So I replied to his tweet with a "quote tweet" and wrote the following.

They know they cannot hide or destroy the truth--so--they use large sections of the truth to create what appears to be an identical narrative--but--they omit &/or change significant details to protect their interests,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">and then they grease the skids with lots of money and media...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The "parallel" story is given to talking heads and "alt-media experts" and it's pushed upon the public as "the truth".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This creates a tasty distraction from the less linear "real truth" which is harder to find now, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">& harder to put together into a narrative without the complete set of facts which have been omitted & hidden.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Typically the "parallel" has elements of dramatic production value. This captures peoples attention and also often hinges on people's desire for drama and disagreement. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">They've used this paralleling tactic for centuries if not millenniums. It allows these hidden "families" to remain in power & control the flow of information.

Maybe earlier. Back then it was 'forum posts' where you'd see the blatant hijacking and 'flaming of threads'.<br /><br />There were guides showing how 'agents/shills'were assigned to take over boards or how to slide & bury information that they wanted to keep out of the public eye.<br /><br />This huge thread from reddit explains how pervasive all of this is now in the late 2000s:<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://bit.ly/2GcXTYw"><img height="400" src="https://external-preview.redd.it/jedZzH0YA1FR9JFONAKVxB2L-U5ii653djsFPDHICp8.png?auto=webp&s=872a760591fad1ee04967b66fa1dced8cf6d8e56" width="196" /></a><br /><a href="https://bit.ly/2GcXTYw">r/shills - Astroturfing Information Megathread- revision 8628 votes, 66 comments.

Especially social media.<br /><br />It really feels like you're interacting with real people.<br />And having a lot of "irl" contacts hides & masks that up to 40-50 percent of your interactions are with paid agents, shills, astroturfers (especially in political arenas), & lots of bots & AI.... So it's impossible to tell if you're even dealing with real people!<br />People get lulled into a comfortable stupor online.... Their social media and other web interactions make them forget that people are vying for their attention and especially for their money and consent.<br /><br />If you click "bot farm", these photos and articles are prevalent:<a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshlmIUYAETEbf.jpg"><img height="292" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshlmIUYAETEbf.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshmskU0AAEkUn.jpg"><img height="165" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshmskU0AAEkUn.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshndCUwAA_imI.jpg"><img height="320" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshndCUwAA_imI.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />Now THINK!

It's an illusion that it's organic. It's not. They trends are set by agreement.<br />The censorship & 'narrative creation' is worse than ever before. They are slowly hedging us into a series of digital prisons--AND--they are polarizing us & making us fight against each another.<br /><br />PLEASE STOP FALLING FOR IT!<br />WAKE UP. THINK!<br /><br />Your web experience is NOT organic.<br />The first interview I ever did online was with <a href="https://twitter.com/jessewaugh">@jessewaugh</a>. He invited me to talk about the tactic called "paralleling". Jesse is passed away now. He got sick in 2019 and never recovered. (<a href="https://threadreaderapp.com/hashtag/rip">#rip</a>)<br /><br />He was one of the 1st people to get popular on yotube for casting doubt on <a href="https://threadreaderapp.com/hashtag/Nukes">#Nukes</a>.<br />IN our interview, he explains how shills took over his message board and made it all about hating jews and hiding the organic conversations that were leading to good research and discoveries.<br /><br />You can listen to the interview here:<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.jessewaugh.com/radio/2018/3/30/sean-alger-on-paralleling"><img alt="S.B.

She was a lawyer who got disbarred in Virginia for exposing corruption and document forgery (and more) in the courts of that state.<br />I haven't seen her online in more than ten years. I would not be surprised if she's dead or gone into hiding.<br /><br />She had a show called "Precious Time Radio" and all the archives and web pages are scrubbed or just dead links.<br /><br />She would explain the tactics used by intel agents.<br />"PARALLELING" is the one I think is best to be aware of. They use it to get you off track from the 'real truth'. They create a nearly identical narrative--remove the info they don't like--& get some agent to promote it in a similar way to the truth.<br /><br />There are other tactics too:<br />LIMITED HANGOUT: This is when they run stories about something like Epstein or other 'controversies', but they only reveal a small bit of the facts, & they also 'steer you wrong' in their conclusions. Netflix docu-series about 'mee too' or 'pedos'... these are limited hangouts.<br />By searching "<a href="http://archive.org/">Archive.org</a>" i just found some old links and audios on Kennedy's old web pages.<br /><br />If you wanna giggle at bad web design and see some of the references, CLICK HERE NOW: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070626192327/http://www.precioustimeradio.com/pttableofcontents.html">web.archive.org/web/2007062619…</a><br />In conclusion,<br /><br />I had to leave this thread and finish up after a bunch of errands, so I kinda lost my flow along the way.<br /><br />I'll include an archive from a little known researcher named Bobby Garner, who had the now defunct '<a href="http://congregator.net/">congregator.net</a>'.<br />Here's a link to Bobby's email archive...

But Lester refused! And he went home and applied himself to solving the problems of his health. And what he discovered was a technique so simple and effective that it almost seems too good to be true!<br /><br />Lester was not only able to heal his health--but kept going--and he found what many might call "enlightenment" or "peace". He did it all by finding and welcoming every bad feeling, emotion and/or problem, and letting it come up, and then letting it go.<br /><br />Lester trained a lot of people to use his technique. His student, Hale Dwoskin, can be seen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpS0mty5_DU" target="_blank">HERE </a>demonstrating the technique.<br /><br />Hale is the author of "The Sedona Method", and you can find the book in the 1st link highlighted at the top.<br /><br />The teacher who I found is named Beth Martens. Beth actually had terminal cancer and was also sent home to die. Being she was a stubborn and resilient person--and also someone trained in the technique--she was lying in bed and using the process as a way to potentially accept her death. </p><p>Beth found that instead of dying--that what seemed like death turned out to be, "just a feeling", and she was able to release the feeling of dying and instead make a full recovery. She credits her success to this "Release Technique", and there are literally thousands with stories just like hers.<br /><br />People using the technique have been known to:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>avoid death</li><li>heal mental and physical ailments</li><li>let go of anger and depression</li><li>reverse financial hardships</li><li>find love</li><li>restore broken relationships </li></ul><br /><p></p><p>...and the list goes on and on!<br /><br />You can find my interview with Beth <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGgIslk8CFY&ab_channel=BethMartens" target="_blank">HERE</a>, where we talk about my own journey--1st as a practitioner, and now as a coach available for hire.<br /><br />You can find out more about my offerings at http://sbalger.com/<br /><br />You can find Beth at https://bethmartens.com/<br /><br />Beth wrote a book documenting her experiences, and she titled it: <a href="https://www.bethmartens.com/product_categories/56171-Book" target="_blank">JOURNEY</a><br /><br />In the book, she not only covers the Release Technique, but also explains how she found a series of Archetypes that help as a lens or overlay for studying what "phase of a challenge" you might be facing. I find these to work amazingly alongside my Release Work practices.<br /><br />Another great resource for FREE RELEASE HELP is the Monthly Support Calls from <a href="https://www.yoursedonacoach.com/meet-your-sedona-method-coach.html" target="_blank">SUSAN SEIFERT.</a><br /><br />You can find her archive of the past calls <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/40ss2mm7rheqqg6/AAAdNjiRQXe7tIo2oqdpc_7_a?dl=0" target="_blank">HERE</a>, and if you scroll to the bottom it will bring you to the most recent recording. These calls are live once a month--and--you can even participate and potentially get free help using the Sedona Method, from Susan, during the live offering.<br /><br />This technique has changed my life! I've been searching and finding and using tools of self improvement for decades. I loved this one so much I signed up with Beth and became certified.<br /><br />Please don't hesitate to message me via my website or on any of the various social media platforms.<br /><br />ps<br /><br />using youtube or google to search for Lester Levinson, or "Release Techniqe" or "Sedona Method", (especially if you include your specific challenge or issue), you'll get tons and tons of results.<br /><br />Many find great progress in a shor time, so I hope you'll try the technique, and if you want to talk about doing some work together... Please don't hesitate to get in touch ASAP!<br /><br />PEACE,<br /><br />-SB<br /><br /><br /></p>sewneohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11217023773440530400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423543460591316703.post-91466853311144443512022-03-02T14:25:00.000-08:002022-03-02T14:25:18.499-08:00"Overcoming Anger" (An article for the STAG-Re-Creation Men's Group)<p><b><u> Opening the "Vent"<br /><br /></u></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLF_Z9zToJ-v6qo_G4bNWQFbboFMT2PFGcdw0O1dfFOUdTLY-VHepcTRK6owKVyHmXJuHbwhwgevn3xGQHlypSbyKAKOloP1jDvtaH66-aMdP8peNMrsmQPbmvvEJET26IXIKHjZgYO63G/s1587/attack+of+the+monster+thing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1246" data-original-width="1587" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLF_Z9zToJ-v6qo_G4bNWQFbboFMT2PFGcdw0O1dfFOUdTLY-VHepcTRK6owKVyHmXJuHbwhwgevn3xGQHlypSbyKAKOloP1jDvtaH66-aMdP8peNMrsmQPbmvvEJET26IXIKHjZgYO63G/w386-h303/attack+of+the+monster+thing.jpg" width="386" /></a></b></div><b><br /></b><p></p><p><br /></p><p>I was gonna start a group talk about<b> "Overcoming Anger"</b>, cuz that's the topic Buffalo Rambler chose-- when we had a recent impromptu meeting--in the "STAG Re-Creation" group on telegram. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have some knowledge on this--<i>as I used to be in a perpetual smoldering rage</i>--but not so much anymore. But I do still occasionally have feelings of:</p><p><br /></p><p> <b>extreme rage, irritation, aggravation, frustration and anger, etc</b></p><p><br /></p><p>These still come up from time to time. And sometimes I still go back and use the old techniques I learned from my 1st "really helpful counselor": <br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/ShariSchreiberMA/videos" target="_blank">Shari Schreiber</a> (I sorted by 'most popular', so all of her <a href="https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/borderline-personality-disorder" target="_blank">BDP </a>videos are at the top)</p><p>To paraphrase her teachings,<a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk6MRNcRXF35eeB3Yjm2VlsJ1LWK7ruUK" target="_blank"> (or for Shari's Video(s) on ANGER click here now)</a>, but my paraphrase goes like this:</p><p><br /></p><p>You can't just <i>"sit with anger"</i> and expect it dissipate and go a way. Anger is full of energy, and if you try'n ignore it or "wait it out" or worse yet, "stuff it deep down inside", then it remains there--as a part of your emotional and psychological being. You've just neglected it, and your anger is "waiting on stand-by", and if you really wanna learn to "let it go" or "deal with it" you have to take some kind of action instead of just trying to ignore it or waiting for it to pass.</p><p>Many people are in a constant state of rage--but they're pretending they're not--and so eventually something triggers them to act out and "blow off steam". <i> Maybe you can relate to this feeling?</i> The feeling of knowing that eventually something is gonna snap. Someone is gonna be on the receiving end of all of your pent up and suppressed rage. And it might be a stranger--or someone you love dearly--<i>and you'll likely regret it...</i> It'll feel like an over-reaction for something that's "not that big of a deal", and you might end up apologizing or feeling bad (or worse)...<br /><br />Any of this sound familiar?<i> Don't beat yourself up about it. </i> It's pretty normal in this day and age--ESPECIALLY FOR MEN--to stuff their feelings down--and eventually reach some critical 'point of no return' and fly off the handle and yell and scream... <br /><br />Maybe even break some shit or get in an actual physical altercation of some kind. (This used to be me...) But I found these steps I'm about to describe--and it's helped me so much--and when "covid" 1st started, I found myself back in some familiar territory... <br /><br />I had some seething irritations! I found myself wanting to scream at people in traffic. Irritated with masked up morons at the grocery store... You know? And so I remembered my strategies that I learned from Shari back in the day, and I started using them again... And they really do help!<br /><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>(this is the S.B. Alger Paraphrase. If you want Shari's original exact advice, please refer to the videos linked above.)</i></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>These strategies for "Overcoming Anger" graduate in order from <i>"mildly irritated"</i> up to <i>"I think I'm going to fucking kill someone with my bare hands"</i>. So when you put them to use--typically--you would start with the 1st and easiest, and then continue down the list until you find your anger naturally dissipating:<br /><br /><b><br />Here they are: </b><br /><br /></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><b>WRITE IT OUT!</b></li><ol><li>Open a word processor, or get a pen and pad, or type furiously in an email or TXT draft, and just say EVERYTHING that you're angry about. Write it directly to the person or the "things" that are driving you up a wall. Don't hold back. Swear and cuss if that's your thing. Be aggressive and derogatory and mean and cruel. Take it to the natural extreme. Keep writing and writing as long as you have that "Aggressive Energy" still flowing. Even when it simmers off a bit--keep it rolling--get it all out. And here's the secret: DO NOT PRESS SEND. This isn't an excuse to let your anger ruin a relationship or hurt any feelings. If you're confident that you can "safely save it", then that's okay--and you might even wanna go back and read it again, when you're not all pissed off--but, if you think the person you're angry with might find it--then it's best to just delete it, or "burn it up", or remove it by whatever means necessary.</li></ol><li><b>SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS!</b></li><ol><li>You can do this in your car, or in your back yard--if you live out in the country--or if you're sure that your neighbors are cool and their not gonna come-a-knocking or call the cops. With this strategy it's good to let people know what you're doing (if you can't make time to be alone), because when a grown man screams as loud as he can--<i>over and over and over again</i>--it can be really scary and confusing. So get yourself a smart location and just scream. This was my main strategy after "the covid BS" really started to piss me off. I made a playlist on my Amazon Music called "HONORABLE ANGER SING ALONG", and it's mostly old heavy metal and hard rock songs from my glory days. I am a rock and roll singer--and I've got pipes. I can sing and I can SCREAM. And screaming and screaming into a microphone has saved me from many confrontations and fights and possible trips to jail. It's probably saved me half a million dollars in therapy bills if I'm honest. So give this a try. Next time you're super pissed off--get in the car--and get far away from everyone and just SCREAM. Scream "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" or, "FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUUUUUCKK YOUUUUUUU!!", and just see how good it feels. Or just roar and scream and yell--you can yell anything--you can scream like a girl or growl like a big dog with a bone. You gotta give this a try! (Please let me know how it works).</li></ol><li><b>GET A SMALL BASEBALL BAT OR BROOM HANDLE--AND BEAT UP YOUR BED!</b></li><ol><li>Okay this one take a little more care and preparation. You'll need a whiffle ball bat, or a kids size aluminum baseball bat, or an old broom handle or a stick... The instructions are as follows: Make your bed up real nice. Maybe add an old rugged blanket on top if you've got nice beddings or a pretty looking duvet cover--and then take your chosen implement of violence and just start smashing and hitting and whacking the bed. (You can vocalize during this one too--and it might help--but make sure you warn your housemates so they are not caught off guard)... But just GO TO TOWN on the top of your mattress. The only rule is that you have to keep on hitting and hitting and hitting until you literally don't have one drop left. Keep on smashing and whacking and bashing until you're out of breath and you can't even lift your arms up for one more blow. (Of course--please be careful--and take note if you've got prior injuries, or if you've got an old crappy bed that might break... And DO NOT USE A FULL SIZED BAT! Get something that'll work, but that's not too heavy. You wanna get the job done, but you don't wanna actually dammage and destroy anything.)</li></ol></ol><i>And that's it! </i><br /><br />These are three fine strategies for "Overcoming Anger", and they've worked well for me. Typically--I just use the 1st two strategies--and it's pretty rare anymore for me to have to get my tiny baseball bat and beat the living shit out of my bed covers... But I've done it! It works! <br /><br />These things have helped me more than any of the other things I'd tried in the past.<br /><br />You see, what Shari taught me was this:<br /><br />Anger isn't going to <i>'go away' </i>if you just sneak into the back room and do some deep breathing exercises--<i>or meditate or pray</i>--or just let the time pass until you feel different.<br /><br />Obviously those things DO work in a way, but what they DON'T do, is actually give vent to your real feelings of aggression and frustration. So if we just <i>stuff it and stuff it</i> and pretend like it's not there--then eventually--anger rears up it's ugly head and we say something we regret. Or even worse, we get in a physical altercation of some kind and we end up talking to the cops or other authorities. And this is just what we want to avoid!<br /><br />We want to<i> "Open the Vent"</i>, so that our anger can pass through...

I don't really have a 'readership' anymore, so I figured this is a fast easy way for me to make it available via hyperlink.

(Don't worry. Almost no-one reads my blog. No, really. :| )<br /><br />You see 'swale-man'...<br /><br />It was an excuse for me to make a coherent entry here--<i>because I mostly paste random data and old nonsense from the web archives</i>--and it feels good to create a post in the proper way. In <i>my old way.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">In the way I remember doing it, when the urge was strong enough, (back in 2009 and after), when I was inspired to write some of my own material.

Her work cleared up so much fuzziness in my thinking. Her blog is a priceless resource. You can just click her name to see it.<br /><br />The "all caps" link above will take you to the article I wrote about communitarianism. It was inspired by Niki. Her and her daughter Nordica Friedrich. They live a hard but amazing life--making their own yurts to live in, in interior Alaska--and sometimes, they'll still chime in about the politics of communitarianism and how it fits in with 2020--and the pandemic--and our "techoncratic/transhuman/transtopian future". <br /><br />I'll drop a few more links on the Communitarian subject, and then I'll move on down my little list... The one I made when we were on the phone. A list scrawled onto a paint sample card from Lowe's, here in Boise.

For example, I just sent them a USPS Flat-rate Box<span style="background-color: white;">™, stuffed full old wax candle ends, and AA and AAA batteries, and a few silly things for the kids. It's partly out of habit but mostly because I've watched them living this way for so long. I really hope you can make time for their work. Niki's done a lot of interviews too. I don't have a link right now, but you can always search, or just ask me and I'll zap you a few later on.<br /><br />ANYWAYS!<br /><br />I think that's enough about my friends and their journey into communitarianism and roughing it in Alaska.<br /><br />What else is on the list? </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">...oh yes. PARALLELING!<br /><br />So I found out about this disinformation technique from a woman named <a href="https://www.avvo.com/attorneys/23704-va-linda-kennedy-1844356.html" target="_blank">LINDA LEA KENNEDY</a>.<br /><br />Her work has been mostly scrubbed from the internet. I do hope and pray that she's still alive somewhere. If you use her name along with the name HABIB PETER KAWAJA, and use some<i> 'search magic',</i> you can find a few of the details of what I discuss briefly here:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.jessewaugh.com/radio/2018/3/30/sean-alger-on-paralleling" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: underline;" target="_blank">PARALLELING INTERVIEW</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">That link above ^^, is my interview with my sadly deceased friend <a href="https://www.jessewaugh.com/museum-of-pulchrism-blog/2016/4/29/jesse-waugh-on-wikipedia" target="_blank">JESSE WAUGH</a> (RIP). (and he's one of my most favorite artists of all time). We had some really excellent interactions in the short span of our friendship. He was actually the very 1st person to ask me for an interview and then to publish it. It was a shock--but in retrospect--it was really meant to be. <i> ( I was going to link his Wiki page, but of course, Wikipedia has since deleted him. ..so the link above is to his own blog page about being on Wikipedia. Ironic.)</i><br /><br />I've found that identifying "Paralleling", when it's happening, is a great way to get a tighter aim on the "real truth", because if their willing to parallel it, they'd really prefer people didn't know the full story.<br /><br />WOW! I didn't think we'd end up with a post this long... Fear not. Just a few more to go:<br /><br />I know we spoke briefly about <a href="https://www.amazon.com/John-Brisson/e/B00JW5DTQ6%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share" target="_blank">John Brisson</a>. He's been compiling work for a book on "The Finders", and he's an excellent resource on a lot of information in the "Satanic/Left Handed Path" niche. <br /><br />His youtube is called "We've Read the Documents", and he did a recent roundtable about the life of <b><u><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MSBfxecaDU&ab_channel=We%27veReadTheDocuments" target="_blank">Michael Aquino,</a></u></b> and it was excellent. That's only a tiny bit of what John's published. John's a truly great resource!

But I'm glad I made a reminder list during our talk--<i>and I'd love to talk again sometime soon</i>--and of course if there's anything I forgot just send me a message and I'll grab that too.<br /><br />I appreciate you. I feel this is the start of a good thing.<br /><br />God Bless!<br /><br />-sb alger<br /><br />ps<br /><br />if you'd prefer that I not keep this blog post public--just let me know--and I'll switch it around. It felt good to write a blog--and especially one with such a personal touch--but if it's more than what you're comfortable with being "out there" like this... Just say the word.<br /><br />pps<br /><br />I didn't go back and re-read and edit! This took me much longer than I thought it would...

