Though his followers will deny this forever, it is actually undeniable what has recently surfaced about Terrence McKenna in my opinion, and in the opinions of many others as well. McKenna was ALWAYS a liar about conspiracies and would belittle anyone who mentioned them, though he knew many of those subject matters were absolutely REAL according to his close friends. He seems to have been another Timothy Leery type of figure who has been handled since as far back as his CIA created 1960’s “counter culture” movement. There is much mystery surrounding his death also, but that is another story all together. **** Note that I am a MAJOR supporter of both marijuana and natural entheogens such as mushrooms…… BUT any famous guru figure in these so called “peace and love change the world” movements are usually some sort of agenda based agents / culture creation programs being carried out.*****

****** McKenna was also a major figure in some of the very early HYPE and PROPAGANDA LIES surrounding the so called Mayan prophecy of 2012, as his mid 1990’s appearance on the classic paranormal Sightings t.v. show was all based around his HYPE and SALES PITCH of a software program called Timewave Zero for 2012.******

IMF Sponsored “Democracy” in The Ukraine

by Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research
Jan 31, 2014

There is an ongoing and deliberate attempt by foreign powers to spearhead the destabilization of Ukraine including its state structure.

There is a long history of colored revolutions in Ukraine going back to the 1990s.

The protest movement in Kiev bears a marked resemblance to the “Orange Revolution” of 2004 which was supported covertly by Washington. The 2004 “Orange Revolution” led to the ousting of the pro-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich, spearheading  into power the Western proxy government of  President Viktor Yushchenko and Prime Minister Julia Tymoshenko.

Once more Viktor Yanukovitch is the target of a carefully staged “pro-EU protest movement”. The latter was launched following president Yanukovitch’s decision to cancel the “association agreement” with the EU.

The mechanisms of interference are in some regards different to those of 2004. The protests are supported directly by Brussels and Berlin (with EU officials actively involved) rather than by Washington:

“The right-wing parties leading the protests in coordination with EU officials and politicians had called for a “million man march.” Ultimately, some 250,000 to 300,000 people gathered on Maïdan (Independence) Square. It was the largest protest in Kiev since the 2004 “color revolution” organized by US and European imperialism—the so-called Orange Revolution that ousted the pro-Russian Yanukovich and brought the pro-Western tandem of President Viktor Yushchenko and Prime Minister Julia Tymoshenko to power.

Evgenia Tymoshenko, the daughter of former prime minister and billionaire natural gas magnate Julia Tymoshenko, whom Yanukovich has jailed, read a message from her mother calling for Yanukovich’s “immediate” ouster. (See Alex Lantier, December 8, 2013)

The following article first published in November 2004, focuses on the October-November 2004 “Orange Revolution” directed against  then prime minister Viktor Yanukovich, while also providing details on the insidious role of the IMF and the World Bank in imposing the neoliberal economic policy agenda on behalf of the “Washington Consensus”.

IMF Sponsored “Democracy” in The Ukraine

by

Michel Chossudovsky

November 2004

Opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko in the Ukrainian presidential elections is firmly backed by the Washington Consensus.

He is not only supported by the IMF and the international financial community, he also has the endorsement of The National Endowment for Democracy (NED)Freedom House and  the Open Society Institute , which played a behind the scenes role last year in helping “topple Georgia’s president Eduard Shevardnadze by putting financial muscle and organizational metal behind his opponents.” (New Statesman, 29 November 2004).

