Free Intelligence: notes for a manifesto
Tim Hayward
Faced today with so much disinformation as we are today, how can citizens be mutually supportive in developing intelligence – intelligence being understood in all its senses, including as a capacity of individual inquirers, as a quality of publicly available understandings of the world, and as a source of insight into potentially disruptive aspects of social life?
Is there any reason not to be committed to:
- the development and exercise of inquiring minds as an essential aspect of human life;
- recognition of the value of social cooperation in developing intelligence;
- maximal openness in the sharing of knowledge and understanding;
- respect for the principles of freedom of thought and expression;
- defence of those whose lawful rights of free expression are curtailed by government;
- promotion of education that supports the development of intellectual autonomy and social understanding at all ages;
- defence of a political order that respects constitutional principles for the governance of intelligence gathering and sharing, including provision for democratic oversight of intelligence agencies, state and corporate?
Are there other related commitments that should be regarded as similarly important?
Personally, I perceive disturbing trends in society today that tend to undermine the possibility of fulfilling those commitments. Of particular concern is the spread of disinformation in public communications arising not merely from negligence or incompetence.
Agencies with resources to pursue particular agendas can engage in various strategic communications aimed at influencing the public into accepting beliefs that would, with the exercise of free intelligence, be more critically scrutinised.
A further concern is that the education system is being adversely influenced, with a particular risk being that universities, whose social role is to be custodians of the highest standards of research and instruction, are drawn into ventures that dilute and even undermine those standards.
In fulfilling a commitment to raising the level of public debate about significant matters of political or scientific controversy, universities have a vital role to play, on behalf of – and answerably to – the whole of society.

My daughters university are taking all lectures online. She’s doing engineering but will have no access to workshops. Shes in effect paying over £9000 /year for what is now little more than a correspondence course. In order to secure accommodation for this academic year ( in a very tough market), she had to sign a 12 month contract many months ago. A 12 month commitment to pay accommodation fees for accommodation she no longer needs. She has no need to visit campus and so could be based from the family home saving £7000 per year. She worked so hard to get top grades to go to her first choice uni and this is her reward. Infuriating.
According to Free Intelligence: notes for a manifesto: I can fully agree with everything you write. I also see the aspects that you have cited as the foundations for a mature, progressive society. A society with people who, when interacting with others, first ask for the ‘for’ instead of the ‘against’, based on the premise of their counterpart, is also interested in the ‘with’ and not the ‘counter’. This includes a solidarity inherent in society, on the basis of which help and honest exchange on an equal footing would be a matter of course, not taken for granted, which could probably in the foreseeable future, most of the currently unsolvable problems of our time, be eliminated. That would be the kind of civilization that has been admired so often in literature and film through the personification of a highly developed extraterrestrial species. I believe that people have the necessary cognitive… Read more »

Sorry about the “your country” in my previous post, I am filming with friends from Africa this morning 🙂
Dear Tim. I am inviting you to our film-making because it is important to understand what goes on in your country as well as in the UK. This criminal lock-down has happened globally and we suspect that problems in countries like Africa in relation to Monsanto, Bayer and Bill Gates have now spread to Europe. We really should have done more about this many years ago. I tried really hard, I have been a campaigner for ten years, stopped fracking and fight 5G. Before that I campaigned mainly for peace and democracy, still do 🙂 I am an award winning film-maker and I am making a film about all of this together with Piers Corbyn, Kevin Corbett, Claire Edwards and Olle Johansson and I was hoping you would be part of this too. I am an award winning film-maker and long time campaigner for peace, our environment and social justice.… Read more »
Tim Hayward, I agree. Schools and Universities have abandoned their responsibility to educate and nourish free debate, critical thinking or even just to teach history to young people. They are verybiased and ruled by the communist/socialist manifesto disguising itself as the UN charter. Verys sad states of affair in schools. I was blind to this for far too long, and now I see it and I am very sad. We are losing generations to this false dogma (equity, diversity, sustainable development, etc all designed to depopulate Earth by CFR that has become the UN in 1945.)
did they ever? really?
