The Sociological View

A sense of perspective and proportion are necessary when considering the direction of a nation. An absolutely wonderful and educational article about the times in which we find ourselves:

When Change is Not Enough:

Seven Steps to Revolution

If history is any indication, we may be on the road to violent revolution. We got here because of the conservatives' war against liberal government.

"Those who make peaceful evolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable." -- John F. Kennedy

There's one thing for sure: 2008 isn't anything like politics as usual...

My history of investigation into mind control.

MKULTRA, NASA, the CIA, Psychological Warfare, Media Analysis, Alien Contact...

A lot of what you will read here is about my two decades as an investigator into mind control. The only way in was to become a victim, but in the shady world of MKULTRA there is ordinarily only one way out.

All those years ago I began as a private investigator for congress on a mission to learn what I could about MKULTRA.Thoughit was banned by congress in the 70's, it was still operational, and by 1987 had become much more powerful than anyone had dreamed possible.

What I discovered was that MKULTRA was, more than anything else, about the richest and most powerful people on the planet.

By all rights I should have been dead long ago. But I had lots of insurance. So here I am to tell the tale.

Welcome to the light at the other end of the rabbit hole. And if you're into hard realities... enjoy.

Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar
