The Resources Minister is hoping to use an Australia trip to entice investment in New Zealand mining. Shane Jones is leaving today to attend and speak at the International Mining and Resources Conference in Sydney. The Government is including mining projects in the fast-track consent legislation and revising overseas investment criteria. Jones told Tim Beveridge it's important to amplify the message New Zealand is open for business. “Too many Kiwis don't find an opportunity in New Zealand in such work, and by opening it up, attracting investment with the necessary guardrails, New Zealand can add to our GDP by finally using not only the predictable minerals, but rare minerals that we possess.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

église AB Lausanne ; KJV Judges 16 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her. And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him. And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron. And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver. And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them. Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known. And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound. ...
Judges 14 verses 5 to 20. As Samson and his parents were going down to Timnah, a young lion suddenly attacked Samson near the vineyards of Timnah. At that moment the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he ripped the lion's jaws apart with his bare hands. He did it as easily as if it were a young goat. But he didn't tell his father or mother about it. When Samson arrived in Timnah, he talked with the woman and was very pleased with her. Later, when he returned to Timnah for the wedding, he turned off the path to look at the carcass of the lion. And he found that a swarm of bees had made some honey in the carcass. He scooped some of the honey into his hands and ate it along the way. He also gave some to his father and mother, and they ate it. But he didn't tell them he had taken the honey from the carcass of the lion. As his father was making final arrangements for the marriage, Samson threw a party at Timnah, as was the custom for elite young men. When the bride's parents saw him, they selected thirty young men from the town to be his companions. Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle. If you solve my riddle during these seven days of the celebration, I will give you thirty fine linen robes and thirty sets of festive clothing. But if you can't solve it, then you must give me thirty fine linen robes and thirty sets of festive clothing.” “All right,” they agreed, “let's hear your riddle.” So he said: “Out of the one who eats came something to eat; out of the strong came something sweet.” Three days later they were still trying to figure it out. On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, “Entice your husband to explain the riddle for us, or we will burn down your father's house with you in it. Did you invite us to this party just to make us poor?” So Samson's wife came to him in tears and said, “You don't love me; you hate me! You have given my people a riddle, but you haven't told me the answer.” “I haven't even given the answer to my father or mother,” he replied. “Why should I tell you?” So she cried whenever she was with him and kept it up for the rest of the celebration. At last, on the seventh day he told her the answer because she was tormenting him with her nagging. Then she explained the riddle to the young men. So before sunset of the seventh day, the men of the town came to Samson with their answer: “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” Samson replied, “If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have solved my riddle!” Then the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him. He went down to the town of Ashkelon, killed thirty men, took their belongings, and gave their clothing to the men who had solved his riddle. But Samson was furious about what had happened, and he went back home to live with his father and mother. So his wife was given in marriage to the man who had been Samson's best man at the wedding.
Beneath the sky where waters gleam,A ship of plenty rides the waves,With every taste, a gourmet dream,In endless rows that foodies crave. The tables groan with bounty spread,From dawn to dusk, the feast remains,A symphony of scents is led,By chefs who craft in grand domains. Buffets stretch far, like oceans wide,With fruits and sweets in colors bold,Where hunger finds no place to hide,As platters gleam with gems of gold. From breakfast's light to midnight's call,The plates are filled with every fare,A banquet in each grand dining hall,Where every bite's a taste of care. Exotic dishes, comfort's friend,Entice with flavors, rich and deep,The endless bounty seems no end,A food lover's most treasured keep. And as the ship sails on its course,The feast aboard, a voyage too,A journey through the senses' source,Where every meal is something new.

Even in our ______________, God can still accomplish His purposes through us. [Judges 13:5] You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and his hair must never be cut.

[Judges 14:5-6] As Samson and his parents were going down to Timnah, a young lion suddenly attacked Samson near the vineyards of Timnah. [6] At that moment the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him, and he ripped the lion's jaws apart with his bare hands. He did it as easily as if it were a young goat. But he didn't tell his father or mother about it. Samson's strength came from _________ ___________, not his own abilities. [Judges 14:14-18] So he said: "Out of the one who eats came something to eat; out of the strong came something sweet." Three days later they were still trying to figure it out. [15] On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband to explain the riddle for us, or we will burn down your father's house with you in it. Did you invite us to this party just to make us poor?" [16] So Samson's wife came to him in tears and said, "You don't love me; you hate me!

[17] Finally, Samson shared his secret with her. "My hair has never been cut," he confessed, "for I was dedicated to God as a Nazirite from birth.

The Philistines have come to capture you!" When he woke up, he thought, "I will do as before and shake myself free." But he didn't realize the LORD had left him.

In the realm of mental health, the role of an anxiety therapist is often shrouded in mystery and misconceptions. To shed light on this crucial profession, Joshua Fletcher, also known as AnxietyJosh, shares insights from his latest book, "And How Does That Make You Feel?: Everything You (N)ever Wanted to Know About Therapy," in a candid conversation with Kimberley Quinlan on her podcast. Joshua's book aims to demystify the therapeutic process, offering readers an intimate look behind the therapy door. It's not just a guide for those struggling with anxiety but an engaging narrative that invites the general public into the world of therapy. The book's unique angle stems from a simple yet intriguing question: Have you ever wondered what your therapist is thinking? One of the book's key revelations is the humanity of therapists. Joshua emphasizes that therapists, like their clients, are complex individuals with their own vices, flaws, and inner dialogues. The book begins with a scene where Joshua, amidst a breakthrough session with a client, battles an array of internal voices—from the biological urge to use the restroom to the critical voice questioning his decision to drink an Americano right before the session. This honest portrayal extends to the array of voices that therapists and all humans contend with, including anxiety, criticism, and analytical thinking. Joshua's narrative skillfully normalizes the internal chatter that professionals experience, even as they maintain a composed exterior. The conversation also touches upon the diverse modalities of therapy, highlighting the importance of finding the right approach for each individual's needs. Joshua jests about "The Yunger Games," a fictional annual event where therapists from various modalities compete, underscoring the passionate debates within the therapeutic community regarding the most effective treatment methods. A significant portion of the book delves into the personal growth and challenges therapists face, including dealing with their triggers and the balance between professional detachment and personal empathy. Joshua shares an anecdote about experiencing a trigger related to grief during a session, illustrating how therapists navigate their emotional landscapes while maintaining focus on their clients' needs. The awkwardness of encountering clients outside the therapy room is another aspect Joshua candidly discusses. He humorously describes the internal turmoil therapists experience when meeting clients in public, highlighting the delicate balance of maintaining confidentiality and acknowledging the shared human experience. Joshua's book, and his conversation with Kimberley, paint a vivid picture of the life of an anxiety therapist. It's a role filled with challenges, personal growth, and the profound satisfaction of facilitating others' journeys toward mental wellness. By pulling back the curtain on the therapeutic process, Joshua hopes to demystify therapy, making it more accessible and less intimidating for those considering it. In essence, being an anxiety therapist is about embracing one's humanity, continuously learning, and engaging in the most human conversations without judgment. It's a profession that requires not only a deep understanding of mental health but also a willingness to confront one's vulnerabilities and grow alongside their clients. Through his book and the insights shared in this conversation, Joshua Fletcher invites us all to appreciate the intricate dance of therapy—a dance that, at its best, can be life-changing for both the therapist and the client. Transcript: Kimberley: I'm very happy to have back on the show Joshua Fletcher, a dear friend of mine and quite a rock star. He has written a new book called And How Does That Make You Feel?: Everything You (N)ever Wanted to Know About Therapy. Welcome back, Josh. Joshua: It's good to be back. Thanks, Kim. When was the last time we spoke together on a podcast? I think you were on The Disordered podcast not so long ago. That was lovely. But I remember my guest appearance on Your Anxiety Toolkit was lovely. HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? Kimberley: I know. I'm so happy to actually spend some time chatting with you together. I'm very excited about your new book. It's all about therapy and anxiety and what it's really like to be an anxiety therapist and the process of therapy and all the things. How did this book come about? Joshua: I wanted to write a book about people who struggle with anxiety, but in the mainstream, because a lot of the literature out there is very self-help, and it's in a certain niche. One of my biggest passions is to write something engaging with a nice plot where people are reading about something or a storyline that they're interested in whilst inadvertently learning without realizing you're learning. That's my kind of entertainment—when I watch a show and I've learned a lot about something or when I've read a book and I've inadvertently learned loads of things because I'm taking in the plot. With this book, I wanted to write a book about therapy. Now, that initially might not get people to pick it up, might not interest you, might not interest you about anxiety therapy, but I wanted to write something that anyone could pick up and enjoy and learn lots because I want to share our world that we work in with the general public. And so, the hook that I focused on here was, have you ever wanted to know what your therapist is thinking? And I thought, well, I'm going to tell people what I'm thinking, and I'm going to invite people behind the therapy door, and you're going to see what I do and what's going on in my head as I'm trying to work with people who struggle with mental health. I wrote the pitch for it. People went bananas, and they loved it because it's not been done before. Not necessarily a good thing if it's not been done before. And here we are. I love it. I'm really proud of it. I want people to laugh, cry, be informed. If you go on a journey, learn more about therapy, learn more about anxiety. All in one book. THERAPISTS ARE HUMANS TOO Kimberley: Yeah. I think that one of the many cool things about it is, as a therapist, people seem to be always very curious or intrigued about therapists, about what it's like and what it's like to be in a room with someone who's really struggling, or when you're handling really difficult topics, and how to be just a normal human being and a therapist at the same time. Joshua: Yeah. What I want to write about is to remind people that therapists are humans. We have our vices and flaws. I'm not talking on behalf of you, Kim. I'm sure you're perfect. Kimberley: No, no. No, no. Flawed as flawed could be. Joshua: Yeah, but to a level that it's like, even our brains have different voices in them all the time, different thought processes as part of our rationalization. And I want people to peer inside that and have a look. So, one of them is like the book opens with me and a client and it's going really well, and this person's talking, this character's talking about where they're up to, and celebrating on the brink of something great. And then there's the voice of biology that just pops into the room, into my head. And it's the biology of you need to go to the toilet. Why did it? And then the voice of critic comes in and says, “Why did you drink an Americano moments before this client?” Now you're sat here, and you can leave if you want, but it would be distasteful. And you're on this brink of this breakthrough. And so, I've got this argument going on in my head, going, “You need the toilet.” “Yeah, but this person's on a breakthrough.” And then I got empathy, like, “Yeah, but they feel so vulnerable. They want to share this.” And then you've got analytical and all the chaotic conversations that are happening as a therapist as I'm sat there nodding and really wanting the best for my client. THE VOICES IN OUR HEAD Kimberley: Exactly. That's why I thought it was so brilliant. So, for those of you who haven't read it, I encourage you to, but Josh really outlines at the beginning of the book all of these different voices that therapists and all humans have. There's the anxiety's voice and there's biology, which you said, like, “I need to go to the restroom,” or there's the critic that's judging you, or there's the analytical piece, which is the clinical piece that's making sense of the client and what's going on and the relationship and all the things. And I really resonated with that because I think that we think as clinicians, as we get better and more seasoned, that we only show up with this professional voice we're on the whole time, but we're so not. We're so not on the whole time. This whole chatter is happening in the background. And I think you did a beautiful job of just normalizing that. Joshua: Thanks, Kim. It's a book that therapists