How to Get Out of Your Own Way

By Gary Z. McGee

“Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you.” ~Carl Jung

How do you fulfill the way that is in you? Conditioned by the ways of others, how do you recondition your cultural conditioning to see your own way open before you? How do you get out of your own way long enough to see The Way?

The best way to get out of your own way is to upset your settled mind. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “People wish to be settled; but only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.”

Indeed. The only “hope” is found in the unsettled state. A state of openness, suppleness, and teachability. A state of transformation.

Now enter self-interrogation. This is a form of ruthless questioning that upsets the settled mind long enough to see the way. It is the most effective way to get out of your own way. It is a method that aggressively asks mind-opening, heart-expanding, soul-shocking questions. It proactively outmaneuvers cognitive dissonance by staying one step ahead of emotion through a ruthless form of higher reasoning that never settles on an answer.

Instead, it tears apart all so-called answers. It “entertains a thought without accepting it.” It decapitates the God of acceptance. From the carnage, it honors what validates universal law and discards what does not.

Thinking in this way is wielding a question-mark like a sword. It shaves away the superfluous. It replaces “belief” with “thought.” It nixes notions of certainty. It upends both stagnant apple carts and carts stuck in front of the horse. It opens the Self up to self-overcoming.

As Eric Weiner said, “This is exactly what Socrates aimed to induce: a state of ruthless self-interrogation, questioning not only what we know but who we are, in hopes of eliciting a radical shift in perspective.”

For it is only through a radical shift in perspective that “the way,” Your way, can be revealed. Because, before the shift, your perspective was weighed down by cultural, religious, and political indoctrination. Whereas, after the shift, your perspective can finally be turned inward to the latent hero within.

Self-interrogation compels your inner hero to recondition your cultural conditioning. Otherwise, you are overwhelmed by the tribe.

As Nietzsche said, “The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”

This way, you are neither restricted by tradition nor bounded by convention. You shirk both to remain open to what the vicissitudes of change have to teach you. Unbounded, you free yourself to become authentic. Through this authenticity emerges a new way of being human in the world. A uniqueness that both honors your ancestors and honors your unique place in time.

You want to get out of your own way? Ironically, you do so by allowing your uniqueness to shine its light through the cultural darkness. For it is precisely the culturally conditioned “self” that must be outmaneuvered. Don’t let anything else lay your uniqueness low, whether culturally, spiritually, or politically. This is your life. This is your story to tell. This is your hero’s journey.

As Friedrich Nietzsche explained, “the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. Lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! And your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?”

You become ashes through the fire of self-interrogation. You burn away the dross of cultural conditioning to reveal the dynamism of the inner Phoenix. You resurrect yourself through the uniqueness of your own heroism. Then you double down on your uniqueness. You individuate your individuality.

Your true value is your emboldened uniqueness. Everything else is moonshine. Everything else is procrastinating virtue. Everything else is faux medicine. Emboldened uniqueness is your potential. It’s your deepest longing to create and express your own values into the world. This uniqueness is your life’s purpose, your soul’s signature, your unmatched contribution to the human condition.

Don’t waste it. Embracing your uniqueness is all about becoming who you are and not merely defaulting to who your culture conditioned you to be. You are incomparable. Prove it! Kill your constructed and conditioned self and give birth to your discovered and reconditioned self. This is the way toward wisdom.

As Euripides said, “The wisest men follow their own direction.”

Having upset your settled mind and reconditioned your cultural conditioning, you are now free to walk the way of your discovered self, your own unique wisdom. For have no doubt, your wisdom is yours and yours alone.

If, as Michel de Montaigne said, “We can be knowledgeable with other men’s knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men’s wisdom,” then it stands to reason that your wisdom is yours alone.

Thus, it is your responsibility alone to magnify this wisdom. It is your responsibility alone to manifest it. It is your responsibility alone to let it shine despite either the knowledge or the wisdom of others. After all, this is your way not their way.

As Emerson said, “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

Take this accomplishment and tattoo the world with it. Take the fingerprint of your wisdom and leave your mark. Transform your ashes into the shock and awe campaign of the Phoenix. Only you can do it. And only the You that has gotten out of your own way can do it properly.

International Public Notice: Analysis for Laymen

International Public Notice: Analysis for Laymen

By Anna Von Reitz

We are being killed, robbed, and defrauded by our own public employees.

