While it might have seemed far-fetched in 2001, almost a decade and a half later, we are now seeing top A.I. thinkers plan these very things through entities like DARPA, Google and the work of Ray Kurzweil. As I wrote, the ability to do such work operates on an alternate metaphysical system than that presented in mainline academia and quantitative-dominated physical sciences.

The archon image of David foreshadowing his future race of alien-like A.I.

Thus, at the outset of A.I., Spielberg is revealing a major component of the longterm goals of the cryptocracy, to build a post-human man able to transcend the limits of space and time. If an A.I. being could be created that was able to form its own inner psychical world of associations, archetypal forms and meaning, the bridge from purely algorithmic, determined process might be broken, and self-conscious volition based on this inner-symbolical world (think Piaget), resulting in undetermined choice would be the closest point of contact with human consciousness possible, depending of course on whether one views human consciousness as purely determined physical phenomena or intentional, volitional action. In any event, it was somewhat synchronistic for me as a viewer to watch this for the tenth time (after a long period of not seeing it) and only then notice the references to what I had just written about.
Oedipal Eden
David (Haley Joel Osmet) is Prof. Hobby’s first test subject for an A.I. that can dream, and is given to a company researcher named Henry Swinton, whose son Martin is in a coma. Henry presents his distraught wife Monica with David as a temporary replacement, to which Monica reluctantly concedes. Hearkening to the opening of the film where we see an elongated figure emerging from a shell with the infinity symbol (the Cyberronics logo), David appears out of focus with an extended head and slim body that will form the pattern for the alien-like A.I. at the end of the film. In similar foreshadowing, Martin, who is frozen in a cryogenic state surrounded by images of fairy tales on the wall of the children’s hospital foreshadows the ice water tomb that will encapsulate David in the third act. This reflexive symbolic foreshadowing is constant in the film and itself suggests a cyclical view of time and eternity.

Monica as womb of the gnostic Sophia

The cinematography consistently utilizes circular imagery in almost every scene, giving the impression of eternality, instability and constant change. Some scenes even intentionally evoke iconic images from Kubrick films, such as Dr. Strangelove. At no point do we as viewers, or David as the protagonist, feel stable and fixed. We are immediately propelled on a chaotic adventure where time seems forgotten. This atemporal aspect harmonizes well with the atemporal setting for ancient mythology and their more recent versions, fairy tales. A.I. is thus a post-human, transhumanist technocratic fairy tale. Those versed in the classics will be aware of the Greek notion of the myths taking place in a pre-temporal “golden age,” where giants, monsters and gods roamed freely before a great cataclysm that brought about temporal reality. In A.I., Spielberg and Kubrick would have us transfer our thinking to the realm of the mythological and fairy tale, which is also the realm of the subconscious and the aether, explaining why the film utilizes a host of images and ideas, from Freud to Jung to Pinocchio.
Mirrors also appear frequently, as the mirror is emblematic of the psyche or subconscious, reflecting either the deepest dreams and intentions of the characters or the shade of Jungian archetypalism. As David adapts to his new life in the Swinton household, he begins to do things normal children do, like play hide and seek, but while in this innocent, Edenic state, David carries a creepy air about him that will manifest in a “fall” in the third act. Monica, the mother archetype is shown doing all distinctly human actions, such as eating, cleaning, cooking, sleeping, and going to the bathroom, contrasted with David’s futile and failed attempts to be human. At one point David steps over the line by opening the bathroom door to Monica while she is reading a book on Freud, cluing us into the sexuality at work:  David grows to become attached to Monica, a Oedipal aspect is clearly shown with the Freud reference. David is an A.I. version of a child in his so-called “anal stage,” and Monica is the archetypal mother who now has two beings contending for her affection – David and Henry.  Henry is also never called “father” in the film, hinting at a completely absent and/or emasculated masculine component.  The only male figure prominent in the film is Joe, the effeminate sex bot.  It is David’s sexually constructed desires for affection that will lead him on his journey to become “real” to his mother. The dark mirrored aspect of Monica’s psyche is evident as she constantly looks into mirrors and even stares at David in her rear view mirror as she drives away abandoning him. Mirrors are also copies of things, so we can associate the mirror imaging with the overpowering simulacrum that dominates the film.
Magical Mind Control Trigger Words
A profoundly kabbalistic idea is shown in regard to the means by which David’s emotions and self-actualization are “triggered.” Monica (not Henry) must touch a chakra point (David’s neck) and repeat a series of magical words to make David’s emotional receptors kick in. Once it’s done, the process is irreversible, and Henry and Monica even discuss the possibility of returning David to the company for dissolution should they find David distasteful. There is at this juncture another important key to understanding the film, as none of the human characters are remotely likeable. They almost all evidence purely egoistic and despicable qualities, especially in the Swinton household, where everyone operates for their own interests. Monica only wants Martin, Henry only wants Monica’s affection, and Martin only wants to be rid of David.
Envy takes primacy as Martin miraculously comes out of his coma and arrives home to find David in his place. In a striking dialogue between Martin and David, Martin challenges David to do things he obviously cannot do, all the more ironic as Martin can barely walk. In Martin’s mind, David only exists for his own pleasure and amusement, passing off Teddy, last year’s “supertoy” to David. Teddy is the Jiminey Cricket of this version of Pinocchio, and will represent David’s conscience throughout. Martin passing off Teddy signifies that humanity has, at this point in history, lost all conscience and become completely self-absorbed and destructive. Indeed, humanity is to blame for the climate apocalypse at the opening of the film, and in this microcosmic scene we are given an image of the fall from the Edenic, golden age state of bliss to one of utter objectification and masochistic abandon. As the A.I. become more humanlike and abused, men are more abusive and exploitive towards one another, in a strange contrast. It is as if mankind achieved a pinnacle of technological progress, only to do so at the expense of the loss of all morality and decency, ending in nihilistic self-destruction. While I do not share the film’s global warming alarmism, the threat of sacrificing our humanity at the altar of technocratic progess is very much a warning to be heeded.