will like, but do you know what? People will identify their own voices in this, particularly the anxiety. You and I talk about anxiety all day every day, always beginning with what if—that voice of worry that sits around a big table of thoughts and tries to shout the loudest and often gets our attention. And I tried to show that this happens to a lot of people as well. It's just the what-if is different. So, for some people, it's, “What if this intrusive thought is true?” For some people, it's, “What if I have a panic attack?” For some people, it's, “What if this catastrophe I've been ruminating on for so long happens?” For therapists, it's, “What if the worst thing that happens here, even in the therapy room?” I'm an anxiety therapist that has been through anxiety, and I still get anxiety because I'm human. So, I celebrate these voices as well. Also, because I'm human, I can be critical almost always of myself in the book. So, I'm not just criticizing the people I'm working with. Absolutely not. But that voice comes in, and it's about balancing it and showing the work and what a lot of training to be a therapist is. It's about choosing the voice. And I didn't realize how much training to be a therapist actually helps me live day-to-day. Actually, I'm more rational when making more life decisions because I can choose to observe each voice, which was integral to me overcoming an anxiety disorder, as well as just facing life's challenges every day. WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A THERAPIST? Kimberley: Right. Because we're really today talking a lot about what it's ACTUALLY like to be a therapist—and I emphasize the word ‘actually'—what is it actually like to be a therapist, if we were to be really honest? Joshua: One thing I mentioned is that I talk about the therapeutic hour, which is how long, Kimberley? Kimberley: Fifty minutes. Joshua: Yeah. The therapy took out and I explained what we do in the 10 minutes that we have between clients on a busy day. And people imagine us doing meditation or grounding ourselves or reflecting or whatever. Sometimes I do do that. Sometimes I just scroll Reddit, look at memes, eat candy, and do nothing. And it's different each time. That's what I'm doing. I'm not some mystic sage in my office, sitting sinisterly under the lamplight waiting for you to come in. No, I'm usually faffing around, panicking, checking that I don't look like a scruff, putting a brush through my hair, trying to hide the stains of food I've got on my shirt because I overzealously consume my lunch. And there's obviously some funny stories in there, but also there's dark stuff in there as well. When I trained to be a therapist, I went through grief, and I made some quite unethical decisions back when I was training. Not the ones I'm proud of, but it actually shows the serious side of mental health and that a lot of therapists become therapists because of their own journeys. And I know that that applies to a lot of therapists I know. Kimberley: For sure. I have to tell a story. A few months ago—I'm a member of lots of these therapist Facebook groups—one of the therapists asked a question and said, “Tell me a little bit what your hour looks like before you see a client. What's your routine or your procedure pre-clients?” And all these people were saying, “I journal and I meditate and all of these things.” Some people were like, “I water the plants and I get my laptop open.” And I just posted a meme of someone who's pushing all the crap off my table and screeching into the computer screen and being like sitting up straight. And all of these people responded like, “Thank God,” because all the therapists were beautifully saying, and I just came in here honestly, “Sometimes I literally sit down, open the laptop, and it is a mess. But I can in that moment be like, ‘Take a breath,' and be like, ‘Tell me how you're doing.'” Like you said, how does that end? We start the therapeutic hour. And I think that we have to normalize therapists being that kind of person. Joshua: Definitely. I think one of the barriers to people seeking therapy is that power dynamic, that age-old trope that someone stood leaning against a mahogany bookcase. You've probably got a mahogany bookcase. Your practice is really nice. I certainly have. I've got an Ikea KALLAX unit full of books I've never read. Kimberley: Exactly. Your books aren't organized by color because mine are not. Joshua: No, no. There's just some filler books in there. Just like, why is Catcher in the Rye? Why is Catcher in the Rye? I don't know, I just put it on there. I just want to look clever. Anyway, it's like people are afraid of that power dynamic of some authority figure going in there about to judge them, mind-read them, shame them, or analyze them. And no, I think dispelling that myth by showing how human we are can challenge that power dynamic. It certainly did for me. I would much rather open up to someone who isn't showing the pretense that they have all of life together. Don't get me wrong, professionalism is essential, but someone who's professional and human, because going to therapy is some of the most human experiences you'll ever do. I don't want someone who isn't showing too scared to show that sign or certain elements of being human, but obviously professionally. And it's a fine balance to get. But when you do find a therapist like that, for me personally, one who's knowledgeable, compassionate, empathetic, has humility, I think beautiful things can happen. Kimberley: Yeah. I think you use the word that I exactly was thinking of, which is, it's such a balancing act to, as a therapist, honor your own humanity from a place of compassion. Like, yeah, we're not going to have it all together and it's not going to be perfect, and we won't say the right thing all the time. But at the same time, be thoughtful and have the skills and the supervision to balance it so that you are showing up really professional and from that clinical perspective. DO THERAPISTS GET CONSULTATION? Tell me a little bit about consultation as a clinician. I know for me, I require a lot of consultation for cases, not because I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm always going to be honest with the fact that maybe I'm seeing it from a perspective that I hadn't thought of yet. What are your thoughts on that kind of topic? Joshua: Therapy's got to work for both people as well, because the therapeutic connection, I believe, is one of the drivers that promotes therapeutic growth and change. It promotes trust. I will consult with clients and my supervisor and make sure it's right. I'm not everyone's cup of tea, but for people, particularly with anxiety disorders, I think they like to know and come to therapy. I think I've used self-disclosure on my public platforms tastefully in the sense that I know what it's like to have gone through an anxiety disorder, whether it's OCD or panic disorder or agoraphobia, and come out the other side. But also, it's balancing that with, “Actually, I'm your therapist here. I will help you in a therapeutic setting and use my training.” You know I'm not someone who's got everything worked out, but you do know that someone who can relate that can step into your frame of reference, something I talk about a lot in the book frame of reference and empathy. If you feel like a therapist has done that and is in your frame of reference and it's like, “Ah, yeah, they get it or they're at least trying,” and we as therapists feel like there's a connection there too on a professional and therapeutic level, I think magic can happen. And I love therapy for that. Not all therapy is great and beautiful and wonderful. Some of it is messy, and some of it just doesn't work sometimes. And I do talk about that too, but it's about when you get that intricate dance and match between therapist and client, I think it's life-changing. WHAT TYPE OF PERSON DO YOU NEED TO BE TO BECOME AN ANXIETY THERAPIST? Kimberley: Yeah. What do you think about the type of person you would have to be to be an anxiety specialist, especially if you're doing exposure and response prevention? The reason I ask that is I have a private practice in California. I have eight clinicians that work for me. Almost every time I have a position that's open, and when I'm interviewing people to come on to my team, I would say 60% come in, and they're good to go. They're like, “I want to do this. I love the idea of exposure therapy.” But there is often 40% who say, “I'm not cut out for this work. This is not how I was trained. It's not how I think about things.” After I've explained to them what we do and the success rate and the science behind it, they clearly say, “This isn't for me.” What are your thoughts about what it takes or what kind of person it takes to be an anxiety specialist? Joshua: That's a great question. First of all, you've got to trust and believe in the modality that you're trained in. You and I use the principles a lot of cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure response prevention. I've got first-hand experience of that. You've got to trust the science and what we know about human biology, which is really important. It's about what you're trading in that modality. What I talk about -- again, see how I'm segueing it back to the book. Brilliant. I've done my media training, Kim. It's like, “Always go back to the book. Come on, Josh.” One of my favorite chapters in the book is explaining about modalities because a lot of people just think therapy is one big world where you see a therapist, they wave a magic wand, you feel better, and suddenly our parents love us again. No, that's not how it works. Kimberley: It's not? DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANXIETY THERAPISTS Joshua: No, it's not. Mental health has different presentations, and a modality is a school of thought that approaches difficulties in mental health. So, the first modality I go to is person-centered, which is counseling skills, listening, empathy, unconditional positive regard. The Carl Rogers way of thinking—I think I love that. Is that good for OCD, intrusive thoughts, exposure therapy, and phobias? Not really. It's nice to have a base of that because there's more chance of a therapist being understanding, stepping in your frame of reference, and supporting you through that modality. But I wouldn't say it's equipped for that. Whereas in CBT, a lot of it is psychoeducation, which I love. And that's a different modality. Cognitive behavioral sciences, whether it's third wave, when you're looking at acceptance commitment, where are you looking at exposure response prevention. There's lots of song and dance about I-CBT at the moment and things like that. They're all different modalities and skills of thought. Then you've got psychodynamic, which is the mahogany bookcase, lie on the sofa, let's play word association. Oh yeah, you want to sleep with your mom, Josh? No, I don't. That's nothing to do with why I keep having panic attacks in the supermarket. Stop judging me. But that's a different type of approach. Jungian approach can be quite insightful, but it's got to match what the presentation is for you. I think CBT is my favorite, but it sucks for stuff like grief. When I was grieving, I did not want CBT. I did not want my grief formulated. I did not want to see that my behaviors were perpetuating discomfort. I was like, “Yeah, that's just part of my grieving process.” And in this chapter, I just talk about the different modalities. Therapists are very passionate about the modality of the school that they train in because you have to give part of yourself to it. You have to go through it yourself. And I'm very passionate about the modalities I'm trained in. And so, I play on this in the book. There's a chapter called The Younger Games or The Yunger Games, a play on words. And basically, it's once-a-year therapists from every modality, whether it's hypnotherapy, transactional analysis, CBT, person-centered, the trauma-informed. All of these, they all meet up in a field, and we all fight to the death. And the last remaining person is crowned the one true modality. Now last year, it was hypnotherapy. And what I also say is that a betting tip for next year is the trauma-informed. So, every year, I'll keep you updated on The Yunger Games. And basically, it's a narrative device to explain that. Within the world of therapy, there are different types of therapists. You and I, we love CBT. We'll bang the drum for that. We feel that there's not enough ERP out there that certainly isn't, particularly with the evidence and the points towards it and mountains of evidence. But other therapists may not feel the same. So, when people come to work at CBT School and they realize that Dumbledore, aka Kim Quinlan, is like, “No, we do ERP here; we've got to get down and dirty and do the horrible work,” they're like, “That's not conducive to the softer step-back approach that I've trained in, in my modality.” Kimberley: Yeah. I'm always so happy that they just are honest with me. I remember as an intern at OCD Center in Los Angeles very clearly saying, “Are you okay talking about really very sexual, very, very graphic topics?” He listed off. Like, “Here is what you're going to need to be able to talk about very clearly with a very straight face. You can't have a wincing look on your face when you talk about intrusive, violent sexual thoughts. You're going to have to be up for the game.” And I think that was a big thing for me. But what I think is really cool about your book, and you see now I'm bringing it back to your book, is it doesn't mean the voice isn't in your head sometimes questioning you. As I was reading it, I'm like, there is an imposter in therapists all the time saying, like you said, the critic that's like, “You don't know what you're doing. You're a failure. You're a flake. You're a complete fraud. You haven't got it together. Maybe you haven't even worked on the thing yourself yet.” That's going to be there. Joshua: Yeah, and I still get that. I can't speak for you. But I think what makes a good therapist is a therapist who self-doubts. You don't want to go and see a therapist who thinks that they've got it all worked out. That's a red flag in itself. A good therapist is one that always wants to improve and uses that doubt and anxiety to make themselves a better therapist. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty confident in my ability to be a therapist now, but there are challenges. In the book, the voices that come up, there's 13 of them. One of them is escapist, which is, “I just want to get the hell out of you,” or “Maybe I want to get rid of this client. I'm not equipped for it.” And then the other voices come in and they're like, “But maybe this is just you being critical,” or “The evidence suggests that actually you are trained for this,” and navigating that doubt, the anxiety that your therapist has. And I think it's a beautiful thing. A lot of therapists are very harsh on themselves, but I think it's a gift to have that inner critic. Because if you stand there like one of these therapists, and these therapists do exist, unfortunately, I have completed all my training. I know everything inside out. My word is gospel. I worked out what the problem was with this person within 10 minutes. You don't want to talk to that person. What a close-minded moron. And there's a judgmental voice from a therapist. Kimberley: No, but I think that's informed. Joshua: So, it celebrates the vulnerability. You want a therapist who's not got everything worked out. Absolutely. I do anyway. Kimberley: Yeah, for sure. I'm wondering, how often have you had to work through your own shit in the room with a client? Meaning—I'll give you a personal example—the very first time I ever experienced derealization for myself was with a client, and I was sitting across from them. They were just talking, and all of a sudden, I had this shift, like everything wasn't real. Their head looked enormous and their body looked tiny. Like they were this tiny little bobbly head thing on the couch. And I knew what was happening. Thankfully, I knew what it was like. I knew what it was. Otherwise, I probably would have panicked, but I had to spend the rest of the session being as level and mindful as I could as I watched their head just bubble around in this disproportionate way. I got through it. I can say confidently I think I pulled it off really well, but it was hard. And I left the session being like, “What the heck just happened?” Has there been any experiences for you like that? Joshua: Yeah, all the time. I mean, first of all, I'd question if you did have derealization. I was your client with a giant head and a tiny body. I was like, “What's going on here?” There wasn't derealization. That's my body, Kim. Kimberley: No, that's just how I look, Kimberley. Joshua: It's just how I look. Kimberley: “Stop judging.” Joshua: But in general, no, it's true. And again, one of the voices in my book, And How Does That Make You Feel?, it's called trigger because therapists, they have to give a lot of themselves and they're living a life and have had stuff in their past. One of the voices is trigger. One of the things I get asked a lot is, I don't know about you, Kim, “If you've had anxiety, how can you work with it all day?” I'm like, “Because I'm all right with it. It's okay now.” Sometimes it creeps in, though, if I'm tired or have not slept well. There's stress in my personal life that you can't avoid. Maybe I've not eaten too well. Maybe it's just ongoing things. Sometimes trigger can happen, and it can be a stress-induced trigger or it could be a literal trigger from a traumatic event. So, in the book, I explain when people bring grief and death, that sometimes makes me feel vulnerable because of my own experiences with grief and death. No spoilers, but the book throughout, one of the themes is why I became a therapist. Not only because of my passion for anxiety disorders and to be self-righteous around other therapists, train different modalities, but also because it's a very grief-informed decision to want to help people. And there's several traumatic stories. One traumatic story around grief, that trigger, the voice of trigger will come up. So, a client could be talking about their life, like, “I've lost this person; I'm going to talk about it.” And of all these 13 voices around the table, what your therapist is thinking, trigger then shouts loudest. It goes, “Ah, trigger.” There's some pain that you've not felt for a while and I've got to navigate it. You navigated the derealization, the dissociation. You've got to navigate it somehow by pulling on the other voices. And not only do therapists do this, but people do this as well sometimes, whether you've got to be professional or you don't want to turn up to your friend's birthday and just listen to trigger and anxiety and start crying all over your friend's birthday cake. You might do. It's quite funny, but not funny. Kimberley: I was going to say, what's wrong with that? Joshua: Have you done it again? I thought you stopped that. Kimberley: Yeah. You haven't done that? Joshua: It's part of the interview at CBT School. You need to do really hard, tricky things. Go to your best friend's birthday and make it all about you. Kimberley: Exactly. Joshua: But yeah, it's one of those. It crops up. The book's funny a lot, but it's good. It takes some really serious turns, and it shows you a lot of stuff can creep in and how I deal with it as a therapist. And I'm sure you related to it as well, Kim, because we do the same job, but you just do it in a sunnier climate. SEEING CLIENTS IN PUBLIC Kimberley: Right. What I can say, and this will be the last thing that I point out, is you also address the awkwardness of being a therapist, seeing your clients in public and the awkwardness of that, or the, “Oh crap, I know this person from somewhere.” Again, no trigger. I don't want to give the fun parts of the book, but as a therapist, particularly as someone who does exposure therapy, I might go across the road and take a client to have coffee because they've got to do exposures. We very often do see people, our clients, our friends in our work. How much does that impact the work that you do? Joshua: If you ever bump into your therapist, just know that you have all the power there. Your therapist is squirming inside, “I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know. Do I completely blank this person?” But then I look like a dick. “Do I give a subtle nod? Oh, you're breaking confidentiality. They're out with loved ones.” It's up to you. You can put your therapist out of their misery by just saying, “Hey, Kim.” “Hey, Josh.” And then I will say hi back because that shows that you're okay with that. There is a very extreme shocking version of this story, of this incident in the book where, when I'm at my lowest, I do bump into a previous client. On a night out, when I'm off my face on alcohol. Oh, if you want to find out more about that... Media training's really paid off. Get him on the hip. Kimberley: I didn't want to give it all away, and you just did. Joshua: No, no, not giving any more away. A media training woman said, “Entice them, then leave it, because then they're more likely to read it.” So, I have listened to that media woman because my previous tactic of just begging and screaming into a camera doesn't work. It's like... Kimberley: But going back exactly—going back, we are squirming. I think that is true that there is a squirm factor there when you see clients, and it happens quite regularly for me. But I think I've come to overcome that by really disclosing ahead of time. Like if I see you outside, you're in the place of power, you decide what to do, and I'll just follow your suit. It's a squirm factor, though. Joshua: See, that's clever, good therapy stuff because you do it all part of the contracting and stuff. Actually, I told all my clients this is okay. But also, when you're a new therapist or sometimes you forget, you're like, “Oh no.” I used to run a music night in Manchester as part thing I did on the side. Enjoy it, love music, I was the host. One week I was on holiday, so a friend organized all the lineup of people to come down. Headline Act was a band name. Went along, and when I'm there, I'm having fun. I've got whiskey in my hand. I'm walking around telling irreverent, horrible jokes. No one in there would guess I was a therapist because I'm having fun and I'm entitled to a life outside the therapy room. What I didn't know was that the Headline Act was a current client, and they'd just arrived dead late. They didn't know, and they walked on stage, and I looked. It's something that they've gone on publicly to talk about, so this is why I'm saying it now. I got permission to use it because they said it publicly on the radio and stuff like that. And we just looked at each other. It was like, “Oh my God.” And I stood there with this. I was like, “Oh my God.” And I've said all this bad language and cracking jokes, roasting people in the audience, my friends usually. And it's like, yeah, I was squirming. So, at this point, I did just pretend I didn't know them because it was the best I could do. And they got me out of trouble. They were obviously confident in performance mode. And they got onto mic and was like, “Can you believe that guy is my therapist?” And I was like, “What?” I was like, “Wow.” And then he said some really lovely things. And it wasn't really awkward in therapy. If anything, it was quite something we laughed about in therapy afterwards, and it contributed to it. But yeah, the horror I felt. Oh, I felt sick, and oh. I don't want to think about it. FINAL CONCLUSIONS Kimberley: I want to be respectful of time. Of course, before you share this all about you and where people can get a hold of you and learn about your book, is there anything you want to say final point about what it's like to actually be an anxiety therapist? Joshua: It's the best job in the world for me. It's the best job in the world. All my friends and family go, “I don't care how you can do that.” I love it. I get to have the most human conversations with people without judgment. You mentioned before about intrusive thoughts. I've got the magic guitar in this room, and we make songs about horrible intrusive thoughts. There was one the other day about kicking babies down the stairs. You can't say that out loud. Yes, we do in here, to the three chords of the guitar I only know, particularly postpartum mothers. Kimberley: You told me we couldn't sing today. Joshua: No, I'm not singing. Kimberley: I wanted to sing today, and now you're telling me we can't sing. Joshua: I don't think it's going to be Christmas number one—a three-chord banger about harming loved ones or sexual intrusive thoughts—but you never know. Yeah, it's the most beautiful job. Kimberley: I am known to sing intrusive thoughts to happy birthday songs. Joshua: That's a good one. I have to close my window though in my office because I do get scared that people walk past and like, “Wow, that's a very disturbed man.” No, he's not. I'm confident in the powers of ERP and how it can help. Kimberley: You are. I love it. Josh, tell us where we can hear more about your book and learn more about you. Joshua: I'm Joshua Fletcher, also known as AnxietyJosh on social media and stuff. The book is called And How Does That Make You Feel?: Everything You (N)ever Wanted to Know About Therapy. It follows the stories of the four client case studies, obviously highly scrambled and anonymized, and gone through a rigorous ethical process there. So, don't be like, “He's talking about his clients.” No, that's not what the book's about. It's about appearing in behind the therapy room door. It's out in the US before the UK, which is here. I don't know if anyone's watching or whatever, but there it is. And it's also been commissioned to be a television show for major streaming services. We don't know which one yet, but it's exciting. Go get yourself a copy. It should be in your bookstore. Get it at Barnes & Noble and all the other US ones. And I think you'll really enjoy it. So, it's a really lovely endorsement. Kim has also said it's really good, and Kim is harsh. So, if Kim says it's good, then it's going to be good. And I hope you really enjoy it and pass it on to a loved one who doesn't have anxiety, and you'll find that, “Oh, I actually learned quite a lot there whilst laughing and being captivated by the absolute bananas behind-the-scenes life of being a therapist.” Kimberley: Yeah, I love it. Josh, the way that you present it, if I was scared to go to therapy, I think it would make me less scared. I think it would make me feel like this is something I could do. Joshua: And that's the best compliment I can receive, because that's why I wrote the book. So, thank you so much. Kimberley: Yeah. So fun to have you. Thanks for being here. Joshua: Thanks, Kim.

The drink coolers are still being neglected, with none of them any more than 3/4 full, and about half of them empty or nearly so. I noticed the mix of canned and bottled drinks on the shelf are becoming more unusual. There's still some Monster, but it is all coffee-flavors, and a smattering of Rip-it and Rockstar, but it's mostly stuff I don't recall that I've never seen before. Other aisles look typical. The Health aisle still has a decent mix, and there are plenty of soaps and shampoos. Home Depot was next. a 2x4x8 remains at $3.25. They have some more 4-packs of Lithium AA cells now. If you're in need of some very light-duty tools (e.g. cordless screwdrivers, rotary brushes, a few different lights), they have more of the new Ryobi USB-charged tools in stock. Aldi was last. We did see a few holes, but found what we wanted except for Masa, a corn flour mix. We asked again, and they get it in, but Mexicans are buying it by the case.

I have watched a telegram group of people wanting to stay motivated go nuts this past few months. People get on and share successes, learn to forgive themselves for failures, and try to stay motivated. Stay motivated - that is the key. How do you stay motivated? I get this question all the time, particularly as relates to managing a homestead and starting side hustles. Caritalees Weekend Post And there is the lesson - Staying motivated in business, on the homestead, on your chosen dietary path, in exercise - is the same formula every single time. You have the good days You have the bad days You have the meh days You have the temptations to waver But has anyone ever said, after hauling their butt to the gym when they did not want to – has anyone ever said - Man I wish I hadn't taken that spin class, or lifted those weights? Before, and even during, you may be hating it. But when you are finished, are you ever mad you did it? This is the thing about finding your motivation - it is the wrong question to ask. I mean sure, knowing things that get you motivated is a helpful tool. But the question you really want to know is not, how do you stay motivated, it is how to you stay dedicated or disciplined. Decide Prioritize Do what it takes every day Forgive yourself if you stumble Ways I trick myself into doing things on bad/meh/temptation days. Avoid temptation - like an addict Trick myself into starting by saying “Ill just do x amount and then I can stop. Then I trick myself more by doing one more thing” Set a timer and commit to doing a set amount of time Play music or audio while getting at it Entice yourself with a reward at the end of whatever it is you must do: Bath, reading a novel for a time, playing with the dogs, calling a friend, spinning wool - find NON FOOD REWARDS Track progress in areas where you struggle with motivation - I document my exercise in my journal because it is important to my long term health. I worked out 30 minutes a day on average last week. Knowing that feels good. Build in accountability - if you are in an accountability group, it can be the push you need to do the thing so you can report you did the thing - this is why #my3things works The bad news about staying motivated? No one does. The difference in perception between people who you think do and who you think dont is that those who look motivated all the time do the work even when they dont want to. Do find your passion, do build the life you want, but now that sometimes, you just gotta go get started, even if youre having a bad day. Make it a great week! GUYS!