That is the literal truth.

They are, in large part, being misdirected and misinformed by corporations acting as middlemen that they assume to be their employers — but aren’t actually their employers.

Their paychecks actually come from us, and so do the paychecks of the middlemen involved.

This disconnect between employer and employee results in our public employees being misled and harming their actual employers, the very people upon whom they all depend for their own livelihood — also the very people they are paid to serve and protect.

This is how we have “Federal” troops facing off National Guardsmen in Texas.

This sounds too crazy to be true, but it is, and this is not the first time this has happened.

America is not alone in having been bamboozled. England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the Roman Catholic Church all succumbed before we did.

As we began to dig into this absurd circumstance we discovered a pattern of this same thing happening for the past couple hundred years, with some of it going back far longer.

We were left wondering, how can this be?

How can people hired to protect and serve forget who they are serving, and then, not even serve themselves in the process?

The public employees aren’t served by harming their employers.

Some of them get payola out of it, but ultimately, they are out of their jobs and their pensions, and some could face being hung.

So what causes so many of them to obey patently unlawful, illegal, and immoral orders?

And why are the public employee unions not protecting and properly advising their members?

Police Unions have got to know that their members are not properly insured or protected by actual public bonding. Laborer’s International Unions have to know the same thing.

The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees is leaving its millions of members hung out to dry, their pension funds left at risk.

The American Bar Association, International Bar Association, and US Bar Association are acting in gross dereliction of duty owed to protect and advise their members and so is the American Medical Association.

All these licensed professional organizations and Agencies hired as Subcontractors of our Subcontractors are just going along, letting their members operate under false assumptions, and leaving them liable.

All of this is happening because, among the various middlemen, there is a “middleman of middlemen”: a comptroller, the banks. And the banks are corrupt, because the banks have been promoting and enriching themselves via fraud.

Thus, you have known con artists in charge of the other middlemen and they are holding the purse strings, not our lawful Congress, not our Fiduciary Deputies; if the banks stopped paying for it “in our names”, none of these evil things would be happening in the world.

No wars for profit. No poisoning of the environment. No peonage and enslavement rackets.

The banks are the stopcock and bottleneck in the whole system.

Long ago, bankers were doing a simple service — issuing and keeping track of warehouse receipts for commodities.

Ten bushels of wheat into the warehouse, one warehouse deposit receipt, ten bushes of wheat out of the warehouse, one warehouse withdrawal ticket.

Throughout Europe, they were called “bankers” in slang because the warehouses sat on the banks of rivers and bays and harbors, to expedite imports from the sea to the land and vice versa.

It was simple, and for what it was, it was honest.

So long as we were dealing in actual commodities, it remained simple and honest, because a bushel of wheat is a bushel of wheat. You can’t fake it. That bushel is either in the warehouse, or it’s not.

Unfortunately, things moved on from there and became more and more abstracted.

The actual bushels of wheat came to be represented by coins and still later, by paper deposit certificates instead; the banker stamped a piece of paper, signed for it, and this piece of paper now stood for ten bushels of wheat that the bank warehouse “guaranteed” to be in its possession.

We see this practice still in use in the issuance of Safekeeping Receipts called SKRs to this day.

So far, so good. Everything is still sane and on track and attached to the factual world, but circa the beginning of the 1800s, everything got out of whack and bankers began dealing in insubstantial things, like copyrights, performance contracts, and shares in joint stock corporations as “bankable assets”.

Like the disconnect between employers and employees, this disconnect between the old warehouse paradigm’s factual reality, and the insubstantial nature of things like promissory notes and labor contracts and bonds and shares of stock being “warehoused” and monetized, has led to gross confusion and fraud.

Some Parties figured out that they could increase what appeared to be their asset base by fictionalizing assets — also known as “legalizing” them.

You could begin with a living man bound by a fealty oath, and create a human named after him to function as an indentured servant (peonage) and you could then create another legal fiction, a corporation franchise, and name it after him to function as a slave (enslavement).

And at each step, in each jurisdiction, you could increase your asset base and also increase your ownership and control over the victim of this fraud.

All of this is perfectly “legal” but not lawful, and the laws that apply to these fictional persons are completely different, too.

