Examining Extra-Dimensional Life and Worlds That May Exist Within Our Own

Arjun Walia

The possibility of multiple universes and multiple dimensions is not the stuff of science fiction. These discussions have been had throughout history. They were written about in ancient Greece, by Anaximander, and in Vedic scriptures, eastern philosophy and more. These concepts are found in almost every culture we know about, and span all centuries throughout human existence. This trend hasn’t stopped.

Today, there are multiple scientific theories that support the idea of parallel universes and multiple dimensions beyond our own, like string theory for example. Many researchers also base their ideas of parallel universes on quantum mechanics, the mathematical description of subatomic particles. In quantum mechanics, multiple states of existence for tiny particles are all possible at the same time — a “wave function” encapsulates all of those possibilities.

Coupled with these theories are also strange ‘paranormal’ events that have been witnessed by people over the years.

All of these factors and more make for an interesting discussion.

Plato once wrote, in his work,  Phaedo,

“And upon the Earth are animals and men, some in a middle region, others (elementals) dwelling about the air as we dwell about the sea; others in islands which the air flows round, near the continent; and in a word, the air is used by them as the water and the sea are by us, and the ether is to them what the air is to us.”

-Plato, Phaedo

Philostratus, who was called “the Athenian,” was a Greek sophist of the Roman imperial period. In his works, “The Life of Apollonius,” he explains,

“And they allowed Apollonius to ask questions; and he asked them of what they thought the cosmos was composed; but they replied; “Of elements.” “Are there then four?” he asked. “Not four,” said Larchas,  “but five.” “And how can there be a fifth,” said Apollonius, “alongside of water and air and earth and fire?” “There is the ether,” replied the other, “which we must regard as the stuff of which gods are made; for just as all mortal creatures inhale the wire, so do immortal and divine natures inhale the ether.” “Am I,” said Appollonius, “to regard the universe as a living creature?” “Yes,” said the other.

– The Life of Apollonius of Tyana, Philostratus, 220AD

It’s hard to know where to start because there are so many examples within the lore. Take Shambhala, for example, which is spoken about in Buddhist lore. It came to be known as a Buddhist pure land that exists within our own but in another dimension. It is a physical place with a geographical location as much as it is spiritual, and is said to be inhabited by very advanced and ‘enlightened’ beings. Its capital city is called Kalapa, which is located at the centre of Shambhala.

According to the Dalai Lama at a speech he gave in 1985 during the Kalachakra Initiations:

“Although those with special affiliation may actually be able to go there through their karmic connection, nevertheless it is not a physical  place that we can actually find. We can only say that it is a pure land, a pure land in the human realm. And unless one has the merit and  the actual karmic association, one cannot actually arrive there.”

According to Paracelsus, a German-Swiss physician and alchemist (like Issac Newton) who established the role of chemistry in medicine, in his Philosophia Occulta, translated by Franz Hartmann:

“Man lives in the exterior elements and the Elementals live in the interior elements. The latter have dwellings and clothing, manners and customs, languages and governments of their own, in the same sense as the bees have their queens and herds of animals their leaders.” 

One of the best places to seek the answer to this question, in my opinion, is through the writings of Manly P. Hall. His work, according to Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, “is a classic in the world’s literature” that “will guide histories, philosophers and lay seekers of esoteric wisdom for centuries.”

In his book The Secret Teachings of All Ages, An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy, 1928, he describes multiple beings that live within these realms, from nature spirits, to mermaids, Gnomes and more.

Here’s a description of Gnomes based on his research,

“The elementals who dwell in that attenuated body of the earth which is called the terrreous ether are grouped together under the general heading of gnomes. (The name is probably derived from the Greek genomus, meaning earth dweller.)

Just as there are many types of human beings evolving through the objective physical elements of Nature, so there are many types of gnomes evolving through the subjective ethereal body of Nature. These earth spirits work so close in vibratory rate to the material earth that they have immense power over its rocks and flora, and also over the human and animal kingdoms.”

-Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages

The above examples are simply a few of many to illustrate just how embedded these stories are within human history, and how they span across all ages. Coupled with modern day scientific theories and knowledge, it really makes you wonder about these realms.

It can feel frustrating because it’s so fascinating that one eagerly wants to peer into these realms to see truth. But can we ‘see’ truth? Can our own human senses even be trusted, especially when other realities aren’t even perceivable to them?

In the video below, Carl Sagan describes how a third dimensional creature trying to make contact with a second dimensional creature would be perceived by the second dimensional creature. He does a great job at explaining complex scientific ideas and making them understandable for most people.

