Vatic Note: I just found this by accident and was so impressed with it that I have put it up out of sequence, since I have to dig to find part 1 and I did not want to hold this part up until I found it. As you all know, all these blogs are now coming from a source outside of my home since the powers that be have completely censored me now.
I am going to fight it like crazy, since FREEDOM OF SPEECH is at the heart of our republic, and has been for over 200 years and I do not intend to let it go without a good fight, and this below is just one example of "why". When you read it, you will see why the elite satanists do not want this up nor any other exposing articles and I can always tell by the way they treat them when its on my machine.
Jim Stone is going through the same thing right now, as are other bloggers. Its how they intend to censor without cutting off their surveillance of us on the net. The previous blog we did on the satellites being deployed is also another I expect to get attacked, but I am not doing it from my home, so they are you "know what" out of luck.
This is great and I will try to put up my observations later, since I have to meet my computer person in a short while, so will get back to it as soon as I can. Thanks for all your patience. We sold a necklace this week so we have made our goal for the month. Thank goodness, since things are heating up and we are causing great consternation, it was going to be a bad time to have to quit. Thank you, all that contributed and helped us to stay up on the net. God bless you all and have a freedom filled happy New Year. I intend to have one, so please join me. lol
My first reaction is this was written from a leftest perspective, but he is not necessarily wrong. What he is calling "capitalism" is not what the real definition of it is. Remember, these khazar zionists were the creators of Communism, and yet, they managed to garner control over most international corporations in energy, military industrial complex, food,
The ‘war on terror’ isn’t real, but the illusion is: False flags - part 2

In The Truman Show, Truman discovers that an illusion is the only reality he has ever known.
This is part 2 of Barrie Zwicker’s exclusive Truth and Shadows series False flags. The next installment, part 3, will be called The Unlucky Seven.
Part 2: Maximum Illusion Time
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that
they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and
one by one". Charles MacKay in the1852 preface [1] to his book
Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds
Where madness is concerned there’s always been a contagion effect, as
Charles MacKay suggested in 1852. But in recent times, global power
elites have increasingly been able to inject herds with particular
madnesses.
The predominant one of these is the
“war on terror.” [2
]
In a sane world a question widely and repeatedly posed would be
whether there is such a phenomenon as the “war on terror”
as presented (for instance in newspaper headlines, TV news, speeches by “leaders,” most books on the subject and by almost everyone we encounter at home, school and work).
We who are skeptics can answer that question with a resounding “No!”
We also know that the answer of most people – “Yes, of course” –
represents a windmill that we must, like Don Quixote, continue to joust
with.
(VN: I don't believe the key issue is whether or not there is a war on terror, rather WHO IS DOING IT? Is it the Muslims or Dept of Homeland Security, in concert with Mossad, CIA, FBI, Pentagon and the White House and parts of Congress run by a foreign country as represented by AIPAC in DC. Yes, I believe that is the real question.)
The “war on terror,” which should never be allowed to go out alone
without its quotes on, is essentially a mass delusion. In case this
offends anyone I downgrade it here to an illusion. Because the trouble
isn’t essentially within the brains of the herd members. The trouble is
what the herd is being fed. Call it mad crowd disease.
This “war” is integrated with other mutually supportive, artificially created forms of madness.
Just one of these is “market fundamentalism.” That’s the
quasi-religious belief that global monopoly capitalism not only is
benign, not only is the best socio-economic system ever devised, but
also is one “to which there is no alternative.” (“Democratic
capitalism,” by the way, is not an “alternative.” It is an oxymoron.)
[3]
The bogus “war on terror” along with largely market-created economic
uncertainty, rapid technological change, [4] environmental destruction
and more, comprise important components of the human condition today.
For multitudes this concoction is a source of debilitating free-floating
anxiety. (As opposed to
facilitating anxiety, which is beneficial [5]) punctuated with dollops of often or usually unjustified deer-in-the-headlights fear.