If you don’t mention those at the top of our intentional marginalization and their project that we may be relegated to a final slavery at their hands, then you cannot be an element of resistance. Then you cannot be a power in the achievement of our freedom in a better world. The gangsters at the top are those who meet at Davos, the Bilderbergers and the Trilateral Commission. The Council of Foreign Relations contains many gangsters and their fellow travelers.
Their project is the NWO and the means the exaggeration of the virus and the global warming hoax. Agenda 21 and Agenda 30, together with ID2020, the vaccine and further surveillance are the implementation.
It is our job to plan a different world and to bring our fellow citizens along by exposing the above and enunciating the alternative.
Educators, this is likely to revolt you :
https://educationoutrage.blogspot.com/2020/07/online-teaching-not-working.html
1. A good online course must be driven by doing, not by listening; ask students to try to accomplish something they don’t know how to do and help them do it. To do this you must build “goal based scenarios” with built in expert help A.
2. You cannot be the only expert in the room. You must find experts an record them (or provide short readings) so they can pop up as needed when a student is lost. You need to be there as needed as well. And the other students can serve can provide just in time help as well. Don’t attempt to recreate the classroom. You want students to talk to each other.
3. There can be no tests. Only goals and the possibility that the students can achieve the goal set out for them.
4. Get over theory. Professors love to teach theories, usually because they have had no real world practice themselves. Stop building your courses around theory.
5. Make it fun.
ALL OTHER JUNK How nice it would be to see a free exchange of ideas in mainstream media news. Imagine, if commentators covered significant issues with nuanced discussions. Unfortunately, those days are long gone the Fairness Doctrine introduced in 1949 by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), required holders of broadcast licenses to present controversial issues in a manner which was considered honest, equitable, and balanced. However, the FCC eliminated this policy in 1987 and removed the rule that implemented the policy from the Federal Register in August 2011. That was the end of that–it was the final nail in the mainstream media news coffin. Commentators no longer provided news, but merely propaganda. The notion that an historical event could have two sides or could require multiple points of view was no longer a consideration. The only concern was how to “sell” the news since it was regarded as a product to be marketed in the… Read more »

This site, a new discovery for me, is refreshing. Thank you to all involved. This particular article, ‘Free Intelligence – Notes for a manifesto’, though charmingly polite, almost demure, goes straight to the essence of today’s formidable problems. If truth cannot set us free, nothing can. And only free intelligence leads to truth. This must be the starting point. One can discuss what is meant by ‘free intelligence’, and debate about the limitations of ‘democracy’, and so forth, as some commenters are inclined to do, but while these procedures are necessary, we all understand what the article is about, and, in particular, its urgency. The ‘manifesto’ it looks for is sorely needed, as a beginning, and to unite this presently-fragmented opposition of reasonable people. It must however be a good one, above all an effective one, and much intelligent thought has to go into it. The quality of the comments… Read more »
Gutted. Peter Green died today. I am almost certain, I was chatting to him last year. He seemed fine. “Can’t help about the shape I’m in I can’t sing, I aint pretty and my legs are thin But don’t ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to Oh well Now when I talk to God I know he understands He said “stick by me and I’ll be your guiding hand” But don’t ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to Oh well” Songwriters: Peter Green Peter Green (born Peter Allen Greenbaum, 29 October 1946 – 25 July 2020)[1][2] was an English blues rock singer-songwriter and guitarist.[3] As a co-founder of Fleetwood Mac, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Green’s songs, such as “Albatross“,… Read more »
We may feel good, or bad about the treatment we used to receive at our local NHS hospital. I do not yet know how it is now, but it was Brilliant 4 years ago, when my wife got run over by a car, which broke her leg in two parts. They put her leg back together, which involved one hell of a lot of pain within minutes at arriving at A&E. The lovely doctor said, just imagine you are having a baby again.Then, they supplied all the equipment – crutches – portable loo, rails to put around the toilet – when she could get there – And regular Physiotherapy Total Cost UK NHS – no charge – Free. Could anyone but a millionaire afford that in The USA – then – or get treatment now??? But the UK, is getting more and more like The USA. To illustrate this, my… Read more »
Our Spook Organisations are more of a threat to this country than any foreign army or foreign power. This has been the case for the past 100 years, going back to the Zinoviev Letter and the Mountbatten coup plot against Harold Wilson. They are poor servants and terrible masters, and should simply be defunded and disbanded.
