There’s something to be said for reading over other means of ingesting information, as long as we follow Daniel Boortsin’s advice, that we “Classify, make inferences, reason, and practice, practice, practice.” Other forms of receipt of information are less useful:
Television and other electronic forms: I created, not intentionally but rather by blurting a while back, a bit at a kerfuffle at a family gathering when someone mentioned some news item, and I observed that the effects of television news were not just belief, but instant belief. From there I was castigated with the usually defensive nonsense, that people get “news” from more than one source, that the Wall Street Journal is reliable, and that no one really takes TV news seriously anyway. A grandson mentioned reading something, and I said reactively to the overall tone of rebuke that “Paper doesn’t refuse ink”, which brought about laughter. That’s a saying I remember via my mother from my grandmother, a school teacher.
Movies: Here, I am repeating with great doubt Marshall McLuhan’s observation that television is a hot (participatory) medium, while movies are cold, making us passive observers. I reflect now on two events, anecdotal to be sure.
- 1) We used to have a movie theater in my home town of Billings, Montana, known among us as “The Gumshoe”, and my daughter for a while acted as projectionist. This allowed me to visit and observe her at work. I looked out through the projection window, and from there I could see the flickering of the frames and the backs of heads, and realized that what was going on there was coldly hypnotic, nothing subtle about it. People were in a trance.
- 2) Just recently I came across Roger Pielke, Jr. writing about the resurgence of nuclear power. I am aware of those who say nuclear plants are elaborate fakery, and I think they are wrong. It is quite real and can produce superabundant energy at low cost, which is why leaders find it dangerous. There was a movie released on March 16, 1979 called The China Syndrome, and I commented about this at Pielke’s site as follows: “Movie The China Syndrome, full of nonsensical fear mongering about nuclear power plants, release date 3/16/79. Three Mile Island incident 3/28/79, 12 days later. Number of injuries and fatalities resulting: Zero. Cost to nuclear power industry: Incalculable.” The point is that the movie had the same impact as TV “news” reporting, instant belief. To connect the two events would be a conspiracy theory … not going there.
Authoritative sources: Look around us and you will see the word “expert” tossed around like T-shirts at a Springsteen concert. It too is a means of induction of instant belief. It is experts that carry forward with the great fictions and lies of our times about viruses and AIDS and ICE killings of innocent civilians. “Experts” are introduced on news shows with careless ease, and as the screen switches back and forth we are treated to truth and unquestioning acceptance of truth. But it is not a zero-sum game. In the Covid Hoax, we were allowed to be skeptical about the virus, but only in this sense, that the virus really existed, of course, but came from a Chinese laboratory rather than organically jumping at us from … what … snakes, monkeys… who knows? In this manner we are treated to witness of people who think themselves curious and skeptical having real skeptics and inquiry Whoosh! right by them. I marvel at how easy it is to manage the public mind.
Books: This what I came here to my computer to write about, not just books, but one book in particular. I’ll name it in the following paragraph, but for now, please take note:
- I do not advocate that you read it. It’s just a book, one author who selectively passes on information. You have other books available to you. Read them instead!
- The book is over my head in so many ways, but I don’t shy away from those things. Even if I come out of that experience no wiser as to the intricacies of the science behind the author’s words, I cannot be harmed by exposure to information if I maintain skepticism. The idea of shielding people from lies (or truths) is offensive. If we actually taught people how to think properly, why would it ever be a problem? We would allow kids to read anything, and without fear. They’ll figure it out if they know how to think.