David’s alter “imprinting” courtesy of the technocratic panoptic establishment.

However, before we move on to that major theme, Monica’s magic Cybertronics words must be analyzed. David is programmed to have a series of vocal frequencies repeated to him that activate his self-realization and dream-making emotional abilities through the recitation of his mother alone. This is, as mentioned, a profoundly kabbalistic and gnostic idea, as well as a more orthodox sentiment, as the notion of God creating the world from His Logos, or Word, is found in many religious texts, not the least of which is John, Chapter 1. Here, the idea seems to be more in line with kabbalism, as the mother archetype “imprints” upon David a series of code words that trigger a personality to come to the fore. The interesting word string is as follows: Cirrus, Socrates, Particle, Decibel, Hurricane, Dolphin, Tulip, Monica, David, Monica. The words seem to span an array of topics, from forces of nature to philosophy. Monica appears as the gnostic Sophia in my analysis, activating his self-consciousness through divine word, recalling Genesis 1, where God creates man through a word, yet here the creation occurs in the new Adam, David, who will be the forefather of a new race of A.I. beings, with Martin representing the old man, or Adam, subject to death and decay.  In kabbalism, there is the idea that man can create a golem or artificial being with the right combinations of words and sounds and material, and as with E.T., Spielberg is referencing that tradition. Perhaps the title of the film itself is a kind of bookend on E.T., where only two letters used – A.I. and E.T.  Extra Terrestrial Artificial Intelligence could be a mystagogical code for the origins of advanced artificial technology as channeled from the inter-dimensional alien “gods.”  While this notion may seem far out, there are plenty of elites who affirm panspermia, which does include this idea as I detailed in my Prometheus analysis.

Programmed sex slave bots.

The notion of “imprinting” also suggests a possible mind control reading of the film, as David’s persona comes about through trigger words. I have written before on the use of psychological conditioning in the military industrial entertainment complex, as well as its prevalence in film. This reading is not outside the realm of possibility, given that David’s next companion on his journey will be the programmed sex slave, Gigolo Joe (played by Jude Law). While we know there are brainwashing programs that involve sex slave programming, assassination programming, and various other techniques, that A.I. presents both trigger words and sex slaves seems more than coincidence. Skeptics might wonder how this connection might be substantiated, but if we reflect, it’s not hard to make.
In the cult classic Blade Runner, there is almost the exact same theme as A.I., where persecuted replicants are struggling against man for mere survival. Blade Runner also includes the theme of a massive mega corporation that has the ability to wipe and program the minds of both sex slaves and assassins. Thus, this multi-tiered level of meaning is not without precedence in science fiction. Another reason we can draw this association is due to the close correlation artificial intelligence research and psychology share. The presuppositions of creating A.I. revolve around understanding and mapping the human brain and psyche, and the century of research the establishment has poured into such endeavors intertwines closely with research into advanced bio-tech. This is why DARPA and Google have such a close relationship in people like Regina Dugan, formerly of DARPA and now a high up at Google. Mapping the psyche is the key to creating A.I. and we can make a rough parallel between Cybertronics and Google, as both appear to run the existing globe from a technocratic standpoint, seeking to install the post-human era.
Flesh Fair Inferno to Robo-booty Rouge City
As David and Martin continue to butt heads, David gradually begins to grow aware of the darkness of his world, being tricked on three occasions by Martin into appearing as a threat. Ironically, David is a threat, although not consciously, as the A.I. will eventually take over humanity as it extincts itself. Martin almost foresees this, and knows that David must be eradicated for his own survival. This is one reason why the first half of the film is filled with moon symbolism. Moons are everywhere, from David’s bed to the flesh fair, as Gigolo Joe proclaims that to reach Dr. Know, they will have to journey toward the moon. The floating hot air balloon that first captures David, for example, is a gigantic synthetic moon, which brings him to the Flesh Fair, where gladiatorial games are displayed for a brutish and rural public to torture and dismember robots. Spielberg is thus presenting the robots as the new persecuted race, reminiscent of both the early Christian persecutions in Rome and the Jews in Nazi Germany.
The Flesh Fair does recall images of Dante’s Inferno, which marks a high point in the western tradition of the hero undergoing a katabasis, or descent into the underworld. From Homer to Vergil to the Bible, the hero’s descent to the underworld is symbolic of two important elements: the passage from this life to death and the psyche’s trek from consciousness to the realm of the unconscious. Both are linked, as the subconscious is home to our darkest archetypal fears, and death is the realm which holds us in prison in fear in this life, not knowing what lies beyond. The lunar symbolism of the first half of the film also represents the human era as a kind of dark age, as opposed to the daytime setting for the second half. Speilberg seems to be warning that the era of man may be “baptized” in a flood of death that will bring the post-human, leading to a spurious new dawn of transhumanist singularity. However, in this ominous portrayal, it is not a glorious utopia where man merges with machines according to the transhumanist promise, but rather the ultimate dystopia where humans are extinct. We have seen numerous films, from Moonraker to Sky Captain to 2012 to Elysium to Interstellar that present the elite escaping to a off world utopia, while the rest of the masses are left to perish in some disaster.