One kind of law applies to living people, another kind of law applies to Legal Persons, and yet another to CORPORATIONS. Predictably, the laws that apply to each “class of person” are increasingly Draconian and increasingly unfair as we progress from the status of a living man to that of a human to that of a slave.

If we were to allow the further descent into madness, the slaves would be redefined as Genetically Modified Organisms owned by corporations via patent, and they would be totally unrecognizable as living men.

By mistaking the living man for the other “persons” thus created and skillfully manipulating between the forms of law owed to each of them, it has been possible for the Vermin responsible and the banks supporting them, to create a completely dystopian world in which the educated and wealthy are set free to prey upon, degrade, and rob the unsuspecting public.

And that is precisely what they have done.

Except that all their works and ways have been conceived in self-interest and fraud, and fraud vitiates everything, nullifying all that it has tainted.

In the course of our research we have determined that, while appearing to act as the English Kings and Queens, the purported sovereigns of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales have been acting in totally different capacities in league with the afore-described “asset control and manipulation scheme”.

The British Monarch is neither a King nor a Queen, but is instead the head of a Corporate entity, a Company, called “Great Britain” — not a country at all.

Likewise, the same Person acting as the British Monarch, can act as His or Her Imperial Majesty — an Office of the Holy Roman Empire, which is even more detached from physical reality, and is in fact the CEO of an incorporated franchise formerly called the UNITED KINGDOM.

These phony assets are all owned and operated now as franchises of Earth, Incorporated, yet another Municipal Corporation operated out of Switzerland.

The CEO of this giant swindle scheme is called the Pindar, instead of the President; the Pindar is a priestly office associated with the Mystery Babylon religion.

As “King” Charles III was recently crowned in the office of Imperial Majesty instead of operating as any form of “King, and as “Pope” Francis is not operating in either of the traditional offices of a Pope, we may safely assume that Francis is operating in the office of the Pindar now, and as a priest of Satan — the Father of All Lies.

And what is all this, except lies?

Lies about identity and authority, lies about offices and capacities, lies about ownership interests, lies about contractual obligations, lies about religion, lies about government, lies about everything you can think of, culminating in otherwise sane people dressing up in drag and parading around giant furnaces in the shape of an owl.

Unbelievable insanity.

Of course, when we bring this forward for public examination, some people think that we are off our rockers, too — until they gain an understanding of how Satanism inverts everything — and observe that Judges are now peddling injustice, doctors are promoting disease, Kings and Priests are lying about their offices and authorities, governments have been reduced to being incorporated governmental services monopolies, and a commitment to protect the public has been converted into a commitment to prey upon the public, instead.

These criminals, for criminals they are, have already forced mass human sacrifices upon us in the form of abortion on demand, endless wars replete with genocide, ethnic cleansings, and catastrophic environmental disasters, and never forget the recent pandemic democide; no doubt they ultimately hope to revive the blood-letting of the Aztecs and to restore their practice of throwing babies and dissenters into fiery furnaces as sacrifices to Satan and his minions.

Remember the Babylonian captives, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, whose Hebrew names as free men were Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah?

There is always a name change involved in the conversion associated with this venal fraud, from Babylonian times until this. This is Old School.

Just as the Babylonians gave their “human” servants new names to commemorate their denigration, and branded their slaves with signs, never believe it when you are told that James Allen Finch is the same as JAMES ALLEN FINCH or J.A. Finch or JAS. A. FINCH or anything else of this kind; each change however small, and any addition or deletion, results in the creation of a different entity or a different kind of entity.

It’s the same kind of fiery furnace, too.

If we won’t be fooled or seduced into doing these cruel and barbaric things voluntarily, they propose that they will do it for us — via wars, pandemics, “legalization” of cannibalism, and other steps toward the complete denigration and destruction of mankind.

We are just as determined that the only thing going into those furnaces will be their charters and registrations and licenses and permits, and their entire “legal” system, too.

We are not deceived. We are done with evil and delusion in all its forms.

Throughout the step-by-step descent into madness there has been an increasing reliance on abstraction: a free physical, living, breathing man is abstracted as a two-dimensional character known as a human, which is subject to peonage and indentured servitude.

Next, the human is denigrated and abstracted to the level of a franchise corporation enslaved to the will of its parent corporation, and, most recently, abstracted further and rebranded as a Genetically Modified Organism owned as a product under patent.