- Many times the information passed on in books subjected to ridicule is wholly intentional. I remember reading the works of Immanuel Velikovsky and his theories of comets creating the ghastly episodes given us in the Bible (a book written by experts) and claiming that the stories occur all over the planet at the same time. Take that for what you will, but the unintentional part of it was akin to a movie “Planet of the Apes” where the head gorilla was shown a paper airplane by the stinky stupid humans, and grabbed it out of midair and crushed it. He knew about flight, but it was forbidden knowledge. I came away from Velikovsky not able to know anything about events in the Bible other than to be stirred to great curiosity, and thinking that he was pilloried and ridiculed to the point where, according to his daughter, suicidal, and my conclusion was that he wrote about forbidden knowledge.
- Then I came around to another event concerning books. Some friends in Bozeman went to great trouble to construct an exhibit for circulation among regional libraries that put on display books that had been censored. The list was extensive, including (memory fades) Animal House, Invisible Man, Fool’s Crow, Montana: High, Wide and Handsome … and I had to laugh about these friends, privately, of course. None of those books were censored! How do I know that? They made a display of them. They were right there in front of me. Truly censored works … well, we never get to see them.
- So then I wondered about the Velikovsky affair, and decided to leave it in suspension. Yes, he was treated badly, but his book was published. Experts did not like it, so it appears, but did not censor it. They could have.
That in mind, I am reading now Hiroshima Revisited, by Canadian Michael Palmer. I also listened to an interview done at Fakeologist by Ab Irato.
- Palmer claims that the bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not atomic, and that the Manhattan Project, in that regard, failed. Whatever they stumbled upon was too big to attach to the head of an ICBM. All we got out of it was nuclear power.
- The observations of the victims within the book set aside any notion that the event of produced by conventional explosives. I am on Chapter 10, describing the flesh and lungs of victims who were victimized, not by an atomic flash and radiation, but rather by mustard gas and napalm.
- Up to this chapter Palmer has been coldly clinical, but here he, in his own away, loses it a bit and talks about rank and cruel-beyond-belief infliction of suffering on innocent victims. I won’t go into detail, just remember, this was your country that you love so much, and I will recite one footnote that speaks volumes, page 150, footnote 1:
Even though Japan had capitulated on August 15th – 9 days after the bombing of Hiroshima, and 6 days after Nagasaki – the U.S. did not send any physicians or medical supplies at all to either city until September, and even then gave only meager support. The purely investigative Joint Commission arrived only on October 12. This prolonged failure to investigate seems to have been deliberate.
Years back, when I was still “investigating” (reading books about) the JFK assassination, an Intelligence agent posing as inside whistleblower (completely uncensored), Fletcher Prouty, made an observation that seems to fit here, that after the end of WWII, the US had a huge arsenal of weaponry and shipped it off to two locations, Korea and Vietnam.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not set aside for special treatment, although the introduction of atomic bombs used merely set in motion a new form of propaganda active to this day (re: Iran). The cities were firebombed. Every city of any size in Japan was firebombed. I cannot speak to the destruction of Germany as I’ve simply not read much about it, so chime in please. From appearances it seems that that era saw the U.S. embarking on installation of a New World Order with destruction of cities followed by rebuilding and newly purposed missions for countries, for Japan and Germany to give us their exceptional intelligence in invention and manufacturing, followed later by Korea, and for Vietnam to become a garment center. Russia became our evil nemesis. This is all in service of the giants of the West, the U.S., Britain, and France.
The means by which this was done was criminal and insane. The masterminds behind it were not Stalin, a piker by comparison, but Roosevelt and Churchill, maybe just actors and observers, but guilty nonetheless. These are monsters who brought about indescribable evil … oh, wait. The book describes it. It says that we were lied to! It was not nukes! It was mustard gas and napalm. Phew! What a relief.
Take comfort: victims were not instantly killed by the heat of the flash and radiation, but rather in the old fashioned way, by burning them alive with napalm suffocating them by poisoning them with mustard gas. Where did that stuff come from? Was it left over from the Huns? If not murdered quickly by those immediately exposed, death inflicted was slow and cruel.
Because, you see, we had indeed entered a period of enlightenment.

