Dr. E Michael Jones, editor of Culture Wars magazine, returns to Gnostic Media podcast to discuss "Logos". Who, or what is Logos? Where did it come from? Why should we care about it? How do we understand it?

We retrace many of the events and personnel that played a key role in the culture shift, including the Macy Conferences, cybernetics, Aldous Huxley, Gordon Wasson, The Esalen Institute, SRI, Berkeley, Owlsley Stanley, Stewart Brand, Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg, San Francisco’s Human Be-In and the Monterey Pop Festival. The influential roles of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones are discussed, along with that of the ‘acid guru’ Dr. Timothy Leary, who later confessed to having been an asset of the CIA. We consider the templates that are so often employed by the social-engineers, including the Hegelian Dialectic and the creation of false heroes and role models, in the hope that the public can fully understand the ways in which we’re continually being played, as the first step towards not getting fooled again.The interview is interspersed with original music and speech audio to help bring the story alive.

I got to guest on Jan Irvin's Unspun podcast, to get into the nefarious aspects of both the corporate hip-hop and electronic dance music genres, with the evidence of social-engineering and mind-control never far from the surface. Specifically, I talked about the ongoing Afrika Bambaataa sex abuse allegations, the recent death of Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy, and the apparent sexual deviancy of R Kelly.

Jan Irvin of Gnostic Media is our guest as we consider the overall concepts of Culture Creation and Lifetime Actors, and the ever-present fingerprints of the intelligence communities in popular culture and social movements. Jan offers insights into how the CIA and affiliate organisations have infiltrated (or founded) all these scenes, with the result that almost every cultural hero of the past several decades can be shown to have been 'dirty.' This of course applies to the music scene - particularly the 60s 'counter-culture' era - but plays out much more widely. Mass mind-control and social engineering is everywhere, and most remain completely oblivious to how they've been played.Jan's podcast series' with Dr. Hans Utter and Joseph Atwill - plus all his other work - can be found at www.gnosticmedia.comJan's podcast series' with Dr. Hans Utter and Joseph Atwill - plus all his other work - can be found at www.gnosticmedia.com

Tony Myers, Darrell Becker and I conclude our response to the Gnostic Media presentation called “Nonviolent Communication, Pt. 2 “From the Fabians, thru MKULTRA, to Today.” - #230 w/Bill Joslin. This was discussed at length in the School Sucks Facebook Group (link). Today we cover their presentation from the 22-minute mark to the end. This portion of the discussion covers the following: -Rosenberg and the roots of Non-Violent Communication -Riane Eisler and Second-Wave Femism -the concept of "domination cultures" -gender implications of domination systems -Secular Humanism and the Humanist Manifesto -Interdependence vs. Independence -Other types of activism "Deep Green Resistence" -Culling the male population, Terence McKenna -Cultural Marxism -the emergence of of "partnership cultures" -Problems with the primacy of conscious -the Objectivist view of reality -NVC ties to Fabianism and Agenda 21? The slide discussed starting at 1:48:23- The slide discussed starting at 2:15:46- Description from Gnostic Media: Bill Joslin at an early age developed a fascination with mind and awareness. Subsequently he spent 16 years studying Bonpo, Nyingma Buddhist and Taoist practices. He spent a year in Asia interviewing Buddhist monks in Laos, Cambodia, Nepal; Taoist practitioners in Indonesia, and Bonpo priests in Northwest Nepal, comparing practices as taught in the west with the original monasteries and traditions from which the teachings originated. Nine years ago, Bill was asked by a number of people to counsel them with mediation practices they were having difficulty with and not finding aid from their current teachers. From a sense of responsibility Bill then went through a process of questioning every aspect of meditative knowledge he had gained over those years, essentially applying critical thinking to spiritual practices. In short order the illusion of meditation, spiritual teachers, and philosophical frameworks dissolved and a concise, non-mystical view of mind, self and world emerged with simple clarity. Meditation and spiritual guru-ship is an ancient form of control, the residue of which we live with today. Professional Protesters make their way into legitimate causes by providing organization and training to sincere people. Once installed into the cause they then high jack the activities - marginalize or radicalise the participants. NVC is a core subject in activist training.