Judges 13:5 You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and his hair must never be cut. For he will be dedicated to God as a Nazirite from birth. He will begin to rescue Israel from the Philistines. Samson was an incredibly _________ man with an incredibly _______ will. The 3 Attitudes that Make Strong Men WEAK. 1. ____________. I ____________ it. Judges 14:1-3 One day when Samson was in Timnah, one of the Philistine women caught his eye. 2 When he returned home, he told his father and mother, “A young Philistine woman in Timnah caught my eye. I want to marry her. Get her for me.” 3 His father and mother objected. “Isn't there even one woman in our tribe or among all the Israelites you could marry?” they asked. “Why must you go to the pagan Philistines to find a wife?” But Samson told his father, “Get her for me! She looks good to me.” 2. ____________. I can ____________ it. Judges 14:14-17 So he said: “Out of the one who eats came something to eat; out of the strong came something sweet.” Three days later they were still trying to figure it out. 15 On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, “Entice your husband to explain the riddle for us, or we will burn down your father's house with you in it. Did you invite us to this party just to make us poor?”16 So Samson's wife came to him in tears and said, “You don't love me; you hate me! You have given my people a riddle, but you haven't told me the answer.” “I haven't even given the answer to my father or mother,” he replied. “Why should I tell you?” 17 So she cried whenever she was with him and kept it up for the rest of the celebration. At last, on the seventh day he told her the answer because she was tormenting him with her nagging. Then she explained the riddle to the young men. 18 So before sunset of the seventh day, the men of the town came to Samson with their answer: “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” Samson replied, “If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have solved my riddle!” 3. ____________. I've been ____________. Judges 15:16 (NIV) Then Samson said, "With a donkey's jawbone I have made donkeys of them. With a donkey's jawbone I have killed a thousand men." Judges 16:15-17 Then Delilah pouted, “How can you tell me, ‘I love you,' when you don't share your secrets with me? You've made fun of me three times now, and you still haven't told me what makes you so strong!” 16 She tormented him with her nagging day after day until he was sick to death of it. 17 Finally, Samson shared his secret with her. “My hair has never been cut,” he confessed, “for I was dedicated to God as a Nazirite from birth. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as anyone else.” Judges 16:20-21 Then she cried out, “Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!” When he woke up, he thought, “I will do as before and shake myself free.” But he didn't realize the Lord had left him. 21 So the Philistines captured him and gouged out his eyes. They took him to Gaza, where he was bound with bronze chains and forced to grind grain in the prison. Samson didn't ruin his life all at _________, he did it one _______ at a time. Judges 16:22 But before long, his hair began to grow back. Our ___________ loves to make strong men weak but our _______ loves to make weak men strong. Judges 16:28 Then Samson prayed to the Lord, “Sovereign Lord, remember me again. O God, please strengthen me just one more time. With one blow let me pay back the Philistines for the loss of my two eyes.”

Your resume is a marketing document, not a work history document. Yes, you use your work history to market yourself, but 99.9% of the people I've encountered do it the wrong way. In my work history, for example, I've helped companies earn likely billions of dollars. I've built project management methodologies. I've built enough tools for 10 lifetimes. Do you can about any of that when it comes to helping you find your dream job? I can create a resume that's 100,000 words and 99,400 of them wouldn't do anything but hide the 600 that matter—TO YOU! It's all my work history and I'm proud of it, but it's not important as it relates to you and what you need at this moment so I'm not gonna waste your time with that. Employers aren't companies. They're a bunch of people with personal and corporate needs. The biggest mistake job seekers make is not obsessing over what the employer's need and putting that information front and center for them. They need to see the right CONTENT with the right CONTEXT in the right SEQUENCE. This is difficult for so many reasons, but the killer is the main culprit is job seekers don't take the time upfront to consider the employers before they consider themselves. Lucky for you, you career mediator thinks of both of you (even if what I care about most is helping you get a great job with a great payday). Inside today's podcast on Resume Revolution: Resume Writing Tips and AI Tricks That Elevate Your Resume, I take a deep dive on how to: · Determine which information to put in your resume for max power. · Entice the employers to want to interview you. · Translate the information on your resume to interview stories. · Use AI (ChatGPT) to really punch up all this stuff. It's like the quadruple header of resume hits all wrapped up into one snazzy tutorial. That's why it's a lofty 43:21. Grab a coffee or a cocktail or whatever's your pleasure. It's a doozy!

With family: Judges 14; Acts 18 Judges 14 (Listen) Samson's Marriage 14 Samson went down to Timnah, and at Timnah he saw one of the daughters of the Philistines. 2 Then he came up and told his father and mother, “I saw one of the daughters of the Philistines at Timnah. Now get her for me as my wife.” 3 But his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes.” 4 His father and mother did not know that it was from the LORD, for he was seeking an opportunity against the Philistines. At that time the Philistines ruled over Israel. 5 Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Timnah, and they came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion came toward him roaring. 6 Then the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and although he had nothing in his hand, he tore the lion in pieces as one tears a young goat. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done. 7 Then he went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes. 8 After some days he returned to take her. And he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey. 9 He scraped it out into his hands and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother and gave some to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey from the carcass of the lion. 10 His father went down to the woman, and Samson prepared a feast there, for so the young men used to do. 11 As soon as the people saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him. 12 And Samson said to them, “Let me now put a riddle to you. If you can tell me what it is, within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothes, 13 but if you cannot tell me what it is, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothes.” And they said to him, “Put your riddle, that we may hear it.” 14 And he said to them, “Out of the eater came something to eat. Out of the strong came something sweet.” And in three days they could not solve the riddle. 15 On the fourth1 day they said to Samson's wife, “Entice your husband to tell us what the riddle is, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us here to impoverish us?” 16 And Samson's wife wept over him and said, “You only hate me; you do not love me. You have put a riddle to my people, and you have not told me what it is.” And he said to her, “Behold, I have not told my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?” 17 She wept before him the seven days that their feast lasted, and on the seventh day he told her, because she pressed him hard. Then she told the riddle to her people. 18 And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” And he said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle.” 19 And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck down thirty men of the town and took their spoil and gave the garments to those who had told the riddle. In hot anger he went back to his father's house. 20 And Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his best man. Footnotes [1] 14:15 Septuagint, Syriac; Hebrew seventh (ESV) Acts 18 (Listen) Paul in Corinth 18 After this Paul1 left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, 3 and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks. 5 When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. 6 And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” 7 And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. 8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. 9 And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” 11 And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews2 made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal, 13 saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law.” 14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. 15 But since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.” 16 And he drove them from the tribunal. 17 And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this. Paul Returns to Antioch 18 After this, Paul stayed many days longer and then took leave of the brothers3 and set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchreae he had cut his hair, for he was under a vow. 19 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined. 21 But on taking leave of them he said, “I will return to you if God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus. 22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch. 23 After spending some time there, he departed and went from one place to the next through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. Apollos Speaks Boldly in Ephesus 24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit,4 he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. 27 And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, 28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus. Footnotes [1] 18:1 Greek he [2] 18:12 Greek Ioudaioi probably refers here to Jewish religious leaders, and others under their influence, in that time; also verses 14 (twice), 28 [3] 18:18 Or brothers and sisters; also verse 27 [4] 18:25 Or in the Spirit (ESV) In private: Jeremiah 27; Mark 13 Jeremiah 27 (Listen) The Yoke of Nebuchadnezzar 27 In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah1 the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD. 2 Thus the LORD said to me: “Make yourself straps and yoke-bars, and put them on your neck. 3 Send word2 to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the sons of Ammon, the king of Tyre, and the king of Sidon by the hand of the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. 4 Give them this charge for their masters: ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: This is what you shall say to your masters: 5 “It is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever it seems right to me. 6 Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him. 7 All the nations shall serve him and his son and his grandson, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings shall make him their slave. 8 “‘“But if any nation or kingdom will not serve this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, declares the LORD, until I have consumed it by his hand. 9 So do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your fortune-tellers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.' 10 For it is a lie that they are prophesying to you, with the result that you will be removed far from your land, and I will drive you out, and you will perish. 11 But any nation that will bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave on its own land, to work it and dwell there, declares the LORD.”'” 12 To Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke in like manner: “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people and live. 13 Why will you and your people die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as the LORD has spoken concerning any nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 14 Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon,' for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you. 15 I have not sent them, declares the LORD, but they are prophesying falsely in my name, with the result that I will drive you out and you will perish, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.” 16 Then I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus says the LORD: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who are prophesying to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of the LORD's house will now shortly be brought back from Babylon,' for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you. 17 Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live. Why should this city become a desolation? 18 If they are prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, then let them intercede with the LORD of hosts, that the vessels that are left in the house of the LORD, in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem may not go to Babylon. 19 For thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, the sea, the stands, and the rest of the vessels that are left in this city, 20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take away, when he took into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem—21 thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the LORD, in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem: 22 They shall be carried to Babylon and remain there until the day when I visit them, declares the LORD. Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.” Footnotes [1] 27:1 Or Jehoiakim [2] 27:3 Hebrew Send them (ESV) Mark 13 (Listen) Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple 13 And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” Signs of the End of the Age 3 And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?” 5 And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!' and they will lead many astray. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. 10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. 11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. The Abomination of Desolation 14 “But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything out, 16 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 17 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 18 Pray that it may not happen in winter. 19 For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days. 21 And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!' or ‘Look, there he is!' do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand. The Coming of the Son of Man 24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, 25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. The Lesson of the Fig Tree 28 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 30 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. No One Knows That Day or Hour 32 “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard, keep awake.1 For you do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants2 in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35 Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows,3 or in the morning—36 lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” Footnotes [1] 13:33 Some manuscripts add and pray [2] 13:34 Or bondservants [3] 13:35 That is, the third watch of the night, between midnight and 3 a.m. (ESV)
