Satanism: What’s that all about?

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | Jan 22, 2015
Satan If you are like me, you probably don’t know much about the practice of Satanism or why anyone would waste their time with such foolishness. Well, they waste their time because Satanism is nothing like what I thought it was. After watching the short interview below with a real live ex-Satanist (Mark Passio), a very different picture starts to emerge; especially surrounding the 4 tenants of Satanism. What I found is that rather than worshiping a red horned beast with a pointy tail, they are basically materialist psychopaths using what they call hidden knowledge against us while keeping us ignorant of their tricks. Sounds a lot like our current batch of Globalists. Lots of good, useful data here. Reminds me of Howard in Joesph Plummer’s novel entitled ‘Leaving the Illusion‘, where there is a debate raging between Howard –the elite globalist– and Alex, an average guy standing up for individual rights and freedoms. Probably some good research material here that might tie these 4 tenants of Satanism directly to the operational methods of the NWO and the Globalists. Very interesting, indeed.

Patterns of Life

Watching the video below provides more than entertainment. If you notice the repeating patterns, you suddenly realize there is a lot of information in the ‘Pendulum Wave pattern’ whose analogue can be found in natural cycles, rhythms, Feng shui, golden ratios, mathematics, karma, yin yang and the circle of life … we can see the same patterns repeating themselves at the quantum, classical and relativistic levels; and yes, even within our own lives: emotionally, intellectually, culturally, politically and geopolitically. There are built-in, ontological structures to all that we can see, feel and experience on every scale, underscoring what Horatio said to Hamlet so many years ago “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

The Helix Nebula (NGC 7293) is a large planetary nebula located in the constellation Aquarius. The Helix Nebula’s estimated distance from earth is about 215 parsecs or 700 light-years. The Nebula has sometimes been referred to as the “Eye of God” in pop culture because of it’s eye like appearance. It was the first planetary nebula discovered to contain cometary knots, which can be seen as globs with tails around the center of the “pupil”. Astronomers have sense discovered similar structures in other planetary nebulae and use the Helix Nebula as a base case for comparison. There are more than 20,000 cometary knots estimated to be in the Helix Nebula. These knots remain somewhat of a mystery to astronomers.

In Pursuit of Lady Truth

I apologize for not giving specific evidence here. My only excuse is that there were so many examples and that they happened so long ago, that I have forgotten the specifics. I should have written them down, but what remains is my impression and I’d like to take this opportunity to make a note of my observations as they are; so that others with the time and interest might observe some of the same biases and cover-ups that I observed in my early years as a math/philosophy major.

Now, I had been a student of philosophy from about age twelve onward. I lived in a dusty, dry West Texas desert with very little parental supervision. I went to school when I wanted and did what homework I wanted when I wanted. I had horses and rode almost every day from sun up to sun down and played, built forts & weapons, ate mesquite beans, cactus, rattle snakes and would drink a beer now and then. I broke horses and rode bulls for fun. I painted, composed and played music and wrote poetry and I wrote about philosophy and religion.

West Texas …

At age twelve, I was reading Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus and others whom I viewed as warriors for truth. I had never heard anyone speak with such fearlessness about life and reality like these existentialists and I found comfort with these fellows as they thought like me. I do not now pretend that I understood everything they had to say, yet they spoke a truth that I knew instinctively and I read as much as I could get my hands on and wrote my observations. This filtered into my poetry, my art and my music and into my adventures in the desert with my horse.

Despite reading existentialism and despite the fact that most were atheists, I never gave up my belief in God since my heart was touched by His magical fingers years earlier and left an indelible mark on my heart. It’s a feeling that I cannot describe.

But despite being raised a Christian and my personal experiences just mentioned, I toyed and played with being an agnostic or an atheist –in as much as I could– to sample the full spectrum of logic and of emotion as described by my many atheistic philosophy heroes. I pondered who am I, what am I, what is this thing I call self? I destroyed my religion and I built it back up. I pulled and twisted it and folded it, bent, spindled and mutilated it; and still it came back to an even more beautiful form than before, for it had been tested by fire and by doubt and was now stronger than before… because after all, I like the men above was a warrior for truth, willing to gore my own sacred ox for the pursuit thereof. I looked out into the vast existential abyss of meaninglessness and felt Satan’s hot breath on the nape of my neck as I peered into his dominion of fear. I gave up on fear that day for I had seen what I had come to see fearlessly and I looked back on Satan and shewed him away; and he left. I was as a giant held down by lint. I realized that I was held down by fear and that I had confronted fear and caused fear to flee.

So despite Nietzsche’s warning:

“He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.”

I did not become a monster nor did my new found wisdom require that I look long into the abyss.

