An exploration of Indigenous cosmology and history in North America• Examines the complexities of Indigenous legends and creation myths and reveals common oral traditions across much of North America• Explores the history of Cahokia, the Mississippian Mound Builder Empire of 1050-1300 CE, told through the voice of Honga, a Native leader of the time• Presents an Indigenous revisionist history regarding Thomas Jefferson, expansionist doctrine, and Manifest DestinyWhile Western accounts of North American history traditionally start with European colonization, Indigenous histories of North America—or Turtle Island—stretch back millennia. Drawing on comparative analysis, firsthand Indigenous accounts, extensive historical writings, and his own experience, Omaha Tribal member, Cherokee citizen, and teacher Taylor Keen presents a comprehensive re-imagining of the ancient and more recent history of this continent's oldest cultures. Keen reveals shared oral traditions across much of North America, including among the Algonquin, Athabascan, Sioux, Omaha, Ponca, Osage, Quapaw, and Kaw tribes. He explores the history of Cahokia, the Mississippian Mound Builder Empire of 1050–1300 CE. And he examines ancient earthen works and ceremonial sites of Turtle Island, revealing the Indigenous cosmology, sacred mathematics, and archaeoastronomy encoded in these places that artfully blend the movements of the sun, moon, and stars into the physical landscape.Challenging the mainstream historical consensus, Keen presents an Indigenous revisionist history regarding Thomas Jefferson, expansionist doctrine, and Manifest Destiny. He reveals how, despite being displaced as the United States colonized westward, the Native peoples maintained their vision of an intrinsically shared humanity and the environmental responsibility found at the core of Indigenous mythology.Building off a deep personal connection to the history and mythology of the First Peoples of the Americas, Taylor Keen gives renewed voice to the cultures of Turtle Island, revealing an alternative vision of the significance of our past and future presence here.Taylor Keen is a senior lecturer in the Heider College of Business Administration at Creighton University.

Have you ever stood at the precipice of a life transition, completely unsure of how to proceed? We've all been there. In this fascinating episode, we open up a new conversation around our life's journey, examining how we let go of ego embrace new inspiration, and take on challenges as we age. Go here to listen → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/214 Drawing stories from our own lives and rich insights from leading books, we uncover the differences between a three-stage life pattern and a longer life pattern, sharing tips on how to find renewal in each transition. As our journey continues, we delve into several insightful books that can offer guidance during midlife transitions. 'The Big Leap' by Gay Hendricks, 'Wisdom at Work' by Chip Connolly, and 'The Good Life' by Robert Waldinger and Mark Schultz, to name a few. These literary gems help us identify our upper limit, discover our zone of genius, and understand the importance of community and co-generation in finding joy and fulfillment. We also discuss the groundbreaking Harvard Project, which revealed that a fulfilling life is not always about wealth. So come along, let's navigate these transitions together, equipped with wisdom from various authors and practical tools for successful transitions. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: The different tools and techniques we can use to navigate life's transitions How to let go of our ego in the second half of life Discovering new inspiration and taking on new challenges in the third half of life The differences between a three-stage life pattern and a longer life pattern, and finding renewal in each transition Having a positive mindset about aging Leveraging the ritual of storytelling and generational perspectives to help us reinvent ourselves William Bridges' Transitions book and his three steps for successful transitions.

Prepare to dive headfirst into a rabbit hole so deep, it'll make Wonderland look like a kiddie pool. Welcome back to part two of our explosive investigation into the ominously named "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars." What's that? Never heard of it? Oh, you must be new here. This 45-page document, my dear friends, isn't just another conspiracy theory we're throwing around for kicks. No, no. This is the playbook, the ultimate guide used by the oligarchs, elites, BlackRocks, Soros, Rothchilds, Rockefellers, and all those other people your parents warned you about. From the dark hallways of the Bilderberg meeting to the secretive schemes of the global puppet masters, we're breaking it down, leaving no stone unturned. If you thought part one was mind-bending, wait until you see what we've got lined up for you now. And hey, if you haven't caught part one yet, take a little detour back there. You wouldn't read the last chapter of a mystery novel first, would you? Well, you might, but that's not the point.

Tell me your craziest thoughts, your favorite color, or why you think cats rule the internet. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. But enough chit-chat, grab your tin foil hats and let's jump into Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, Part 2. The truth is out there, and it's about time someone put it on display! All Links: linktr.ee/theaustinjadams Merch: https://antielite.club 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 continuing our deep dive into what I have described as the single most disturbing, least discussed top secret document that anybody has ever gotten their hands on. Alright? Now, if you don't know what we're talking about, you should go back to the very first deep dive that we did last week, but the document itself is called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. I will give you a brief synopsis to catch you up to speed regarding where we are at within this document. It is a 45 page document, and again, I highly recommend that you start with part one. So go back, listen to part one, then come back here and listen to part two because it is well worth your time. This document has been the, what I would say, the playbook. By the oligarchs, by the elites, by the BlackRocks, by the Soros, by the Rothchilds, and the, you know, Rockefellers of the world. Absolute to a t playbook of how we got to where we are today, starting all the way back in the early forties when this document was created and presented at the very first Bilderberg meeting to the policy committee. Okay, so we will take a deep dive into the second half of this document. If