The World’s Biggest Applecart

April 30, 2012 in Finance, United States, World

What we believe determines what we say and what we do. Therefore, if we are to understand how we got to where we are as a society, we need to identify those beliefs. Then, if we want to change our society, we will need to change our beliefs.

This is why I have taken several days to talk about upsetting and resetting applecarts (belief systems). I know that evaluating belief systems is a critical part of conscious living. To me, it feels like spring cleaning for the soul.

Yesterday, I took a look at how my belief system concerning 9/11 has evolved over the years. This article continues that look.

I believe our perception of 9/11 will determine how we vote in the upcoming elections. It will determine whether we participate in the new financial system with resistance or acceptance.

In fact, I have observed that one’s perception of that day often determines a person’s entire world view.

Therefore, it is critical to understand what happened that day….

…and what didn’t happen.

This brings me back to Judy Wood’s work.

World Trade Center dustDr. Wood’s presentations of the information from 9/11 is methodical and thorough. (If you want to see them for yourself, search her name on YouTube. There are numerous videos of her presentations.) She points out that the twin towers transformed into powder. She shows videos of building parts changing to dust on the way to the ground. She shows images of automobiles that spontaneously caught fire that day, some of them on the opposite side of Manhattan.

This mystery of the buildings turning to powder is not unfamiliar to those who followed this story. This video from mainstream media contains numerous questions about what happened to the hundreds of thousands of tons of building materials that converted into powder before landing on the ground.

Judy’s presentation, using The Socratic Method, eliminates many of the initial ideas about 9/11. For example, if bombs, thermite, or fire had felled the towers, there would have been a pile of building materials left.

There wasn’t.

There was only powder and paper.

Even though Dr. Wood only presents information, she certainly has her critics. In fact, when I first mentioned her name on this website, a comment showed up, almost immediately, criticizing her work. This detractor pointed me to a discussion group where a heated debate was taking place over whether or not Judy’s conclusions were valid.

As I reviewed the discussion, I realized those people hadn’t read or listened to her work. Or, if they had, they didn’t understand it.

They were claiming Dr. Wood’s conclusions are unsupportable. However, Judy doesn’t draw conclusions. She asks questions, based on the evidence, to help the listener form his or her own opinions.

Other critics say the buildings could not have fallen the way she says they fell.

Dr. Wood’s response is to ask if the buildings are still there. After all, she is only observing what happened.

The more I studied the evidence presented by Dr. Wood, the more I came to realize that we don’t know exactly what caused the buildings to fall. Judy admits that she doesn’t know either. She just knows that, based on the evidence, it wasn’t fire, thermite, or bombs.

Therefore, it must be something else.

The exploration of this something else must take place if we are to understand the ramifications surrounding this pivotal point in our modern history.

I will continue this exploration tomorrow.

Resetting the Applecarts

April 29, 2012 in Finance, United States, World

An upset applecart isn’t the worst thing in the world, especially in my case. After all, I don’t literally have a cart full of apples. My applecarts are my beliefs; the things I thought were true.

When an individual has his or her beliefs upset, there are numerous ways to respond, just as there are numerous ways to respond when a real applecart is upset.

Reset applecartA person can complain, blame, seek revenge, and leave the apples splayed across the ground. Or, a person can pick up the cart and reload it. With the latter choice, this allows the individual to inspect the apples, throw out the bad, and keep the good.

This is true for belief systems too.

9/11 provides a good example.

In 2001, I was still relying on mainstream media for my news. Therefore, I believed the official story that the heat from jet fuel felled the towers. I believed that Al Qaeda was responsible. I believed the war on terror was necessary.

Then, I started to hear questions. Had fire ever taken down another high-rise building? Where did Al Qaeda receive its funding? Who benefited the most from the war on terror?

The answers upset my beliefs about the media.

Fire had never caused another high-rise building to fall. There was no evidence that fire was the cause for the falling of the towers. In fact, there was evidence that something else caused the building to disappear.

Al Qaeda was funded by the CIA. The organization had been initiated and sponsored by United States Government organizations.

Oil companies, banks, and military benefited the most from the war on terror. President Eisenhower had warned us to beware of the Military Industrial Complex. Now, I understood this warning.

