Introduction and Quick Fact of the Day
Well, here we are, another exciting day. We come up to the end of October — October thirtieth, two thousand twelve. One more day to go. Tune in tomorrow with a special Halloween episode. Try to avoid getting down on this creepy, and I hesitate to say, holiday. So come on by tomorrow right here on Revealing Talk Radio. Got to curb the matrix.
Tonight we start off with a quick fact of the day. Women spend nineteen billion dollars a year on makeup. All it takes is arguably twelve billion to feed the world. Ponder that for a while. More money is being spent on makeup than on providing basic healthcare to the women of the world. Chew on that. Both are brought to us by Injustice Facts — appreciate the work they do.
We’ve got some important things to talk about. We haven’t checked out Zen Gardner — have to pop over to ZenGardner.com for some calls. Tonight we’re going to talk about some updates with Hurricane Sandy. This is going to go nuclear or it’s going to end up in a shutdown. The stage is set, and Zen Gardner provides a case for why the authorities could be right around the corner. We have a National Guard whistleblower claiming that he’s got information that doomsday preppers are being treated as terrorists. So with this martial law police state inbound, you’ve got more evidence now. We’re also going to learn how to party like a Goldman Sachs trader. And then we’ll get into the meaning of sacred geometry.
Hurricane Sandy and the Police State
We have this storm — Hurricane Sandy — even at peak, the East Coast right now probably still cannot tune into the show. So our hearts go out to those trying to stay warm and dry and safe, knowing that even though it seems the worst is past, they might not have seen the very worst in terms of what comes moving forward.
Zen Gardner has brought up some good points about the possibilities making themselves available now to the powers that be with the arrival of this manipulated mega-storm in the Northeast. We talked about this last night — HAARP-type dominion. HAARP frequencies have been bombarding the Northeast area for the last three days leading up to the storm. It looks like HAARP was absolutely steering it, at the very least probably augmenting it. We know these guys have the ability to manipulate the weather. It’s been their wet dream — pardon the crude joke — for thirty years, twenty-five years at least. Everyone’s got briefings on how to control the weather. “Owning the Weather by 2025” by the US Air Force. So we know they’ve had this capability. This one is conveniently timed, engineered to serve the purpose of training and desensitizing the military and police forces, and to set the tone for future heavy-handed tactics in whatever usually engineered emergency situations may arise.
The worst yet unfortunately foreshadows what could be even worse — a step toward total takeover and absolute control of information, which results in a scattered and confused, easily picked-off populace. So we’ve heard about this power shutdown and internet kill switch, firmly established by the executive range of executive orders. Imagine now how much they must be itching. Just as it was Rockefeller who said years ago regarding the New World Order — and Kissinger echoed that — all we need is the right excuse, the right emergency. Hitler did it — set fire to the Reichstag, pointed the finger, invaded Poland. We’ve seen the Gulf of Tonkin incident — that ship was never attacked. There was no attack in the Gulf of Tonkin. Completely manipulated, and it led to Vietnam. Fifty thousand, maybe more, soldiers lost their lives in almost a decade-long war over something that didn’t even happen. Same thing with Iraq and the weapons of mass destruction — there were no weapons of mass destruction. How long did we hear Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? For two and a half years, pretty much ever since the invasion of Afghanistan, which was done early March 2003 — shock and awe.
The Taliban were wrecking the poppy fields — a trillion-dollar industry. Ninety percent of the world’s heroin comes from poppy. Production has skyrocketed since the invasion of Afghanistan. The CIA controls the flow of opium out of Afghanistan. So these things start to make sense when you take a closer look at what’s going on.
Hurricane Sandy could indeed be an engineered event that could set the tone for future heavy-handed responses whenever there’s an emergency. Obama’s internet and power grab — what is it? The national emergency preparedness communications functions. The written document lays out a series of directives to govern agencies to put plans in place to communicate with the public. Other nations need an international crisis — it seems to assert that the government can take control of private communications technology, including those used for internet, for covering communications in an emergency. Obviously privacy advocates raised concerns about the scope of this, worrying that they represent a power grab on behalf of the federal government. The executive order and the White House has granted the Department of Homeland Security authority to seize private facilities when necessary, effectively shutting down or limiting civilian communications. That means they can take over and shut down servers.
The broad definition of an emergency — a storm of this magnitude would be a perfect chance to try this out. They said they may need to divert internet availability to emergency services in the future. Will this be the first test, an effort to condition Americans to such state necessity? It’s this idea, folks, of fostering dependency on the authoritarian state.