Gladiatorial Inferno Flesh Fair.

In my analysis, this is the ultimate goal of the shadow government, and I expect this storyline to continue to pop up in pop culture as the controllers seem to relish in laying out their designs. One final note should be added concerning the lunar symbolism that fits well with the theme of mind control, which is the notion of Moonchildren. In my E.T. analysis I pointed this out with E.T. and Elliot, and the moon symbolism and here in A.I. it is evident too, as David is not just a robot, but a programmed moonchild, which recalls the occult “Babalon” workings of Jack Parsons and Crowley, seeking to create a homunculus. While that working was done with the intent of effecting things on the astral plane, the goal of the technocracy is to transfer such workings to the material plane, where “mecha” (mechanical beings in the film) become “orga” (organic beings). It is even mentioned in the film by Gigolo Joe that orga hate and will be replaced by mecha, and they know it. Thus the descent from Flesh Fair to Rouge City, a degenerate liscentious red light district that is entire city is also the source of Dr. Know, the gnostic embodiment of rational thought.

Dr. Know-sis.

The City at the End of the World and the New Aeon
Dr. Know, a kind of 3D Google, informs Joe and David that “Blue Fairy,” the enigmatic representation of man and David’s religious quest, is to be found at the end of the world in Man-hattan. In the midst of this query, Dr. Know shuts off and becomes a message from Cybertronics to David. A riddle is given to tell David to come to the end of the world and seek out Dr. Hobby, playing on the archetypal quest that motivates David. The interplay between machine and machine is fascinating here, as both seem incapable of understanding the different semiotic usages and senses of words, puns and exemplification. Being overly literal, machines seem unequipped to joke, aside from Gigolo Joe, who is the “fairy in hand” that will accompany David to Man-hattan. As a side note, as David and Joe journey to Man-hattan, what appears to be a monolith is briefly shown on the New York skyline, as the scene fades to the World Trade Towers submerged in water. Is this a pre-9/11 reference to the coming destruction? Possibly, as other Spielberg-associated films like Gremlins 2 contain a 9/1-like scenario of the nasty batch taking over and destroying a tower and a scene with 9/11 referenced. Curiously, in this film the towers appear to be visible, so this connection is more ambiguous. The placement of the monolith, hearkening to 2001 however, is not. The Dr. Know sequence is also a revelation of the total panoptic goals of the technocracy, as Dr. Hobby reveals they had been watching David all along – it was all an experiment to see if David would seek out his maker. And when David finds Dr. Hobby, the discovery of a clone factory of Davids throws him into a rage. The spiraling, eternal cycle of the consideration of copies of copies interacting with still more synthetic and higher-level copies paints a bleak vision of a tech-obsessed future.

As Joe and David and Teddy approach Man-hattan a brief shot of a monolith is reflected on their copter. Immediately after this, the NYC skyline is shown with a submerged WTC.

David experiences a kind of “fall” here, where vengeance, hatred, rage and egoism emerge, throwing him into a fit discovering that Blue Fairy wasn’t real, and that Dr. Hobby had planned the entire quest as a sick experiment due to the loss of his own son. David sees that he was a manufactured being, completely unoriginal, and is a product of the ultimate consumerism – cloned and produced and consumed children. David then becomes suicidal, and after dropping towards his watery abyss tomb, Joe proclaims, ” I AM, I WAS,” which is a take on the famous Name of God from Exodus 3:14, where God says “I AM that I AM.” In the new world order of A.I., the deus ex machina of an emergent technological deity supplanting humanity is shown, as David becomes the founder of a new race. It is significant that as the aeons pass while David is submerged in the underworld, the new A.I. beings search for David in order to find their founder. We are left to assume that the A.I. defeated or outlived the humans who self-destructed and became extinct. Their alien appearance is reminiscent of typical Spielberg alien productions, giving us a contrast to Kubrick’s 2001.