We always cheer for the bad guy in Bond movies!
I would not be surprised if the spy agencies have chosen to recruit a particular type of math and physics whizz that’s favoured by investment banks: ingenious, very skilled in a narrow field, cold, bordering on sociopathic, seeing everything as a numbers challenge to be resolved. See the new head of Mi5. The banks hire emotionally-cold math whizzes for a reason. They are largely criminal enterprises nowadays. You read that right: most large banks make much if not most of their profit from crime. Organizing crime is so routine that the banks set aside millions, if not billions of dollars each year to pay the fines that they know will come. But the profit is always greater than the fine. Who says crime doesn’t pay! https://wallstreetonparade.com/2019/10/jpmorgan-chase-has-a-pattern-of-criminality-now-wall-street-is-pointing-to-the-bank-as-a-cause-of-the-feds-emergency-loans/ Spy agencies were set up by banks and corporations as their muscle – so the intelligence agencies, to a large extent, represent the banks.… Read more »
“Faced today with so much disinformation as we are today, how can citizens be mutually supportive in developing intelligence – intelligence being understood in all its senses” To focus on this line, and especially the part ‘intelligence being understood in all its senses’. One should distinguish between generally accepted forms intelligence, forms accepted by society, and forms which are not accepted, known, or hardly accepted and known. There is the intelligence of the citizen in his role as a citizen, and the intelligence of the individual, as an individual, as far as he is an individual. Where the individual as far as he is really an individual, and not mostly a product of contemporary and historical culture, is ahead of society in terms of intelligence. Oscar Wilde wrote that the goal of a manor life should be to be idle. Of which he meant not just doing nothing, but the… Read more »
“disturbing trends in society today that tend to undermine the possibility of fulfilling those commitments” It should be said that every society undermines in a disturbing way the fulfilling of ‘such commitments’, including our liberal democratic societies. To believe this to be not the case, means to fall victim to its self-aggrandizing propaganda. Above, I have already mentioned some examples of how society exploits limited forms of intelligence, and how it exploits technology in a way which enslaves, rather than using it in ways which makes free and which stimulate if not all, at least various forms of intelligence. The disturbing trends of which the author alludes to do not appear out of the blue, these are founded upon long term of explotation and pushing into a certain direction by society as a whole, not just by those elites out to control. It is rather that a level has been… Read more »
@John: “Thus democratic power, different from power of public opinion, is a power which is inevitably subject to many abuses”.
Surely that is the point at issue: How to improve _both_ democratic power (ie, votes) and public opinion (thoughts and/or feelings) by creating “an intelligent environment”?
“Democracy is the best form of bad government; nevertheless, it is still a bad form of government”. Given the chance to put his meritocratic political theory into practice, Plato made a sorry mess. The question is: Can we, a society of differing abilities and ambitions, improve on Plato – an individual of supreme intellect in his Academy of first rate minds? Can we create an intelligent environment that will make life easier for our offspring – by endowing them with with an environment that weeds out propaganda, and stimulates their ability to expose sophistry?
Dr NG Maroudas Propaganda is a form of promotion, and promotion is not necessarily bad. If it is true that no thing is bad in itself, but rather that whether something is bad depends on how it is used, I would suggest that propaganda becomes bad roughly when the promotion has the quality of imposition to a degree which robs the mind of its freedom. This quality of it turning bad is then attained by repetition of a very high degree, a spreading which is too ubiquitous, next to all kinds of tactics which aim to forbid and devalue other views. The latter kind is of a subtle indirect nature, it does not expose what downright forbidding could expose.. So it is not so much the question of how to weed out propaganda, as weed is something you can do without, but rather of how to recognize situations where it… Read more »
I agree on some of your points (clipped below) – especially the need to reduce educational overload at school. So we have made a start toward building an intelligent human environment – even though by intelligence and education we restrict ourselves to common sense and social life.