An
essay entitled Age in Psychosis on Hub Pages, includes The Scream by Edvard Munch…
…and includes this passage:
"Today, many feel that they have changed in some way that
is hard to define. And yet, under closer scrutiny in the age of economic
uncertainty and the war against terror, we can see how the collective
temperament has indeed changed in some way. But the change has been
almost imperceptible and many people only feel that they have changed
somehow without being able to define it. It takes an objective observer
and good memory to see this change."
The
change is toward
more fear and it works, as intended [6], to the
advantage of the global power elites that I call the diaboligarchy.
[7] Fear is the natural, unavoidable and helpful reaction of most humans
to genuine threat (some psychopaths are exempt). The threat could be a
tornado, wild animal or actual invading army.
Three basic courses of action are available: fight, flight or play
dead. None of these are available to the average TV viewer exposed to
most mediated (“if it bleeds, it leads”) threats. (An exception would be
media reports of a rapist loose in one’s neighbourhood.)
The prices extracted from long-suffering humanity by the
diaboligarchy’s “fear sector” include the killing of untold numbers of
innocent human beings, ongoing destruction of the environment and steady
reduction of freedoms for most people everywhere and an unrelenting
increase in police state surveillance and other activities.
At the same time, global monopoly capitalism bestows minimum or no
economic or other benefits upon anyone lower than the elites on the
ladders of wealth, power and privilege. All the negative outcomes
contradict the “pro-democracy” baloney, the “trickle down” nonsense, the
cant about “fighting for freedom” (
freedom being the most abused
word in the language) and other self-serving fictions promoted and
disseminated by the power elites across multiple platforms. It must be
considered hopeful progress that in just the last decade it has become
widely known that it’s the 1% versus the rest of us. [8]
Oligarchies dominated by psychopaths pursuing their own selfish
interests at the expense of everyone else have risen spontaneously since
civilization as we know it was born in Sumeria. To know this, however,
is small comfort and should not be taken either as a sentence upon the
future or cause for despair.
Rage is a reasonable reaction to the historical record as well as the
present situation. “The truth will set you free,” someone said, “but
first it will make you angry!” Once you learn truths hidden behind
fiction after fiction you can never go back to believing the old
fictions.
One of these fictions is to unduly equate our present pickle with
previous pickles, such as that the world faced in September 1939. Things
are very different today than they were even a few years ago, let alone
decades or centuries ago. And “history” is as illusory as is the
present. History, it has been said, is written by the victors. And it’s
hard to find a more unsavoury lot than history’s victors.
As “speed-up” tightens its grip on all of us, it’s justifiable to
state unambiguously that “civilization” faces an unprecedented and
extremely dangerous situation. Its components are multiple and mostly
growing crises. [9]
Some of these crises are developing at an exponential rate.
There’s also more than one possibility of a worldwide catastrophic
event, such as the eruption of the Yellowstone Park volcano. These are
beyond human control to prevent and therefore outside the mandate of
this series. [10]
Unlike an asteroid strike that, even if human civilization took
concentrated precautions to avert, would still rest in the hands of
fate, false flag ops have been and remain an unnecessary concentrated
calculated human activity, essentially in the hands of a small minority
of humanity, not fate. I consider it obvious that numerous plans in
various stages of completion are at the ready in the inner sancta of
organizations such as the CIA, FBI, Mossad and MI-6. One targeting Iran
could trigger World War III, even as it continues to true that false
flag operations remain the least-recognized source of wars and misery.
The upshot of the injected madnesses is that to one extent or another
many significant events and ideas taken – beyond our personal bubble –
as “realities” are illusory. In a mind-boggling number of cases they are
outright deceptions. In this series the reality of false flag
operations is the focus. All merge into Maximum Illusion Time.
CRISES: KILLERS OR SAVIOURS?
Although it’s not entirely accurate [11 ] to say that the two
letters in the Chinese alphabet representing crisis also stand for
opportunity, the nub – that crisis is arguably the greatest change agent
– holds true.