In this country, if you are a member of the military or have a title of any kind — Mister, Missus, Sir, Lady, Gentleman, Doctor, Professor, Confessor, Captain, Sergeant, etc., you are classed as a Human, owed British Territorial Law. Humans have no Natural and Unalienable Rights and are not Parties to the Constitutions nor heirs to their protections. They are considered foreigners in this country and subjects of the British Monarch.

If you accept any identity couched in sign language, as for example, JAMES MARTIN PIERCE, you are considered illiterate and a slave that exists as a Municipal citizen of the United States. The only law you are owed is the Spanish Law of the Inquisition.

If you accepted a clot shot, you are considered a Genetically Modified Organism, owned under patent by DARPA and licensed to Microsoft, Inc.

All of this has been done to you by people taking their paychecks out of your pockets, while considering themselves your owners and masters, by “the grace of Satan” — the Father of all the lies that have gotten them this far along the road to perdition.

Finally, let’s look at how all of this has been fueled by a similar process of denigration and abstraction in the banking system.

We started out bartering freely for goods and services, my ham in trade for your potatoes, my work as a carpenter traded for your skill as a seamstress.

All is consensual and self-evident, and at least in the consideration of the participants in the exchange, it’s fair.

This got abstracted to the substitution of gold and silver coins, which had accepted value in-and-of-themselves, and which could be traded for a range of other commodities. Now we were trading my gold coins for a variety of other goods and services — hams, potatoes….but what about services?

In order to trade services in an early money system, we had to invent the concept of time and unitize it as a quantity that could be measured, assigned values, and bought and sold as services.

The second, minute, and hour were created so that men could trade their services in exchange for gold and silver coins. Along with this came a whole pecking order, as some jobs were more necessary or more skilled than others, and commanded more gold per hour.

The next level of abstraction came with the development of “certificate money” — paper receipts standing for guaranteed quantities of warehoused gold, silver, or other physical commodities.

The “birth certificates” monetizing Municipal citizens of the United States that Franklin Delano Roosevelt literally sold as slaves to the Pope are exactly such warehouse guarantees. The British Territorial Birth Certificates that Jimmy Carter transferred to the International Monetary Fund were warehouse certificates of the same kind attached to British Territorial U.S. Citizens — plus millions of Americans merely presumed to be British Territorial U.S. Citizens on the basis of unconscionable registrations that were engineered when they were babies.

Those tallies included millions of Americans who were neither citizens of the Municipal United States nor British Territorial U.S. Citizens, either one.

We were falsely registered and rebranded as such, because our own government remained relatively dormant and was not provided with any information regarding these activities.

Finally, the bankers utterly corrupted and abstracted the system by issuing “notes” instead of guaranteed “certificates” to be used “as” and substituted for actual money under so-called Legal Tender Laws.

Any kind of “note” is a “promissory note” otherwise known as an I.O.U. representing that the one offering it will pay you off at some later stipulated time or according to a schedule of smaller payments to be paid monthly, yearly, or whatever is agreed upon.

To be valid, a note must have a stipulated end date or repayment date that is knowingly agreed to by both parties.

No Federal Reserve Note in history has had a firm repayment date published on the face of the note, so these promissory notes are all fraudulent on their face.

Additionally, the Perpetrators have deliberately removed any means of actually paying a debt, which creates another condition of fraud and force.

All forms of promissory notes are fraudulent in another sense as well; everyone signing or accepting promissory notes has cause to know that they are bargaining on future events that cannot be guaranteed to happen.

As such, both parties to such an arrangement are engaged in a form of unregulated gambling — a fact that banks have cause to know, but do not divulge to their victims.

When promissory notes are used as money, everyone involved is engaged in gambling on future events, in the same sense that insurance companies are engaged in legalized gambling.

Witness the pattern of abstraction: a bushel of wheat is “equivalenced” to a gold or silver coin in value, the gold or silver coin is replaced by a guaranteed warehouse certificate, the warehouse certificate is replaced by a promissory note underwritten by the good faith and credit of the U.S. Congress, that is, the elected Board of Directors of the United States of America, Incorporated.

Lacking a date certain for repayment, the promissory notes are fraudulent and subject to immediate foreclosure by the injured Preferential Creditors, the actual States and People of this country. And we have foreclosed on them.

Faced with the possibility of another round of this monkey-business and provoked by the recently announced United States Note, we have foreclosed the Federal Reserve and its Successors, as well as the International Monetary Fund.