And YHWH your G-d will bring you to the Land which your ancestors have inherited and you shall inherit it. And He will do well by you, and make you more numerous than your ancestors.” (Dt.30:4,5)<br />And the prophet Jeremiah said the same:<br />“The days are coming,” declares YHWH, “when men will no longer say, ‘as surely as the Lord lives who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but they will say, ‘as surely as YHWH lives who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the North and out of all the countries where he banished them.’ For I will restore them to the land that I gave to their forefathers…Then they will know that my name is YHWH.” Jer. 16:14-16, 21).<br />In order to delegitimize such prophecies the Roman imperialists, who wrote the Gospels, put into Jesus' mouth the words in which he disassociated himself from the God of the Bible thus leaving open the question of his sonship. They wanted, at all price, to turn the Holy Land into Palestine, which, finally, they did.<br />“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lies he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it. (John 8:44)<br />A Greek word translated as the “Jews” 'Ioudaioi” occurs 71 times in the fourth Gospel, most of the time in an antagonistic context, pitting that group against Jesus and his followers. Much of the ugly anti-Semitism of the last 2,000 years has been blamed on the Gospel of John. Hitler must have been influenced above all by the anti-Jewish statements of the Gospel of John (“children of light”=Christians; “children of darkness, or devil=Jews). John makes Jesus to believe that the Jews were children o devil.<br />The New Testament Heliocentrism for the “Children of Light”<br />The notion of “outer darkness” belongs to the heliocentric cosmology of the Aryans. The poetic figure of the Candle-Sun (See Mt. 5:15) stood for the Expanding Center exemplified in the Shri-Yantra mandala, which was composed around a central point – the metaphysical and irradiating point of primordial energy of Big Bang. The earliest state of disorganized creation or chaos was impelled towards the creation of a New Order (Dharma, Tao, Logos) whose heavenly nature holds from the center and spins all else around it because monarchy is necessary to the world for its well being (Dante). The swastika signifies the action of the origin or,vortex of the solar energy (Brahma) upon the Universe. The “outer darkness” is beyond the actual reach of the expanding center of light, or, using the poetic figure of the Persian poet Omar Khayyam “outside the box.” “And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.” John 1:5. And Heliocentrism was a perennial religion of the Romans. The New Agers are trying to establish a New World Order aka Global Capitalism. Ahmadinejad is a modern apostle of Omar Khayyam.<br />Wells states, “Scholars do not dispute that one of the motives underlying the gospels is the desire to set Christianity in the right light in the eyes of the governing class and Roman officialdom generally.” Brandon demonstrates that a major theme of the gospels is the turning of blame for Jesus' death from the Romans to the Jews. St. Augustine stated: “I would not believe th Gospels if the authority of the Catholic Church did not compel me.<br />That explains all those investigations of the alleged war crimes committed by Israeli soldiers during the war in Gaza and elsewhere. One could say, the Israeli soldiers, unlike the good French or British colonizers, who worship Jesus Christ are the children of devil, who “was murderer from the beginning.”<br />When Th. Herzl approached Pope Pius X in Jan 1904, seeking his assistance for the Zionist venture, the pope dismissed him with these words: “We cannot favor this movement. The Jews did not recognize Jesus, our Lord, and we therefore cannot recognize the Jewish people. If you come to Palestine and settle your people there we will be ready with priests and churches to baptize you.” And Card. Roncalli, the future Pope John XXIII, was sufficiently cooperative with Pius XII’s anti-Semitic policy, to advise the Curia against Jewish transportation to Palestine, which might challenge Christian possession of the profitable Holy Places. That’s why six million had to die! No pope throughout centuries has ever prayed that the Jews would one day have their own state in their historical Promised Land. On the contrary, it was mostly the Catholic priests who incited the Christian, and now Palestinian mob to pogroms and to complete isolation of the Jews inside their ghettos. Is not the fence that Israel built along its border a result of the perennial Roman ghettoization policy vis-à-vis the Jews?<br />Well, Pope John Paul II in his relentless pursuit of Palestinian statehood met with “martyrdom seeking” terrorist fuehrer Y. Arafat 14 times, thus turning Palestinians into the Vatican’s new “chosen people”, which was the core of the Roman policy of hate towards the Jews. The anti-Semitic mob applauded. John Paul II’s mad monk Father T. Rydzyk through his radio and TV stations promotes the Stuermer’s-like anti-Semitic propaganda even though it is against the Polish law. But it is in agreement with mainstream world media. This sole fact adequately mirrors the Vatican obsession with and fear of the Jewish state. Because, the furious opposition of the Vatican notwithstanding, the Jewish people received, after centuries of dispersion, their Promised Land back; as the God of the Bible had promised them.<br />The fanatical obsession of establishing Palestinian state was adequately explained by the Palestinian ambassador to Lebanon Abbas Zaki on 14 May 2009: "With the two-state solution, in my opinion, Israel will collapse, because if they get out of Jerusalem, what will become of all the talk about the Promised Land and the Chosen People? What will become of all the sacrifices they made – just to be told to leave? They consider Jerusalem to have a spiritual status. The Jews consider Judea and Samaria to be their historic dream. If the Jews leave those places, the Zionist idea will begin to collapse. It will regress of its own accord. Then we will move forward."<br />And the “Brotherhood of Pius X” aka the New Agers paralleling John Paul II's Neocatholicism in their missionary efforts directed at Jews, would prefer that before leaving the scene, the Jews would first put their G-d to death, by admitting that their faith was based on a fiction. This would mean a complete victory, as far as the priorities of the 'Aryan ascended masters' are concerned. In other words they demand from the Jews the recognition of two pillars of materialistic buddhism: heliocentrism and evolutionism. That would prove beyond any doubt that the God of the Bible is really a liar who deceived His people with the false ideas of creationism and geocentrism. And that was the primary goal of the double rehabilitation of those materialistic and atheistic Sciences.<br />Copernican science enabled Hitler to proclaim that the Bible was “Jewish folklore and therefore contemptible nonsense”. The Nazis commemorated the four hundredth anniversary of publication of Copernicus’s The Revolution in 1943 by issuing a post stamp in the occupied part of Poland called Generalgouvernement bearing Copernicus’s portrait (the young seminarian K. Wojtyla used to put this stamp on his letters). In the same year the Poles could hear the triumphant tone of the news: “The Jews have disappeared from Europe,” and the “reservoir of the East from which the Jewish plague has for centuries beset the people of Europe has cased to exist!” In what sense did Copernicus’s book justify the Final Solution of the Jewish problem? By negating Christian tradition of Europe Copernicus removed the one and only obstacle, which stood in the way of the racial solution of the Jewish question. Indeed, the Holocaust did occur at a time when the Bible had definitively lost its power over men’s hearts.<br />In the book entitled Kopernikus-Forschungen (published in Leipzig 1943 when the Warsaw Ghetto was burning) Eugen Brachvogel explained how the Church “enriched” her teaching by promoting the Copernican heliocentrism. In the chapter entitled Griechischer und deutscher Geist in der kopernikanischen Anordnung der Planeten he reminded the opinion of Werner Jäger: “Ein Zeitalter ohne alle Tradition hat es nirgendwo gegeben und wird es nie gegeben. Es wäre die grauenhafteste Verödung und Verarmung des Menschenlebens, die sich niemand auch nur vorstellen kann…Immer wieder ist die Wandelstern des europäischen Geistes auf seiner mehr als 2000-järigen Bahn mit der hellenischen Sonne in Konjunktion geraten.” (p.35)<br />In the opinion of the Nazi pagan author the most important achievement of Copernicus was that he “brought the planet of the European Spirit into union with the Hellenic Sun”. Obviously, the Nazi author, while writing this paragraph had in mind Copernicus's passage in his book (I, 10) in which he praised the sun as a god “ruling his family of stars.” Thanks to Copernicus the traditional, solar religion of the Imperial Rome regained its superiority over Judaic Christianity and Islam.<br />In his First Report….on the Books of the Revolutions of…the Reverend Doctor Nicolaus Copernicus of Torun Rheticus wrote about Copernicus: “…he assumes new hypotheses, not indeed without divine inspiration and the favour of gods…” Invoking mythological gods in contradistinction to the Biblical monotheism was a common practice in the Renaissance period. Because the Renaissance had opposed to the Judeo-Christian ideal of obedience to revelation of God’s Law, the humanism of the Greeks. The early Christian rejected their pagan beliefs for the same reason as the author of the Martyrdom of George of Cappadocia who made the spirit to raise up from the dead a pagan called Boes, in order to tell Dadianus, the governor that he had been on earth a worshiper of the “stupid, dumb, deaf, and blind Apollo.”<br />Resigned to his Dumbness<br />Archbishop Dziwisz said the last words he heard the pope say were ‘totus tuus,” the pope’s Latin motto for “completely yours.” Well, the whole world saw the picture of the pope after his tracheoctomy, when he tried to say a few words. In vain! The only sound, the millions could have heard was something like a shriek and after that the pope resigned himself to his dumbness. I dare to think that it was the God of the Bible's critical review of John Paul II's pontificate.<br />Well, in his dedicatory letter to Pope Paul III, published with the Revolutions Copernicus extolled mathematics as his most important tool proving the intellectual superiority of Hellenistic heliocentrism over the biblical geocentrism.<br />Interestingly, Copernicus contradicting himself, did not use mathematics to prove the movements of the earth. Rather, totally in agreement with the spirit of the Renaissance paganism, he proved the immobility of the sun by pointing to the divine rank of the sun to whom the earth as his maid makes obeisance by circling his Majesty:<br />“W conceive immobility to be nobler and more divine that mutability and instability, which latter is therefore more appropriate to the earth than to the universe. I add to this that it would seem quite absurd to attribute motion to that which contains and locates, rather than to that which is contained and located – namely, the earth.” Well, in all materialistic systems throughout all ages motion is inseparable from matter.<br />Shakespeare immediately embraced the Copernican doctrine, because it justified the absolute power of all Christian monarchs, the pope included<br />The glorious planet Sol<br />In noble eminence enthroned and spher’d<br />Amidst the other…<br />The sun not only is the King of the sky<br />But he is like the King<br />And the King is like sun.<br />Contrary to the prevailing opinion that the Church persecuted heliocentric doctrine from the beginning, which culminated in the Galileo Trial, the letter of high ranking curialist cardinal Schoenberg encouraging Copernicus to publish his book and therefore printed as a second preface to The Revolutions points to something very important, namely the Copernicanism being the fulfillment of the gist of the Catholic atheistic theology as established by the so-called Angelic Doctor i.e. Thomas Aquinas:<br />Like Strato, Thomas Aquinas acknowledged atheist naturalism as in some measure an intellectually considerable alternative to theism: “ It seems that God does not exist. For if of the two contrary things one were to exist without limit the other would be totally eliminated. But what is meant by this word God is something good without limit. So if God were to have existed no evil would have been encountered. But evil is encountered in the world. Therefore, God does not exist.” The second objection of Aquinas is a statement of Naturalism, the view that all the phenomena of the Universe can and must be explained without reference to any principles in any sense “outside,” or “beyond.” In Summa Theologica Aquinas identified God with the impersonal, mechanical Eternal Reason of the philosophers which has nothing to do with the personal God of the Bible. In this way Th. Aquinas prepared way for Copernicus and his sun god as the ultimate natural ruler of Nature.. Thomas Aquinas’s critical judgment of the Ptolemaic system, which was regarded heretic by Rome, sounds like that: “The assumptions made by the astronomers are not necessarily true. Although these hypotheses seem to be in agreement with the observed phenomena we must not claim that they are true. Perhaps one could explain the observed motion of the celestial bodies in a different way which has not been discovered up to this time.” It is a paraphrase of Averroes, a vile atheist’s critic of the same system. In conformity with the natural religion of Aquinas.<br />Obviously the disciples of Thomas Aquinas had not ceased to worship. They had only given another form and a new name to the object of worship: having denatured God, they deified nature. They could, therefore, without self-consciousness, and with only a slight emendation in the sacred text, repeat the cry of the psalmist: “I will lift up mine eyes to Nature from whence cometh my help!”<br />The Exodus disclosed a God who was intensely concerned with human affairs. Whereas the surrounding gods were primarily nature deities, reifications of the numinous awe that people feel for nature’s grand phenomena, the Israelites’ God had come to them not through sun or storm or fertility but in a historical event. The difference in religious meaning was decisive.. The God that the Exodus disclosed cared enough about a human situation to step in and do something about it. That realization changed Israel’s religious agenda forever. No longer would the Jews be party to cajoling nature’s forces. They would rivet their attention on discerning Yahweh’s will and trying to enact it.<br />Interestingly, the well-known Polish poet Aleksander Wat who sought refuge during WWII in the USSR mentions in his Memoirs titled My Century that while he was doing time in the dreadful Lubyanka Prison in Moscow he could borrow from the prison library the books by St. Thomas Aquinas. The French Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin who was mourning his Church’s unwillingness to incorporate what Science had discovered into its understanding of the world, criticizing the “geocentricity” to which she clung psychologically for four hundred years after she had ceased to support it astronomically, and rebuking those religious thinkers who recognized nothing new under the sun since “instantaneous creation” is honored by the Moscow Museum of Atheism which is exhibiting his books. “Creationism” is as ugly word in the USA as it was in the USSR, or in the ancient Rome where to millions it seemed that everything was governed by the sheerest luck, or chance.<br />There are no gods: to say that Jove reigns is wrong;<br />'Tis a blind chance that moves the years along<br />Juvenal, Satire X<br />At a scientific convention in Chicago in 1980, over 150 of the world’s leading evolution experts faced the facts of the fossil record and virtually pronounced the death of Darwinism. They admitted that after 120 years of digging, the fossil record showed that there are no fossil links between one species and another, i.e., there are no transitional fossils. Thus, it was acknowledged that there is indeed a genetic barrier between species which renders impossible the theory that mankind evolved from apes...<a class="keychainify-checked" href="http://archives/2009-0531-blackshaw-evolution.htm" style="color: #de7008;" target="_blank">More>>> John Paul II silenced their voices by rehabilitating evolutionism.</a><br />Thomas Aquinas was a professor at the Paris Sorbonne and as such he can be considered as the father of the “bolshevik” French Revolution symbolized by an actress standing on the altar of Notre Dame as the goddess of Liberty. So it comes as no surprise that it was Aquinas's compatriot a certain engineer Foucault who built a machine which allegedly proves the truth of the Copernican system and at the same time explains away the existence of the God of the Bible. Foucault's Pendulum is a reminder that the French Revolution of 1789 and its anti-Semitic slogan Ecrasez l'infame never really ended. In the mind of French revolutionaries and especially of Voltaire, the Jews were relics of a barbarous and obscurantist past, and as such were unworthy of the rights of free men..<br />William James observed in his book Scientists: “There never lived a set of men more blinded by dogma to the meaning of the past, to the trend of the future, by the belief that they had a new truth (for New Age). No one of them can lift the stone and show what lies under Darwin’s demonstration. They run about with little pamphlets and proclaim a New Universe (aka Theosophists' New Age) like Frenchmen. They bundle up all beliefs into a great Dogma of Unbelief, and throw away the kernel of life with the shell…”<br />The most important observation regarding the human psychology states: “ It is not scientific to invent theories to explain away that which you do not like...Even scientists have not been able to explain life so far.”<br />Here is how the Encyclopedia Americana describes the working of this deceitful device:<br />Foucault's Pendulum is dependent on the principle enunciated in Newton's Firs Law of motion, that a mass moving in straight line tends to maintain both the direction and speed of its motion unless it is acted on by some external force.<br />First of all, the mention of Newton's first law of motion in the context of this device reminds of the cult of the Soviet party bosses who always opened their speeches by quoting a line from the “bible” of dialectic materialism” which proclaimed that there is no matter without motion. This law is contradicted by a magnetic device centered in the floor beneath which issues its command to a cylinder hidden in the heart of the sphere, thus assuring continual motion. (Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum. Translated from Italian by William Weaver. Ballantine Books 1988, p. 3) This is confirmed by Wikipedia: “Foucault pendulums in museums often incorporate an electromagnetic or other drive to keep the bob swinging; others are restarted regularly. In the latter case, a launching ceremony may be performed as an added show.”<br />In Umberto Eco's international bestseller a student wearing glasses explains the functioning of the pendulum to a girl as follows:<br />“It proves the rotation of the earth. Since the point of suspension doesn't move...”<br />“Why doesn't it move?”<br />“Well, because a point... the central point, I mean, the one right in the middle of all the points you see ...it's a geometric point; you can't see it because it has no dimension, and if something has no dimension, it can't move, no right or left, not up or down. So it doesn't rotate with the earth. You understand? It can't even rotate around itself. There is no itself.”<br />“But the earth turns.”<br />“The earth turns, but the point doesn't. That's how it is. Just take my word for it.” The pertinent question here is: How can you suspend anything on something that has no dimension? Only if you can imagine the axis of the earth rotation as a Euclidean line, the North or South Pole would be such fixed points.<br />“Once set in motion, the pendulum will continue to oscillate with a constant amplitude. It also tends to swing continuously in the same vertical plane in terms of a coordinate system fixed in space, except as constrained by gravity. But the earth itself, as a result of its daily motion, will rotate constantly beneath the pendulum bob. If a graduated circular dial is placed beneath the pendulum, the linear path of the pendulum's motion will apparently rotate around the dial's center like the hands of a clock. If the Foucault pendulum is located at either of the earth's geographic poles, this apparent rotation will occur in exactly 24 hours. Actually, it is the earth that has rotated beneath the pendulum in this period while the pendulum's direction of motion remains fixed in space. This is a common laboratory proof of the earth's rotation.”<br />Well, if it is the earth that rotates constantly beneath the pendulum which makes the pendulum's bob to imitate the hands of a clock we wouldn't expect it to swing freely in any direction which is made possible by a ball-bearing pivot at the top of the cable. The fixed point of suspension mentioned by Eco's student stands for the stationary sun of the Copernican system. We can measure time by translating the movements of the sun into the earth's movement. But could we do the same if both the sun and the earth moved. Could you tell me what time is it if both the dial and the hands of your watch moved?<br />Foucault's original pendulums at Paris rotated clockwise at a rate of more than 11° per hour, or with a period of about 32 hours per complete rotation. The rate of rotation of a Foucault pendulum can be stated mathematically as equal to the rate of rotation of the Earth times the sine of the number of degrees of latitude. Because the Earth rotates once a sidereal day, or 360° approximately every 24 hours, its rate of rotation may be expressed as 15° per hour, which corresponds to the rate of rotation of a Foucault pendulum at the North or South Pole. At latitude 30° N—for example, at Cairo or New Orleans—a Foucault pendulum would rotate at the rate of 7.5° per hour, for the sine of 30° is equal to one-half. The rate of rotation of a Foucault pendulum at any given point is, in fact, numerically equal to the component of the Earth's rate of rotation perpendicular to the Earth's surface at that point.<br />Which means that, judging by Foucault's pendulum, certain regions of the earth rotate faster or slower than the others. Our watches show otherwise. Under Foucault's mechanical tyrant the natural cycle of day and night would be disturbed. People living closer to the equator would be forced to work longer than the people living in the circumpolar zones.<br />Foucault's pendulum, which I call Foucault's merry-go-round, gives the distinct impression to viewers that they are watching a process which proves the Earth is rotating, the signs tell them flatly that such is the case. Viewers assume that this Pendulum is giving observable proof that the earth is moving. They are told on the signs that they are viewing a scientific demonstration which proves the earth is moving. Everybody knows that (having learned it as a scientifically proven fact that throughout their school years) that the Earth is rotating on an axis and orbiting the sun. Now they see the confirmation before their very eyes. Who now can doubt the “science god of truth?!” aka “Stupid, dumb, deaf, and blind Apollo.” Who now dares to believe the Bible is without error?! People watch a minute or two, read the message, and go to another taxpayer supported “educational” display which tells them that life on earth has been evolving for three billion years and that they are the end result of that evolutionary process (M. Hall, The Earth is not Moving. 1991, p.170). Like the Aryan Ape King, Hanuman.In other words, exactly like in the above mentioned Moscow Museum of Athism. Foucault's merry-go-round and the so-called moon walk giving the false impression of the moving earth belong to the same magic repertoire. Indeed, in the heliocentric hoax the moon has to go on its trajectory around the sun in the opposite direction than the earth, but this dogma itself belies the heliohoax, because it suggests that the moon is moving back and forth at the same time, which inspired Lenin's dialectical derogatory dogma of 1904 about the party of Mensheviks going one step forward and two steps back.<br />There is one Foucault Pendulum in New York, in the UN Building, there's another one in the science museum in San Francisco, and God knows, how many others. Pendulum's presence in the UN Building proves how important for the religious purposes of the New Agers the Copernican hypothesis is. This pendulum stands for ecumenism in hatred expressed by ideologically kindred movements: the Renaissance paganism, the Nazism and the Palestinian solar baalism.<br />Bertrand Russel expressed his reservation toward mathematics as the ultimate proof of truth even more succinctly: “Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little: it is only its mathematical properties that we can discover.”<br />Pope John Paul’s Speech<br />In his speech of reply to the members of the Pontifical Academy and other distinguished guests the Pope explained:<br />The problem posed by theologians of that age was, therefore, that of the compatibility between heliocentrism and scripture. Thus the new science, with its methods and the freedom of research which they implied, obliged theologians to examine their own criteria of scriptural interpretation. Most of them did not know how to do so. It was French Cardinal Poupard who wrote his speech. The Pope caps this with a generous tribute to Galileo the theologian: ‘Paradoxically, Galileo, a sincere believer, showed himself to be more perceptive in this regard than the theologians who opposed him.’<br />One last remark, When you go to a Chinese restaurant, you can see the cooks preparing your meals, but you are not allowed to see the underground mechanism of Foucault's Pendulum. When Marshall Hall, the author of The Earth Is Not Moving went to Paris to investigate closely the device a “series of mishaps prevented him from access to its inner working,” which he mentions in his book. Because the French diplomats need a “Scientific” justification for their branding Israel as a “little, shitty country.” The French revolutionary slogan Ecrasez l'infame is still leading the French scientists in their anti-Biblical propaganda. It was the Red Army, which after capturing Poland in the 1940s recognized as its most important task to launch the University named after Copernicus in Torun, where he was born. John Paul II, so to say, canonized it by his rehabilitation of Galileo with the help of the Soviet physicist A. Sakharov, who was proving in his researches that the sun is immortal, like the mythological phoenix.<br />The following is an excerpt from Prof. Stuart A. Kauffman's Online article titled<br />Breaking the Galilean Spell:<br />“Even deeper than emergence and its challenge to reductionism in this new scientific worldview is what I call breaking the Galilean spell. Galileo rolled balls down incline planes and showed that the distance traveled varied as the square of the time elapsed. From this he obtained a universal law of motion. Newton followed with his Principia, setting the stage for all of modern science. With these triumphs, the Western world came to the view that all that happens in the universe is governed by natural law. Indeed, this is the heart of reductionism. Another Nobel laureate physicist, Murray Gell-Mann, has defined a natural law as a compressed description, available beforehand, of the regularities of a phenomenon. The Galilean spell that has driven so much science is the faith that all aspects of the natural world can be described by such laws. Perhaps my most radical scientific claim is that we can and must break the Galilean spell. Evolution of the biosphere, human economic life, and human history are partially indescribable by natural law. This claim flies in the face of our settled convictions since Galileo, Newton, and the Enlightenment.” Breaking the Galilean Spell actually means Breaking the Thomistic Spell.<br /><a class="keychainify-checked" href="http://archives/2009-0531-blackshaw-evolution.htm" style="color: #de7008;" target="_blank">In the Latin tradition the words ‘God’ and ‘Nature’ are interchangeable and that explains the equivalence of Aquinas's God with Natural Laws (the Vatican brands in vitro fertilization because it is against Natural Laws not against God's Laws) and Copernicus sun god replacing easily the God of the Bible. But the creative acts of Nature are not the same as the creative Acts of YHWH described in the first chapter of the book of Genesis. There is no word 'nature' in the Bible and there is no entry 'nature' in the Encyclopedia Judaica. In this context the entry 'nature' in M. Eliade's Encyclopedia of Religion should be read</a><br /><a class="keychainify-checked" href="http://archives/2009-0531-blackshaw-evolution.htm" style="color: #de7008;" target="_blank">Will Durant, in one of his books wrote, Anaxagoras’s On Nature (480 B.C.) was acclaimed by the intelligentsia of Athens as the greatest scientific work of the century. It carried on the traditions and speculations of the Ionian school. The universe, said Anaxagoras, was originally a chaos of diverse seeds (spermata), pervaded by a nous, or Reason, akin to the source of life and motion in ourselves. And as reason gives order to the chaos of our actions, so the World Reason gave order to the primeval seeds, setting them into a rotatory vortex (Aristophanes in his The Clouds satirized this vortex as Socrates’ substitute for Zeus; Newton identified his gravity with the 'spiritual body' of Jesus Christ), and guiding them toward the development of organic forms. This rotation sorted the seeds into the four elements – fire, air, water, and earth – and separated the world into two revolving layers, and outer one of “ether” and an inner one of air. In consequence of this violent whirling motion, the surrounding fiery ether tore away stones from the earth, and kindled them into stars. The sun and stars are glowing masses of rock. Probably other celestial bodies are inhabited like the earth (original idea of aliens); upon them “men are formed, and other animals that have life. All organisms were originally generated out of earth, moisture and heat, and thereafter from one another. Man has developed beyond other animals because his erect posture freed his hands for grasping things (squirrels use their front legs while eating their nuts but that doesn't turn them into humans). The speculations made Anaxagoras at once the Copernicus and Darwin of his age. The Athenians might have forgiven him these hypotheses had he not neglected his nous in explaining the events of nature and history; they suspected that his nous was a device for saving his skin (exactly like the Logos is in the Gospel of John). He aroused the simple by giving a natural explanation of meteors, and reduced many mythical figures to personified abstractions. The Athenians took him good-humoredly for a time, merely nicknaming him Nous. Cleon, his rival, brought a formal indictment of impiety against him on the charge that he had described the sun (still to the people a god) as a mass of stone on fire, and the philosopher was convicted. Copernicus did not repeat his mistake and called the sun Reason of the World, and therefore sun god.</a><br />Teilhard de Chardin believed that belief in God and assent to the theory of evolution are completely compatible. In his Phenomenon of Man, he teaches that the law of entropy applies merely to the without of things, and that it must be complemented by a law of complexification that explains the within of things. The law of complexification governs the emergence from matter of life, intelligence, and spirituality, and finally directs the entire evolutionary process to its termination in the Omega Point, which is God himself. Well, in the Aryan mythology God is called “puru” i.e. Point, like the point which explodes in Big Bang and expands the world and then after the Big Crunch it returns to the same point, called by The French Jesuit the Omega Point, which is a variant of nirvana. The Nazis translated the slogan Ecrasez l'infame Juda verrecke.<br />What Ecrasez l'infame really means<br />Plato called by the church fathers “divine Plato” said that a poor man...who was no longer able to work because of sickness should be left to die.” (Alvin Schmidt, How Christianity Changed the World, 2004, p. 128)<br />“The graceful Greeks laughed at the 'graceless' Jews for recoiling in horror at the Greek custom of exposing an infant to death when the shape of its skull or nose did not please them.” (Max Dimont, Jews, God and History, 1994, p.108)<br />“Society as great authorized agent of life must be made responsible for every unsuccessful life – it has to pay for it, so it must prohibit it.” -A. Hitler, Mein Kampf<br />Voltaire said that Plato should have been canonized by the Christian Church, for, being the propounder of the Christos mystery, he contributed more to its fundamental doctrines than any other single individual. Some argue that Plato's tyranny, his cruelty and lust for dominance are forgivable because he was writing so early in the history of rationalism. Well, the Ten Commandments were revealed even earlier. Plato famously warned of the evil of democracy. Well. Hitler turned the Jews into slaves and let them die of starvation and cruel, sadistic treatment.<br />Immaculata:<br />Already in the 50s, when Wojtyla was getting his doctorate in theology, his dissertation director, the eminent Fr.