you have not heard the first half, go listen to that now, and then I'll meet you right back here in about an hour and 20 minutes or so. Okay? But ev all of the podcast that I've done so far, I would say this is by far the craziest thing. And again, I, I discussed why last time. Right. The reason that this is so disturbing is not because of the individual. The reason this is so disturbing is because of how they've sociologically and, uh, been engineering the, the mass public of the world for so long successfully. And we'll get into a little bit more about that in just a minute. But before we do that, I need you to subscribe. If you're not already, which you should be, I need you to leave a five star review, which I would appreciate greatly. Takes five seconds outta your day, means a lot to me. Honestly, I would really highly appreciate it if you took the moments that we have right here before the episode starts. There's going to be the intro in just a minute. So leave a five star review. Tell me the craziest thing about this document. Tell me why, what you loved about this deep dive. Tell me your favorite color. I don't care. Leave a five star review. I would appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Then head over to the sub stack Austin Adams dot sub stack.com, Austin Adams dot sub stack.com. It is free to sign up. You will get the deep dives directly to your email. Last deep dive. I went into this in a ton of detail, a lot more detail than I anticipated where I found hyperlinks. I found the, um, receipts for everything that they were discussing within this document. The guy who was the head of the Harvard project in 1940s that was funded by the Rothschilds, I actually linked to the actual scientific findings itself. I, I, I went into a lot of detail in, into this sub, uh, giving you all of the links that I could possibly find regarding this document, breaking it down, giving you my opinions on each part of it from the first half, and giving you additional resources so you could go. Dive deeper into this topic. So head over there. It's free, Austin Adams dot sub stack.com. On top of that, you'll also get the full podcast, video podcast. As a reminder, you can follow me on YouTube and you'll actually be able to follow everything in video here. Alright? You'll be able to see what I'm talking about, the documents, the everything that we write up here on my screen. Okay? Uh, so head over to the sub stack, the highlighted version of this that I went through on this, uh, podcast is in there right now for you annotated all of the fun stuff. Go head over there right now. And without further ado, let's jump into silent Weapons for Quiet Wars part. The Adams Archive. All right. Silent weapons for quiet Wars part two. Now I'll give you a brief quick two to three to maybe four minute synopsis of what this document is, just to catch you up to speed. Even if you listen to last week, you might need a little refresher. So this document represents the adopted doctrine by the Policy Committee of the most. Powerful people, powerful families in the world today and a hundred years ago when this was implemented. Okay? 1954 was the first meeting that this was presented at at the Bilderberg Group. All right, so the following document dated May, 1979 was found on July 7th, 1986 and an I B M copier that had been purchased at a surplus deal. Now, if you think the first deep, deep dive that I did into this, if you think the first breakdown of silent weapons for quiet wars was disturbing, you are going to find this second half of this. Far more disturbing. It gets into the family unit unit. It gets into the position of the mother and the father and how they're going to, uh, break down the family unit from the inside. Okay? There's a ton of disturbing information in this document, but it, you need to know it. You need to understand what they've been doing to our families, what they've been doing to our economy, what they've been doing to, to our education system, all of it. And it's outlined perfectly in this document. Okay? So let me catch you up to speed with where we were at already. The first half of silent weapons for Quiet Wars broke down where this document came from, which was a c i a, uh, elite unit, which was used to at least understand the, the conspiracy that was going on behind closed doors. So they picked a elite group of people based on their personality types, what seems to be narcissists and sociopaths. Right. People who have a, you know, what they described to be, uh, less than, um, let's see if we can find the actual words from it. Uh, but the manual itself is 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. Okay. The solution of today's problems requires an approach which is ruthlessly candid with no agonizing over religious, moral, or cultural values. Okay? Then it gets into what is social engineering, how they could control the world with the push of a button based on data analysis. The Harvard Project that started it all, uh, which began in 1949, funded by the Rockefeller family, and they began it at Harvard. And then it was implemented with, along with the Air Force and moved over into the private sector in 1953. Okay. Because of its feasibility of economic and social engineering. Okay? Now, what we went into in the first part got a little technical, which was the fact that all people can be subjected and looked at and mathematically broken down the same way that energy can be. And that's how they began this theory of economics surrounding the theories around energy. So we went into that last time. Then we went into what is shock testing, right? How they were going to leverage data by having certain things that they implemented purposefully to see how it would break down the family unit to see how it would, you know, one correlation that they used was that when the price of gas went up, the, it actually largely correlated with the amount of headaches. So there's a lot of different ways that they've been manipulating large data sets. Now, if you think that this was terrifying then in 1954, I cannot imagine how terrifying this has become today with things like large language learning models like Chachi pt, right, with the use of AI in today's world. Alright, so as we scroll through this, again, it talked about basically how people needed to have a quiet war waged against them because you are so stupid, because you couldn't, you don't belong with the money that you were given you. There's no reason that you should be allowed to exist in a world where you have freedoms. Without an oligarchy above you controlling and social engineering, the general public, because without them, without our saviors, without those in positions of power of wealth, we would just be monkeys with tools, right? We would, we would eventually kill ourselves off according to them. So now where we pick up on this is worse, has not only the prices of commodities, right? We're getting back into what was economic shock testing and how do they use this? Not only the prices of commodities, but also the availability of labor can be used as a means of shock testing, labor strikes, deliver excellent tests, shocks to an economy, especially in the critical service areas of trucking, communication, public utilities, et cetera. Right now we go back to the. Strikes by the truckers that was being waged against people when they did the, uh, in Canada, right. The trucker rallies that began around Canada and then flowed into the United States briefly, but it says byock testing. It has found that there was a direct relationship between the availability of money flowing into the economy and the real psychological outlook and responses of masses of people dependent upon that availability. For example, there's a measurable quantitative relationship between the price of gas and the probability that a person would experience a headache, feel a need to watch a violent movie, smoke a cigarette, or go to a tavern for a mug of beer. Hmm. So they leveraged the shock testing, right, which is built off of the aviation model to see how much, uh, explosive loads a, a airplane could take without ripping itself apart. And they used it against people. Now they give all of the formulas here that they used. They're a little bit too technical here, but I'll go ahead and pull it up on the page for you. A little too technical for me to break down, but maybe you're a mathematician and or economist and you understand this. Uh, but I will leave that to you. It says, when the price of gasoline is shocked, all of the coefficients with Round G and the denominator are evaluated at the same time. If b, G and M were independent and sufficient for description of the economy, then three shock tests would be necessary to evaluate the system. Uh, now it, so it's just talking about how they actually implemented these things. It says this is the result into which we substitute to get that set of conditions, of prices of commodities, bad news on tv, which will deliver a collapse of public morale ripe for takeover. They actually have a formula for how much bad news, how much terrible propaganda, how many shootings, how many this, how many that they need to have over a time period in order to make the public more morale ripe for takeover once the economic price in sales coefficients A, J and K and BK and J. So these are where the formulas come into control may be translated into the technical supply and demand. Coefficient shock testing of a given commodity is then repeated to get the time rate of change of these technical coefficients. Right? So this gets a little technical again, but it starts to come back right now. Now I'm drinking a liquid death and I had somebody point out here, you know, liquid deaths were fairly, uh, common and, and especially in like the podcasting world and then. Um, but I, I'm a big fan of sparkling water and I actually like the can sparkling water. Um, but I also liked the marketing of Liquid Death, but apparently they have some advertising on their website, which they're great at advertising and marketing, but they actually have some advertising and marketing on their website with a shirt that ex exclaimed. It's said that basically they, as a brand had a witch come in and do a seance of some demonic type into the water, so you could even be drinking a demon. I, I don't know what that means, but you know, if I start saying, uh, Latin throughout this episode, you know, why blame it on the liquid death? And to combat that, I am drinking red wine. The water of the. Our Lord and Savior. Okay. Um, economic amplifiers, just kidding, uh, are the active components of economic engineering. The basic characteristic of an amplifier, mechanical, electrical, or economic is that it receives an input control signal and delivers energy from an independent energy source to a specified output terminal in the predictable relationship to that out input control signal, right? So this is the introduction to economic amplifiers. So economic amplifiers, again, are the active components of economic engineerings, right? So what, how do we actually move society? That is the amplifiers that basic characteristic of an amplifier, mechanical, electro electrical, or economic, is that it receives an input control signal, right? An input and delivers energy from an independent energy source to a specified output. Terminal in a predictable relationship to that input control signal. Right? So we do this on one end. This is the input output model that made the Harvard e Economist got his Nobel Peace Prize, or whatever the prize, I'm pretty sure it was the Nobel Peace Prize that he got for this input output model. The simplest form of an economic amplifier is a device called, Advertising, right? If I do this thing on the outside of this equals this thing, right? That's the money machine. If I put $1 in on this end, $2 comes in on this end, I'm gonna put all of my dollars back in. On the other side, if a person is spoken to by a TV advertiser as if he were a 12 year old, then due to suggestibility, he will, with a certain probability, respond or react to that suggestion with the uncritical response of a 12 year old, and will reach into his economic reservoir and deliver its energy to buy that product on impulse when he passes it in the store. An economic amplifier may have several inputs and output its response might be instantaneous or delayed. Its circuit symbol, might be a rotary switch if its options are exclusive. Qualitative go or no go, or it might have its parametric input, output relationships specified by a matrix with internal energy sources represented. Okay, so whatever it's for might be its purpose is to govern the flow of energy from a source to an input sync in direct relationship to an input control signal. For this reason, it is called an active circuit element or component. Economic amplifiers fall into classes called strategies, and in comparison with economic amplifiers, the specific internal functions of an economic amplifier are called logistical instead of electrical, right? We're getting technical again here. It says here, here's where we come back though. In the design of an economic amplifier, we must have some idea of at least five functions, and here they are. The availability, the availability of input signals. The desired output control objectives, the strategic objective, the available economic power sources, and the logistical options. The process of defining and evaluating these factors