“To expose sophistry… is actually a very hard thing to do, it …would seem a step too far for all people to become proficient in that area, it would require them to invest energy and time … sophists can be extremely intelligent, one cannot defy it by making other people even more intelligent, but rather by means of retaining of commmon sense it can be neutralized… This retaining of built in common sense, everyone to his own degree depends on a system of basic education which does not overload”
The oppressors have adopted successful strategies over more than a century. One such strategy is the metaphor of the boiling frog. You put a frog in a pot on a stove and turn on the heat. The Frog doesn’t notice the incremental rise in temperature until it’s too late. The oppressors are comfortable with playing the long game. That way they don’t have to deal with as many frogs activating fight or flight. They use double speak to rebrand everything, and unless you know their intentions and how they work, Sustainable development will sound like a good thing, and censorship will keep you safe, and vaccines will save lives. So the question of how best to deal with them is usually overwhelming to most. I’ve watched and studied them for years, and I think the solution is one they would never see coming. They are not creative themselves. They buy… Read more »
Good post. It would be useful to include the supremacism and hatred in their ideology of us – the rest, who are bound by Logos, the natural order, by God.
As long as enough good people are willing to die, we will win. But the question is will there be enough.
I for one will never submit to these degenerate fcks.
They not only develop AI, they also promote AI heavily through entertaiment and cultural products like movies and books. This pepares the mind of the public for acceptation through implicit forms of propaganda. Also techno aesthetics is part of this program. Finally then, the denouncing of the qualities of human intelligence, in favour of ‘AI intelligence’, and the ignoring and ridiculing of philsophies and theories related to the potential of development of human intelligence is a basic part of the program and its propaganda.
“enormous ghostly structure that is really only held together by our own consent and agreement”
One may include here, active cooperation in all kinds of small ways, adding up. Some self reflection is a good thing, a without a sufficient foundation, thing cannot be so relatively easily and in such a fast manner transformed.
There is no ‘them’ and ‘us’. The them you refer to are the super intelligent who figured out how the world works. Namely exactly as you describe it : by divide and conquer. The masses were and will be always easy to manipulate and will always be too stupid to understand that the world they live in is the product of their own worldview. The poor are just as much greedy as those on the top and would become just as much cynical as ‘them’ if they understood how the world works and became rich and powerful. Just look at all the children’s stories and tales we grew up, or Hollywood movies. The goal is always to be rich and have a kingdom or be better than the others. The poor genuinely believe that they would be generous and fair if they were to become kings but in reality they… Read more »

Excellent post. I hope you don’t mind if I share it on Facebook. I got a bit of a chuckle when Tim said he’s “noticed a disturbing trend in society…” To me that’s like saying things seem to be getting a little wet during Hurricane Katrina. The ruling class have all of the levers of power in society, finance, military, industry agriculture and of course the media in their tight fisted little hands. Covid is, among other things, the means to take away what little autonomy the people have left, small business and farming, social media–to an extent and that hard to define but very real sense of collectivity and what it means to be human. All of the so-called health measures have a single over-arching purpose: to break the bonds of love, family and community. And when we’re fully atomized we’ll be controlled and picked off even more easily… Read more »

Hello, as a former university professor who resigned because she had to stand up to corruption, and to be able to speak out freely, as someone coming from several generations of academics, and thus as someone who was born and bred in academia, for whom academia was home so to say, I have to warn the author that universities are the least likely to be able to play a role. In the present situation, I clashed headlong with former colleagues and others connected to academia and the scientific world, from senior established and well known people down to younger generations. They’ve since then become like a wall. I can feel the hatred some have developed. I would not go as far as saying that all are led by financial motivations (though one did not hide that factor), or by ulterior motives: they truly believe in their models and they truly… Read more »
Thank you for your comment. I also left academia (STEM) after being tenured. It was several years ago, but the reasons were similar: I could see where it was all going, and the dumpster fire that academia has revealed itself to be in the last 4 months comes as no surprise to me. To answer your hypothesis: Possibly the further away you go from the prestigious ones, which are at the core of policy making, to small unknown small colleges, possibly the better it is. The answer is no. I received my PhD at a top-tier institution, was a postdoctoral fellow also at a top-tier institution, but ended up as faculty at a middle-tier institution in the hopes of escaping the bullshit. I hate to say it, but most of my faculty colleagues there were even more craven than those at the top. I will say that industry is a… Read more »
You may well be right. I was thinking of possibly some small liberal arts college, with a small scholarly community… But then which one, indeed…
Like you I resigned a tenured professorship. When I resigned this was new in some parts of Europe, so they did not even know what rights I should still have, i.e. what level of free medical coverage and so on. Luckily the state administration was so amazed that anyone could simply resign from such a secure position they decided in my favour.
