#0 Clint Richardson: Crash: Why America Will Fall Under Its Own Shadow

 
Crash:
Why America Will Fall Under Its Own Shadow

A few of Clint Richardson's comments along with our own:

Of economists - In truth, anyone who claims to be one is quite frankly full of shit.   We are not afraid of strong language!  In terms of being able to forecast anything with any reliability, this is a known fact. Is there something wrong with the subject of economics itself? Yes, and a forthcoming series on this blog will attempt to demonstrate this.

Of our money - In reality, the fiat currency is nothing more or less than debt. It is promises to pay that will never be paid, for no debt can ever be paid with debt. The United States is a bankrupt corporation, as James Trafficant stated in congressional record, and a bankrupt cannot create anything but more debt.  We are agreed, except for one thing; the problem is not that the currency is fiat at all, it is with who gets to issue it. Identify who gets to issue all the debt currency and you have the essence of the problem. [5/4/16: Since writing this we acknowledge that ALL money represents debt -unsettled barter transactions- including precious metals used as money.  The question is debt to whom and for what?  The issues are deliberately obscured by the obvious monopoly of THEIR money power enslaving all of us.  There is nothing short of violence we can do about it and that is NOT to be our answer.  Secondly, the matter of money being fiat or a commodity since that's your choice, is not the question AT ALL.  We were all told that to draw our attention away from the source of the theft of OUR fiat which we claim by right along with freedom of speech, press, assembly and as Riegel noted, contract.  We accuse and accept as reality that the central banks and hence the banking monopoly, which took over the world in 1815 have enslaved us and we'd frankly rather go about our lives in SANITY and the REASONABLE EXPECTATION of continuing peace rather than DYING FOR THEIR BLOOD SOAKED ROTTEN CRIMINAL SYNDICATE SYSTEM AND THEIR STINKING MONEY!  We don't want to be complicit in their crimes and wars anymore.  By using THEIR money, we are.  Understood?]

Quote from the Federal Reserve - In the United States neither paper currency nor deposits have value as commodities. Intrinsically, a dollar bill is just a piece of paper, deposits merely book entries. Coins do have some intrinsic value as metal, but generally far less than their face value.  This is true and so what? Again, what exactly is money? Most people, including Clint, don't seem to know. Most for example think it must be another commodity that has some tangible so called intrinsic value when that is not what money actually is. They are confused because they have not properly examined their terms. Money is merely the means to split barter. [ALL money represents debt in the form of unsettled barter transactions.]  Anything could be used for the purpose, but essentially bookkeeping entries are every bit money as are digital signals representing them generated through swipe cards.

On modern money - Transaction deposits are the modem counterpart of bank notes. It was a small step from printing notes to making book entries crediting deposits of borrowers, which the borrowers in turn could “spend” by writing checks, thereby “printing” their own money.  Riegel saw this. He would have considered swipe cards as acceptable money too, as long as the underlying basis was correct. As long as Clint and others are trapped into thinking money is a commodity, as it presently is even though its representation is intangible, there is no real hope of any positive change. This inability to see through scams definitely impacts the future prospects for freedom, quality of life, or even life itself.

A question for the public - Do you understand that debt is the basis of all religion, and that your belief and fear in it is all that substantiates it?  Consider what you actually believe and why. Does it have anything to do with paying back someone for some debt for something you did or failed to do?  [5/4/16: This actually came up for discussion recently with the story of the man who borrows a gold coin so that while he holds that gold coin his creditor may have unlimited favours from him; he has become the lender's slave.  Now assume that some religion promises its adherents certain things after this life, things like paradise or eventual everlasting life.  Then the masters of the religion (there's always some kind of priest class) have their co-religionists by the throats for any infraction might mean they lose eternal life.  Imagine.  And what if it's not even so?]

On the scam - When this system of monetized fakery was created, its goal was not to create wealth. For money is not wealth, it is the opposite of wealth. It is debt. It must be traded in exchange for wealth to fools. If an entire nation and planet of people can be made to believe that this debt is actually a credit, then the debt can be traded for actual wealth. In other words, an entire people can somehow be made to believe that everything in reality can be traded for merely a promise to pay, and that this promise to pay is the same as the payment itself.  The game stops when enough people finally say either, “we have no more with which to pay you” or “we will not accept your money as payment.” Until then, and by use of FORCE, the game can and will continue. [5/4/16: But there is something more here, much more.  Everyone is aware that the money they use is NOT theirs.  It says right on it to whom it belongs.  Therefore Clint's phrase
system of monetized fakery is better rendered system of fake money since WE did not issue it.  It would matter immediately if Clint or I actually issued our own money among a community of our peers that was intrinsically connected (how's that?) by the international standard Value Unit that we all issued anywhere and everywhere.  We would do so by buying something with our money from our friends and neighbors and those in the next town or next county rather than paying everything to some distant "public" corporation that anonymous operators own behind everyone's backs, etc.  That's called capitalism and we're specifically against it.  It's the evil twin sister of socialism invented largely by the same interests.]     