Penny Dreadful star Reeve Carney has been cast as Buckley and Medium/ <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145531/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_23">Gospel of Thomas channel</a> Patricia Arquette has been cast as his mother. <br /><br />For those of you who may not know, Buckley died by drowning in a river in Memphis, TN in 1997, just as he was celebrating the completion of a new group of songs for the follow-up to his 1994 breakthrough album, Grace.<br /><br /><br />I don't know if they'll include former Cocteau Twins singer Elizabeth Fraser in the story; if they've read my posts on Buckley's relationship with the Siren, they may very well not. It's not a story a family would want to tell. <br /><br /><br />But it's the only story that's true.<br /><br /><br /><br />It's also a story I wanted to revisit not only in light of the news on the film but in light of some rather bizarre omens and portents I've recently discovered within (and without) the Cocteau Twins' catalog itself. It's been almost five years since I wrote in depth on this story so I felt the time was right to revisit it.<br /><br />Longtime readers will be familiar with some of the synchronicities I uncovered earlier-- one I still can't believe myself-- but as it happens this tragedy is like all great mythic tragedies; it seems to have been a long time in coming. The players involved were merely acting out roles written for them long before their grandparents were born. <br /><br />There's one particular detail in this story that will leave no doubt in your mind as to the truth of this statement.<br /><br /><br /><br />If anyone outside rock snob circles knows Liz Fraser it's from 'Teardrop', the song she recorded with Massive Attack, which was used as the theme song for the long-running medical drama House, MD. Some may know her singing from the Lord of the Rings films, some may know her songs from The Lovely Bones, Peter Jackson's adaption of the novel about a murdered girl wandering through the afterlife. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjHuSRxpfHv7_oJj6IQtMqAwMxoHLPzrUXoTfUx-DNxYbAHjhnHsMb8G20LzwuB2pWZWrn97EgqCnHPHSjF6LgsXrRvEGoCK5Jt_P9e72TL5yZGVMRARrvZdN3hPNqA8WForDA1q8jDrg/s1600/starsailor.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjHuSRxpfHv7_oJj6IQtMqAwMxoHLPzrUXoTfUx-DNxYbAHjhnHsMb8G20LzwuB2pWZWrn97EgqCnHPHSjF6LgsXrRvEGoCK5Jt_P9e72TL5yZGVMRARrvZdN3hPNqA8WForDA1q8jDrg/s1600/starsailor.jpg" /></a><br /><br />David Lynch fans may know her version of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren" (a song he tried to use in Blue Velvet) from Lost Highway, which featured- you guessed it- Patricia Arquette. That song was released on the album appropriately titled It'll End in Tears, a supergroup effort of the British indie label 4AD.<br /><br /><br />But unless you were there, you'd never know the nuclear-bomb effect she had when her banshee howl first dropped onto the rock cognoscenti's consciousness with 1983's Head Over Heels LP. It wasn't as if an alien had landed and joined a rock group, but...<br /><br /><br />No, scratch that. <br /><br /><br />It was exactly as if an alien had landed and joined a rock group. <br /><br /><br />Not everyone heeded her siren's call, but many of those who did found themselves buying up every scrap of vinyl her voice could be found on, so much so that the Cocteau Twins dominated the independent charts in the UK for much of the early to mid 1980s.<br /><br />The Melody Maker newspaper declared her, "The Voice of God." Even a nowhere indie band like Felt had a UK hit (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCRdY7ZH7xo">"Primitive Painters"</a>) simply because Fraser yowled on the choruses.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg80LJXa5isnM_z2_27apdiIfJdmKJpEn1ouwT_AZhoAy_zBuIfNqcpt_qZaPDtWf3Qs_gn_0t-AFD9oXTGnBT_6Cnk-1fvuI7moJuM7HD4c7St97lQWuunKbcFkQjqtpBLXsPewp1Zp4w/s1600/RM-19861018-Cover-1.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg80LJXa5isnM_z2_27apdiIfJdmKJpEn1ouwT_AZhoAy_zBuIfNqcpt_qZaPDtWf3Qs_gn_0t-AFD9oXTGnBT_6Cnk-1fvuI7moJuM7HD4c7St97lQWuunKbcFkQjqtpBLXsPewp1Zp4w/s1600/RM-19861018-Cover-1.jpg" /></a><br />The Siren and Sideshow Bob<br /><br /><br />I myself was a tireless evangelist for the Siren. I had been a big Kate Bush fan but literally overnight Bush seemed hopelessly twee and upper class in comparison to this elemental power, which had Kate's soaring beauty but a undertone of ancient terror that only descends upon a host. It can never be learned or practiced. <br /><br /><br />I enjoyed watching friends sitting stunned as they first heard that yowling. "Alien" (most often), "ghost", "witch", "mermaid", and "fairy" were the terms you'd hear people use to describe her. Not quite human. <br /><br />Celebrities like Robert Plant, Prince, Madonna and the Cure's Robert Smith were known to be fans, others surely among them (obviously directors like Lynch, Jackson, Alan Rickman and Gregg Araki). Certainly artists like Bjork, The Cranberries, Sinead O'Connor, Grimes and The Sundays were hugely influenced by Fraser's fractal vocal acrobatics.<br /><br />The Twins' first Los Angeles appearance put the audience in a state not seen since <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cui9x_aWXuk">Azusa Street, </a>according to reports at the time. Metal bands as unlikely as Jane's Addiction and Type O Negative would raid the Twins' catalog for riffs and take them straight to the bank.<br /><br /><br />Jeff Buckley heard the Siren's call too, smitten by her version of his father's signature song. He sought her out, little realizing that Muses, Sirens and other such spirits find broken vessels to express themselves through.<br /><br /><br />At the time he met her, the Siren was in the middle of a personal meltdown springing from undealt-with childhood sexual trauma and he was a young up-and-comer who soon realized he was in way, way over his fucking head. He inevitably --and fatefully-- broke her heart, leading to the Cocteau's Twinlights EP (as in "we are twin lights…"), filled with Fraser's painfully desperate pleas to Buckley. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhXwwXfIWHBwqCKMbNefJa1QKcrptuRe6NSwhF8r1DGVZjiXSU4VjW0dNJbU-yAZLAOiY77eDIIOCREsbgqAYrJeGZgjL1bV4L_uNJqlTZHHdI2jExFdOwTOqo6fZ0DYJ2CabnJIVEck/s1600/rilkean.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhXwwXfIWHBwqCKMbNefJa1QKcrptuRe6NSwhF8r1DGVZjiXSU4VjW0dNJbU-yAZLAOiY77eDIIOCREsbgqAYrJeGZgjL1bV4L_uNJqlTZHHdI2jExFdOwTOqo6fZ0DYJ2CabnJIVEck/s1600/rilkean.jpg" /></a><br /><br />A short film called Rilkean Dreams (Fraser compared Buckley to the poet Rilke) was made in 1994 as a promo for the EP, named after the heart-rending "Rilkean Heart." It's hardly a promo as much as it is a nakedly confessional video love-letter to Buckley, with Fraser explicitly apologizing in song for being too needy and clingy here and then accusing Buckley of being selfish and immature there. But it's the symbolism that gets you.<br /><br /><br />The opening shot of Rilkean Dreams is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIyKQWCqzlI">of a slowly rushing river</a>. <br /><br />Followed by a sunset. <br /><br /><br />If ever there was an argument for teaching the art of divining omens and portents in school, that's pretty much it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxQIcUChIZ0CVK_twUJC1q3YLHBzRgKSZfrPzE5Ok3sNg6AA-h092FMWnwQGbGO7zxUEBJTu5k3Ntqb0bv8Yb-Shyphenhyphen5HLViIYYO3SvJitABAcuAV8Pt7HtOcailz1Wlq-Dpzq3UT5B8uhk/s1600/liz-new.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxQIcUChIZ0CVK_twUJC1q3YLHBzRgKSZfrPzE5Ok3sNg6AA-h092FMWnwQGbGO7zxUEBJTu5k3Ntqb0bv8Yb-Shyphenhyphen5HLViIYYO3SvJitABAcuAV8Pt7HtOcailz1Wlq-Dpzq3UT5B8uhk/s1600/liz-new.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The emotional distress Fraser was under came at the worst possible time, after the Cocteaux had signed to a new label who were giving them a major promotional push, booking them on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4arnK6ZFck">Jay Leno's</a> and Jools Holland's shows, among others. Fraser's singing entered what fans came to call the "dolphin in distress" period, a bizarre and unmusical, Yoko-like series of clicks, grunts and yowls. It was devastating to witness for those who had worshipped at her feet only a few years before. <br /><br /><br /><br />It was the vision of a woman struggling to exorcise whatever wraith had once possessed her. The band tried to explain it away as an artist trying to expand her palette or some such nonsense, but the excuses were laid bare when Fraser was hospitalized for a full-scale nervous breakdown at the end of tour.<br /><br />Her singing on record had already become increasing wispy and ethereal as she sang an octave out of her natural range, almost evaporating entirely on the band's final two albums. The euphoric, ecstatic yowling that literally electrified listeners in the 80s was barely heard, if at all.<br /><br /><br />At some point Fraser and Buckley reconciled, as detailed <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/http://secretsun.blogspot.com/2008/01/siren-part-4-theft-and-wondering-around.html">here</a>. The Cocteaus toured again in 1996 and judging from many recordings, Fraser's voice had returned to its mid-80s peak form. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnPvnIKCJYA">Buckley and Fraser even recorded a duet</a>, but somehow they split again, and Buckley decamped to Memphis to fight a case of writer's block while maintaining a relationship with another singer. <br /><br /><br />He should have learned from his last experience.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The details of his death sound exactly like what happens when powerful forces detatch themselves from myth and legend and decide to run rampant through consensus reality. <br /><br />Don't take my word for it- watch the video. <br /><br /><br />I know that these things happen, it's just that this is the most compelling example of that reality I can think of at the moment. You may have other examples to contribute- I welcome you to do so in the comments.*<br /><br />Just in case you missed the reference,<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7K72X4eo_s"> this is the video to the song Fraser was recording</a> while Buckley was dying, a song she had written about him. Not long after his death, Fraser would walk out on her band forever.<br /><br />In hindsight, I am not even remotely surprised. Something very, very powerful took possession of Fraser, used her to express itself and as has become clear in recent years, moved on to another host. <br /><br />Her lyrics may have been unintelligible but the meaning of her songs was always clear- it was primal energy unleashed from a time perhaps before there were human beings as we understand the term today. These are forces that we can only sense the contours of, but are not allowed to truly know. Even mainstream rock critics sensed a very old religion at work, perhaps old in the Theosophical sense. <br /><br />Songs like '<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr8u0VeHWVw">Persephone</a>' make the heaviest metal sound tame, because Fraser doesn't sound like she is singing about the Queen of Hell, she sounds like she has become her. The ancients would understand. <br /><br /><br />One human being can harness that for so long. We're just not made to channel that kind of energy. I know of no performer who was able to sustain the kind of intensity the Cocteaux unleashed in that 1982 to late 1990 period, releasing seven albums and ten EPs, nearly all of indispensible quality. <br /><br />Even The Beatles were done in by it.<br /><br /><br />Time has subsequently shown just how fragile Elizabeth Fraser is. I don't want to diminish her talent as an artist in her own right, but it's clear that who she is now and who she was then are two entirely separate realities.<br /><br />LET'S GO TO THE TAPE, BOB<br /><br />I realized that I hadn't really explained the Cocteau Twins' music in previous Siren articles, so here I will offer up capsule reviews of their discography and comment on the chronology of the Siren drama as it unfolded. As you will see, the music itself was an integral part of the drama; the story and the songs cannot be separated. <br /><br />You need to understand the context of the music and the effect it had to understand how the drama unfolded. This is especially important now, since kids have no sense how much music mattered to people in the 80s and early 90s. I'll review their discography and place it in the context of the overall Siren drama. <br /><br />Fasten your seatbelts- I've uncovered some new information that will leave no doubt as to the forces at work in this drama.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZfnvFtn0BfD-nyjT_OLIgdtiyfh1xlkB97_zAgrXjbx3cKVsMY7wRYGPEPRRwVwiRw-07OwrMWAf2hsUzwGoO1Gk9oe8biLvVX9ZF1X1v6yVtmE3kat6ASlUcsvkjJTIM9tn75WHbomQ/s1600/garlands.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZfnvFtn0BfD-nyjT_OLIgdtiyfh1xlkB97_zAgrXjbx3cKVsMY7wRYGPEPRRwVwiRw-07OwrMWAf2hsUzwGoO1Gk9oe8biLvVX9ZF1X1v6yVtmE3kat6ASlUcsvkjJTIM9tn75WHbomQ/s1600/garlands.jpg" /></a><br />Garlands (1982) Fraser picked up Siouxsie's witch-broom just as the Banshees were headed off into Top of the Popsville. This is a deeply divisive album with many Cocteaux fans (the leadoff track is entitled 'Blood Bitch') but I love it. It sits perfectly alongside Unknown Pleasure, What's This For?, 154, Metal Box, and of course, Juju- a dark, occultic, throbbing post-punk filled with rumbling Rickenbacker bass chords, Robin Guthrie's guitars with stompboxes cranked to 11, and tribal drum machine patterns.<br /><br />All of that is topped with Fraser's warbling and yipping and precocious swatches of lyrics, ripe to bursting with the imagery of ancient nightmares, science fiction and good old-fashioned Celtic witchiness. At this point in the game, Guthrie's shrieking leads are the star of the show. One could easily imagine Roman soldiers shuddering in their armor, hearing these kind of banshee wails over moors lit only by occasional bursts of spectral foxfire.<br /><br />Even the record cover is witchy- a half-naked man seized by a bolt of eldritch energy in a dark Scottish village. The extended version adds crucial cuts like 'Dear Heart' and 'Perhaps Some Other Aeon'. Hard to believe this is the same band that recorded Four Calendar Cafe. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKI-TK4mM_dyp43JuH8UB-5n8ON05krKT-J2JNrGuLnpXHnQZlA23aRE7FAe_ulI9FZZfn0zVz1w7GNa0jDtBa91I8Yu_Gq47rUPCFY6Ev6EsHLng4p5xono4EB4ACwALsCCnEJv8CjRE/s1600/Unknown-1.jpeg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKI-TK4mM_dyp43JuH8UB-5n8ON05krKT-J2JNrGuLnpXHnQZlA23aRE7FAe_ulI9FZZfn0zVz1w7GNa0jDtBa91I8Yu_Gq47rUPCFY6Ev6EsHLng4p5xono4EB4ACwALsCCnEJv8CjRE/s1600/Unknown-1.jpeg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Head Over Heels (1983) Probably my favorite of the studio albums, for sentimental reasons if nothing else. This sounds like 1983 in a way a 1983 record should, so don't listen to whining about the mix. This is also a light-year leap over Garlands, with melodies replacing mere incantations and Fraser's instrument in full bloom. <br /><br />We're still smack dab in post-punk territory, with Guthrie layering bass chords on top of distortion-drenched arpeggios and Killing Joke drum patterns. This is a huge-sounding record with a wide stylistic range, and Fraser never sounded as gloriously womanly as she does here ever again. Key cuts: 'Sugar Hiccup', 'In the Gold Dust Rush', 'In Our Angelhood'. <br /><br />Treasure (1984) Another huge leap, but perhaps also more of a consolidation. The try-anything spirt of Heels gives way to a trademark Cocteau sound, all sleighbells and choral sample patchs, pounding beatboxes and interlocking post-punk guitar and bass chords.<br /><br />There's plenty of variety, though- the nailbiting shrieker 'Persephone', the stately harpsichord waltz 'Beatrix', and the ridiculously erotic, tongue-in-your-ear fuckscape 'Otterley', to name a few. The addition of Simon Raymonde on bass and keyboards adds a lot of music school depth to the proceedings. <br /><br />This was released in 1984 but seemed to exist every time at once. Everyone who discovered it assumed it was brand new. And everyone who discovered it assumed it belonged to them alone. Bonus factoid: Buckley used to cover leadoff track "Ivo" at his club gigs in New York.<br /><br /><br />Omen unheeded: That glorious, angelic postpunk/disco track 'Lorelei' (which comes right after 'Ivo') is named after a water-witch who lured men to their deaths on the River Rhine. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMS77O80FomuIjtPouqz9ibVLcmVfPCMW6_rB207QOZUo_Lt9RwHNfOsSqJaMonMpS3Qd99UzunzGke0jK8tF-1nKZ-74ZqiJS1rhWWZDV31atI85RaVpEep3g6gl8vZE6JLvkdSW8mbA/s1600/siren8.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMS77O80FomuIjtPouqz9ibVLcmVfPCMW6_rB207QOZUo_Lt9RwHNfOsSqJaMonMpS3Qd99UzunzGke0jK8tF-1nKZ-74ZqiJS1rhWWZDV31atI85RaVpEep3g6gl8vZE6JLvkdSW8mbA/s1600/siren8.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The Pink Opaque (1986): This compilation was put together to introduce the Twins to the American market, culling various EP, single and album cuts, but is essential in the way those old 60s comps are. In fact, this might be your best place to start if you're a Twins novitiate. Every single note on this album is crucial in a way music no longer is to young people. You may not know exactly what Fraser is on about here but she's obviously extraordinarily passionate about it.<br /><br />In fact, the leadoff track, the ritualistic hymn <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yY9jYOm9lo">'The Spangle Maker'</a>, is worth what people used to pay for albums by itself. In fact, the final sixty seconds of 'The Spangle Maker', in which Fraser erupts into a series of blood-curdling howls like a particularly aroused ancient Maenad (she inspired a lot of these kinds of metaphors back in the day), while Guthrie wrenches the clap of creation out of his guitar with an e-bow, is worth your week's salary. <br /><br /><br />Victorialand (1986) After four years of hammering euphoria, a looping curveball from a band who specialized in them; a pastoral serving of alien folk with layer upon layer of treated guitar acting as primary accompaniment for Fraser's little-girl-in-the-garden fairy tale songs. The sense of playfulness and joy is almost palpable here as Frasier and Guthrie use their prodigious talents (Raymonde was off producing the second This Mortal Coil album) to construct a fantasy of a childhood they never had living in grim Grangemouth, Scotland. <br /><br /><br />Then a curveball within a curveball: after a happy day in a forest clearing, the darkness of the gods descends like a sheet of ice for the album's closer, 'The Thinner the Air'. It's as if you can see the black clouds roll in as the chords change from carefree and major to hopelessly bleak and minor. After a Greek-like chorus prepares the way, Fraser chills the bones with a piercing, almost primeval solo that reeks of dark portents and terrible tragedies to come, as if Cassandra herself is riding this horse now.† <br /><br />It's a stunning turnaround to an album whose song titles such as 'Fluffy Tufts' and 'Lazy Calm' accurately describe its mood. <br /><br /><br />Yet another omen that went unheeded.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQzIXsr2mTMehWcTTkZmXEq29dqoz47xEec06SEijWtA7XwaqxeeB3Qf2Ntm9QktdIZp3Ip0hXBhatALGTzFbQbQlw9xWuefxvAOtRnKneQvqpkUflYmeMo9Rk306_w4p2jvX3jX215nU/s1600/44422.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQzIXsr2mTMehWcTTkZmXEq29dqoz47xEec06SEijWtA7XwaqxeeB3Qf2Ntm9QktdIZp3Ip0hXBhatALGTzFbQbQlw9xWuefxvAOtRnKneQvqpkUflYmeMo9Rk306_w4p2jvX3jX215nU/s1600/44422.