and incorporating the economic amplifier into an economic system have been popularly called game theory. Okay? So game theory is how you define the inputs and outputs, figuring out the economic amplifiers, and then utilizing those and leveraging those from a social engineering perspective. Now, the design of an economic amplifier begins with the specification of the power level of the output, right? So think of it when it comes to advertising as the amount of advertising dollars, right? It can range from personal to national, the second condition. And in their case, when they're talking about people, they're saying, are we going after a single individual? As the power level, or are we doing an entire nation at one time? The second condition is accuracy response. How accurately the input action is a function of the input commands. High gain, combined with strong feedback, helps to deliver the required precision. Most of the error in the input data signal, personal input, most of the error will be in the input data signal. Personal input data tends to be specified, while national input data tends to be statistical, right? So we're talking about anecdotal versus statistical data. Now, here are the inputs, right? Questions to be answered. The what, the where, the why, the when, the how, and the who. Those are the first questions that you have to answer regarding your inputs. What are you gonna do? Where are you gonna do it? Why are you gonna do it? When are you going to do it? How are you going to do it? And who are you going to do it to? Right? So what are we gonna do? We're gonna release a virus to the general public. Where are we gonna do it? Well, we're gonna start in Wuhan China. Why are we gonna do it? To implement totalitarian authoritarian pharmaceutical injections into people's bodies for profit? When are we gonna do it? How are we gonna do it? And who are we gonna do it to? General sources of information, telephone taps, analysis of garbage surveillance and behavior of children in school, right? So this is how they used to actually get the data. Now it's all on a mass scale. Now it's social media, right? So the standard of living, right? And that tells you how much this has been amplified, how big this has gotten in the last 180, 80 years since this was implemented. We went from analyzing people's garbage surveillance, phone taps, and the behavior of children to two, knowing your every move, your every conversation, your every Google search, all analyzed in huge data sets. Now, the standard of living by was measured food, shelter, clothing, transportation, the social contacts, telephone itemized record of calls, family marriage certificates and birth certificates, friends associates, memberships and organizations, and the political affiliations. Then they get into the personal paper trail, personal buying habits. Use of checking accounts, credit card purchases, tagged credit card purchases, right? Talking about U P C codes or barcodes, people's assets, checking accounts savings, real estate business, automotive safety deposits, stock market liabilities, right? Creditors, enemies and loans. Government sources such as welfare, social security, U S D A, surplus food grants and subsidies. And then the principle of this ploy. The citizen will almost always make the collection of information easy if he can operate on the free sandwich. Principle of EAT now, pay later, right? Eat now, pay later. Maybe I'll get the vaccine so that I can go to a concert and later I'll die of myocarditis maybe. I'll take a P P C loan for $10,000 and that might, you know, make me feel better about my business getting completely shut down, which I used to profit every day from $10,000, but, you know, $10,000 is nice. But what they don't tell you is they're gonna come ask for that from you within interest after they analyze your application and tell you that, oh wait, you really didn't qualify. We want our money back. And think of how many applications this comes into, right? The free sandwich principle comes into the world coin, right? Just scan your iris for 500 bucks and now we have your digital identity on the blockchain forever. It's never going away, but you got 500 bucks. But also now, in order for you to pay your groceries, we scan your iris, we check your social credit score, and now you can't buy the meat that you wanted because, eh, you said something about Joe Biden. Whatever it is, government sources. Here's how they intimidate you. It literally says, government sources via intimidation, I r S, OSHA census, et cetera. And then other government sources are surveillance of US mail. Okay? Then it gets into habit patterns. So how do they figure out the programming strengths and weaknesses? Activities such as sports and hobbies, legal, fear, anger, crime, record, hospital records for drug sensitivities, reaction to pain, psychiatric records for fears, anger, angers, discuss adaptability, reaction to stimuli, violence, suggestibility, hypnosis, pain, pleasure, love, and sex. Methods of coping. How do you deal with things, right? Consumption of alcohol, consumption of drugs, entertainment, religious factors. Payment, modus operandi, do you pay on time? Payment of telephone bills, energy purchases, water repayment of loans, house payments, automobile credit cards. Then political sensitivity, right? So they're just, they're figuring out all of the data points, right? What are all of the inputs, right? What are the things that they can measure? What is the, what is the total? These are all listing out. Here's what's going in, right? Here's the activities, here's the legal records, here's the drug sensitivities. Here's how much alcohol we're consuming as a nation. Here's how many drugs we're consuming. Here's the percentage of people that are paying off their utility bills. Right? Here's, here's the political belief systems through Census bureaus. Here's how many people aren't paying off their i r s, uh, paid, you know, their taxes. Here's the police records that are going up, the driving records, the reports made by police insurance percentages. Anti-establishment acquaintances, right? So those are the inputs such as legal inputs, behavioral control, right? Um, and then they list off what those behavioral controls are. Excuses for investigations, search, arrest, employment of for force to modify behavior, court records, police records, driving records. Then the national input information, prices of commodities, sales investments, right? So before we were talking about personal, now we're talking about national banks and credit bureaus. Credit information, payment information, polls and surveys, publications, telephone records. Okay? So those are all of the inputs. Okay? Now here's the