On the revolution scam - But revolution means to revolve back to the beginning; to start over again. Same empire, different name. This is why so many movies and other media is predictively programming us to support such revolutionary dissonance. Our ideas are very seldom our own, and obviously neither are our ideals of morals and values.  Right. So you expect anything to change if or when there is a revolution? Nope, nothing will change, because the revolution is part of their game. One has to think completely outside their box.


On our addiction - We literally sell our souls for debt. We worship it. We trade assets for promises to pay. And we even hoard the debt notes in the illusion of security, as if debt equals safety. Unfortunately, our unreasonable belief and faith in this debt money (the devil’s currency) has lead us to covet the very thing that is killing us slowly. We therefore defend these promises to pay even to the point of war and violent oppression of the entire planet, giving blind and unwavering support to our dictators in congress and in the militarized Executive branch to kill in our (the people’s) name for the protection of our own disease of debt in its world domination. Needless to say, all of this stems from the same source and must come to an end. [5/4/16: Emphasis in Clint's quote above mine.  Maybe better THIS debt money as ALL money represents debt.  The appropriate questions are 1) the legitimacy of the debt and 2) to whom the debt is owed.  THOSE are the questions THEY'd rather not have widely exposed to public view.  But they will be anyway.]

On the likely political endgame - America’s culture (which is a lack of established culture and moral law) has been infused with most other nations. Its fake currency has bought up the world “economy,” and that wealth can easily be transferred out to the world bank, leaving the people of America hopelessly destitute. With trained peace-keepers keeping the violent peace under United Nations’ preview, the centralization of military power can now be unilaterally acquired by the U.N. The United States as a mere member state of the United Nations can and is being equalized with all others.  Since the UN, NATO, the EU, etc. are all illegitimate organizations, sooner or later they shall all fail. They are built on the central bank idea of money and must certainly die with their demise. This should be a natural phenomenon as immutable as gravity. As with the Titanic when it went down, all lifeboats are admonished to row as far from the sinking vessels as possible. [5/4/16: However with 50 million Americans out of work and far worse elsewhere, wars, etc. IF the elites try this there will be war on American soil guaranteed and they will not win such a war!]


On the means to that end - The centralized power as military force of the United States must be dismantled for the Roman phoenix to rise in its new form of global governance. And the only way to accomplish such a seemingly impossible feat is to play the only card left in the deck – the illusion of economic collapse through the “crash” of the fake currency.  Too bad so few people realize that there could be an alternative that wouldn't involve any states or “authorities” outside each local area. But we are sometimes in the same position as the Copernicus or Tesla of prior periods. E. C. Riegel had the ideas, the solution just needed a few adjustments. The implementation requires individuals, families, villages, towns, small and medium sized concerns to bring it about.

On reality - The shadow of America is the corporation 10 miles square called the United States corporation. And the 50 individual states that we call America has fallen prey to its own so-called central government, where the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto are the verifiable written law.  The truly aware and awake know this full well to be true and those who are not afraid of the truth understand that the same people behind the money system are those who bankrolled communism and all the wars going back in history for at least a thousand years. The implications are, as some might characterize it, of Biblical proportions.

On “Mystery Babylon” - The shadow government is killing its creator. And belief in its own declared, de facto, prima facie evidence of legitimacy is all it will take to deliver the final blow. And our own sons and daughters as career mercenaries will be our own peace-keepers at home.  The instigators were among the “founding fathers” of the great American republic. They were traitors [to England] from the beginning though perhaps they didn't see it that way and many of the others were too unaware of the implications of their [British money power's] imperial and tyrannical schemes. Suffice it to say, more people are waking up every day. We gratefully acknowledge Clint Richardson's contributions to our further understanding.

#0 Stefan Molyneux: The Hidden Dangers of Bitcoin

 

The Hidden Dangers of Bitcoin


The copy posted on YouTube said this: “Bitcoin is a revolutionary decentralized architecture which can be used for an untold number of incredibly valuable services – including the transfer of financial value. As Bitcoin adoption continues to expand, significant interests are threatened and early users could face an incredibly dangerous backlash. Please protect yourself, a fight is coming…”

We do have some differences with Stefan (most are insignificant), but our major concerns with Bitcoin are that 1) it is just another commodity based currency, therefore subject to speculation and 2) it is still not YOUR money. We consider these significant issues which shall be covered in a forthcoming paper concerning frauds, scams and other methods of stealing “financial value” from you. Stay tuned.

#0 Politically Correct Matrix: Red Ice Radio Interview with Patrick Henningsen

Politically Correct Matrix: Red Ice Radio Interview with Patrick Henningsen


Though certainly not perfect - the significance of this interview for the purposes of this blog is that Henningsen explains the presence of political cults and the way they operate; cultural Marxism, the tool of the power elites. Being aware is half the road to gaining awakened consciousness. The best thing anyone can do to wake up from participation in Mystery Babylon is to disconnect yourself from any and all of these cults. Then one must become aware of the cult administrators and enforcers of this age. Remember though; they are trapped as much as you are. It's time for everyone to grow up!