Tony Myers, Darrell Becker and I analyze and respond to the Gnostic Media presentation called “Nonviolent Communication, Pt. 2 “From the Fabians, thru MKULTRA, to Today.” - #230 w/Bill Joslin. This was discussed at length in the School Sucks Facebook Group (link). Today we cover their presentation from the beginning to roughly the 22-minute mark, where in a effort to trace the history and development of NVC, they discuss linguistics, the potentially dangerous therapeutic techniques of Milton Erickson (indirect technique and confusion technique), and neuro-linguistic programming. Then they analyze a paragraph Darrell wrote in a Facebook thread. Description from Gnostic Media: Bill Joslin at an early age developed a fascination with mind and awareness.

The Great Chain of Being is defined in classical terms. 5m The concept of “balanced” government and civil society itself, The Ominous Continuity of the “education” system we know as schooling 6m The changing of terms as a means of gaining power over unwitting minds 7m The Occulting of Knowledge to create Power 8m Legacy of 2,500 years of the Noble Lie being used to create Power 9m Romantic Nationalism & Germany vs. Limited Government System, continued definition of the Great Chain of Being (3 estates) 10m Caste System, Divine Right of Kings, and the Classical Trivium; specifically the artificial scarcity of the “7” liberal arts 11m Enkyklios Paideia and the Caste System, Arnold Toynbee “it allows each empire to be immortal” 12m Great Chain of Being and the Classical Trivium in context of Organic Unity 13m United Nations Charter provisions, Positive and Negative Rights, staying knowledgeable about the first principles and jury nullification, Thomas Jefferson and First Principles Article 29: 1. Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible. 2. In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society. Article 30: Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein. 14m Logical foundation of Negative Rights, Irrational foundation of Positive Rights 15m Definition of Organic Unity 16m Scott Buchannan quote on the Classical Trivium to create Organic Unity, Cardinal and Ordinal structures of the story (Buchannan was a Rhodes Scholar) 17m Definitions: The Auctors, The Polis, The Polity, Episcopal, hierarchical structures of authorities, Anglicanism (Church of England) 18m Comparison and Contrast the Trivium Method vs. the Classical Trivium, 7 Liberal Arts, Plato, Aristotle, educational philosophy and Isocrates, 19m The “general education” of the inscribed circle of the Enkyklios Paideia, foreshadowing Fichte and Hegel of the Prussian Education System encyclopedia (n.) 1530s, "course of instruction," from Modern Latin encyclopaedia (c.1500), literally "training in a circle," i.e. the "circle" of arts and sciences, the essentials of a liberal education; from enkyklios "circular," and paideia “education”.

Experiential journalist Rak Razam talks with independent researcher, author and lecturer Jan Irvin from Gnostic Media about his forthcoming documentary on Gordon Wasson, influential New York banker and the godfather of the modern psychedelic movement. According to the historical record Wasson, an amateur mycologist, first 'discovered' 'magic' mushrooms via Maria Sabina in Oaxaca, Mexico in 1955, the account of which was published in the seminal LIFE magazine on May 13, 1957. Irvin, however has uncovered documentary evidence which points to the possibility of a secret history of the mushroom in the elite power structures of the West, and to the life and times of Gordon Wasson himself. What would it mean to history if the mushroom's true story, at the foundations of world religions, came to light? Does Wasson's entrenched position within the power elites of the banking and establishment world reflect an ongoing fixation with the mushroom and other mind altering sacraments within their own ranks, and in their approach to controlling the illumination of the masses? The sacred and the profane is all revealed in this in-depth, lively discussion that shakes the foundations of psychedelic history.

Jan Irvin, host of the popular Gnostic Media podcast stops by to talk about the Trivium education. This podcast covers a general overview of what the Trivium is and how a knowledge of the Trivium can help you discern what is 'true' from what is fallacious.  The Trivium is an ancient method of critical thinking that has three components; grammar, logic, and rhetoric. These three components make up the only three of the seven Liberal Arts. The other four concepts are covered in the Quadrivium (but we did not cover that in this episode). Jan explains how the sophisticated class (the elites, the sophists, the powerful) has employed the Trivium to use mind control over the lower classes of society. Due to the fact that the educated class has access to better critical thinking skills they employ techniques to manipulate the minds of the less educated. Think of advertisements, campaign slogans, and government propaganda. With a knowledge of the Trivium (which can be self-taught and is easily accesible) anyone can quickly learn techniques to identify logical fallacies and propaganda.