UFOs are no longer a conspiracy theory, the topic has gone ‘mainstream’ and for many years the origin of these strange objects that perform physics defying maneuvers has been pondered by experiencers, military personnel, scientists and more. Many speculate that these could be extraterrestrial craft, while others speculate that they could originate from other dimensions as well. Both are probably a strong possibility in my opinion.

There is an FBI document that is addressed to “certain scientists of distinction,” to “aeronautical and military authorities,” and to “a number of public officials” that mentions this possibility. It’s one of many that do.

The document is a letter that was sent to the director of FBI in Washington from the San Fransisco office, on a matter pertaining to UFOs & extraterrestrials: It goes on to provide a copy of a letter written by someone with “several university degrees” and a former “university department head.”

The letter goes on to outline and state that according to this academic: (pages 21 & 22)

• Part of the disks carry crews, others are under remote control.

• Their mission is peaceful, the visitors contemplate settling on this planet.

• These visitors are human-like but much larger in size.

• They are not excarnate Earth people, but come from their own world

• The disks posses some type of radiant energy.

• They do not come from any “planet” as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us.

• The bodies of the visitors, and the craft also, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter.

• They re-enter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without trace.

• The region they come from is NOT the astral plane, but corresponds to the Lakas or Talas. Students of esoteric matters will understand these terms.

I am sharing this document because anybody who has been a deep diver on the UFO phenomenon knows that what is mentioned above represents one of dozens of theories with regards to the origins of these objects.

Lore regarding topics of multiple dimensions, other universes as well as beings and worlds within these worlds have always been fascinating to me. I think it’s just human nature to explore the unknown, and it’s only natural to have a yearning for exploration and discovery.

Given that humanity has become somewhat robotic like, where everybody is so focused on surviving and fitting in within the system, it seems such exploration and discovery has been halted.

The basic fact that what is mentioned in this article has been explored and contemplated since recorded human history, coupled with modern day ‘paranormal’ phenomenon, suggests that there are concepts of reality we have yet to understand. These concepts will always defy what we think we know and challenge current belief systems, which is uncomfortable.

It’s why centuries ago the church condemned and jailed scientists whose discoveries threatened the accepted view of reality. We are not much different today, there is a great effort today to uphold political, religious and ‘academic’ ideologies, even if it means suspending investigation and inquiry into real phenomena.

“All perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the akasha, or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never-ending cycles all things and phenomena.”

The Ukraine has fallen, Israel and Switzerland are next

January 30, 2023

Major victories by the planetary liberation alliance are now impossible to deny. The Anglo-Saxons, Russians and Chinese have reached a deal over the Ukraine and are now ready to finish off the remaining Khazarian Mafia strongholds of Switzerland and Israel. Once these control centers are neutralized, the final liberation of the United States will take place, making world peace possible.

This viral video with over 20 million views of a Pfizer executive freaking out is good evidence of how much control the Rockefeller/Rothschilds have already lost:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5n7RRKgDog

Since we assume most of our readers have already seen it, we will concentrate on the important facts it reveals. These are that Pfizer has publicly admitted to creating viruses in order to sell vaccines. The other is that Google and Twitter are no longer censoring truth about Covid and Vaccine crimes.

As a result information such as this is now reaching the sheeple:

A 700,000 person study from Israel showed that the double vaccinated were 27 times more likely to get reinfected with COVID, and data from England, Scotland, and northern countries in Europe show tripled vaccinated were more likely to die. – Richard Urso MD

Also bombshell new peer-reviewed scientific studies have revealed what many of us knew from the beginning: 5G radiation is not only connected to the Covid-19 pandemic, it actually induces the body to create new viruses and illnesses, including coronaviruses.

And before the mainstream media gets hold of this study and convinces the masses that it is unimportant, you should know that these are peer-reviewed scientific studies published on the National Institute of Health website.

https://rumble.com/v274idk-u.s.-government-admits-5g-radiation-causes-covid-19-stunning-admission.html

This means not only the pharmacidical companies but also the IT companies were involved in an attempt to murder a large percentage of the worlds’ population.

This sort of information is coming out in the mainstream now because the KM are losing control of the Fortune 500 companies. 

However, the story runs much deeper than that. The reason Western drug companies are forced to create diseases and then sell the cures is because they are forbidden from producing drugs that make us smarter, happier, stronger etc. A pharmaceutical company executive once told me nothing would be easier than to make drugs that would increase our IQs but that they were forbidden from doing so. He also said making new recreational drugs that were not harmful “would be incredibly easy.” The reason athletes are banned from “doping” to make themselves stronger, faster etc. is the same.

It is because the Octagon group at the top of the KM is deliberately holding us back as a species. They forbid drugs and genetic changes that would increase IQ etc. They also deliberately keep our lifespans artificially short so we do not have enough time to figure out the control matrix we are subject to.

