Peak Oil and Eating Fossil Fuels

Posted by Jahrun Chilam Balam

Well, here it is folks, the long anticipated arrival of 2012, and lots is happening around the world: phenomenal reflections external to us, yet inevitably coming from manifestations and processes that are internal to us as individuals. A synergistic collective of I's having vastly different degrees of empathy, ego, and ultimtely, chosen actions or inactions.


Way back at the end of 2003, I discovered an article titled "Eating Fossil Fuels" by Dale Allen Pfeiffer on www.fromthewilderness.com - a website then operated actively by Michael Ruppert. Shortly afterward, Ruppert was set-up by his then girlfriend, his office was ransacked, his equipment was destroyed, and so was his health. Ruppert left the country to find primitive amnesty and left his website pretty much as it was then. He has since returned to the U.S. and has produced "Collapse", what some might call a docu-drama invterview movie, featuring Michael Ruppert. You might be able to watch it here: 



Clearly, this article that I share with you here had a profound effect on Ruppert, as well as the power elite organizations who were becoming upset because they want the public to remain asleep to the grave truths concerning the intimate relationship of population-food-water-oil and the shortages that are suddenly here. Worse yet, the media has stimulated arguments, staged on both sides of the issues, in order to keep people bickering, as if over a pro wrestling match. Whatever works to get people's attention to continue imprisoning them. Hopefully this information can help to free you a little more.

I have read Dale Pfeiffer's Eating Fossil Fuels article several times over the years since, and I read it again most recently last week and spent this last week reading and reviewing charts, presentations and lecture content. I finally got my whole awareness around it. I always understood the implications from a pragmatic perspective. I got my head around it from the start, and in many ways has been used as a key factor in my desicions to restructure my life and find safe haven to preserve my genes and memes. But only now, a real permeating fractal has beamed into me, the Big Picture tying all of the other world events, truth movements, wars, militarization, growing police state, FEMA Camps fracking (hydraulic coal-seam gas fracturing), Alberta tar sands, offshore drilling, financial scams, GMO's, land grabs, media and Internet control, chemtrails, vaccines, fluoride, and countless eugenics programs, HAARP, expansion of microwave networks, mind and emotion control, well and of course the media and their TV, TV and more TV. Ever travel to 3rd world countries where people have practically nothing except cell phones and TVs mounted at the top of every wall, where they stand mouth agape.


In an upcoming video on my Inside Jah Vimeo channel (and YouTube), and particularly for those aspiring to the expansion of consciousness, I plan to discuss an excitingly positive overlay to all the frightening lines on all those charts, like Net Hubbard Curve, Oil Well Depletion, Population Growth, Oil Demand Growth, Water Depletion, Grain Deficits, Food Costs, and Time. We're in a lot of trouble folks. Experts are saying things like "The party's over." and "We're toast." Not sure of the title for my video yet, since my original idea has greatly expanded and infiltrated the density of the matrix since while living in my PJs this last week, researching and contemplating. So please subscribe and you'll receive the notice when I post it. In the meanwhile, please take some time to review the article and some of the recommended resources below.


One might really stop to wonder why major grassroots pundits, like Alex Jones, for instance, are not shouting about this? Thank goodness for Vandana Shiva, Chris Martenson, Lester Brown, Nicole Foss, Lidsey Williams, James Howard Kunstler, Bill McKibben and a host of others who are speaking clearly and intelligibly on these critical central issues.

What Children Eat at School

Posted by Jahrun Chilam Balam

Written by Jahrun Chilam Balam 2010.04.19


A quick journal entry... from the field...

There is an elementary school across the street here in Ballston Spa. They have a small community recycling drop that includes a giant covered dumpster for cardboard and paper, where the school also dumps its things. Nearly each school day, I watch a man with a hand truck,  wheeling broken-down boxes to the dumpster. So naturally, when I needed a few boxes this morning, I went over there and discovered what most of the boxes had contained: styrofoam lunch trays and all manner of disposable plastic and food-related products from Sysco, Tyson Chicken Chunks, Tyson Turkey Tenders, Tony's Smart Pizzas, cheese steaks, apple turnovers and on, and on.

Do you know that heating, microwaving, preparation and serving of hot foods on Styrofoam and other plastics causes release of massive amounts of xenoestrogens, dioxins and PCB carcinogens that transfers into the food, especially foods having fats and oils? How does this affect the health of children eating these lunches at school 5 days each week? What are most children eating at school? Where does it come from? What are your children eating at school? Why do parents create the illusion of animals, and primarily farm animals, as being cute? Why do parents cutesify them only to force the eating of animals? What exactly are adults teaching their children? What rights do animals have? Are we not firstly animals? What makes us different? What rights do children have? What rights should children have?

As it turns out, children today and historically have had very few active rights. Today, parents have them repeatedly injected with what exactly? Parents feed them with? Parents wipe their anus and genitals with astringent alcohols and carcinogenic chemicals and can't figure-out why they have chronic rash or asthmas. Parents tightly swaddle them in highly toxic and genital-stunting disposable diapers until they are three or four or even five years old. Parents powder and smear them with toxic and irritating "personal care" products. But parents not paying attention. Parents believe labels that tout "Safe for Kids!" People demean children when people refer to children "kids". Parents fatten them up on pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, doughnuts, candy and sugar cereals. Parents dress children and their beds in a sousing melange of toxic laundry substances. Parents spray toxic chemicals in their houses and on the lawn where they crawl. Parents have toxic plug-in synthetic fragrance bombs that dull their minds and sense of smell. Parents further debilitate their natural curiosity for exploration by keeping them in the house out of fear. Parents keep them from experiencing and knowing nature. Parents plug them into electronic games and televisions. Parents distract them with sports and fashions. Parents do everything to stupefy and poison them. Parents do everything to keep them from discovering that there is any other possible concept to living other than what the parents are robotically doing themselves. Are you a parent?

But children do have the present right to hold on to and remember the truths they know and witness as children. They have the successive right to overthrow parents, to overthrow parents self-righteous and belligerent will to remaining ignorant, to overthrow the mechanized ways parents spend their days in the noise of self-perpetuated madness that parents call culture that parents call their "job", and that parents shamefully think of as family and life. The children have the successive right to overthrow parents and their denial of what is truly going on in the world around parents, to overthrow the pain and poisoning they are creating for them and the planet. Children have the successive right to make choices that actually resemble caring and being - unlike parents' madness of daycare bills, schools, jobs, credit cards, mortgages, car loans and mass consumerism.

I pray they will soon, and before parents' poisons sentence them to incapacitated mind and early death.