Portrait of Thomas Paine by Matthew Pratt c 1785–1795
2014-11-21: 086 Common Sense for the 21st Century

It would seem that few of us know as much as we could about Thomas Paine (1737-1809).  This episode, close to 16 hours in length, begins with a stirring speech by former SAS soldier Ben Griffin at Oxford Union (UK), a speech with which we heartily agree. Indeed, this message should be spread throughout the world, especially the English speaking Anglo-Saxon segment of it. Then we hear from the late Christopher Hitchens on Thomas Paine, and again we are heartened to have his remarks on the record. We'll also hear from professor Andrew Galambos, whose definition of idiocy happens to coincide with that propounded by this blog, synonymous with a state of irrational ignorance!  (BTW, about two thirds the way through his lecture -vintage 1965- he says exactly the same thing Riegel said of banks, "they don't lend money."  No, they lend credit, they create money out of nothing!)  If you have been following along (and paying attention to the research of Patrick Henningsen and James Corbett) then you will understand immediately that a confluence of intelligence and understanding is alive in today's world and as they would say, when a critical mass occurs, their old way and their ancient and corrupt systems will as if impelled by natural forces, come to an end. Once again, the presentation is monumental. Take whatever time it may take to enjoy and seriously consider the ideas presented here. A real education doesn't get much better than this.

#0 Gladio B and the Battle for Eurasia - James Corbett


'Operation Gladio B’--the continuation of the old NATO Gladio program--covers a tangled web of covert operatives, billionaire Imams, drug running, prison breaks and terror strikes. Its goal: the destabilization of Central Asia and the Caucasus. In this presentation to Studium Generale in Groningen on November 19, 2014, James Corbett lifts the lid on this operation, its covert operatives, and the secret battle for the Eurasian heartland.

#0 Neocon Carnival of Constitutional Confusion - Tom DiLorenzo


"If Hamilton, Marshall, [Joseph] Story, and Lincoln stood for anything, they stood for a highly centralized government with a dictatorial executive branch.  They were all mortal enemies of the alternative, Jeffersonian states’ rights tradition, the tradition that gave us federalism, the Tenth Amendment, decentralized government, and the rights of nullification and secession.  It is the tradition that is epitomized by the slogan, “that government is best which governs least,” as Jefferson once said."

The rest is mighty good reading and yes, we are insisting that the truly well informed will want to read DiLorenzo fully, all his books and everything he writes, as he does know what he's talking about!

#13.16 Peace Revolution Podcast 85

2014-09-22: 085 The Future of Freedom and the History of Western Civilization 

This episode spans nearly 16 hours of audio presentations. It can be divided into two parts. The first part runs to the 11th hour and about 26 minutes and consists of the most intelligent conversations concerning internet (and other) surveillance. The remainder of this episode contains a complete set of lectures by professor Carroll Quigley (1910-1977) author of Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time (1966) and many other extraordinary books. Richard Grove said that he wanted to get this material out in front of other material, interviews etc. that would follow. Yes, we at this blog, divide people into two broad categories, those who have read Quigley and those who haven't. Obviously we consider his work essential reading.

Of the foregoing, there are so many ideas peppered through these presentations, together forming probably the most up-to-date record of where we are concerning the level and extent of surveillance under which we live today. The Quigley lecture is occasionally very difficult to understand (headphones may help) but you will want to hear what he has to say and digest some of his ideas as he really did have his mind on the pulse of what makes the institutions of the modern world work, etc. He understood contemporary ideas against a historical background extending back into ancient times. This is why his work is so outstanding. It would be worthwhile for someone to transcribe these lectures so that we can have a clear idea of what he said. Grove's audio transcription is probably the best we have, but in parts due to Quigley walking away from his podium, it's very difficult to tell what he says right away. At this point we have the record. The next step is to get this record into a reasonable print equivalent for further study. Until then, attempting to listen through this material provides some idea of Quigley's ideas.

#0 True Federalism - Thomas Jefferson (1816)

Jefferson (1743-1826)
The way to have good and safe government is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the functions he is competent to.

Let the national government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations; the State governments with the civil rights, law, police, and administration of what concerns the State generally; the counties with the local concerns of the counties, and each ward direct the interests within itself.

It is by dividing and subdividing these republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations, until it ends in the administration of every man’s farm by himself; by placing under every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best.

What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body.”

#V1.2 Fall 2014 - Winter 2015

No Interest in IVES 
September 15th, 2014

David Burton, the blogger who began the E. C. Riegel Blog (ecriegel.blogspot.com) said today that the drive to recruit delegates to a special private conference to set up the International Valun Exchange Society (IVES) as an organizing mechanism to spur development of a real alternative currency trading network or Valun Exchange Network (VEN) had failed to receive an adequate response.

After meeting with close colleagues, Burton said that many factors have contributed to his decision to curtail postings on the E. C. Riegel blog for the time being.

One concern was that an inadequate number of hits on the blog indicated that far too few have an interest or have bothered to pursue this alternative further, for whatever reasons. Some suggested that it simply was not yet time for such an effort to get under way.