In this electrifying episode of The Adams Archive, we plunge into the profound depths of 'Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars,' a document whose enigmatic existence challenges our perceptions of reality. This isn't just any document – it's a manifesto, a blueprint, that reveals a grand design of societal manipulation on an unprecedented scale. This piece of evidence has spent too long in the shadows, obscured by skepticism and disinformation. We're bringing it to light and giving it the critical analysis it deserves. It speaks of control via economics, technology, education - seemingly ordinary facets of society that, according to this document, are in fact weapons in a silent war waged on humanity. As we traverse the labyrinth of cryptic language and unnerve ourselves with the chilling implications, we question: what if this is real? What does it mean for our world as we know it? We explore theories, inspect connections to clandestine organizations, and investigate the practical implications of the strategies outlined in this document. Join us as we unmask the unthinkable truths hidden within 'Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. ----more---- All Links- Https://linktr.ee/theaustinjadams Substack: https://austinadams.substack.com Merch: https://antielite.club ----more---- Full Transcription: Adams Archive. Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we are going to be discussing what I would say is the single most terrifying document I've ever laid eyes on. And maybe not just that. I mean, and this, this says a lot because I've done a lot of deep dives into different, uh, documents that have come out that were top secret, that were c I A documents, whether it was about MK Ultra or Operation Northwoods. And in MK Ultra, they were literally taking people and electrocuting their brains to try to manipulate them or get rid of their memory. They were drugging people with L S D while they were. With prostitutes and watching the reactions there, there, there's so many things that they were doing that were horrifying. But the document I'm about to show you is the most terrifying, least discussed, top secret document that has ever gotten into the hands of a civilian. And the reason I say that is not on the individual basis, right? The, the documents like the MK Ultra documents are terrifying because it could have been you, it could have been me. But the document I'm about to show you was you. It was me. It was everybody on this planet was affected by this document. By this plan that was implemented to perfection. And as I start to walk through this with you, you'll realize more and more how this has been seeded deeply into the fabric of our reality. Regardless of what country you're in, regardless of where you went to school, how much money you think you have in the bank. Every single one of us has been affected by this document. And that is what it makes it so terrifying. Okay. The document that I'm about to show you and I'm about to walk you through in this deep dive is called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. Now, this document was produced. Found in 1986, July 7th by somebody from the IB who who purchased a copier. Okay? This document came from somebody who purchased a copier from the surplus sale by I B M. They reached inside of it and took this out in 1986. Now, this document was originally used at the very first known Bilderberg meeting in 1954. And adopted by the policy committee. Now, the reason that we have eyes on this today and the way that we do, the way that this document is broken down is based on the idea that the people that looked at this document were a part of a c i, a small group who were chosen for reasons that we'll find out in just a moment, but it was to catch them up to speed on the worldwide conspiracy that was happening and unfolding. Right in front of our eyes and has continued to and will continue to for a very long time. So let's go ahead and read through the preface. And again, this document is called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. I. Before we do that, go ahead and subscribe. Leave a five star review. Head over to the ck Austin Adams sub stack.com. I'm actually going to be reviewing a document that I went through and highlighted every single piece of it that I found to be the most interesting. This is a 40 po, 45 page document, so it's not a light read, but I went through and highlighted everything that I found to be of value in this document for you, and I will include this document in this. Weeks' sub that will be sent out. Okay? So you'll actually be able to look at the highlights that I found, value the annotations to them. The exact document that I'm reading from this will be in that sub stack, so Austin Adams sub stack.com. Go ahead and subscribe. Leave a five star review. And if I could ask you within this podcast episode, if you find this to be of interest, if you find the things that I'm talking about here to be held true in your life and it shocks you just as shocked as I was, please share this episode, share it with two people, and have those people share it with two people. Okay? I would appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Just share it, send it to two people, and you go, this is wild. That's all you have to say. This is wild. Go ahead and hit that share button and send it to two people that you wanna discuss this with 'cause they should hear about it too. And if everybody does that, this will reach the masses and we will start to get the word out. Because like I said, this is one of the most terrifying, least discussed, top secret documents that has ever gotten in the hands of a civilian. Alright. All right. On that note, let's. Jump into it. The Adams archive. Oh, all right. Let's jump into it. We're gonna start with the preface here, and this is again, is silent weapons for quiet wars, and we'll find out the meaning of that in just a moment. But I will tell you at certain points, this is somewhat technical in the way that it reads. So I will do my best to read the document to you. Reformat it for you in a simple way so you can understand the sentiment. 'cause I'm sure even just listening to it is even more tough than reading it. But I will take the analysis that I've done up until this point and give you it once I read through it. So if it sounds a little bit technical, stay with me. 'cause I will give you my simplistic version of what it actually means right after. Okay. So, Here is the preface of this document. Conspiracy theories are nothing new to history plots, to kill Caesar and overthrown Rome abounded, for instance. However, it is seldom that concrete clues to such plots come to light and are generally known. Silent weapons for quiet wars, an introduction programming manual. Was uncovered quite by accident on July 7th, 1986 when an employee of Boeing Aircraft co purchased a surplus I B M copier for scrap parts at a sale, and discovered inside details of a plan hatched in the embryonic days of the Cold War, which called for control of the masses through manipulation of industry, people's pastimes, education, and political leanings. It called for a quiet revolution, putting brother against Brother. Diverting the public's attention from what is really going on. The document you're about to read is real. It is reprinted in its virgin form with diagrams as a touch of reality. Now, where I found this document, you guys was a dark corner of a dark corner of a dark corner. Of the internet to say the least. Okay. Now there has been many, many conversations in other dark corners of the internet about this document, but it has not gone into the mainstream psyche. This has not been a topic of conversation to the extent that it should be because this document lays out all of it, and we talked about it in the last episode, how Yuval Harri a World Economic Forum advisor. Also the author of Sapiens, the book, the Worldwide Phenomenon nonfiction book. Historical uh, book Sapiens came out and said, how ridiculous is it that there's a globe? People think there's a small group of people who control everybody. Hmm. Well, we're about to find out just how ridiculous that is. It's very systematic. Okay. So where I found this document was very, uh, I would say, So, so where I found this document had a list of other documents that were around it, so I kind of had to sift through it. But there's the, the way that this is so meticulously because some people, you know, will try to give illegitimacy to this document, but it's, it's, it's been, uh, it's been said to be true by people who have seen so many top secret government documents. This outlines who it was approved or, or thought to be true by, and everything that we talk about here. Even if this document wasn't written up by the c i a, which again, if you read it, it very clearly, I believe that to be the case. Um, well, not, not even the ccia A, but the, the heads of these Bilderberg groups and then reformatted into the ccia A so that they could catch them up to speed on this conspiracy. It outlines everything perfectly. It's, it's all about social engineering of the masses. So it says, And it, it is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation of society, the engineering of social automation systems. I e silent weapons on a national or worldwide scale without implying extensive objectives of social control and destruct destruction of human life, i e slavery and genocide. This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing must be secured from public scrutiny. Otherwise it might be recognized as a technically formal declaration of domestic war. Furthermore, wherever any person or group or person's in a position of great power and without full knowledge and consent of the public uses such knowledge and methodologies for economic conquest, it must be understood that a state of domestic warfare exists between said person or group of persons in the public. The solution of today's problems require an approach which is ruthlessly Ruth ruthlessly candid with no agonizing over religious, moral, or cultural values. Now, here's the part where it talks about how they qualify for this project. You have qualified for this project because of your ability to look at human society with cold. Objectivity and yet analyze and discuss your observations and conclusions with others of similar intellectual capacity without the loss of discretion or humility. Now I'm actually gonna go ahead and share my screen with you guys. So you can see what I am looking at while I'm walking you through this. Uh, so here you go. Um, it is actually up there. So if you're not following on the video, if you're just listening on the podcast, you can have head over to YouTube, you can have head over to Rumble. If you should go to the sub stack, it'll be embedded on there for you as well. So you'll be able to actually look through the document when I'm looking at it and talking you through it. So it is up on the screen now. This goes on to say, uh, Uh, of similar intellect, intellectual capacity. Without the loss of discretion or humility, such virtues are exercised in your own best interest. Do not deviate from them. In other words, this document should scare the shit out of you, but you are a psychopath, so it doesn't. Continue being a psychopath, and that is why we have chosen you for this position. Uh, historical introduction. This says, silent weapon technology was evolved from operations research, a strategic and tactical methodology developed under the military management in England during World War ii. The original purpose of operations research was to study the strategic and tactical problems of heir and land defense with the objective of effective use of limited military resources against foreign enemies. It was soon recognized by those in positions of power that the same methods might be useful for totally controlling a society, but better tools were necessary. So when they found this out in the, let's say 19 43, 19 42, uh, they did not have the technology to. Implement the theories that were laid out during this findings of operations research. Right? So operations research was, how can we infiltrate and degrade a country without having to go in there with tanks? How? Where can we get these silent weapons? And we see this play across our society today, whether it's through social engineering of social media, which is obviously one of the most complex things of this. The algorithms, Google searches, all of those things are now a part of this social engineering censorship. All of those things, but back then they didn't even have the computer yet, so they couldn't, even if they had the data sets that they needed to analyze, which we'll find out what they were analyzing it for in just a minute, they wouldn't have had a way to calculate it in in enough time. So they needed further technology is what it was talking about. But better tools were necessary. It said social engineering. The analysis and automation of a society requires the correlation of great amounts of constantly changing economic information or data. So a high speed computerized data processing system was necessary, which could race ahead of the society and predict when society would arrive at Ululation Relay. Computers were slow, but the electronic computer invented in 1946 by J Presper Eckert, and John w Mackley filled the bill. The next breakthrough was the development of the Simplex method of linear programming in 1947 by the mathematician George b Danzig. Then in 1948, the transistor invented by Jay Bardeen, W H Britain and W Shockley promised great expansion of the computer field by reducing space and power requirements. Now with these three inventions under their direction, those in positions of power strongly suspected that it was possible for them to control the whole world with the push of a button, is what this document says. Now, immediately, once this was found out, so they started to formulate this economic theory of data and how they could predict both how people would act for economic gain and for power gains. They couldn't have the technology yet to allow them to analyze the data, even if they had it as soon as they had the technology. In 1948 with the transistor, the Rockefeller Foundation got in at the ground floor. They did this by making four year, a four year grant to Harvard College funding the Harvard Economic Research Project. For the study of the structure of the American economy, one year later in 1949, the United States Air Force actually joined in on this. In 1952, the grand period terminated and a high level meeting of the elite was held to determine the next phase of social operations research. The Harvard project had begun very fruitful or have been very fruitful, as is born out of the publication of some of its results in 1953, suggesting the feasibility of economic. Social engineering. So this is where it leaves that paper trail, right? We know that this happened. We know the grants were funded by the Rothchild family. We know the timeframe. We know that the, the reasoning that they were doing this engineered in the last half of the decade in the forties, the new quiet war machine stood, so to speak, in sparkling gold plated hardware on the showroom floor by 1954 with the creation of the Maser. In 1954, the promise of unlocking unlimited resources of fusion atomic energy from the heavy hydrogen in seawater and the consequent availability of unlimited social power was a possibility only decades later, the combination was irresistible. So what they're talking about here is that energy was the new gold. So by unlocking these scientific endeavors, we're gonna learn about what science truly is for in just a second when they lay it out for us. But by learning and unlocking these codes to the universe, they could also unlock massive amounts of power, massive amounts of capital. So, although the silent weapon system was nearly exposed 13 years later, the evolution of the new weapon system has never suffered any major setbacks. Political introduction in 1954. It was well recognized by those in positions of authority that it was only a matter of time, only a few decades before the general public would be able to grasp and upset the cradle of power for the very elements of the new silent weapon technology were as accessible for a public utopia. As they were for providing a private utopia, meaning that if the general public had gotten a hold of this technology and used it for good, and used it for the betterment of society, it would have allowed us to thrive as, as a species, it would've allowed us to have a public utopia where everybody gained from it. But instead, a small group, a small boardroom meeting with the Bilderberg group, i e what you know, We know today as something like the