Harvard Gazette report on Tibetan monks who can heat up their bodies at will

Meditation changes temperatures:

Mind controls body in extreme experiments

In a monastery in northern India, thinly clad Tibetan monks sat quietly in a room where the temperature was a chilly 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a yoga technique known as g Tum-mo, they entered a state of deep meditation. Other monks soaked 3-by-6-foot sheets in cold water (49 degrees) and placed them over the meditators’ shoulders. For untrained people, such frigid wrappings would produce uncontrolled shivering.

If body temperatures continue to drop under these conditions, death can result. But it was not long before steam began rising from the sheets. As a result of body heat produced by the monks during meditation, the sheets dried in about an hour.

Attendants removed the sheets, then covered the meditators with a second chilled, wet wrapping. Each monk was required to dry three sheets over a period of several hours.

Why would anyone do this? Herbert Benson, who has been studying g Tum-mo for 20 years, answers that “Buddhists feel the reality we live in is not the ultimate one. There’s another reality we can tap into that’s unaffected by our emotions, by our everyday world. Buddhists believe this state of mind can be achieved by doing good for others and by meditation. The heat they generate during the process is just a by-product of g Tum-mo meditation.”

Benson is an associate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School and president of the Mind/Body Medical Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. He firmly believes that studying advanced forms of meditation “can uncover capacities that will help us to better treat stress-related illnesses.”

Benson developed the “relaxation response,” which he describes as “a physiological state opposite to stress.” It is characterized by decreases in metabolism, breathing rate, heart rate, and blood pressure. He and others have amassed evidence that it can help those suffering from illnesses caused or exacerbated by stress. Benson and colleagues use it to treat anxiety, mild and moderate depression, high blood pressure, heartbeat irregularities, excessive anger, insomnia, and even infertility. His team also uses this type of simple meditation to calm those who have been traumatized by the deaths of others, or by diagnoses of cancer or other painful, life-threatening illnesses.

“More than 60 percent of visits to physicians in the United States are due to stress-related problems, most of which are poorly treated by drugs, surgery, or other medical procedures,” Benson maintains.

The Mind/Body Medical Institute is now training people to use the relaxation response to help people working at Ground Zero in New York City, where two airplanes toppled the World Trade Center Towers last Sept. 11. Facilities have been set up at nearby St. Paul’s Chapel to aid people still working on clearing wreckage and bodies. Anyone else who feels stressed by those terrible events can also obtain help at the chapel. “We are training the trainers who work there,” Benson says.

The relaxation response involves repeating a word, sound, phrase, or short prayer while disregarding intrusive thoughts. “If such an easy-to-master practice can bring about the remarkable changes we observe,” Benson notes. “I want to investigate what advanced forms of meditation can do to help the mind control physical processes once thought to be uncontrollable.”

Breathtaking results

Some Westerners practice g Tum-mo, but it often takes years to reach states like those achieved by Buddhist monks. In trying to find groups he could study, Benson met Westerners who claimed to have mastered such advanced techniques, but who were, in his words, “fraudulent.”

Benson decided that he needed to locate a religious setting, where advanced mediation is traditionally practiced. His opportunity came in 1979 when the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet, visited Harvard University. “His Holiness agreed to help me,” recalls Benson. That visit was the beginning of a long friendship and several expeditions to northern India where many Tibetan monks live in exile.

During visits to remote monasteries in the 1980s, Benson and his team studied monks living in the Himalayan Mountains who could, by g Tum-mo meditation, raise the temperatures of their fingers and toes by as much as 17 degrees. It has yet to be determined how the monks are able to generate such heat.

The researchers also made measurements on practitioners of other forms of advanced meditation in Sikkim, India. They were astonished to find that these monks could lower their metabolism by 64 percent. “It was an astounding, breathtaking [no pun intended] result,” Benson exclaims.

To put that decrease in perspective, metabolism, or oxygen consumption, drops only 10-15 percent in sleep and about 17 percent during simple meditation. Benson believes that such a capability could be useful for space travel. Travelers might use meditation to ease stress and oxygen consumption on long flights to other planets.

In 1985, the meditation team made a video of monks drying cold, wet sheets with body heat. They also documented monks spending a winter night on a rocky ledge 15,000 feet high in the Himalayas. The sleep-out took place in February on the night of the winter full moon when temperatures reached zero degrees F. Wearing only woolen or cotton shawls, the monks promptly fell asleep on the rocky ledge, They did not huddle together and the video shows no evidence of shivering. They slept until dawn then walked back to their monastery.

Overcoming obstacles

Working in isolated monasteries in the foothills of the Himalayas proved extremely difficult. Some religious leaders keep their meditative procedures a closely guarded secret. Medical measuring devices require electrical power and wall outlets are not always available. In addition, trying to meditate while strangers attempt to measure your rectal temperature is not something most monks are happy to do.