GWEN, ELF, HAARP and Satellite Control Grid

Posted by Jahrun Chilam Balam

Original Document Titled: GWEN Towers, HAARP & Satellite GPS_EMF Control Grid
Formatted and posted for free distribution by Jahrun Chilam Balam 2010.04.09


"GWEN is a superb system, in combination with cyclotron resonance, for producing behavioural alterations in the civilian population. The average strength of the steady geomagnetic field varies from place to place across the United States. Therefore, if one wished to resonate a specific ion in living things in a specific locality, one would require a specific frequency for that location. The spacing of GWEN transmitters 200 miles apart across the United States would allow such specific frequencies to be 'tailored' to the geomagnetic-field strength in each GWEN area."
- Robert O. Becker, M.D., in "Crosscurrents: The Perils of Electropollution"

"Russian satellites, controlled by advanced computers, can send voices in one's own language interweaving into natural thoughts to the population of choice to form diffused artificial thought. The chemistry and electricity of the human brain can be manipulated by satellite and even suicide can be induced. Through ferocious anti-humanitarian means, the extremist groups are fabricated, the troubles and bloody disturbances are instigated by advanced tele-means via Russian satellites, in many countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America."
Dr Nassim Abd El-Aziz Neweigy, March 21, 1983, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Agriculture, Moshtohor Tukh-Kalubia, Egypt, writing in The Sydney Morning Herald

"Specifically, this agreement establishes the overall policies, relationships, and responsibilities guiding interagency activities necessary to establish, operate, and manage the NDGPS  as authorized by Section 346 of Public Law 105-66 of October 27, 1997 (Attachment A) including for the temporary and permanent transfer of mutually selected USAF Ground  Wave Emergency Network (GWEN) sites and equipment to USDOT for use to establish the NDGPS radionavigation service as authorized under Public Law 105-66, Section 346 (Attachment (C))."

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE
NATIONWIDE DIFFERENTIAL GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM SERVICE


This agreement establishes USACE, FRA, FHWA, USCG, and NOAA responsibilities for the funding, installation, operation, and eventual decommissioning of Nationwide DGPS sites.  In Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) NSTC-6 of March 28, 1996, the President designated the Department of Transportation as the "lead agency for all Federal civil GPS matters." In addition, the President directed the USDOT to "develop and implement U.S. Government augmentations to the basic GPS for transportation applications." In January 1997 the USDOT formed an interagency DGPS Executive Steering Group and a DGPS Policy and Implementation Team to investigate the development of a nationwide differential service to comply with Presidential direction. The findings of the Executive Steering Group determined that building upon existing infrastructure and resources - Coast Guard Maritime Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) sites and conversion of existing US Air Force Ground Wave Emergency Network (GWEN) sites - was the most practical method available to adequately fulfill the PDD and meet the user agency operational and technical needs.
Section 346 of Public Law 105-66, dated October 27, 1997, (Attachment A) grants authority to the USDOT to "take receipt of such equipment and sites of the Ground Wave Emergency Network ... as ... necessary for the establishment of a nationwide system to be known as the "Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System". In November, 1998, the NDGPS MOA was signed, identifying the general responsibilities of the seven Federal Agencies involved in the planning and proposed implementation of the NDGPS service.

The Ground-Wave Emergency Network (GWEN) System

300 Towers, 300-500 Feet High, Spread Across the United States

Extract from Matrix III Volume One:

The Ground-Wave Emergency Network (GWEN) is a communications system that the military is in the process of constructing as we speak. It operates in the very-low-frequency (VLF) range, with transmissions between 150 and 175 kHz. This range was selected because its signals travel by means of waves that have a tendency to hug the ground rather than by radiating into the atmosphere. This signal drops off sharply with distance - a single GWEN stations transmits in a 360 circle to a distance of 250 to 300 miles. The entire GWEN system consists of approximately 300 such stations spread across the United States, each with a tower 300-500 feet high. The stations are from 200 to 250 miles apart, so that a signal can go from coast to coast from one station to another. When the system is completed around 1993, the entire civilian population of the United States will be exposed to the GWEN Transmissions.

APPLICATION OF MILITARY FREQUENCY WEAPONRY:

According to a 1982 Air Force review of biotechnology, ELF has a number of potential military uses, including "dealing with terrorist groups, crowd control, controlling breaches of security at military installations, and antipersonnel techniques in tactical warfare."
"Electromagnetic systems would be used to produce mild to severe physiological disruption or perceptual distortion or disorientation. They are silent, and counter measures to them may be difficult to develop."
Each site would consist of a 299 foot tower (presumably to get around automatic imposition of the National Environmental Policy Act requirement for an environmental impact statement for any federally-funded 300 foot towers, a concrete building, and a series of fences on a 700 foot square site." Underground, a "ground screen" of copper wire would radiate to 330 feet at regular intervals. Physically unimpressive, the towers are presented to the public by the Air Force as radio towers for "emergency communications." Each tower will cost $1.4 million, the entire system a billion dollars. Other systems such as AFSATCOM, Milstar, Green Pine, and Giant Talk are designed to provide nuclear war communications at other electromagnetic frequencies and with the same or other weapons systems.
Because of GWEN's relatively simplistic technology, the Air Force presumes that GWEN will be replaced in 15 years by a satellite system.

The Purpose Behind The Neighborhood ELF Microwave Towers

May 23, 2002 - Sent To Don Croft By an unidentified friendly source.
Think grid triangulation. Like the old grid paper, put a dot at each corner and expand the box outward. Each level of panel acts also dimensionally (not like 4th, but in 3d space dimensions, don), or to put it another way, pitch, yaw, up, down, right, left, x, y, intensity, duration,  frequency pulse, etc, those kind of dimensions.  The whole damn dumb show was supposed to go down in late 99, but they didn't get people's guns, that big final obstacle to fascism. That's when they hit upon these ELF towers. Tested them in Ventura, Africa, and the Sudan.
They had GWEN (see http://educate-yourself.org/dc/gwentowersbybyronweeks.shtml) operational in '92, but it did entire counties and would affect their own people, who have body suits they were (lined with lead-impregnated Kevlar - which blocks ELF and piggyback frequencies.).  So they found out that the little towers, by the tens of thousands, they could literally aim any energy like a gun to a single home, a given range area, and so forth. Big places run by FEMA/NORAD run it all from computers. But they can also go remote, with the proper clearance and hookup.  They found out they didn't need to get the guns (that's why the push and schoolyard shootings stopped here; they no longer needed that scare op that worked so well in England, Australia, Germany, ....)
Now...how can you fire a gun or load it, if you are crawling on the ground begging for mercy? If you can imagine the worst abdominal pain there is, then you know how debilitating it is - you simply can't do anything, but lie on the ground and pray for relief  [Editor's Note: this assertion has been corroborated by Al Bielek, Stewart Swerdlow, Col. Fletcher Prouty, and even Major Ed Dames. During the 1991 Gulf War, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi troops spontaneously surrendered without even attempting to fight. It was this very ELF mind control technology which had been applied and rendered them impotent... Ken Adachi]
Then they can clean up entire streets, districts, small towns, enclaves, as needed. They don't need to pulse the whole country at once. Only as they do sweeps would they need to fire the machine up. And it is great for little revolts as they are sure to spring up. You can aim this grid like a net, down to the meter's distance. Got a neighborhood or backwoods community that isn't cow towing the NWO line? Simple, fire up the machine and down they go... as you walk through, kill the ringleaders, disarm the rest, then the lesson is taught to the survivors.
The French pioneered this technology in the late 70s from Bell Labs. They created a device for crowd control that looks like a big baseball stadium loudspeaker. It fits into the back of a van. Then they'd open the doors, pointing the van at the crowd. I've seen the device.
It operates on a 5 cycle bass wave, ELF. Made everyone drop to their knees with stomach nausea. [Carol felt that frequency as we drove by one of the towers, which was operating above the usual 15% capacity, apparently, on a recent trip]  Your towers are the same thing, but with bi-phase polarity frequencies that can induce hallucinations, nausea, herpes outbreaks (every organism has its own cellular freq) or whatever they want you to feel that day...horniness, anger, whatever.