Somewhere deep in the bowels of the September clues forum there is a thread about Hiroshima and Nagasaki where one of the contributors claims to have met a citizen of one of those two cities. I can’t remember which city, but this 90 plus year old woman claimed that the entire city was evacuated two weeks before the “atomic bomb” attack.
Regardless of how accurate this nonagenarian’s recall was, one must ask the most important question: did anyone actually die in those “atomic bomb“ attacks? So many psy ops are walled in by massive death toll claims that few ever ask.

(6) DARWIN DIED TWICE – by J. Arnold – Liar’s World
HERE IS MY COMMENT:
I found the Palmer book to be carefully meticulous and anti-sensational. One key element was distance analyses: If the explosion was radioactive, human damages would be governed unerringly by distance, and they were not.
Here is a revelatory point from a piece on nukes by Lies are Unbekoming:
“The physics is the foundation. Explosions need rapidly expanding gas to create the blast wave that knocks down buildings. One gram of TNT becomes a thousand grams’ volume of gas in microseconds — that gas is the explosion. Nuclear fission produces no gas. It splits heavy nuclei into lighter ones and releases heat and radiation, neither of which produces a mechanical shockwave. This is why reactor accidents at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima produced melted fuel rather than nuclear explosions. The chemical hydrogen explosions at Chernobyl and Fukushima were exactly that — chemical, not nuclear.”
I cannot prove/disprove this statement, but it rings true to me, especially after reading the Palmer material.
(Unbekoming wrote a “book”, but it is AI and repetitive and this was, to me, the takeaway)

Walter Alvarez did not just grow up to read the letter; he grew up to become a brilliant geologist.

Unsure of what caused it, he teamed up with his “dear old dad,” Luis . Together, they analyzed the clay and found it packed with iridium, an element incredibly rare on Earth’s surface but highly abundant in asteroids.

I do chafe a bit at being hit with music videos as a means of conveyance of important information. Music is fun, I love it. As I worked yesterday I played and replayed Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus. It’s amazing, but doesn’t penetrate intellectually. I don’t much truck with the King of Kings. But that piece of music … what an accomplishment!
The thing about music, and why it is so heavily managed by the overlords, is that it bypasses the editing function we all have in us, some better at it than others, to take words we hear (and numbers we see) and qualify them before accepting or rejecting. Music is a means of injecting information we might otherwise deflect away. Like, you know, “I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo”, aimed at kids.

I am commenting on the superstition behind certain numbers which can only be signaling …beyond 8,11 and 33 I know none. Once before the current age they used devices like Catcher in the Rye and yes, Wizard of Oz to signal fake events, as well as numbers. But gematria, assigning a number to each letter of the alphabet, adding up sentences, breaking every event down to minutia of numbers, is a bit like what was said of John Brown, that he would consult the stars looking for signals about what to do next. Of course he was a spook who faked his death along with Bleeding Kansas, but the point is that looking to make sense out of random signals is a bit obsessive. I’ll stick with 8, 11 and 33. (By the way, my birthday is 4/20, same as Hitler’s, and the 110th day of the year. Seeing an 11 there? I’m a spook, you’re a spook, everyone’s a spook spook.)