To avoid these problems, Instructor in Psychology Sara Lazar, a Benson colleague, used functional magnetic resonance imaging to scan the brains of meditators at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The subjects were males, aged 22-45, who had practiced a form of advanced mediation called Kundalini daily for at least four years. In these experiments, the obstacles of cold and isolation were replaced by the difficulties of trying to meditate in a cramped, noisy machine. However, the results, published in the May 15, 2000, issue of the journal NeuroReport, turned out to be significant.

“Lazar found a marked decrease in blood flow to the entire brain,” Benson explains. “At the same time, certain areas of the brain became more active, specifically those that control attention and autonomic functions like blood pressure and metabolism. In short, she showed the value of using this method to record changes in the brain’s activity during meditation.”

The biggest obstruction in further studies, whether in India or Boston, has always been money. Research proceeded slowly and intermittently until February 2001, when Benson’s team received a $1.25 million grant from Loel Guinness, via the beer magnate’s Kalpa Foundation, established to study extraordinary human capacities.

The funds enabled researchers to bring three monks experienced in g Tum-mo to a Guinness estate in Normandy, France, last July. The monks then practiced for 100 days to reach their full meditative capacity. An eye infection sidelined one of the monks, but the other two proved able to dry frigid, wet sheets while wearing sensors that recorded changes in heat production and metabolism.

Although the team obtained valuable data, Benson concludes that “the room was not cold enough to do the tests properly.” His team will try again this coming winter with six monks. They will start practice in late summer and should be ready during the coldest part of winter.

Benson feels sure these attempts to understand advanced mediation will lead to better treatments for stress-related illnesses. “My hope,” he says, “is that self-care will stand equal with medical drugs, surgery, and other therapies that are now used to alleviate mental and physical suffering. Along with nutrition and exercise, mind/body approaches can be part of self-care practices that could save millions of dollars annually in medical costs.”

Asia Times profile & history of Bilderberg Group

THE ROVING EYE
Bilderberg strikes again

Pepe Escobar / Asia Times

“It would have been quite impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries …”
- David Rockefeller, Bilderberg club permanent member, 1991

This conversation never happened. Well, it actually did. Date: March 5 to 8, 2005. Location: the isolated, fully-booked Dorint Sofitel Seehotel Ueberfahrt in Rottach-Egern, 60 kilometers east of Munich, Germany. Essential amenities: luxury rooms, a lake, a golf course, no suits – and no wives. Participants: 120-odd Western movers and shakers – politicians, tycoons, bankers, captains of industry, so-called strategic thinkers – invited for the 2005 meeting of the ultra-secretive Bilderberg club. Security: absolutely draconian. Global media coverage: non-existent.

Talk about white man’s burden: Bilderberg is strictly “Western” elite, ie American-European. Bilderberg resolutely excludes Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. Bilderberg operates in strictly master of the universe territory: what we say goes. Only when events happen will corporate media report them, even though selected media people would have been aware of what has been decided weeks or even months in advance. The New York Times, the Big Three American networks, the Financial Times have all been represented at many Bilderbergs. But they are constrained by the silence of the lambs (see Asia Times Online’s report on Bilderberg 2003 in Versailles The masters of the universe May 22, 2003)

Bilderberg has an address – in Leiden, Holland – and even a phone number – always on female answering-machine mode. No website though. In an annual ritual, Bilderberg meeting places and agendas have to be painstakingly uncovered by a small group of independent sleuths like Briton Tony Gosling or American James Tucker – who has been following Bilderberg for 30 years. Tucker is publishing a book on Bilderberg later this year. Historian Pierre de Villemarest and journalist William Wolf have already published Facts and Chronicles Denied to the Public, volumes 1 and 2, which include a secret history of Bilderberg. Belgian sociologist Geoffrey Geuens from the University of Liege has also included a full chapter on Bilderberg in one of his books. Although Geuens condemns Bilderberg’s obsessive secrecy, he does not subscribe to conspiracy theories: he prefers to study how Bilderberg unmasks the way power works and the incestuous relations between politics, economics and the media.

Whenever corporate media approaches Bilderberg it mirrors the silence of the lambs. In 2005, the Financial Times released a classic pre-emptive story downplaying what it qualifies as conspiracy theories. In fact, anyone who questions the most powerful club in the world is derided as a conspiracy theorist. Bilderbergers like British lords or American policy-makers meekly justify it as “just a place to discuss ideas”, an innocent “forum” where anyone can “speak frankly”, and other assorted cliches.