Caveat Lector from Nexus Magazine Vol. 3, No. 3 April, May 1996

The following document comprises evidence for a lawsuit filed at the US Courthouse in Washington, DC, by John St. Clair Akwei against the National Security Agency, Ft George G. Meade, Maryland (Civil Action 92-0449), and constitutes his knowledge of the NSA's structure, national security activities, proprietary technologies and covert operations to monitor individual citizens. 
How The NSA Harasses Thousands Of Law Abiding Americans Daily By The Usage Of Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM)

1. THE NSA'S MISSION AND DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE OPERATION

Communications Intelligence (COMINT)

Blanket coverage of all electronic communications in the US and the world to ensure national security. The NSA at Ft Meade, Maryland has had the most advanced computers in the world since the early 1960s. NSA technology is developed and implemented in secret from private corporations, academia and the general public.

Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)

The Signals Intelligence mission of the NSA has evolved into a program of decoding EMF waves in the environment for wirelessly tapping into computers and tracking persons with the electrical currents in their bodies. Signals Intelligence is based on the fact that everything in the environment with an electric current in it has a magnetic flux around it which gives off EMF waves. The   NSA/DoD [Department of Defense] has developed proprietary advanced digital equipment which can remotely analyze all objects whether manmade or organic, that have electrical activity.

Domestic Intelligence (DOMINT)

The NSA has records on all US citizens. The NSA gathers information on US citizen who might be of interest to any of the over 50,000 NSA agents (HUMINT). These agents are authorized by executive order to spy on anyone. The NSA has a permanent national security anti-terrorist surveillance network in place. This surveillance network is completely disguised and hidden from the public.
Tracking individuals in the US is easily and cost-effectively implemented with the NSA's electronic surveillance network. This network (DOMINT) covers the entire US. involves tens of thousands of NSA personnel, and tracks millions of persons simultaneously. Cost-effective implementation of operations is assured by NSA computer technology designed to minimize operations costs.
NSA personnel serve in quasi-public positions in their communities and run cover business and legitimate businesses that can inform the intelligence community of persons they would want to track. NSA personnel in the community usually have cover identities such as social workers, lawyers and business owners.

Individual Citizens Occasionally Targeted for Surveillance by Independently Operating NSA Personnel

NSA personnel can control the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals in the US by using the NSA's domestic intelligence network and cover businesses. The operations independently run by them can sometimes go beyond the bounds of law. Long-term control and sabotage of tens of thousands of unwitting citizens by NSA operatives is likely to happen. NSA DOMINT has the ability to assassinate US citizens covertly or run covert psychological control operations to cause subjects to be diagnosed with ill mental health.

2. NSA'S DOMESTIC ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE NETWORK

As of the early 1960s, the most advanced computers in the world were at the NSA, Ft Meade. Research breakthroughs with these computers were kept for the NSA. At the present time the NSA has nanotechnology computers that are 15 years ahead of present computer technology. The NSA obtains blanket coverage of information in the US by using advanced computers that use artificial intelligence to screen all communications, regardless of medium, for key words that should be brought to the attention of NSA agents/cryptologists. These computers monitor all communications at the transmitting and receiving ends. This blanket coverage of the US is a result of the NSA's Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) mission.
The NSA's electronic surveillance network is based on a cellular arrangement of devices that can monitor the entire EMF spectrum. This equipment was developed, implemented and kept secret in the same manner as other electronic warfare programs.

Signals Intelligence Remote Computer Tampering

The NSA keeps track of all PCs and other computers sold in the US. This is an integral part of the Domestic Intelligence network. The NSA's EMF equipment can tune in RF emissions from personal computer circuit boards (while filtering out emissions from monitors and power supplies). The RF emission from PC circuit boards contains digital information in the PC. Coded RF waves from the NSA's equipment can resonate PC circuits and change data in the PCs. Thus the NSA can gain wireless modem-style entry into any computer in the country for surveillance or anti-terrorist electronic warfare.

Detecting EMF Fields in Humans for Surveillance

A subject's bioelectric field can be remotely detected, so subjects can be monitored anywhere they are. With special EMF equipment NSA cryptologists can remotely read evoked potentials (from EEGs). These can be decoded into a person's brain-states and thoughts. The subject is then perfectly monitored from a distance.
NSA personnel can dial up any individual in the country on the Signals Intelligence EMF scanning network and the NSA's computers will then pinpoint and track that person 24 hours a day. The NSA can pick out and track anyone in the US.

3. NSA SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE USE OF EMF BRAIN STIMULATION NSA

Signals Intelligence uses EMF Brain Stimulation for Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM) and Electronic Brain Link (EBL). EMF Brain Stimulation has been in development since the MKULTRA program of the early 1950s, which included neurological research into radiation (non-ionizing EMF) and bioelectric research and development. The resulting secret technology is categorized at the National Security Archives as "Radiation Intelligence", defined as "information from unintentionally emanated electromagnetic waves in the environment, not including radioactivity or nuclear detonation".
Signals Intelligence implemented and kept this technology secret in the same manner as other electronic warfare programs of the US Government. The NSA monitors available information about this technology and withholds scientific research from the public. There are also international intelligence agreements to keep this technology secret.
The NSA has proprietary electronic equipment that analyzes electrical activity in humans from a distance. NSA computer-generated brain mapping can continuously monitor all of the electrical activity in the brain continuously. The NSA records and decodes individual brain maps (of hundreds of thousands of persons) for national security purposes. EMF Brain Stimulation is also secretly used by the military for brain-to-computer link (in military fighter aircraft, for example).
For electronic surveillance purposes, electrical activity in the speech center of the brain can be translated into the subject's verbal thoughts. RNM can send encoded signals to the brain's auditory cortex, thus allowing audio communications direct to the brain (bypassing the ears). NSA operatives can use this covertly to debilitate subjects by simulating auditory hallucinations characteristic of paranoid schizophrenia.
Without any contact with the subject, Remote Neural Monitoring can map out electrical activity from the visual cortex of a subject's brain and show images from the subject's brain on a video monitor. NSA operatives see what the surveillance subject's eyes are seeing. Visual memory can also be seen. RNM can send images direct to the visual cortex, bypassing the eyes and optic nerves. NSA operatives can use this surreptitiously to put images into a surveillance subject's brain while they are in REM sleep for brain-programming purposes.
*Capabilities of NSA Operatives Using RNM
There has been a Signals Intelligence network in the US since the 1940s. The NSA, Ft Meade has in place a vast two-way wireless RNM system which is used to track subjects and non-invasively monitor audiovisual information in their brains. This is all done with no physical contact with the subject. RNM is the ultimate method of surveillance and domestic intelligence. Speech, 3D sound and subliminal audio can be sent to the auditory cortex of the subject's brain (bypassing the ears), and images can be sent into the visual cortex. RNM can alter a subject's perceptions, moods and motor control.
Speech cortex/auditory cortex link has become the ultimate communications system for the intelligence community. RNM allows for a complete audiovisual brain-to-brain link or brain-to-computer link.

4. NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE ELECTRONIC BRAIN LINK TECHNOLOGY

NSA SIGINT can remotely detect, identify and monitor a person's bioelectric fields.
The NSA's Signals' Intelligence has the proprietary ability to monitor remotely and non-invasively information in the human brain by digitally decoding the evoked potentials in the 30-50 Hz, 5 milliwatt electromagnetic emissions from the brain.
Neuronal activity in the brain creates a shifting electrical pattern that has a shifting magnetic flux. This magnetic flux puts out a constant 30-50 Hz, 5 milliwatt electromagnetic (EMF)wave. Contained in the electromagnetic emission from the brain are spikes and patterns called "evoked potentials". Every thought, reaction, motor command, auditory event and visual image in the brain has a corresponding "evoked potential" or set of "evoked potentials". The EMF emission from the brain can be decoded into the current thoughts, images and sounds in the subject's brain.
NSA SIGINT uses EMF-transmitted Brain Stimulation as a communications system to transmit information (as well as nervous system messages) to intelligence agents and also to transmit to the brains of covert operations subjects (on a non-perceptible level).
EMF Brain Stimulation works by sending a complexly coded and pulsed electromagnetic signal to trigger evoked potentials (events) in the brain, thereby forming sound and visual images in the brain's neural circuits. EMF Brain Stimulation can also change a person's brain-states and affect motor control.
Two-way electronic Brain Link is done by remotely monitoring neural audiovisual information while transmitting sound to the auditory cortex (bypassing the ears) and transmitting faint images to the visual cortex (bypassing the optic nerves and eyes). The images appear as floating 2D screens in the brain.
Two-way electronic Brain Link has become the ultimate communications system for CIA/NSA personnel. Remote neural monitoring (RNM, remotely monitoring bioelectric information in the human brain) has become the ultimate surveillance system. It is used by a limited number of agents in the US Intelligence Community.

5. [NO HEADING IN ORIGINAL DOCUMENT]

RNM requires decoding the resonance frequency of each specific brain area. That frequency is then modulated in order to impose information in that specific brain area. The frequency to which the various brain areas respond varies from 3 Hz to 50 Hz. Only NSA Signals Intelligence modulates signals in this frequency band. (See Table 1.)
This modulated information can be put into the brain at varying intensities from subliminal to perceptible. Each person's brain has a unique set of bioelectric resonance/ entrainment frequencies. Sending audio information to a person's brain at the frequency of another person's auditory cortex would result in that audio information not being perceived.
The Plaintiff learned of RNM by being in two-way RNM contact with the Kinnecome group at the NSA, Ft Meade. They used RNM 3D sound direct to the brain to harass the Plaintiff from 10/90 to 5/91.
As of 5/91 they have had two-way RNM communications with the Plaintiff and have used RNM to attempt to incapacitate the Plaintiff and hinder the Plaintiff from going to the authorities about their activities against the Plaintiff in the last 12 years. The Kinnecome group has about 100 persons working 24 hour a day at Ft Meade.
They have also brain-tapped persons the Plaintiff is in contact with to keep the Plaintiff isolated. This is the first time ever that a private citizen has been harassed with RNM and has been able to bring a lawsuit against NSA personnel misusing this intelligence operations method.

6. NSA TECHNIQUES AND RESOURCES

Remote monitoring/tracking of individuals in any location inside any building, continuously, anywhere in the country.
A system for inexpensive implementation of these operation allows for thousands of persons in every community to be spied on constantly by the NSA.

Remote RNM Devices

NSA's RNM equipment remotely reads the evoked potential (EEGs) of the human brain for tracking individuals, and can send messages through the nervous systems to affect their performance RNM can electronically identify individuals and track them anywhere in the US. This equipment is on a network and is used for domestic intelligence operations, government security and military base security, and in case of bioelectric warfare.
The GWEN (Ground Wave Emergency Network) system was ceremoniously and publically decommissioned in 1999, following years of public turmoil and demonstration against the placing of the towers near populated areas. According to the military, it was solely designed for emergency communications during nuclear attack, and was replaced with SCAMP, a mobile system that was harder to target. This was all of course, the party line so to speak.
It has been speculated as of late, that the equipment (which was left operable and intact after the decommissioning), was to be used for other purposes at a later date once the public hue and cry died down. We believe we have found the purpose. The equipment was designed to repeat ultra low, very low and low signals in hexagonal transmission cells, much in the same way telephone cell towers provide cellular service areas. The 200+ sites were spaced so that these cells covered the entire US, providing a "dome" of frequency over the nation. As of yesterday HAARP began broadcasting the most powerful signal strength ever publically recorded, without any reduction in strength, around the clock. At 3.39 megahertz, the signal is well within the range of the GWEN repeater systems rebroadcast capability. It was further indicated that a potential change in the concentrated broadcast direction from HAARP (one every minute), could be detected. If this is true, then it is conceivable that the signal is being randomly rotated into each GWEN site on the repeater grid for one minute, in an effort to eliminate jamming, and make public confirmation of the process very hard. You would literally have to put a point-to-point device between each tower and HAARP to prove that HAARP was where the signal was being introduced into the grid from. However, for the purpose of scientific confirmation, a simple field strength test on 3.39mhz around the tower, would show that it is in use on that frequency, and go a long way to proving this speculation is correct.
This brings up many different questions; three which we consider are the most important.
1.       Is Star Wars already in place and operable NOW as a National Defense System using GWEN?
2.       OR, is even this application a red herring to keep our eyes off of the true use of the system? There is a mass of evidence in hand concerning low frequency mind control experiments by the military. Were HAARP and GWEN were really designed as a nation blanketing mind control system, which is now ready to be used? If so, all of the in-fighting for the presidency would finally make sense. He who won, would be the first to control the system, and if successful, the populace of the US.
3.       Is "Flash Radar" really just the electro-magnetic signature of SCAMP?