Post-human era emerges with an iconic scene showing New York destruction prior to 9/11

In 2001, man battles HAL to go to the next level of evolutionary apotheosis, where here, man loses, and the bots continue on. Operating in a collective, the borg-like A.I. recreate David’s past and inform him that every particle of space reflect every other event that occurred - a profound Leibnizian concept I have expounded here at length. It is clear that whoever consulted with Spielberg on A.I. was undoubtedly very grounded in the establishment’s hidden metaphysics, and in fact, it was likely the establishment itself, as that relationship has long been known. David’s katabasis, or decent to the underworld abyss results in his resurrection, but we discover humans can only be brought back for one day. David retains the hair of Monica he cut off, and Monica is brought back for one day before passing away into sleep. That day is spoken of as a never-ending day, the day of eternity, in contrast to the night and moon imagery of the first two acts.  Just like Odysseus, Orpheus and Dante, David must descend to ascend, yet the trek to the depths of depravity in Rouge City and the ice tomb evokes a left-hand path of reaching gnosis (Dr. Know) through a dark night, prior to awakening.

Future A.I. archon overlords.

Conclusion: To Starchild and Beyond
While A.I. is still a cinematic marvel and a film of unparalleled genius, the ultimate message conveyed is not pretty. It is at once a warning and an establishment revelation of its materialist and esoteric credo – that the next aeon is not one that will be marked by the human. The notion of never-ending aeons is prominent in hermetic and esoteric teachings, as well as in Hinduism and Sufism, and suggests a Crowleyan idea of David as the “crowned and conquering child,” a kind of mecha/orga homunculus who will become the dayspring of a new aeon – one without humans, in contrast to 2001, where man defeats HAL to become Starchild. We see trigger codes, sex slaves, and ideas like passing through the abyss (David’s descent), so these notions are worth considering. David as a mecha with orga emotions and drives looks to be the new Starchild, and mankind will be left to the dustbin of history. Is David also an image of the programmed sex slaves and exploited tools of the elite, who are possibly bringing in the new religious aeon of a transhumanist singularity that will surpass the old religions of man? It is highly important in numerology that 2001 was the release date of A.I., as 2001 is the date chosen for Kubrick’s version of Arthur C. Clarke’s story (Clarke had definite occult associations, as well as Kubrick being visited by the CIA about his projects as Vivian Kubrick relates). That aspect is more speculative, but in any case, A.I is definitely a transhumanist fairy tale with a foreboding message.

‘Chilling Cruelty, Unspeakable Suffering & Corporate Denial’ – The Real Cost Of Canada Goose Jackets

With sales expecting to reach $30 million by the end of the year, the Canada Goose jacket has earned its respected reputation in the winter attire industry. Celebrities worldwide have been seen sporting the high-priced coat, including Meg Ryan, Kate Upton, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. Even Canadian politician Justin Trudeau and his family were photographed wearing the jacket in a family Christmas picture last year.

But all of the popularity surrounding the coat comes with a bone-chilling price, one that many animal activist groups are working diligently to expose.

‘Chilling Cruelty, Unspeakable Suffering & Corporate Denial’ – The Real Cost Of Canada Goose Jackets

December 11, 2014 by Jeff Roberts

Super model Kate Upton posing in front of her Sports Illustrated cover, sporting a Canada Goose jacket.

Last year, a disheartening video gained popularity around the web which exposed the heinous truth behind the production of the Canada Goose jacket. For those who don’t know, the hood of the jacket is bordered with a thick ring of coyote fur, known to avert the freezing cold temperatures of the northern climate.

According to animal rights activists, behind every fur trimmed hood and down stuffed coat is a brutal reality of Coyotes trapped and left to suffer in the wilderness.

Lindsay Rajt, Director of Campaigns for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) told the DailyMail:  ‘Canada Goose uses exclusively Coyote fur on the trim of their coats and those animals are trapped in a way that is just inherently cruel.’

The company has publicly stated that coyote trapping has been ‘a way of life for hundreds of years.’ According to a spokesperson for the firm: “The trapping of fur-bearing animals is strictly regulated by the provincial and territorial wildlife departments in Canada. We purchase coyote furs from certified Canadian trappers, never from fur farms or endangered animals.”

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Coyotes trapped for their fur

Yet PETA believes the company is avoiding an apparent truth. Mr Rajt said: ‘The company’s reference to AIHTS standards is meaningless and a way of placating and silencing people with valid concerns.” 

“Leg hold traps are still legal in Canada. Mother animals will chew off their limbs in order to get back to their young. The trapped animal might be there for days before the trapper comes and finds them, they are frightened and starving and in pain during that time. And then they’re bludgeoned or strangled to death or shot.”

Coyotes do not wait quietly for the trappers to come by. They struggle to get out of their traps, sometimes even biting through their leg to get back to their young.

PETA has appealed that the company stop using real coyote fur in favour of faux fur, as well as dump their use of real down feathers.

“Additionally, we are asking that Canada Goose dump down and opt for revolutionary synthetic technology like the one recently developed by The North Face – Thermoball, which mimics down but offers superior versality” said Rajt.

PETA has stated that they’ve tried multiple times to reach out to the Canadian company, but to no avail. In response to this statement, a Canada Goose spokesperson told the DailyMail “We’ve corresponded with PETA on numerous occasions and it quickly became evident that they were not interested in a constructive conversation.”

