As a former Marine, today inevitably turned into a time for reflection, a time to think about "what might have been" - I had left the military in 1990, just weeks before Desert Shield (the buildup of troops for Desert Storm). Although I was fortunate, many of my comrades were not, which brings about a bittersweet sense of guilt, a longing to "do my part" after having been spared from combat.
With this in mind, I'd like to explore geo-politics and how that relates to the biology of belief. In this mixed up world of the 24-hour news cycle, the truth has become the biggest casualty in today's assault on the psyche. Having recently heard an interesting speech from Dr. Bruce Lipton, I'd appreciate the opportunity of showing how his ideas may relate to the world around us.
Dr. Lipton is a research scientist that was studying the cloning of cells when he came upon some startling conclusions regarding cellular biology. He asserts that we are machines made out of proteins, which move in response to signals, which are controlled by the membrane, which reads the signals and adjusts the body by sending signals out to the body (to respond to the environment). These environmental signals are an awareness of environment - which by definition is called "perception." But these signals may not be accurate, our brains are sometimes given false perceptions (also called beliefs). So in many cases we are not genetically controlled, we are controlled by beliefs (false perceptions). From the cellular level to the human level, this is the biology of life.
Now, before you start thinking "what does biology have to do with geo-politics," explore with me the possibility that these beliefs may indeed be the root cause of many of the problems facing America today. When you strip all the veneer off and peer at a globe, ask yourself if we are casting a shadow on our (global) neighbors? Then ask yourself did we really need to go to Vietnam or Afghanistan and Iraq. Or was it merely a perception that was put there by our government and mass media? Robert McNamara has already admitted that the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the spark that ignited the Vietnam War, never happened - it's what the military calls a false flag operation. Fast forward to 9/11, when we were sold lies regarding weapons of mass destruction and Iraqi involvement with Al-Qaeda, was anyone else wondering why we sent nuclear materials to Saudi Arabia (where 15 of the 19 hijackers came from) and started wars with Iraq and Afghanistan (where no hijackers resided)?
Now fast forward to Iran, where the saber rattling by the existing and proposed administrations is at a fevered pitch here in America. Notice how nobody ever mentions that the U.S. has been working to impede democracy in Iran since 1953, when we deposed their elected president and installed the Shah. Then in 1980, we sent Saddam (and Iraq) chemical and biological weapons for use against Iranians until 1989. Now, we point fingers at Iran, even as other nations around them (Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc.) are being armed to the teeth, in many cases by the United States. The government was recently caught red-handed after sending "experts" (former generals) to meet with Rumsfeld - then they parroted the talking points all over the mainstream media, word-for-word from the White House briefing in many cases. Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and many others are demonized in the American media when in point of fact their most unpardonable sin is economic freedom. The Federal Reserve system here in America, as well as the Bank Of England, are privately held entities whose owners have a vested interest in the New World Order and maintaining world economic control. From Zbigniew's "Grand Chess Board" to Huxley's Brave New World" to Quigley's "Tragedy and Hope," the name of the game is (and has been since the 19th century) social Darwinism - they use everything from preachers to foundations to universities to lobbies to campaign contributions and media exposure to maintain this biology of belief.
Dr. Lipton's discoveries can be applied to overcome or prolong many issues of life, from the natural process of entropy to developing a deeper understanding of things, his insight should help explain an important biological truth regarding the power of thoughts and words. After all, we as a species make up the human race, those little lines drawn on maps are merely that, lines drawn by rich bankers and psychopathic elitists. You might think we're in the Middle East for oil, and maybe we are, but remember that Nikola Tesla had devised a "free energy" device over a century ago but his research funding was stopped by JP Morgan, who wouldn't fund something of that significance unless it could be metered (and sold). The G.O.D. cartels (Gold/Money, Oil/Energy, Drugs/BigPharma) have their own agenda and senseless death and suffering will continue, but at least we can have an heightened sense of awareness and start spreading the truth. Maybe one day soon we'll be dropping Ramen Noodles to starving kids in Africa instead of dropping depleted uranium bombs on innocent Iraqi's.
One last thing to consider as America keeps deflating its own currency to foment wars abroad. No economic system using a fiat currency (like the U.S. uses) has ever survived, so if our economy ever tanks then we'll be at the mercy of the world while perched as the world's leader, ask yourself what kind of good will and brotherhood did we show the world, not just Israel?