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />The Moon and the Melodies (1986) After the curveball, a changeup: ambient pianist Harold Budd is enlisted for an LP that features four glorious rave-ups and four ambient chillouts (a definite portent of things to come post-Cocteau). Budd, whose since worked extensively with Guthrie, fits the Twins like a glove. In fact his playing is remarkably similar to Raymonde's. His elegant chords add a bit of maturity to the Twins' ecstatic hammering, an effect that would have a huge influence in the days to come. <br />The four full band tracks here- along with 'Crushed' (released the following year on a compilation album) would mark the end of the Cocteau Twins' Golden Age-- that age of "oh my fucking god, what the hell is this music"-- but their international profile would only rise with the following two albums. <br /><br /><br />Omens ignored: "Sea, Swallow Me" and "She Will Destroy You."<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7QbILqH_Q7pgTWvpuHbgORBS08ZNMLcrcViAs690qZnbtUOYr7BOiG9nQ8buzgGzki8daaJfqwVubltranB9CCSxO4vJQSGa6G9LBXzcFoPZ2JawtWBcmP3QIb0cgNFoO6tc3MKCOOVc/s1600/ct7.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7QbILqH_Q7pgTWvpuHbgORBS08ZNMLcrcViAs690qZnbtUOYr7BOiG9nQ8buzgGzki8daaJfqwVubltranB9CCSxO4vJQSGa6G9LBXzcFoPZ2JawtWBcmP3QIb0cgNFoO6tc3MKCOOVc/s1600/ct7.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Blue Bell Knoll (1988) Or Blue Bell Knowles, as I like to call it. Apparently the Cocteau Twins think their fans take 35 minutes to have sex because it seems as if they set out to make the ultimate post-punk fuck music with Blue Bell Knoll. The basic effect is like having Fraser's tongue in your ear for a half-hour and change, the vocals are that erotic. <br /><br />The entire production seems engineered to be as lush and languid as possible, with even the minor key songs dripping with palpable sensuality. Imagine if late 70s ABBA took a shit-ton of molly after being abducted by aliens and you pretty much have Blue Bell Knoll nailed. The pounding drums and the slashing guitars are MIA, but the catharsis has merely been channeled through another route. I curled into a fetal position the first time I heard this album, quite involuntarily. It hurt, it was so gorgeous.<br /><br /><br />Omen ignored: 'A Kissed-Out Red Floatboat'- A passenger aboard the American Queen riverboat, famous for its large red waterwheel, discovered Buckley's body floating in the river.<br /><br />Bonus omen: The bluebell's "knoll" or ring was an omen of death, according to old British legend.<br /><br /><br /><br />Heaven or Las Vegas (1990) Pre-Nirvana alt.rock was the true Golden Age of the movement. You had a real diversity of music, with different flavors and styles besides irritable white dudes with guitars and long hair living out their Lynyrd Skynyrd fantasies. <br /><br />On MTVs 120 Minutes you'd see a whole range of styles and flavors, And it wasn't just a boys' club, women were well-represented; that was part of what made the scene "alternative" to mainstream rock. It was into this ferment that Heaven or Las Vegas dropped and finally the world was ready for the Cocteaux and they were ready for the world. <br /><br />Heaven or Las Vegas is the last great Cocteau Twins album; it has a dizzying range of styles, from the slow funk jam of 'Pitch the Baby', to the old school postpunk-flavored single 'Iceblink Luck' (very much a nod to tracks like 'In Our Angelhood' and 'Because of Whirljack') to the almost quintessential Cocteau title track, a song square in the tradition of early 80s stunners like 'Sugar Hiccup' and 'Pearly Dewdrops Drops'.<br /><br /><br />But the bottom was about to drop out; Raymonde and Guthrie were nursing serious drug problems (gee, hard to imagine this band using drugs) and Fraser's recent motherhood was dredging up long-repressed horrors from her own childhood. <br /><br />Nirvana would come along at the end of the Cocteaux' world tour and the alt.rock scene would soon look more like 1971 than 1991. Ecstatic warbling was out, miserable narcissism was in, and dick-waving tantrums would reign supreme for the next three years. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHXuoLQbbT6PpOJ_DH-roi25RuVbf7sfkLoRwj4FHwIh76tJvX0bJHG_u4vAms7nI9Hllxl3oiVv_TTEDw6FIFTQ-4GYPLqlAEjpTDPTyBGW9TVMr26QmFLbIHfbUkW3oOJRBljXGSuUc/s1600/buckley.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHXuoLQbbT6PpOJ_DH-roi25RuVbf7sfkLoRwj4FHwIh76tJvX0bJHG_u4vAms7nI9Hllxl3oiVv_TTEDw6FIFTQ-4GYPLqlAEjpTDPTyBGW9TVMr26QmFLbIHfbUkW3oOJRBljXGSuUc/s1600/buckley.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Omens ignored: OK, here's where this story gets insane.<br />The 8th and 9th songs on this album are 'Wolf in the Breast' and the almost unbearably mournful 'Road, River and Rail' (lyric: "like mother's daughter/to fish, you fly"). <br /><br />Jeff Buckley drowned in the Wolf River in Memphis, which runs parallel to a railroad and is crossed by Interstate 40. <br /><br /><br />The Wolf River is on the 89th Meridian West.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4oDHxTmfL2Vrw8a1wiMPTd4W1NWaUENEtkzrogZbsgbl0os3-V_ATnc9MGTx8REmY30LFHXzrWVNW14TFNaTY6Jq1IKPub6k2A7KLJ78Y-0RYr33uMpeAnQu_G9KNalx5pnCmlBixRNs/s1600/Frayser_Memphis_TN_02_Welcome_to_Frayser.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4oDHxTmfL2Vrw8a1wiMPTd4W1NWaUENEtkzrogZbsgbl0os3-V_ATnc9MGTx8REmY30LFHXzrWVNW14TFNaTY6Jq1IKPub6k2A7KLJ78Y-0RYr33uMpeAnQu_G9KNalx5pnCmlBixRNs/s1600/Frayser_Memphis_TN_02_Welcome_to_Frayser.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The neighborhood at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frayser,_Memphis">the end of the Wolf River is named Frayser.</a><br /><br />Now please go watch<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIyKQWCqzlI"> the first minute of Elizabeth Fraser's video love letter</a> to Buckley again.<br /><br />That his body was found at the end of Beale Street not only connects us to the Blues, it connects us, via Fraser, to those most Ancient of Days. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinqddxwZAd_NPMEITxHbiSLwzpYcRoqX9ucxODTzIx1q5cWs8VGHgG1vK667ngAUmSSItMf1PPERHKLqwiQX_tapakcfs8-LLL_X3xjyKu8vvMuFkoDeae3Yhw69P0bCv4e29cFNzBJXA/s1600/baal.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinqddxwZAd_NPMEITxHbiSLwzpYcRoqX9ucxODTzIx1q5cWs8VGHgG1vK667ngAUmSSItMf1PPERHKLqwiQX_tapakcfs8-LLL_X3xjyKu8vvMuFkoDeae3Yhw69P0bCv4e29cFNzBJXA/s1600/baal.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Four our purposes, Beale is Ba'al, the charioteer of the clouds, who wields lightning bolts in his hands. As we saw in the BBC video, Ba'al was there that night to bear witness to this most primal of tragedies as it unfolded beneath the Memphis Pyramid. <br /><br />Note that Las Vegas, the nominal city of the album in question, also has a glass pyramid. I can't think of any other American cities besides Memphis and Las Vegas that do. Is Buckley's place of dying the "Heaven" or Las Vegas the title unwittingly alludes to?<br /><br />If so, then how appropriate then that these omens would precede the time Buckley met Fraser, for the making of this next album....<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIoCPGPlPiNGBpa8uhPqRjpP0EoN61AcD0gbd32P4VwR7KPGrAdvZiu3T1Rb24PB0WIjJ7NqwWWNg2ImzSoPAy-kYLMnEbua-gMIW9dgjOk-RoVQbmObRk65hAYNLKY5b9MuLHd9TQhcs/s1600/ct10.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIoCPGPlPiNGBpa8uhPqRjpP0EoN61AcD0gbd32P4VwR7KPGrAdvZiu3T1Rb24PB0WIjJ7NqwWWNg2ImzSoPAy-kYLMnEbua-gMIW9dgjOk-RoVQbmObRk65hAYNLKY5b9MuLHd9TQhcs/s1600/ct10.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Four Calendar Cafe (1993) The alt.rock scene began to shake off the trailer park doldrums in late 1993 and 1994, with the original grunge bands moving away from two-finger tantrums into more challenging territory and new movements emerging such as neo-punk, trip-hop and techno. <br />But the Cocteau Twins were not doing as well. Guthrie and Fraser's marriage had dissolved, Fraser's romance with Buckley would begin and end that year and leave her shattered, and she began having trouble with her vocal chords. <br /><br /><br />In that light, why on earth she would choose to sing an octave above her range while she was experiencing throat problems is beyond me. Perhaps it was a commercial consideration, given the fact the band had signed to a new label and Irish singer Enya was finding success with a similar style around that time. Helpful hint: If you ever wonder why your favorite band ever went down some inexplicably commercial route, drug bills are usually a pretty good answer.<br /><br /><br />Four Calendar Cafe is a pleasant enough 90s pop album and somewhat of a return to the aural sensuality of Blue Bell Knoll, but it's a world away from the revelations of the mid- 80s Cocteaus. You keep waiting for Fraser to get out of Enya-mode and let it rip and she never does. She only sings in her natural mezzo on the closing track, and that's only on the choruses. <br /><br /><br />And worse was yet to come, the "distressed dolphin" tour and the rest of it.<br /><br />Omen ignored: The single "Evangeline" shared a title with a Longfellow poem about a woman whose long-lost lover reunites with her only to die in her arms.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnViKn2oXY4S-m8zSNMf4kKBOWfRlVaYUSkrnviMZl_Cbd2-zF_NT9x0Vu2YEo57xDa4IxVB7vD4dLnacopzF4ZqP8Mv0b0DpCl4Zb7IXX2Joa180uudBmmZhPLEzmew1V29Ox2YFtdCY/s1600/magic-twins.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnViKn2oXY4S-m8zSNMf4kKBOWfRlVaYUSkrnviMZl_Cbd2-zF_NT9x0Vu2YEo57xDa4IxVB7vD4dLnacopzF4ZqP8Mv0b0DpCl4Zb7IXX2Joa180uudBmmZhPLEzmew1V29Ox2YFtdCY/s1600/magic-twins.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Milk and Kisses (1996) By far their least essential album, but it shouldn't be. The idea for this album was to get back to the 80s Cocteau sound, but too much water had passed under the bridge, Fraser's muse didn't make it to the sessions and there isn't much in the way of catchy riffs to lift the material out of the murk. <br />It also doesn't help that Guthrie seems determined to produce the album to death. Several cuts here-- '<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13fVAP4LdVU">Tishbite</a>', (the epithet of a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tishbite">famous Biblical UFO abductee</a>) <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqiFrYZm4Y4">'Violaine'</a>, 'Treasure Hiding' and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo-vh_q1xQQ">'Seekers Who are Lovers'</a>-- worked very well live, freed of the smothering overdubs and boasting meaty live guitars and Fraser's full-throated mezzo, but the mopey Twinlights songs didn't disappear like they should have and subsequently drag everything down. <br /><br />UPDATE: Bla bla bla, shut the f**k up, Chris. I've been listening to the Milk & Kisses remaster with real earphones and it's like the greatest opioid ever created. Or the greatest hallucinogenic opioid ever. Seriously, try it at home. <br /><br />It's apparently engineered to hit all those deep pleasure centers in the autonomic brain, so I'm thinking it's also packed to the hi-hats with weird alien subliminals from some distant star system. Plus, the guitars are a lot punchier and Liz is a lot more possessed than on Four Calendar Cafe.<br /><br />Fraser and Buckley were obviously back together at the time of the album's pressing if the "Love and a thousandfold rose" (oh, my) dedication are any indication, we already heard the songs and there was much better material on the b-sides, so what was the point exactly? A lost opportunity for a fitting swan song. <br /><br />Yeah, shut up, Chris. Stop listening to crappy MP3s you ripped back during the Clinton Administration.<br /><br /><br />Omen ignored: Besides including the songs from the fateful Rilkean Dreams video, 'Violaine' admonishes a lover (presumably Buckley) to "be careful, love, be careful, love." <br /><br /><br />Lullabies to Violaine Vol 1 (1982-1990) The Twins put just as much essential music on their EPs as their LPs. This set starts off in witch-mode, with the ironically titled Lullabies filled with noisy post-punk sorcery. Peppermint Pig shows the band lurching towards dancepunk, but the real revelation comes with the orgasmic Sunburst and Snowblind, which culls 'Sugar Hiccup' from Heels and adds three equally good tracks, the aching crush song, 'From the Flagstones', the witchy howler 'Hitherto', and the pleading post-punk charger 'Because of Whirljack'. From then on it's one cathartic mindgasm after another, with only a couple duff tracks here and there. This is all pure post-punk Twins, beauty and terror in equal parts, with everything cranked to 11 but still sounding achingly beautiful. <br /><br /><br />Tracks like 'Great Spangled Fritillary' and 'Pale Clouded White' sound ancient and irreducibly pagan, like lost transmissions from some Mediterranean mystery cult that bounced off the stars and back, with Fraser as priestess/horse, riding the fumes of the gods. The last track, 'Watchlar', shows a road sadly not taken, a funky, synth-driven slow-burner that's as sexy as it is spooky. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRVvd7d6EowL9YtHZpiumOieabdxlmZc71LfRIP66rBu6Jk8Dm00qJipXiRyXSJRAWpghuekAt-iDsy2Tt9nJ2lHg2OmALkvUTSVuRqs1Wja5KTSrJqkdLukNpr2xNfMCI6-2oYWHTC5A/s1600/cteyes6.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRVvd7d6EowL9YtHZpiumOieabdxlmZc71LfRIP66rBu6Jk8Dm00qJipXiRyXSJRAWpghuekAt-iDsy2Tt9nJ2lHg2OmALkvUTSVuRqs1Wja5KTSrJqkdLukNpr2xNfMCI6-2oYWHTC5A/s1600/cteyes6.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Lullabies to Violaine Vol 2 (1993-1996) This set is immeasurably less essential than the first but is probably a better investment than the last two studio albums, whose singles it culls. If the Twins were hedging themselves into a corner for their new label on their LPs, they were breathing quite a bit more on the b-sides and EPs (Fraser has since dismissed the Twins' post-4AD work).<br /><br />None of this material is a patch on their original 4AD material but has some traces of the old fire and is considerably more adventurous and arty than you'd expect at this late date. One of the EPs has Seefeel's Mark Clifford doing ambient deconstructions of selected tracks and the long out-of-print Snow EP is here, including their priceless versions of 'Winter Wonderland' and 'Frosty the Snowman'. Not essential by any means, but worth getting if you get the bug. <br /><br />POSTSCRIPT: A few years back The Cocteau Twins were offered five million dollars to reunite and perform at the Coachella Music Festival in California. They initially accepted but Fraser pulled out at the last minute, infuriating her fans and her former bandmates. She's done some work-for-hire gigs over the years, none of which is a shadow of her work with The Cocteau Twins.<br /><br />In 2012 she performed at the Meltdown Festival in England at the behest of Anthony Hegarty, singer of Anthony and the Johnsons. She performed a number of Cocteau Twins songs but in radically revamped arrangements that reviewers compared to 70s easy listening music. She's been sitting on a number of tracks for a solo album for over a decade now and many fans have given up waiting.<br /><br />I think the fact that she essentially ended her career a few months after Buckley's death proves that the events affected her more powerfully than we can know. I can only hope she's found happiness in her new life, after having brought so much magic and beauty into this fallen, broken world.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />* Some have speculated that Buckley may have committed suicide but the evidence is weak and tenuous; based mostly on the fact he made phone calls to old friends shortly before his death. <br /><br />But he had just finished material for a new album and was about to re-emerge from a self-imposed exile (he bragged to one friend he was going to "work his ass off" ), re-connecting with old friends makes perfect sense in that context. Buckley's comment to that same friend that he would see her "on the other side" was almost certainly a reference to the then-current Ozzy single, which was inescapable on rock radio at the time. <br /><br />His swimming fully dressed in the Wolf River sounds very much like a triumphal, "I am a golden god" rock star move- it would have been a natural act of celebration for an artist as history-minded as Buckley, who often swam there. All the more so given the fact that he was blasting "Whole Lotta Love" on his boombox (an extremely unlikely exit song even for a Zep fanatic, never mind a musical omnivore like Buckley) and jokingly comparing his voice to Cocteau Twins admirer Robert Plant at the time.<br /><br />Locals have pointed to a number of accidental deaths on the Wolf River, noting that its placid surface hides a vicious undertow. Quite an apt metaphor for this particular drama.<br /><br />The Buckley Estate responded to the usual post-mortem rumors with this statement: "Jeff Buckley's death was not "mysterious," related to drugs, alcohol, or suicide. We have a police report, a medical examiner's report, and an eye witness to prove that it was an accidental drowning, and that Mr. Buckley was in a good frame of mind prior to the accident."<br /><br /><br />There are at least seven finished tracks from the final Cocteau Twins album that Simon Raymonde rates as some of their best work. One of these, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2acj-mE8Zw">"Touch Upon Touch"</a>, is already in circulation, but Fraser is blocking the release of the rest. Here's hoping she comes around.<br /><br /><br />† The solo seems to appear 30 minutes into the actual running time of the music when gaps are accounted for. Thirty is an important number in this story, no?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/2014/09/songs-of-siren-on-river-styx.html">September 26, 2014</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=7454022&postID=524687665231992733"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif" /> </a><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7454022&postID=524687665231992733&target=email">Email This</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7454022&postID=524687665231992733&target=blog">BlogThis!</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7454022&postID=524687665231992733&target=twitter">Share to Twitter</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7454022&postID=524687665231992733&target=facebook">Share to Facebook</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7454022&postID=524687665231992733&target=pinterest">Share to Pinterest</a><br /><br />Labels: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/search/label/Elizabeth%20Fraser">Elizabeth Fraser</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/search/label/Jeff%20Buckley">Jeff Buckley</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/search/label/Las%20Vegas">Las Vegas</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/search/label/Rock%20and%20Roll">Rock and Roll</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/search/label/Synchronicity">Synchronicity</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Mysteries">The Mysteries</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Siren">The Siren</a><br /><br /><br />31 comments:<br /><br /><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/zFdxGE77vvD2w5xHy6jkVuElKv-U9_9qLkRYK8OnbDeJPtjSZ82UPq5w6hJ-SA=s35" /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/profile/03898532022138215314">andrewbigdoor</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/2014/09/songs-of-siren-on-river-styx.html?showComment=1411757367321#c5401553119158921896">2:49 PM, September 26, 2014</a><br /><br />A flurry of thoughts regarding what I've learned about music/vibration's profound effect upon the human heart/brain.