Canada Goose President Danni Reiss is a strong believer in their product, speaking for a corporate video he explains, “We use Coyote fur for a number of reasons. Number one, Coyote fur works – it’s functional, it provides warmth around the face in a way no synthetic fabric can. It does that in the coldest places on earth and it is important to realise that sometimes urban centres and cities can feel like the coldest places on earth.”

In response to PETA’s accusations, Reiss sated, “We understand PETA’s concerns and we respect the right of people to choose not to wear fur, however, we know PETA does not respect our ethical, responsible use of fur so further conversation won’t be productive.”

But Rajt doesn’t accept Reiss’s stance, “I just don’t believe that half the people wearing these coats understand what’s really involved in the making of them. And I just don’t believe that they would make that same choice if it was an informed one.”

Final Thoughts

Perhaps part of the problem is that many people simply are not seeing the real connection between the fur on their jackets and the animal that underwent severe pain and suffering for it to get there. If more people fully understood the process, would it change their decision to buy these jackets?

Inside a Canada Goose factory; by the year’s end, the revenue is expected to hit $30 million. How will the continued growth of this company impact animal conservation?

Like Rajt mentioned, there are alternatives which could be used instead of the coyote fur and the down feathers. We just need more people to be aware of this and to raise their concerns to the company.

With the company going international, the expected growth in the next few years is exponential. But along with this revenue growth comes the increase in the death of more and more helpless animals. Voting with your dollar couldn’t be anymore powerful in situations like these.

Please help us spread this awareness to protect these beautiful animals. Much love.

Who Owns the Earth? People versus Power      ~ we just gonna wait until these "elites' parasites turns this planet into the fucking ...moon huh ?  that the "plan' ...folks hum !

By Lesley Docksey

Global Research, December 12, 2014

Theme: Environment

In-depth Report: Climate Change

“We are now living outside of the laws of nature where nature is now turning against man and becoming the enemy.”  The Kogi Mamas
Last week the latest efforts to head off climate change started in Lima, Peru.  The aim of this latest conference (the twentieth, would you believe) is to produce a draft agreement on action, to be finalised in Paris next year.  With time running out it doesn’t look hopeful.  The world is silent.
In 1990 Alan Ereira made a film for the BBC, The Heart of the World: Elder Brother’s Warning.  In it the Kogi people of Columbia, having seen serious signs of climate change in their territory, issued a plea to the rest of us: stop living in our thoughtless, selfish way and wake up to what we were doing to the Earth.  (After so many years of it being available online, in the last week this film has become unavailable due to “copyright issues”.  Had it suddenly been resurrected by climate campaigners, and has been taken off by the powers that be because of the Lima Climate Conference?)
Apart from a procession of New Age eco-tourists flying out to Columbia thinking, wrongly, that the Kogi would welcome them, few took any real notice and they were soon forgotten.  Some years later Alan visited Glastonbury with an updated film.  The Assembly Rooms were full; almost all were young people asking questions about the Kogi’s sex lives.  What?  The Earth is being ruined and they wanted to know how the Kogi people screwed?  I despaired.
I still despair at times, because the indigenous people of Central and South America are showing us the way ahead, if only we’d listen.  Many of their countries have been paupered because of corporate-friendly interventions by the IMF and the World Bank.  The result, to the annoyance of the US, is an increasing number of left-wing, socialist governments.
Indigenous people have died in their hundreds trying to protect rain forests from ranching, illegal logging, and mining, oil and gas companies, the latest death just days before a planned protest at the Lima talks.  How convenient.
In 1994, in the Chiapas region of southern Mexico, the Zapatista revolution took place.  These indigenous people objected to powerful outsiders taking control of their land via the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) – ‘free trade’ standing for corporate profit.  They haven’t yet won their battle.  On the other hand the Mexican government has failed to control them.  The Zapatistas govern by consultation.  The decision to take up arms was a collective decision.  They do not elect leaders; they select those who will best voice community views, something the government could not understand, as the film A Place Called Chiapas showed.
The US has tried to extend NAFTA into the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA).  There were massive demonstrations.  Over 10 million Brazilians voted to withdraw from the negotiations.  While governments negotiate, the people know that such deals will damage their lives and their beloved Earth.  There are current trade agreements and almost all of them sideline the US and its corporate plans.
The Campesinos have created a worldwide movement of peasant farmers, indigenous peoples and fishermen from small beginnings in Paraguay, where they ‘illegally’ took over land in order to grow their food.  Workers in Brazil, Argentina and elsewhere took over factories closed by absentee owners.
Many ‘peoples movements’ started in the Americas and right now members from across the world are attending the Peoples’ Summit on Climate Change, running parallel to the UN climate talks in Lima, parallel because their voices won’t be heard at the ‘big table’.   Neither will young people be heard even though they will suffer more from climate change than those producing all the hot air.  Other activists were prevented from attending but then, even the UK climate change Minister, Amber Rudd, has been barred from going.
And the talks themselves are almost invisible in the mainstream media.  Apart from the environment-friendly Guardian, only the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times featured articles about it in the first week.  Obviously the ‘economics’ of climate change are more important than the future of the planet.
The LA Times limped in with a story about clashes between rich and poor nations slowing down the talks.  But that was basically it.  The UN News site had several items, it being a UN Conference.  All other news came from activists’ websites.  The message?  People care; power and politics don’t.  They will simply go on making money as long as they are able
To see how determined indigenous people can be in trying to protect their resources and the Earth, one should look at Bolivia.
In 2000 many Bolivians fought against a private water company taking control of their water.  The Water War lasted for four months, at the end of which the company fled and later presented a large bill (compensation for lost profits) which remains unpaid.  This was followed in 2003 by a Gas War, when the Bolivians resisted the corporate interests that wanted their vast natural gas resources.
This conflict rumbled on until 2005, when the millionaire President, known for speaking Spanish with an American accent, resigned.  An indigenous left-wing politician, active in the Water and Gas Wars, was becoming prominent – Evo Morales.  He was elected President and a whole new agenda appeared.  Suddenly people were demanding rights for Mother Earth.
In 2009 Morales, backed by other nations, addressed the UN General Assembly in a heartfelt speech, pointing out that it is no use discussing the effects of the financial, energy, food or climate change crises, without ever looking at the cause:

