coal, nuclear
and other dangerous and dirty technologies,
and to claim there's no better, cheaper alternatives?
It was my beloved wife and creative partner Kimberly,
who kept bringing me back to the human implications of my scientific research.
For me, as intrigueing as the torus and ETs and free energy are,
the most compelling question was:
Would understanding these things really help alleviate human suffering in any way?
And it turnes out, it can!
So much of the pain on the planet has to do with the lack of access to energy.
Can you stay warm?
Can you get food and water?
Can you get hospital care?
All that has to do with energy access.
If there is a fundamental pattern
- which makes sense to me, that evolution would be efficient in that way
and we can align with that pattern to create new technologies,
that would solve these problems,
that it's worthy to me to open my mind
to these socially taboo subjects.
If the new energy technologies were to be set free worldwide,
it would be applicable everywhere.
These technologies are absolutely
the most important thing that's happened in the history of the world.
So given the stakes, I decided to ask:
Who's benefiting from suppressing scientific research?
Whose wealth and power are threatened by access to clean free energy?
Who has a motive to set up a world, where so few have so much
and so many have so little?
As an independent researcher, I followed one of the cardinal rules of investigative journalism:
If a story doesn't make sense, follow the money!
bFollowing the Money/b
insures, that energy corporations continue to reap phenomenal profits.
I see them commiting huge resources to undermine energy alternatives
and maintain high oil prices.
They have enough money and influence,
to suppress anything that might threaten the monopoly.
So who's behind the huge energy corporations?
The Rockefeller's oil empire got started in 1870,
when John D. Rockefeller founded Standard Oil
and became America's first billionaire.
Standard Oil has since morfed into Exxon Mobil and others.
And Rockefellers control our food as well!
They were primarly responsible
for the global shift to large-scale petroleum-based agriculture
I remember the so-called "green revolution" in the 60s and 70s.
Like most people, I thought it was a great thing.
It was however based on the planting of huge plots with a single crop,
using vast amounts of oil-based fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.
The Green Revolution was the brainchild of the Rockefeller Foundation's natural science division,
in partnership with large agricultural corporations.
Petroleum-based agriculture
provided vast new profits for the oil industry,
but never lived up to its promises
of ending hunger and promoting health.
The Green Revolution did at first increase productivity,
because every bit of soil was being used for immediate production,
but its true cost can now be seen.
Taxpayers pay billions in subsidies,
to giant agricultural corporations.
Small family farms have all but disappeared.
Biodiversity is destroyed,
toxic chemicals poison farmworkers and pollute the land,
water and our food supply,
endangering the health of us all,
as of 2010, aproximally one in every seven people worldwide
did not have enough to eat.
The giant corporations were brought us chemicals for chemical industrial agriculture.
And we were talking about three instruments to consolidate the food chain.
The first was genetic engineering as a way of control.
The second was patenting seed and patenting life as a way of control,
declaring seeds to be private property
treating the saving of seeds by farmers as a crime,
as a theft of intellectual property.
And the third was so-called free trade treaties,
that would drop ordinary people, farmers, growers off their freedom,
to save seed.
The design of "terminator" technology to create sterile seed
in order to impose even more dependence of humanity
on a handful of corporations, it would be ultimate step in this.
We are of what we are doing with seeds,
literally, for the first time
creating a new colonization, which I call the colonization of the future.
Who controls the food supply, controls the people;
who controls the energy, can control whole continents;
who controls the money, can control the world. Henry Kissinger, 1973
So in two srucial areas, energy and food,
same elite banking families and their corporations have taken control
and the consequences have been devastating.
For me it was overwhelming at first,
to discover such a monopoly of influence,
but I knew it was important,
like learning you have a tough, but treatable disease,
it helps to understand, what's causing it and how it operates, if the goal is to cure.
So I continued my investigation.
If oil and food are controlled by the big banking families
where else does their influence show up?
As I followed the money, I began to see the same pattern of control
in just about every area of our lives
and always found the same families in charge,
either directly through their banks and corporations,
or indirectly through their major foundations.
Again it was the Rockefellers, who created the National Education Association,
with help from the Carnegie Foundation and later from the Ford Foundation.
What the captains of industry wanted from our schools,
was an obedient and docile work force,
who would be manageable employees and eager consumers.
Schools are to establish fixed habits of response to Authority.
That's why it takes 12 years
for you to respond reflexibly,
when anyone in the position of authority, tells you what to do.
Like education, health is another area dominated by big money and corporations.
The American Medical Association, for example, is largely funded by the Rockefellers,
who use their funding to influence AMA research and decision making.
The average MD has four years of medical school,
takes one course in nutrition,
two and half hours in many cases
and these materials used - curriculum materials -
are supplied by the National Dairy Council
and the National Livestock and Meat Board
and other industries, including the Sugar Association,
with products to sell, that actually undermine our health in the first place
Unfortunately, the way the system of medicine is set up,
medical education is primarly funded by pharmaceutical companies,
so there's a motive to make and sell as many drugs as possible.
It is also a time effective way of making money
for the phycician, for the pharmaceutical company, for the whole medical establishment.
But it's really perpetuating the problems, it was ment to alleviate.
Side effects may include nausea, dry mouth and constipation.
Increases in white blood cells, which can be serious ...
Sexual side effects, diarrhea, nausea and sleepiness.