They’ve recently made two very real announcements. First, Obama’s Attorney General — no authority needed, thank you Big Brother. And now they’re announcing a curfew in Atlantic City beginning this evening. No one’s allowed to move around. Clearly the big wigs are protecting their casinos and other investments. But really interesting things are happening in this storm. We’re seeing things we haven’t seen before — things that usually happen when you put the pressure on people. First, hyping up the fear and exacting the authoritarian state-dependent behavior to absolutely ridiculous degrees.
Another disturbing possibility — Hurricane Sandy was looking to be manipulated before it even started to fully bear down. Clearly a major storm, likely to be immediately hyped from the very start. For example, they were shutting off utilities before the storm, before or during the predicted disaster. Each city was reaching out with prodigious programming to open the floodgates of fear in the minds of millions of people. And they were making sure that this storm would affect the nuclear reactors — pushing the nuclear fear factor here, just like the tsunami that hit Japan.
You can see the threat index by the Weather Channel — the path they were promoting with overlays shows the most intense concentration of nuclear reactors in the country. For anyone with eyes to see, connecting the dots, this was obviously engineered. Benjamin Fulford — cool guy — claims from his insider sources, one being the White Dragon Society, a secret society, said this absolutely was a response to Japan not wanting to fall in line with the global US banking agenda. Typical. We’ve seen that happen in situations like Haiti.
National Guard Whistleblower: Doomsday Preppers Treated as Terrorists
A National Guard whistleblower is claiming that doomsday preppers will be treated as terrorists. You know that oath soldiers take when they join — the oath of service: “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Many of us have heard it before, it’s not new. So begins the oath of enlistment for the US military. But an explosive revelation now — a National Guard whistleblower says soldiers are now being advised to break that oath.
The soldier, referred to only as “Soldier X” on a promise of anonymity, is an Army National Guard member who spoke via phone with Infowars Nightly News producer Rob Dew regarding actions the military would take in the event of an Obama election loss sparking rioting across America’s streets. They want to be prepared for widespread civil unrest, citing not only threats of riots if Mitt Romney would become the next US president, but all threats to the existing power structure.
The soldiers were repeatedly told that preppers will be treated as terrorists. In addition, firearms will be confiscated. “They’ve always said they’ll go after them first,” Soldier X states. Those in charge are acting like preppers will be the worst part of any potential civil unrest. Soldier X also confirmed that many soldiers in the ranks who are known as preppers will be deemed threats. “If you don’t conform, they will get rid of you,” he added. Service members were also warned not to associate with any fellow soldiers who are preppers.
Not only has the military planned for civil unrest should mass chaos break out, but Soldier X also voiced his concerns regarding civilian disarmament. “Our worry is that Obama’s going to do what he says he’s going to do — outlaw weapons altogether. If anybody’s name was on a weapon, they’re going to come to your house and try to take them.”
It would not be the first time National Guardsmen were used unconstitutionally to disarm law-abiding citizens, robbing them of their Second Amendment right to bear arms. Remember after Hurricane Katrina — police and military took to the streets disarming lawful gun owners, including those who were on dry land and had plenty of stored food and water. That was a test, the first time they got to declare martial law in a big way, statewide.
This past summer, an Army manual dated 2006 titled “Civil Disturbance Operations” surfaced, outlining plans not only for operations domestically during mass unrest but actually detaining and potentially killing American citizens who refused to hand over their guns. This manual works in conjunction with FM 3-39.40, “Internment and Resettlement Operations” — another Army manual leaked this year which outlines how to properly detain and intern Americans in re-education camps, including ways that so-called “psy-ops officers” would indoctrinate political activists into developing “an understanding and appreciation of US policies and actions.”
These may be the worst things Obama signed during his term. We talked earlier about taking over the internet, taking over communications, taking over transportation — everything. Blanket coverage of executive orders dismantling our Constitution piece by piece, including a martial law-implementing National Defense Resources Preparedness executive order which gives the president the power to seize private property in the event of any national emergency, including an economic one. Then we got the National Defense Authorization Act — the NDAA — which I’ve been very vocal about and you should be too, which Obama granted powers to disappear and indefinitely detain any citizen without any due process.
