FEATURE STORY

INFORMATION DOMINATION
MOVING FROM "TOTAL INFORMATION AWARENESS" TO "TOTAL INFORMATION CONTROL"

image of Big Brother on movie theatre screen; feature story is INFORMATION DOMINATION - DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET; WE CONTROL THE VERTICAL, THE HORIZONTAL From false flag operations sold by corporate media as reasons for war to the battle for free information flow on the internet to the false choice of the left-right duality, we live in an era when The Powers That Be recognize the importance of shaping the message, and the spin zone has expanded to such an extent that even seemingly trustworthy sources like WikiLeaks may be caught up in the disinformation game. We offer a number of stories on this important theme.

CATCHING UP

Living Hero

Synthesis Series:  Where's the Imagination? — Jun 2010 — This is an excellent collage of clips that covers the intentional zombification of all but the elites of the planet, a process undertaken over more than a century.

The Presence Portal

The Blessing of Hopelessness — If you truly believe there is a universe-driven transformation coming soon to us earthlings, then it may be time to get realistic. This third-density corporeal form we inhabit (the "little I") is inextricably tied in with "the old," so for "the new" to come in, our bodies and minds will have to give way. In this light, food storage and intentional community building and other physical attempts to prepare for the chaos that will be associated with transition would be futile and misguided. What is a thinking, feeling, enlightened person to do then?