So after this diversion into my childhood, I return now to my original point; that being of my observations of bias and cover-ups in philosophy at the University. What I observed are two things mainly: 1) that there was an inordinate volume of visceral critique aimed at Christendom. Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism were okay but that pesky old Christianity was a real bother to many philosophers and they spent extra time and care to discredit this foolishness called Christianity. Now, using the same criteria all other religions should likewise receive the same amount of attention, yet they didn’t. Why? Was this seen as a greater threat? And 2) as our great thinkers would approach a particularly difficult problem, they would suddenly develop a special language of words with special precise meanings in order to traverse this heretofore impenetrable brick wall and after some unnatural gymnastics, they would magically appear on the other side of the brick wall. Problem solved, or so they would have you believe. From this, I learned that man is mostly made up of ego and that it is very difficult to bring ego under the subjugation of hard, cold logic especially if you were a famous philosopher who has spent the better part of your life working out the details of your philosophy only to find that an unknown many of your assumptions were wrong, thus your entire philosophy was suspect. From this, I learned that many of my heroes were yes warriors for the truth, but they had failed an important test. They could not face the fact that their entire body of knowledge was based on unprovable assumptions and therefore they had accomplished nothing. Well, almost nothing… philosophy will bake no bread, but no bread will be baked without one. But the truth had evaded them. They did learn how to think and many earned a reputation, and a living at this exercise but they proved that they did not have a pure heart and were therefore sent a strong delusion which fed their ego, not their search for the truth. And then I recalled that Jesus said “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” I also recalled that God is love; God is truth and God is light. So I concluded that indeed they could have been blessed if they had a pure heart or a pure intent, for they would have indeed found the truth or found God.

Now, despite the thrashing above, I still love philosophy since philosophy after all is the art of wondering and life is art.

Another one of my heroes said it best …

“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

~Sir Isaac Newton

THE FABIAN SOCIETY

1 Reply

The Fabians were an elite group of intellectuals who formed a semi-secret society for the purpose of bringing socialism to the world. Whereas Communists wanted to establish socialism quickly through violence and revolution, the Fabians preferred to do it slowly through propaganda and legislation. The word socialism was not to be used. Instead, they would speak of benefits for the people such as welfare, medical care, higher wages, and better working conditions. In this way, they planned to accomplish their objective without bloodshed and even without serious opposition. They scorned the Communists, not because they disliked their goals, but because they disagreed with their methods. To emphasize the importance of gradualism, they adopted the turtle as the symbol of their movement. The three most prominent leaders in the early days were Sidney and Beatrice Webb and George Bernard Shaw. A stained-glass window in the Beatrice Webb House in Surrey, England is especially enlightening. Across the top appears the last line from Omar Khayyam:

Dear love, couldst thou and I with fate conspire
To grasp this sorry scheme of things entire,
Would we not shatter it to bits, and then
Remould it nearer to the heart’s desire!

Beneath the line Remould it nearer to the heart’s desire, the mural depicts Shaw and Webb striking the earth with hammers. Across the bottom, the masses kneel in worship of a stack of books advocating the theories of socialism. Thumbing his nose at the docile masses is H.G. Wells who, after quitting the Fabians, denounced them as “the new machiavellians.” The most revealing component, however, is the Fabian crest which appears Between Shaw and Webb. It is a wolf in sheep’s clothing! 1

1 Keynes often is portrayed as having been merely a liberal. But, for his lifelong involvement with Fabians and their work, see Rose Martin, Fabian Freeway; High “ad w Socialism in the U.S.A. (Boston: Western Islands, 1966).

Leaving the Illusion – Book Review

ClearNFO Rating: 5 / 5 Stars
Leaving the Illusion by Joseph Plummer
Paperback: 190 pages
Joseph Plummer’s first Novel
Available at Amazon and other book resellers

Joseph Plummer’s wonderful Novel called ‘Leaving the Illusion’ reveals the reality behind the illusion most of us can never see. Using a clever mechanism of a debate between a brilliant elite named ‘Howard’ (who has a hidden agenda) and ‘Alex’ (who is living the illusion), Howard brings Alex into a frightening but all too real understanding of the dominant class in the hope that he can teach and train Alex to willingly become one of the chosen few. The tools, techniques, sources and methods Howard reveals are spot-on and shows that Plummer has done his homework. Howard’s cold logic is the best argument I can imagine to promote the elite’s agenda. The debate that emerges between Howard and Alex is brilliant and reaches into the deep core set of beliefs and assumptions that most of us share. Great read. I also recommend Tragedy and Hope 101 by Plummer.

NOTE: I’ll be conducting an interview with Mr. Joseph Plummer in the near future. Stay tuned.