Bilderberger Etienne Davignon, a former vice president of the European Commission, adamantly stresses “this is not a capitalist plot to run the world”. Thierry de Montbrial, director of the French Institute of International Relations and a Bilderberg member for almost 30 years, says this is only “a club”. The official Bilderberg 2002 press release, for instance, said that “Bilderberg’s only activity is its annual conference. At the meetings, no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken and no policy statements issued.” Bilderberg is just “a small flexible, informal and off-the-record international forum in which different viewpoints can be expressed and mutual understanding enhanced”. This is, in fact, what the much-lauded “trans-Atlantic relationship” is all about.

Members only
The Bilderberg group – which took its name from a Dutch hotel – was founded in 1954 by Prince Bernhard from the Netherlands. German-born Bernhard was a card-carrying Nazi and member of the SS. As it is well-known, Prescott Bush was an officer of W A Harriman & Co, which financed Adolf Hitler and the Nazis with the help of Averell Harriman and German tycoon Fritz Thyssen. Alden Hatch wrote a biography of Prince Bernhard where he insists that Bilderberg was the cradle of the European Community – later rebranded European Union. He describes Bilderberg’s ultimate goal as a one-world government.

Bilderberg’s membership is heavily crossed with the Council on Foreign Relations, the Pilgrims Society, the Trilateral Commission and the famous “Round Table” – a British, Oxford-Cambridge elite group crystallized in the homonymous journal of empire founded in 1910. The Round Table – which also denied its existence as a formal group – called for a more efficient form of global empire so that Anglo-American hegemony could be extended throughout the 20th century.

Bilderberg regulars include Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller (of JP Morgan’s International Council), Nelson Rockefeller, Prince Philip of Great Britain, Robert McNamara (J F Kennedy’s secretary of defense and former president of the World Bank), Margaret Thatcher, former French president (and main redactor of the EU constitution) Valery Giscard D’Estaing, US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and the chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan. The Rothschild family has hosted many Bilderbergs. In 1962 and 1973, on the island resort of Saltsjobaden, Sweden, the hosts were the Wallenberg banking family.

Some of these masters control more of the universe than others. They are the members of the steering committee, which includes Josef Ackermann (Deutsche Bank), Jorma Ollila (Nokia), Jeurgen Schrempp (DaimlerChrysler), Peter Sutherland (former North Atlantic Treaty Organization – NATO – general and now with Goldman Sachs), James Wolfensohn (the outgoing World Bank president) and the “Prince of Darkness” Richard Perle. Iraq war conceptualist and incoming World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz is a also a Bilderberg permanent member. George W Bush happened to be in the neighborhood – the Netherlands, for the World War II commemorations – during Bilderberg 2005. He may have dropped in. Bush did meet Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, who must be present at every Bilderberg.

To whose advantage?
Bilderberg certainly is not an executive council. British economist Will Hutton may have gotten closer to the truth when he said that the consensus reached at each Bilderberg meeting “is the backdrop against which policy is made worldwide”. What Bilderberg decides can be expected to be later implemented by a G-8 meeting, and International Monetary Fund and World Bank decisions.

No matter what, for innumerable, serious critics in Europe as well as the US, Bilderberg is everything from a Zionist plot to a megalomaniac secret cult. Serbs, not without some reason, blamed Bilderberg for the 1999 Balkan war and the fall of Slobodan Milosevic: after all, the US needed to control vital, Balkan pipeline routes. Bilderberg 2002 – although not without controversy – is thought to have cemented the invasion and conquest of Iraq. In his seminal A Century of War: Anglo-American oil politics and the New World War, F William Engdahl details what happened at Bilderberg 1973 in Sweden. An American outlined a scenario for an imminent 400% hike in the oil prices of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Bilderberg did not prevent the oil shock; instead it planned how to manage with mega-profits – what Kissinger described as “recycling the petrodollar flows”. Everyone that mattered was present at this Bilderberg: oil majors and major banks. Engdahl’s conclusion:

What the powerful men grouped around Bilderberg had evidently decided that May was to launch a colossal assault against industrial growth in the world, in order to tilt the balance of power back to the advantage of Anglo-American financial interests and the dollar. In order to do this, they determined to use their most prized weapon – control of the world’s oil flows. Bilderberg policy was to trigger a global oil embargo, in order to force a dramatic increase in world oil prices. Since 1945, world oil had by international custom been priced in dollars, since American oil companies dominated the post-war market. A sudden sharp increase in the world price of oil, therefore, meant an equally dramatic increase in world demand for US dollars to pay for that necessary oil.

Saudi petrodollars then moved to the “right” banks in London in New York to finance US government deficits. Game, set, match to Bilderberg – where the mandarins of global finance always win.

Plutocracy international
Although not a single word uttered inside the Bilderberg vaults is allowed to reach public opinion, it’s possible to take an educated guess as to what they’re talking about. Last week, the ubiquitous Kissinger started the proceedings by illuminating the meaning of “freedom” – the Bush version. Natan Sharansky, Bush’s democratic guru, was a participant.