World Economic Forum, and they still have these Bilderberg group meetings allowed for a private utopia. For a small group of individuals, energy is recognized as the key to all activity on earth. Natural science is the study of sources and controls of natural energy and social science, theoretically expressed as economics is the study of the sources and control of social energy. So this is where they're kind of taking this formula, this idea of energy and, and reformatting it, repositioning this theory of energy into what they. A lot what they learn to manipulate, right? They learn to manipulate energy first. Then they reformat That, reformulate that into understanding how to manipulate people because people are just energy, they're saying. Right. Uh, energy is recognized as the key to all activity, activity on earth. Social science theoretically expresses economics, right? Saying that the way that people's energy, the movement of people, the thoughts of people exposes itself through economics by the, where they spend their money, where they spend their time, and how they react to things, right? So that is the study of the sources in control of social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems. Mathematics. Therefore, mathematics is the primary energy science, and the bookkeeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping. All science is a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control beyond. This remains only one issue. Who is the beneficiary, and that's why. The Rothchilds realized this and they quickly sprung into action as soon as they saw the technology t itself, so that they could be the ones who were the beneficiary of the knowledge, the knowledge leading to control. And that is why we are where we are today. In 1954, this was the issue of the primary concern. Although the so-called moral issue was raised in the view of the law of natural selection, it was agreed that it is that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence at all. Such people are beasts of burden and stakes on the table by choice and consent. Did you hear that? Do you hear the way that they talk about you and I? People who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of burden and stakes on the table by choice and consent. They said consequently is the inter interest of future world order peace and tranquility. It was decided. To privately wage, a quiet war against the American public with the ultimate objective of permanently shifting the natural and social energy, wealth of the undisciplined and irresponsible many into the hands of the self-disciplined, responsible, and worthy few, so they rigged the system. In order to implement this objective, it was necessary to create secure. To create, secure and apply new weapons, which as it turned out were a class of weapons so subtle and so sophisticated in their principle of operation and public appearance as to earn for themselves the name, silent weapons. In conclusion, the objective of economic research is conducted by the magnets of capital or banking in the industries of commodities or goods and services is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable and manipulatable. So what they start to lay out here for you is that in order, Well, let's just read this says, in order to achieve a totally predictable economy, the low class elements of society must be brought under total control, right? In order for them to be able to profit both economically and power based off of this predictable economy, they need to make it predictable and to make it predictable, you have to fall in line to the programming. You must be housebroken. It says trained. And assigned a yoke and long-term social duties from a very early age before they even have an opportunity to question the propriety of the matter. Right. You wanna talk about four and five-year-olds going to have a full-time job in kindergarten, going to school to wait for a bell to tell them when to go do the next thing. Being put in the position of submission to somebody in a position of dominance. Being told everything that they have to do when they have to do it, how to draw their, how to draw something, how to dot their i's how to, you know, all of it. So you have to. Entice conformity from the very beginning, and the Rockefellers also funded the general education board in the 1920s. The general education board, which we're gonna get into in one of our next deep dives, was taking the Prussian model, which leveraged education as a system of creating obedience instead of intelligence in the 1920s. To make it so that this system of education, education through enslavement of thought was implemented nationwide. Thus started the programming of the general public, which allowed you and I to behave predictably just like they wanted. So we can be housebroken trained in assigned a yoke and long-term social duties from an early age, making everything predictable, making the general mass public move as a flock in order to achieve conformity. It says, The lower class family unit must be disintegrated by a process of increasing preoccupation of the parents and the establishment of government operated daycare centers for the occupationally orphaned children. That's a terrifying way of putting it, that is dead accurate. In order to achieve such conformity, the lower class family unit must be disintegrated. By a process of increasing preoccupation of the parents and the establishment of government operated daycare centers for the occupationally orphaned children, the quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible. To the inferior class with such an initial handicap, even the bright lower class individuals have little, if any, hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintain some measure of social order, peace and tranquility for the ruling upper class. Are you terrified yet? Does this sound, does this ring true to you? This is exactly the playbook that has set up in the society for obedience, for social credit scores, for digital currency, for censorship. Exactly. And the, the United States of America was the proving grounds of this. Description or descriptive introduction of the silent weapon. It says, so now it explains how they're going to do it. Everything that is expected from an ordinary weapon is expected from a silent weapon by its creators, but only in its manner a functioning. It shoots situations instead of bullets propelled by data processing instead of chemical reactions. Originating from bits of data instead of greens of gunpowder from a computer instead of a gun operated by a computer programmer instead of a marksman under the orders of a banking magnet instead of a military general. It makes no obvious explosive noises, causes no obvious physical or mental injuries, and does not obviously interfere with anyone's daily social life. Yet it makes an unmistakable noise. Causes unmistakable, physical and mental damage, and unmistakably interferes with the daily social life i e unmistakable to a trained observer, one who knows what to look for. The public cannot comprehend this weapon and therefore cannot believe that they're being attacked and subdued by a weapon. The public might instinctively feel that something is wrong, but that is because of the technical nature of the silent weapon. They cannot express their feeling in the rational way or handle the problem with intelligence. Therefore, they do not know how to cry for help and do not know how to associate with others to defend themselves against it. When asylum weapon is applied, gradually the public adjusts and adapts to its presence and learns to tolerate its encroachment on their lives until the pressure. Becomes too great and they crack up. Therefore, the silent weapon is a type of biological warfare. It attacks the vitality options and mobility of the individuals of a society by knowing, understanding, manipulating, and attacking their sources of natural and social energy and their physical, mental, and emotional strengths and weaknesses. Wow. So the silent weapon is a biological warfare. It attacks the vitality options and mobility of the individuals of society by knowing, understanding, manipulating, and attacking their sources of natural and social energy and their physical, mental, and emotional strengths. And weaknesses, right? You wanna talk about big pharma, right? You wanna talk about the introduction of allopathic medicine by the rothchilds. Right. Basically eliminating osteopathic and homeopathic medicine again, right around the same time. Right in the, the early 19 hundreds. That's why the, the World War II was the precipice of change. The industrialization of our nation was really the enslavement of our nation. That's when you had the education system, uh, turn into what it is today with bells ringing, telling your children where to go and how to act. That's when you had allopathic medicine telling you that your body has nothing to do with its own state of health. That's when you had the introduction of industrialized food, which poisoned you instead of nourished you. That's when you had the introduction of the military industrial complex, which served to empower the banking elites with profitability at the detriment of your son's lives. All of this was pre-planned and written out in this document called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, Ensuring predictability through our actions by enslaving our minds first, by poisoning us through our food, poisoning us through our entertainment, poisoning us through the indoctrination of the education system. All of this, all of this wove the fabric for what we know as modern society today, and we're reading the playbook. Here's an interesting quote by one of the Rothchilds themselves, Meyer Anhe Rothchilds, 1943 to 1812 and said, give me control over a nation's currency and I care not who makes its laws. Meyer Am shell Rothchilds. When you control the money, you already control the politicians. And when you control the politicians, you control the law and you in turn control the people. Today's silent weapons technology is an outgrowth of a simple idea discovered, succinctly expressed, and effectively applied by the quoted Mr. Meyer Amschel Rothschilds. Mr. Rothschild discovered the missing passive component of economic theory known as economic inductance. He of course did not think of this discovery in these 20th century terms. And to be sure, mathematical analysis had to wait for the second industrial revolution, the rise of the theory of mechanics and electronics, and finally the invention of the electronic computer before. Before it could be effectively applied in the control of the world economy. So this part is where it gets a little technical. Okay. Everything up in here was like theory of societal engineering. Right now we're getting into the idea of how energy and, and the, the energy of the world actually works side by side with the energy of people and by learning to manipulate one gives you the theory of how to manipulate the other. Okay, so this starts to break it down. It breaks it down technically for you. And again, I will give you my reframe of this, uh, so as to allow you to actually understand what I'm talking about without scouring this document back and forth and back and forth. Uh, so this is what a, how is lays it out. It says General Energy concepts and the study of energy systems. There always appears to be three elementary concepts. These are potential energy, kinetic energy, and energy dissipation. In corresponding to these concepts, there are three idealized, essentially pure physical counterparts called passive components. In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of potential energy is associated with a physical property called elasticity or stiffness, and can be represented by a stretching spring. An electronic science potential energy is stored in a capacitor instead of a spring. This property is called accidents. Instead of elasticity or stiffness, right? Think of a rubber band, Now it goes on to say that in the science of physical mechanics, which is the second part of this, the phenomenon of kinetic energy is associated with a physical property called inertia or mass, and can be represented by a mass or a flywheel in motion and electronic science, kinetic energy is stored in an inductor in the magnetic field instead of a mass. This property called inductance instead of inertia. Alright, so bear with me here because then in just a second, it takes all three of these concepts and formulates it for societal engineering. It says In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of energy dissipation is associated with a physical property called friction or resistance, and can be represented at by a dash pot or a device which can converts energy into heat. An electronic science dissipation of energy is performed by an element called either a resistor or a conductor. The term resistor being the one generally used to describe a more ideal device. Like a wire employed to convey electronic energy efficiently from one location to another. The property of a resistance or a conductor is measured as either resistance or conduct conductance. Reciprocals. Alright, now it says in economics, this is where it takes that idea of energy dissipation of conductance and cap capacitance. Right, the capacity and reformulates it into currency, right? Into how people react to things. Okay, so it talks about capital is capacitance, right? That's money, stock inventory, investments in buildings and durables, right? So the, the capacity, the capacitance is capital, the conductance. The flow of the energy is goods. That's where the exchange happens. And then the inductance, the influence of the population of industry on output is services. So the capacitance is capital, that's the money, the conductance, what where it flows from is goods, right? And then, The dissipation or the inductance is services. All of the math mathematical theory developed in the study of one energy system, right? Mechanics or electronics, can immediately be applied in the study of any other energy systems, including economics. So what Mr. Rothschilds had discovered was that the basic principle of power, influence, and control over people as applied to economics. That, that principle is when you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you. So lemme reread that for you. What Mr. Mr. Rothschilds had discovered was the basic principle of power, influence, and control over people as applied to economics. That principle is when you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you. Now when we start to get into this, this is where fractional banking came from, was this idea. Right. The, and, and now what we know is, you know, zero Reserve banking, but is supposed to be what fractional reserve banking was, I think, until 2021 or 22 when they changed it to zero reserve banking, which is far worse. Right? So this is where the, the creation of the Federal Reserve comes from, is this idea. So, Mr. Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency or deposit loan accounts had the required appearance of power that. It could be used to induce people, right? The inductance with people corresponding to a magnetic field, it says into surrendering their real wealth in exchange for a promise of greater wealth, right? An instance of compensate. Of real instead of real compensation, right? So instead of giving you gold for your services, I'm gonna give you an i O U, this piece of paper that we printed out of a machine that says, you know, we got you. All you have to do is agree with somebody else that we got you and we got them, and you guys exchanged that. Gotcha. And you know, now you're, now you're, you know, exchanging currency. So they would put real collateral in exchange for a loan of promissory notes. I. Mr. Rothschild found that he could issue more notes than he had backing for fractional banking. So long as he had someone's stock of, had someone's stock of gold as a persuader to show his customers. So picture him with a big bank behind him. Or a, a big, uh, you know, um, box of gold, a a big, you know, vault of gold. And in that vault of gold, he had a million, a million dollars worth of, you know, dollars. He had a a million dollars worth of gold. And in exchange of that million dollars, he handed out $10 million to other people saying, you know, I got this million right behind me. You don't have to worry about it. If you come back to me for your 500,000, I'll give you the 500,000. Of course, I got it. Look behind me. Right, but little did they know that he doesn't have 10 million, which is what he loaned out. So he now owes more than he has in possession. So if any one time everybody comes to get it at the same time, none of it really exists. Right. Fractional banking, I. Mr. Rothschilds loaned his promissory notes to individuals and to governments. These would create overconfidence. Then he would make money scarce, tighten control on the system, and collect the collateral through the obligation of contracts. So let's say that you own, uh, a $500,000 house that I loaned you the money for, that you're paying me monthly on. Now the economy that I squeeze goes to shit, and you can't afford the mortgage. Now, I made you pay me $200,000 of the 500,000, but you couldn't pay the whole thing because I screwed the economy over, and now I own all of those assets again. Rinse and repeat the cycle. Was then repeated. These pressures could be used to ignite a war. Then he would control the availability of currency to determine who would win the war. Right? This man with all the perceived power, with all the gold in the vault behind him, told both sides of the war that I got you. I got you. But then depending on who he gave the most loans to printed the most money for. Would win the war. Of course, war is just a war of attrition. Everything's a war of attrition, right? It's just who has the most money? Who has the most, uh, shiny metal machines that are gonna blow stuff up? The government, which agreed to give him control of its economy and economic system, got his support and in turn won the war. And maybe that's what we're seeing play out right now between NATO and Russia and China and all of these things going on, is we're seeing who's going to give. The banking cartels, the control of the economic system. And whoever does that is gonna get the most money. They're gonna get the most funding, right? They're gonna get the most bombs, they're gonna get the most tanks, and in turn, they're gonna win. The war goes on to say the collection of debts was guaranteed by economic aid to the enemy of the debtor. Collection of debts was guaranteed by economic aid. To the enemy of the debtor. The profit derived from this economic methodology made by Mr. Rothschilds all the more able to expand his wealth. He found that the public greed would allow currency to be printed by government order beyond the limits of backing and precious metals, or the production of goods and services, and that's how we get to inflation, right? Public greed would allow currency to be printed by government. Order beyond the limits of backing and precious metal or the production of goods and services, right? We got off of the gold standard and immediately what happens? Inflation. Inflation, go back and ask your grandparents about it, right? How much did the car cost in this structure? Right? And so a parent ca, capital as paper inductor, right? The inductor in the structure credit presented by is a pure element called currency as the appearance of capital, but in the effect negative capital. Hence it was the appearance of service, but is in fact indebtedness or debt. It is therefore an economic inductance instead of a economic capacitance, and if balanced in no other way will be balanced by the negation of population, right? War and genocide. I. The total goods and services represent real capital called the Gross National Product, and currency may be printed up to this level and still represent economic capacitance, but currency printed beyond this level is subtractive and represents the introduction of economic inductance in constitutes notes of indebted. Alright, let's go ahead and let's do this 'cause this will be interesting if we can take this. Actually get it to, let's see here how I can do this. I wanna see if I can carry this over and have a chat. G p t write a simplistic, let's say like a, a first grade level and explain that for us. So let me go ahead and take a picture of this, copy over the text and ask it to explain it that way, because I think that's a value. This is a little bit more, uh, complex than. Then how we, uh, you know, having me over here try to explain it to you. So let me go ahead and, and put it in here. So I took it, let's go take it to chat, g b t. Please explain this at a fifth grade level. All right, so it's saying, imagine we have a system where people use something called currency as a form of credit. This currency looks like money or resources, but it's actually like negative capital because it creates debt. So it seems like a helpful service, but it actually puts people in debt, right? The currency, the money. Is all just credit, right? There's not, there's not actually backed by anything, which all it means is that, you know, you see the national debt ticker just keeps going up and up and up. So it seems like a helpful service, but it actually puts people in debt instead of being like a container that holds in stores value like a piggy bank. This currency acts more like a force that causes changes in the economy, like pushing or pulling things around. When this force gets out of balance and there's too much currency, it can lead to problems. To balance this system, something extreme like war or genocide might happen. This is because the excess currency needs to be brought back to balance. And unfortunately, throughout its history, war has been one way that this has been achieved. Uh, right. Remember, this is just an explanation of some ideas in the text. As you grow older, you'll learn more about economics and different viewpoints on these topics. Hmm. Let's see if it can try again. Alright, cool. So, where war is therefore balancing the system by killing the true creditors, the public, which we have taught to exchange true value for inflated currency, it says, and now my screen goes away. So I think that's an interesting analogy, right? Like it's not a piggy bank. The, the money that we have is not a piggy bank. It's a, it's a an i o U. And, and once there's enough IOUs out there that people hold onto, eventually you, the best way to get some of those IOUs back is by eliminating the people, apparently. Uh, so it says that Mr. Rothschild had discovered that the currency gave him the power to rearrange the economic structure to his own advantage, to shift economic inductance to those economic positions, which would encourage the greatest economic instability and oscillation. The final key to economic control had to wait until there was sufficient data and high speed computing equipment to keep close watch on the economic oscillations by creating price shocking and excess paper energy credits, paper inducted and inflation. I. Alright. Now the next part of this is talk, talking about how they test the system, right? How, how do they formulate results? Like how, how did they get the data right? And we're gonna see some of these things ring true when we think back to the time of the, uh, thinking back to. The covid situation where we had no toilet paper for a weird amount of time or maybe a few months ago when, when eggs cost $20 for fricking 12 of them, right? This is a, a form of shockwave testing, which is what we're gonna learn about right now, and it starts by learning the principle of shockwave testing again in energy and reformulating it for how we deal with people and society and societal engineering. So it says, the aviation field provided the greatest evolution in economic engineering, by the way, of its mathematical theory, which is shockwave testing. In this process, what they would do is they would take something on an airplane and they would test how much force could be applied to that, uh, that piece of technology. Right? So a projectile is fired from an airframe on the ground and the impulse. Of the recoil is monitored by vibrational transducers connected to the airframe and wired to chart recorders right? So I was trying to say, how much energy can we put on this airframe of this aircraft until it explodes? Shockwave testing, right? How, how durable is the material and how is it going to react when we impose some type of force on it? By studying the echoes and reflections of the recoil impulse in the airframe is possible to discover critical vibrations in the structure of the airframe, which either vibrations of the engine or. Olian vibrations of the wings or a combination of the two might reinforce resulting in the resonant self-destruction of the airframe in flight as an aircraft, right? So what they wanted to figure out was how much gunpowder can we put on the side of this airplane until it rips apart, right? How big are the booms that we can make until the whole thing falls apart from the standpoint of engineering, this means that the strengths and weaknesses of the structure of the airframe in terms of vibrational energy can be discovered and manipulated. Now again, here comes the application in economics to use this method of airframe shock testing. In economic engineerings, the price of commodities are shocked and the public consumer reaction is monitored Data. The resulting echoes of the economic shocker interpreted theoretically by computers and the socioeconomic structure of the economy is thus discovered. How do people react when we do this thing? We get large enough data sets. Right. Why do you think data's so important when it comes to your social media? Why do you think data's so important when it comes to all of your transactions on, on your finances? Right. Why is the digital currency important? Because the more data that they can get, the more they can realize how to manipulate you. And the more they can profit, the more power that they can have by knowing exactly how you'll react to X and y, because they want. To be more rich and more powerful. They can predict how you're gonna react. They can then invest in the commodities that they know are going to be having shortages early. Or when you, let's say get rid of toilet paper, for example. Maybe people run and buy bidets, or maybe when you have a nationwide panic, people run and buy ammunition, maybe something like that, right? So when you can predict those reactions with a large enough data set, you can then, React ahead of time and profit from those reactions because now you know, now you've shockwave tested the mass public and now you know how they're gonna react when you get rid of toilet paper. Now you know how they're gonna react when you threaten locking them down and shutting down all their businesses. Right? And if you can boil the water up into the point to where the frog's gonna jump out or revolt against you, like we saw with Covid eventually, So they, they dialed up the heat just until the point where they saw us buying ammunition just to the point where they saw people running and getting guns just until the point where people were rioting, not rioting to the extent where they were gonna overthrow the government, but when they were rioting to the point where they were, you know, breaking down in targets and stealing everything out of it. Right. They don't want a complete collapse. 'cause then they lose all of their control, but they do want to dial it up because then now they know the next time that they go to do this, exactly how the public will react. Shockwave testing. Okay, now it says that, um, if this process, uh, it is by this process that partial differential and in indifferent matrices are discovered that define the family household and make possible its evaluation as an economic industry. Which is dissipative consumer structure. Then the response of the household to future shocks can be predicted and manipulated. It says, in society becomes a reg, a well-regulated animal with its reigns under control of a sophisticated computer, regulated social energy bookkeeping system. Eventually, every individual element of the structure comes under computer control through a knowledge of personal preferences. Such knowledge guaranteed by computer Association of consumer preferences, right? U P C codes, zebra striped pricing codes on packages, right? They're talking about literal barcodes. Right. All that is tracking, all that is data set sets, right? Um, it says with identified cus to consumers right. Identify via association with the use of credit cards and later a permanent tattooed body number invisible under normal ambient illumination. Right? That's the, uh, that's the microchip in you that, that they're gonna talk about, right? That's the, that's the digital credit score, right? That's the digital, uh, digital currency. Right. So maybe it's a little bit different than what they expected in 1986, but very, very close. Right? Credit cards were literally designed just so they could get the data of your buying decisions, right? That's every c v s phone number that you put in. That's, uh, the, the barcodes on the back of it. All of it is data, not data for, I mean, yeah, target uses it for their data, but data for the, the company that owns Target. Why do you think BlackRock owns all of these companies? It wants the data, it wants to predict, it wants to throttle economies, it wants to prop one up while it goes to war with Ukraine. It wants to, uh, manipulate financial markets here so that you could have, uh, the downfall of a country over here. Right? So it says summary economics is. Only a social extension of a natural energy system. It also has its three passive components because of the distribution of wealth and the lack of communication and lack of data. This field has been the last energy field for which a knowledge of these three passive components has been developed. Since energy is the key to all activity on the face of the earth, it follows that in order to attain a monopoly of energy. Raw goods, materials and services. And to establish a world system of slave labor, it is necessary to have a first strike capability in the field of economics. In order to maintain our position, it is necessary that we have absolute first knowledge of the science of control over all economic factors in the first experience at engineering the world economy. In order to achieve such sovereignty, we must at least achieve this one end. That the public will not make either the logical or mathematical connection between economics and the other energy sciences, or to learn to apply such knowledge. Hmm. Right. Public first private utopia. They wanted to hone this technology and to keep it to themselves so they can meet at Berg, so they can meet in the Swiss Alps of the World Economic Forum meetings and talk about how they're gonna manipulate you. It is only a matter of time before the new breed of private programmer and economists will catch onto this far reaching implications of the work begun at Harvard in 1948. The speed of which they can communicate their warning to the public will largely depend upon how effective we have been at controlling the media, subverting education, and keeping the public distracted with matters of no real importance. All right, now here's the economic model. It says, the Harvard Economic Research Project in 1948 was an extension of the World War II operations research, right? We learned about that. It was felt that with sufficient mathematical foundation and data, it would be nearly as easy to predict and control the trend of an economy as to predict and control the trajectory of a projectile. Such has proven to be the case. Moreover, the economy has been transformed into a guided missile on target. To make sure history of it all. It was discovered that an economy obeyed the same laws of his electricity and that all of the mathematical theory and practical and computer know-how developed for the eco electronic field could be directly applied to the study of economics. I. The discovery was not openly declared, and its more subtle implications were in our kept closely guarded secrets. For example, that in an economic model, human life is measured in dollars and that the electric