Manson-Bush: Stencil Harkro Collective

click to enlarge

Time for an art break.

Very nice stencil art from the ´Stencil Harko´ Collective, San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico.

Nazi-Bush? Manson-Bush? Marilyn-Bush? Or maybe Go To Hell, Gringos! would be a more appropriate title for this lovely piece of street art.

I was not able to locate a website for Stencil Harko, but they might be related to the Colectivo Zape, which does a similar type of political stencil art in Mexico.

Here´s another interesting site with some amazing stencil art, political or otherwise: The Stencil Archive.

Controlling The Human Mind by Dr. Nick Begich

Nich Begich, MD and Earthpulse Press have published what appears to be a fairly comprehensive new book on mind control, entitled: Controlling the Human Mind. The aforementioned linked page not only has a ´look inside this book´ pdf file, but an excellent archive of source materials used in the publication of the book, in pdf format as well.

Included in these pdf files is Mind Control: The Ultimate Brave New World, also by Dr. Begich, which I cited in a previous entry as arguably being the best mind control research paper available; along with John J. McMurtrey´s 2003 study Inner Voice, Target Tracking, and Behavioral Influence Technologies. The Mind Control: The Ultimate Brave New World paper appears to be the departure point for Begich´s new book, published in August of 2006.

The Brave New World document (also available from Nexus Magazine) cites an interesting section from Zbigniew Brzezinski´s book, Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era:

Gordon J. F. Macdonald, a geophysicist specializing in problems of warfare, has written that accurately timed, artificially excited strokes 'could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over certain regions of the earth... In this way, one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of very large populations in selected regions over an extended period...

Macdonald is, of course, speaking of a HAARP type system, which Dr. Begich has also written extensively about in the past. I would venture to guess, from some of the recent goings on in my personal life and in the rest of human controlled planet earth--especially the United States and controlled territories, which have become a sort of embodiment of the faux ´liberation´ contained in the Futurist Manifesto of Lust (1912) and in Huxley´s 1932 Brave New World--that this system is indeed operational.

Anyone who ventures into research of these topics and attempts to include them in mainstream public discourse might be doing so at considerable risk to their personal physical and mental health, as private corporations and the fascist governments that serve them target these individuals and possibly turn them into unwitting subjects of covert ´field testing´ for a wide assortment of insidious reasons. And, I would venture to guess, Dr. Begich is no exception to this type of harassment. He should be awarded a Noble Peace Prize for his ground breaking and brave work into these areas.

Search Function Now Available

A search function for this site is now available. The user has the option of either searching the world wide web or ce399.typepad.com.

Unfortunately, typepad allows for an embedded blog search via Google only, so I had to weigh the addition of this form of advertising to my site versus the added functionality of a blog search, which I think is ultimately a trade off worth making. Other site search ´widgets´ were available, but all were rather typical in their aesthetic dysfunctionality; in addition to being crass and incoherent, to say the least.

Whether you are a regular reader, occasional reader, or a researcher surfing in from Google or another search engine, I sincerely hope the addition of a search feature makes this archive a more valuable research experience.

ce399.typepad.com is fully indexed by Google (or at least I hope it is) and the search feature is located at the very bottom of this blog.

Here is a sample.

US Preparing Iraq for Iran War?

image: Shirin Neshat

I´m still working on the last half of MindWar:CivilWar. So, in the meanwhile, here are some news stories that have come off of the yahoo.com news ticker in the last forty-eight hours:

Iraq to Shut Borders with Iran, Syria

Iraq will shut its borders with Iran and Syria for 72 hours and extend the hours of a nightly curfew in Baghdad as part of a U.S.- backed plan to rein in unrelenting violence, an official said on Tuesday.

The new measures were announced during another day of violence in the Iraqi capital in which a suicide bomber blew up a truck rigged with explosives near a Baghdad college, killing 18 people just a day after bomb blasts ripped apart two crowded city markets.

The border closure moves are the clearest sign yet from the government of Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki that a crackdown against militants who are tearing Iraq apart was picking up.

Sadr leaves Iraq for Iran, U.S. says

The powerful Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr has left Iraq and has been living in Iran for the last several weeks, senior Bush administration officials say.

With fresh U.S. forces arriving in Baghdad as part of the White House plan to stabilize the capital, officials in Washington suggested Tuesday that Sadr might have fled from Iraq to avoid being captured or killed during the crackdown.

But officials also said that Sadr, who has family in Iran, had gone to Tehran in the past and that it was unclear why he had chosen to leave Iraq at this time. His departure from Iraq was first reported Tuesday night by ABC News.

MindWar:CivilWar

 
MindWar:CivilWar

This constitutes a sort of partial and incomplete follow up entry to MindWar Excerpts (Part One) and Social Network Diagrams and eHarassment.