Issues that would logically have interested Bilderberg 2005 include the role of NATO and the necessary approval in 2005 of the European constitution by all 25 members of the EU – the consequences of a French “no” in the upcoming May 29 referendum to approve the constitution need to be considered. Widespread job outsourcing in Europe to the Ukraine, China and India may sound the death knell to the constitution: French protesters – who have awakened the German and the Dutch – are insisting that what is good for big corporations may not be necessarily good for Western European workers. Critics say that chapter III of the constitution in fact details the way free trade may effectively kill the European welfare state.

They have their reasons to be concerned. In his book The Great Chessboard, Bilderberger Zbigniew Brzezinski hails “a Western Europe … staying in a large measure an American protectorate”. Brzezinski also insists that “Europe has to solve the problem caused by its social redistribution system”, which “prevents European initiative”. The father of the European constitution is none other than Bilderberger Valery Giscard d’Estaing, who happens to be very close to Kissinger.

From a geopolitical perspective, the heart of the whole matter is that the constitution legally confirms that Europe cannot have a defense force apart from NATO, ie outside the control of the US. Bilderberg beliefs would point to only one direction: an ever-expanding, US-controlled NATO, an ever-eastward-expanding EU, mass delocalization, mass corporate profits and unchallenged US military supremacy. No wonder this is the focus of a bitter debate inside EU corridors in Brussels, where scores of diplomats and commission officials openly complain of Washington’s bullying and accuse their governments of selling out. Gunther Verheugen, the European commissioner in charge of expanding the EU, happens to be a Bilderberger. When members of the European Commission go to a Bilderberg, their travel expenses and their daily allowance is provided by the commission. This certainly disqualifies Bilderberg’s self-presentation as a “private club”.

Bilderberg 2005 has – coincidentally? – merged with Bush’s tour among his Baltic friends and the tense meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The containment of Russia was likely top of the agenda for Bilderberg. Russia is very much worried about its “near abroad” and sees no reason to remove its army from bases in Georgia or its navy from Sebastopol, in Ukrainian Crimea – no matter how many color-coded revolutions happen at its doorstep.

European Commission sources assure that Brzezinski remains an extremely influential figure. The Bilderberg discussion on the control of Eurasia still refers to The Grand Chessboard. Washington is such an avid cheerleader of Turkey’s accession to the EU because this means increased American influence near the Caspian and over the eastern Mediterranean. And it also works towards the containment of Iran, Russia and China – which, according to Brzezinski, may not be allowed to emerge as rival powers to the US in Eurasia.

Another contentious issue that must have occupied the minds of those at Bilderberg 2005 is preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon – this is just a detail: the point is how to prevent Iran from becoming a first-rate Eurasian power. Some in Brussels do not discount the possibility of a scenario of massive propaganda buildup to try to convince American and European public opinion of the necessity of a strike against Iran. How to force Beijing to appreciate the yuan must also have been a topic.

The try for another notch on the Illuminati belt – The attempted suppression of Usenet

by Stefan Fobes

A couple of days ago computer and tech news site Ars Technica reported that Comcast, in response to pressure from New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, has decided to stop offering Usenet through its Comcast newsgroups service.

Comcast has become the latest ISP to shut down access to Usenet newsgroups as part of a voluntary agreement to try and fight child porn online. Users of the ISP giant found themselves unable to access Comcast’s newsgroups over the weekend, and the company has posted a notice on its web site saying that its newsgroup service has been discontinued.

Comcast, along with 17 other cable providers across the US, first announced that it would no longer offer Usenet access to subscribers in July of this year. The voluntary measures were part of an agreement among the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA), the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), and the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) in order to take part in an “industry-wide attack on child pornography.”

The cable providers that made the pact cover 87 percent of US homes, so this is no small agreement—everyone from Comcast to Time Warner to Cox has signed on. Additionally, Verizon announced that it was going to block access to the entire alt.* hierarchy in June, and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger asked members of the California Internet Service Provider Association to consider blocking newsgroups that contain child porn as well.

Well, what the frig is this?? The government has never been serious about stopping large scale child abuse and porn. Hell, even adult forced prostitution is an issue that is relegated to the back of the closet. People who have come forward claiming that they’ve been ritually abused or had their children taken by satanic cults frequently express their frustration at the fact that the FBI does not compile any statistics whatsoever on missing children. You’d think the situation would be the opposite with all the milk cartons and stuff, right? Mmm mmm…

The cornerstone of any dictatorship is the suppression of free expression, because it must be controlled as a preventative to cut off avenues to all who want to exercise their full range of human rights. I wrote an article back in June about Internet2 and how it ties into just this. The mirror images of the same agenda are on the table wherever we go. A few months ago, Marianne Mikko, an Estonian member of the European Union Parliament was met with an avalanche of criticism after she proposed, in effect, an EU blogger registry. Now the proposal is a full fledged bill which will be voted upon tomorrow. They say it is not legally binding, but if that is true, and this legislation will be toothless and the issue will not move or go anywhere after that, then why waste time and money carrying this motion out? The article here includes a reference to a leaked European Union internal memo which reads like it came out of the Bush White House.