Courtesy of the Teaching Company Lectures on Freedom11.  Swaraj (on Wikipedia) Swaraj can mean generally self-governance or "self-rule", and was used synonymously with "home-rule" by Gandhi[1] (Hindi: swa- "self", raj "rule") but the word usually refers to Gandhi's concept for Indian independence from foreign domination.[2] Swaraj lays stress on governance not by a hierarchical government, but self governance through individuals and community building. The focus is on political decentralization.[3] Since this is against the political and social systems followed by Britain, Gandhi's concept of Swaraj laid stress on India discarding British political, economic, bureaucratic, legal, military, and educational institutions.[4] 12.  Self-Governance (on Wikipedia) Self-governance is an abstract concept that refers to several scales of organization. It may refer to personal conduct or family units but more commonly refers to larger scale activities, i.e., professions, industry bodies, religions and political units (usually referred to as Local Government), up to and including autonomous regions and aboriginal peoples (or others within nation-states who enjoy some sovereign rights). It falls within the larger context of governance and principles such as consent of the governed, and may involve non-profit organizations and corporate governance. It can be used to describe a people or group being able to exercise all of the necessary functions of power without intervention from any authority which they cannot themselves alter. Self rule is associated then in contexts where there is the end of colonial rule, absolute government or monarchy, as well as demands for autonomy by religious, ethnic or geographic regions which perceive themselves as being unrepresented or underrepresented in a national government. It is therefore a fundamental tenet of republican government and democracy as well as nationalism. Gandhi's term "swaraj" (see also "satygraha") is a branch of this self rule ideology. Another major proponent of self-rule when a government's actions are immoral is Thoreau. Generally when self-governance of nation-states is discussed, it is called national sovereignty - a concept important in international law. 13.  Who is Frederick Douglass?

Courtesy of the Teaching Company Lectures on Freedom 11.  Swaraj (on Wikipedia) Swaraj can mean generally self-governance or "self-rule", and was used synonymously with "home-rule" by Gandhi[1] (Hindi: swa- "self", raj "rule") but the word usually refers to Gandhi's concept for Indian independence from foreign domination.[2] Swaraj lays stress on governance not by a hierarchical government, but self governance through individuals and community building. The focus is on political decentralization.[3] Since this is against the political and social systems followed by Britain, Gandhi's concept of Swaraj laid stress on India discarding British political, economic, bureaucratic, legal, military, and educational institutions.[4] 12.  Self-Governance (on Wikipedia) Self-governance is an abstract concept that refers to several scales of organization. It may refer to personal conduct or family units but more commonly refers to larger scale activities, i.e., professions, industry bodies, religions and political units (usually referred to as Local Government), up to and including autonomous regions and aboriginal peoples (or others within nation-states who enjoy some sovereign rights). It falls within the larger context of governance and principles such as consent of the governed, and may involve non-profit organizations and corporate governance. It can be used to describe a people or group being able to exercise all of the necessary functions of power without intervention from any authority which they cannot themselves alter. Self rule is associated then in contexts where there is the end of colonial rule, absolute government or monarchy, as well as demands for autonomy by religious, ethnic or geographic regions which perceive themselves as being unrepresented or underrepresented in a national government. It is therefore a fundamental tenet of republican government and democracy as well as nationalism. Gandhi's term "swaraj" (see also "satygraha") is a branch of this self rule ideology. Another major proponent of self-rule when a government's actions are immoral is Thoreau. Generally when self-governance of nation-states is discussed, it is called national sovereignty - a concept important in international law. 13.  Who is Frederick Douglass?

It was created after the Morgan Affair of 1826 when the Freemason sect was nationally under attack and virtually came to an end.