There are many branches stemming out of this rotten and evil tree-- producing a most bitter and odious fruit--and it has proven quite a difficult challenge to diagram all of the links and connections emanating from this tree´s insidious roots.

Tom Cruise was in the news again recently, and every time there is a Cruise-Scientology related news story, I am, unfortunately, reminded of a Scientology initiation known as Operating Thetan III or OT III:

Scientology celebrities have gone psychotic during or after Scientology's bizarre practices and initiations. These celebrities include John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley and Mimi Rogers.

Tom Cruise became psychotic during a secret Scientology initiation in which one is told that rather than being one person, one is composed of thousands of aliens from all over the universe fighting for control of your body. After completing this initiation, known as OT III, Tom appeared sickly with black circles under his eyes and pasty skin. He said he wanted to be away from Scientology for good. He just wanted to go back to Hollywood and his home and be left alone by Scientology. This would not happen; David Miscavige ordered Cruise could not be let go. Scientology worked on Cruise day and night until he finally returned to Scientology.

Celebrities Go Psychotic or Neurotic

 

(The following link is to a .pdf file containing the oft-cited 1977 Washington Post article linking Scientology and CIA mind control operations. For more information see previous entry Le Fantôme de la Liberté (1974) and the Mind Control index, as well as the external links on the sidebar.)

MindWar and CivilWar have been on my ´mind´ a lot recently, not just in relationship to how,as Lieutenant Colonel Michael Aquino writes, (...with possibly a forked tongue...as Satanists have a tendency of doing...) the concepts of MindWar were applied to Iraqi soldiers during Operation Desert Storm, but also how these technologies are apparently still being utilized by the US military to possibly fuel the deadly Civil War currently spiraling out control in Iraq.

As Sharon Weinberger writes in the August 28, 2005 edition of the Washington Post:

Gibbs, the Marine Corps official who first funded Bitar, has a fondness for edgy ideas. A chemical engineer and longtime proponent of nonlethal weaponry, Gibbs funds other offbeat projects, such as Medusa, an attempt to develop a weapon that uses low-power microwaves -- believed to cause an audible buzzing in subjects' heads -- to make people think God is speaking to them. Another such weapon would use beams of energy to make people dizzy and lose their balance.

...

His latest is to use ultrasonic waves in the dazzler not to just blind enemies, but also to convey messages into their heads, similar to Gibbs's Medusa project. Hearing voices from God is a "big thing" in Arab culture, according to Bitar. "We flash-blind them. And, while their eyes are shut, you could send a recorded message or deep guttural voice that echoes in the inside of their head. They're looking around, 'Hey, did you hear that?'''

Civil War is a tremendously profitable cash cow and is a potentially endless source of revenue for a wide variety of shady and ethically debase ´businessmen.´  This has been proven, for example, by the thirty-six year Civil War that ravaged Guatemala between 1960-1996.

What Tom Cruise evidently experienced during his Operating Thetan III initiation is an equally exploitive and deadly Civil War--a potentially fabricated form of personal and internal Civil War and, again, an endless source of revenue for ´professionals´ across the medical spectrum: doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, the pharmaceutical industry, etc.

(Also see John J. McMurtrey´s papers: Microwave Bioeffect Congruence with Schizophrenia and Inner Voice, Target Tracking and Behavior Influence Technologies and Carole Smith´s On the Need for New Criteria of Diagnosis of Psychosis in the Light of Mind Invasive Technology.)

The conclusion I am arriving at is this: a program-- possibly initiated by the corporate state-- a very slow, remote, electronic, stealth, unverifiable, touch less and impossible to trace, yet extremely deadly, corrosive and debilitating liquidation program of unsuspecting ´undesirables.´

In its early years, the Third Reich had a similar, though rather technologically primitive, program it was called the T4 (or Aktion T4): Tiergartenstrasse 4 Euthanasia and Medical Killing Program.

The first mass-murder by the Nazis was organized from 1940 onwards on this spot, the Tiergartenstraße  4 and named "Aktion T4" after this address.

From 1939 to 1945 almost 200,000 helpless people were killed. Their lives were termed "unworthy of living",  their murder called "euthanasia". They died in the gas chambers of Grafeneck, Brandenburg, Hartheim,  Pirna, Bernburg and Hadamar, they died by execution squad, by planned hunger and poisoning.

The perpetrators were scholars, doctors, nurses, justice officials, the police and the health and workers’ administration. The victims were poor, desperate, rebellious or in need of help. They came from psychiatric clinics and childrens hospitals, from old age homes and welfare institutions, from military hospitals and internment camps.

Top-Flight Colleges in US Fail Civics

More proof positive that US democracy has been subverted from within by a small clique of two-bit corporate fascist thugs:

Seniors at UC Berkeley, the nation's premier public university, got an F in their basic knowledge of American history, government and politics in a new national survey, and students at Stanford University didn't do much better, getting a D. 