In my search to uncover what removed the towers, I stumbled upon Judy Wood’s research. Last fall, when I read it for the first time, I couldn’t understand it. She referenced the possibility of energy sources that were unfamiliar to me.

More accurately, I didn’t believe they existed.

Then, I began to meet people who could explain them to me. Richard Hoagland showed up at our home for Thanksgiving. Over pie, I listened to him debate a scientist from a local federal laboratory. I learned a lot.

I read books that introduced me to Nikola Tesla. I viewed videos that demonstrated remarkable technologies. My family and I witnessed a UFO fly overhead while we had dinner on our back patio.

These experiences upset my beliefs about science.

Then, I noticed that government and banking didn’t work the way I believed they worked. I saw injustices and police state actions that violated the United States Constitution. I saw law enforcement seizing property without due process. I saw banks foreclosing on homes illegally.

These observations upset my belief about government and finance.

My response has been to attempt to reconcile my recent upsets to my belief systems caused by those answer, experiences, and observations; to attempt to reset my applecarts.

I have a friend who says this is a problem with mankind. We won’t allow chaos to exist. We must have an explanation for everything. Therefore, we create order out of chaos. Often, this leads us to develop intricate theories to explain the unexplainable.

This may be true. However, I don’t yet believe that.

I believe there is a Divine order to things. I say this because the evidence I see around me in nature demonstrates this divine order. I wrote about this in November.

Today, I believe this more than ever because, in my efforts to reset my applecarts, I have found apples I didn’t know existed. These new beliefs have opened my mind to new possibilities.

These new possibilities provide hope of a better world and a grander future. I would not have found these new possibilities if my applecarts hadn’t been upset. Therefore, I am grateful for those upsets and for the opportunity to create order out of chaos.

I’ll continue these thoughts during tomorrow’s article.

More Upset Applecarts

April 28, 2012 in United States, World

Upset ApplecartNow that my applecarts are upset, it is difficult to know what is true and what isn’t.

This morning, like yesterday morning, I was rolled out of bed, almost literally, at 5 a.m. by a sonic boom. At least I knew to expect it – thanks to a post from a local radio station.

The White Sands Missile Range spokesperson said the F-16 was flying at about Mach 4 speed, at fifty thousand feet, on the way to launch a supersonic target (a missile?).

This raises questions.

All the online sources I found said the top speed of that plane is Mach 2.5. Can an F-16 now fly faster than its maximum speed? Is this new technology or did the spokesperson misspeak?

If the target is a missile, and I assume it is because I don’t know of anything else an F-16 can launch, what are the staff down at White Sands using in an attempt to shoot down that target?

Furthermore, is the target emulating intercontinental missiles or alien weaponry or something else?

Again, we are left to consider what is true and what isn’t.

Here is another example.

Were the protests in Ecuador an uprising of the general population or is some powerful influence practicing the exploitation of what my friend calls “useful idiots?”

“Useful idiots” are impassioned people used by a powerful person to accomplish the powerful person’s agenda, which is often the direct opposite of the impassioned people’s agenda. For example, my friend thinks the Occupy Wall Street movement is funded by George Soros, who staffs the movement with useful idiots for his purposes.

What is really going on here?

When I read this story about Charles Taylor, I wonder if he really did what he was convicted of or if he was portrayed as a war lord and taken down because he wouldn’t cooperate with United States’ efforts to pillage his country and loot its resources.

I hadn’t followed the story so I did a little research. Sure enough, I found a story that indicated he worked with the CIA, although the relationship was unclear.

Is it possible that his conviction came because he quit working with them?

Then, there is Michael Ruppert. Ruppert is a former LAPD narcotics investigator who lost his job because he successfully traced the Los Angeles narcotics problem to drugs supplied by the CIA. He claims America’s war on drugs is really a way to use taxpayer dollars to develop a massive drug business.

He asserts this for two reasons.

First, he witnessed his ex-fiancé – who was a CIA agent – oversee the exchange of United States weapons for South American drugs in New Orleans. He reported this information to his superiors at LAPD and to friends who worked for federal government agencies. His information was ignored, the LAPD labeled him crazy, and unknown snipers shot at him.