The NED has four affiliate institutes: The International Republican Institute (IRI) , the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) , and the American Center for International Labor Solidarity (ACILS). These organizations are said to be “uniquely qualified to provide technical assistance to aspiring democrats worldwide.” See IRI, http://www.iri.org/history.asp )

In the Ukraine, the NED and its constituent organizations fund Yushchenko’s party Nasha Ukraina (Our Ukraine), it also finances the Kiev Press Club. In turn, Freedom House, together with The Independent Republican Institute (IRI) are involved in assessing the “fairness of elections and their results”. IRI has staff present in “poll watching” in 9 oblasts (districts), and local staff in all 25 oblasts:

“There are professional outside election monitors from bodies such as the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, but the Ukrainian poll, like its predecessors, also featured thousands of local election monitors trained and paid by western groups. … They also organised exit polls. On Sunday night those polls gave Mr Yushchenko an 11-point lead and set the agenda for much of what has followed.” (Ian Traynor 26 November 2004, the Guardian, http://globalresearch.ca/articles/TRA411A.html )

Needless to say these various foundations are committed to “Freedom of the Press”. Their activities consist not only in organizing exit polls and feeding disinformation into the Western news chain, they are also involved in the creation and funding of “pro-Western”, “pro-reform” student groups, capable of organizing mass displays of civil disobedience. (For details, see Traynor, op cit) In the Ukraine, the Pora Youth movement (“Its Time”) funded by the Soros Open Society Institute is part of that process with more than 10,000 activists. Supported by the Freedom of Choice Coalition of Ukrainian NGOs , Pora is modeled on Serbia’s Otpor and Georgia’s Kmara.

MUST SEE — MARK DICE BEHAVING VERY STRANGELY/POSSESSED

CourageousNerd z
Jan 31, 2014

[Potent News editor’s note: This video comes as a shock to me, especially because I’ve been posting many Mark Dice videos the past year or two.  I had to re-watch this video 3 or 4 times.  If this is some kind of joke then it’s not funny.  When this “Mark Dice” wants to be funny he can be quite funny.  This doesn’t seem to be his “style” of comedy as far as I’m concerned.

But then again, what is his style of comedy?  If he’s constantly under control in some way like this then does it not follow that his regular style is also synthetic and part of the act.  Has anyone seen Mark Dice respond to this video being out there?  I’m surprised I’m only finding out about this now.  He supposedly posted this video himself to his own youtube, and it’s clear from watching the video that Mark Dice knows he’s being videotaped, so this is not some kind of hacking job which has found him just hanging around spaced-out at his desk doing goofy stuff.  He doesn’t even look like he’s reading anything while he is staring blankly and I must say the sudden smile at one point seems extremely out of place/character and noteworthy, as does the occasional sticking his tongue out like a snake, the abnormally zen-like extreme fluidity with which he performs the actions that he appears to be getting somehow cued to perform, and other odd gestures seem out of place.

This is downright strange behavior by almost anyone’s account and it’s harder to appreciate it if you don’t pay attention to the entire video.  If anyone has any updates on this or has seen Mark Dice respond to criticism of this video, please don’t hesitate to post that here as a comment  for our open-sourced investigations or email me (via this contact form) with a link.  I sincerely can’t see Mark Dice doing this as a joke, and I’ve seen many Mark Dice videos.

This is definitely creepy and certainly reminds me of similar videos I’ve seen of other celebrities like Al Roker, Eminem, and Bill Clinton.

I’m done subscribing to Mark Dice’s youtube until I see some explanation for this absurd behavior that describes this bizarre content more accurately than the current model of demonic possession or something similar.  My email is flooded enough as it is and I can keep tabs on the guy without “voting” for him with my subscription.  As far as I’m concerned, this is a wake-up call, until someone can convince me otherwise, I’m going to practice more discernment and listen to my gut more.

I mean, for a deeper analysis of this situation I’ll say I enjoy calling individuals out for their stupidity as much as the next person (when it’s called for) and I don’t always have the energy to cover events or grand ideas, but it seems like almost all Mark Dice ever did was ridicule individuals and the masses for having fallen so low.  While I do not see that as horrible in and of itself, it is beginning to become apparent to me that it is unbalanced to strictly focus on that type of coverage/thinking all the time.  The attitude that Mark Dice displays and the spirit with which he spreads awareness is almost the opposite of JoyCamp‘s apparent philosophy/stance, for instance, which is that that the unfortunate reality at the end of the day is that we need and depend on these “zombies” that we constantly laugh at, despite how difficult living with them can be.  In my view, it is how we perform in light of challenges in our lives which often earns us respect among our peers, not strictly how we perform when everything is going great for us.  We are not meant to have everything going great for us all the time.