The relationship between the frequencies of the several stimuli is exhibited by the equation g=s.sup.n/4 .multidot.f where: f=frequency of one stimulus; g=frequency of the other stimuli of stimulus; and n=a positive or negative integer which is different for each other stimulus.
US PATENT 5,289,438 - METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALTERING CONSCIOUSNESS SOURCE
US PATENT 4,877,027 - HEARING SYSTEM - Sound is induced in the head of a person by radiating the head with microwaves in the range of 100 megahertz to 10,000 megahertz that are modulated with a particular waveform. The waveform consists of frequency modulated bursts. Each burst is made up of ten to twenty uniformly spaced pulses grouped tightly together. The burst width is between 500 nanoseconds and 100 microseconds. The pulse width is in the range of 10 nanoseconds to 1 microsecond. The bursts are frequency modulated by the audio input to create the sensation of hearing in the person whose head is irradiated.
US PATENT 6,011,991 - COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD INCLUDING BRAIN WAVE ANALYSIS AND/OR USE OF BRAIN ACTIVITY - A system and method for enabling human beings to communicate by way of their monitored brain activity. The brain activity of an individual is monitored and transmitted to a remote location (e.g. by satellite). At the remote location, the monitored brain activity is compared with pre-recorded normalized brain activity curves, waveforms, or patterns to determine if a match or substantial match is found. If such a match is found, then the computer at the remote location determines that the individual was attempting to communicate the word, phrase, or thought corresponding to the matched stored normalized signal.
US PATENT 4,858,612 - HEARING DEVICE - A method and apparatus for simulation of hearing in mammals by introduction of a plurality of microwaves into the region of the auditory cortex is shown and described. A microphone is used to transform sound signals into electrical signals which are in turn analyzed and processed to provide controls for generating a plurality of microwave signals at different frequencies. The multifrequency microwaves are then applied to the brain in the region of the auditory cortex. By this method sounds are perceived by the mammal which are representative of the original sound received by the microphone.
US PATENT 3,951,134 - APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOTELY MONITORING AND ALTERING BRAIN WAVES - Apparatus for and method of sensing brain waves at a position remote from a subject whereby electromagnetic signals of different frequencies are simultaneously transmitted to the brain of the subject in which the signals interfere with one another to yield a waveform which is modulated by the subject's brain waves. The interference waveform which is representative of the brain wave activity is re-transmitted by the brain to a receiver where it is demodulated and amplified. The demodulated waveform is then displayed for visual viewing and routed to a computer for further processing and analysis. The demodulated waveform also can be used to produce a compensating signal which is transmitted back to the brain to effect a desired change in electrical activity therein.
US PATENT 5,159,703 - SILENT SUBLIMINAL PRESENTATION SYSTEM - A silent communications system in which nonaural carriers, in the very low or very high audio frequency range or in the adjacent ultrasonic frequency spectrum, are amplitude or frequency modulated with the desired intelligence and propagated acoustically or vibrationally, for inducement into the brain, typically through the use of loudspeakers, earphones or piezoelectric transducers.

US PATENT 6,014,080 - BODY WORN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE TRACKING DEVICE - Tamper resistant body-worn tracking device to be worn by offenders or potential victims for use in a wireless communication system receiving signals from a global positioning system (GPS).
US PATENT 6,017,302 - SUBLIMINAL ACOUSTIC MANIPULATION OF NERVOUS SYSTEMS - In human subjects, sensory resonances can be excited by subliminal atmospheric acoustic pulses that are tuned to the resonance frequency. The 1/2 Hz sensory resonance affects the autonomic nervous system and may cause relaxation, drowsiness, or sexual excitement, depending on the precise acoustic frequency near 1/2 Hz used. The effects of the 2.5 Hz resonance include slowing of certain cortical processes, sleepiness, and disorientation. For these effects to occur, the acoustic intensity must lie in a certain deeply subliminal range. Suitable apparatus consists of a portable battery-powered source of weak subaudio acoustic radiation. The method and apparatus can be used by the general public as an aid to relaxation, sleep, or sexual arousal, and clinically for the control and perhaps treatment of insomnia, tremors, epileptic seizures, and anxiety disorders. There is further application as a nonlethal weapon that can be used in law enforcement standoff situations, for causing drowsiness and disorientation in targeted subjects. It is then preferable to use venting acoustic monopoles in the form of a device that inhales and exhales air with subaudio frequency.
US PATENT 6,051,594 - METHODS AND FORMULATIONS FOR MODULATING THE HUMAN SEXUAL RESPONSE - The invention is directed to improved methods for modulating the human sexual response by orally administering a formulation of the vasodilator phentolamine to the blood circulation and thereby modulating the sexual response on demand.
US PATENT 6,052,336 - APPARATUS AND METHOD OF BROADCASTING AUDIBLE SOUND USING ULTRASONIC SOUND AS A CARRIER - An ultrasonic sound source broadcasts an ultrasonic signal which is amplitude and/or frequency modulated with an information input signal originating from an information input source. If the signals are amplitude modulated, a square root function of the information input signal is produced prior to modulation. The modulated signal, which may be amplified, is then broadcast via a projector unit, whereupon an individual or group of individuals located in the broadcast region detect the audible sound.