Burton surmised that many are so caught up in just trying to survive the present system, which is increasingly forcing people to deal directly with it in terms of “various para-espionage techniques” to which Burton noted that at this point, obviously most people are either still unaware that they have been and are slaves, or that they prefer being someone else's slave rather than exercising the responsibilities and requirements associated with genuine freedom.

“The degree to which most people still refuse to do their own thinking and would rather rely on the 'expert opinion,' as bad as that is, indicates that this effort would at this time be an uphill battle.” He refused to comment further concerning any who had previously been so vociferous, stating, “My e-mails have dried up. Those who did the most complaining have disappeared.”

Burton said that there had been two proposals presented to him in May and June. The first consisted of suggesting that the initial transaction representing the value of a Valun at inception should coincide with the all time highest price in dollars for gold rather than Burton's seemingly arbitrary choice of 11/2/2011. Burton said he would second the motion at any bone fide convention of the proposed IVES.

The other proposal concerned a family credit system allowing families to borrow at no interest a certain number of Valuns per child, 1,000 Valuns per child was suggested. Burton said he'd have to give the idea some further consideration, but was not closed to the idea.

When asked about the future of the E. C. Riegel blog, Burton said, “As with anything that's new to most people, the avenues of entry are frequently beset by various types of people of rather low character, people who would in any other legitimate line of work be considered cranks, losers, etc. If a truly honest person comes forward attempting to present an idea to the public, they are generally met with dismissive ridicule or worse. It's a wonder any real progress in anything is ever achieved.” He remained hopeful that at some time in the future more people would begin to understand the value of Riegel's ideas and devise something based on them that might work very well for most people.
  
“But,” Burton said, “until the thing fails and much worse befalls a woebegone humanity, few will wake up and understand their condition or what must be done to escape it. The IVES proposal was obviously one of those things whose time has not yet come.”

2014-07-31: 084 Builders of Empire / How Fraternal Orders Create World Order 

This slightly better than 10 hour podcast, which is nothing when considering today's memory capacities on cell phones, furthers the information presented in the last episode.

We're presenting these here as most people who imagine they've really received an education in the present system, really have not, and therefore have been purposely cheated out of information they should have known, which of course might have changed history, and changed course for the human race a long time ago.

Of particular note is the analysis presented by Stefan Molyneux concerning immigration. You'll probably learn things you hadn't thought of concerning this issue. What occurs to us is that in most cases the immigration issue has its own feedback loop with the productive factors in developed countries dumping excess production into countries from which the immigrants flood, literally making it possible for these factors to make local factors in the countries from which the immigrants come, unprofitable to operate.  

Yes, we're speaking of agriculture specifically, though we are certain the same process extends to manufacturing and other sectors. This process actually harms both the countries from which these immigrants originate and the countries into which these immigrants flood as it becomes increasingly difficult for smaller, local factors of production to operate at all, anywhere.

As this process continues, the smallest unit of production one will be allowed to operate is a local franchise of some vast corporate monstrosity. Anyone with an open and unclouded mind is able to see how this process stultifies innovation and originality, creativity and actual cultural diversity. It is actually worth asking what the difference might be between outright communism, where the state operates a command economy and a corporate fascist economy operated by an occulted class of bankers, etc.

This is a symptom of the same disease; globalism, which afflicts us all. And of course at the heart of it lies the central banks, the issuers of all that government money, and the corporations, all creatures of the state, whose profits are in some cases guaranteed and held over the heads of the rest of the citizens of the countries in which they are chartered.  Whatever you might think of Jones, he is in fact telling you the truth here too.  He knows what's really going on. 

Then follows an in depth look into neo-conservatism and its effects. We consider this a false conservatism that has been hijacked for the purposes of the present leadership. Regardless of what the defenders of this ideology say for themselves, obviously, the people at the top and those who support these organizations and use their ideas, are inextricably linked. Their power and reach wouldn't be possible without their control specifically of the monetary systems throughout the world.

#0 A Conversation with Clint Richardson - "A World Without Gray"

 

Our first episode for 5 weeks due to technical issues. Thanks for hanging in there.

This episode is with an interview with Clint Richardson, titled "A World Without Gray" and is being released on Sunday, February 24, 2013. This interview with Clint was was recorded on Thursday, February 21, 2013.

Clint Richardson is back for his 5th time. This time I was to be on his show: A World Without Gray, but over frustration at his radio station, 5 minutes into our interview he quit. So we moved the interview to my show. So we ended up interviewing each other and just had a general conversation. Here we discuss smart technology and many other topics.

A protégé of Walter Burian, Clint Richardson is back for his fourth installment on the CAFR, or Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Clint has been on previously to discuss his videos The Corporation Nation, Lethal Injection, and his investigation of my own local School District, CAFR SCHOOL: RIM of the World Unified School District Expose. Clint has what I consider the most important information out there today on our economy and how it actually functions.