Second, the war on drugs started in 1972 with a budget of 101 million dollars. Today, the budget is more than twenty billion dollars and there are more drugs, they are less expensive, and they are of better quality. The simplest workable explanation for this situation is that the war on drugs is a façade for building a massive government drug business.

In the midst of considering what is true and what is untrue, I came across this 2007 story from the Idaho Observer. It ties Adolph Hitler to Nikola Tesla to Curious George to George Bush.

It sounds too bazaar to be true. Or does it?

It is difficult to tell when applecarts are upset.

As I was about to finish this story, I decided to see if I could find any additional info on The Story That Won’t Go Away. Sure enough, Scott from The Hyper Report had this to say on today’s report.

I am just thinking here folks; however, I wonder with all of the hoopla about all of the scandals of the Secret Service… Is it possible that Obama, and others, are orchestrating this scandal to replace Secret Service members, who are bound to the U.S. Constitution, with an elite TSA like goon squad?

That’s another angle to consider.

Now that my applecarts are upset, I find myself questioning everything. I believe this is healthy. In fact, it is the first step to returning the applecarts to upright position.

I’ll write about that process tomorrow.

Upsetting My Applecarts

April 27, 2012 in United States, World

I experienced a wave of energy from an external source at five o’clock this morning. I heard it and felt it. The windows shook. It upset my dreamland applecart.

I figured it was a sonic boom.

My online research confirmed my guess. Local media had advance warning of it.

If you hear a loud boom early Friday morning it’s only a supersonic target launched from 50,000 feet about 30 miles south of Albuquerque breaking the sound barrier as it speeds toward an impact zone at White Sands Missile Range. It’s part of a Navy test for an airborne early warning and control system and should happen between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m.

I read the snippet of info several times because it was the only online mention I could find about this early morning explosion. It was so cryptic that it didn’t really tell me what it was.

As I wrote about the first one, I experienced it again. Like the first one, it was followed by what sounded like the sound of a passenger jet flying overhead. My wife and I went outside to see what we could see.

It looked like an “abnormal airplane” and produced a contrail going north to south.

I came back and read the media description again and realized that the only detail that may have been accurate was the 50,000 feet. I live about ten miles east of Albuquerque. The flight path and the resulting contrail were directly overhead. Obviously, whatever it was originated this part of its flight from northeast of Albuquerque.

I still have no idea what the Navy was really testing and why it had to be done so early in the morning. However, it capped a week that has left my head spinning and, as of this morning, my ears roaring.

Upset ApplecartIt has also upset a lot of my applecarts.

It seems that everywhere I turn; I’m learning that much of what I thought to be true isn’t.

Over the past few weeks, I have read several of John Perkins’ books. Perkins worked as an Economic Hit Man. His insights and experiences provide a solid foundation for understanding how United States corporations have, with the assistance of the United States military, pillaged the natural resources of other countries.

I once thought the United States was the world’s leader in freedom. I thought this nation stood for democracy and individual freedom. Now, I realize that my thoughts had been carefully programmed through my education and the media. The reality is that America hides behind those ideas of freedom while pilfering other countries. This upsets one of my applecarts.

Earlier this week, I listened to a presentation by Judy Wood. Dr. Wood has undergraduate degrees in Civil Engineering and Structural Engineering. She has a master degree in Engineering Mechanics (Applied Physics) and a PhD in Materials Engineering Science. She recently released her book Where Did the Towers Go? Evidence of Directed Free-energy Technology on 9/11.

I am several years past believing that an airplane fuel fire felled the towers. The best explanation I had heard was thermite or bombs. Wood’s work upsets those applecarts by providing volumes of evidence that the World Trade Center Towers were “dustified.”

She doesn’t have evidence that shows who did it and how it was done. However, she does provide enough data to eliminate airplane fuel, thermite, and bombs as possible sources for the destruction of the buildings on that September day in 2001.

Dr. Wood has filed lawsuits in an attempt to present her evidence in a legal environment. However, no judge will give the evidence hearing. It seems that no one is willing to be the next potential target of this “dustification” technology.

If that wasn’t enough, the other pieces of information I encountered this week shook my belief system even more and turned over several other personal applecarts. I’ll write about those in tomorrow’s article.