They cannot expect to purloin and squander our assets or our credit based on unconscionable contracts and undated, unspecified promissory notes.

Their good faith on all issues has been found lacking.

An entire unregulated gambling market and futures investment market has been generated by this misuse of promissory notes without the conscious knowledge of the public.

Meanwhile, banking the value of joint stock company shares, like the advent of “mortgage backed securities” has left investors in the dark about the indivisible nature of their “share”.

Think about it this way: anyone who has invested in mortgage backed securities can’t point to any one house or property that they own no matter how much money they have plowed into such investments. They can’t prove they own a single house.

Even pension funds have been hoodwinked.

Their investment interest is commingled with the interest of many others in the same property and there has been no regulation in place to prevent the sale and resale again and again of the same or different property or share interests which results in a ballooning of “derivative interests”, with the percentage interest in the actual asset being infinitesimally subdivided.

Add to this that the legalization (fictionalizing) process results in the creation of assets that don’t actually exist, and you have a recipe for both corruption and disaster.

The fictionalization of land has resulted in a proliferation of legal fiction entities all claiming to have an ownership claim on the same physical parcel, and it is one thing when that parcel is legitimately public land, but quite another when it is in private hands.

Here is an example.

The UNITED STATES, INC. went bankrupt in 2015 and it was Chapter 7, Involuntary Dissolution. This meant that all its franchises, including the local franchise doing business as the MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH was also bankrupted.

The Receivers of the bankruptcy, the British Territorial State of Alaska, inherited the assets and the debts of the MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH and rolled the whole shebang over into a newly created structure doing business as a British Territorial “County” — a local franchise of the State of Alaska which is a franchise of the United States of America, Incorporated.

This new British Territorial County doing business as the Matanuska-Susitna County is now addressing all the British Territorial Humans presumed to exist and calling upon them to pay up the debts of the defunct MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH.

I, an American, who corrected my political status on the public record many years ago, and who published my Express Trust and recorded it on the Public Record years ago, and who also extracted my name(s) and all assets attached to my names, have no contract with either entity — not the MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH and not the new Successor doing business as the (British Territorial) Matanuska Susitna County, either.

We have received and returned tons of intergovernmental mail misdelivered to our privately bought and paid for post box, unopened, because we know the difference between mail and private post, and also know that we are not British Territorial U.S. Citizens and not acting as agents of their foreign corporation, so by definition, the Royal Mail Service is either committing mail fraud or not addressing us. It’s addressing a British Territorial franchise “Person” named after Americans– a Human that doesn’t exist, on behalf of an equally airy-fairy British Territorial County that has no substance, either.

Next, they hold a “tax sale” of what they also “assume” to be our house and land here in Big Lake, and a gullible Buyer goes to the tax sale and thinks he has bought our land and house, etc., for a pittance based on alleged unpaid service fees owed to the MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH by other non-existent franchises named after us.

All this is based on a single unconscionable and undisclosed contract foisted off on American babies in their cradles by their British Territorial employees.

We interviewed some now- former MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH Employees.

They freely disclosed that they could not and did not in fact create or own or sell any interest or accrue any debt against our house or land.

What they did create and copyright and buy and sell were their own land descriptions and location of service designators, such as street names and numbers attached to the public road easement in front of our house — 2390 South Park Road, and their own Subdivision descriptors, such as Lot I, Block 12, Birch Park Subdivision, amounting to custom plat maps, neither of which have anything to do with us or our house.

So now, we have to fully inform the Buyer of these interests that they have nothing to do with us or our house, and if there is any problem both he and the new Matanuska Susitna County have no recourse, because the MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH never had any ownership claim or interest in our substance, and technically didn’t claim to have any such interest.

As the BOROUGH entity is bankrupt, they can’t be held to account for any misrepresentation they made in making their Municipal addresses and plats and cataloguing systems available for sale.

So, they offered “2390 South Park Road”, etc., for sale, which was their copyrighted creation, but my house and land isn’t attached to their “title”; that title only attaches to a public road easement in front of our house and their other land description, Lot 12, Block 1, of the Birch Park Subdivision, only attaches to a totally imaginary Subdivision Plat, a special purpose map that they created and copyrighted and are free to sell.