It is easy to hate on the ignorant masses that much.  It is more difficult to see the lesson inherent in the experience and to see that we are not that different from those who choose to ignore valuable information that is available.  Humanity didn’t get this way overnight.

It is far more productive to focus on that valuable information than it is to focus on how many people failed to absorb that valuable information.  Let them fail, as long as justice is served.  Let them waste their energy.  I’m not saying be heartless, but if a person doesn’t want to change, it’s not right for you to force the change especially if they are not harming you.  In addition, they’ll feel more proud of themselves and confident in their abilities if they took the opportunities available to them with their own volition.  Also, one appreciates the light more when one has had time to allow their eyes to adjust to the darkness.  Many of these people need to truly appreciate quite how dark and dis empowered they’ve allowed their so-called lives to become.  This is a necessary step for many of them to make the change to improve.  You can lay the opportunities down for people and if they don’t take them you are wasting your time if you don’t either upgrade your approach or move on to the opportunities that await you.

I haven’t advanced that much more than Mark Dice with respect to this realization.  I admittedly sometimes put people on the spotlight a little too much as well, and sometimes I put events on the spotlight when I feel they deserve to be and that’s fine as far as that goes, but ideas/knowledge are governing our behavior (more than individuals or events are) and it is most productive to illustrate this or at least make that our highest priority, especially when the very concept of an objective truth and an objective morality are constantly ridiculed and attacked from many different angles via many different groups who are using many different tools/methods to occult this valuable information.  It is the work of people like Jan Irvin and Mark Passio which has helped me arrive at these conclusion and I can’t give them enough credit for this.  Sometimes it is called-for to expose an individual and sometimes karma/justice entails that a person’s ego gets beaten down by scrutiny and that people held accountable for their wrong-doing, but what I’m trying to say is that focusing on individuals almost 100% of the time would be unbalanced and we would miss an opportunities to examine the root causes of problems and to hence address what is causing those individuals to behave in such unnatural and ignorant/immoral ways.

So, while I agree with “Mark Dice” about the extent of the damage done to the mass psyche and how absurd it is that the average American has let his/her mind deteriorate to the point that many might, for example, sign a petition calling for repealing the Bill of Rights (which Mark Dice has actually convinced the “sheep” to do at times), I ultimately resonate with JoyCamp’s views much more and I see their conclusions & approach as more sound because I agree that we really do have an obligation to give these “sheep” the benefit of the doubt before writing them off.  You see, while Mark Dice did use comedy, Mark Dice never mentioned the crucial Trivium Method and never tried to teach it to any of us, as far as I know, nor did he appear to have an understanding of it for himself… He didn’t try to help the masses (to use this tool to) categorize information and identify tricks/lies.  Instead, he simply laughed at them for falling for the tricks/lies and exploited their weaknesses.

Divide and conquer is an old strategy.]

It’s been more than a month since Islamist rebels seized the industrial Syrian town of Adra, and allegedly massacred dozens of civilians there. Heavy fighting left thousands displaced, and militants still hold large parts of the city, making it impossible to go in and verify the details of any atrocities. Yet RT became the first foreign TV crew to get to the area since the start of the siege – and spoke to some of the survivors.

Syria peace talks unravel after ‘US military aid’ accusations

End the Lie – Independent News

The fourth day of the Geneva 2 peace negotiations has been halted earlier than scheduled following a fierce exchange of accusations from both the opposition and the Syrian government over the alleged resumption of US military aid to the rebels.

The talks were cut short by the UN-Arab League mediator Lakhdar Brahimi following the morning session when the opposition delegation rejected an official complaint note presented by the Syrian government delegation criticizing the resumption of US aid.

“We believe this is not the best present to the Geneva conference,”
said Faisal al-Mikdad, Syria’s deputy foreign minister, calling the American decision “another manifestation” of US support for “terrorist groups” in Syria.