Crisis is a high-octane change agent in individual lives, society and
history, dwarfing most other drivers. When I interviewed him in his
home in California in the early 1970s, sociologist and futurist Richard
Farson told me: “Most people believe they learn from their mistakes.
That’s seldom true. It’s more true that people learn from their
successes. But what causes people to learn the most by far, in a way
that actually changes their behaviours, is crisis.”
He mentioned bankruptcy, divorce and life threatening illness. Later, in his 2003 book,
Whoever Makes the Most Mistakes Wins,
he writes:
“As with individuals, sometimes crisis is the only thing
that can move organizations. […] Paradoxically, adversity and upheaval
can be far more powerful agents of change than planning and consultants.
[…] The lesson for managers, obviously, is not to arrange calamities,
but to recognize that calamities, when they do occur, can be
opportunities for significant and needed change.”
But diabolical managers would use Farson’s insight to “arrange a calamity,” wouldn’t they?
None know better that crises create opportunity, or take more
advantage of it, than the diaboligarchs. Rather than waiting for crises
advantageous for them, they manufacture them. [12] This is done largely,
if not mainly, through false flag operations.
These help drive the herd mad while opening up repeated opportunities
for the diaboligarchy to expand its powers, seize new ones, amass more
wealth and privilege and further consolidate its overall grip on the
herd, as well as impact the trajectory of history — for the worse, much
the worse.
The madnesses are easier than ever to inject because of important
advantages – some age old, some unprecedented – enjoyed by the power
elites. These will be dealt with at some length in Part 6. But stripped
to the core we can say here that
the elites accomplish their goals mainly through their use –
in tandem with their control of the mass media –
of false flag events, pseudo-events, [13]
organizations and agents.
Virtually all students of the “big picture” agree that the elites
control the media – and furthermore that the media are the most crucial
amplifiers “verifying” past and ongoing deceptions. The media also
pre-clear the populace to board future fake flights of perception.
THE WIRING OF “PERCEPTION BOMBS”
The detonation of a false flag “terrorist” bomb can be thought of –
in a ones-and-zeroes sense – as pure information. It can simultaneously
be thought of as disinformation, because of its origin and agency.
All meaning is negotiated. For most people the meaning of a false
flag “terrorist” bomb is “negotiated” with the mass media. This is a
one-sided negotiation for most people who have themselves – what is
called “the illusion of the unified self” [14] – on one side, and the
media and other controlled aspects of “reality” on the other.
One upshot, isolated for our purposes here, is to make false flags
completely real for most people most of the time. This is true because
it’s true that most people get most of their information about most
things most of the time from the mainstream media. And even though more
and more people are increasingly getting information from non-MSM
– mainly Internet-accessed – sources the MSM continue to impose our main
dose of “reality” through a combination of agenda-setting,
disinformation and critical omissions – all persuasive and repetitive.
False flag ops are real even for those of us who are skeptics – but
in a significantly different way. We skeptics are forced to acknowledge
the truth that these lies are “the truth” for most others. Hence the
paradox in the flashline at the top, that the “illusion” of the
so-called “war on terror” is “real.”
Simple, yet complex.
“LANGUAGE IS EVERYTHING” [15]
So how is Maximum Illusion Time created and maintained? First, by language. The
term “war on terror,” for instance, is
literally [16] broadcast,
heard, published, read and spoken thousands of times per hour, 24/7,
worldwide. This has been true year in and year out since 9/11. This
repetition alone creates a huge chunk of “reality.”
The two pillars of communication are persuasiveness and repetition.
Explosions and bombings and arrests of dark- skinned bearded young men
with Arab names, and court cases involving them and successful
conviction of them and jailing of them are persuasive “facts,” to say
the least, for most people unaware of the webs of deceit involved almost
every step of the way in almost every case.
Integral to the phrase “war on terror” are images. No wonder. That
phrase appears in headlines in close proximity to pictures of burned-out
cars, blood-spattered marketplaces or mug shots of dark skinned bearded
young men with Arab names – or pictures of them being led away in
handcuffs or…
Inherent in the images are concepts.