Hope, it was ever thus. Einstein recorded the same phenomenon after the putsch of 1933 and the rapid Anglo Zionazi Capitalist makeover of Germany. I forget his exact words, but Einstein said it was no longer any use looking for freedom of speech in the press, nor freedom of thought in academia. Interestingly, Einstein went on to say that he found resistance to the coming tyranny in an unexpected quarter: in the Church ie, among the sort of people who do not usually go around boasting about their freedom of speech and freedom of thought. Personally, I think Einstein’s knowledge of the resistance was limited: not all the White Rose people were religious, and the greatest resistance to Nazism came from the Communists who, in those days, would have been proudly and loudly materialist-atheist. (See Janina Altman’s painstakingly researched book on the German academic scene, “Naturwissenschaftler vor und nach Hitlers… Read more »
Yes, indeed, the communists/socialists were the main opponents and the concentration camp were initially for them. The Jewish genocide came later. Contrary to Einstein’s days, today we have no Einsteins. The system has become such that its hard for any genius to arise. Its totally mediocratized (hence today’s covid narrative from within academia). But this process began long ago. Before it was the Church that repressed thought, but then after a brief interlude which gave rise to the scientific spirit in Europe, the state rapidly took over. And already from the latter part of the 19th, academics and scientists began losing their positions for their political opinions. There was a period of hope if you take part of the 20th, very rich in every aspects of science, arts, humanities. Nazism and WW2 ended that period. Notably it totally destroyed Germany which was truly a flourishing cultural and intellectual centre. But… Read more »

Excellent insight.
I’ve read one or two articles where people have said the same – that academia is in a dire state for this.
Even to an outsider looking at the Twitter accounts of respected acedemics and professors, this becomes obvious. I can’t believe some of these people are top academics. They’re clueless.
I think Tim Hayward is an outstanding, brave individual of great integrity. However I believe this may sometimes come with a tendency to look for the good in others, where none exists and understate the uphill battle and opposition. The careful measured language in the article perhaps shows this.
However in my view, this MO and Hayward’s work compliments greatly the more combative style of others and glad to read him here.
Good luck with the book. It sounds like a good one to have an author review for future.
The problem is from within the academic system, its difficult to truly speak freely, you have to compromise.
Fine principles, but no way to get there without total war that pretty much kills everyone. The monsters have their tentacles and hooks in everything.
How Far will the Globalists Go to Bring the United States to Its Knees? Sarah Westall w/ Joel Skousen (1of2)
Starts at 00:03:00
As long as the US retains the single most valuable resource for global capitalism, it will be allowed to remain standing, however much it teeters and threatens to fall to its knees. I’m speaking, of course, of its standing military – larger than the next ten biggest militaries combined.
Why only the USA? China or nation X,Y, Z should be equally committed to these seven principles.