In other words, defeating the KM will be much bigger than the fall of the Soviet Union. It will change everything. Computers are said to double in processing power every two years. Humans could do the same if they wished to and were allowed to. 

We are also about to be liberated from horrific slavery. For example, the US government has been subsidizing child trafficking in all 50 states. This is thanks to the “adoption and safe families act,” signed into law in 1997 by Bill and Hillary Clinton Rockefeller. Over $80 billion a year is being spent by the Federal Government for this program to give states over one million dollars for every child they seize from a family. The government itself admits that 83% of the children seized are done so under false pretenses.

It also now turns out they have been using fake drug tests to make it seem parents were “drug addicts” who had to have their children seized.

https://www.rt.com/news/570628-drug-tester-fraud-probe-custody/

The torture and murder of these children (to harvest adrenochrome) was video-taped and used to create a massive blackmail file of power brokers in the West. There was also a massive homosexual rape and blackmail ring that existed alongside the child murders.

For those who want to know more, this video talks about the bizarre anal sex rituals of the Satanists.

People who did not participate in blackmailable crimes were kept out of top jobs while those guilty rose to the top. We now know there are over 400,000 of these blackmail files, which explains why it has been so hard to drain the swamp.

However, the swamp is being drained. Western and Russian white hat special forces are now cooperating in operations against the Vatican and the Octagon headquarters in Switzerland thanks to detailed intelligence about their leaders.

For example, an insider who participated in “rituals performed at night in dark rooms,” overseen by Klaus Schwab Rothschild at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland says “the energy of... ... ...

Why transition to Electric Vehicles (EV’s) is set to be a national disaster

Ask most residents of Cincinnati, Ohio, where their subway is located and you will be told there is no subway. But their response is understandable. Under the streets of Cincinnati today, a vast intersecting web of tunnels with subway tracks in place actually does exist, construction of which began in 1920. However, due to the Depression and an approaching world war, construction was never completed. Most access points are now cemented shut.

Visitors to North Korea's capital city cannot help but notice the most dominant feature on Pyongyang's skyline. It is a narrow, pyramid-shaped building rising 105 stories skyward. While construction on what was to be the world's tallest hotel began in 1987, the Ryugyong Hotel project was abandoned in 1992. Although some subsequent work ensued, it remains unfinished today. Work was halted due to a funding shortage as well as the government's failure to fully analyze various engineering obstacles that would be encountered during construction.

The above are recognized today as two of history's eight biggest failed construction projects. However, of note is the difference for their failures. Construction stoppage of the Cincinnati subway was unforeseeable – the result of a Depression soon followed by growing global hostilities. But work stoppage on the Ryugyong Hotel was foreseeable. Insufficient funding by a government unable to feed its own people and its failure to think through all the engineering issues to be encountered beforehand demonstrated incompetence that led to a national embarrassment.

While the time and money spent on the Cincinnati subway construction was a waste, the impact of its loss was primarily on a local level. However, the time and money wasted on the Ryugyong Hotel impacted on a national level.

As the U.S. embarks upon a policy of transitioning from fossil-fueled cars to electric vehicles (EVs), shutting down our fossil fuel production to motivate citizens in this direction, and with states like California mandating no more of the former after 2035, unaddressed issues posture America to suffer its own "Ryugyong moment." For us, however, in addition to the loss of time and money is the potential of lost lives as well.

TRENDING: WATCH: EV spontaneously erupts on freeway: It takes 6,000 gallons of water to put it out

Ironically, we are blindly racing to cross the EV transition finish line without considering the impact of shutting down fossil fuel production, knowing these vehicles will be dependent upon an electricity energy source that itself is 80% reliant upon fossil fuels. While fossil fuels are obviously important to operating most cars today, we cannot ignore the fact they are just as important in providing electricity tomorrow even in an all-EV world.

Various actions being undertaken by Democrats suggest no one grasps the overall picture. During a House Natural Resources Committee hearing in November 2022, California Republican Rep. Tom McClintock shared insights into how Democrats are setting America up for disaster by pulling in two different directions concerning EV production.

He explained that copper is critical to such production, of which the U.S. has ample reserves. One such major copper deposit location is the Resolution project in Arizona, commended for using block cave technology to shrink its environmental footprint. As such, it was all set to be activated for commercial copper production when President Donald Trump left office, only to be blocked by President Joe Biden soon afterward.

Imploring the committee chairman to reverse course, McClintock pointed out the obvious:

"On the one hand, you want to mandate … electric cars … all in the name of saving the planet. Yet, on the other hand, you want to radically restrict mining, also in the name of saving the planet. Well, you can't do both."