A former Hollywood sound designer and musician, a crisis of conscious led him to begin researching, writing, and eventually producing primary research documentaries exposing the very research that Hollywood is designed to hide from the masses. Now unable to work in his industry of study (for this Hollywood betrayal), Clint applies his professional sound talent and newly learned video skills, as well as a devotion to first-hand, primary research and writing, to contribute to the "Waking Up" of the population at large. His credo... expose "them" until they dispose of him.


Clint's Documentaries include:

The Corporation Nation
The Corporation Nation 2: The Great Pension Fund Hoax

Lethal Injection: The Story of Vaccines

And the CAFR School series.

#0 Why I Quit Hollywood – Clint Richardson

Source Clint Richardson [1/5/13]

I realize now that I was guilty of exactly what I blame people for today.

Cognitive Dissonance…

It was a constant mental battle with my ego; an effort to compensate for those scraps of carnal knowledge, like many uncomfortable splinters incrementally digging deeper into my skin, that told me what I was working on and therefore condoning as “just a job” was morally and ethically wrong.

You see, I was a professional Hollywood sound designer – the guy who made war scenes and civil war reenactments sound so incredibly real. I was the guy who used “foley” recordings of squeezed fruit and veggies to produce realistic blood and guts for total aural stimulation in the entertainment experience. I was the guy who made monsters and dragons come to life, designing the roars and squeals that hopefully made the audience recoil with excitement; accepting for just that brief interactive experience the death and dismemberment, murder and rape, torture and sadism that goes into the making of many of Hollywood’s movies and games; Jewish torture porn as I now know it to be called. I knew, for instance, that some of the best screams and squeals of shear terror, pain, and agony emanating out from my massive sound library at Soundelux studios was that of the castration of pigs in slaughter yards. And yet the sincerity of these sounds are what made such evil creatures, created through some sick, twisted, and perverted artist somewhere, come to life and make my audiences skin crawl.

And I quite enjoyed my work. For I was an artist myself, unaware of my own dissonance and denial that what I was doing may very well be harming others and myself.

I had listened to the arguments. I had even considered them briefly; like a starving man considers a day old uneaten hamburger, weighing the dangers and consequences of the very sustenance that would end the pangs of his hunger. But with me it was my ego that was hungry. I strived to be the best at what I did, and received acknowledgements and awards for my work and work ethic. I considered the horror that I was promoting and creating, and my ego only wanted more – more notoriety, more respect, more money, and more credits for my now worthless resume’.

A demon’s hiss? No problem.

The Devil’s vocals? Ok. I can do it.

Zombies, gremlins, dragons, goblins, and just pure evil? Great. Bring it on!!!

One day, as I had increasingly been listening to internet radio and talk shows in my windowless and soundproof studio, I heard an interview with a United States soldier. This young man, barely out of high school, was in charge of flying the drones that were dropping bombs in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and wherever else the United States government asked him to. For him, this was just a job – dropping bombs on men, women, and children. He referred to the flight controls as being very similar to a video game booth. And for some reason, this boy struck a nerve with me.

As he explained the details of each mission, sitting comfortably in an underground bunker with joystick in hand and an approximately three-second delay between the drone camera and his digital reconstruction of that feed thousands of miles away in the deserts of New Mexico, he proceeded to explain that the kill ratio was not very accurate. He explained that for every suspected “terrorist” that he would attempt to kill by dropping bombs from a pilotless drone across the world, the collateral damage was expected and accepted to be around 95% in civilian casualties.

In other words, 95 innocent men, women, and children would needlessly die for every actual target that was hit by these drone attacks.

Perhaps this would have been enough to set things into motion for me; to squash my ego and realize what later became so loud and clear… but there was more to this story.

As this boy soldier, a corporal, went on with his daily routine, he commented that his wife and children also lived on the military base with him. And like any 9-5 job in any corporation in America, this boy went home to his family each night as if all was right in the world; as if what he was doing was perfectly normal.

But it was his final clutches into my ego that were the most haunting…

As a young kid, he continued in that interview, this deliverer of unmanned death and destruction was a video game fanatic. Thus, comparing this weapons and flight simulator to an arcade video game booth was just a forgone conclusion in his head. This was literally just like his favorite games. This really was “Modern Warfare”.

For whatever reason, it was this one event in my short-lived career as a Hollywood sound editor that shattered my ego into many pieces. It made all of those Christian fundamentalist’s and concerned parent’s incessant ranting about violence in video games and movies become a reality. It was right in front of my face; for the first time spoken to me by an eye-witness of his own self-subversion and social media conditioning. Perhaps it was the singularly disturbing lack of empathy in his voice as he referred to flesh and blood people, including children, as targets, assets, and collateral. Or perhaps it was his lack of conscious in the contradiction of his own disposition – coming home to his wife and children after a day of killing real wives and children for a living, without the irony or absolute mental illness of that situation being readily apparent through his confident and militarily trained responses.

This was a turning point in my life – one of those defining moments that either makes or breaks a man; instilling an undoubting and permanent morality that can not be shaken or washed away by the tides of time. It was the destruction of a large chunk of my own cognitive dissonance.