“The origin of this crisis is the exaggerated accumulation of capital in far too few hands.  It is the permanent removal of natural resources and the commercialization of Mother Earth…  Mother Earth gives life, water, natural resources, oxygen and everything that supports the well being of our people.  If we talk, work and fight for the well being of our people we first have to guarantee the well being of Mother Earth; otherwise it will be impossible to guarantee the well being of our citizens.  Mother Earth, Planet Earth, will exist without human life, but human life cannot exist without Mother Earth.”

He sought a UN treaty that gave legal rights to Mother Earth.  He asked for three things: that developed countries pay the climate debt they owe; that there should be a Court of Climate Justice; and that nations must declare and expand the rights of Mother Earth’s natural regeneration.  We’re still waiting on all that, but the UN did designate 22 April as International Mother Earth Day.  So that’s okay then.
In April 2010 Bolivia hosted a World Peoples Conference in Cochabamba.  35,000 people came from all over the world.  It produced a Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth.  This was followed by an international gathering in Ecuador at which the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature was formed.
In 2011 Bolivia passed into law an act protecting the rights of Mother Earth.  It then took a draft treaty to the UN, prompting outrage among all the right-wing corporate interests.  Last year, during a dialogue on harmony with nature , the General Assembly called yet again for real and rapid action that would protect the Earth and the future existence of humanity.
Also last year, a UN meeting on the rights of the indigenous peoples produced a document simply ‘inviting’, ‘requesting’  or ‘encouraging’ governments and corporations to listen to, engage with and recognise the knowledge that indigenous people have to offer.  More hot air and no action.  In June this year Morales hosted a G77 Summit which produced a Declaration titled “For a New World Order for Living Well”.
Unknown to the average person there have many attempts, some successful, to bring our treatment of the Earth within the law.  What Morales and his fellows have done is to keep pushing the Earth’s rights into the debates.  But debates alone will not heal the Earth or guarantee our future.
And all this is looked upon with scorn by our governments and their corporate allies.  Who cares about peoples’ movements or Bolivia?  And Morales himself is the first full-blood indigenous leader, for God’s Sake!  What does he know about running the world?  Come to that, what does man’s world have to do with Mother Earth?
But indigenous people know how the Earth runs.  Slowly we others are realising that we can’t own the Earth, or the water, the air, the forests and plains, or the fish in the sea.  The Earth doesn’t belong to us.  If anything, the reverse is true; we belong to it, a position the developed world spurns at its peril.
Will Lima produce anything other than another fudge?  I doubt it.  Corporate interests still dictate our future and we are deaf to the indigenous voices.  And as Jared Diamond showed inCollapse, civilisations have died out because of trashing their environments.  We are now trashing the whole Earth.
Man’s drive to ‘develop’, his inventions that require yet more resources, his desire to own everything in sight, to put his interests before those of any other life forms – all this has led to an Earth stripped of its flora and fauna, and its mineral riches without which we cannot sustain our current way of life.  Rivers run dry while the seas rise.
We will not kill life on the Earth; life is here and will evolve in strange and wonderful ways.  But we are destroying everything that we have come to know and love.  And while the Earth weeps and begs for our attention the world of men is silent in its selfishness.