I have frequently had utopian dreams of forming a new higher education model that completely upends the historical and extant hierarchical mind-set that is entrenched throughout academia. Enter the pandemic, and I am depressed beyond belief to see academia retreat into the same taxonomies, as well as the recent neoliberal mantra of sacrificing the humanities for the supposedly sexy STEM streams and the administrization of higher academia. As a final year PhD candidate, I would be very interested in networking with other academics to act on those utopian ideals into a workable, practical model of egalitarian education that promotes truly free thought. Open scholarship initiatives are intriguing, but mostly any movement in that direction that I have noticed is completely tied to the current model of academia; however, the foundational principles of open scholarship might be a source for models, as well as like-minded individuals.
Please say more.
‘Enter at your own risk’ should be the words placed on the entrance of almost every contemporary institution of higher education. If preferred, it may be expressed in Latin words to make it look more expensive, which also would be symbolically characteristic of such intstitutions.
As a historian, may I reassure you that governments have always lied to their citizens on an industrial scale. Through most of history citizens have taken this for granted and sought the truth by whatever means possible. Usually this included free media – whether officially permitted or samizdat. Recently technology and the steady growth and concentration of power has allowed governments to take over the media. Partly through “independent regulators” (hah!) such as Ofcom. Partly through leaning so heavily on owners and editors that they became very strongly biased towards the government line. As the media became more biased and less truthful, more and more people stopped paying for them. So government filled the gap by paying the media itself. Today all the British mainstream media – including, in my opinion, “Private Eye” – are about as independent and honest as the Soviet-era Pravda and Izvestia. … Read more »
You are painting the picture of ‘citizens looking for truth’, and governments as concentrations of power looking to deceive. This may not be the intention, as a historian, aside of being aware of how power corrupts, I assume that you are aware of the nature of the citizen and the public… But, in times of democracy, it might be that readers assume the fault to be wholly on the side of those who have power. Which is typical of a lack of self-reflection, which is characteristic of the current debate on so called alternative media.
Everybody knows
A privatised university with chief executives, corporate sponsors is even more compromised than ones infiltrated by deepstate aristo types. As are naturally gifted students piled with debt while teenagers.
As their great plundering is suddenly hit by a virus to stop their recruitment of this years new chicken debtors – the privatised educators and chief execs and bankers are in a blind panic!
What will happen to their profits and bonuses?
Let’s not cry over them.
Let’s not buy into their scare stories of students and children being deprived of ‘life chances’ by the virus sabbatical – measured in MONEY! The only language they speak.
They will be fine – but the bonuses and private schools and universities won’t.
Building a manifesto to counter the elites plan is essential but we must do it on a platform that ensures anonymity.
Solve this problem then we can start to make real progress.
I don’t insist on anonymity. I won’t tiptoe. Or wear a mask.
“universities have a vital role to play, on behalf of – and answerably to – the whole of society.”
Problem with that as many of these institutions have been infiltrated with corporate sponsorship and are recruiting grounds for private and governmental control over an unsuspecting public.
All roads lead to the ruling class.
And I think it’s necessary to know about the areas that the ruling class DO NOT care about e.g. race, religion, abortion, culture, genderism etc. Consequently these are the areas they constantly wag in your face.

The Forces of Evil Are Gathering
Vernon Coleman
Jul 24, 2020
International best-selling author, Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc FRSA, explains why and how governments around the world have deliberately over-stated the threat of the coronavirus. And he explains the role of the United Nations and the way education has been changed to promote collectivism. He also shows how the myth of climate change was deliberately created to control people everywhere, and he explains one of the main aims of the coronavirus hoax.
‘School World Order’ by John Klyczek has some essential insights into where the education system is heading (especially corporatisation and technocracy). These processes having been galloping apace under Betsy DeVos and the cover of the Covid distraction.
It’s clear that any developments like the author describes can only occur outside the formal education system.
Robert Muller/UN plan for World Curriculum has been been infiltrating into national education systems for decades .
A poorly educated population is much easier to keep distracted while the elites make all the big decisions for us .