Over the next year or so, I went room to room and asked my fellow and more experienced co-workers if the years of design of demonic images and bloody sound effects had yet created a sense of dread in them. The answers were sporadic, mostly depending upon their age. However, overwhelmingly those answers were of the opinion that with the advent of newer and better technologies to create more terrifying and graphically superior and disgusting monsters, the more the constant visualization of these images were effecting the well-being of these designers. Some wished to quit but had families and so couldn’t. Some prayed every night in the hopes that this would somehow make their involvement in this gross promotion of gore and violence more acceptable to God, for which I was equally disturbed. And yet the youngest of these people; those who had grown up in the modern advanced video game generation, seemed to assess my questions as ridiculous - as if I was one of those crazy fundamentalists or parent groups out there trying to take away their fun. This delicious irony only further solidified my distaste for what I was doing as a job. I was literally helping to disassociate whole generations of children and adults from reality – creating dissonance in promotion of ego, destroying empathy, and causing what would otherwise be shunned as perverse and morally wrong to be accepted as perfectly normal and in fact wonderful.

I was the media. I was the bad guy. And yet, until the end, I could not see this job as anything but cool… with my name 2×10 feet in brightly lit movie credits.

And sadly, when I left, my naturally Jewish boss made no illusions. There were 1,000′s of people out there that wanted my job. And I gave him no delusions that I wanted to come back some day. For I made the conscious decision to quit Hollywood and to move far away. As he was interviewing a young and impressionable kid to take my place, he insincerely wished me luck.

As I finished up with my work on the ultimate zombie-gore-fest entitled “Resident Evil 5″, I vowed to never participate in this type of media again. I quit Hollywood!!!

I have told this story many times on various radio interviews, attempting to instill in people not only the crisis of conscious [no, that's conscience, Clint] that I myself went through, but also the fact that there is life outside of the established guidelines of what is considered “normal”. My job was normal. And yet, normal is a sickening participation in debauchery.

This brings to mind one of my favorite quotes: 

It is no measure of health
to be well adjusted  
to a profoundly sick society.”  
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

I believe that no truer words have ever been spoken, than those of this quote. In one complexly simple sentence, this quote defines exactly the truth of this life and this consciousness. And yet everything out there, including my former profession, is designed to disassociate people from that consciousness; to numb the mind and excite the body, and to absolutely adjust whole generations to a profoundly sick society.

Take it from someone who’s been there…

Finally, as you likely did not get the opportunity to hear what I did, I was recently sent this video that has the same type of situation. Here, a group of soldiers shows you the video game booths and their controls for which they use to fly these unmanned drones and kill families in distant foreign lands. 

The U.S. Air Force is in the midst of radical change, now training more drone pilots than fighter pilots.”

This, you see, with the help of the video game, movie, and other digital entertainment media, is now becoming normal. And before you know it, these soldiers will be flying over your home. And somebody in camouflage fatigues will be making the decision for that drone pilot as to whether or not your family is acceptable collateral damage or not while texting his wife to cook a steak that night. Expect to see predictive programming reality television shows about these domestic drones and how normal they are, and more “toys” that can be flown through your so-called “smart-phones” – you know, the surveillance device carried around by most not-so-smart people who have been conditioned to believe that these smart-grid technologies placed into their phones and pads are for fun, entertainment, and for making a simple phone call.

At around 6:30 in this video, we see these military drone pilots acting normally: 

So, I have the opportunity to go to work, fly a mission, ah- no matter where it is, do the job, and then I put on a different hat and I come home to my wife and kids.” 

Unknown soldier in video, coming to a town near you, no matter where it is”.

sigh…

Yes, Clint, that’s what our government does. It dehumanizes people, kills people, and spends trillions of dollars devising new weapons and better torture techniques. And the ratio is more than 95% percent civilians to each terrorist target, because most of those we deem “enemies,” are simply people who do not want to allow us to steal their resources.

So you still think wars are fought because of religion? They almost never were, so anyone caught regurgitating this LIE is hereby branded a fool or a clown, or perhaps merely a misinformed idiot, take your pick!

So do you still think that voting and running for office can change anything? Will anyone in government voluntarily give up the profits from their extensive defense stock portfolios? The defense corporations are “too big to fail,” so we dropped 16,000 tons of bombs on Afghanistan during the Bush administration (we’re dropping many more bombs now with Obama’s expansion of the war) – a country that our best intelligence estimates said had no more than 2,000 suspected terrorists. That’s 8,000 TONS of bombs per terrorist. Want to calculate how much money that cost us? Don’t forget to add to the price of the bombs, the cost of the planes or drones and fuel to get them to that poverty-stricken country. We could have purchased the whole country and every person and piece of property in it for a lot less, but then there wouldn’t have been any war profits to be made. 

This indicates what we've been saying all along; it isn't just about profits, it's about life or death POWER as a result of the MONEY used being THEIRS not OURS. If the governments (with the help of their banking and corporate co-conspirators), are the issuers of the money, then they spend it on what they want, not what you or I want. There can be no genuine “public interest” under these circumstances!