The Walled-Garden of History and Politics

Walled Garden

Now Rush Limbaugh is a brilliant political analyst, whom I have always admired; and Mark Levin –also known as the ‘Great one’—is a brilliant legal mind. Both of these gentlemen are great American patriots and very studied on the much agreed upon version of history promulgated by academia. The point I would like to make here, is that no matter how brilliant these two gentlemen and others in their league are, or how studied they are, they have unwittingly confined their studies to the domain of generally accepted facts which have been promulgated and funded by the very power structure they either cannot see or have chosen to ignore. This means that no matter how brilliant their analysis is, their conclusions are necessarily limited to rehashing generally accepted fact-claims of history which may or may not be correct. All logic –after all– has its origin in the fundamental assumptions upon which it is based; so, if the assumptions are in error or incomplete, the resultant conclusions must therefore, by necessity, be suspect or at a minimum deserve a fresh analysis based on new evidence grounded on source documentation, not on generally promulgated truth-claims originating from establishment-fed institutions including Academia.

The power of accepting these officially promulgated assumptions is that it places everyone who accepts these assumptions within the confines of a walled-garden in which debate can officially be conducted. There is money and fame to be found here and legitimacy by consensus. If you happen to go outside the walls that protect the garden, your reputation can be destroyed and thus you lose your certification to debate within the garden of acceptable discourse. Within the walled-garden, you can have spirited disagreements and you can have people who don’t know the facts (collective truth-claims) and you can have people who know the fact-claims inside and out and you can find people who press their own agendas despite the given fact-claims, but all discourse is necessarily limited to the garden provided, surrounded by the wall of permissible historical assumptions. And these are the rules of the game.

Now some of us doubt the validity of the assumptions, but up until recently had no access to evidence they were invalid. We did notice that that many things within the walled-garden did not make sense, so we suspected that there was more to learn. We could see the effects of those things out side of the garden, but could not see the things themselves; thus we had no direct proof and were therefore marginalized by the establishment. Now the source evidence we seek has been here for some time, but the access to the evidence has been difficult or impossible to discover by design. With the advent of the internet more access to more information has been forthcoming and many of us have stumbled upon the documented evidence outside the walled garden which shows the walls to be a farcical creation of the predominant power structures.

Many of us start out slowly. We discover that the Federal Reserves for example is not Federal and has no Reserves. We discover that the second Gulf of Tonkin incident never happened. And we discover many covert operations and illegal experimentations by our government which have never been well-publicized, yet we still do not have the complete picture. Are these all isolated events or is there more to this? Well, there is much more than just these isolated pieces and most of us will never understand the glue that binds until we avail ourselves the time to read Carroll Quigley’s book entitled ‘The Anglo-American Establishment’ where the source documentation is provided in irrefutable detail. Now Quigley is no outsider, he is an establishment historian with impeccable credentials who even agrees with the current template we have been provided by the predominant power structure that he calls the ‘Network’. Because of this, he was selected to document some of the history we never knew. He spent some 20 years working on this followed by two years of unlimited access to the archives at the CFR. And despite his painstaking documentation, yet even he was unwilling to disclose all he knew. But for the first time we are able to see that which casts its shadow into the wall-garden and that which created the walls we use to limit our understanding.

So as I watch Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin prattle about trying their hardest to understand and explain to their listeners why the Republicans are so ineffectual against the tyranny of the current president –despite huge public support– I look forward to the day when they finally see that their debate is limited by artificial walls which have been constructed by the ‘network’ that has been so clearly documented in Carroll Quigley’s books.

My college philosophy teacher was and probably still is an atheist, yet he was an amazingly brilliant teacher … one of my best. Despite his lack of faith or belief in things unseen or unproven by his deductive method, he was staunchly anti-abortion. He reasoned as did I that once you minimize or devalue life at one end of the spectrum (very young) what logically will prevent you from minimizing it at the other end (very old); and once so done, one’s foot is squarely placed on the proverbial slippery slope. And where does this slope lead? Well it leads to further adjustments at either or both ends. So if we have scarce resources—which we always do–the value of a person prior to being productive for society would be less than say a person of working age and likewise the value of an older person incapable of vigorous work would be less valuable. So at some point, this logic trip leads us to the conclusion of stratification of value based on age; such that a society would be more interested in investing and/or saving the life of someone between the age of 18 and 35 say. Outside this range, you are less valuable and therefore on your own or possibly a candidate for post-birth abortion. In fact this is already occurring. We have death panels with Obamacare and recent opinion polls on college campuses show a growing approval of post-birth abortion up to age five if it would save jobs. So there you have it. Ideas have power and they have consequences that on first blush you may not have even considered.

Is the U.S. a force for good or evil?

3 Replies

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | Sep 10, 2014

Why do so many find it so difficult to believe the documented evidence that the U.S. Government has become the greatest force for evil in the world today?