outputs. Here's the create controlled situations. Manipulate the economy, society, control by control of compensation and income. All right, so it says Allocates opportunities, right? So this is the sequence in which the outputs come. Allocate opportunities, destroy opportunities, right? They allocate the amount of jobs, then they destroy them. Controls the economic environment, controls the availability of raw materials, controls capital controls, bank rates, inflation of currency, possession of property, industrial capacity, manufacturing, availability of goods, the prices of commodities services, labor force payments to government officials, legal functions, a advertising media contracts, material available for TV viewing. Disengages attention from real issues, engages emotions, creates disorder, chaos, and insanity. Controls design of more probing tax forms, controls, surveillance, storage of information. Develop psychological analysis and profiles of individuals controls, legal functions, sociological factors, health options, praise on weaknesses, cripple strengths, and then leaches, wealth and substances, right? So now it gives you a table of strategies, right? Here's your inputs, here's your outputs. Okay? So if the elites do this, then they expect this. If they keep the public ignorant, they expect less public organization. If they maintain access to control points for feedback, the required reaction for inputs is prices and sales. If they create preoccupation, they lower the defense, right? If the family unit is so disintegrated to where the father goes to work, nine to five, the mom goes to work nine to five, they drop their kid off at school, nine to five, they come home, they eat dinner, they go to bed. Well, in the meantime, The job that they're at is controlled through corporations, which are controlled through these large entities like BlackRock and Vanguard, which is controlled by these families. In the meantime, your child goes to school and while your child's going to school, all of the books that were, they were funded by all of the teachers who were hired, all have the same ideology, which is in line with these companies in corporations and organizations like BlackRock, Vanguard, and these families. Right now, they've lowered your defense attack the family unit. If you do this, you control the education of the young. If you give less cash and more credit, more self-indulgence and more data, if you attack the privacy of the church, you destroy faith in this sort of government. If you. Give social conformity computer. You get computer program simplicity, computer programming, simplicity. So social conformity, meaning how can we get everybody to act in one way, right? How can we get them to move as a flock? And if we get them to move as a flock, we can have more successful data analysis. Minimize the tax protest. If you do this, you maximize economic data and minimum enforcement problems. If you stabilize the consent, the simplicity coefficients, if you tighten control of variables, simpler computer input data, you get greater predictability, right? If you proper timing, less data shift and blurring, if you maximize control, minimum resistance to control. If you collapse the currency, you destroy the faith of the American people in each other, right? So if we do this, then this is what we get. And so, If we want this, if we want this output, we do this input. If we want to destroy the faith in the American people in each other, we collapse their currency. If we want minimum resistance to control, we maximize our control initially, right? If we want to maximize economic data and minimum enforcement problems, we minimize the tax protest. If we want to control the education of the young, we attack the family unit, right? And how many things come out of that? How many times have they attacked the family unit and, and specifically for the idea to control the education of the young for what purpose? They're propagandizing. They're, they're hypnotizing, they're implanting ideas of the future of adults. Through the education system, right? If you want to lower the defense, you create preoccupation. If we want this thing, we do this thing first to get it right. So figure out your what output you're desiring and then reverse engineer the input. Now, next part is where it gets interesting and a little bit less technical. Alright? Diversion, the primary strategy and it says, Experience has prevent that. The simplest method of securing a silent weapon and gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant to the basic system principles on the one hand, while keeping them confused, disorganized, and distracted with matters of no real importance. On the other hand, diversion is the main strategy of societal engineering, right? You wanna talk about the Black Lives Matter riots over one single individual, while probably tens and twenties, dozens of those happen every quarter, every month, but they decide to hone in on it. They put all of the news media on this one event, right? George Floyd, because they're creating a divergent or di diversion right now. That's not to say that that wasn't, uh, something that should be talked about or shouldn't. Be protested or whatever, but it is saying that there was a formulated intent by the news media to cause that to be something of discussion, right? If every single news company plays that clip over and over and over again, and it's all shocking enough, it's gonna cause this output, right? If we desire the output, the output being a diversion, so that we can then ramp up our control, well, what's the input? The input is a diversion. George Floyd. Now this is achieved by, or, or even, let's take it even further, it maybe the, the entire diversion was covid and pharmaceutical companies took advantage, but who really took advantage of Covid, right? Who's talking about the new normal? Oh, that was pretty good. Claude Schwab, right? The World Economic Forum. It's a new normal, right? They want to re-engineer society, and they're not even hiding this from you anymore. The great reset is just silent weapons for quiet wars spoken out loud. They no longer care that it's silent or not right? The societal engineering, they, they've pulled back the curtain now, whatever that, that Frank Zappa quote, right? Um, when, when the, when the illusion becomes too expensive or too difficult to maintain, they will pull back the curtain and reveal the cinder block wall behind the show, right? It's like they know that we know. Now comes authoritarian action because they can no longer do this. S slight of hand bullshit. They can no longer tell you that elections are, aren't, uh, in some way, shape or form. Uh, manipulatable, right as shown by some of the cases