Here are some examples as to the “destruction of Germany”.
Quoted from the book Summer, 1945: Germany, Japan and the Harvest of Hate, by Thomas Goodrich
“The capital of the Third Reich is a heap of gaunt, burned-out, flame-seared buildings,” reported one of the first Allied correspondents to reach Berlin. “It is a desert of a hundred thousand dunes made up of brick and powdered masonry. . . . It is impossible to exaggerate in describing the destruction. . . . Downtown Berlin looks like nothing man could have contrived. . . . I did not see a single building where you could have set up a business of even selling apples.”1
Others who reached Berlin when the bombs stopped falling were likewise stunned by the almost total destruction. Block after block, mile after mile, as far as eyes could see and as far as legs could walk, there was no end to the ruins, ruins that once were one of the most gorgeous and glittering capitals on earth. But even more staggering to those who first viewed Berlin after the war was the total disbelief that anything calling itself “human” could still exist amid such utter ruin. “Seeing them you almost hope that they are not human,” admitted a visitor.2
But, and almost miraculously, there were humans yet living in Berlin. When the guns finally fell silent on May 8, 1945, these tattered and starved survivors crept from their cracks and caves, trying to flee a nightmare, they knew not where. “We clamber over bomb craters,” describes one woman trying to escape. “We squeeze through tangled barbed wire and hastily constructed barricades of furniture. It was with sofas that our army tried to block the Russian advance! . . . One could laugh if it didn’t rather make one feel like crying.”3
Tanks riddled with holes block the way. A pitiful sight, pointing their muzzles toward the sky. . . . Burned-out buildings left and right. . . . Behind a projection in a wall sits an old man. A pipe in his right hand, a lighter in his left. He is sitting in the sun, completely motionless. Why is he sitting so still? Why doesn’t he move at all? A fly is crawling across his face. Green, fat, shiny. Now it crawls into his eyes. The eyes . . . Oh God have mercy! Something slimy is dripping onto his cheeks. . . . At last the water tower looms up in the distance. We are at the cemetery. The gate to the mortuary is wide open. . . . Bodies, nothing but bodies. Laid out on the floor. Row after row, body after body. Children are among them, adults and some very old people. Brought here from who knows where. That draws the final line under five years of war. Children filling mortuaries and old men decomposing behind walls.4
What had taken the German race over two millennia to build, had taken its enemy a mere handful of years to destroy. When the fighting finally ended, the Great German Reich, which had been one of the most modern industrial giants in the world, lay totally, thoroughly and almost hopelessly, demolished. Germany, mused an American newsman drifting through the rubble, resembled nothing so much as it resembled “the face of the moon.”5
At Germany’s second largest city, Hamburg, what Philip Dark found likewise staggered the senses. It was, thought the soldier, “a city devastated beyond all comprehension. It was more than appalling. As far as the eye could see, square mile after square mile of empty shells of buildings with twisted girders scarecrowed in the air. . . .”6
And what Leonard Mosley saw when he reached Hanover epitomized the condition of all German cities at war’s end. Hanover, typed the British reporter, “looked like a wound in the earth rather than a city. As we came nearer, I looked for the familiar signs that I used too know, but . . . I could not recognize [them] anywhere. . . . The city was a gigantic open sore.”7
Just as in Berlin, to the shock and surprise of not only Dark and Mosley, but to the survivors as well, life actually existed among and under the seemingly sterile rock piles. Like cave-dwellers from the beginning of time, men, women and children slept, whispered, suffered, starved, cried, and died below the tons of jagged concrete, broken pipes and twisted metal. Other than being utterly destroyed, another feature shared by Hanover, Hamburg, Berlin, and every other German city was the nauseating stench that hung over them like a pall. “[E]verywhere,” remembered a witness, “came the putrid smell of decaying flesh to remind the living that thousands of bodies still remained beneath the funeral pyres of rubble.”8
“I’d often seen it described as ‘a sweetish smell’—but I find the word ‘sweetish’ imprecise and inadequate,” one survivor scribbled in her diary. “It strikes me not so much a smell as something solid, tangible, something too thick to be inhaled. It takes one’s breath away and repels, thrusts one back, as though with fists.”9
By their own tally of firebombing casualties, the British estimated that they had killed upwards of half a million German civilians. That some sources from the Dresden raid alone set the toll there at 300,000– 400,000 dead would suggest that the British figures were absurdly— and perhaps deliberately—low.10
Whatever the accurate figure, the facts are that few German families survived the war intact. Those who did not lose a father, a brother, a sister, a mother—or all the above— were by far the exception to the rule. In many towns and villages the dead quite literally outnumbered the living. For some, the hours and days following the final collapse was simply too much. Unwilling to live any longer in a world of death, misery and alien chaos, countless numbers took the ultimate step. “Thousands of bodies are hanging in the trees in the woods around Berlin and nobody bothers to cut them down,” a German pastor remarked. “Thousands of corpses are carried into the sea by the Oder and Elbe Rivers—one doesn’t notice it any longer.”11
For Germany, May 8, 1945 became known as “The Hour Zero”— the end of a nightmare and the beginning of a dark, uncertain future. Most assumed, no doubt, that awful though the coming weeks and months would be, the worst was nevertheless behind them. It seemed to these dazed and damaged people that nothing the future had to offer could match what they had suffered through in the past. But these people were wrong. The worst yet lay ahead. Though most of the shooting and bombing had indeed stopped, the war against Germany would continue unabated, forever if necessary, until the last German was dead. World War II was by far history’s most terrifying war, but what still lay ahead would prove, as Time magazine later phrased it, “History’s most terrifying peace.”12