“This proves again that the United States is not interested in the success of this process, and we believe the US has to desist and stop its claims that it is interested in the success of this conference,” he told reporters following the meeting.

The statement of condemnation said that the US, by choosing to arm rebels, made a “provocative decision” in violation of the Security Council resolution no. 1371, as weapons supplied will end up in the hands of extremists such as al-Nusra Front and the Islamic Front. The statement noted that the timing of this decision was truly surprising, as it serves “as a direct attempt to obstruct any political solution in Syria.”

On Monday, Reuters reported that “moderate” Syrian rebel factions are being armed by the United States after the US Congress secretly approved the measures. Weapons which allegedly reach Syria via Jordan include a variety of small arms, and are believed to include anti-tank rockets and shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles.

On Monday, the US rejected arming the rebels, saying that “any notion that we support terrorists is ludicrous.”

“The Assad regime is a magnet for terrorists,” US State Department spokesman Edgar Vasquez said in a statement. “The regime’s brutality is the source of the violent extremism in Syria today. We support the moderate political and military opposition who are fighting for the freedom and dignity of all the Syrian people.”

Instead, Vasquez blamed the Assad government of undermining the talks, saying the document “shows that the regime is evading the core purpose of the Geneva talks.”

The UN refused to comment on reports of the decision by the US Congress to approve the delivery of small arms to Syrian opposition, but Brahimi told the Itar-Tass news agency that he had not seen an official statement on the issue by Washington.

In the meantime, Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov said that arming the opposition translates into arming terrorists.

“New supplies of lethal and non-lethal weapons to the Syrian conflict area lay groundwork for supporting terrorists,” Lavrov told journalists in Brussels on Tuesday where Russia-European Union summit was being held.

Tuesday’s talks were supposed to focus on the transfer of power and providing aid to the city of Homs, but there was no progress toward resolving the key issue of whether President Bashar Assad should step down and transfer power to a transitional government.

Negotiations are to reconvene on Wednesday, Lakhdar Brahimi, the chief UN mediator, told reporters, as he hopes for a “better session.”

“Nobody is walking out,” Brahimi said, “Nobody is running away.”

“We have not achieved any breakthrough, but we are still at it, and this is good enough as far as I’m concerned,” Brahimi said.

A member of the opposition negotiating team, Rima Fleihan, said that UN mediator Lakhdar Brahimi had cancelled the afternoon session “because the regime is not cooperating on any subject, not on humanitarian issues and not on a transitional governing body.”

She said the government’s representatives rejected the opposition’s “vision” for Syria. “We have a vision, unfortunately the regime presented nothing and refused all discussion.”

Moscow in the meantime wants to avoid “another obsession with regime change because of somebody’s personal animosity, personal hatred to a particular individual,” Lavrov said in Brussels.

“Imagine Assad disappears. Who is going to keep it together? There is no answer,” Lavrov said, adding that the “adoption of a declaration on principles of the Syrian state’s existence should be the next step in the inter-Syrian dialogue.”

On Monday, the government’s team presented a working paper on Syria’s future, which Murhaf Joueijati, a member of the opposition Syrian National Coalition’s negotiating team, said was rejected by the opposition because it “had nothing to do with a transitional government,” and was instead focused on the need to combat terrorism and cease funding and arming of rebel groups.

The governor of Homs province said on Tuesday that UN officials are trying to negotiate with opposition fighters to allow the evacuation of civilians, as security concerns and al-Qaeda linked cells hinder the operation. At the same time, Joueijati accused the government of not allowing the delivery of humanitarian aid to Homs, which has been under siege for almost two years.

Syria’s deputy foreign minister, Al-Mikdad denied the government’s role in delaying the delivery of aid, saying that Damascus needs “assurances that the aid will not go to armed and terrorist groups in the city.”

In the meantime, Elisabeth Byrs, a spokeswoman for the World Food Program, confirmed that aid vehicles are on standby.

“We need that all security conditions be met to allow this interagency convoy to go,” said Byrs.