McClintock went on to lambast Democrats for ignoring the need to have operating by 2035 over 300 mines to meet EV needs not only for copper but graphite, lithium, nickel and cobalt, according to industry forecasts. In fact, he added, EVs require six times the mineral input of fossil-fueled cars, necessitating more, not less, mining. (It is estimated mining operations to manufacture a thousand-pound EV battery equates to moving 500,000 pounds of earth.)

To underscore the absence of Democratic reasoning on the subject, McClintock stated, "If it is your contention that the mining required to produce electric cars is a threat to the environment, then you are also admitting that the electric cars that require it are a threat to the environment."

Democrats also ignore the fact, as U.S. mining production decreases and EV sales increase, we will have to rely more on mining production in other countries, such as Africa, where laborers will endure horrifyingly harsh working conditions to meet our needs.

While McClintock's comments just focused on the mining issue, there are several other EV issues in need of ample discussion before launching a full court press to transition.

Some of these include:

• Fire Hazard: The chemical fire hazard created by EV batteries, ignited either by a collision or, as Hurricane Ian demonstrated, by salt water exposure, are difficult to extinguish. In some cases, while appearing to be out, they flare up later. This danger should be of special concern to parents whose children now ride electric school buses.
• Charger Infrastructure: Major snowstorms have left EV drivers with limited power to heat their vehicles, eventually losing all power. A limited charging station infrastructure triggered long waits and raised concerns of system overload.
• Substation Outages: The electric grid is becoming a popular target for domestic terrorists as over 70 substations were hit in 2022, obviously creating a negative impact on transportation mobility in an EV world.
• Transformer Replacement: Concerns have long existed over the limited availability of large power transformers in the event of a major power grid catastrophe.
• Residential Chargers: Reportedly, the owner of an electric Hummer plugged his battery in on a Sunday, learning it would not be fully charged until Friday.
• Battery Disposal: The massive EV battery packs are not easily recyclable or disposable, creating a major ecological problem concerning disposal.

An interesting observation was shared by a chauffeur working the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where climate change experts keep sounding the alarm. She claimed many of the elites rejected EVs, concerned about how "dangerous" they are and insisting on being driven in fossil-fueled cars.

While Biden is cutting our domestic energy lifelines to transition America to EVs, he does so recklessly by failing to consider all possible factors of his Green Movement campaign. He should consider the consequences of this based on what has shockingly been occurring in pushing us in another alternative energy direction – constructing massive wind turbines to generate electricity. Several disasters have already occurred in which General Electric turbines, some taller than the Statue of Liberty, have collapsed – believed to be caused by foreseeable consequences ignored in the rush to install turbine capacity.

Absent fuller debate on the subject, the transition to EVs has the potential of becoming a national disaster. One critic concerned about the auto industry relying on an exclusive EV solution is the president of Toyota. He vows to keep manufacturing fossil-fueled cars. As a result – who knows? – perhaps by mid-century EVs will have gone the way of the Edsel with Toyotas saving America from a totally embarrassing "Ryugyong moment!"

Psychopaths, Power, and Politics

 

Incisive Analysis of Psychopathic Politicians

"Psychopathy is not a rare phenomenon. Dr. Hare estimates that psychopaths consist of 1% of the population. Other psychologists have estimates as high as 4%. That represents between 3 and 12 million Americans, millions of which are ... residing in positions of power with a psychological need to control and manipulate others. They are drawn to occupations that allow them to wield power over others, such as police, military, intelligence, and finance."
  ~~  From Chapter 3 of Timothy Silver's landmark book Lifting the Veil

Do psychopaths sometimes end up in positions of political power? Sadly, this is a topic that many people don't even want to discuss. It's an uncomfortable thought that some of the people running our world will lie, cheat, and do anything necessary to get what they want. Yet the truth is, we all know that many politicians and others in positions of power and authority are devoid of ethics and morals and will do whatever they can to gain more power.

The revealing essay below delves into psychopathy and how it affects politics in our world. You will learn the key signs of a psychopath and how and why some are able to rise to the very top of the global food chain.

This essay is taken from the incredibly profound online book Lifting the Veil, which uses hundreds of footnotes with links to highly reliable sources which reveal countless political and economic manipulations carried out in secret worldwide by powerful, well-hidden groups for decades. By educating ourselves and shining light into these shadows, we can more effectively work together to bring positive change to our lives and world. Thanks for caring.