The nightmare is real. Most of us oppose war, but no matter how we vote or who is elected, the results of our elections are always more war because that’s the basis of our so-called economy. Without government, we couldn’t have wars because there wouldn’t be a bureaucracy capable of stealing our money and diverting it to wars.

NO!!! As long as the money is issued by governments and subject to bankers' usury and all the rest that has been built up accordingly, no real change can ever be expected. Governments are the tools these people use, they are as much the prisoners of the same FORCES as are the individual citizens. They never did steal your money, it was never yours!

But how can we ever have peace when so many people believe that government is necessary because without it there would be chaos? Peace isn’t chaos, war is chaos. War is the screams, the agony, the blood, the deaths, the true horror that Hollywood only simulates. Without a government to shoot us if we strike or protest, we could keep the fruits of our labor.

Though a little mistaken, this poster's views are accepted, with this one small change: none of the money that you have ever earned in your entire life is really yours, everything you have ever done for any of this money is not the “fruits of your labour” as you all seem to think. You have been part of a mass-hyponosis via television, radio, SCHOOL, society, etc. Everything and anything, including your life, can and might be taken from you, because others as George Carlin attempted to tell us, they OWN you! 

Recently a FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] request revealed that the Wall Street had conspired directly with the FBI and DHS to destroy Occupy. Wall Street didn’t need to ask the President or Congress for approval–it owns them. It spends billions financing their elections to make fools believe that they have a voice in government, but our government, which is owned by the [BANKS and] corporations, never acts on behalf of the people and always represents the corporations that own it. 

The business of our government is war. It kills people. If somebody is elected who opposes that agenda, it takes them out. It assassinated JFK as easily as it assassinated Allende, Lumumba, and Gaddafi. With trillions of dollars at stake, it can’t afford to allow the mob and rabble of democracy to interfere. The Federalist Constitution was written to ensure that the rich would always rule, and their business has always been war, genocide, slavery, and wage slavery.

We've been trying to tell people for a long time; there is NO HELP in looking backward to the US Constitution. Sorry to inform the weak willed and weak minded of you out there, but the US Constitution was made before it went to convention and though there was much discussion over non-essential particulars, the key points were “rubber stamped” by the so called “founding fathers” rather than being decided by them, as much of that deciding had occurred already. It had to do with making sure that CREDITORS (both foreign and domestic, including the usual war profiteers) would be repaid, all debts based on usury of course. 
 
It is time to stop trying to reform our government and to stop supporting it. It does nothing except steal from us and kill. We do all the work and as worker/owners discover when they take over a factory, we can do it better without management and government making our lives hell.

Thanks for sharing your experience in such a transparent way. You have spoken truth and in a way to confirm what my wife and I have been discussing as truth and reality. Keep standing with truth no matter the cost to you. The reward for persevering is much greater than that of selling short. I’m sure you already know that, but I have learned that it is good to remind others though they may know for encouragement. Peace to you!

I can relate to that. I’ve worked as a stagehand for 9 years. Because of my contempt for the garbage consumed by mass audiences, I rarely watched a show that I built. After countless shows of award winning bands spewing poisonous lyrics and Broadway and Disney mind programming theatrical productions, I worked on a movie set as a grip in the Utah desert.

Only myself and a few of the local riggers took the time to pause and absorb the fact that we were on the Colorado River framed by two and three hundred foot walls of slickrock and sandstone amidst rock carvings and paintings at least a thousand years old.

The Hollywood guys out of L.A. looked like they smelled a fart when, over beers at a desert saloon, I mentioned jews and the whole poisonous control they had over films and entertainment. You’d think these guys would be in the know after working so many years in the industry, but all they wanted to do was tell boring stories about film shoots and talk about movie stars and who was the biggest jerk or the coolest, and how much money they made, etc. They had all been desensitized to the garbage pile they were helping create.

We’re moving to a new city soon, where I hope to get involved with documentary films and working around animals, and I don’t draw a paycheck for building the temples for the masses of morons to pray at for a few hours.

January 6, 2013

Clint, thank you. We all need to be honest with the decisions we make on a daily basis. As we age we should be come more aware of our surroundings and the effects we have on those around us. Attitude and actions define who we are. It is rare when one gives up a career because of their beliefs. Bravo.

We all have the option of changing, from what we read, what we watch
unfortunately we have too many mindless souls. “Lambs to slaughter” comes to mind.

IT IS ONE HELL OF AN EYE OPENER. WILL BE REREADING THIS MORE THEN ONE TIME.

Clint what restrictions do you have on reposting your blog say Facebook

besides giving full credit and a link to your blog?

January 7, 2013

Thanks for asking. Prison Planet/Infowars doesn’t ask, and they don’t give credit. But I’m somehow ok with being a muse. 

All right, Clint, but we will give credit where it is due.

All my writing and movies are public domain, with no restrictions ...

... non copyright, non patent, not subject to sale to someone else for their money!!!


No permission ever needed. No profit ever made. In fact I beg you to repost them, for without people like you, I have no publication.