HELL STORM

HELL STORM

There has been quite a buzz on the internet over a story that broke few days ago regarding a strange storm of white, heavy, and gooey raindrops that when they hit the earth evaporates into a fibrous substance. Marie Snow and her friend Cori Gunnels knew they stumbled across something sinister, when they saw what appeared to be 50 to 60-foot long “raindrops falling from the sky in clusters, after three military aircraft, including a C-130, flew overhead, minutes prior, at an altitude of an estimated 5,000-8,000 ft.
Snow and Gunnels, decided to collect samples of the fibrous material which was deployed from the three military planes over Chino Valley, Arizona, saving the samples for testing. In fact, the fibers looked so ominous that Snow even opted not to touch them with her “bare hands” and collected them on “white pieces of paper.”
The details of the find sound similar to a case that I recently reported on a cable television show called “Monsters and Mysteries in America.” In a report for the cable show I spoke about similar events that happened in the summer of 1994.
A bizarre sequence of events began to occur in the small town of Oakville, Washington. Gelatinous blobs of biological material began to rain down over an area of over 20 square miles during a storm.
It would happen six times in 1994, and continue periodically thereafter. The latest was during the third week of June 1997.”
The substance that fell had a mushy consistency and smelled like human waste. Members of the town became ill with flu-like symptoms when they came in contact with it. The substance was then sent to a lab for testing. The substance contained human white blood cells.
Lab technicians said that the sample had two types of bacteria, one of which could be found in the human digestive tract. The answer was clear; at least, it seemed clear enough. Authorities thought it had to be human waste from an airliner; however, FAA regulations require that waste matter dropped from aircraft be dyed blue. People of the area claim that before their town was hit with the substance there were strange aircraft and contrail activity over both Oakville and Everett, Washington.
The military had suggested that what fell from the sky was jellyfish remains that remained in suspension after war game drills were carried out and bombs were dropped into the ocean 20 miles away.
Now keep in mind this report happened long before there was a so-called chemtrail hysteria that has been reported for years.
Marie Snow and Cori Gunnels gathered many samples of the fibrous materials and also contacted a local news channel to find out just what has fallen out of the sky. The television station sent the samples to Grand Canyon University’s Forensic Science Lab for testing where a woman by the name of Melissa Beddow tested the samples under “40 times magnification.”
Beddow stated that the fibrous samples were likely “biodegradable gauze” from “nearby cattle farms”, made up of “a mixture of wheat, gluten, flour and bacitracin, an antibiotic” in what the network touted as a “straight story.”
However what is being seen on various chain link fences looks more gooey and web like and less dense than the sample hat was allegedly analyzed. Snow and Gunnels then had more samples sent to another lab in order to get a different opinion and analysis and what they got from the other lab was pretty amazing.
Further tests concluded that both samples tested positive for three metal analytes, “Aluminum”, “barium” and “strontium”, three substances commonly known by dedicated researchers to be found in persistent contrails or chemtrails.
When I read stories and opinions about chemtrails being a hoax or an overreaction to normal condensation trails, I have to point out the facts. Many people are aware of the fact that since 1994, there has been a sense of urgency to correct or control weather and jet stream anomalies using aircraft and laying down of trails in the skies.
While the chemtrail controversy has been downplayed as mere conspiracy theory it was the mainstream media that first suggested that these trails had an effect on the weather and that in the future jet aircraft would lay cloud cover on purpose in order to control the weather.
On December 8th, 1980 NBC news anchor John Chancellor aired the news feature “Clouded Judgment: Do Jet Contrails Increase Cloud Cover?” He and reporter Roger O’Neil gave the facts to the American people back when the fourth estate was actually something you could count on to get the news to the public.
In the report Roger O’Neil says that jet travel is inadvertently making our days cloudier and some day, weather researchers may be able to use jets on purpose to change our weather.
Whether or not this is a sinister plot by the government remains to be seen however the track record for the United States government and the intentional spraying of bio-weapons is well known.
The chemtrailing of the populace is not only damaging our health but it also is causing problems with the upper atmosphere. They have created a monster that is culling the entire planet. It is bio-engineered Iatrogenocide.
Despite visual evidence that every aspect of our physical environment is being manipulated and damaged for the war effort, some Americans cannot accept that dangerous covert operations are being conducted by a government they still believe to be a virtuous defender of freedom and are gullible with regards to geo-engineering and atmospheric tinkering. Their stumbling block is a numbing belief that their own officials would never perpetrate dangerous experimentation on humanity since “they have families too.” I have shown here that History and the release of declassified government documents disprove such naiveté.
Although “they” had families too, the U.S. government and its defense contractors exposed citizens of the Northwestern region of the United States to huge and deliberate releases of radioactive iodine from the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington state, where plutonium was produced for nuclear bombs virtually creating mutant citizenry prone to thyroid problems and cancers.
Those Cold War “protectors of freedom” released unleashed radiation illnesses upon thousands of down winders, some of whom received up to 350 rads of radiation, during radioactive bomb tests in Utah and New Mexico. To this day Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah contain some of the most dangerous pathogens in the world and whistle blowers have stated that there are still strange things that go on in the west deserts of Utah.
We are told that defense officials perpetrated these tests so that scientists can learn about how to “protect” Americans from nuclear attack.