Chapter III: Psychopaths, Power and Politics

“There is no such thing, in the psychopathic universe, as the 'merely weak'. Whoever is weak is also a sucker; that is, someone who demands to be exploited.” – Psychologist Robert Rieber¹⁶⁵

Psychopathy

What exactly does the word mean? Entertainment media bombards us with a particular version of the psychopath, one that is irrational, dangerous and violent. Someone who doesn't fit in, who 'just doesn't seem right'. Is this an accurate description?

Dr. Robert D. Hare, an eminent psychologist on the subject of psychopathy, portrays the disorder in a drastically different light. In his book Without Conscience, he describes psychopaths as being conscienceless yet rational, not suffering from any insanity or debilitation; instead they are logical, manipulative, predisposed to crime, selfish and without guilt, shame, remorse or empathy.¹⁶⁶ In other words, these men and women are not mentally ill in the sense that we traditionally imagine. Psychopathy is surely an illness, but it is not a neurosis that will manifest symptoms others can easily perceive. Often, the psychopath will be aware of his condition and completely conceal his aberrant traits.

In Without Conscience, Dr. Hare presents numerous case studies and statistics to illuminate the world of the psychopath; the evidence points towards a world full of people programmed for evil. Dr. Hare stresses multiple times that the psychopath is someone who has a strong desire for power and the need to manipulate others, not for personal gain but simply for the sake of manipulation. While some psychopaths are erratic, others have the ability to completely conceal their condition behind a carefully constructed social persona.

Dr. Hare's list of psychopathic personality traits include:

• Displaying glibness and superficial charm

• Being in constant need of stimulation and prone to excessive boredom

• Acting in a conning or manipulative way

• Showing shallow emotional responses

• Acting out promiscuous sexual behavior

• Behaving irresponsibly

• Avoiding long term relationships

• Feeling a grandiose sense of self worth

• Lying repeatedly without remorse

• Lacking any remorse or guilt

• Lacking empathy for others

• Having poor behavioral controls

• Displaying behavioral problems early on in life

• Behaving impulsively

• Failing to accept responsibility for actions

• Displaying signs of criminal diversity

Dr. Hare's predecessor Harvey Cleckly, perhaps the first psychologist to study the psychopathic phenomenon decades earlier, compiled a similar list:

• Superficial charm and average intelligence.

• Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking.

• Absence of nervousness or neurotic manifestations.

• Unreliability.

• Untruthfulness and insincerity.

• Lack of remorse or shame.

• Antisocial behavior without apparent compunction.

• Poor judgment and failure to learn from experience.

• Pathological egocentricity and incapacity to love.

• General poverty in major affective reactions.

• Specific loss of insight.

• Unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations.

• Fantastic and uninviting behavior with drink, and sometimes without.

• Sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated.

Most of the case studies Dr. Hare presents in his book are from the prison population and anecdotal accounts from those who have been abused. This is a natural, structural problem in the study of psychopathy: the study is limited for the most part to the 'Unsuccessful Psychopath', those who could not conceal their traits or whose social circumstances led to blue-collar crime.

Yet Dr. Hare also spends some significant time devoted to the 'Subdeviant Criminal', the psychopath who has control over his deviance and the ability to hide it from the populace. Instead of the petty criminal, these men and women occupy positions in business, government, industry, and law. Their condition goes entirely unnoticed by the populace; their employers, peers, even their family and those who love them are fooled.

How can such deception be possible? Consider that psychopathy is not an 'acquired' illness. Instead, it has strong genetic components and manifests itself in early childhood.^{167 168 169 170} From an early age, the psychopath recognizes that to fit into society in any manner they need to develop to ability to lie extensively. Over time, they become exceptionally good at it. Their entire public persona becomes one complex act, a web of lies to hide their deviant personality.

Sadism

A recent series of studies published in Psychological Science highlights the pleasure that persons with psychopathic tendencies derive from abusing others. These studies reveal that certain people take great pleasure in sadistic behavior, suggesting that in these subjects there is an “intrinsic motivation to inflict suffering on innocent others, even at a personal cost.”¹⁷¹

In one experiment, researcher Erin Buckels, from the University of British Columbia, found that there is a certain subset of people who chose to intensify the discomfort of others through directed white noise once they found that there would be no consequences for their actions. They were also willing to expend extra time and energy to be able to amplify the discomfort they were causing their 'opponent'.

“Some find it hard to reconcile sadism with the concept of ‘normal’ psychological functioning, but our findings show that sadistic tendencies among otherwise well-adjusted people must be acknowledged,” – Erin Buckels

“The researchers hope that these new findings will help to broaden people’s view of sadism as an aspect of personality that manifests in everyday life, helping to dispel the notion that sadism is limited to sexual deviants and criminals,” – Association for Psychological Science

Erin Buckels concludes that her research may offer valuable insights into domestic abuse, animal abuse, and military and police brutality, through the understanding that disposition to sadism and abuse is a personality trait that manifests itself in every day life. The true insights which can be derived from her work and those of other psychopathy researchers go much deeper than police brutality; they shed much needed light on the widespread relationship between evil and power.