Thursday’s vote in the European Parliament is not legally binding but is an indicator of growing EU concern over the influence of blogs on the internet.

A recent internal European Commission report, leaked three weeks ago, found that the EU was losing the battle for hearts and minds online.

“Blog activity remains overwhelmingly negative,” it said.

They use the same language because it is the same agenda orginiating from the same source. Every year, at a fancy hotel such as the Brookstreet back in June in Chantilly, Virginia, world heads of state, captains of industry, bankers, Fortune 500 CEOs, top journalists of mainstream publications, and widely respected centerpieces of academia meet in private to discuss things which, by house rules and in their own words, are traditionally not allowed to reported to anyone, not even the journalists attending. In their press official release given to all major news organizations, titled Bilderberg Announces 2008 Conference, they lay out all the topics they’re going to discuss. These included: nuclear free world, cyber terrorism, Africa, Russia, finance, protectionism, US-EU relations, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Islam and Iran.

Within two weeks of the meet, several out of the blue and unprecedented scenarios developed.

  • A hacker group calling itself NetDevilz defaced the websites of the organizations overseeing critical Net infrastructure.
  • White European Al Qaeda was reported by ABC News and several other media outlets to be training in Pakistan.
  • North Korea agreed to dim down its nuclear program, a total 180 from its previous rigid stance on the matter. This was actually agreed to in late 2007, but still North Korea was put up as a bogeyman for months after that, and only put up on TV screens and the wires wide scale aas happening within two weeks after all these people met in Virginia.
  • An article by the Toronto Star was put out about Pakistan training the Taliban.
  • Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe was called out on the world stage about his vote fraud for the first time in two+ decades.
  • A New York Times report circulated about Taliban infiltrating Afghan villages and taking them over, even though the Afghan police said all was uneventful there (have to scroll down near the bottom).

All these things happening right after these people, who are in all the positions needed to issue out the orders to people that determine the course of our daily lives? I see the logic in calling me a conspiracy theorist, but never will I stand for being called a coincidence theorist!

Bush’s White House strategy guide for winning the war on terror says terrorism springs from: “cultures of conspiracy and misinformation” What was it that Bush said about September 11th?

We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty. To inflame ethnic hatred is to advance the cause of terror.

The war against terror must not serve as an excuse to persecute ethnic and religious minorities in any country. Innocent people must be allowed to live their own lives, by their own customs, under their own religion. And every nation must have avenues for the peaceful expression of opinion and dissent. When these avenues are closed, the temptation to speak through violence grows.

Another reason why police and military are being armed to the teeth. If this goes on unchecked, people will feel pressured, cry revolution, and be killed, because they would be operating on and thus interacting with the same level of consciousness as these people who run the levers of society with our consent. It has to be mass noncooperation because it is with our cooperation that all this is sustained. How many times will it take for everyone being told by these people on shows and interviews that government only exists by the consent of the governed till the message sticks? It’s not just a buzzword, folks. It’s for real.

These guys running things always encode in their statements and speeches a style of code that they use. Bush & crew say the terrorists want to take away our freedoms. Which makes no sense, because I thought the official story was they were trying to kill the great satan, not enslave us, like is being slowly done through all the “antiterrorism” legislation which only seems to be applied against the citizens and not proven terrorists. The starategy guide also says, “Indeed, the terrorists are emboldened more by perceptions of weakness than by demonstrations of resolve. Terrorists lure recruits by telling them that we are decadent, easily intimidated, and will retreat if attacked.” I say, isn’t this exactly what Americans and increasingly many other societies across the world have been reduced to by Illuminati owned Madison Avenue, which programs young girls to believe that a cold existence where men want their company not for their personalities, but for their bodies is desirable? And turns men into strutting pansy peacocks who hop from club to club, their crowning achievements in life only being getting into the next party or party girl.

A blogger registry is only a small piece of it. Jeff Chester of the Nation reveals another integral piece of the plan.

Verizon, Comcast, Bell South and other communications giants are developing strategies that would track and store information on our every move in cyberspace in a vast data-collection and marketing system, the scope of which could rival the National Security Agency. According to white papers now being circulated in the cable, telephone and telecommunications industries, those with the deepest pockets–corporations, special-interest groups and major advertisers–would get preferred treatment. Content from these providers would have first priority on our computer and television screens, while information seen as undesirable, such as peer-to-peer communications, could be relegated to a slow lane or simply shut out.