that we saw. They can no longer have this position when there's been court cases to back it up. The general public is talking about it consistently. So they just pull back the curtain. They go, all right guys, you've got us. The great reset is happening today, right? We, we will no longer eat cows, we'll eat bugs. Well, not me, I love steak, but you'll eat the bugs. So that's what they want. They want the diversion, right? They want you to be confused, disorganized, distracted, with matters of no real importance. I. Gender ideology. I hate talking about gender ideology specifically because you're playing into the diversion of the elites. This is exactly what they want, is us fighting each other about Leah Thomas, while some 17 year old cuts their boobs off and proclaims that they're a man. They've gotten us so good with this, right? And I, I have such a problem with perpetuating this conversation because it's simply a diversion. A diversion from something greater, a much, much bigger conversation. That's not to say that we shouldn't be having this conversations because they caused this internal war between political ideologies. Were, we're, we're having a, a mass taking over of our youth, right? 22% of children now identify as lgbtqia a element P plus, right? 22%. One in five. The generation before it was like 8%. Gen, uh, millennials before that, it's like 2% before that it's 0.8%, right? Like boomers is like 2% of people identify and the vast majority of those are the L, the G's and the B's, not the T's or the Q's or the I's or the A's. Right? But so many people are like, oh, I'm non-binary. They're Gen Zers out there trying to feel special. So we have to make, we have to proclaim these things. We have to fight when they're shaking their dicks in front of us at, you know, in our children at Pride parades like. You have to have that discussion. But I hate having it so consistently every time, like I, I, it's, I feel like a broken record, but you have to have these discussions. But it's like the conservative side has gotten drawn into it just as much as the liberal side, right? They want you to be on those sides. They don't want people in the middle talking about silent weapons for quiet wars. They want you speaking about gender identity. They want you speaking about Joe Biden falling asleep during a presidential conversation. They want you speaking about all of the ridiculousness that is going on in this world today, but they don't want you talking about this societal engineering at a mass scale by the elites. So instead, they muddy the water with transgender non-binary, high inflated gas prices, no toilet paper. Uh, George Floyd's. Uh, riots in New York over a PSS five. All of these things are diversions and, and, and tactics to divert your attention from this hand, which is really doing something with this one over here, right over here. So it says, disengage. This is achieved by disengage their minds, sabotaging their mental activities, providing a low quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems, design and economics, and discouraging technical creativity. Okay? So again, these diversions are done by disengaging their mind, sabotaging their mental activities, providing low quality program of public education in mathematics, logic systems, designs and economics, and discouraging technical creativity, engaging their emotions. Increasing their self-indulgence in their indulgence in emotional and physical activities by unrelenting emotional confrontations and attacks. Quote, mental and emotional rape by way of constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media, especially the TV and the newspapers, giving them what they desire in excess junk food for thought and depriving them of what they really need. Right? So you wanna talk about the sexualization of our generation? You wanna talk about the only fan's culture, the porn hub culture. Right? How, how, how, how all of these social media companies have said that they are. You know, they are, they're bringing our society to a place where there's more connection. It's like, no, we're more disconnected than whenever we have more depression than ever. Right? All, all of these things have come together to make us be able to pull up our phone, find a, you know, a, a model who's willing to show themselves off for a few dollars. Release the hormones that were meant to create connection, literally hijacking your, your center of energy. Your, you know, there's a reason that the, the, the kundalini, uh, yoga is, is what it is, is because there's your sexuality, your sexual energy, all of those things are, are combined to create your, your emotions, your hierarchy of, uh, of, of chemicals in your body. Like you have a specific set of chemicals that are sexual in nature for procreation, for connection with your spouse, for, to, to, to make you want to stick around for your children, to make you like. So when you hijack as a societal engineering, you hijack that. You make, you make porn so cheap you don't even have to pay for it. Like, imagine that, how is it that there's so much unrelenting, un unbelievable amounts of porn out there, and you don't have to pay for any of it. Right. None of it, none of it has to come from your pocket. You have a unlimited access, a river of, of women and men and whatever types of situations you could ever imagine in your dreams, that's so far from reality of what you would actually have access to or even really want if you were in a, in a personal setting with somebody, right? It's like this unlimited river of, of this biohacking of your sexual energy to the point where it devalues that connection. It devalues your connection with your spouse. It devalues those, those, uh, moments with the person that you love or, or the connection or the release that you get after months and months or years and years of, of, uh, of, uh, sexual non indulgence of celibacy. Right, but when you can get one off every night from pulling up your iPhone, like what, what is the, what the, the, the same internal drive that would normally make you go find a connection and find love and settle down and, and have those feelings for someone is now redirected, hijacked. It's the junk food, right? It's like literally instead of getting satiating amounts of nutrients, which have actual value, you're eating candy, right? Which feels good in your mouth for about five seconds, but the actual outcome is not, not what it's meant for, right? It's not meant to be 20 seconds of joy or, or elated feeling or, you know, release of oxytocin for the purpose of release of oxytocin. It's, it's meant for connection, right? So they achieved this. By unrelenting emotional confrontations and attacks, mental, emotional rape by