Secondary Psychopathy

Understanding the nature of psychopathy alone does not reveal the full picture. Numerous researchers have differentiated between 'primary psychopathy', that which is genetic, and 'secondary psychopathy', that which is acquired through environment.^{172, 173, 174} Unlike the primary psychopath, who is born with their condition and lacks entirely the capacity for empathy and other higher human emotions, the secondary psychopath occasionally manifests these traits.

In other words, non-psychopathic individuals can exhibit psychopathic behaviors through the conditioning of their environment. Two well known studies in psychology underscore this.

The first is the Milgram Experiment. A volunteer would be placed at a booth with an apparatus that sends an electric shock to a person in another room. The volunteer believes the man in the other room is a fellow volunteer; in reality he is an actor that is not actually receiving electric shocks. The volunteer asks the actor a series of questions, a wrong answer means the use of an increasingly high voltage of shocking.

The volunteer would be prompted by a man in a lab coat to continue administering the shocks long after it had become unsafe. The verbal prodding would range between 'Please continue' and 'You have no other choice, you must continue'. After the shock reached 300 volts, the actor would stop answering, but the man in the lab coat would continue insisting on shocks. Dr. Stanley Milgram repeatedly found that nearly 2/3rds of people would continue to the maximum voltage of 450, long after they had believed their peer to be incapacitated.

Regarding the experiment, Milgram wrote:

“Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority."

The second experiment is the Stanford Prison Experiment. Volunteers were asked to simulate a prison in Stanford's psychology hall; half of the participants simulated prisoners and the other half guards. The guards were told to make the prisoners feel powerless though not resort to violence. Zimbardo, the lead experimenter, found that many of the guards stepped far beyond the boundaries of what had been predicted, leading to dangerous and psychologically damaging situations. A third of the guards had displayed 'genuine sadistic tendencies'. Some prisoners were emotionally traumatized and had to leave the experiment early. Zimbardo argued that his experiment shows that people internalize authority and submission.

Though the nature of the Stanford Prison Experiment does not lend itself to empiricism, it does give some credence to the idea that 'power corrupts' and changes people. Furthermore, an experiment published in August 2012 by the Journal of Experimental Psychology showed definite psychological changes associated with power. It found that people who considered themselves in positions of power literally perceived the world around them differently.¹⁷⁵

We would like to think that humanity has evolved since these experiments took place, and since the atrocities that were revealed after World War II. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In 2008, the Stanley Milgram study was reproduced, with only slight alterations to conform to modern ethical standards, and found the exact same results: A vast majority of participants were willing to inflict significant pain on another human if pressured to do so by perceived authority.¹⁷⁶

We do not need to rely on psychological studies to see the power of perceived authority causing abuses: we have tangible evidence of the relationship emerging frequently from the War on Terror. Most recently, it was revealed that the CIA made doctors and psychologists working at various Department of Defense institutions violate the ethical codes of their profession in order to become involved with the torture and degrading treatment of terror suspects.¹⁷⁷

“Medical professionals were in effect told that their ethical mantra "first do no harm" did not apply, because they were not treating people who were ill.” – The Guardian

The report, compiled by the Taskforce on Preserving Medical Professionalism in National Security Detention Centers, supported by the Institute on Medicine as a Profession (IMAP), found that doctors working with the Department of Defense and CIA routinely participated in waterboarding, sleep deprivation and force-feeding, the latter being against the rules of World Medical Association and the American Medical Association, while gathering and sharing intelligence.

"The American public has a right to know that the covenant with its physicians to follow professional ethical expectations is firm regardless of where they serve. It's clear that in the name of national security the military trumped that covenant, and physicians were transformed into agents of the military and performed acts that were contrary to medical ethics and practice. We have a responsibility to make sure this never happens again." – Dr Gerald Thomson, professor of medicine emeritus at Columbia University and member of the taskforce.

While participation in waterboarding and force-feeding may not be shocking to the desensitized public's sensibilities, it is still very revealing that physicians and psychologists who would otherwise balk at the suggestion that they would violate their professions ethical codes, do so without hesitation when it is done in the name of War. And after all, the United States did sentence Japanese war criminals to death for the act of waterboarding during the International Military Tribunal for the Far East following World War II.¹⁷⁸

Armed with this context, it is easy to understand the ease with which psychopaths can manipulate institutions and societies. A majority of people do not even have the psychological capacity to refuse authority, at least under situations of pressure. Putting the average citizen in positions of minor authority such as a police officer can cause behavioral and physiological changes in that person, disposing them to abuse. Therefore a psychopath in a position of power essentially has a vast pool of tools at their disposal to act out their twisted desires of manipulation and control.