Under the plans they are considering, all of us–from content providers to individual users–would pay more to surf online, stream videos or even send e-mail. Industry planners are mulling new subscription plans that would further limit the online experience, establishing “platinum,” “gold” and “silver” levels of Internet access that would set limits on the number of downloads, media streams or even e-mail messages that could be sent or received.

To computer users It seemed awfully strange finding out the news of Comcast’s announcement of a set 250 gigabyte bandwith cap on internet usage starting October 1, because 250 gigabytes is a hell of a lot of bandwith. They say they are doing it to stop spam, but is that really believable, seeing the info I’ve set forth?

The plan is for everyone with an internet connection be traced and tracked through an Internet ID card, physical or digital, operating on the same principles as the OpenID system and the Information Card Foundation’s I-Card where you have a digital card which stores all your info on a database, with the bait being that you can sign in to a slew of social networking and email and other sites with just a single click. This will evolve into a single world ID card which you will be taxed through, not be able to fly, work, buy, sell, or carry out any transaction without. It is fast approaching and it is happening. Civil libertarians are moving like tigers to prevent national ID cards being imposed in the US and Britain.

One of the original guys behind the creation of the Internet system, David Clark, is working under a grant from the government agency, the National Science Foundation to create a whole new Internet architecture to replace the one that you are hooked into right now. This system will better accomodate and help Internet2 function with ease, compared to the one in place now.

This isn’t a time to say oh those stupid Americans or Dutch or whichever other genetic mix is going to take it good, and laugh. Even Israel, a perfect example of that, will soon have a national ID card with biometric data including a thumbprint and computerized for its own citizens. All about control of humanity. “Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter told the government that the “need to create a unique (physical) bond between the person carrying an ID and the data which appears on it, is essential in order to fight the worldwide forgeries… Should we succeed we would be able to create a nationwide database controlled, as it should be, by the State.” It does not matter what you look like, or what nationalistic “us against them, we’re the best” etc, lie you have been fed. That’s all meant to pacify you and keep you following the specific aspects of the Illuminati agenda for your area.

I wrote in another article on this subject, Bilderberg Strikes Again: Hackers, the Net, blondes and the European war on freedom that this is all done out of desperation and fear. More people are coming to alternative media sites like this than ever, because for some reason, some say an Existence-wide spiritual awakening, others say it’s the world getting a wider range of views due to the Internet, people are beginning to see how they are being manipulated and are stirring from the long sleep, moving away slowly but surely away from the psychological control systems that have been put in place to steer minds from birth to grave. Some writing and reading this type of info are depressed, thinking we aren’t having an effect. Well, just look around! LA Times, Reuters, New York Times blogs. RSS feeds. Comments boxes on their articles. It is well understood now, as this PBS piece cries, that the mainstream media must evolve or die. Soon, in the days before the new paradise Earth to come, this global elite will have to move strategically back and back and back again and again and again, that one day they will be the ones who will wake up and wonder how they got in the prison cell. But this ain’t a one day Hollywood type battle and there’s a lot of work to be done everywhere. They control so many areas of society and their minions are operating even as I write this in places you would not believe such as churches, hospitals, art galleries, schools, nightclubs, the courts. Just because you can’t make video or write as well as you’d like to doesn’t mean you can’t expose them. If someone in prison can think up a way to kill even after all known tools of death have been taken out of their reach then anyone who is not can certainly think up a way to expose this agenda peacefully, even though it may take some serious introspection and mindwork. Get creative, not violent.

Sir Laurence Gardner & William F. Buckley Jr, Reptilian Shape-Shifters?

From – http://educate-yourself.org/cn/laurencegardnershapeshifter.shtml

IS THIS TRUE, SIR LAURENCE?

New claims that Sir Laurence Gardner is a shape-shifter who takes part in human sacrifice rituals

by DAVID ICKE

Many people were understandably shocked and skeptical when Arizona Wilder claimed in the video, Revelations of a Mother Goddess, that Sir Laurence Gardner, the author and head of the ancient Royal Court of the Dragon Sovereignty, was a shape-shifting reptilian who took part in Satanic human sacrifice rituals she had witnessed.

Nexus Magazine, and its publisher, Duncan Roads, have been particularly scathing of these claims. Hardly surprising, when Sir Laurence Gardner has been massively promoted by Roads and his magazine.

But now the author and lecturer, Stewart Swerdlow, says that he also witnessed human sacrifice and blood drinking rituals at the Montauk mind control centre on Long Island, New York, in which Sir Laurence Gardner played a major role.

Swerdlow is the author of five books, The Montauk Project: The Alien Connection; The Healers Handbook; As You Sow, So You Shall Reap; Healing of the Mind; and The White Owl Legend. He says he was a victim of the now extensively documented mind control operation at Montauk Point from the age of 14 in the early seventies. He was one of the so-called “Montauk Boys”.