The industrial era brought with it a need for an educated population, along with the concomitant problems for the ruling class. It seems that need no longer exists.

I fully agree with your comments about universities. I happened across a website, that I can no longer find, which detailed American academics currently engaged in post-grad research projects at Oxford University. There were a lot of them in subjects such as diplomacy, social science, third world development, introducing democracy, conflict resolution and economics, sustainability and development etc, mostly sponsored by NGOs. Then you have to consider the many scholarships offered, for instance: Oxford-Weidenfeld and Hoffmann Scholarships and Leadership Programme, not to mention all the intelligence service recruiters based at our most prestigious university.
I came away with the feeling that everything is connected globally and we can vote for who or what we want, but it won’t make a blind bit of difference.
“the development and exercise of inquiring minds as an essential aspect of human life;
recognition of the value of social cooperation in developing Intelligence”
Rudolf Steiner schools have been promoting these two principles for years. They are now under attack from the state, of course.
I was curious about this statement.
I clicked around a bit to find out that the problem is, of course, their anti-vaccine stance. Very interesting. Especially since the objection to vaccines is ultimately a belief that vaccines hinder spiritual progress.
If not under attack from the state, i’d certainly attack it on the basis of the idea that social ideas of intelligence are the product of social intelligence, of combined intelligence of which the total sum being a product of quantity does not raise the quality and extent of ideas very much Or in other words, the social is per definition quite restrained, and so are its possible conceptions of intelligence.
We have all found our way to this website through some inner force beyond intelligence. A knowing that what is being portrayed is not right some how. And so our journey begins and we accumulate other versions, put forward by others who are on this same journey. Through their discoveries they put forward their theories and what they have found to be facts that undermine the official narrative. We see these as affirmations of our own beliefs. We discover we are not mad after all. We are not alone. Far from it, we are part of a community who have managed, despite the constant brainwashing, to have retained our reason and more importantly, an inner knowing. It is this inner knowing that, to me, is the link to all knowledge and intelligence. It is the link to nature itself. It is the link to that which regulates this amazing vehicle… Read more »
Thanks! All the best to you as well.
Namaste.
Inlakesh.
Love.
Thank you: I read the OP when there were still zero comments, and I wanted to write a comment that expressed exactly this sentiment. I couldn’t figure out how to articulate it, so I put it away. I’m glad someone else figured it out.
I might add that a valuable key is learning how to read symbols. This is one of the glaring deficits of modern education and what is considered today to be knowledge.
I sincerely hope that this force beyond, is not without intelligence..
‘Agencies with resources to pursue particular agendas can engage in various strategic communications aimed at influencing the public into accepting beliefs that would, with the exercise of free intelligence, be more critically scrutinised’
You have them here too
How to recognize them?
They spread fear, sometimes through hope, sometimes through anger
They see no light at the end of the tunnel (our situation is hopeless)
They love us vs them statements, and try to make the ‘us’ position as inhumanly as possible (they usually do this gradually)
They are for a short time very prolific, after which you will not hear from them ever again. (Who ever heard of jackjim, sunset, 1 out 7 billion, objective lately?)
They usually get a lot of up votes, but their pick on the situation is always a little bit different as to the people I generally upvote
The poison that’s coursing through the world . . .