The Pathocracy

Psychopathy is not a rare phenomenon: Dr. Hare estimates that psychopaths consist of 1% of the population, other psychologists have estimates as high as 4%.¹⁷⁹ That represents between 3 and 12 million Americans, millions of which are the 'Subdeviant Criminals' of Dr. Hare's lexicon, residing in positions of power with a psychological need to control and manipulate others. They are drawn to certain occupations that allow them to wield power over others, such as police, military, intelligence, and finance. Over time, they begin to saturate important institutions, being more ruthless and willing to cause more destruction in their rise up the ladder of power than their competition.

In the exact same manner that you and I naturally exclude deviants from our social groups, psychopaths naturally exclude those of us who allow conscience and morality to influence our decisions and perceptions. The result is a web of mutual conditioning of 'evil', where goals and actions become increasingly removed from the institutions original intention. This process has been occurring for centuries in banks, clandestine agencies, military, police departments, and governments, in nearly every instance hiding behind rhetoric and ideology that masks their true nature.

The rise of this process over decades results in a phenomenon known as Pathocracy.

pathocracy (n). A system of government created by a small pathological minority that takes control over a society.¹⁸⁰

Pathocracies have existed throughout history and many exist in the present. Unfortunately, there is a considerable amount of evidence that the United States has evolved into such a system of government, where clandestine and financial institutions saturated with psychopaths have gained enough influence to subvert the democratic process. Their rise to power coincided with the draping of a veil over their existence, through powerful propaganda and subtlety in action. This book is the history of the modern American psychopath in a position of power, and the goal is to lift the veil.

Does Pfizer Control All Major Media and Government?

Did you hear about the Project Veritas video of the Pfizer employee admitting that the company dabbles in what seems like gain-of-function research? If so, it means that you read Epoch Times, Twitter, or some Substack accounts, or listen to Tucker Carlson. Otherwise, the national media was stone-cold silent for three solid days. YouTube has taken down the video – even though it’s already been seen by tens of millions. 

Consider what this means. Let’s say that Pfizer had a financial stake in lockdowns, forced masking, forced vaccination, and the entire Covid response for the last three years. The silence on the latest news is a window into how and why the media story was so incredibly one-sided throughout. And why so many people now remain so propagandized and traumatized by it. 

Brownstone has been fighting these battles for a very long time and we are so grateful for your work in sharing our content. 

Quick points:

• Blindsight Is 2020 by Gabrielle Baurer is now available. You will want this book as a tribute to those who refused to go along during the great crisis of our lives. 

• We are strongly leaning toward creating a Shadow World Health Organization to shine the light on our new overlords and offer another way. It’s a two-year effort. If you are interested in helping with a larger gift, please drop a note to our President. 

• Our little supper club just blew up in size! We had 90 people last Wednesday in Connecticut and had to cut off registration. Pierre Kory did the presentation and he was amazing. 

• The hysterical attacks and misinformation about Brownstone are certainly intensifying but that is a tribute to the reach and impact. And we always appreciated your financial support. 

Here is some content from this week:

The Sovietization of Medical Care BY JEFFREY A. TUCKER  The further we move away from health care as essentially a doctor/patient relationship, with freedom of choice on all sides, and the more we allow central plans to replace on-the-ground clinical wisdom, the less it looks like quality health care and the less it contributes to public health. The Soviets already tried this path. It did not work. Health-care by modeling and data targeting: we tried it over the last three years with horrible results. 

Humanity Must Move Beyond Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt BY MICHAÉLA C. SCHIPPERS  FUD first brought about by a crisis in health, cascaded into loss of faith in government, in the people around us and sometimes in ourselves. Three years is too long a time for FUD to be considered a crisis, but when a crisis is not resolved, loss of hope is the outcome. Many people have lost work, friends, health and even their lives as a result. 

The War on Doctors and Patients BY PIERRE KORY. The suppression of doctors’ freedom to advise and treat patients began early in the pandemic. Promising alternative courses of treatment, such as generic drugs like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, were shouted down by false news narratives. Media companies took their cues from public health agencies, which exaggerated concerns over people using medicines to treat COVID in ways that were not intended and against medical advice. Positive clinical data was ignored.

The Grim Future of Establishment Journalism  BY DAVID JAMES. The professional liars have won. Newsrooms have been eviscerated because Google and Facebook took all the advertising revenue, and the spin merchants in business, government and nonprofits have almost limitless resources. If journalism – as opposed to commentary in blogs, websites, social media, and online channels – is to have a future, a new approach is needed.