spark generated when opening a switch connected to an active inductor is mathematically analogous to the initiation of war, right? Turn on and off the amount. Of dollars, right? The human life, right? That's where you get into the depopulation agenda, right? If you can expand the, the, the expand the, the people that are on this earth and then immediately contract them down to a smaller amount, the amounts of goods still remains the same. It's already been produced, so now it goes into a smaller and smaller group of hands. So that's where the depopulation agenda comes into control. That's where war comes into control. It's, it's, it's a mechanism of, of inflating and deflating the amount of money owed that getting rid of debts that are owed to the government that the government owes to you. Right. The greatest hurdle it says, which theoretical economists faced was the accurate description of the household as an industry. This is a challenge because consumer purchases are a matter of choice, which in turns is influenced by income, price, and other economic factors. This hurdle was cleared in an indirect and stati a statistically approximate way by an application of shock testing to determine the current character characteristics called current technical coefficients of a household industry. Finally, because problems in theoretical electronics can be translated very easily into problems of theoretical electronics, and the solution translated back again. It follows that only a book of language translation and concept definition needed to be written for economics. The remainder could be gotten from standard works on mathematics and electronics. This makes the publication of books on advanced economics unnecessary and greatly simplifies project security. All right, so now it goes into a bunch of diagrams. Okay? Now again, this will be on the sub stack, so you can go read through those and look through them yourself. I don't find much value if you've comprehended a little bit more of what I've talked about here, but it basically talks about how the flow of economics and utilizing one industry for supply to demand, um, then results in what they want, right? So, so more control, more money, more power. Alright. It uses these, you know, kind of electronic models and, uh, to give you a, a better discussion surrounding what we talked about already. So it, it just lays it all out for you. But that's a pretty consistent, uh, or a pretty, uh, technical way of going about this. So let's go ahead and we'll scroll past that for now. All right. There is one part that I wanna point out though. It says the social welfare system. Okay, this is just a small piece of it. Uh, it says the problem with sub stabilizing the economic system is that there is too much demand on account of one, too much greed and two too much population, right? 'cause it goes into how other large are te alternatives to war, right? As economic inductors and economic flywheels are an open-ended social welfare program, or, An enormous but fruitful open-ended space program, right? Nasa, could you imagine that right? An enormous open-ended space program with no end in sight. Right there. There's nothing, there's no real end, there's no real goal. Uh, so you can have that as one balancing mechanism. You can have war, right? Too much demand on the count of too much greed. And too much population can be balanced with open-ended space programs, social, large, social, open-ended welfare programs and war. Okay? It says the problem with stabilizing economic systems is that there is too much demand on an account of too much greed and too much population. This creates excessive economic inductance, which can only be balanced with economic capacitance, right? So true resources or value in goods and services. The social welfare. The social welfare program is nothing more than an open-ended credit balance system, which creates a false capital industry to give non-productive people a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. This can be useful, however, because the recipients become state property in return for the gift. A standing army for the elite for who he pays. The Piper picks the tune for who he pays. The piper picks the tune. Hmm. So this is why we see the Democrats, the liberal, the left, right, which this knows no left and right, but this does this, this is important, right? This is why when you have these soc, social and ec, this is why they say, right, I'll, I'll, uh, find me a young man who's a Republican. I'll show you somebody without a heart. Uh, find me an old man who's a liberal, and I'll show you somebody without a brain. Right? It's like when you can enslave somebody by giving them a stipend. Right. That's literally how they did this. This can be useful putting a roof over their heads and food in their stomach for people who are completely unproductive because the recipients become state property in return for the gift. A standing army for the elite, for he who pays the piper picks the tune, right? If they give you the money, you fall in line. You do what they say. You are now docile. So I found that to be interesting. All right, so the next part of this, right now that we've gone through the more technical aspect of the energy portions and how that's, that social energy relates to, right, the, the findings of scientific energy. Uh, let's go ahead and pull up this next part. If my computer will play nice with me and it doesn't want to, alright. But I found that to be interesting, right? Even the shockwave testing, when you start to think of things in this way, when you start to think of data, right? Everybody's been talking about data, data, data. What does Facebook, well, Facebook makes their money from data, right? Why is data so important? Well, when you have enough data, you can predict actions. Right. Where are people gonna spend their money? How are people gonna react physically? All right, so I. It goes on to say that those who get hooked on the economic drug must go to the elite for the fix. And this, the method of introducing large amounts of stabilizing capacitance is by borrowing on the future credit of the world. I. Okay, so those who get hooked, hooked on the economic drug must go to the elite for the fix. They own the banks, they own the printing machine to give out the credit. Like what gives you the right you, there's no, there's nothing there. It's all a facade. It says in this, the method of introducing large amounts of stabilizing money, right by printing stuff. Is borrowing on the future credit of the world inflation, right? What we print today affects our children tomorrow, right? Things cost more. This is the fourth law of motion onset, and consists of performing an action and leaving the system before the reflected reaction returns to the point of action. A delayed reaction, right? They don't have to deal with it. Your children, our great-grandchildren, deal with it. The means of surviving. The reaction is by changing the system before the reaction can return. By. This means politicians become more popular in their own time and the public pays later. In fact, the measure of me measure of such a politician is the delay time, right? How long does it take for everything to crumble after Joe Biden leaves? After so much money is poured into the system after it's printed to send to Ukraine. The same thing is achieved by a government, by printing money beyond the limit of the gross national product and the economic process called inflation. This puts a large quantity of money into the hands of the public and maintains a balance against their greed, creates a false self-confidence in them, and for a while stays the wolf from the door. They must eventually resort to war to balance out the account because war ultimately is merely the act of destroying the creditor, right? The people killing off people, and the politicians are the publicly hired hitmen that justify the act to keep the responsibility and blood off the public conscience. So just by printing money eventually, it's literally taking life. If the people really cared about their fellow man, it says they would control their appetites, their greed, their procreation, so that they would not have to operate on a credit or welfare social system, which steals from the worker to satisfy the bum. Since most of the general public will not exercise restraint, there are only two alternatives to reduce the economic inductance of the system. One, let the populace bludgeon each other. To death and war, which will only result in the total destruction of the living earth. Number two, take control of the world by the use of economic silent weapons in the form of quiet warfare, and reduce the economic inductance of the world to a safe level by a process of benevolent slavery and genocide. Print, fight, print, fight, print, fight, the balancing act. Eventually somebody has to pay for that. Getting rid of the creditor, getting rid of the people that erode the money, eliminating the population. The latter option has been taken as the obviously better option. It says at this point it should be crystal clear to the reader why absolute secrecy about the silent weapons is necessary. The general public re refuses to improve its own mentality and its faith in the fellow man. It has become a herd of proliferating barbarians and so to speak, a blight upon the face of the earth. They do not care enough about economic science to learn why they have not been able to avoid war. Despite religious morality and their religious or self-gratifying refusal to deal with earthly problems renders the solution of the worldly problem unreachable to them. It is left to those few who are truly willing to think and survive as the fittest. To survive to solve the problem for themselves is the few who really care. Otherwise, exposure of the silent weapon would destroy our only hope of preserving the seed of the future True humanity. Hmm. So that's where you get the idea and this sociopathic idea that there should be a ruling class, that there should be slaves, that there should be peasants, that there should be bums because you don't know any better and you're too stupid and too lazy and not enough. You don't have enough self-awareness and you don't have enough intellect to, to actually grasp what's going on in these financial systems. And, and instead, we're just gonna send you off to war to die. So we can pay off the bets so that we, the debts that we owe, so that, You know, we can drive our Ferraris to Davos and meet once a year to talk about how we're going to further our enslavement of you through our children. All right? It goes on to show some more of those examples, uh, showing the diagrams of how these stages of s schematics simplification, right? Where is war play into this? So it it, it has mathematical equations, which are beyond my scope of understanding, uh, but. It talks about the final bill of goods, says the final bill of goods is called the final bill of goods or the bill of final demand, and is zero when the system can be closed by the evaluation of the technical coefficients of the non-productive industries, governments and households. Households may be regarded as a productive industry with labor as its output product. Interesting. So that's how they look at you, huh? Says the household industry, the household, the industries of finance, manufacturing, and government. Real counterparts of the pure industries of capital goods and services are easily defined because they're generally logically structured. Because of this, their processes can be described mathematically and their technical coefficients can be easily deduced. This however, is not the case with the service industry known as the household industry. Household models when their industry flow diagram is represented by a two block system of households on the right and all other industries. On the left, the following results, so there's another diagram. It says The arrows to the left. Yeah. You'll have to kind of read through this so you actually get an idea of what it's talking about. Let's see. This is applied to economics. This means that all of the households in one region or in the whole nation are studied as a group or class rather than individually. And the mass behavior, rather than the individual behavior, is used to discover useful estimates of the technical coefficients governing the economic structure of the hypothetical single household industry. Right? So taking a a general average allows them to say, you know, even if 30% of the country isn't gonna get vaccinated, we're betting on the 70%. Right. We know 70% compliance is enough to get us to where we need to go. The next time around that we do this, it says, one method of evaluating the technical coefficients of the household industry depends upon shocking the prices of a commodity and noting the changes in the sales of all, of all of the commodities, right? So when we get rid of toilet paper, how does that affect the general economy? Where do people start to put their money? Where do, where does that panic lead us? It's so easy to make us panic. Which is exactly all that was, was a shockwave test, getting rid of toilet paper to see how people would react. So the next time, how easily is it to predict your reactions and profit from it? Right? In the shock testing of an aircraft frame, the recoil impulse of a firing gun is mounted to the airframe causing shockwaves, right? We talked about this. It is as they tell the A aviation engineers, the conditions under which some parts of the airplane or the whole airplane or its wings will start to vibrate or flutter like a guitar string, a flute read, or a tuning fork and disintegrate or fall apart in flight. Economic engineers achieve the same result by studying the behavior of the economy and the consumer public by carefully selecting a staple commodity such as beef, coffee, gasoline, eggs, toilet paper, maybe, or sugar. And then causing a sudden change or shock in its price or availability, thus kicking everybody's budget and buying habits out of shape. They then observe the shockwaves, which result by monitoring the changes in the advertising prices, and sales of that and other commodities. The objective of such studies is to acquire the know-how to set the public economy into a predictable state of motion or change even a controlled self-destructive state. Of motion, which will convince the public that a certain expert of people should take care of the money system and reestablish security rather than liberty and justice for all. When the subject citizens are rendered unable to control their financial affairs, they of course become totally enslaved a source of cheap labor. Not only the prices of commodities, but also the availability of labor can be used as the means of shock testing. Labor strikes, deliver excellent test shock results to an economy, especially in the critical service areas as trucking or transportation. And you wanna talk about the transportation industry during c O D communication. Public utilities is energy, water, garbage collection, et cetera. We have seen this playbook play out, and it was written in the fifties. These, exactly the playbook that was used during covid By shock testing, it has found that there is a direct relationship between the availability of m
In this episode of Perpetual Traffic, hosts Ralph and Kasim are joined by Tom Meredith, the VP of Marketing at Tier 11, to explore the effectiveness of squeeze pages in customer acquisition. They delve into the nuances of using squeeze pages, highlighting their suitability for offers that require minimal commitment while cautioning against their use for offers that demand deeper thought and evaluation. Kasim emphasizes the significance of establishing a rapport with customers by providing them with comprehensive information about the organization, including its mission, values, testimonials, case studies, and customer stories. Squeeze pages typically collect basic contact information, such as name and email, in exchange for a lead magnet or content piece. Ralph believes that squeeze pages offer a valuable opportunity to gather first-party data from interested customers who may not be ready to make a full commitment yet.