Anonymous First Person Encounter

The following report, although anonymous, provides a detailed first person encounter with what may be government electromagnetic testing. It was published in an underground magazine a few years ago. I do not maintain that reports such as these are absolute proof of government electromagnetic testing on citizenry, but well-reasoned accounts such as the following must be taken into consideration:
The large black top of the Federal Building in San Francisco looks like a giant air-conditioning vent, 50 feet tall, comprising the entire top of the building. It is actually a radar, microwave, and radio transparent shield for an array of communications devices on the roof of the building. Such "blinds" on top of government buildings are nothing unusual, it isn't necessary to visually remind everybody that such buildings also are likenesses of Orwell's Ministry of Information (read, CIA). And as such are in need of systems of communications independent of civilian mediums. Which, anyway, would be purposely interrupted in any serious case of civil unrest.
It is important to note three facts at this point, the purpose of which will come clear in the end: First, the Federal building is located at the base of a broad hill. It is on the low rise of this hill where San Francisco's 'Skid Row' district, the 'Tenderloin,' uneasily rests. And so the Federal Building can be seen from virtually any place in the Tenderloin. And let us reverse this thought: virtually any place in the Tenderloin may be seen from the Federal Building. And it is this unimpeded view which brings to mind the second oddly coinciding factor; that Low Frequency Electromagnetic emissions like television broadcasts will not pass through earth (hills, or the horizon), nor do they even pass very well through buildings, and so require a fairly clear shot, unlike higher frequency emissions like radio. This is why you have to put TV antennas on the roof.
Now fact three: Extremely Low Frequency transmissions, or ELFs, have been the focus of significant research by the military intelligence machines of several governments, including our own. ELF developments for military purposes is based on indications that ELFs at close range seem to cause aberrations in the thought processes of human beings, such as hallucinations, disordered thought, confusion, aggression, depression anger, hopelessness. Not unlike television, a close companion to ELFs in the electromagnetic spectrum. It is not difficult to imagine the value of such a weapon to our secret government, so fond of the disruption of societies, the control and subjugation of individuals, and of war, 'the insane death dance of paranoid societies.'
Now with these three things in mind, consider this fourth. Since I have had the fortune to live for three years in this ring of hell, the Tenderloin, I have noticed something very odd. At least 15 times I have noticed in the morning or early evening a pronounced buzzing or humming. Very low and hard to hear. Something like the sound which some can hear of a TV that is on in a room, but with the volume off. And on looking for the source of this sound, I found that it seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere. In other words it seemed to be coming from inside my head. I do not mean this figuratively. I mean that my head seemed to resonate with the vibration. And I felt that my thoughts were disrupted.
The buzzing seemed to make thoughts fall apart just before forming, like sand on a vibrating metal plate, and I felt vaguely angry. On the third or fourth occurrence of this, I noticed that in the wake of the buzzing sound, an unusual number of fights could be heard breaking out all around me. From out on the streets, and from adjoining buildings, and apartments, came the shouts and threats of people overcome with anger. And I thought, though at first it seemed horrible to consider, 'Hadn't ELF subjects reported the feeling or sound of buzzing in their heads?' and 'what better section of the population could be chosen on which to conduct ELF experiments.' A large percentage of inner urban dwellers are already so close to the edge that he or she is highly likely to express any fluctuation of mood with a corresponding fluctuation of activity which might come to the attention of the police.
In a neighbourhood where aberrant behaviour is common and expected, slight increases of such behaviour would go completely unnoticed, but would be detectable by careful observation of incoming reports to the police department. It would be unlikely in the extreme that anyone would associate the strange buzzing sound with unaccountable accompanying emotional swings.
Impossible that someone would suspect secret agents of systematically barraging the politically powerless with mood and consciousness ELF waves from atop the Federal Building. But even if such an impossibility came to pass, and allegations were made, would they not automatically be discredited by the general perception of the poor (i.e. Tenderloin inhabitants) as mentally unstable, alcoholic, drug addicted, and of the government as an essentially well meaning parent, who would not really ever purposely harm her children? 
Tests of ELF effects could be precisely monitored by the existing police department recording system (at no extra cost), all recorded on the justice system's networked national computer system, containing exact times of complaints, record of outcome, location, identity, profile, and criminal history of all persons involved. Police department ignorance of the tests would actually be desirable. The entire operation could be run by as few as two people. ELF broadcast times would simply be correlated with any flux of reports to the police department. And the exact nature of the ELF effects on human emotion would be conveniently built into the data received from police reports.
For example, an increase of domestic violence at 4%, and suicides 2%, perhaps one or two extra stabbings during your special hour-long broadcast of the latest ELF 'Top Ten'. A decrease in premeditated crimes might indicate a breakdown of thought process during the time of ELF transmission. Do you see? A double blind experiment (neither police nor populace have any idea) on a perfectly contained and monitored large population control subjects, in a typical city, with an 'in place' monitoring system (police reports) with a plus or minus accuracy allowance of virtually 0% since the experiment can be performed an unlimited number of times over a period of years. Could such malignant experiments be pulled off in any other setting?
If your aim were to induce murders, violence, psychosis, severe depression, or suicide, you couldn't really go calling on John Hopkins University now, could you?
Anyway, the very point of such a thing would be its use on urban populations. Listen, you have a little country somewhere, you destabilise the populace with ELFs and conventional means and overwhelm the local law enforcement agencies, martial law is declared, the democratically elected government falls. You install a corrupt dictator. You say to the American people, 'We must send humanitarian aid.' A hundred million dollars is allocated to the small country. The corrupt dictator steals the goods and money, and deposits the laundered free and clear taxpayer dollars in an offshore American bank. Beginning to get the picture? Think of how perfectly foolproof this is, how elegant, how appealing, how logical, how insidious, how horrible, how possible, and all it costs is the suffering of thousands of people.
"Postscript; last week the buzzing happened again, so loud yet so easily dismissed against the background of city noise. How could I prove to myself that it was not simply just coming from my head, could I possibly have the rare hearing condition, tinnitus, which causes ringing in the ears? I remembered a Mr. Science experiment where the electromagnetic transparency of various substances was being demonstrated. A portable radio was placed into a wooden box. 'Hear that? The radio is still playing, which means? That's right, wood is electromagnetically transparent.' The radio was imprisoned in various other containers to see what would happen. Then finally it was wrapped in aluminium foil, and fell silent. I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the tin foil. Pulling a three foot strip of it, I wrapped it around my head, and the buzzing stopped."

Toxic Utility Poles!

As if you did not have enough on your mind already....

This serious message of my own personal account, research and direct sensory experience concerns you and your neighborhood, your well water, your children, your pets... the air you breathe, soil and its hosted organisms, the aquifer, streams, rivers and lakes and the whole environment everywhere. The concern is about the new utility poles being installed just out your front door, by the lawn, or just down the street, or in the park, along the road by the wetlands preserve, at school and down town.

From a report issued by the National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides:

"Under, around, in and on every preservative-treated utility pole is a toxic site that poses a real threat to clean air, water and land."
"Utility poles account for about 13 percent of the market for wood preservatives used to kill fungus and insects and retard decay. The chemicals, which include pentachlorophenol, creosote, arsenic and chromium, are some of the most hazardous toxic contaminants on the market.''
But most recently, wooden utility poles are no longer treated with the relatively benign creosote, but rather deadly toxic chemicals. Over the last ten years these poles have been treated with increasingly dangerous pesticides and wood preservatives, particularly Pentachlorophenol (PCP) commonly called "penta" in the field.

Bottom line? Pentachlorophenol is evil:
"The use of PCP has become a global problem within the last two decades. Despite its known lethal effects on the environment, its global consumption is still high. This proves that until environmental well-being becomes a priority over economic gains, this worldwide dilemma will continue."

Check-out the two utility poles in this image. The one on the left is the old familiar creosote pole, and seemingly looks to be just fine with no sign of rot what so ever. Creosote may even smell good to some people, as they remember romantic encounters on the boardwalk or pier. Looking at the new pole on the right you'll see that it has a greenish hue. Not all of the new poles are so green looking! Believe it or not, the newest poles are disguised to be more brown, but you can spot them as easily as you can red-dyed bark mulch. No matter what their color, these new poles wreak of sickeningly toxic chemicals. That's because they are utterly saturated with toxic chemicals.

Now, when you are able to smell something in the air, that means that the molecules of the the thing you are smelling are airborne, and are whizzing into your nose and lungs as you smell them. One whiff of the chemicals from these new toxic utility poles will immediately make you feel sour in the stomach. Imagine one of these installed by your home on a hot summer day when you want to open your windows to invite cooling breezes through the house?

"PCP is toxic when inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. The EPA found that short term exposure resulted in central nervous system damage (EPA, Consumer Factsheet, 1998). In the long term, reproductive effects, liver and kidney damage, and cancer resulted (EPA, Consumer Factsheet, 1998)."
Imagine having your home and vicinity bathed in a sickly bouquet of Pentachlorophenol every day of the year. Folks, I gotta tell you, these new poles will not lose their smell or toxicity in your lifetime. I know f some near Lancaster, PA that still wreak like new after several years. Just think about how much chemical is leaching off those poles. Look around at how many utility poles you see. I'll bet you never even stopped to consider just how many utility poles there are in an area. Now begin imagining replacement of every pole you see with a toxic PCP pole in the very near future.