Out of 50 schools surveyed, Cal ranked 49th and Stanford 31st in how well they are increasing student knowledge about American history and civics between the freshman and senior years. And they're not alone among major universities in being fitted for a civics dunce cap.

Other poor performers in the study were Yale, Duke, Brown and Cornell universities. Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore was the tail-ender behind Cal, ranking 50th. The No. 1 ranking went to unpretentious Rhodes College in Memphis.

The study was conducted by the University of Connecticut's department of public policy and the nonprofit education organization Intercollegiate Studies Institute. Researchers sampled 14,000 students at 50 schools, large and small.

The aim was to determine how well the colleges are teaching their students the basics of government, politics and history  --  the bedrocks of good citizenship.

Beyond the rankings, the study found that across the board  --  from elite universities to less-selective colleges  --  the typical senior did poorly on the civics literacy exam, scoring below 70 percent. This would be a D or F on a basic test using a conventional grading scale.

That shows, the researchers said, that the students don't have  --  and the universities generally aren't teaching  --  the basic understanding of America's history and founding principles that they need to be good citizens.

It is a crisis, the report warns.

"It is at a point in history in this country where it has probably never been more important," said Eugene Hickok, a former U.S. deputy secretary of education and a member of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. "The study tells us we have a rising generation of bright, intelligent citizens that won't have the knowledge they need to be informed citizens. We are really only a generation or two away from a republic in pretty big trouble."

The study was conducted in 2005 by asking freshmen and seniors to answer 60 multiple-choice questions in the subject areas of American history, government, America and the world, and the market economy.

It then compared the averages from the two classes at each school to determine how much more seniors knew than freshmen  --  indicating how well the university was doing in increasing student knowledge.

The survey found that more than half of students could not correctly identify the century (the 17th) when the first American colony was established at Jamestown.

A majority of students also could not identify the Baath party as the main source of Saddam Hussein's political support in Iraq.

At UC Berkeley, the results showed freshmen knew more than soon-to-graduate seniors. Freshmen scored an average of 60.4, and seniors scored an average of 54.8. That earned Cal a failing grade, the researchers said.

At Stanford, freshmen scored an average of 62.2 percent, and seniors scored an average of 63.1 percent. The difference between the freshmen and seniors was minimal, which the study's authors say shows they are not being taught the content during college. 

In comparison, at Rhodes College, the freshman average was 50.6 percent and the senior average 62.2 percent. Even though the Rhodes seniors scored lower than Stanford's, the researchers concluded Rhodes was doing a better job because of the percentage of improvement shown.

"This is something that if the colleges and universities teach it, the students will learn," said Professor Christopher Barnes, director of project development for the University of Connecticut's department of public policy. 

Barnes said that one encouraging finding of the study was that knowledge of civics was closely tied to voting and community engagement. But that is also alarming, he said, if the nation's students do not learn more about history and politics.

History and political science leaders at UC Berkeley and Stanford took issue with the methodology of the study and its rankings but agreed that students weren't learning enough of the important basic historical and civics lessons.

"There may be real issues here about how universities should organize their curriculum, but there is a scandal-mongering aspect to the way this survey has been presented," said Professor David Hollinger, chairman of the UC Berkeley history department. "I would not assume that this is a credible survey without more scrutiny."

Still, he said, UC Berkeley  --  like most large universities  --  has relatively few requirements for undergraduates, even within the College of Letters and Science. He believes that should change.

"I do not doubt that Americans would be better off knowing more history than they do,'' Hollinger said. "And I do not doubt that Berkeley would be wise to consider requiring more history than it does."

The study found that civics learning was greater at colleges and universities that required students to take courses in American history, political science and economics. For example, seniors at the institutions ranked the highest for increase in knowledge  --  Rhodes College and Colorado State University  --  took an average of 4.2 history and political science courses, while seniors at the bottom two, UC Berkeley and Johns Hopkins, took an average of 2.9 such courses.

Professor Terry Moe, chairman of the political science department at Stanford, also questioned the study's methodology, saying that many factors can affect the outcomes, including the fact that many students at schools like Stanford specialize in areas such as science, engineering and math. In addition, he said, less-selective schools lose a lot of students after their freshmen year, leaving a pool of higher-quality students who make it through all four years and thus may score better than the more diverse pool of freshmen. 

But he said, it is true that Stanford focuses more on teaching theory and critical-thinking skills than facts. The teaching of facts and historical dates is considered "old-fashioned" in academe, he said.

"There is a basic knowledge that students should learn, and I think that universities don't think that way,'' he said. "My view is that they should."

Among the key recommendations in the report are that colleges and universities increase the number of required history, political science and economics courses, improve their assessments of what students are learning, and build academic centers on campus to encourage and support the "restoration" of teaching American history and civics.
