GP Academy Letter 250901: “You Are Here.”

Happy Labor Day!

I’m sure that Karl Marx, wherever he is, is smiling at us. Or perhaps grimacing?

I include today another chapter from my forthcoming book titled: ”Wakeup Call! The Curious Person's Uncomfortable Guide to Reality.” Enjoy…

 “You Are Here”

It’s tough being a realist. As cheerful and optimistic an individual as you may be, you often don’t get invited back to parties. Sigh. Nonetheless, I thought I’d take a minute to “dial you in” to the reality of your situation.

For starters, you reside on a very small planet. So small, in fact, that the distance from the center of the Earth to the surface is only about 4,000 miles, roughly the same as from NYC to Hawaii.

As for the livable atmosphere on your planet, it’s about as thin as the skin on an apple. Climb higher than.0375% of your planet’s diameter—about 15,000 feet—and you will need oxygen.

All life must survive within this narrow, fragile biosphere which crazy people are currently polluting with particulates sprayed from jet aircraft (“chemtrails”) and generating by wildfires being set globally to block out the sun, all in the name of fighting global warming which, in point of fact, is 100% the cause of an increasingly active sun (as we near the end of the current Gleissberg sunspot cycle).

The electromagnetic field that surrounds the Earth shields us from a barrage of gamma rays and ultraviolet radiation emitted by our central star.

SIDEBAR: No human being wearing a rubber space suit that lacks lead shielding could possibly stand for long on the surface of the Moon, in the stark vacuum of outer space, and not be killed by this lethal radiation. The year is 1969. Human beings wearing rubber space suits stand on the surface of the moon, come back home and are celebrated with a ticker tape parade. I’ll let this marinate for a moment. Got it?

Moving on….

Every 12,000 years or so Earth’s geomagnetic field reverses polarity, at which time the planet’s rotation slows to a standstill then reverses direction, causing the oceans to flood the continents and erase all traces of civilization.

When was the last time this happened? About 12,000 years ago.

As to where we are currently located, astronomers have absolutely no idea. They look through powerful telescopes and see trillions of stars whose light has arrived from billions of light years away. Yet they have no idea whether the universe has any top, bottom, sides or edges. We are literally floating around out in the middle of nowhere.

As for life on this small planet, the dominant species—mammalian bipeds called humans—congregates into large clusters of other humans called nations.

There are currently over 200 nations on Earth today, each run by a very small cluster of humans called politicians who (try to suspend your disbelief here) are granted the power to dictate what every other human must do.

A fair number of these politicians share deeply blemished ethical and criminal backgrounds and seek government as a career since it requires no real work, while allowing them to exert authority over others.

Humans exchange goods and services with each other by bartering their labors using a medium of exchange called money. The world’s money creation machinery remains in the control of an ancient tribe of humans in possession of the apocalyptic belief that God chose selected them to dominate all other humans.

This tribe (I call them the Money Makers) has never truly assimilated into the nations within which they reside. Members of this tribe have been expelled countless times from various nations over hundreds of years based on charges of fraudulent financial speculation and chicanery, always to return and repeat their parasitic activities.

The Money Makers have now brought the world’s economies to the brink of implosion and are currently fomenting a war in Europe to save their broken bond market.

Because an imperiled populace always turns to their “leaders” to save them in times of extreme threat and duress, the Money Makers will use the excuse of an economic crisis to delete all government debts (which they have no intention of paying off, anyway), while offering to save the populace from financial ruin with a 100% programmable digital currency that they can install as an “app” on their smartphones.

This app will likely dictate where, and how much of the people’s own digital money they are allowed to spend. The app may even offer users free money for good behavior, like consenting to receive experimental vaccinations and vote for preferred candidates.

To summarize:

• You have no idea where you are.

• You survive in a fragile biosphere being poisoned by crazies in the name of climate change.

• Elected coteries of privileged (and often mentally disturbed) individuals maintain control over you through a process called legislation.

• An ancient cartel controls your money and will soon decide how much you are allowed to own and spend.

I find it enormously refreshing to know where things stand, don’t you?

Excellent! Now that you’re up to speed on things, let us proceed…