The same goes for posts from this blog.

January 7, 2013

I wish I had something more inspiring to say than perhaps what’s already been said, but I simply have nothing to say other than “How horrible”. I know we can change this. We have to. We cannot let this go on. In my view, it is complacency that allows this kind of thing to continue. We cannot allow this. Good for you leaving Hollywood. It’s a place of lies and deception. Congratulations on such excellent writing.

This is the reason our family stopped going to the movie theater. This could also be the reason why you could stop flying. If you don’t put the money in to the pockets of American Airlines and United Airlines maybe they will kindly consider our request to take out the TSA out of the airport. Make? It won’t happen until enough people take action.

Your post broke my heart and gave me hope. I quit the film biz about six years ago. I was in the Art Department (even the various “Departments” are capitalized and have “egos”. ha…) and after 15 years I could no longer stomach the pomposity, lies, manipulation, thievery and exploitation I witnessed and participated in every day.

Everyone said and, keeps saying, I am insane to have walked away from the money and fame. I still haven’t managed to figure out how to make a living now that I have left it behind … but I have hope.

Yeah, well perhaps if enough of us got together and decided to do something completely on our own without permission, we would accomplish something.

And I agree, the Jewish people who run the business are out of control. I remember riding in a van on a location scout one day and suddenly everyone (except for me) began shouting, “Isn’t it great? We’re all Jews!” And they were all laughing so strangely when it struck me that it was as if I wasn’t there or didn’t exist, as I’m not Jewish and they all knew that. I could see I didn’t “count”. For the first time I truly understood what racism feels like – like you’re non-existent, non-human. Because that’s who the “we” were in their proclamation – the “we” were the humans, who were all Jewish. But not me, I was something else to them – at best a special “pet”. I thought I was going to throw up.

Whatever. You simply can't do anything about how other people are. All you can do is decide who you want to associate with and what you want to try and accomplish along with them.

I saw many other, much less subtle and more blatant brutalities, but, as you put so beautifully, I was an Artist (with a capital “A”, of course!). though it was in that van that something hit home and deeply. I knew it was only a matter of time before I had to leave my career behind.

In a way, I decided on doing the same thing. Before it was all over with a few years back, I'd managed to become acquainted with trading securities, options, investment strategies, etc. etc. It's all worthless to me now, as participation in it is categorically evil; the “investment” racket involves swindling people.

The corruption is there from the first thought and what appears on the screen for the audience is so very dressed up and polished in comparison, but also seductive and delicious to the senses. A veritable shit feast.

I’m really worried about the young people. They are lapping this shit up as if it’s the best thing in the world and it’s killing them, literally. Who needs make-believe zombies when real ones are growing up everyday to kill innocent people around the world from “adult” (ha!) play stations?

Who was it that said you could always identify a civilization that was on it’s deathbed when the adults began co-opting the children’s toys? I think it was some Roman or another…

Also, that quote is also my favorite. It’s taped to my bathroom mirror, but I never knew it was attributed to Goethe. I’ve only seen it credited to J. Krishnamurti? [LOL!] Learn something new every single day. Thank God. And thank God for you, too, Mr. Reality Blogger.

Now, if I can just figure out how to make a living without selling my soul…

That's going to be very hard without knowing beforehand who you want to associate with and why and what you would like most to do. That's part of the reason for THIS blog.

Everyone said and, keeps saying, I am insane to have walked away from the money and fame.”

I don’t “get it” when people say this. I guess the people who you talked to are, to no great offense, shallow people. Maybe they too are entranced by the gloss that is movie making that gets a distribution deal and red carpet treatment.

July 5, 2013

Then I guess you don’t understand American culture, but good for you. Money and fame are highly valued as is self-evident in this society. Just look at the way we live. And, yes, most of the people who said this are shallow, though completely unaware of this fact, but that describes most people. I left anyway.

September 10, 2013

Nice to know some of your background, Clint. I too find it hard to work anywhere, because almost every job requires some element of deception in it. [This was not always the case and it need not be this way.] Well, and I’m just so depressed about society and people in general, it’s like I don’t want to support it in any way. I’d gladly work for a society I could be proud of. 

... in that case, it's time to start actively forming one.  No one else is going to do it for you.

June 5, 2014

Thank-you for sharing. I recently moved away from friends, family, and everything I’ve known to be here in Hollywood. The more I see here and closer I pay attention, the more I get the feeling that this is just a vain attempt at something that does no tangible good. It’s a system that you must buy before you can be accepted into it.

We have suggested that this is not even true as they will never accept you regardless of what you do. Of course is it worth asking, if you had the choice, would you associate with these people or have anything to do with them? If you do and are, then you are helping them. But they are not helping you, they are using you. Our message has been consistent and very clear; “come out of her, my people, lest you be associated with her crimes!”

I’ve been struggling with what to do with these feelings and this article was very insightful. Again, thank-you.

July 3, 2014

Clint, this was among the very best "testimonies" I've read lately and I hope many others find inspiration in it to begin to do something different about their involvement with ... the world order.
