David Rauschenbach ("Leader by default")

A number of respectable men have recently pondered the fascist takeover of America, and have wondered where it is all headed. These men include Peter Schiff, Doug Casey, Glenn Beck, William Buckler, and numerous other personal sources of an intelligent and thoughtful nature. 

WHY did this happen? My opinion is that things are just as they must be. All cycles have a period, and the height of any peak merely forecasts the depth of a coming trough. Just as nature is said to despise a vacuum, so do all other natural laws conspire to restore imbalances (physics, gravity, karma, etc), where balance is temporarily lost.

Now the interesting part of the discussion is HOW and WHEN such balances are restored, because in this life, therein lies our opportunities. It is an interesting subject, and certainly worth pondering.

What Goes Around, Comes Around

Here are the issues, as I see them:

• Once free markets are lost, we can agree that balance will not be restored by the corrupt, rigged, and managed markets, nor by their managers or legislators.
• Once voter representation is lost, and once a dynasty's representative can lose at the polls twice and take office anyways, we can agree that balance will not be restored at the voting booths. Likewise, if Ron Paul can be #1 on the internet (with the people) and be marginalized anyways (by the political machine), what hope can Peter Schiff have in a run for senate, while running on a platform of restoration? Well, it will not hurt to try. Some people are born to fight the good fight.
• Once violence erupts, out of frustration of it all, we can agree that balance will not be restored through the violence, because that is merely the status quo position, which is about as intelligent and counter-productive as a “war on terror”, which produces terrorists rather than overcoming them. Most intelligent people know by now that evil merely begets more evil.
• Once fiat currencies are introduced, we can agree that the tax addicts of the world will not check themselves into rehab; nor will their partners in central banking willingly give up the mother of all golden geese, any more than a cocaine addict could walk past a white line while converting to Buddhism.
• Once the majority of gold is concentrated into strong hands, we should agree that balance will not be restored by switching back over to the barbarous relic, which indeed, has been hoarded and concentrated into strong hands by the most barbarous of acts spanning several thousand years. Such an act would be an act of surrender, in effect, just as a serf with nothing might surrender to a feudal lord whose private armies and cartels are backed by famed vaults of ill-gotten gain. In other words, if it happens, the status quo is preserved, and although the furniture might appear rearranged, it will be of little consequence to anyone but a few happy speculators who have placed bets on the monetary metals in the course of their ongoing attempts to get ahead of the masses.
• And finally, once moral bankruptcy sets into a people, after decades of being dumbed-down to a child-like state, we can agree that reversion to a stable historical point in society is impossible, because that foundation has been destroyed, and therefore, the only solution is to move forward.

Technology as a Historical Playing Field Leveler

One of the more interesting thinkers within my circle of influence is Doug Casey, who recently pondered the historical role of technology in this matter:

“If the last major change in social structure was catalyzed by the printing press, it’s pretty easy to see how the Internet serves that function today. But what will facilitate it, the way gunpowder did? My bet is on some type of nanotechnology.

I’ve long been a fan of nanotech as a world changer. I believe Chap. 35 of CI’90s is still the best short presentation of where it’s going to take us. Technology has always been the friend of freedom and the common man. Sure, the powers of suppression usually get first access to it and always try to monopolize it and use it to keep the “masses” under control, but in the end the cat always gets out of the bag. Even though the state is using an intimidating variety of technologies to keep its subjects under control, technology is evolving much faster and spreading much more broadly, to the benefit of people in general. The end of the state will be precipitated by the Nanotech Revolution. In the years to come, nanotech will, in many ways, be an analog of gunpowder. But thousands of times more potent.

It will do a number of things to totally overturn the current world social order. It will, among many other things, show that (at a minimum) the state no longer serves a useful purpose.”

— Doug Casey — End of the Nation-State

Well, Doug, it is not often that you acknowledge the powers of suppression, but I have to confess that I agree completely, and maybe on a deeper level than you intended. I am also hearing similar reports from all over, to the effect that nanotech stands to overthrow the current order. Take one of the most obscure spiritual circles in Russia, whom I call “Anastasia & Friends”, who forecast that someone very soon will achieve control over microbes, and that the most practical application for such tech is the expedient disassembly of the nation-states, starting with their damned nukes!

Now if the physical world was all that there is, then maybe this would be the end of the story. However, from my vantage point, this is not even close to what is going to play out. This can of worms is a lot bigger and messier than some imagine.

The Unknown Knowable

If we have learned anything from Star Trek and science fiction in general, it is that man can achieve whatever he sets his mind to. A scary thought, for sure! Nevertheless, Leonard Nimoy has been seen using a mobile phone. According to the bible, this capacity of mankind was enough to drive the gods (plural) to confuse our language, and was intended to set us all back a few thousand years, lest we corrupt the heavens.