Penta and heavy-metal chemicals find their way with rain water into the soil, your nearby garden and down into your well water supply. Your dog or cat happens to rub up against the pole for a little scratch and then sits on your lap for a few affectionate strokes. You get up to make dinner. Meanwhile, the children are outside playing. They unwittingly use the utility pole as base for a game of tag. Just before heading home, tired from the day, your mate leans up against a utility pole while having a chat with a co-worker that is dragging-on by the curbside. Just think about this for a moment...

Pay attention. You may see brand new poles laying by the side of the road. Slow down, open your window, back-up and take a whiff. Observe the existing poles standing tall nearby. Do they really look like poles that need replacement? Probably not. The old creosote poles being replaced are often in perfect condition and able to last decades more. But this is a money-making racket whereby chemical companies are profiting at the taxpayers health and financial expense.

Call your township, utility company, your mayor and complain! They might brush you off, but make a point of filing your complaint anyway. Inquire with your neighbors. Get them to call.

Other people are complaining: 2009 Toxic Tort Litigation Blog (Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.)

This is serious folks and it affects you right where you live. It is another blatant sign of what new levels of toxicity burden are being placed on you!

Sat nam.

2010.02.01 Returning to America Again

Posted by Jahrun Chilam Balam

Travel experience these last few days:


After cousin Jeffrey left the bus station in David, just as I settled into my chair, the baggage man came into the bus carried by the river of other passengers entering. He showed me a baggage ticket and asked if I had the same number. I fished my three tickets out of my pocket and of course one of them matched. He motioned for me to follow him and out we went into the isle and paddled upstream against the current. On arrival at the belly of the bus, he pointed to one of my gray cases left lonely on the curb and asked if there was a bicycle inside. Perhaps he was referring to the words "Bicycle Tourist" that I unwittingly scribed on each case the day before, thinking somehow the act of demystifying the contents for airport security x-ray operators would be returned in with benevolence and smoother flow? (start laughing anytime.) Of course I said yes, that the case contained my bicycle and provisions, after which he asked for an additional six dollars. This held fair balance as it was less than the $10 bribe that we did not cough-up initially. Finally I had to shove the six dollars in front of his face to regain his attentions that had shifted away leaving me in some state of bizarre and prolonged invisibility. I returned to my chair. There was a teenager next to me with his death t-shirt, tattoos and what I could only discern as heat-branded, embossed, monogram initials set deeply into the skin on his upper arm. We said not one word to each other the entire way to Panama city, where until I slept.

At the Panama City bus terminal there was an apathetic attempt by the driver to locate assistance for me in getting the luggage down to the taxi parade. Within less than a minute shrugged his shoulders and excused himself to drive away. I looked around, and the other passengers on the bus had all evaporated into the night. Remembering my epiphany of "each step taking oneself closer" (to something) I decided to inch-worm the bags to the top of the ramp: roll one case set it down and stretch, repeat with the next case, and finally hoisting the duffle on my upper thighs, I managed to arrive at the top of the ramp with some sort of waddle. There I stood looking down at the ramp, at the amorous couple on the granite bench, the late night family at the switchback landing and at the taxis below. Just as I was meditating and preparing myself, and reaching to roll the first case again, a man appeared on the ramp, pushing a large dolly cart. He delivered all my bags to the bottom and where I secured a cab ride for $25 in a tiny car where the driver and a couple other guys helped him finagle the bags almost miraculously into the tiny spray-painted vessel. Away we went into the night through the lights of Downtown and on along the water, finally arriving at the airport which somehow seemed a dwarf in proportion to the number and size of Panama City's high-rise towers. The cabbie took the bags out and put them on a large cart for me and wheeled them into the terminal. Therein, the lateness of night was felt so palpably, empathically, with the lethargic scuffling feet of the seldom seen airport worker. As there were no prominent counter logos or markings, the cab driver inquired twice on my behalf where the Spirit Airlines counter would be. Looking around, I spied some line stantions, ropes and placards displaying Spirit Air, stowed along one of the nearby walls, and so payed the cab driver, and in gratitude, hugged him goodbye.

The wait was not too long as I found others to talk with who arrived later on the scene, including one Panamanian man from Volcan, who was on the same bus. He has a banana farm near Volcan but works in Boston part of the year for a company that makes lithium batteries for Motorola, NASA, etc. Naturally, my interests were piqued and as my questions became more detailed and specific regarding the nature and future of lithium batteries and their potential applications, he eventually confided that he simply solders and otherwise assembles the batteries. Another man showed-up who is returning to Florida, a former boat captain, but now a relatively "poor Gringo" that has exchanged citizenships through Panamanian matrimony. Another conversation ensued with a guy returning from a two week vacation in Panama, returning to his restaurant management position far north of Montreal, Canada. Soon enough, the line was constructed and the Spirit Air workers appeared around midnight. My bags were each about 5 pounds overweight. The first two he apparently let slide, and then came the negotiations on the second gray case which was 7 pounds overweight. I stated what he already knew, that I had paid $100 for the 3rd bag, which was already a formidable penalty. I suggested that it might be possible to remove some itms from the case, so we opened it and I fished-out some handlebar grips, and other parts, which on their own and out of context, looked strange somehow. When I suggested that this would only raise questions and further problems with security, he seemed to agree and so we closed the case and on I went to the security line, one much tamer than those I would be meeting in Fort Lauderdale.

While negotiating with the Spirit Air check-in agent, my former individual invisibility suddenly dissolved as the attentions from everyone shifted to the scene of Opening the Gray Box. It was if the magic I had been experiencing throughout my entire journey wafted out of the box like the ethers from a genie's lamp. The man became personal and asked me questions from the center of his own curiosity. Two women at the adjacent desk overheard me telling him about my journey. Before I left the counter, the two women began asking me more questions (in English) and scratched their way deeper into my "story". We were on the same flight to Fort Lauderdale and were seated only one row apart. Waiting at our gate, we shared really deep conversations about spirit and wakefulness. Soon we boarded, and soon the lights were dim and soon we all slept, though again for me as on the bus, it was only a half sleep - a purgatory sleep. The ladies reconvened with me later at baggage claim, and as they had no checked bags, we said our final goodbyes. One of them opened a a dedicated channel, like a tunnel, and said "I would like to give you a small gift to help you on your way. Just a small gift." She held out her fist to transfer something to my hand. She said "Don't look at it until after you get your bags." I promised to follow her request as she pressed a wadded piece of paper down into my closing hand. I put the crumpled wad into my jacket pocket and zipped it closed. We hugged goodbye.