Please note, if I didn’t know all this, the two colluding Municipal Corporations housed in the District of Columbia could actually succeed in illegally “latching upon” our house and land in consideration for one of them hiring a young woman to run around and make up a street name and assign a number to a piece of neighboring public road easement.

These swindles based on appearances have to stop and those indulging in these patently deceptive practices in pursuit of unjust enrichment have to be apprehended and punished for making false claims in commerce, illegal latching, misrepresentation, false registrations, and impersonation.

****Anyone hired as a Jurist by any incorporated Legal Fiction Entity and running a court to support and enforce these swindles against the American Public is committing a capital crime of inland piracy and unlawful political conversion under international law. No further Notice or Due Process is required to deal with this problem.****

And, we would assert, the Buyers of such misrepresented “property interests” should be held harmless and made whole, because they have acted without full disclosure from the Sellers and in anticipation that they were buying a house and land, not an arbitrarily made-up and copyrighted land description and a map.

The actual American Matanuska-Susitna County surveyed and defined by the Bureau of Land Management in the early territorial days prior to Territorial Statehood in 1959 encompasses land and soil as well as water and air, and that version of Matanuska-Susitna County belongs to us, as Americans, under the General Jurisdiction of Alaska, officially a State of the Union since October First 2020, retroactive to January 3rd, 1959 when Alaska — under the provisions of The Northwest Ordinance — entered Territorial Statehood.

The Territorial Statehood of Alaska and all the States created since the beginning of the American Civil War thus officially ended as of the first of October over three years ago, and all ownership interest in the State Trust Assets throughout this country reverted to the actual Alaskans and their counterparts in other States of the Union.

We extracted the assets of all the Territorial and Municipal STATES including the State Trusts and rolled them into two American Common Law Trusts, one public and one private; these actions and the numerous notices and liens associated with them are cured on the Public Record of the numerous and Several States and Counties.

Our courts hold superior concurrent General Jurisdiction with regard to all Americans and American assets, including our land, soil, water, and air resources.

We don’t deal in legal fictions and flim-flam.

We don’t recognize registrations obtained under conditions of deceit and non-disclosure. We don’t recognize unconscionable contracts applied to babies in their cradles or foreign citizenship obligations arbitrarily conferred on anyone without their knowing and fully disclosed consent.

We refute and rebut any assumption that the Law of War or Law of Peace apply to us and our situation, though we would be owed the Law of Peace in any actual war; our country, The United States, has been at peace since 1814; all else that has happened here has been in the nature of illegal Mercenary Conflicts promoted by foreign Municipal and Commercial Corporation Subcontractors acting in Gross Breach of Trust and Violation of their Service Contracts.

Our Court rendered Final Judgment in April of 2014.
Let those who have ears, hear.

It should now be apparent that we have lived in the grip of a foreign peonage and enslavement racket promoted by our public employees — who have done this while owing us good faith and service and while taking their paychecks from our pockets the entire time.

It should also be apparent that continuing these practices and acts of fraud “legalizing” — that is, “fictionalizing” and impersonating actual people, and using this to promote actual crimes against humanity, has to come to an end.

There is nothing fictional about the harm being caused by these impersonations, misrepresentations, and mercenary acts of fraud, force, and violence.

The corporations responsible must be dissolved back into the ether from which they sprang and the Principals and responsible Parties who have concocted and run this con game have to be recognized as the criminals they are.

It must also be firmly recognized that by descending to the level of an incorporated entity, any subcontractor of this or any other government, loses State Immunity.

Bullied To Believe Mainstream ‘Truth’

Bullied To Believe Mainstream ‘Truth’

A US congressman called a crank for questioning 9/11 over a decade ago. I examine how bullying and narrative control is replacing sensemaking.

by Joe Martino

A news story written by The Daily Beast challenged US politician Jamaal Bowman about a poem he wrote in 2011 with lines about 9/11.

Bowman is a congressional representative for New York. He wrote the poem on his personal blog during a time when he was going through a period of extensive reading and documentary watching to explore various political views. Amongst the films he watched were Zeitgeist and Loose Change.

Both films I watched back in 2007 and I feel are well thought out and reasonable in their presentation of facts and ideas. Neither makes unreasonable or assertive claims.

Bowman wrote the poem ‘Recapitulate’ because what he learned about 9/11 through those films resonated with him in some way. So much so that he likely believed/still believes something about 9/11 doesn’t make sense, and he was inspired to share this with others.