It’s easy now to see the tyrannical big picture our government has painted for us, if you’ve been paying any attention. It fuels our need to curb the matrix. Soldier X has made up his mind and plans to stand down — not show up to post. Preppers are becoming regular government targets these days. Most recently, a Mississippi prepper group member with a clean record was taken off his flight and put on the FBI terrorist watch list, stranding him in Hawaii. Other preppers have had their Second Amendment rights stripped without legitimate cause. We’re hearing now that many veterans — people out of the military, no longer in the military — are being labeled as having post-traumatic stress disorder by default because they were in a war, and so they can’t have guns because they’re supposedly a threat.
Please don’t make this show in vain. I’m doing this and putting this information out here so you can do something with it. Take action. We need more people out there to spread the word, get the message out however works for you. The preppers are on the radar of the system — FBI, DHS, CIA — any three-letter agency, doesn’t matter. The Constitution doesn’t exist and everyone is an enemy of the state by default. Absolutely disgusting.
How to Party Like a Goldman Sachs Trader
Time to learn how to party like a Goldman Sachs trader — really go inside the lives of excess of the central bankers. Former executive director Greg Smith resigned from the bank in March with a newspaper opinion piece about the toxic culture at Goldman Sachs. His book “Why I Left Goldman Sachs” recently came out. Chapter one reveals how trainees were forced to attend pre-dawn boot camp-style sessions and endure humiliation if they got their bosses’ lunch orders wrong.
Goldman Sachs executives party in Las Vegas by sharing hot dogs with topless women. The executive who publicly quit the firm has made some fantastic claims of lives of excess. Greg Smith said that during a bachelor weekend for a colleague, sixty people took over the five-star Mandalay Bay hotel where they drank themselves stupid and gambled at all hours.
His book describes a life of excess and drunken debauchery at the firm. Mr. Smith also recalls one coworker who was so arrogant with money that he gave out thousand-dollar casino chips he had just won, saying “That’s what it’s like — enjoy the weekend.” The details in Mr. Smith’s book about Goldman Sachs are not just exposing the culture at the bank but the excess that comes with it. It has raised questions over his integrity, as he freely admits feeling cheated because his bonus one year was a mere five hundred thousand on top of his two hundred thousand base salary. Until now, Mr. Smith painted himself as a principled man who quit because he could not stomach the culture. Now it appears he embraced the Goldman mentality in the beginning as much as the others.
Mr. Smith resigned in March. His resignation letter, which was published in the New York Times, made explosive claims that senior staff called their clients “muppets.” The publication of his book has long threatened to lift the lid on the culture of bullying and greed at Goldman Sachs, and now it appears to be delivering.
Smith said alcohol was part of the culture of the firm and Wall Street in general. Getting smashed with your clients was regular business. In 2005, he attended a bachelor weekend with a managing director called Billy Joe who was playing blackjack with five-hundred-dollar chips. Mr. Smith writes that the German dealt him a seven of clubs. The dealer pushed back a pile of chips, put them in his hand, and said “That’s what it’s like — enjoy the weekend.”
He also talks about a party at New York’s Chelsea Piers for the securities division, which had three thousand people in attendance and nearly as many ice sculptures. All you did was get hammered. Mr. Smith writes about a party at Chelsea Piers in 2006: “It was an unbelievably ostentatious affair.” He also opened up about bonus day, which happened to determine a person’s entire self-worth.
After Mr. Smith’s damaging revelations, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein told staff that internal morale was going to be tested. Mr. Smith was disappointed that he only got five hundred thousand for his work. He said, “By the logic of the outside world, I was being absurdly well compensated. But by the warped logic of Goldman Sachs and Wall Street, I was being screwed.”
The word “muppet” was more widely used than he initially thought. Within days of arriving, he was shocked at how often he heard people — overseers and juniors — refer to clients as muppets. Clients were called muppets when they didn’t understand a complex market concept. If they had trouble comprehending options pricing theory, a client was called a muppet who had no clue about what he was doing.
In the first chapter, the book details how a twenty-one-year-old Mr. Smith arrived at Goldman Sachs’ New York offices on a warm day in June 2001 to begin a summer internship. Upon entering the building, he was issued an immediately demeaning bright orange ID badge that marked him as a newbie. He writes that interns had to carry around folding stools at all times because there were no chairs at the trading desk, and they had to attend a grueling boot camp-style training on top of that. Mr. Smith worked at Goldman Sachs’ New York headquarters before moving to the London office. He recalls how one vice president ridiculed an intern who did not know enough about Goldman Sachs’ stance on Microsoft shares — the trainee practically burst into tears and ran out of the room. On another occasion, a managing director ordered an intern to fetch a cheddar cheese sandwich for lunch, only to receive a cheddar cheese salad. Mr. Smith writes: “He looked up at the kid, closed the container, and threw it in the trash. It was a bit harsh, but it was also a teaching moment.”