way of constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media, especially in the TV and in the newspapers, giving them what they desire in excess junk food for thought and depriving them of what they really need. Right? You wanna talk about all of the Kim Kardashians, the, the Jersey shores, right? All of those while, while people used to read hemmingway and used to, uh, color and or color used to color with crayons back in the day, they used to, to paint and, and learn to have real artistic technical abilities, right? It says, these preclude their interest in, in discovery of the silent weapons of social automation technology. The general rule is that there is a profit in confusion. The more confusion, the more profit. Therefore the best approach is to create problems and then offer solutions. Here's your summary of diversion media. Keep the adult public attention diverted away from real social issues and captivated by matters of no real importance. Schools keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law and real history, entertainment. Keep the public entertainment below a sixth grade level. That's what they think about you, and that's how they divert your attention, right? They give you the absolute minimum, minimum amount of entertainment to where you're, you're the same way that they said they could advertise at a 12, 12 year old level, right? They entertain you at a 12 year old level too, so you have to seek these things, right? You have to seek. External stimulation. That's why podcasts, like even hyper-technical podcasts, like some of the podcasts I listened to with, with Lex Friedman and the discussions that he has with people in AI or mathematicians or astrophysicists or like, they're far above my level of intellect for me to jump in and spar with these people intellectually and on these certain topics. But there, there's something about them that is satiating, right? It's not the Kardashians, it's not the, the Jersey Shores. It's, it's something that like your mind just craves that there's been none of, there was none in the public education system. There was none of it when you went to most universities, right? The pay to play on the real education is like so much more difficult to actually get above that level. And this says work, keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think back on the farm with the other animals. Now we get into consent. The primary victory, a silent weapon system operates upon data obtained from a docile public by legal, but not always lawful force. Much information is made available to silent weapon system programmers through the I r s see studies in the structure of American economy for an I R S source list. The information consists of the enforced delivery of well-organized data contained in federal and state tax forms collected, assembled, and submitted by slave labor provided by taxpayers and employers. Furthermore, the number of such forms submitted by the i r S is a useful indicator of public consent, an important factor in strategic decision making. Other data sources are given in the short list of inputs right now. That's a fair point. What I would like, let's, let's talk about this for a second. We realized one thing with target, And Bud Light, there is power in your money. If you decide that you're no longer going to give your money to Bud Light, when you draw that line, right, and you say, I'm no longer going to accept this reality that you are enforcing upon me via your advertising, right? Everybody feels powerless when it comes to our government. Everybody feels like, oh, there's nothing we can do about these elections. Oh, there's nothing we can do about this man falling asleep against other while talking with other presidents, right? There's nothing we can do. There's nothing we can do. Well, what can I do? I'm just a person, right? It's like, okay, yes, as an individual, if you boycott Bud Light, the repercussions to Bud Light are very low, and the likelihood that something's gonna change is also very low. But in mass, if we boycott the monetary systems of our government in mass, They will be forced to change, right? We don't need massive riots in the streets. It literally just takes you not actively filing these forms and giving them a large portion of your money. Like most people don't know when you sign up for your taxes through your W two that you can. Put exemptions, self exemptions, and then you just pay at the end of the year. Right? You don't have to have them take it out of every single paycheck. Right? It's like, if it gets to that point, which again, I hope it doesn't, and I hope our government just completely, but we keep sending billions upon billions upon billions of dollars over to Ukraine for no reason, right? So we saw the effects of this with Bud Light at one point or another. We may see the effects of this type of boycotting on a federal, national level through taxes. None of our founding fathers had the belief that we should be paying four D percent of your money to the government for them to send it away to their friends for quid pro quo relationships into Ukraine for a war that we're not even a part of. None of them, right? And now they even outline it here. A silent s a silent weapon system operates upon data obtained from docile, public by legal, not always lawful force. Much information is made available to silent weapons systems programmers through the I R Ss. On top of that, the number of forms submitted is an indicator of compliance, is a public temperature gauge. Are we still okay? By sending $50 billion to Ukraine, having a complete criminal in, in a position of the presidency, and also having our f b I be weaponized against everybody that that's potentially its enemies. Well, they're still paying us, so as long as they keep paying us, we might as well keep doing it right? It's like, so they actually utilized and leveraged this as a consent coefficient. That's what they call it here. Um, other data sources are given in the short list of inputs, consent coefficients, numerical feedback indicating victory status. Psychological basis when the government is able to collect tax and seize private property without just compensation, it is an indication that the public is ripe for surrender and is consenting to enslavement and legal encroachment. This says a good and easy quantified indicator of harvest time is the number of public citizens who pay income tax despite an obvious lack of reciprocal or honest service from the government. I will repeat that for you. I the consent coefficient. A good and easily quantified indicator of harvest time is the number of public citizens who pay income tax. Despite an obvious lack of reciprocal or honest service from the