Now that the international scientific community has gone English, and the internet is fully on-line for collaboration and dissemination, Japan has announced carbon fibre nanotubes that they intend to use on a new space elevator within 20 years. This Neo Tower of Babel calls to attention some old and foreboding patterns which warn that something wicked this way comes.

The Collapse of Classical Science

On the one hand, we are witnessing an explosion of information the likes of which the modern world has never seen. And on the other hand, what I hear coming from all fields of classical science is that in each respective field, a complete breakdown is occurring. Each field, it appears, is built on a pyramid of assumptions, which are in turn built on an even shakier foundation of incomplete assumptions. As the whole structure begins to teeter, scientists are either turning a blind eye, or are left staring into the brink.

A particle physicist looks inside a molecule, to find sub-atomic particles, and then evidence of even smaller theoretical particles, and ultimately, finds only empty space, leaving him with nothing but his theories. Paul Dirac writes:

“There are, at present, fundamental problems in theoretical physics the solution of which will presumably require a more drastic revision of our fundamental concepts than any that have gone before. Quite likely, these changes will be so great that it will be beyond the power of human intelligence to get the necessary new ideas by direct attempts to formulate the experimental data in mathematical terms. The theoretical worker in the future will, therefore, have to proceed in a more direct way.”

A chemist achieves the top of their game, and cannot even explain room temperature transmutations, such as a chicken pooping more calcium than it eats. That science, shunned by acadamia, is left up to fringe researchers, who presume that chickens produce calcium by transmuting silicon; or, Si₂₈+C₁₂→Ca₄₀. See the ground-breaking book, Biological Transmutations (Kervran, 1966), which quotes: "... biological transmutations just is. The phenomenon cannot be explained by normal physics or chemistry." And, according to this text, in regards to the production of calcium from organic silica, "the phenomenon was generally known in antiquity." In other words, midieval alchemists knew more about some subjects than the modern institutions of chemistry and physics! The book goes on to explain a half-dozen transmutations that appear be taking place, when observing the net yields of various systems (involving potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine, magnesium, and iron). New systems theories are only now able to start tackling such complex problems, that appear to have been solved long ago using the more ancient methodologies. Why am I not surprised? It certainly explains the resurgence of "alchemy" in book titles lately, as the pendulum swings back.

Classical science, true to its blind eye, continues to avoid some of the most pressing data, including spontaneous healings, telekinesis, shared dreams, dreams of the future, and "the UFO problem". There are literally thousands of credible experiments and first-hand eyewitness accounts that fail to attract a proper human response, namely: curiosity, followed by scientific scrutiny. Signs of a dark ages for sure. Or, even worse, signs of possible tampering and group hypnosis. A cynic need only say "conspiracy" in public, and observe the conditioned response.

The spiritual realm has had a long history of being obfuscated by the major world religions, which cover up the power of their true origins, just as the Bible and Qur'an stop shy of teaching Reiki, or the rules for fasting. In the same vein, recent mass departures from the major religons have been co-opted by counter-intelligent new age distractions, which aim to replace powerful knowledge and process with powerless ritual and feeling.

What is totally clear to me is that the haze is lifting, and that the spiritual dark age is coming to an end. It is signaled both by record levels of social interest and practical application, as well as record-level spikes in the signal-to-noise ratio in spiritual research.

The Elephant in the Room 

Take one interesting subset of this diverse field of science, referred to as the UFO problem. Jacques Valley writes:

“I propose that there is a spiritual control system for human consciousness and those paranormal phenomena like UFOs are one of its manifestations. I cannot tell whether this control is natural and spontaneous; whether it is explainable in terms of genetics, or social psychology, or of ordinary phenomena - or if it is artificial in nature, under the power of some superhuman will. It may be entirely determined by laws that we have not yet discovered.

I am led to this idea by the fact that, in every instance of the UFO phenomenon I have been able to study in depth, I have found as many rational elements as absurd ones, as many that I could call friendly as I could call hostile. This is what tells me that we are working on the wrong level. And so are all the believers, and this definitely includes the skeptics, because they believe they can explain the facts as strongly as the most enthusiastic convert to Ms. Dixon's vision of Jupiterian Amazons!

There are ways to gain access to the reference level of every control system. Even a child, if smart or daring enough, can climb on a chair, change the dial of a thermostat, and elicit a response. (The response in question might be a sound spanking from his father, of course. The road to higher knowledge has such accidents.) It must be possible to gain access to the control system of the UFO phenomenon, to forget the spirits and the pranks and the claims of extraterrestrial contact, and do some real science. But it will take a very smart approach - and a very daring one.”