CIA Agent Cloaks Lockdown Propaganda in Concern for China BY DEBBIE LERMAN. If anyone is wondering why it’s important to debunk and expose all of the fictions and propaganda of the Covid biosecurity agenda, this tiny window into the terrifying vision they have for our future is the answer.

The West Must Never Again Go Totalitarian BY JOAKIM BOOK. We might still have food on the shelves — though of worse quality and at much higher prices. We might still have the ability to move and work and travel, but heavily circumscribed, always at risk of canceling and always with papers showing the number of needles in your arm, or your scarred heart tissue. Nobody is torturing us (yet anyway) and for the most part we have some semblance of rights and freedoms remaining. But we’re closer to that horrific totalitarian world today than we were, say, five years ago.

The Impending US ICD Vaccine Passport and Its Unconstitutionality BY HARVEY RISCH.  The government itself—through the CDC—has determined that vaccination status is not of policy importance. There can thus be no compelling interest for the government to forcibly collect this information against the wishes of the population, even were it not stigmatizing. So much more so after the government has spent the last two years publicly demonizing unvaccinated people for their rational and legitimate personal health choices.

Timeline: The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2 BY EMILY KOPP.  This timeline compiles numerous sources in an effort to covey the backstory of the enormously influential article. The timeline is likely to grow as more information emerges. All times have been approximated to Eastern Time.

Engineered, Yes, but in the Wuhan Lab? BY WILL JONES. In fact, there is no evidence the Chinese were aware of the outbreak at all before December. U.S. intelligence has stated it does not have evidence the Chinese were aware of it prior to then, and this is consistent with how the Chinese themselves behaved. 

Yoga Could Lead to Non-Compliance, Warns NPR  BY AVATANS KUMAR. A Yoga teacher named Guru Jagat held in-person maskless Yoga classes in defiance of local stay-at-home orders, practices NPR cites as proof that she lost her mind. The author of the NPR article makes a series of unfounded claims about Yoga. In doing so, the author finds herself entangled in disinformation and reductionist arguments against Yoga and Hinduism. 

Why N95 Masks Fail to Stop the Spread BY MEGAN MANSELL. By examining the hypothetical best-case scenario, we can better predict if a given measure will have a mitigating impact on the identified hazard. For N95s versus output, particle- to- PFU ratios, and MID for SARS-CoV-2, best-case scenario of hypothetical perfect capture of matter that these apparatuses are neither designed nor approved to capture shows them to still be non-mitigating for this hazard, and recommendations for their use should be immediately reconsidered. 

The Great Resignation in a Collapsing Health System BY CARLA PEETERS. In an increasing number of countries all over the world chaos and despair is rising. People are more frequently ill and dying at higher rates than the past 50 years. At the same time health systems are deteriorating. We need to rethink humanness of health systems versus cold technological solutions.  

The Early Career of Covid Czar Robert Kadlec BY PAULA JARDINE. The name Robert Kadlec may mean nothing to you, but anyone who has watched Stanley Kubrick’s Cold War era satirical masterpiece Dr Strangelove will quickly get the idea of who this man is. Colonel Kadlec is the General Ripper of the War on Microbes. It is no small irony that the Biodefense Commission that Kadlec set up in 2014 is funded by the Hudson Institute, which was co-founded by Herman Kahn, the Rand Corporation war gamer. 

Jordan Peterson Against the Spirit of Totalitarianism BY THORSTEINN SIGLAUGSSON. Freedom of expression is the ultimate test of totalitarianism. Totalitarianism begins in the psyche of the extremists. Then it appears in the willingness to take away people’s freedoms. It appears in contradictions and untruths. But the opposition to free speech is what ultimately exposes totalitarianism beyond any doubt.

The Game Is Over and They Have Lost BY ROBERT BLUMEN. The script has worn itself out. These tropes are now tired and ineffective. The fear pushers seem unaware that the message has lost its effect, but do not have anything else to offer. The tell is not that they publish articles like this. It is how much these pieces show that they don’t know that the game is over and they have lost. 

Japan’s Covid Nightmare  BY RAMESH THAKUR. Japan hit 80 percent full vaccination (which translates into over 90 percent vaccination of adults) on 9 December 2021 when its Covid daily death rate was 0.01 per million. This had risen to 3.43 per million on 9 January 2023. Total deaths had increased from 18,370 to 63,777 over that period. Thus 2.5 times as many people died with Covid in the 13.5 months after than in the 21.3 months before 80 percent full vaccination. Yet they still refuse to entertain the notion that vaccines might be the problem, not the solution.