A crowd of people formed around the carousel. One man, a gringo with a buzz cut, wearing a weight lifter's club t-shirt stood larger than anyone, a veritable giant. I approached him and asked, lightheartedly stroking his ego which he virtually wore, if he would help me lift my bags off the conveyer and onto the cart, that now cost $1 in the U.S. He looked at me as though pained and annoyed, but flanked by friends he agreed to help, but on made it clear that he had a connecting flight to catch. The first suitcase appeared in about 30 more seconds, which seemed like an eternity. He pulled it off and after another 15 seconds said that he had to go. I excused him and the other two pieces showed-up before he and his tagalongs disappeared around the corner. I slid them off the belt and onto the floor with a thud. With a turn of good fortune, a young Chinese man wearing an employee badge necklace appeared to pull as-yet unclaimed bags off of the conveyor. He loaded the other box on the cart and the two of us heaved the duffle high atop.

Soon I was facing a woman at the end of a fast-moving line that had the attitude of Condaleza Rice. While she verified my passport and U.S. immigrations form, the next available bulldog barked from his stall something like "I am ready whenever you are able to get over here." Whoa. Welcome home. The snide interrogations began about what I was doing in those countries, why I would even want to ride a bike, what is my profession, where I live, etcetera. Then in a seemingly warmer tone he instructed me to turn around and go around the corner where I will see a line and a red light. Spinning the cart around and seeing that I was looking for the almost illusive crack into the adjoining room where I was to go, he called after me saying that I was going the correct way and that he didn't design the system. Soon I was in the inspection room with the hulking x-ray machine resembling a half buried steam locomotive, cold stainless steel countertops, and lights that made everything seem hopeless and even grayer than the color of my own luggage. A few other people were there, mostly foreigners or people of color. One guy was explaining a new pair of sneakers. Finally I was asked to move over to one of the counters, only to be interrogated sharply by another man who asked "Who told you to come over here?!" The urge to be disagreeable began to boil in my belly. But I went through the same questions again. The man told me to turn around and go over to the far counter, by which he meant the x-ray machine. So I navigated the cart like stirring caramel syrup and made my way over to the x-ray machine. Another woman here. Somehow a softening one, with the compassion to listen as I explained that one of the reasons I was ending my journey was because of a spinal injury that made it difficult for me to lift much. Feeling somehow like Jesus dragging the heavy timbers of the cross through a sneering and jeering crowd, I asked the expectant man if he would help me get the bags onto the high counter at the mouth of the machine. The bags went through. The man walked away. The woman helped me load the cart. Nothing was said. I asked if they were finished with me and the woman affirmed with a nod of her head.

Away I went rolling through the labyrinth-like winding hallways and soon was pleading with an overweight and scowling black man at the baggage re-check point. Finally I escalated by telling the attendant there, flat-out, that my back was actually broken and that I required assistance. Grimacing with me for different reasons, he reach across the scale platform and drug the items across. He scanned the tags and said to proceed on to my gate.

Finally, I remembered my pocket. It was a one hundred dollar bill.

What a world. Each gate to each destination city has its own pronounced demographic. Atlantic City was no exception. I will spare you the remaining story of whiney Long Island accents, rudeness and the spoiling of children in ways unsurpassed. I had entered a maelstrom of utter madness. It is gruff and cold here. After some negotiating, I shelled-out $25 for a cab to drive me the 5 miles to the train station by yet another scowling dark face. He unloaded the payload into the mouth of a freezer-like elevator that took me up to a sunny, but cold platform. No one else was there. The elevator alarm sounded on and on as I again struggled alone with the weights to get them onto the platform. An older woman appeared eventually. She told me about her son, living in a schoolbus under some tarps in Oregon, who was now back East in Philadelphia  visiting her and his father in Philadelphia. The witty gray-haired woman helped me onto the train when it arrived after a two hour wait outside in the sunshine and brittle cold, but the abrasive attitude continued with the complacent conductors who made me relocate the bags, denying me any assistance, as one of them remarked "We have backs too!" Eventually, I lugged the bags off the full train, no one lifting a finger to help, at the dark underground platform in Philadelphia. People again vanished leaving me there with my load on the platform, grimy and stinky with a foulness of decades of machines belching with bad attitudes. Just as I began the inch-worm process to reach the stairwell, escalator and elevator structure in the gloomy distance,nearly 200 feet away, the voice of my friend Meg called out her quintessentially saucy "Hey!"

Together, we got the stuff to the elevator in two trips, me again holding the door of the alarming elevator waiting her return. Up to the high ceilinged stone and cement day-lit structure above, large carts in the appeared in distant gloom, Meg walked across the desolate annex where the elevator had deposited us to retrieve one of the carts. Not far behind, a man dressed in the vintage railroad conductors uniform, vagrantly smoking the last heavy drags of a cigarette where in the spaces of the train station was disallowed, followed her. Off in the distance I could see the exchange and body language of the agitated man telling Meg that she could not use the cart. She returned with this news and so we hauled the stuff another 200 feet to finally reach the curb to where she parked the car. Meg loaded the luggage and I loaded myself, and soon we were driving on the unkempt potholed streets of Philadelphia, finally arriving at her apartment. Therein were delicious culinary aromas and some warmth, and the gentle face of her boyfriend Salvador, a deeply sentimental Spanish artist from Columbia. We ate.

I checked my email, only to discover more madness from Diana, Helena and Ruby's mom. An unsolicited and neurologically short-circuiting communique that reads as follows:

I don't know exactly what your plans are because as always you are not honest and forth coming with information- but as per the document you need to establish a stable residence. I'm not making any provisions for you. This includes providing any type of transportation for you- you need to make adequate accommodations, provide a long term address and telephone number- which you do not have- this willy nilly plan of yours is not going to fly and if you have a problem with this you can file a petition to the court because I am prepared to move forward as such.  You pushed the envelope too far this time. I have information and I plan to use it. The world does not stop moving when you leave and does not start again when you decide to pop back into life.

If you cause any problems or stir the pot while you are in town I will seek legal action and will call the police- this includes disrupting the girls at school- the school has been notified that if you cause any problems that the police will be called.

You can visit with the girls but it will not be at some anonymous person's house or some room for rent. You are not welcome to my house so don't show up unannounced or again you will be met with the law. It comes down to this get your S-H-I-T together.

Huh?!?! I just got back from a four-month 1,800 mile bicycle trip through Central America, during which time I managed to get through to the children about four of the hundred attempts to do so. No emails returned and the phone nearly always goes unanswered. Diana is a wretched anathema, like an injured weasel, in perpetual anger over her own staunch resistances to allowing a rich human experience and I seem to be her favorite target. Maybe she's had just a bit too much fluoride in her drinking water over the years - just incapable of rational thought. Who is she to judge me? And how does this corrosive virulence serve Helena and Ruby?

It is easy to slip into feelings of being forlorn, wasted and lost. This is a place of utter madness. From my own preemptive portending to physical arrival, the closer I came to be back "here", the more madness spun around me. Sprinkled, yes with avatars of good will, but as in The Matrix, few and isolated, surreal. I am in a sort of shock. My reason for returning barricaded by utter madness. I am in the temporary safety of Meg's apartment in Philadelphia, but there are crazy men screaming and shouting angrily out on the busy street for the last hour.

How am I? I am fine. I arrived safely. Welcome home, traveler.