While musical instruments appear to be a relatively recent innovation, music itself is almost certainly significantly older.

I had absolutely no idea that Buckley was intimate and seriously so (even if briefly) with Frazer, but then I wouldn't know these kind of things. If I read it here all that time ago, I must have just forgotten it.<br /><br />It's worth bringing up a couple of additional points. Buckley in a sense died like his father, tragically young. His father's was of course drug related, but it does add in hindsight another kind of warning to the young Jeff. Also there has been a recent pretty good film entitled 'Greetings from Tim Buckley', that welded the lives of Tim and Jeff together. That film is more about Jeff than Tim, and a pivotal event in his life. Penn Badgley who plays Jeff is uncanny, he looks like him and acts just as you would have expected Jeff to.<br /><br />A further factoid, or rather opinion worth sharing, Jeff B's version of 'Hallelujah' is simply the best I have ever heard.Reply<br /><br />Replies<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVcVapJm0XSjezJq8TL_3R8eP-Qz3G3e68QyDJV5ebfvBqL805q2wi-pYNEzFh0hEyXimF7LlEHiokbNEpH6jLCwYQ2SE4m-KY77lkFveD_RpYLa-HZQCv2AGf-iZpk5sDSOcxIzPMJMU/s35/Photo%25252B7.jpg" /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09676425268231171924">Christopher Loring Knowles</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/2014/09/songs-of-siren-on-river-styx.html?showComment=1411828709867#c9134545596810418289">10:38 AM, September 27, 2014</a><br /><br />Buckley seemed pulled from his father's drama into another drama entirely, something much older and far more primal.

Chris. I have just been discussing this very thing with alan abadessa green. I believe that when you and another are able to successfully pull off a great love affair, it brings you to the attention of 'the others'. And you become candidates for becoming archetypal exemplars. Which is a fair synopsis of what seems to be the mythical gist of Buckley and Fraser. Exemplarhood is tricky, and that kind of thing always comes with a price. Usually a very significant one. Like a damn Greek Tragedy. And probably inspired by the same archetypal energies.<br /><br /><br />Reply<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bSeHK6SRbqs/UwOl0YUSpgI/AAAAAAAAJSo/h4fFm4Ukyx8/s35/*" /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/profile/02768035945413452175">Laurence</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/2014/09/songs-of-siren-on-river-styx.html?showComment=1411836386232#c1813362793224103978">12:46 PM, September 27, 2014</a><br /><br />CLK,<br /><br />I was playing song to the siren knowing something sad in my life was taking place.

The personal syncs are simply astounding, especially in combination with my latest entry as well as Gordon's. As he rightly notes, it seems as though we were writing our respective entries about the same time. I recall reading yours, then his, not long after posting my own entry, and I posted mine after seeing SO many syncs within my own world that rocked my world, the earthquaking beneath my foundation, not gently (which I have experienced in other countries), but rattling windows and causing cracks to appear. Wyrd stuff leaks in through cracks, you know... and it did.<br /><br />The actions I had to take were a bit radical to silence the noise in order to rediscover clarity, and now I find myself having to repair the cracks and rebuilding bridges. Hopefully some of those bridges can be rebuilt. If not, eh...<br /><br />The Universal (mind) is speaking to us. I know it's attempting to say something to me. The problem is that it feels as if it's not simply speaking anymore, it is screeching in a much higher octave range now... urgent in it's desire to be heard.<br /><br />I feel it and sometimes see it's message, but not sure we're all working together to help raise our senses to decipher it, you know?

As it accelerates the volume increases. What I would recommend- if you aren't doing so alreadt- is document all the information that speaks to you on a personal level and sort it out on a periodic basis. And I'm speaking to everyone here.

These are some really jarring syncs.<br /><br />The idea of singers (like Fraser) losing the magic element in their voice is something I find fascinating.

In GNR fan circles it's referred to as the "rasp" issue. i.e. up until the end of the old lineup in 93', he could sing in that scratchy/raspy/witchy way that he was known for.<br /><br />When he re-emerged in the early 2000's, his voice had totally changed (and is still the same today). He can't do the raspy thing. His voice is much higher, and there's no "oomph" behind it.<br /><br />During a tour in 06', there were elements of his old voice that came back a bit, but the power still wasn't there.<br /><br />I could write pages on this, so I'll stop now. That's the gist though.<br /><br /><br /><br />Reply<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bF-hzmY_JP4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAABA/Ingw2vY8luY/s35-c/photo.jpg" /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/profile/08620492888082369777">omen rama</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/2014/09/songs-of-siren-on-river-styx.html?showComment=1411946086187#c1331136128134274809">7:14 PM, September 28, 2014</a><br /><br />I read the all of your pieces pertaining to Elizabeth Fraser and Tim Buckley.

While listening to Persephone, I internet searched for info on Cocteau Twins' lyrics and found some quotes from Liz that seem to support the notion that she wasn't just channeling the *sound* of some eldritch goddess:<br /><br />"...[the dictionary] is how I got some of the words. And then I got to the stage where, I don't know, something just came in."<br /><br />And:<br /><br />"Like, if I'm 17 and I don't even know when I'm hungry, am I tired, have I had any sleep - if you don't even know that, then how can you talk about lyrics that come from such an unconscious place? I always said 'I dont' know', and I didn't."<br /><br />P.S. I second @Lawrence's opinion--Buckley's version of Hallelujah is absolutely the best.Reply<br /><br />Replies<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVcVapJm0XSjezJq8TL_3R8eP-Qz3G3e68QyDJV5ebfvBqL805q2wi-pYNEzFh0hEyXimF7LlEHiokbNEpH6jLCwYQ2SE4m-KY77lkFveD_RpYLa-HZQCv2AGf-iZpk5sDSOcxIzPMJMU/s35/Photo%25252B7.jpg" /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09676425268231171924">Christopher Loring Knowles</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/2014/09/songs-of-siren-on-river-styx.html?showComment=1412005117907#c3699747213794829523">11:38 AM, September 29, 2014</a><br /><br />Well, we'll take a deeper look at that in the next post.

I'll have to buy Garlands again, to check out the lyrics in there, as my last copy was on tape, and disappeared many years ago :-)<br />Reply<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714im_/https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/http://tormance.wordpress.com/">James</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180711220714/https://secretsun.blogspot.com/2014/09/songs-of-siren-on-river-styx.html?showComment=1517883629587#c7624161234818747003">9:20 PM, February 05, 2018</a><br /><br />I haven't been able to stop listening to Song to a SirenReply<br /><br /><br /></p>sewneohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11217023773440530400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423543460591316703.post-36688064408526486252021-05-28T06:24:00.001-07:002021-05-28T06:24:25.639-07:00ROBOT PROPOGANDA VIDEO FROM TWITTER.COM<p> Here's a thread I wrote on twitter--all about this goddamned video of kids investigating a weird policing robot--and how the video itself and the comments below it are all slanted IN FAVOR of the robot and being CRITICAL of the children.<br /><br />Read below the dash for my unrolled thread from twitter:<br /><br />-------<br /><br /></p><div class="content-tweet allow-preview" data-action="click->thread#showTweet" data-controller="thread" data-screenname="sewneo" data-tweet="1398265450887217161" dir="auto" id="tweet_1" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; font-family: lato, sans-serif; font-size: 1.7rem; letter-spacing: -0.003em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding-top: 20px;">This seems like propaganda to garner sympathy for the robot, too me.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Of course the children are going to investigate and even 'attack' something so strange as an anthropomorphic machine.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The 'spin' of the video's narrative is much more troubling to me than the kids behaviors.<span class="entity-embed" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="twitter-player" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 550px; width: 550px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" class="" data-tweet-id="1398232591057113091" frameborder="0" id="twitter-widget-1" scrolling="no" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=sewneo&dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-1&features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3R3ZWV0X2VtYmVkX2NsaWNrYWJpbGl0eV8xMjEwMiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJjb250cm9sIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH19&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=true&id=1398232591057113091&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fthreadreaderapp.com%2Fthread%2F1398265450887217161.html&sessionId=38c2763d1515325ab8480bbc23e160429e0d5018&theme=light&widgetsVersion=82e1070%3A1619632193066&width=550px" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block; flex-grow: 1; height: 593px; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px;" title="Twitter Tweet"></iframe></div></span></span></div><div class="content-tweet allow-preview" data-action="click->thread#showTweet" data-controller="thread" data-screenname="sewneo" data-tweet="1398265452602695681" dir="auto" id="tweet_2" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, "times new roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; letter-spacing: -0.003em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; overflow-wrap: break-word;">They act like we should be ok with a robot patrolling, and that we should accept their computer modeling of behavior as legitimate and beyond reproach.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Computer models are infamously bad in their results.

Michael Sweeney<br /><br />copyright (c) 1997, 2000, 2001 All rights reserved (Edited June 2001)<br />Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation<br />(Includes The 8 Traits of A Disinformationalist)<br /><br /><br /><br />Built upon Thirteen Techniques for Truth Suppression by David Martin, the following may be useful to the initiate in the world of dealing with veiled and half-truth, lies, and suppression of truth when serious crimes are studied in public forums. This, sadly, includes every day news media, one of the worst offenders with respect to being a source of disinformation. Where the crime involves a conspiracy, or a conspiracy to cover up the crime, there will invariably be a disinformation campaign launched against those seeking to uncover and expose the truth and/or the conspiracy. There are specific tactics which disinfo artists tend to apply, as revealed here. Also included with this material are seven common traits of the disinfo artist which may also prove useful in identifying players and motives. The more a particular party fits the traits and is guilty of following the rules, the more likely they are a professional disinfo artist with a vested motive. People can be bought, threatened, or blackmailed into providing disinformation, so even "good guys" can be suspect in many cases.<br /><br />A rational person participating as one interested in the truth will evaluate that chain of evidence and conclude either that the links are solid and conclusive, that one or more links are weak and need further development before conclusion can be arrived at, or that one or more links can be broken, usually invalidating (but not necessarily so, if parallel links already exist or can be found, or if a particular link was merely supportive, but not in itself key) the argument. The game is played by raising issues which either strengthen or weaken (preferably to the point of breaking) these links. It is the job of a disinfo artist to interfere with these evaluation... to at least make people think the links are weak or broken when, in truth, they are not... or to propose alternative solutions leading away from the truth. Often, by simply impeding and slowing down the process through disinformation tactics, a level of victory is assured because apathy increases with time and rhetoric.<br /><br />It would seem true in almost every instance, that if one cannot break the chain of evidence for a given solution, revelation of truth has won out. If the chain is broken either a new link must be forged, or a whole new chain developed, or the solution is invalid an a new one must be found... but truth still wins out. There is no shame in being the creator or supporter of a failed solution, chain, or link, if done with honesty in search of the truth. This is the rational approach. While it is understandable that a person can become emotionally involved with a particular side of a given issue, it is really unimportant who wins, as long as truth wins. But the disinfo artist will seek to emotionalize and chastise any failure (real or false claims thereof), and will seek by means of intimidation to prevent discussion in general. <br />Twenty-Five