He has never named names before, but has now chosen to talk to me about his experience of Sir Laurence, who has gained fame in recent years on the New Age and Holy Grail “circuit” for his books claiming that the Merovingian bloodline is the bloodline of Jesus. His best known works are Bloodlines of the Holy Grail and the Genesis of the Grail Kings: The Explosive Story of Genetic Cloning and the Ancient Bloodline of Jesus.

Merovingian Bloodline

I have most strongly contended in my own books and talks that this claim about the bloodline of “Jesus” is a diversion from the fact that the “Holy Grail” or Merovingian bloodline is a key reptilian bloodline from which vast numbers of people in royal, political, economic, religious, and military power today, genetically descend. It is the desire to maintain this reptilian genetic structure which has led to the obsessive interbreeding for aeons to the present day of the “elite” families.

Sir Laurence himself calls these “Holy Grail” bloodlines the “dragon” bloodlines, but claims that this term derives from the use of crocodile fat in the royal ceremonies of ancient Egypt. I would contend that the word “dragon” has a much more fundamental meaning than that. These bloodlines, which have invariably ended up in the positions of power since pre-history, have a much more dominant reptilian genetic code which has resulted from interbreeding thousands of years ago between a reptilian race (the “Serpent” race of endless legend) and the mammal-dominated bloodlines which we call “human”.

Sir Laurence claims that the dragon bloodline, which he connects to the House of Stewart, has the right to the British throne and indeed that these bloodlines have the right to rule in general. According to him the senior legitimate descendant in this line is HRH Prince Michael Stewart, Count of Albany, although the background to this guy is being increasingly questioned and there are claims that he has invented the title.

Sir Laurence also talks in positive terms about the drinking of menstrual blood, or “Starfire”, which, interestingly, was the Illuminati code name of Arizona Wilder, the “Mother Goddess” who conducted sacrificial rituals for the Illuminati in a mind-controlled state (See Revelations of a Mother Goddess and The Biggest Secret). You can read at length what Sir Laurence is claiming on this link:
(Starfire Article: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Congress/2301/starfirec.html)

In my view it is classic disinformation or what I call gin and tonic with a twist. A great deal of truth, spun with the idea that these dragon bloodlines are not literally reptilian and are, instead, the genetic stream of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. In an article in Nexus Magazine, he acknowledges that ancient legends said these lines were literally shape-shifting reptilians, but in an obvious swipe at The Biggest Secret, he says that it is astonishing in these more enlightened times that anyone can still believe it.

Sorry, Sir Laurence, the evidence will overwhelm you and is already beginning to do so.

Laurence Gardner has quite a CV: Chancellor of the Royal Court of the Dragon Sovereignty, which first emerged in Egypt in around 2,200BC and is now based in Britain; Prior of the Celtic Church’s Sacred Kindred of St Columba, and an “internationally known sovereign and chivalric genealogist” Chevalier Labhran de Saint Germain, “Presidential Attache to the European Council of Princes – a constitutional advisory body established in 1946″ formally attached to the Noble Household Guard of the Royal House of Stewart, founded at St German-enLaye in 1692, and is the Jacobite Historiographer Royal.

According to Arizona Wilder and now Stewart Swerdlow, however, Sir Laurence Gardner has other duties also. Here I am going to outline in Swerdlow’s own words what he says his experiences have been of Sir Laurence, and indeed William F. Buckley Jr., the head of the elite Janus mind control operation based at NATO headquarters in Belgium:

Stewart Swerdlow told me:

” When I was at Montauk between 1970 and 1983, I started out there at a very low level. I was not supposed to survive. It was only later when they saw that I was living when I shouldn’t have been that they told me that less than one per cent of the experimented children survived. And of that one per cent very few made it into society.

Not that I claim to function well in society, because I really don’t, but, however, I am doing better than other people are as far as survivors are concerned.

And you should understand that the ceremonies that were conducted at Montauk were very occasional. In other words they would occur at certain times of the year. And they would bring in people that were not usually there, one of whom was William F. Buckley, and one of the other ones was someone who I didn’t know his name. We didn’t know the names, usually.

It wasn’t until years later that I saw a picture of Gardner and I realised it was him. It was quite a shock to me that here was this man who performed heinous ceremonies with me and there he was on this video I was watching, which, by the way, was made by Duncan Roads (a Nexus video). This was quite a shock to me. He was promoting as the “truth” the bloodline of the Holy Grail and the Jesus connection and all that stuff which is all diversion. All religion is artificial.

In the ceremony they would have sacrifices and during the bloodletting, especially if there were infants involved, these beings would change into a reptilian form. And the interesting thing about it is that there would be this yellow-green slime residue after the ceremonies. It would be on my body and on the altars and on the flooring. I have also since found it on my children as well, which is disturbing to me.