His poem contains the following lines about 9/11:

“2001/Planes used as missiles/Target: The Twin Towers,”

“Later in the day/Building 7/Also Collaspsed [sic]/Hmm…/Multiple explosions/Heard before/And during the collapse/Hmm…”

“Allegedly/Two other planes/The Pentagon/Pennsylvania/Hijacked by terrorist [sic]/Minimal damage done/Minimal debris found/Hmm…”

“We blamed Osama/Went to war in Iraq/Captured Saddam/Killed him,” “Bin Laden is Afghan/So we went to war there too.”

”​​Watch Loose Change/And Zeitgeist,”

Before I get into the rest of the story and my breakdown of the implications of how we’re dealing with stuff like this, take a look at the article presentation from The Daily Beast.

We see the words “disinformation” “cranks” and “conspiracy theories.” All words that are associated with one another in our current culture.

Think outside of consensus reality and you’re a conspiracy theorist. If you’re one of those, you’re a crank and spreading disinformation. That’s the black and white line of thinking of bad faith actors like The Daily Beast and many other mainstream outlets.

It appears The Daily Beast wrote this story to get a response out of Bowman’s now deleted poem which they dug it up by going through web archives. The problem is, the way they attack his poem with official facts contains multiple problems.

The Daily Beast article states, as they critique his lines about The Pentagon:

“The strike on the Pentagon led to part of its outer wall collapsing, resulting in 125 fatalities within, and the deaths of all 59 people aboard the plane.”

If Bowman is referring to the same facts I am aware of, he’s not saying nothing hit the Pentagon, but that evidence suggests it wasn’t a large passenger plane. The Pentagon is one of the most guarded and surveilled buildings in the US yet it took a recent 5 year court battle to get the release of ONE video of a “plane” striking the Pentagon.

Not only did the ‘plane’ manage to make a hole in the Pentagon a lot smaller than the plane itself, but it looks a lot like a guided missile. Occam’s Razor would suggest that given all the available evidence, a missile most likely hit The Pentagon, not a plane. Why is this not a reasonable stance to take?

The most liked comments (thousands of likes) on the video above state things like:

“It amazes me with that pilots skill; looks like a guided rocket”

“My favorite part is how you can’t see the plane!”

“As a pilot, I watched lots of videos by very experienced airline pilots and they all said that trying to fly at 550 knots at or very near sea level was exceeding the maximum stress level of the aircraft by 100+ knots. An inexperienced pilot who only flew and failed flying Cessnas would never be able to hand fly a 757 so close to the ground and that the turn he made to hit the Pentagon (550 knot descending turn) would stress the structure to the point of breaking up. Again, not a conspiracy theorist but looking for transparency.”

“There was a gas station that had a perfect camera angle of the crash site but the FBI confiscated it for some odd reason. This isn’t the only footage”

The point here: people seeing things with their own eyes and using basic logic have a right intuition that something doesn’t make sense. Instead of being met with a reasonable conversation, they are bullied toward accepting what the government states. Even while the government withholds basic information. Outlets like the Daily Beast then crucify people asking reasonable questions.

In the article, the Beast also claims the fall of World Trade Center 7 is already a debunked theory.

“Bowman there invoked a favorite, disproven trope of the paranoid fringe: that the collapse of Building 7 was the result of a controlled demolition. In fact, the National Institute of Standards and Technology determined that Building 7 buckled and fell after debris from its taller peers struck it and ignited a blaze inside, undermining its structural integrity. The agency found that none of the details of collapse, from the manner in which the building’s windows broke to the sounds reported in the area, were consistent with the massive blasts a controlled demolition would have required.”

Add “paranoid” to the mix folks!

In their race to call people out and maintain consensus reality, they don’t even realize their circular reasoning.

Films like Zeitgeist, Loose Change and studies like that of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, which pointed out that WTC7 could not have fallen from fire, are directly challenging the story proposed by NIST. To then say “No you’re wrong because NIST said so” is circular reasoning. It’s bad faith. It’s disingenuous. It’s lazy.

The Fairbanks study looked directly at NIST’s entire explanation and found:

“Our study found that the fires in WTC 7 could not have caused the collapse recorded on video,” […] “We simulated every plausible scenario, and we found that the series of failures that NIST claimed triggered a progressive collapse of the entire structure could not have occurred. The only thing that could have brought this structure down in the manner observed on 9/11 is the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building below Floor 17.”

– Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Dr. Leroy Hulsey

You can see the problem in using NIST’s explanation to debunk those critiquing NIST. The moral of the story, theories around the fall of WTC7 have not been debunked, they are unacknowledged.

The Daily Beast is using the all too common cardinal sin of outsourcing their critical thinking to mainstream institutions.

Is The Daily Beast not aware of this misstep in logic? Have they ever taken a look at these films or the scientific evidence that provides a different story of what happened on 9/11? Probably not. This is why most folks out there, like politicians, mainstream outlets and podcasts like the Conspitituality Podcast are acting in bad faith. They are taking to platform and ‘debunking’ things they have not yet taken the time to consider in good faith.

Yes, there is a stark difference between poorly thought out and ridiculous ‘conspiracy theories’ and instances where people are pointing out very specific and evidentiary things, all while saying “ I’m not sure what’s right, but I know something is off here.”

The tricky part is these outlets don’t seem to realize the difference between the two and instead lump them into one category: ‘cranks.’

Interestingly when I’ve met up with people in person who know what I do, sometimes they’ll pitch me wild and untrue conspiracies and when I say “Here’s why I don’t believe that” and provide evidence, they look at me like I have two heads. Because conspiracy thinking and conspiracy denial often become black and white for people. It’s all true or it’s all nuts. No critical thinking involved. I wrote an essay about this phenomenon here, simply, the same lack of critical thinking happens in both spheres.

My gut is that there is a general collective lack of capacity to truly hold multiple worldviews around a subject at once. A stress response emerges when our worldview is challenged and we don’t have the presence to let that be without shutting down our inquiry. Thus we go into defense and protection mode. This is not an issue of mainstream vs alternative, but one of the human condition.

The Implications of This Culture War

I hope it’s clear here that I’m not suggesting The Daily Beast should believe what I believe, but that The Daily Beast is not thinking clearly.

I’m saying that mainstream sensemaking around 9/11 is bad and obviously so. By not engaging in a real discussion of the evidence we are choosing to invoke shitty sensemaking to uphold consensus reality and protect standing governmental institutions. Hence outsourcing critical thinking to government institutions.

But at what cost? Unchecked power?

I’m curious, how would The Daily Beast know if NIST, the CDC, FDA etc was lying to them and compromised? This goes for much of the mainstream as well: if you invoke circular reasoning on people who reasonably and skillfully challenge the tropes of these institutions, do facts even matter? Won’t these institutions end up with unchecked power?

This is the plight of current consensus thinking. It’s broken and lost. And it’s being held in place via bullying, threats, and a lack of capacity to step into the unknown. Yes, the unknown takes skill and self awareness to navigate without becoming unhinged – something that happens to a ton of people in the conspiracy space – but it shouldn’t be avoided. I’ve pointed this out for over a decade.

Bowman deleted his entire personal blog years ago, likely because he knew his prior curiosities would come back to haunt him in his career. Now he publicly states:

“I don’t believe anything that these cranks have said, and my life’s work has proven that. As a Congressman, I’ve written a Congressional Resolution condemning a dangerous conspiracy theory, I’ve stood up to MAGA extremists, and I’ve called out the endless bullshit of the far-right.” […] I regret posting anything about any of these people. Anyone who looks at my work today knows where I stand.”

The trouble is clear I hope. We cannot know if Bowman is genuine in his words here because he knows what will happen to him and his career if he were to suggest he isn’t sure what happened on 9/11 and has questions.

You either believe what consensus reality states or you’re a leper. This isn’t freedom folks, this is narrative control via bullying.

In an upcoming episode of the Collective Evolution podcast, I speak to my guests about conspiracy. We work to define the term, what it means to our culture, and how there is an interesting relationship between exploring system dynamics and conspiracy.

For example, if I say “It’s a conspiracy that big pharma and lawmakers collaborate non-transparently to benefit pharma companies at the expense of product safety” someone might say, “No, that’s not a conspiracy, that’s just how corruption works in our system.”

Yet this is the literal definition of conspiracy. We’re just at a point where using the word comes with a ton of negative connotations. People are literally self-censoring due to current cultural dynamics.