href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080324021110/http://www.congregator.net/pages/truth.html#t8">8.</a> Newly Discovered: Time Constant<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />It is the disinfo artist and those who may pull their strings (those who stand to suffer should the crime be solved) MUST seek to prevent rational and complete examination of any chain of evidence which would hang them. Since fact and truth seldom fall on their own, they must be overcome with lies and deceit. Those who are professional in the art of lies and deceit, such as the intelligence community and the professional criminal (often the same people or at least working together), tend to apply fairly well defined and observable tools in this process. However, the public at large is not well armed against such weapons, and is often easily led astray by these time-proven tactics. Remarkably, not even media and law enforcement have NOT BEEN TRAINED to deal with these issues. For the most part, only the players themselves understand the rules of the game.<br /><br />This why concepts from the film, Wag-The-Dog, actually work. If you saw that movie, know that there is at least one real-world counterpart to Al Pacino's character. For CIA, it is Mark Richards, who was called in to orchestrate the media response to Waco on behalf of Janet Reno. Mark Richards is the acknowledged High Priest of Disinformation. His appointment was extremely appropriate, since the CIA was VERY present at Waco from the very beginning of the cult to the very end of their days - just as it was at the People's Temple in Jonestown. Richards purpose in life is damage control.<br /><br />For such disinformationalists, the overall aim is to avoid discussing links in the chain of evidence which cannot be broken by truth, but at all times, to use clever deceptions or lies to make select links seem weaker than they are, create the illusion of a break, or better still, cause any who are considering the chain to be distracted in any number of ways, including the method of questioning the credentials of the presenter. Please understand that fact is fact, regardless of the source. Likewise, truth is truth, regardless of the source. This is why criminals are allowed to testify against other criminals. Where a motive to lie may truly exist, only actual evidence that the testimony itself IS a lie renders it completely invalid. Were a known 'liar's' testimony to stand on its own without supporting fact, it might certainly be of questionable value, but if the testimony (argument) is based on verifiable or otherwise demonstrable facts, it matters not who does the presenting or what their motives are, or if they have lied in the past or even if motivated to lie in this instance -- the facts or links would and should stand or fall on their own merit and their part in the matter will merely be supportive.<br /><br />Moreover, particularly with respects to public forums such as newspaper letters to the editor, and Internet chat and news groups, the disinfo type has a very important role. In these forums, the principle topics of discussion are generally attempts by individuals to cause other persons to become interested in their own particular position, idea, or solution -- very much in development at the time. People often use such mediums as a sounding board and in hopes of pollination to better form their ideas. Where such ideas are critical of government or powerful, vested groups (especially if their criminality is the topic), the disinfo artist has yet another role -- the role of nipping it in the bud. They also seek to stage the concept, the presenter, and any supporters as less than credible should any possible future confrontation in more public forums result due to their early successes. You can often spot the disinfo types at work here by the unique application of "higher standards" of discussion than necessarily warranted. They will demand that those presenting arguments or concepts back everything up with the same level of expertise as a professor, researcher, or investigative writer. Anything less renders any discussion meaningless and unworthy in their opinion, and anyone who disagrees is obviously stupid -- and they generally put it in exactly those terms.<br /><br />So, as you read any such discussions, particularly so in Internet news groups (NG), decide for yourself when a rational argument is being applied and when disinformation, psyops (psychological warfare operations) or trickery is the tool. Accuse those guilty of the later freely. They (both those deliberately seeking to lead you astray, and those who are simply foolish or misguided thinkers) generally run for cover when thus illuminated, or -- put in other terms, they put up or shut up (a perfectly acceptable outcome either way, since truth is the goal.) Here are the twenty-five methods and seven traits, some of which don't apply directly to NG application. Each contains a simple example in the form of actual (some paraphrased for simplicity) from NG comments on commonly known historical events, and a proper response. Accusations should not be overused -- reserve for repeat offenders and those who use multiple tactics. Responses should avoid falling into emotional traps or informational sidetracks, unless it is feared that some observers will be easily dissuaded by the trickery. Consider quoting the complete rule rather than simply citing it, as others will not have reference. Offer to provide a complete copy of the rule set upon request (see permissions statement at end):<br /><br /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/kXtaO8KToDvZbVS8R07sbZ8aekHDYrSoDERC2rbLogiDSIQy4HX21PQgSqKPO3dl-N4e-LlpUKyjSrDftthe5MOEtuN-AiVge8dURZPk9IG73ly7rlmaKIRoEp1GiSzwgOGphnYp" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/1WEeGxstywsKG-SWGwgr6l9lglju3LoIJs6Tu0X4e6wqHWpB2r5xodWe_pQq9CrReG87eNPpyNwYkNOs-T8yNpimTBrGhAxwegIhHPCJVv7b68RmEGimMLr-EgjXziwXHSlNX0uR" /><br /><br />Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation<br /><br />Note: The first rule and last five (or six, depending on situation) rules are generally not directly within the ability of the traditional disinfo artist to apply. These rules are generally used more directly by those at the leadership, key players, or planning level of the criminal conspiracy or conspiracy to cover up.<br /><br /><br />1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Regardless of what you know, don't discuss it -- especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it's not reported, it didn't happen, and you never have to deal with the issues.<br /><br />Example: Media was present in the courtroom (Hunt vs. Liberty Lobby) when CIA agent <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080324021110/http://www.proparanoid.com/JFK.htm">Marita Lorenz 'confession' testimony</a> regarding CIA direct participation in the planning and assassination of John Kennedy was revealed. All media reported was that E. Howard Hunt lost his libel case against Liberty Lobby (Liberty Lobby's newspaper, The Spotlight, had reported Hunt was in Dallas that day and were sued for the story). See Mark Lane's remarkable book, Plausible Denial, for the full confessional transcript.<br /><br />Proper response: There is no possible response unless you are aware of the material and can make it public yourself.. In any such attempt, be certain to target any known silent party as likely complicit in a cover up. In this case, it would be the entire Time-Warner Media Group, among others. This author is relatively certain that reporters were hand-picked to cover this case from among those having intelligence community ties.<br /><br /><br />2. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the 'How dare you!' gambit.<br /><br />Example: 'How dare you suggest that the Branch Davidians were murdered! the FBI and BATF are made up of America's finest and best trained law enforcement, operate under the strictest of legal requirements, and are under the finest leadership the President could want to appoint.'<br /><br />Proper response: You are avoiding the Waco issue with disinformation tactics. Your high opinion of FBI is not founded in fact. All you need do is examine Ruby Ridge and any number of other examples, and you will see a pattern of abuse of power that demands attention to charges against FBI/BATF at Waco. Why do you refuse to address the issues with disinformation tactics (rule 2 - become incredulous and indignant)?<br /><br /><br />3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method which works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such 'arguable rumors'. If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a 'wild rumor' from a 'bunch of kids on the Internet' which can have no basis in fact.<br /><br />'You can't prove his material was legitimately from French Intelligence. Pierre Salinger had a chance to show his 'proof' that flight 800 was brought down by friendly fire, and he didn't. All he really had was the same old baseless rumor that's been floating around the Internet for months.'<br /><br />Proper response: You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. The Internet charge reported widely is based on a single FBI interview statement to media and a similar statement by a Congressman, neither of which had actually seen Pierre's document. As the FBI is being accused in participating in a cover up of this matter and Pierre claims his material is not Internet sourced, it is natural that FBI would have reason to paint his material in a negative light. For you to assume the FBI to have no bias in the face of Salinger's credentials and unchanged stance suggests you are biased. At the best you can say the matter is in question. Further, to imply that material found on Internet is worthless is not founded. At best you may say it must be considered carefully before accepting it, which will require addressing the actual issues. Why do you refuse to address these issues with disinformation tactics (rule 3 - create rumor mongers)?<br /><br /><br />4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.<br /><br />Example: When trying to defeat reports by the Times of London that spy-sat images reveal an object racing towards and striking flight 800, a straw man is used. The disinformationalist, later identified as having worked for Naval Intelligence, simply stated: 'If these images exist, the public has not seen them. Why? They don't exist, and never did. You have no evidence and thus, your entire case falls flat.'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. You imply deceit and deliberately establish an impossible and unwarranted test. It is perfectly natural that the public has not seen them, nor will they for some considerable time, if ever. To produce them would violate national security with respect to intelligence gathering capabilities and limitations, and you should know this. Why do you refuse to address the issues with such disinformation tactics (rule 4 - use a straw man)?'<br /><br /><br />5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left-wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.<br /><br />Example: 'You believe what you read in the Spotlight? The Publisher, Willis DeCarto, is a well-known right-wing racist. I guess we know your politics -- does your Bible have a swastika on it? That certainly explains why you support this wild-eyed, right-wing conspiracy theory.'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your imply guilt by association and attack truth on the basis of the messenger. The Spotlight is well known Populist media source responsible for releasing facts and stories well before mainstream media will discuss the issues through their veil of silence. Willis DeCarto has successfully handled lawsuits regarding slanderous statements such as yours. Your undemonstrated charges against the messenger have nothing to do with the facts or the issues, and fly in the face of reason. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 5 - sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule)?'<br /><br /><br />6. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism reasoning -- simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint.<br /><br />Example: ''This stuff is garbage. Where do you conspiracy lunatics come up with this crap? I hope you all get run over by black helicopters.' Notice it even has a farewell sound to it, so it won't seem curious if the author is never heard from again.<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your comments or opinions fail to offer any meaningful dialog or information, and are worthless except to pander to emotionalism, and in fact, reveal you to be emotionally insecure with these matters. If you do not like reading 'this crap', why do you frequent this NG which is clearly for the purpose of such discussion? Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 6 - hit and run)?'<br /><br /><br />7. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could be taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.<br /><br />Example: 'With the talk-show circuit and the book deal, it looks like you can make a pretty good living spreading lies.'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your imply guilt as a means of attacking the messenger or his credentials, but cowardly fail to offer any concrete evidence that this is so. If you think what has been presented are 'lies', why not simply so illustrate? Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 6 - question motives)?'<br /><br /><br />8. Invoke authority. Claim for yourself or associate yourself with authority and present your argument with enough 'jargon' and 'minutia' to illustrate you are 'one who knows', and simply say it isn't so without discussing issues or demonstrating concretely why or citing sources.<br /><br />'You obviously know nothing about either the politics or strategic considerations, much less the technicals of the SR-71. Incidentally, for those who might care, that sleek plane is started with a pair of souped up big-block V-8's (originally, Buick 454 C.I.D. with dual 450 CFM Holly Carbs and a full-race Isky cams -- for 850 combined BHP @ 6,500 RPM) using a dragster-style clutch with direct-drive shaft. Anyway, I can tell you with confidence that no Blackbird has ever been flown by Korean nationals nor have they ever been trained to fly it, and have certainly never overflown the Republic of China in a SR or even launched a drone from it that flew over China. I'm not authorized to discuss if there have been overflights by American pilots.'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your imply your own authority and expertise but fail to provide credentials, and you also fail to address issues and cite sources. You simply cite 'Jane's-like' information to make us think you know what you are talking about. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 8 - invoke authority)?'<br /><br /><br />9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues except with denials they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.<br /><br />Example: 'Nothing you say makes any sense. Your logic is idiotic. Your facts nonexistent. Better go back to the drawing board and try again.'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. You evade the issues with your own form of nonsense while others, perhaps more intelligent than you pretend to be, have no trouble with the material. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 9 - play dumb)?'<br /><br /><br />10. Associate opponent charges with old news. A derivative of the straw man -- usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with - a kind of investment for the future should the matter not be so easily contained.) Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually then be associated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues -- so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source.<br /><br />Example: 'Flight 553's crash was pilot error, according to the NTSB findings. Digging up new witnesses who say the CIA brought it down at a selected spot and were waiting for it with 50 agents won't revive that old dead horse buried by NTSB more than twenty years ago.'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your ignore the issues and imply they are old charges as if new information is irrelevant to truth. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 10 - associate charges with old news)?'<br /><br /><br />11. Establish and rely upon fall-back positions. Using a minor matter or element of the facts, take the 'high road' and 'confess' with candor that some innocent mistake, in hindsight, was made -- but that opponents have seized on the opportunity to blow it all out of proportion and imply greater criminalities which, 'just isn't so.' Others can reinforce this on your behalf, later, and even publicly 'call for an end to the nonsense' because you have already 'done the right thing.' Done properly, this can garner sympathy and respect for 'coming clean' and 'owning up' to your mistakes without addressing more serious issues.<br /><br />Example: 'Reno admitted in hindsight she should have taken more time to question the data provided by subordinates on the deadliness of CS-4 and the likely Davidian response to its use, but she was so concerned about the children that she elected, in what she now believes was a sad and terrible mistake, to order the tear gas be used.'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your evade the true issue by focusing on a side issue in an attempt to evoke sympathy. Perhaps you did not know that CIA Public Relations expert Mark Richards was called in to help Janet Reno with the Waco aftermath response? How warm and fuzzy it makes us feel, so much so that we are to ignore more important matters being discussed. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 11 - establish and rely upon fall-back positions)?'<br /><br /><br />12. Enigmas have no solution. Drawing upon the overall umbrella of events surrounding the crime and the multitude of players and events, paint the entire affair as too complex to solve. This causes those otherwise following the matter to begin to loose interest more quickly without having to address the actual issues.<br /><br />Example: 'I don't see how you can claim Vince Foster was murdered since you can't prove a motive. Before you could do that, you would have to completely solve the whole controversy over everything that went on in the White House and in Arkansas, and even then, you would have to know a heck of a lot more about what went on within the NSA, the Travel Office, and the secret Grand Jury, and on, and on, and on. It's hopeless. Give it up.'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your completely evade issues and attempt others from daring to attempt it by making it a much bigger mountain than necessary. You eat an elephant one bite at a time. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 12 - enigmas have no solution)?'<br /><br /><br />13. Alice in Wonderland Logic. Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards or with an apparent deductive logic which forbears any actual material fact.<br /><br />Example: 'The news media operates in a fiercely competitive market where stories are gold. This means they dig, dig, dig for the story -- often doing a better job than law enforcement. If there was any evidence that BATF had prior knowledge of the Oklahoma City bombing, they would surely have uncovered it and reported it. They haven't reported it, so there can't have been any prior knowledge. Put up or shut up.'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your backwards logic does not work here. Has media reported CIA killed Kennedy when they knew it? No, despite their presence at a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080324021110/http://www.proparanoid.com/JFK.htm">courtroom testimony 'confession' by CIA operative Marita Lornez </a>in a liable trial between E. Howard Hunt and Liberty Lobby, they only told us the trial verdict. THAT, would have been the biggest story of the Century, but they didn't print it, did they? Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 13 - Alice in Wonderland logic)?'<br /><br /><br />14. Demand complete solutions. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely, a ploy which works best with issues qualifying for rule 10.<br /><br />Example: 'Since you know so much, if James Earl Ray is as innocent as you claim, who really killed Martin Luther King, how was it planned and executed, how did they frame Ray and fool the FBI, and why?'<br /><br />Proper response: You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. It is not necessary to completely resolve any full matter in order to examine any relative attached issue. Discussion of any evidence of Ray's innocence can stand alone to serve truth, and any alternative solution to the crime, while it may bolster that truth, can also stand alone. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 14 - demand complete solutions)?<br /><br /><br />15. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions. This requires creative thinking unless the crime was planned with contingency conclusions in place.<br /><br />Example: 'The cargo door failed on Flight 800 and caused a catastrophic breakup which ruptured the fuel tank and caused it to explode.'<br /><br />Proper response: The best definitive example of avoiding issues by this technique is, perhaps, Arlan Specter's Magic Bullet from the Warren Report. This was eloquently defeated in court but media blindly accepted it without challenge. Thus rewarded, disinformationalists do not shrink from its application, even though today, thanks in part to the movie, JFK, most Americans do now understand it was fabricated nonsense. Thus the defense which works best may actually be to cite the Magic Bullet. 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your imaginative twisting of facts rivals that of Arlan Specter's Magic Bullet in the Warren Report. We all know why the impossible magic bullet was invented. You invent a cargo door problem when there has been not one shred of evidence from the crash investigation to support it, and in fact, actual photos of the cargo door hinges and locks disprove you. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 15 - fit facts to an alternate conclusion)?'<br /><br /><br />16. Vanish evidence and witnesses. If it does not exist, it is not fact, and you won't have to address the issue.<br /><br />Example: 'You can't say Paisley is still alive... that his death was faked and the list of CIA agents found on his boat deliberately placed there to support a purge at CIA. You have no proof. Why can't you accept the Police reports?' This is a good ploy, since the dental records and autopsy report showing his body was two inches too long and the teeth weren't his were lost right after his wife demanded inquiry, and since his body was cremated before she could view it -- all that remains are the Police Reports. Handy.<br /><br />Proper response: There is no suitable response to actual vanished materials or persons, unless you can shed light on the matter, particularly if you can tie the event to a cover up other criminality. However, with respect to dialog where it is used against the discussion, you can respond... 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. The best you can say is that the matter is in contention ONLY because of highly suspicious matters such as the simultaneous and mysterious vanishing of three sets of evidence. The suspicious nature itself tends to support the primary allegation. Why do you refuse to address the remaining issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 16 - vanish evidence and witnesses)?'<br /><br /><br />17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can 'argue' with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.<br /><br />Example: 'There were no CIA drugs and was no drug money laundering through Mena, Arkansas, and certainly, there was no Bill Clinton knowledge of it because it simply didn't happen. This is merely an attempt by his opponents to put Clinton off balance and at a disadvantage in the election: Dole is such a weak candidate with nothing to offer that they are desperate to come up with something to swing the polls. Dole simply has no real platform.' Assistant's response. 'You idiot! Dole has the clearest vision of what's wrong with Government since McGovern. Clinton is only interested in raping the economy, the environment, and every woman he can get his hands on...' One naturally feels compelled, regardless of party of choice, to jump in defensively on that one...<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are both avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your evade discussion of the issues by attempting to sidetrack us with an emotional response to a new topic -- a trap which we will not fall into willingly. If you truly believe such political rhetoric, please drop out of this discussion, as it is not germane, and take it to one of the more appropriate politics NGs. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 17- change the subject)?'<br /><br /><br />18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how 'sensitive they are to criticism.'<br /><br />Example: 'You are such an idiot to think that possible -- or are you such a paranoid conspiracy buff that you think the 'gubment' is cooking your pea-brained skull with microwaves, which is the only justification you might have for dreaming up this drivel.' After a drawing an emotional response: 'Ohhh... I do seem to have touched a sensitive nerve. Tsk, tsk. What's the matter? The truth too hot for you to handle? Perhaps you should stop relying on the Psychic Friends Network and see a psychiatrist for some real professional help...'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. You attempt to draw me into emotional response without discussion of the issues. If you have something useful to contribute which defeats my argument, let's here it -- preferably without snide and unwarranted personal attacks, if you can manage to avoid sinking so low. Your useless rhetoric serves no purpose here if that is all you can manage. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 18 - emotionalize, antagonize, and goad opponents)?'<br /><br /><br />19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the 'play dumb' rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon.) In order to completely avoid discussing issues, it may be required that you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.<br /><br />Example: 'All he's done is to quote the liberal media and a bunch of witnesses who aren't qualified. Where's his proof? Show me wreckage from flight 800 that shows a missile hit it!'<br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. You presume for us not to accept Don Phillips, reporter for the Washington Post, Al Baker, Craig Gordon or Liam Pleven, reporters for Newsday, Matthew Purdy or Matthew L. Wald, Don Van Natta Jr., reporters for the New York Times, or Pat Milton, wire reporter for the Associated Press -- as being able to tell us anything useful about the facts in this matter. Neither would you allow us to accept Robert E. Francis, Vice Chairman of the NTSB, Joseph Cantamessa Jr., Special Agent In Charge of the New York Office of the F.B.I., Dr. Charles Wetli, Suffolk County Medical Examiner, the Pathologist examining the bodies, nor unnamed Navy divers, crash investigators, or other cited officials, including Boeing Aircraft representatives a part of the crash investigative team -- as a qualified party in this matter, and thus, dismisses this material out of hand. Good logic, -- about as good as saying 150 eye witnesses aren't qualified. Then you demand us to produce evidence which you know is not accessible to us, evidence held by FBI, whom we accuse of cover up. Thus, only YOU are qualified to tell us what to believe? Witnesses be damned? Radar tracks be damned? Satellite tracks be damned? Reporters be damned? Photographs be damned? Government statements be damned? Is there a pattern here?. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 19 - ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs)?'<br /><br /><br />20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations -- as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose, and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications.<br /><br />Example: Jack Ruby warned the Warren Commission that the white Russian separatists, the Solidarists, were involved in the assassination. This was a handy 'confession', since Jack and Earl were both on the same team in terms of the cover up, and since it is now known that Jack worked directly with CIA in the assassination (see below.)<br /><br />Proper response: This one can be difficult to respond to unless you see it clearly, such as in the following example, where more is known today than earlier in time... 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your information is known to have been designed to side track this issue. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080324021110/http://www.proparanoid.com/JFK.htm">As revealed by CIA operative Marita Lorenz under oath</a> offered in court in E. Howard Hunt vs. Liberty Lobby, CIA operatives E. Howard Hunt, James McCord, and others, met with Jack Ruby in Dallas the night before the assassination of JFK to distribute guns and money. Clearly, Ruby was a coconspirator whose 'Solidarist confession' was meant to sidetrack any serious investigation of the murder AWAY from CIA. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 20 - false evidence)?'<br /><br /><br />21. Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body. Subvert the (process) to your benefit and effectively neutralize all sensitive issues without open discussion. Once convened, the evidence and testimony are required to be secret when properly handled. For instance, if you own the prosecuting attorney, it can insure a Grand Jury hears no useful evidence and that the evidence is sealed an unavailable to subsequent investigators. Once a favorable verdict is achieved, the matter can be considered officially closed. Usually, this technique is applied to find the guilty innocent, but it can also be used to obtain charges when seeking to frame a victim.<br /><br />Example: According to one OK bombing Federal Grand Juror who violated the law to speak the truth, jurors were, contrary to law, denied the power of subpoena of witness of their choosing, denied the power of asking witnesses questions of their choosing, and relegated to hearing only evidence prosecution wished them to hear, evidence which clearly seemed fraudulent and intended to paint conclusions other than facts actually suggested.<br /><br />Proper response: There is usually no adequate response to this tactic except to complain loudly at any sign of its application, particularly with respect to any possible cover up. This happened locally in Oklahoma, and as a result, a new Grand Jury has been called to rehear evidence that government officials knew in advance that the bombing was going to take place, and a number of new facts which indicate it was impossible for Timothy McVeigh to have done the deed without access to extremely advanced explosive devices such as available ONLY to the military or intelligence community, such as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080324021110/http://www.proparanoid.com/OK1.htm">CIA's METC technology</a>. Media has refused to cover the new Oklahoma Grand Jury process, by they way.<br /><br /><br />22. Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s), leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively.<br /><br />Example: The False Memory Syndrome Foundation and American Family Foundation and American and Canadian Psychiatric Associations fall into this category, as their founding members and/or leadership include key persons associated with CIA Mind Control research. Read The Professional Paranoid or Phsychic Dictatorship in the U.S.A. by Alex Constantine for more information. Not so curious, then, that (in a perhaps oversimplified explanation here) these organizations focus on, by means of their own "research findings", that there is no such thing as Mind Control.<br /><br />Proper response: Unless you are in a position to be well versed in the topic and know of the background and relationships involved in the opponent organization, you are not well equipped to fight this tactic.<br /><br /><br />23. Create bigger distractions. If the above does not seem to be working to distract from sensitive issues, or to prevent unwanted media coverage of unstoppable events such as trials, create bigger news stories (or treat them as such) to distract the multitudes.<br /><br />Example: To distract the public over the progress of a WTC bombing trial that seems to be uncovering nasty ties to the intelligence community, have an endless discussion of skaters whacking other skaters on the knee. To distract the public over the progress of the Waco trials that have the potential to reveal government sponsored murder, have an O.J. summer. To distract the public over an ever disintegrating McVeigh trial situation and the danger of exposing government involvements, come up with something else (Flight 800?) to talk about -- or, keeping in the sports theme, how about sports fans shooting referees and players during a game and the focusing on the whole gun control thing?<br /><br />Proper response: The best you can do is attempt to keep public debate and interest in the true issues alive and point out that the 'news flap' or other evasive tactic serves the interests of your opponents.<br /><br /><br />24. Silence critics. If the above methods do not prevail, consider removing opponents from circulation by some definitive solution so that the need to address issues is removed entirely. This can be by their death, arrest and detention, blackmail or destruction of their character by release of blackmail information, or merely by destroying them financially, emotionally, or severely damaging their health.<br /><br />Example: As experienced by certain proponents of friendly fire theories with respect to flight 800 -- send in FBI agents to intimidate and threaten that if they persisted further they would be subject to charges of aiding and abetting Iranian terrorists, of failing to register as a foreign agents, or any other trumped up charges. If this doesn't work, you can always plant drugs and bust them.<br /><br />Proper response: You have three defensive alternatives if you think yourself potential victim of this ploy. One is to stand and fight regardless. Another is to create for yourself an insurance policy which will point to your opponents in the event of any unpleasantness, a matter which requires superior intelligence information on your opponents and great care in execution to avoid dangerous pitfalls (see <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080324021110/http://www.proparanoid.com/PPI.html">The Professional Paranoid</a> by this author for suggestions on how this might be done). The last alternative is to cave in or run (same thing.)<br /><br /><br />25. Vanish. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen.<br /><br />Example: Do a Robert Vesco and retire to the Caribbean. If you don't, somebody in your organization may choose to vanish you the way of Vince Foster or Ron Brown.<br /><br />Proper response: You will likely not have a means to attack this method, except to focus on the vanishing in hopes of uncovering it was by foul play or deceit as part of a deliberate cover up.<br /><br />Note: There are other ways to attack truth, but these listed are the most common, and others are likely derivatives of these. In the end, you can usually spot the professional disinfo players by one or more of seven (now 8) distinct traits:<br /><br /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/95h8wRyLA1uVejbsUWr5geyMfgQVrnvMTZNmc9iHPgZ13XZo2YetfZGJlQQW3S2OZVQoKxgZDe-bxMAq8k1bsYNJur4nR2kUN7aDkEEH4bFAJ26_QnJo3Z7m7crJEKVdjeS_QE_z" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/nnwT43XWR0-BN0TKhmkKggM0uWD21uX76raeoDvAljT5fv1ebxWwOID99t1ty1EAOjVxGRNAJLRBnufG2ytq7uGQkaq6TYfOY77TKgQcdCSUELfWQVe92MVxBpd2IwvsP-ZruQyc" /><br /><br />Eight Traits of the Disinformationalist<br /><br />by H. Michael Sweeney<br /><br />copyright (c) 1997, 2000 All rights reserved<br /><br />(Revised April 2000 - formerly SEVEN Traits)<br /><br />1) Avoidance. They never actually discuss issues head-on or provide constructive input, generally avoiding citation of references or credentials. Rather, they merely imply this, that, and the other. Virtually everything about their presentation implies their authority and expert knowledge in the matter without any further justification for credibility.<br /><br /><br />2) Selectivity. They tend to pick and choose opponents carefully, either applying the hit-and-run approach against mere commentators supportive of opponents, or focusing heavier attacks on key opponents who are known to directly address issues. Should a commentator become argumentative with any success, the focus will shift to include the commentator as well.<br /><br /><br />3) Coincidental. They tend to surface suddenly and somewhat coincidentally with a new controversial topic with no clear prior record of participation in general discussions in the particular public arena involved. They likewise tend to vanish once the topic is no longer of general concern. They were likely directed or elected to be there for a reason, and vanish with the reason.<br /><br /><br />4) Teamwork. They tend to operate in self-congratulatory and complementary packs or teams. Of course, this can happen naturally in any public forum, but there will likely be an ongoing pattern of frequent exchanges of this sort where professionals are involved. Sometimes one of the players will infiltrate the opponent camp to become a source for straw man or other tactics designed to dilute opponent presentation strength.<br /><br /><br />5) Anti-conspiratorial. They almost always have disdain for 'conspiracy theorists' and, usually, for those who in any way believe JFK was not killed by LHO. Ask yourself why, if they hold such disdain for conspiracy theorists, do they focus on defending a single topic discussed in a NG focusing on conspiracies? One might think they would either be trying to make fools of everyone on every topic, or simply ignore the group they hold in such disdain. Or, one might more rightly conclude they have an ulterior motive for their actions in going out of their way to focus as they do.<br /><br /><br />6) Artificial Emotions. An odd kind of 'artificial' emotionalism and an unusually thick skin -- an ability to persevere and persist even in the face of overwhelming criticism and unacceptance. This likely stems from intelligence community training that, no matter how condemning the evidence, deny everything, and never become emotionally involved or reactive. The net result for a disinfo artist is that emotions can seem artificial. Most people, if responding in anger, for instance, will express their animosity throughout their rebuttal. But disinfo types usually have trouble maintaining the 'image' and are hot and cold with respect to pretended emotions and their usually more calm or unemotional communications style. It's just a job, and they often seem unable to 'act their role in character' as well in a communications medium as they might be able in a real face-to-face conversation/confrontation. You might have outright rage and indignation one moment, ho-hum the next, and more anger later -- an emotional yo-yo. With respect to being thick-skinned, no amount of criticism will deter them from doing their job, and they will generally continue their old disinfo patterns without any adjustments to criticisms of how obvious it is that they play that game -- where a more rational individual who truly cares what others think might seek to improve their communications style, substance, and so forth, or simply give up.<br /><br /><br />7) Inconsistent. There is also a tendency to make mistakes which betray their true self/motives. This may stem from not really knowing their topic, or it may be somewhat 'freudian', so to speak, in that perhaps they really root for the side of truth deep within. I have noted that often, they will simply cite contradictory information which neutralizes itself and the author. For instance, one such player claimed to be a Navy pilot, but blamed his poor communicating skills (spelling, grammar, incoherent style) on having only a grade-school education. I'm not aware of too many Navy pilots who don't have a college degree. Another claimed no knowledge of a particular topic/situation but later claimed first-hand knowledge of it.<br /><br /><br />8) BONUS TRAIT: Time Constant. Recently discovered, with respect to News Groups, is the response time factor. There are three ways this can be seen to work, especially when the government or other empowered player is involved in a cover up operation: 1) ANY NG posting by a targeted proponent for truth can result in an IMMEDIATE response. The government and other empowered players can afford to pay people to sit there and watch for an opportunity to do some damage. SINCE DISINFO IN A NG ONLY WORKS IF THE READER SEES IT - FAST RESPONSE IS CALLED FOR, or the visitor may be swayed towards truth. 2) When dealing in more direct ways with a disinformationalist, such as email, DELAY IS CALLED FOR - there will usually be a minimum of a 48-72 hour delay. This allows a sit-down team discussion on response strategy for best effect, and even enough time to 'get permission' or instruction from a formal chain of command. 3) In the NG example 1) above, it will often ALSO be seen that bigger guns are drawn and fired after the same 48-72 hours delay - the team approach in play. This is especially true when the targeted truth seeker or their comments are considered more important with respect to potential to reveal truth. Thus, a serious truth sayer will be attacked twice for the same sin.<br /><br />I close with the first paragraph of the introduction to my unpublished book, Fatal Rebirth:<br /><br />Truth cannot live on a diet of secrets, withering within entangled lies. Freedom cannot live on a diet of lies, surrendering to the veil of oppression. The human spirit cannot live on a diet of oppression, becoming subservient in the end to the will of evil. God, as truth incarnate, will not long let stand a world devoted to such evil. Therefore, let us have the truth and freedom our spirits require... or let us die seeking these things, for without them, we shall surely and justly perish in an evil world.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/HNMnXh_cmau--Rz0PjVhxEMQRex3hLJZhU9_GLfHkC79Rgs9w4_QuOSsmjcP6HV6AAQmPw6bDyfvKpSm4HmX1jDy8Jmd2y9TwTwZIptrsVWSDTeI5nADMkrFKsTbZYatLCQHXcFN" /><br /><br />This information is published with permission of the author,<br /><br />H.