Without consciously knowing about the phenomena transpiring in their crania, millions of people millions of times a day
feel fear while, in micro-seconds, parts of their brains
subliminally generate
some version of dark skinned bearded young men with Arab names. Or
planes crashing into buildings. Or blood-spattered marketplaces or…
The neural pathways to these feelings, images and subliminal
phenomena impossible to describe except at book length (if then) have
been trained, for 999 people out of 1,000, by a synthetic perceptual
environment.
The thousandth person might have literally experienced something
related to terror. But that person mathematically most likely suffered
the experience at the hands of Americans or their proxies in Vietnam or
Chile or Guatemala or El Salvador or Iraq or at Guantanamo. Or in
Pakistan or Yemen. Or in the scores of countries, including Iran, where
the USA has “projected its power.”
That thousandth person almost certainly has neural pathways leading
in very different directions from those of the “great unwashed.”
The late Princeton University professor Julian Jaynes in his landmark book
The Origin of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind sheds considerable light on the percepts (not precepts) involved in Maximum Illusion Time. This is thinking about thinking.
He writes (page 9) that thinking is not something under our
(supposedly “conscious”) control. It happens faster than we can control.
He writes (page 38): “In introspecting we always have hundreds of words
to describe what happens in a few seconds. What an astonishing fact
that is!”
As Wikipedia puts it, “Jaynes defines ‘consciousness’ more narrowly
than most philosophers. Jaynes’ definition of consciousness is
synonymous with what philosophers call ‘meta-consciousness’ or
‘meta-awareness.’” Human consciousness, in Jaynes’ view, is defined by
reflection, introspection. It’s not just “seeing a table.” Any dog or
cat can do that.
On the critical matter of concepts (this would include “the war on terror”), Jaynes writes that they are
not in [his definition of] consciousness,
so language is required to access them. On page 31: “…one of the great
functions of language is to let the word stand for the concept, which is
exactly what we do in writing or speaking about conceptual material.
And we must do this because concepts are usually not in consciousness at
all.”
On page 27: “To be conscious of the elements of speech is to destroy
the intention of speech.” This is significant for skeptics who, as
outsiders as it were, can “meta consciously” see language being used and
abused by charlatans.
It lies outside this series to deal with the subject of language let
alone consciousness in anything like the depth they deserve. They will
figure again in Parts 4 through 10. Meanwhile my approach is to question
or highlight particular uses of language, consciousness and
unconsciousness as I encounter them.
The general question posed earlier – Is there such a phenomenon as the “war on terror”
as presented?– can
be divided into four others. Are there different ways to perceive this
“war?” Yes. Significantly different? Yes. Is the most significant
alternative perception that the “war” is a
contrived illusion?
Yes. Can this be proven for reasonable people beyond a shadow of a
doubt? Yes. These answers imply much heavy lifting on our [17] part for a
long time.
Two more questions: Are we fighting only a rearguard action? Maybe. Can we win? Depends both on what we mean by
win
and also on future unforeseen developments. You never know your luck.
We’ll return in Part 12, “Ways Forward,” to this territory.
THE COGS OF THE MAXIMUM ILLUSION MACHINE, AS PRESENTED
“As presented” includes repetition, as already suggested: trillions
of bytes of digital embroidery– printed and electronic output that
endorses and promotes, explicitly or implicitly, the Big Lie of 9/11,
and the interlaced cascade of prior and subsequent false flag operations
and other lies in support of the whole ball of wax. This is
accomplished with images and repetitive terminology in what I’ve already
termed a synthetic perceptual environment. It’s laden with a continuous
outpouring of mutually reinforcing language, “facts,” images,
interpretations and opinions.
The opinions are especially interesting in that they differ (a few
examples are provided further on) yet in their most important respect
differ only superficially. That most important respect is the
“takeaway.” In that they’re identical.
This is because all these “different opinions” are based on a shared
unarticulated major premise: that these events and pseudo-events,
including 9/11,
are as they have been presented.