Chemtrails are most certainly a reality because we know that geoengineering is a reality, and aerosolized delivery systems for biological and chemical weapons are a reality. We can speculate that chemtrails are part of a program to protect Americans from environmental catastrophe. However, we also know that the war machine has created aerosolized chemical and biological weapons and stimulants that they have tested on American citizens and this has been documented.
It is not a secret that the United States has a rich history of simulant and biological open air tests over populated areas. It is documented that bio-weapon open-air experimentation on the American people took place from the 1940s to the early 1970s.
The army released simulant agents over hundreds of populated areas around the country. Targets included portions of Hawaii and Alaska, San Francisco, St. Louis, Minneapolis, New York City, Washington, D.C., Key West, and many other cities. The purpose was to see how the bacteria spread and survived as people went about their normal activities.
Evidence suggested that the tests may have been causing illness to exposed citizens. Nevertheless, the health of the millions of people exposed was never monitored because the army assumed that the bacteria and chemicals were harmless. The tests involved spraying aerosolized simulants from planes and helicopters over populated areas.
In fact, after 45 years of open air testing, the army stopped using certain simulants for reasons of safety. In each instance, the army belatedly recognized they could be causing disease, birth defects and death, although such information had long been available in medical literature. This was the case in the 1950s when the Military stopped using “Black Mold” as a simulant. The fungus had long been known to cause aspergillosis, a disease that can be fatal.
Similarly in the 1960’s, the Army stopped using zinc cadmium sulfide; a chemical that had been known for years to cause cancer. In the 1970’s, the bacterium, Serratia marcescens caused many infections that lead to death of healthy individuals, was taken out of service as a simulant. And in the 1980’s, a chemical known as DPP, was removed from use as a simulant because of its carcinogenic and other toxic potential.
Neurotoxins that were used in the open air testing were known for causing birth defects and mutations in human and animal DNA. These effects were minimal according to the Military, and so these tests continued well into the late 1980’s; it was alleged that they stopped under the orders of then President Bill Clinton. More horrific information was released about biological human testing and the effects of open air tests on animals.
In 1979, a declassified review claimed that the United States intensified its development of ethnic weapons designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA. These weapons were classified under Project Code named MK-NAOMI which specifically was a plan to store materials that could either incapacitate or kill a test subject and to develop devices to use for the diffusion of such materials over widely populated areas. Much of the details of the operation and how the materials were dispersed is scarce. However, new programs replacing MK-NAOMI through the U.S. Army’s Special Operations Command gave evidence of at least three covert techniques for attacking and poisoning crops and animal products that have been examined under field conditions.
One of them included the deliberate spraying of neurotoxins on crops, cows, and sheep. Helicopters were fitted with spray tanks and later C-130’s were also fitted with tanks that would spray a chemical trail over a large area.
Modular Aerial Spray Systems (or “MASS”) were used to conduct night time aerial spray missions on animals and crops. Each system can be configured with up to four 500 gallon tanks for a total volume of 2000 gallons. C-130H aircraft were modified to perform aerial application of toxins. The MASS is built by Lockheed/Conair.
One of the major design criteria of the MASS was that it had to be a “roll-on/roll-off” system allowing the aircraft to be reconfigured for spray or airlift in under an hour. To accommodate the Roll-on/Roll-off design, the full MASS is designed in 3 modules, each attached to modified standard (463L) aircraft cargo pallets. The operators console, pumps, catwalks, and cradles for flush and chemical tanks are all secured to these modified pallets.
The pallets lock into the C-130′s dual rail system. Once the MASS is loaded, interconnecting plumbing and electrical circuits tie the MASS modules together. To contain any spillage of spray materials, a 1.5″ lip (drip pan) surrounds the pallets. The dry weight of the MASS is 10,500 lbs.
In 2003, a report was filed by Tectronics Limited regarding the creation of aluminum nano-powder using DC atmospheric plasma technology for upper atmospheric dispersal. The work was funded under contract from QinetiQ, formally the United Kingdom Defense and Evaluation Research Agency. QinetiQ is also a former partner of the Carlyle Group, a principle contractor of the military-industrial complex. QinetiQ the defense contractor for the multi- faceted atmospheric plasma program called “Cloverleaf.”
Operation Cloverleaf has been a modified atmospheric experimental program that has existed since the first Gulf War which includes and is not limited to: weather modification, military communications, space weapons development, ozone and global warming research plus biological weaponry, and aerial detection testing that uses aerosolized powders and modified agents that perform a multitude of tasks.
Chemtrails are real and they are being used to manipulate the environment. The American people will literally be sprayed over and over again with pollutant particles and so called harmless stimulant sprays. The particulates and stimulants are finer than a human hair and can be inhaled or ingested causing health problems that can be written off as naturally occurring.
As we stare into the haze of an oily sky and wheeze, vomit and cough with our modified diseases and pandemics attacking our immune systems, remember it is all for the war refreshers that let freedom ring. They claim falsely that it is all for the good of the people. Our own deaths will be at hand because we followed the advice of the social engineers that we are so enamored with. We continue to vote for them. The ones we gave a blank check to that will write us off if it means they can benefit.
With millions of lives in the balance this issue is one that you should not be sick of hearing about or talking about. It is unfortunate that the pandemics, the forced inoculations and chemtrail scares have now have been downplayed as minimal threats.
These are all conditioned and compartmentalized tests that continue to tamper with the environment and the overall health of the country. We will constantly argue that what we see in the sky are chemical trails or persistent contrails that linger with a possible secret inside them, a secret that can trigger a hell storm.