What if we, as a species, have actually become so degraded by consumerism and bling and Marvel Super Heroes and the cultural genocide that is social media that the ability to think clearly and critically is actually gone and lost forever? I wrote this story (a reflection on Stupidity) some time ago but I publish it here and now as it seems very suited to the tenor of the times… There once was a bloke. A perfectly ordinary bloke, not unlike countless millions of others. He worked hard, paid his bills (mostly) and thought that the world was pretty much organised as it should be. When he wasn’t working he liked to watch TV. His favourite things to watch were ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, ‘I’m a Celebrity. Get Me out of Here’, ‘X-Factor’ and anything featuring Marvel Super Heroes. And in between watching Things That’s Didn’t Require the Power… Read more »
I would hope to see three areas recognised : that of state authorised intelligence, that of private money creation through state backed commercial banking, and that of information control through state education, news media and internet monopolies. These three areas of controversy are, for the most part, ignored by the political conversation and become the underlying themes of ‘quarantined debate’. They arguably are the avenues whereby secretive, unaccountable power can excersize influence and control upon an ostensibly open society. If we are all supposedly living under a system of legal binds upon our behaviour (laws), developed through processes that range from the democratic to the autocratic, yet one group of organisations is allowed to operate within society, but without regard for the normal application of those laws, then that creates potential for an obvious abuse of power. The study of state authorised intelligence reveals this to be exactly the case.… Read more »
Yes, the infamous Money Power is the gateway concept that must be courageously breached if we are to have a lastingly effective discussion about how society is shaped by money and all it represents. Money, as a symbol of extraordinary power, is absolutely foundational to how society steers itself, orients itself, determines what is and is not of value. This has been my conviction since around 2008, but my experience has been that it is extremely difficult to convey this truth, as the truth itself is artfully concealed behind multiple layers of received and academic ‘wisdom’. What we Just Know about money is somehow reflexively in us about as deeply as our blink reflex. Hence, the societally corrosive consequences of attaching a numerical measure to value itself go almost entirely unnoticed. Thus, as you say, it really doesn’t matter which politician finds themselves in ‘power’ for any given term, it’s… Read more »
spread of disinformation in public communications arising not merely from negligence or incompetence.. <= is a consciously directed program designed to enslave humanity. <=Humans are embedded in their environmental surroundings. Everything they know is a result of human experience in that physical, cultural, and behavior space. Many truths have emerged from human experience. Each new truth adds a stepping stone toward reducing the noise (converting unknown to known). Full knowledge and understanding of the environment and all of its contents means a completely stable understanding of reality. Since the beginning mankind has used experience to stabilize himself in uncertainty. Reality can only be experienced, if there are no unknowns. The more unknowns, the less stable the human in environment. Truths, then, are anchors; that stabilize man's understanding, while beliefs, unless they turn out to be completely true, deny mankind the insight of reality. . Science has discovered how to invisibly… Read more »
My response to this is that it is fine in principle, but as always you will come up against resistance of those whose driving forces (not principles) are based around might is right, bullying is normal, decency is laughable and dominance is normal. I have tried practicing values like those for decades and I have never seen anything but power-based bullies, both male and female, stand up to crush it at the first signs of actions bearing fruit. As a small kid I was beaten up, as a youth I was mercilessly taunted, as an adult I was bullied and put under surveillance. The UK simply does not have any concept of such values and any politician who says otherwise is lying.The UK values crime, thuggery, bullying, slavery and eugenics. You know: ‘crushing the danger of a good example’…. Values are only lasting if they win out… Read more »
It’s like asking a rattlesnake to stop biting things.
I think you need to add in ‘zero tolerance for those, particularly the rich, who seek to curb basic human freedom, impose slave-like docility and oligarchic unaccountable autocracies.’
Well, my opinion as kind of mentioned is a greater commitment to being mutually supportive and in sharing information. But rather than perhaps in a general way among all citizens, first off the focus should be among those of us in various fields who currently share the same concerns. Currently I would say alternative media is too fragmented. Journalists, broadcasters, writers, activists and if you include academics, seem busy on raising this awareness but perhaps don’t collaborate enough between each other. For example, someone with similar leanings from a different field may offer a new perspective in helping present an acedemic point of view on Syria to a wider audience – and vice-versa. I don’t know but I think a kind of pecking order exists where good ideas and strategies among us all are sometimes stifled and we don’t encourage each other. Perhaps because the way we communicate is partly… Read more »
Bravo! The first positive step towards answering Lenin’s question: “What is to be done?”
The first step toward a clearly stated and generally acceptable formulation of the principles that underlie our instinctive sympathy toward Truther sites such as OffG; and the instincts that drive Truth writers toward “the path of the Cross”.
Something we might build on.