This myth, like all fables, does in fact have a modicum of truth. There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the Radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other group, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.” (“Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time” by Prof. Carroll Quigley, Page 949-950) John von Neumann (Wikipedia) Martin Luther (Wikipedia) The Early American Reception of German Idealism by James Good (Amazon) Wilhelm Wundt (Wikipedia) Thorsten Veblen (Wikipedia) Conspicuous Consumption (on Wikipedia) Vilfredo Pareto (Wikipedia) Gaetano Mosca (Wikipedia) Sociology of the Elites by Michael Hartmann (Google Books) Elite Theory (on Wikipdia) Peace Revolution episode #22 “The Best Enemies Money Can Buy / The Arch which connects 2 Pillars” Peace Revolution episode #37 “Justified Sinners / The History of Eugenics in America”    “The American aborigines, Negroes and Europeans are as different from each other in mind as any three races that can be named; yet I was incessantly struck, whilst living with the Fuegians on board the ‘Beagle', with the many little traits of character, shewing how similar their minds were to ours; and so it was with a full-blooded negro with whom I happened once to be intimate” (on SCRIBD) Panopticon (on Wikipedia) Bill Clinton speaks of Carroll Quigley at 1992 DNC (on YouTube) Edmund Walsh (on Wikipedia)  Georgetown University School of Foreign Service (on Wikipedia) Hour 3, minutes 45 –end: “The Descent of Man” by Charles Darwin (1871): Francis Galton (on Wikipedia) Adam Smith (on Wikipedia) CATO Institute (on Wikipedia) Marshall Fritz (on Wikipedia) Benjamin Franklin (on Wikipedia)  “The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin”(1793) Thomas Edison (on Wikipedia) “Young Thomas Edison” (biographical film 1940): Niccolò Machiavelli (on Wikipedia)  (Book) “The Prince” by Machiavelli (on Wikipedia) Thomas Hobbes /Leviathan (on Wikipedia) Crisis of Democracy: Report of the Governability of Democracies to the Trilateral Commission (Michael J.

Jan Irvin from Gnostic Media is interviewed by Laurette Lynn aka the Unplugged Mum about the Trivium. The first three of the seven liberal arts, the Trivium, focus on the use of language and thought- the world of the mind. General Grammar, Aristotelian Logic, and Classical Rhetoric comprise the first three rules-based subjects of the 7 Liberal Arts and Sciences. As these disciplines are learned and practiced together, they form the overarching, symbiotic system for establishing clarity and consistency of personal thought called the Trivium. 1) General Grammar Answers the question of the Who, What, Where, and the When of a subject. Discovering and ordering facts of reality comprises basic, systematic Knowledge 2] Formal Logic Answers the Why of a subject. Developing the faculty of reason in establishing valid [i.e., non-contradictory relationships among facts, systematic Understanding 3] Classical Rhetoric Provides the How of a subject.Applying knowledge and understanding expressively comprises Wisdom or, in other words, it is systematically useable knowledge and understanding www.triviumeducation.com

This myth, like all fables, does in fact have a modicum of truth. There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the Radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other group, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.” (“Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time” by Prof. Carroll Quigley, Page 949-950) John von Neumann (Wikipedia) Martin Luther (Wikipedia) The Early American Reception of German Idealism by James Good (Amazon) Wilhelm Wundt (Wikipedia) Thorsten Veblen (Wikipedia) Conspicuous Consumption (on Wikipedia) Vilfredo Pareto (Wikipedia) Gaetano Mosca (Wikipedia) Sociology of the Elites by Michael Hartmann (Google Books) Elite Theory (on Wikipdia) Peace Revolution episode #22 “The Best Enemies Money Can Buy / The Arch which connects 2 Pillars” Peace Revolution episode #37 “Justified Sinners / The History of Eugenics in America”    “The American aborigines, Negroes and Europeans are as different from each other in mind as any three races that can be named; yet I was incessantly struck, whilst living with the Fuegians on board the ‘Beagle', with the many little traits of character, shewing how similar their minds were to ours; and so it was with a full-blooded negro with whom I happened once to be intimate” (on SCRIBD) Panopticon (on Wikipedia) Bill Clinton speaks of Carroll Quigley at 1992 DNC (on YouTube) Edmund Walsh (on Wikipedia)  Georgetown University School of Foreign Service (on Wikipedia) Hour 3, minutes 45 –end: “The Descent of Man” by Charles Darwin (1871): Francis Galton (on Wikipedia) Adam Smith (on Wikipedia) CATO Institute (on Wikipedia) Marshall Fritz (on Wikipedia) Benjamin Franklin (on Wikipedia)  “The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin”(1793) Thomas Edison (on Wikipedia) “Young Thomas Edison” (biographical film 1940): Niccolò Machiavelli (on Wikipedia)  (Book) “The Prince” by Machiavelli (on Wikipedia) Thomas Hobbes /Leviathan (on Wikipedia) Crisis of Democracy: Report of the Governability of Democracies to the Trilateral Commission (Michael J.