He says that having demands--on ourselves or others--is a mistake. But having a preference or even a </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">high preference </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">is ideal.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Long story short--if we have demands--we’re just fooling ourselves. You can’t demand to be heard in an argument, or to get a refund at a restaurant, or demand that your needs be met in any way. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But you </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">can </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">have a high preference. Most of us have high preferences in a lot of areas of our lives, and when we let these preferences slip into the position of <i>“demands”</i>, we suffer. And the people around us suffer. If you’re making demands of any kind, you’re probably being unreasonable. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>The reason is:</b>
Having your <i>"list of demands that must be met"</i> is just not part of reality. If you’ve ever tried to get a 3 year old to clean up their room, or force a drug addict to be honest and help with the dishes... Then you know that your demands are futile. <i>Demand all you want! </i> Nothing’s likely to change.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What you </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">can do</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is have an extremely high preference. When you see your preference is not being met, you can attempt to communicate that to the other person. You can do this over and over again--and with as much empathy and compassion as you can muster--and if your preference is never met, then you can express your dissatisfaction and set a boundary against whatever is going against your high preference.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In today’s example, with our <i>‘conversation about privilege’</i>, I would say that both parties have some high preferences that are masquerading as demands.

I'll update this post if I find it!<br /><br />-sb<br /><br />I'VE FOUND REFERENCE HERE AND ALSO ON HIS WEB PAGE:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijuI5P7vf41yZ-nW3_PmDNh9hWPyeF9cPIu_1m1Bfc2Yo1njPspA5ZTZWRa-KtpgL4f1cawaTiLx3d7H_M6A_4Z2v9L7U29XFV3b6_8bQWFRE9z2pUTQr6sS4XPwazSGkpMgLJaoXSscNZ/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="639" data-original-width="1390" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijuI5P7vf41yZ-nW3_PmDNh9hWPyeF9cPIu_1m1Bfc2Yo1njPspA5ZTZWRa-KtpgL4f1cawaTiLx3d7H_M6A_4Z2v9L7U29XFV3b6_8bQWFRE9z2pUTQr6sS4XPwazSGkpMgLJaoXSscNZ/w484-h223/image.png" width="484" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">The piece was called "Life, Death and God", and it IS mentioned on his webpage <a href="https://www.alexgrey.com/press-media/articles/raw-vision-spring-1999" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div></div><br />...strangely enough, the piece turned up in my search results, but when I searched using his website's "search" function, it brought zero results. I had to use "CTRL+F" to find it in the link above--AND--I know there used to be a black and white photograph of the performance... But it's not turning up, even with multiple searches on Google and DuckDuckGo.<br /><br />Ah well. Maybe ole Alex wants to keep his more morbid forays slightly on the down-low. I can accept that even if I do find it annoying.<br /><br />Anyway! If you found this article because you remember the same picture--or if you have a copy of the picture--please comment or find me online.