We all come to the ‘truth-table’ with different life experiences so when a set of claims are put on the table for consideration, our past experiences are brought forward to help us determine the validity or the plausibility of these fact-claims. If these statements are outliers or too far outside of our normal dataset of agreed-to facts, these statements become suspicious. So the question arises, should we give these new fact-claims additional consideration to attempt to validate or should we summarily toss them off the table as being irrational or unimportant?

Since all of us come to the table with limited life experiences, how can we broaden our scope of understanding?

As a child, my news was limited to ABC, CBS and NBC. Even as a child, it seemed suspicious that there was almost 100% agreement amongst these three networks in terms of what was selected as important topics and the particular interpretation of the fact-claims they presented. My only other source early on was from the history usually taught by the football coach in public state-run schools. My recollection was that the history was dry, boring and supported a singular point of view; that being that the USA was good and did good things even if they didn’t always turn out good, America’s heart was good.

At about the age of 12, I had access to the local college library and here I sought other view points from the CFR publication entitled ‘Foreign Affairs’, ‘Scientific American’, ‘Newsweek’, ‘Wall Street Journal’, ‘Psychology Today’ and others. I absorbed all the data I could; still not realizing the context of this data, or who paid to have this data published or why. One day I ventured over into the philosophy section where I began my long quest for a deeper understanding of self. My first few books were all on Existentialism by Kierkegaard, Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche and Sartre. I thought, how refreshing that these existentialists were willing to go outside the bounds of societies’ normative considerations of what is allowable to discover a deeper truth. I saw these fellows as warriors for truth who were willing to gore their most sacred belief assumptions in the search for perfect truth. They all seemed willing to go where their logic would take them no matter how scary or disruptive to long-held beliefs; and without fear of harsh judgments from others.

As I matured, I started to learn not just data and collections of fact-claims, I started to learn context. I also learned the importance of finding the source of the data since much of what I had been taught was not ‘source-data’ but data about data in other words I was learning expert’s opinions about what they wanted me to know. This was not satisfactory, since I discovered that everyone seemed to have an opinion or an agenda; and so would justify their assumptions and opinions with the facts that they discovered and collected and then present these opinions as fact. I found many examples of incorrect data. After studying psychology in the University and in periodicals, I had the occasion of reading Sigmund Freud’s actual lab notes and discovered that I had been completely misled about Freud. About this time, I discovered that my bank –whom I had always trusted– misled me about the interest rate on my first car loan. They told me that it was 6.25% but in fact it was well over 11% APR. They were able to get away with this deception by calculating the interest rate using a different formula; still it was a deception. I learned upstairs at the bank’s commercial department they only quoted APR since they assumed that businessmen wouldn’t fall for this cheap trick. This trick was reserved for the consumer installment loans and the ignorant like me. I learned that my government had lied to an entire generation about the ‘Gulf of Tonkin Incident’ in Vietnam which cost the lives of 58,209 young men in the war in Vietnam. Though I was too young to be drafted, many of these people were my friends.

I learned that the details of the assassination of president JFK were kept hidden from the public. I always asked why our government would classify this information unless they had something to hide. I learned in 1999 about a court decision that U.S. “Government Agencies” were Found Guilty in Martin Luther King’s Assassination.

After building this short dossier on our government and on authorities in other areas, I developed a healthy skepticism about what was generally accepted fact. I renamed facts in my brain as ‘fact-claims’ to remind me that a fact-claim is not necessarily a fact.

After studying the Federal Reserve, I learned that my public schooling had deceived me about the origin and purpose of the private cabal of bankers who deceptively took control the US Economy in 1913. After studying the attacks on the City of Oklahoma, I discovered that our government had deceived me and the nation. After studying the attacks on 9/11, I discovered that my government’s account of this national tragedy was an impossible fairytale.

I knew that I was being lied to by the U.S. Government, but I did not understand why until I took the time to read the real history of the ‘Anglo-American Establishment’ by Professor Carroll Quigley who himself was an insider. This was my first understanding of what was really going on and why. This book and others would tie all these lies and deceptions together into a believable narrative which showed actual methods, names dates, etc. and revealed the names of the true power brokers who most people have never ever heard of; and certainly none of these people were ever mentioned in the news or in our history classes.

I then read Zbigniew Brzezinski’s ‘The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives’ and amazingly I possessed the magical power to predict geopolitical skirmishes around the globe since they fit within the template outlined in this book. While the public was lied to and deceived, I knew what was going on behind the scenes and suddenly it all started to make sense. Real politics and the resultant wars are just a grand chess game to the powers that shouldn’t be …

So, if you’d like to begin your journey to discover the truth of history, banking, geopolitics and who the men are behind the curtain, I can recommend other important books –listed below– that will provide clarity about where we are today and where the predominant power structure seeks to lead all of us.