Mr. Smith, who received a one-point-five-million-dollar advance payment for his book, in his time at Goldman Sachs went on to become an executive director and head of the company’s US equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In his resignation letter, he said the firm’s culture had changed from one that revolved around teamwork, integrity, and a spirit of humility — doing what is right for clients — to one where mistreating clients for profit had become standard, creating a toxic and destructive environment.
Cocaine use and drug use is rampant on Wall Street — something to the tune of fifty to seventy percent or more of traders are on some kind of stimulant or speed to keep up.
The Meaning of Sacred Geometry
The meaning of sacred geometry — it doesn’t work for everyone to fully grasp how important and ancient this knowledge is. Most of us can think of geometry as a relatively dry, if not altogether boring, subject from our middle school years. What’s fascinating is what truths lie within.
In fact, the methodology of Euclid, set once in a formal structure and masterly exposition of logical thinking, served as mental training, but not the most thrilling read one would undertake in leisure time. But this modern academic approach to the study of geometry sees it as the very embodiment of rationalism and left-brain intellectual process, which has neglected the right-brain intuitive, artistic dimension of the subject.
Sacred geometry synthesizes two dynamic and complementary aspects of geometry into an integrated whole. Robert Lawlor addresses this fundamentally dualistic nature of geometry in his seminal work “Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice” from 1982. The geometry, as a contemplative practice, is personified by the feminine principle. Geometry functions as an intuitive, synthesizing, creative activity of mind associated with the feminine principle. When geometric concepts come to be applied in the technology of daily life, they represent the rational, masculine principle. Contemplative geometry transforms into practical geometry.
Lawlor expresses a crucial idea in the definition of sacred geometry as both a contemplative side and a practical side — an intellectual side and an active side, both right-brained and left-brained. Further differentiating sacred geometry from the ordinary geometry of school days is its relation to number. This difference is succinctly expressed by Miranda Lundy in her superb little book entitled simply “Sacred Geometry”: “Geometry is the unfolding of number in space. It differs from mundane geometry purely in the sense that its movements and concepts are regarded as having symbolic value, and thus can facilitate the evolution of the soul.”
The magnifying and inherent power of sacred geometry is the fact that it also charts the unfolding of number in time — an idea with such compelling ramifications that you could think about it for twenty days on end, to be honest.
Sacred Geometry in Ancient Civilizations
From the earliest appearances of human civilization, the presence and importance of geometry is clearly evident. Geometry was comprehended and utilized by the ancient master builders, going right back to the most ancient civilizations some four and a half millennia ago, which bestowed upon the world such masterworks as the megalithic structures of ancient Europe, the pyramids and temples of pharaonic Egypt, and the step pyramids of Central America.
Geometry continued to be employed from earliest times through all times historically. It was made use of far flung about the globe — in China, South America, pre-Columbian North America by Native Americans, in Africa, Southeast Asia, Phoenicia, Rome, classical Greece, and Europe, from the megaliths of four thousand years ago to the magnificent expressions of the Gothic era.
The provenance of geometry is especially associated with classical Greece — such illustrious figures as Pythagoras, Plato, and Euclid, the first textbook on geometry. It was held in particular high esteem by the ancient Freemasons, which of course traces back to the great cathedral building of the twelfth to fourteenth centuries.
At this point, it’s partially obvious that geometry was and is closely associated with architecture. The great constructions of the human race provided the primary vehicle for the human employment of geometry — you build, you create stuff, and geometry has always been used. It’s also closely associated with art, music, and craft. Ultimately, it must be appreciated that it was apparent to the ancient peoples, as it is becoming increasingly apparent to contemporary students of the subject, that geometry finds its very nature in the fabric of reality — or rather, of nature itself, both biological and cosmic. And now, thanks to scientific inquiry, the realization dawns that geometry lies at the basis of the molecular and anatomical levels of creation.