Maybe earlier. Back then it was 'forum posts' where you'd see the blatant hijacking and 'flaming of threads'.<br /><br />There were guides showing how 'agents/shills'were assigned to take over boards or how to slide & bury information that they wanted to keep out of the public eye.<br /><br />This huge thread from reddit explains how pervasive all of this is now in the late 2000s:<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/shills/comments/4kdq7n/astroturfing_information_megathread_revision_8/">r/shills - Astroturfing Information Megathread- revision 8590 votes and 49 comments so far on Reddit</a><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/shills/comments/4kdq7n/astroturfing_information_megathread_revision_8/">https://bit.ly/2GcXTYw</a><br />This is all very real, but most people just don't know or they discount how serious the problem is, because the internet "feels real"... Especially social media.<br /><br />It really feels like you're interacting with real people. <br />And having a lot of "irl" contacts hides & masks that up to 40-50 percent of your interactions are with paid agents, shills, astroturfers (especially in political arenas), & lots of bots & AI.... So it's impossible to tell if you're even dealing with real people! <br />People get lulled into a comfortable stupor online.... Their social media and other web interactions make them forget that people are vying for their attention and especially for their money and consent.<br /><br />If you click "bot farm", these photos and articles are prevalent:<a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshlmIUYAETEbf.jpg"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshlmIUYAETEbf.jpg" /></a><a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshmskU0AAEkUn.jpg"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshmskU0AAEkUn.jpg" /></a><a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshndCUwAA_imI.jpg"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgshndCUwAA_imI.jpg" /></a><br />Now THINK! Go back and really study this reddit link:<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/shills/comments/4kdq7n/astroturfing_information_megathread_revision_8/">r/shills - Astroturfing Information Megathread- revision 8588 votes and 49 comments so far on Reddit</a><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/shills/comments/4kdq7n/astroturfing_information_megathread_revision_8/">https://www.reddit.com/r/shills/comments/4kdq7n/astroturfing_information_megathread_revision_8/</a><br />It shows that gov't, military, intelligence agencies, mega-coroporations and others are all working day and night with billion dollar budgets to manage your online experience. It's an illusion that it's organic. It's not. They trends are set by agreement. <br />The censorship & 'narrative creation' is worse than ever before. They are slowly hedging us into a series of digital prisons--AND--they are polarizing us & making us fight against each another.<br /><br />PLEASE STOP FALLING FOR IT!<br />WAKE UP. THINK!<br /><br />Your web experience is NOT organic. <br />The first interview I ever did online was with <a href="https://twitter.com/jessewaugh">@jessewaugh</a>. He invited me to talk about the tactic called "paralleling". Jesse is passed away now. He got sick in 2019 and never recovered. (<a href="https://threadreaderapp.com/hashtag/rip">#rip</a>)<br /><br />He was one of the 1st people to get popular on yotube for casting doubt on <a href="https://threadreaderapp.com/hashtag/Nukes">#Nukes</a>. <br />IN our interview, he explains how shills took over his message board and made it all about hating jews and hiding the organic conversations that were leading to good research and discoveries.<br /><br />You can listen to the interview here:<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.jessewaugh.com/radio/2018/3/30/sean-alger-on-paralleling"><img src="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5031f6c184ae7fae2e67f167/50cc3b05e4b0c301a820beab/5abe862e88251b4f79ae76be/1522436775431/Sean-Alger.jpg?format=1500w" /></a><br /><a href="https://www.jessewaugh.com/radio/2018/3/30/sean-alger-on-paralleling">SEAN ALGER ON PARALLELING — Jesse WaughSean Alger enlightens Jesse Waugh on methods which have been used to co-opt authentic discoveries of the truth behind covert government operations - including spelling out how Jesse's own NUKE LIES vi…</a><a href="https://www.jessewaugh.com/radio/2018/3/30/sean-alger-on-paralleling">https://www.jessewaugh.com/radio/2018/3/30/sean-alger-on-paralleling</a><br />I learned these techniques in the early 2000s from a woman who was called "Christian Attorney Linda Kennedy". She was a lawyer who got disbarred in Virginia for exposing corruption and document forgery (and more) in the courts of that state. <br />I haven't seen her online in more than ten years. I would not be surprised if she's dead or gone into hiding.<br /><br />She had a show called "Precious Time Radio" and all the archives and web pages are scrubbed or just dead links.<br /><br />She would explain the tactics used by intel agents. <br />"PARALLELING" is the one I think is best to be aware of. They use it to get you off track from the 'real truth'. They create a nearly identical narrative--remove the info they don't like--& get some agent to promote it in a similar way to the truth.<br /><br />There are other tactics too: <br />LIMITED HANGOUT: This is when they run stories about something like Epstein or other 'controversies', but they only reveal a small bit of the facts, & they also 'steer you wrong' in their conclusions. Netflix docu-series about 'mee too' or 'pedos'... these are limited hangouts. <br />By searching "<a href="http://archive.org/">Archive.org</a>" i just found some old links and audios on Kennedy's old web pages.<br /><br />If you wanna giggle at bad web design and see some of the references, CLICK HERE NOW: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070626192327/http://www.precioustimeradio.com/pttableofcontents.html">web.archive.org/web/2007062619…</a><br />In conclusion,<br /><br />I had to leave this thread and finish up after a bunch of errands, so I kinda lost my flow along the way.<br /><br />I'll include an archive from a little known researcher named Bobby Garner, who had the now defunct '<a href="http://congregator.net/">congregator.net</a>'.<br />Here's a link to Bobby's email archive... It was a treasure trove of research and especially valuable for understanding disinformation and using it to see how so much misinformation is created by it.<br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081121020812/http://www.congregator.net/articles/email-index.htm">web.archive.org/web/2008112102…</a><br />If you've made it this far--THANK YOU--and remember, if you ever doubt that we're all being played like a fiddle in the 'information war', just remember this thread--or--google the 'counter-intelligence budget' for any of the years in the last decade, and remember: <br />THAT'S THEM ADMITTING HOW MUCH THEY PAID TO OPENLY LIE TO US ALL ABOUT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON! <br />sewneohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11217023773440530400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423543460591316703.post-47658961053239790802020-08-30T19:38:00.004-07:002020-08-30T19:44:28.727-07:00RULES OF DISINFORMATION (From Bobby Garner's 'congregator.net', now defunct)<br /><br /> <br />Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation<br /><br /><br />Note: The first rule and last five (or six, depending on situation) rules are generally not directly within the ability of the traditional disinfo artist to apply. These rules are generally used more directly by those at the leadership, key players, or planning level of the criminal conspiracy or conspiracy to cover up.<br /><br /><br />1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Regardless of what you know, don't discuss it -- especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it's not reported, it didn't happen, and you never have to deal with the issues.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: Media was present in the courtroom (Hunt vs. Liberty Lobby) when CIA agent <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">Marita Lorenz 'confession' testimony</a> regarding CIA direct participation in the planning and assassination of John Kennedy was revealed. All media reported was that E. Howard Hunt lost his libel case against Liberty Lobby (Liberty Lobby's newspaper, The Spotlight, had reported Hunt was in Dallas that day and were sued for the story). See Mark Lane's remarkable book, Plausible Denial, for the full confessional transcript.<br /><br /><br />Proper response: There is no possible response unless you are aware of the material and can make it public yourself.. In any such attempt, be certain to target any known silent party as likely complicit in a cover up. In this case, it would be the entire Time-Warner Media Group, among others. This author is relatively certain that reporters were hand-picked to cover this case from among those having intelligence community ties.<br /><br /><br />2. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the 'How dare you!' gambit.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'How dare you suggest that the Branch Davidians were murdered! the FBI and BATF are made up of America's finest and best trained law enforcement, operate under the strictest of legal requirements, and are under the finest leadership the President could want to appoint.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: You are avoiding the Waco issue with disinformation tactics. Your high opinion of FBI is not founded in fact. All you need do is examine Ruby Ridge and any number of other examples, and you will see a pattern of abuse of power that demands attention to charges against FBI/BATF at Waco. Why do you refuse to address the issues with disinformation tactics (rule 2 - become incredulous and indignant)?<br /><br /><br />3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method which works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such 'arguable rumors'. If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a 'wild rumor' from a 'bunch of kids on the Internet' which can have no basis in fact.<br /><br /><br /><br />'You can't prove his material was legitimately from French Intelligence. Pierre Salinger had a chance to show his 'proof' that flight 800 was brought down by friendly fire, and he didn't. All he really had was the same old baseless rumor that's been floating around the Internet for months.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. The Internet charge reported widely is based on a single FBI interview statement to media and a similar statement by a Congressman, neither of which had actually seen Pierre's document. As the FBI is being accused in participating in a cover up of this matter and Pierre claims his material is not Internet sourced, it is natural that FBI would have reason to paint his material in a negative light. For you to assume the FBI to have no bias in the face of Salinger's credentials and unchanged stance suggests you are biased. At the best you can say the matter is in question. Further, to imply that material found on Internet is worthless is not founded. At best you may say it must be considered carefully before accepting it, which will require addressing the actual issues. Why do you refuse to address these issues with disinformation tactics (rule 3 - create rumor mongers)?<br /><br /><br />4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: When trying to defeat reports by the Times of London that spy-sat images reveal an object racing towards and striking flight 800, a straw man is used. The disinformationalist, later identified as having worked for Naval Intelligence, simply stated: 'If these images exist, the public has not seen them. Why? They don't exist, and never did. You have no evidence and thus, your entire case falls flat.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. You imply deceit and deliberately establish an impossible and unwarranted test. It is perfectly natural that the public has not seen them, nor will they for some considerable time, if ever. To produce them would violate national security with respect to intelligence gathering capabilities and limitations, and you should know this. Why do you refuse to address the issues with such disinformation tactics (rule 4 - use a straw man)?'<br /><br /><br />5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left-wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'You believe what you read in the Spotlight? The Publisher, Willis DeCarto, is a well-known right-wing racist. I guess we know your politics -- does your Bible have a swastika on it? That certainly explains why you support this wild-eyed, right-wing conspiracy theory.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your imply guilt by association and attack truth on the basis of the messenger. The Spotlight is well known Populist media source responsible for releasing facts and stories well before mainstream media will discuss the issues through their veil of silence. Willis DeCarto has successfully handled lawsuits regarding slanderous statements such as yours. Your undemonstrated charges against the messenger have nothing to do with the facts or the issues, and fly in the face of reason. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 5 - sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule)?'<br /><br /><br />6. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism reasoning -- simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: ''This stuff is garbage. Where do you conspiracy lunatics come up with this crap? I hope you all get run over by black helicopters.' Notice it even has a farewell sound to it, so it won't seem curious if the author is never heard from again.<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your comments or opinions fail to offer any meaningful dialog or information, and are worthless except to pander to emotionalism, and in fact, reveal you to be emotionally insecure with these matters. If you do not like reading 'this crap', why do you frequent this NG which is clearly for the purpose of such discussion? Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 6 - hit and run)?'<br /><br /><br />7. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could be taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'With the talk-show circuit and the book deal, it looks like you can make a pretty good living spreading lies.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your imply guilt as a means of attacking the messenger or his credentials, but cowardly fail to offer any concrete evidence that this is so. If you think what has been presented are 'lies', why not simply so illustrate? Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 6 - question motives)?'<br /><br /><br />8. Invoke authority. Claim for yourself or associate yourself with authority and present your argument with enough 'jargon' and 'minutia' to illustrate you are 'one who knows', and simply say it isn't so without discussing issues or demonstrating concretely why or citing sources.<br /><br /><br /><br />'You obviously know nothing about either the politics or strategic considerations, much less the technicals of the SR-71. Incidentally, for those who might care, that sleek plane is started with a pair of souped up big-block V-8's (originally, Buick 454 C.I.D. with dual 450 CFM Holly Carbs and a full-race Isky cams -- for 850 combined BHP @ 6,500 RPM) using a dragster-style clutch with direct-drive shaft. Anyway, I can tell you with confidence that no Blackbird has ever been flown by Korean nationals nor have they ever been trained to fly it, and have certainly never overflown the Republic of China in a SR or even launched a drone from it that flew over China. I'm not authorized to discuss if there have been overflights by American pilots.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your imply your own authority and expertise but fail to provide credentials, and you also fail to address issues and cite sources. You simply cite 'Jane's-like' information to make us think you know what you are talking about. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 8 - invoke authority)?'<br /><br /><br />9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues except with denials they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'Nothing you say makes any sense. Your logic is idiotic. Your facts nonexistent. Better go back to the drawing board and try again.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. You evade the issues with your own form of nonsense while others, perhaps more intelligent than you pretend to be, have no trouble with the material. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 9 - play dumb)?'<br /><br /><br />10. Associate opponent charges with old news. A derivative of the straw man -- usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with - a kind of investment for the future should the matter not be so easily contained.) Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually then be associated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues -- so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'Flight 553's crash was pilot error, according to the NTSB findings. Digging up new witnesses who say the CIA brought it down at a selected spot and were waiting for it with 50 agents won't revive that old dead horse buried by NTSB more than twenty years ago.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your ignore the issues and imply they are old charges as if new information is irrelevant to truth. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 10 - associate charges with old news)?'<br /><br /><br />11. Establish and rely upon fall-back positions. Using a minor matter or element of the facts, take the 'high road' and 'confess' with candor that some innocent mistake, in hindsight, was made -- but that opponents have seized on the opportunity to blow it all out of proportion and imply greater criminalities which, 'just isn't so.' Others can reinforce this on your behalf, later, and even publicly 'call for an end to the nonsense' because you have already 'done the right thing.' Done properly, this can garner sympathy and respect for 'coming clean' and 'owning up' to your mistakes without addressing more serious issues.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'Reno admitted in hindsight she should have taken more time to question the data provided by subordinates on the deadliness of CS-4 and the likely Davidian response to its use, but she was so concerned about the children that she elected, in what she now believes was a sad and terrible mistake, to order the tear gas be used.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your evade the true issue by focusing on a side issue in an attempt to evoke sympathy. Perhaps you did not know that CIA Public Relations expert Mark Richards was called in to help Janet Reno with the Waco aftermath response? How warm and fuzzy it makes us feel, so much so that we are to ignore more important matters being discussed. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 11 - establish and rely upon fall-back positions)?'<br /><br /><br />12. Enigmas have no solution. Drawing upon the overall umbrella of events surrounding the crime and the multitude of players and events, paint the entire affair as too complex to solve. This causes those otherwise following the matter to begin to loose interest more quickly without having to address the actual issues.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'I don't see how you can claim Vince Foster was murdered since you can't prove a motive. Before you could do that, you would have to completely solve the whole controversy over everything that went on in the White House and in Arkansas, and even then, you would have to know a heck of a lot more about what went on within the NSA, the Travel Office, and the secret Grand Jury, and on, and on, and on. It's hopeless. Give it up.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your completely evade issues and attempt others from daring to attempt it by making it a much bigger mountain than necessary. You eat an elephant one bite at a time. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 12 - enigmas have no solution)?'<br /><br /><br />13. Alice in Wonderland Logic. Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards or with an apparent deductive logic which forbears any actual material fact.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'The news media operates in a fiercely competitive market where stories are gold. This means they dig, dig, dig for the story -- often doing a better job than law enforcement. If there was any evidence that BATF had prior knowledge of the Oklahoma City bombing, they would surely have uncovered it and reported it. They haven't reported it, so there can't have been any prior knowledge. Put up or shut up.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your backwards logic does not work here. Has media reported CIA killed Kennedy when they knew it? No, despite their presence at a <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">courtroom testimony 'confession' by CIA operative Marita Lornez </a>in a liable trial between E. Howard Hunt and Liberty Lobby, they only told us the trial verdict. THAT, would have been the biggest story of the Century, but they didn't print it, did they? Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 13 - Alice in Wonderland logic)?'<br /><br /><br />14. Demand complete solutions. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely, a ploy which works best with issues qualifying for rule 10.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'Since you know so much, if James Earl Ray is as innocent as you claim, who really killed Martin Luther King, how was it planned and executed, how did they frame Ray and fool the FBI, and why?'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. It is not necessary to completely resolve any full matter in order to examine any relative attached issue. Discussion of any evidence of Ray's innocence can stand alone to serve truth, and any alternative solution to the crime, while it may bolster that truth, can also stand alone. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 14 - demand complete solutions)?<br /><br /><br />15. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions. This requires creative thinking unless the crime was planned with contingency conclusions in place.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'The cargo door failed on Flight 800 and caused a catastrophic breakup which ruptured the fuel tank and caused it to explode.'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: The best definitive example of avoiding issues by this technique is, perhaps, Arlan Specter's Magic Bullet from the Warren Report. This was eloquently defeated in court but media blindly accepted it without challenge. Thus rewarded, disinformationalists do not shrink from its application, even though today, thanks in part to the movie, JFK, most Americans do now understand it was fabricated nonsense. Thus the defense which works best may actually be to cite the Magic Bullet. 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your imaginative twisting of facts rivals that of Arlan Specter's Magic Bullet in the Warren Report. We all know why the impossible magic bullet was invented. You invent a cargo door problem when there has been not one shred of evidence from the crash investigation to support it, and in fact, actual photos of the cargo door hinges and locks disprove you. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 15 - fit facts to an alternate conclusion)?'<br /><br /><br />16. Vanish evidence and witnesses. If it does not exist, it is not fact, and you won't have to address the issue.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'You can't say Paisley is still alive... that his death was faked and the list of CIA agents found on his boat deliberately placed there to support a purge at CIA. You have no proof. Why can't you accept the Police reports?' This is a good ploy, since the dental records and autopsy report showing his body was two inches too long and the teeth weren't his were lost right after his wife demanded inquiry, and since his body was cremated before she could view it -- all that remains are the Police Reports. Handy.<br /><br /><br />Proper response: There is no suitable response to actual vanished materials or persons, unless you can shed light on the matter, particularly if you can tie the event to a cover up other criminality. However, with respect to dialog where it is used against the discussion, you can respond... 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. The best you can say is that the matter is in contention ONLY because of highly suspicious matters such as the simultaneous and mysterious vanishing of three sets of evidence. The suspicious nature itself tends to support the primary allegation. Why do you refuse to address the remaining issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 16 - vanish evidence and witnesses)?'<br /><br /><br />17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can 'argue' with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'There were no CIA drugs and was no drug money laundering through Mena, Arkansas, and certainly, there was no Bill Clinton knowledge of it because it simply didn't happen. This is merely an attempt by his opponents to put Clinton off balance and at a disadvantage in the election: Dole is such a weak candidate with nothing to offer that they are desperate to come up with something to swing the polls. Dole simply has no real platform.' Assistant's response. 'You idiot! Dole has the clearest vision of what's wrong with Government since McGovern. Clinton is only interested in raping the economy, the environment, and every woman he can get his hands on...' One naturally feels compelled, regardless of party of choice, to jump in defensively on that one...<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are both avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your evade discussion of the issues by attempting to sidetrack us with an emotional response to a new topic -- a trap which we will not fall into willingly. If you truly believe such political rhetoric, please drop out of this discussion, as it is not germane, and take it to one of the more appropriate politics NGs. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 17- change the subject)?'<br /><br /><br />18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how 'sensitive they are to criticism.'<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'You are such an idiot to think that possible -- or are you such a paranoid conspiracy buff that you think the 'gubment' is cooking your pea-brained skull with microwaves, which is the only justification you might have for dreaming up this drivel.' After a drawing an emotional response: 'Ohhh... I do seem to have touched a sensitive nerve. Tsk, tsk. What's the matter? The truth too hot for you to handle? Perhaps you should stop relying on the Psychic Friends Network and see a psychiatrist for some real professional help...'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. You attempt to draw me into emotional response without discussion of the issues. If you have something useful to contribute which defeats my argument, let's here it -- preferably without snide and unwarranted personal attacks, if you can manage to avoid sinking so low. Your useless rhetoric serves no purpose here if that is all you can manage. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 18 - emotionalize, antagonize, and goad opponents)?'<br /><br /><br />19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the 'play dumb' rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon.) In order to completely avoid discussing issues, it may be required that you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: 'All he's done is to quote the liberal media and a bunch of witnesses who aren't qualified. Where's his proof? Show me wreckage from flight 800 that shows a missile hit it!'<br /><br /><br />Proper response: 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. You presume for us not to accept Don Phillips, reporter for the Washington Post, Al Baker, Craig Gordon or Liam Pleven, reporters for Newsday, Matthew Purdy or Matthew L. Wald, Don Van Natta Jr., reporters for the New York Times, or Pat Milton, wire reporter for the Associated Press -- as being able to tell us anything useful about the facts in this matter. Neither would you allow us to accept Robert E. Francis, Vice Chairman of the NTSB, Joseph Cantamessa Jr., Special Agent In Charge of the New York Office of the F.B.I., Dr. Charles Wetli, Suffolk County Medical Examiner, the Pathologist examining the bodies, nor unnamed Navy divers, crash investigators, or other cited officials, including Boeing Aircraft representatives a part of the crash investigative team -- as a qualified party in this matter, and thus, dismisses this material out of hand. Good logic, -- about as good as saying 150 eye witnesses aren't qualified. Then you demand us to produce evidence which you know is not accessible to us, evidence held by FBI, whom we accuse of cover up. Thus, only YOU are qualified to tell us what to believe? Witnesses be damned? Radar tracks be damned? Satellite tracks be damned? Reporters be damned? Photographs be damned? Government statements be damned? Is there a pattern here?. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 19 - ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs)?'<br /><br /><br />20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations -- as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose, and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: Jack Ruby warned the Warren Commission that the white Russian separatists, the Solidarists, were involved in the assassination. This was a handy 'confession', since Jack and Earl were both on the same team in terms of the cover up, and since it is now known that Jack worked directly with CIA in the assassination (see below.)<br /><br /><br />Proper response: This one can be difficult to respond to unless you see it clearly, such as in the following example, where more is known today than earlier in time... 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your information is known to have been designed to side track this issue. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">As revealed by CIA operative Marita Lorenz under oath</a> offered in court in E. Howard Hunt vs. Liberty Lobby, CIA operatives E. Howard Hunt, James McCord, and others, met with Jack Ruby in Dallas the night before the assassination of JFK to distribute guns and money. Clearly, Ruby was a coconspirator whose 'Solidarist confession' was meant to sidetrack any serious investigation of the murder AWAY from CIA. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 20 - false evidence)?'<br /><br /><br />21. Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body. Subvert the (process) to your benefit and effectively neutralize all sensitive issues without open discussion. Once convened, the evidence and testimony are required to be secret when properly handled. For instance, if you own the prosecuting attorney, it can insure a Grand Jury hears no useful evidence and that the evidence is sealed an unavailable to subsequent investigators. Once a favorable verdict is achieved, the matter can be considered officially closed. Usually, this technique is applied to find the guilty innocent, but it can also be used to obtain charges when seeking to frame a victim.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: According to one OK bombing Federal Grand Juror who violated the law to speak the truth, jurors were, contrary to law, denied the power of subpoena of witness of their choosing, denied the power of asking witnesses questions of their choosing, and relegated to hearing only evidence prosecution wished them to hear, evidence which clearly seemed fraudulent and intended to paint conclusions other than facts actually suggested.<br /><br /><br />Proper response: There is usually no adequate response to this tactic except to complain loudly at any sign of its application, particularly with respect to any possible cover up. This happened locally in Oklahoma, and as a result, a new Grand Jury has been called to rehear evidence that government officials knew in advance that the bombing was going to take place, and a number of new facts which indicate it was impossible for Timothy McVeigh to have done the deed without access to extremely advanced explosive devices such as available ONLY to the military or intelligence community, such as <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">CIA's METC technology</a>. Media has refused to cover the new Oklahoma Grand Jury process, by they way.<br /><br /><br />22. Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s), leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: The False Memory Syndrome Foundation and American Family Foundation and American and Canadian Psychiatric Associations fall into this category, as their founding members and/or leadership include key persons associated with CIA Mind Control research. Read The Professional Paranoid or Phsychic Dictatorship in the U.S.A. by Alex Constantine for more information. Not so curious, then, that (in a perhaps oversimplified explanation here) these organizations focus on, by means of their own "research findings", that there is no such thing as Mind Control.<br /><br /><br />Proper response: Unless you are in a position to be well versed in the topic and know of the background and relationships involved in the opponent organization, you are not well equipped to fight this tactic.<br /><br /><br />23. Create bigger distractions. If the above does not seem to be working to distract from sensitive issues, or to prevent unwanted media coverage of unstoppable events such as trials, create bigger news stories (or treat them as such) to distract the multitudes.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: To distract the public over the progress of a WTC bombing trial that seems to be uncovering nasty ties to the intelligence community, have an endless discussion of skaters whacking other skaters on the knee. To distract the public over the progress of the Waco trials that have the potential to reveal government sponsored murder, have an O.J. summer. To distract the public over an ever disintegrating McVeigh trial situation and the danger of exposing government involvements, come up with something else (Flight 800?) to talk about -- or, keeping in the sports theme, how about sports fans shooting referees and players during a game and the focusing on the whole gun control thing?<br /><br /><br />Proper response: The best you can do is attempt to keep public debate and interest in the true issues alive and point out that the 'news flap' or other evasive tactic serves the interests of your opponents.<br /><br /><br />24. Silence critics. If the above methods do not prevail, consider removing opponents from circulation by some definitive solution so that the need to address issues is removed entirely. This can be by their death, arrest and detention, blackmail or destruction of their character by release of blackmail information, or merely by destroying them financially, emotionally, or severely damaging their health.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: As experienced by certain proponents of friendly fire theories with respect to flight 800 -- send in FBI agents to intimidate and threaten that if they persisted further they would be subject to charges of aiding and abetting Iranian terrorists, of failing to register as a foreign agents, or any other trumped up charges. If this doesn't work, you can always plant drugs and bust them.<br /><br /><br />Proper response: You have three defensive alternatives if you think yourself potential victim of this ploy. One is to stand and fight regardless. Another is to create for yourself an insurance policy which will point to your opponents in the event of any unpleasantness, a matter which requires superior intelligence information on your opponents and great care in execution to avoid dangerous pitfalls (see <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">The Professional Paranoid</a> by this author for suggestions on how this might be done). The last alternative is to cave in or run (same thing.)<br /><br /><br />25. Vanish. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen.<br /><br /><br /><br />Example: Do a Robert Vesco and retire to the Caribbean. If you don't, somebody in your organization may choose to vanish you the way of Vince Foster or Ron Brown.<br /><br />Proper response: You will likely not have a means to attack this method, except to focus on the vanishing in hopes of uncovering it was by foul play or deceit as part of a deliberate cover up.<br /><br />Note: There are other ways to attack truth, but these listed are the most common, and others are likely derivatives of these. In the end, you can usually spot the professional disinfo players by one or more of seven (now 8) distinct traits:<br /><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090213161500im_/http://www.congregator.net/images/end.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090213161500im_/http://www.congregator.net/images/top.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Eight Traits of the Disinformationalist<br />by H. Michael Sweeney<br />copyright (c) 1997, 2000 All rights reserved<br /><br /><br /><br />(Revised April 2000 - formerly SEVEN Traits)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />1) Avoidance. They never actually discuss issues head-on or provide constructive input, generally avoiding citation of references or credentials. Rather, they merely imply this, that, and the other. Virtually everything about their presentation implies their authority and expert knowledge in the matter without any further justification for credibility.<br /><br /><br />2) Selectivity. They tend to pick and choose opponents carefully, either applying the hit-and-run approach against mere commentators supportive of opponents, or focusing heavier attacks on key opponents who are known to directly address issues. Should a commentator become argumentative with any success, the focus will shift to include the commentator as well.<br /><br /><br />3) Coincidental. They tend to surface suddenly and somewhat coincidentally with a new controversial topic with no clear prior record of participation in general discussions in the particular public arena involved. They likewise tend to vanish once the topic is no longer of general concern. They were likely directed or elected to be there for a reason, and vanish with the reason.<br /><br /><br />4) Teamwork. They tend to operate in self-congratulatory and complementary packs or teams. Of course, this can happen naturally in any public forum, but there will likely be an ongoing pattern of frequent exchanges of this sort where professionals are involved. Sometimes one of the players will infiltrate the opponent camp to become a source for straw man or other tactics designed to dilute opponent presentation strength.<br /><br /><br />5) Anti-conspiratorial. They almost always have disdain for 'conspiracy theorists' and, usually, for those who in any way believe JFK was not killed by LHO. Ask yourself why, if they hold such disdain for conspiracy theorists, do they focus on defending a single topic discussed in a NG focusing on conspiracies? One might think they would either be trying to make fools of everyone on every topic, or simply ignore the group they hold in such disdain. Or, one might more rightly conclude they have an ulterior motive for their actions in going out of their way to focus as they do.<br /><br /><br />6) Artificial Emotions. An odd kind of 'artificial' emotionalism and an unusually thick skin -- an ability to persevere and persist even in the face of overwhelming criticism and unacceptance. This likely stems from intelligence community training that, no matter how condemning the evidence, deny everything, and never become emotionally involved or reactive. The net result for a disinfo artist is that emotions can seem artificial. Most people, if responding in anger, for instance, will express their animosity throughout their rebuttal. But disinfo types usually have trouble maintaining the 'image' and are hot and cold with respect to pretended emotions and their usually more calm or unemotional communications style. It's just a job, and they often seem unable to 'act their role in character' as well in a communications medium as they might be able in a real face-to-face conversation/confrontation. You might have outright rage and indignation one moment, ho-hum the next, and more anger later -- an emotional yo-yo. With respect to being thick-skinned, no amount of criticism will deter them from doing their job, and they will generally continue their old disinfo patterns without any adjustments to criticisms of how obvious it is that they play that game -- where a more rational individual who truly cares what others think might seek to improve their communications style, substance, and so forth, or simply give up.<br /><br /><br />7) Inconsistent. There is also a tendency to make mistakes which betray their true self/motives. This may stem from not really knowing their topic, or it may be somewhat 'freudian', so to speak, in that perhaps they really root for the side of truth deep within. I have noted that often, they will simply cite contradictory information which neutralizes itself and the author. For instance, one such player claimed to be a Navy pilot, but blamed his poor communicating skills (spelling, grammar, incoherent style) on having only a grade-school education. I'm not aware of too many Navy pilots who don't have a college degree. Another claimed no knowledge of a particular topic/situation but later claimed first-hand knowledge of it.<br /><br /><br />8) BONUS TRAIT: Time Constant. Recently discovered, with respect to News Groups, is the response time factor. There are three ways this can be seen to work, especially when the government or other empowered player is involved in a cover up operation: 1) ANY NG posting by a targeted proponent for truth can result in an IMMEDIATE response. The government and other empowered players can afford to pay people to sit there and watch for an opportunity to do some damage. SINCE DISINFO IN A NG ONLY WORKS IF THE READER SEES IT - FAST RESPONSE IS CALLED FOR, or the visitor may be swayed towards truth. 2) When dealing in more direct ways with a disinformationalist, such as email, DELAY IS CALLED FOR - there will usually be a minimum of a 48-72 hour delay. This allows a sit-down team discussion on response strategy for best effect, and even enough time to 'get permission' or instruction from a formal chain of command. 3) In the NG example 1) above, it will often ALSO be seen that bigger guns are drawn and fired after the same 48-72 hours delay - the team approach in play. This is especially true when the targeted truth seeker or their comments are considered more important with respect to potential to reveal truth. Thus, a serious truth sayer will be attacked twice for the same sin.<br /><br /><br /><br />I close with the first paragraph of the introduction to my unpublished book, Fatal Rebirth:<br /><br />Truth cannot live on a diet of secrets, withering within entangled lies. Freedom cannot live on a diet of lies, surrendering to the veil of oppression. The human spirit cannot live on a diet of oppression, becoming subservient in the end to the will of evil. God, as truth incarnate, will not long let stand a world devoted to such evil. Therefore, let us have the truth and freedom our spirits require... or let us die seeking these things, for without them, we shall surely and justly perish in an evil world.<img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090213161500im_/http://www.congregator.net/images/end.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />This information is published with permission of the author,<br />H.