During the ceremony Gardner would be the one that would actually take over from the Mother Goddess. There was also a male counterpart to the Mother Goddess and he (Gardner) would actually take a blade from the male figure and he would plunge it into the infants body. And then he would, having shifted into reptilian form, he would devour the intestinal body of the infant.

To be quite honest I hate remembering these things. They are very disturbing to me. To this day I can’t be around blood or anything reptilian. The blood sacrifice is very, very, disturbing to me.

My memory of that person (Gardner) started in about 1973 and went to 1980. It happened about three times a year that I would see him at the Montauk rituals. His face was the same, but his hair was darker and he was a bit thinner than he looks now.

I remember his face and the attitude…he has very powerful eyes and that is what I would focus on during the ceremony, was the eyes. And that is how some of the energy was transferred between us and them.

(When Stewart Swerdlow wrote about this, without naming names, in his autobiography, he was threatened, he says, and so were his children. He was jailed at one stage, also, by the government.)

Gardner would come in with a lot of pomp and ceremony. He would wear a kind of purple-violet robe and was naked underneath it. And then soon as he would shape-shift, the robe would come off and they placed a gold crown on his head. And the crown had what looked like an amber and a ruby, alternate stones all the way around.

William F. Buckley Jr. (the American publisher who heads the elite Janus mind control project at NATO headquarters) was the most awful of all of them. Quite honestly he used his teeth a lot. He used to bite a lot. He got pleasure out of hurting people by biting them after he shape-shifted. To this very day I have an aversion to that kind of thing.

In his shape-shifted form, Gardner was like a whitish-grey colour and had a very pointed back of his head. His eyes were kind of elongated, but not so reptilian, it was almost like they were a cross between human and reptilian. But dark, like a dark, golden brown. And he was not very tall, he was only about six-foot when he shifted.

Buckley was taller, he was around seven feet when he shifted, and he had a split in his crown, in other words it looked like horns instead of the top of his head. And he was rounder, more of a greenish white colour.

You see we were indoctrinated a lot at Montauk. We were told that there were seven levels of the reptilian race and the heirarchy of them were very similar to the Hindu caste system. So there were accordingly different shapes that occurred. The lower levels never really shifted, they were the little worker drones, if you want to call it that. The top of the line, the Brahmin-type, were very tall and winged (the Draco I talk about in the Biggest Secret and Credo Mutwa describes in The Reptilian Agenda videos).

SHAPESHIFTING

There are locked sequences and open sequences in DNA. Open sequences manifest physically as a characteristic. These people have the ability to lock off certain genetic codings while they open others. When that happens there is a literal transformation of the cellular structure, which changes from a mammalian to a reptilian form. So it’s not like the human form goes anywhere, it just shifts, it changes into a reptilian form because those sequences are opened. They also have the ability to shift it back.

But they do need mammalian hormonal levels in order to maintain the human form. Their base-line form is reptilian. (Princess Diana’s confidant, Christine Fitzgerald, told me that the House of Windsor wanted to interbreed with Diana’s genes because they were in danger of becoming too reptilian in their genetics and would not have been able to maintain a human form for many more generations – see The Biggest Secret) .

All humans on this planet have reptilian DNA. That’s why we have the reptilian brain. Just watch a foetus in the womb and you’ll see it go through a reptilian form before it becomes human. And that’s what they are doing. They are able to shift that DNA back to the reptilian form and manifest that physically.

However, when they do that their psychic abilities are not very strong and that’s why they have the ceremonies and why they need a mammalian form with the human harmonics in order to access higher levels of awareness. (This is why people like Arizona Wilder are mind controlled to conduct the ceremonies for them).

It is the resonance or the vibration of the blood, which creates an energetic field that they can access. And they get plugged into it. That’s why infants and foetuses are so important to them, because it’s so energetic and so pure that they can really access the switching from one point to another very easily.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The reptilians were the first ones to colonize this planet. That’s why they consider it theirs. When this other group, a more human form came and colonized, and there were battles here, the human form actually won on the surface and the reptilians went underground and that’s where the rumours of hell and stuff came from. That was about 200,000 years ago. It’s not as recent as people think.

The original reptilians are coming back, they are here now, and the ones who remained on this planet developed their own little sub-culture, which went against what the overall plan was. And now they’re afraid of their own people. There’s a lot of scurrying around, if you want to call it that, to protect against the original population that’s coming back and there’s going to be a gigantic battle on this planet in the next few years. I think there’s going to be war and the human-reptilian hybrids that are here are going to defend themselves against the originals, the true-breds.

This planet does not have any greatness to it, in or of itself, it’s the location it has within the galaxy and the location it has within inter-dimensional travel that makes it so desirable. That’s why this place is so important.”

So make of all that what you will. If Sir Laurence Gardner has any reply to what Stewart Swerdlow is saying, please send it to this website and I will make sure that every word is printed with equal prominence.