For example, you can look at Ernst Chladni’s experiments — cymatics experiments. If you check on YouTube, you can see how when you sprinkle salt on a frequency plate and dial up the frequency, it makes the salt and fragments form shapes. If you sprinkle salt, sugar, or whatever substance on a dark plate and bring up the frequency, you can see it create geometric shapes. And this is true — frequency has geometric shapes that continue to break down into smaller and smaller pieces with more and more pieces, just like cellular division. You’re actually watching cellular division. All of this is the tweaking of sound, which has this intrinsic geometry built in. Absolutely fascinating.
Sacred Geometry as the Blueprint of Creation
The word “geometry” itself means “earth measure.” The ancient Egyptians regularly utilized geometry to resurvey the fertile farmland of the Nile River floodplain in late summer after existing boundaries were buried by the new deposits — thick layers of silt from the annual flooding. So the idea of “earth measure” — but on a much larger scale, literally the measure of the Earth itself. “Geo” — geodesic sense.
The entrance to Plato’s Academy was inscribed with the phrase: “Let none enter here who are ignorant of geometry.” Whether or not the story is apocryphal, it should make sense to anyone who’s attempted the heights of metaphysical experience and knowledge that fundamental training in geometry — to develop the rational faculties and reasoning ability to high levels of proficiency — would be a prerequisite for successful completion of the metaphysical journey, given the many traps, snares, and pitfalls that await the individual who pursues to tread the path of knowledge.
That’s what we’re here to do — avoid the traps, look past the pitfalls, curb the matrix, and get the real picture. When you have all the information — correct information, or at least more correct information — you certainly won’t be right all the time, but I think you’re pointed in a better direction with much better quality information by looking in the right places. Curb the matrix with us — one of many, just one tiny slice.
From several centuries ago: “If we consider the symmetry and order which govern the works of creation, we must admit that geometry pervades the universe. By geometry, we may curiously trace nature’s various windings to her most concealed recesses. By it, we discover how the planets move in their respective orbits and demonstrate their various revolutions. By it, we account for the return of seasons and the variety of scenes which each season displays to the discerning eye. We discover the power, wisdom, and goodness of the Grand Architect of the Universe, and view with delight the proportions which connect the vast machine.” That’s from a Masonic lecture from a few centuries ago.
So we’re introduced to another fundamental concept: that geometry provides the means by which God — as the Great Architect of the Universe — is able to frame the template of creation. The Freemasons, as inheritors and initiates into the mysteries for centuries, held the conception of the universe as structured with an invisible blueprint set down by the hand of the Grand Geometrician, and to which the study of geometry provided the key and the means to render visible that which was concealed to the truly undiscerning and untrained eye.
These fundamental geometric relations manifested in pattern and number form the very basis of harmony. The idea of God as Great Architect and Geometrician found expression through numerous sources throughout the ages. The great Christian theologian Saint Augustine, who held both Pythagoras and Plato in high regard, grasped the significance of geometric form, the power of proportion, and the representation of numeric symbolism when he stated: “Numbers are the thoughts of God.” He further said: “The construction of the physical and moral world alike is based on eternal numbers.” Galileo clearly understood this geometric and numerical dimension of reality when he said: “Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe.”
Johannes Kepler, the famous artist and scientist, said: “Geometry existed before the creation. It is co-eternal with the mind of God. Geometry provided God with a model for the creation.” So Kepler clearly envisioned geometry as existing upon the archetypal level prior to the manifestation of natural creation, serving as the model utilized by the Great Architect. The study and practice of sacred geometry reveals this invisible geometric matrix as the template upon which the universe expresses itself through space and time, framed by the hand of the Great Architect.
See this repeating term — “Great Architect” — throughout history. God, Source, the Great Architect — whatever you want to call it, there’s some kind of intelligence here that has laid a fascinating framework. Pythagoras also expressed the idea of architect or geometrician as expressed through number when he wrote: “Behind the wall, the gods play. They play with numbers, of which the universe is made up.”
Last but not least, French architect Jacques Guillame wrote: “The world around us is a world of numbers — numbers that are organized by the geometry of figures, all related to one another according to a law or harmony of dynamic symmetry. Glimpses into this magnificent kingdom form the basis of all our knowledge, and it seems that in this domain, ancient civilizations had gone further than modern science.”
So there is hope. That’s a little bit about sacred geometry — just the tip of the iceberg. Geometry is an exact science. It leaves nothing to chance. It’s fascinating, informative, quite remarkable, and arguably important. Take this information and do with it what you will. Take some action. Come back tomorrow — brand new day, brand new topics to talk about.