Rational thought once turned to the physical sciences, just as farmers once turned to monoculture farming. We can generally agree that monoculture has turned out to be a disaster, resulting in monoculture pest problems, which begat pesticides, a poisoned food supply, an epidemic level of cancer, and desertification of the soil. Likewise, the study and application of any other field of science in isolation faces similar perils. Just as monoculture farmers, and their chemical and seed partners, are being dragged (kicking and screaming) to face reality, monoculture science will have to face the growing body of evidence that the physical world is only half or less of all that stares us in the face!

The study of the spiritual realm is as hard a science as physics, biology, and chemistry. Those are fields, among others, that are confessing a break-down of assumptions due to the absence of significant contributing factors. (In this context, the spiritual realm should not be confused with religion, which a cynic might label as the monetization of the spiritual realm; or, the study of the spiritual realm, adjusted for political purposes!)

Modern Spiritual Tech

If the physical world was all there is, then the fascist cycle (war, use of nukes, torture, domestic camps, currency transition, etc), combined with a game changer such as nanotech, is a pretty huge deal in its own right. However staggering that picture is, taking the spiritual realm into account gives rise to the composite potential of the coming wave.

Reiki went mainstream in 1933, after being stewarded by secret societies and esoteric religious adepts for thousands of years. This process was taught and practiced by Jesus and his twelve disciples, as well as by old testament practitioners such as Elisha and Isaiah. My household has personal experience with Korean yoga teachers who perform Reiki, demonstrating the ability to conduct energy into their hands by using thought alone, which produces a measurable byproduct of heat. It is science fact, as far as we are concerned, and has nothing to do with faith, religion, or belief in anything. Church monopolies aside, and potential future witch trials aside, this cat seems safely out of the bag. Christians will be the last to hear about it.

There are credible accounts of yogi masters permanently de-materializing right in front of their students. The New Testament has claimed a monopoly on such activity for over 1,800 years, which now seems far removed from the whole truth.

There are numerous mainstream news accounts of African and Indonesian priests as having weaponized spiritual tech. And likewise, it is increasingly coming to light that the US Government has made it a priority to perform R&D and counter-intel in this area, from WW2 to the present. Imagine what it means to a nation-state government when a shaman can enter any government facility, and read any file from any filing cabinet or mind, all without ever leaving his body. Imagine how many illusory functions of the nation-state it renders obsolete. Or imagine the implications of shared dreams.

All those human spiritual endeavors pale when compared with the UFO problem. While humans merely scratch the surface of a new world, it is looking more and more doubtful that the new world is undiscovered country. In fact, all indications are to the contrary. When has it ever been otherwise?

The world's religions may have been unwittingly facilitating distractions through hypnosis and cover-ups, and that is the culpability which threatens their very existence. The implications for the religious person are both staggering and paradigm-shattering. Where was God when man, in his ignorance, poisoned the air and rivers, slaughtered the bison, cut down most of America's forests and flushed 20' of topsoil into the sea, while killing off 100 million fellow human beings in a single century, and exterminating a few million species of lower order forms of life? I submit that “God was where God was” when all that happened, just as “God is where God is” when the same is done to us, as we discover that we are not top dog in all the ways that really count. Holocausts, abductions, messing with our language, and maybe even the programming of irrational behavior into our DNA, which causes us to carry out programs against our will (as a result of unnaturally exaggerated levels of sex, fear, and hunger drive, which has been a point of discussion since Paul of the bible mentioned it)... all of it, apparently, is allowed.

Conclusion

As the western world begins to wake from a bad dream, there are an abundance of indications that a shoe is about to drop, and that life will never be the same. The impending death of nation-states, peak oil, global currency collapse, and even comet cycles point to a myriad of potential social and physical earth changes that are big enough in isolation, and unimaginable in concert. Underlying all of this is the real game changer, which is the awakening of the spiritual mind, and the turning of the rational mind to the spiritual nature of things, where centuries worth of recorded data has been begging us to Look Out! Pay attention!

Understanding the spiritual nature of reality is mere science, the perfect and necessary complement to the study of the physical nature of reality. Likewise, manipulations in the spiritual realm are mere tech. It is completely set apart from belief, feelings, pointless ritual, summoning spirits, dead religions that cover up their true origins, and all other such counter-intelligent nonsense.

For better or worse, the spiritual nature of reality is a major facet of the world we live in. It would help explain female intuition ("all women are witches", as Paulo Coehlo fondly observes), why people dream the future, and maybe even gravity, which classical science has not been able to crack. It all makes modern times exciting indeed, as we witness the rebirth of what appears to be some very ancient knowledge. As Doug wrote:

“Technology has always been the friend of freedom and the common man. Sure, the powers of suppression usually get first access to it and always try to monopolize it and use it to keep the “masses” under control, but in the end the cat always gets out of the bag.”

And that is why nanotech, for all its potential, is looking to me like the proverbial flea on the elephant in the room.