government, and that is exactly what we have right now. We have no re if if somebody from the government came to you and like was a salesperson and decided, Hey, I'm gonna, I'm gonna charge you an annual fee. Okay, that's fine. I'll, I'll, well, tell me what your service is. Well, I'm going to erode the, the sanctity of marriage. I'm going to disintegrate the public education for your children. I'm going to inflate the value of your money. I'm going to purposefully release viruses so that my friends over there in the pharmaceutical industry can profit off of your death. I'm going to elect incompetent individuals to represent you on a world stage. I'm going to send your sons and your daughters to war to die at the drop of a hat for whatever right reason I see as profitable. And all I need in exchange for all of those amazing things is 40 to 60% of your income. Would you sign up for that? Would you pay that annual fee? I don't think very many people would. I don't. I just don't see it. I don't, I, I cannot see the value right now of this right now. I'm not saying go, don't go pay your taxes. 'cause Lord knows, right? That's the last thing we need in our lives, getting audited and all of that that comes with that. But what I would say is if enough people did it at enough times together in unison with a set plan and actionable goal of asks. From the government. That is true power, right? Not just not paying it for not paying it, but if there was a set group of people, a large group percentage of the people who decided, we are not going to continue funding this government organization until these things are done. Maybe we even put it in escrow, right? Well, we have this money in an escrow account for U I R S, we have it set aside, but guess what? You're not getting 50% of your tax revenue until we get somebody impeached who's a criminal at the current head of our country, maybe get some competent people to actually be in the presidential race. Maybe stop sending money and weapons of mass destruction from our income to kill Russians and Ukrainians in a war that means nothing to us. Maybe stop poisoning our children through food systems and poisoning their intellect through educational systems. Maybe don't take any funding from BlackRock. Maybe don't take any funding from Vanguard. Right? Maybe, maybe we disintegrate those co, those large wealth management organizations through monopoly laws, right? Maybe we do that until we can trace back where this funding's coming from. May maybe you're not allowed to invest while you're in a position of power. What are our asks? What? What is the, what is the list of things that we ask for? Set aside the portion of money into an escrow account. Tell 'em it's right here for you as soon as you do this, this, this, and this. How quickly do you think if 50% of the country jumped on board with that, do you think that they would change their ways? Hmm. Interesting question. Especially when they're literally using it as a qualified indicator of harvest time according to this document. Now, here's the amplified energy sources. Okay? It says, the next step in the process of designing an economic amplifier is discovering the energy sources. The energy sources, which support any primitive economic system are, of course, a supply of raw materials and the consent of the people to labor, and consequently assume a certain rank, position, level, or class in the social structure to provide labor at various levels in the pecking order. Okay, so the next step in the process is designing an economic amplifier in discovering the energy sources. They do that by getting your consent to work and accept your claim in life, right? Accepting your certain rank, position, level, or class. Each class. In guaranteeing its own level of income, controls the class immediately below it hence preserves the class structure. This provides stability and security, but also government from the top. As time goes on. And communication and education improve. The lower class elements of social labor structure become knowledgeable and envious of the good things that the upper class members have. They also begin to attain knowledge of energy systems and the ability to enforce their rise through the class structure. This threatens the sovereignty of the elite. It says, if this rise of the lower class can be postponed long enough, the elite can achieve energy dominance. Labor by consent no longer will hold a position of an essential energy source. Right? And that makes sense, especially when we're getting into automation, right? If, if they can hold off the lower class long enough, the labor class, the class of of lower class individuals making minimum wage, they can eventually bring in automation systems of robots to eliminate the need altogether for that class of people, right? If they can postpone that long enough, the elite can achieve energy, dominance and labor by consent no longer will hold a position of an essential energy source. Until such energy dominance is absolutely established, the consent of people to labor and let others handle their affairs must be taken into consideration. And maybe that's why we're seeing this amplification right now of authoritarianism, right? They don't need you anymore. They'll need to take you into consideration. Since failure to do so could cause the people to interfere in the final transfer of energy sources to the control of the elite. It says it is essential to recognize that at this time, public consent is still an essential key to the release of energy in the process of economic amplification. Therefore, consent as an energy release mechanism will now be considered for now until they don't need you. Because they have robots five to 10 years from now and now they don't need your consent. The walls come down, the barbed wire goes up. They don't need you. That's terrifying 'cause that's where we're going very, very quickly. This perfectly outlines how quickly they're going to completely obliterate the lower class citizens, the labor workers from society. They put 'em on a universal BA basic income of $2,000 a month. Maybe they pay for a food bank down the road where everything becomes socialized. They don't need your consent because they don't need you to build the things that they need to have things built. Now it says logistics. The successful application of a strategy requires a careful study of inputs, outputs, the strategy, connecting the inputs and the outputs, and the available energy sources to fuel the strategy. This is called logistics. A logistical problem is studied at the elementary level first, and then levels of greater complexity are studied as a synthesis of elementary factors. This means that given a system that a given system is analyzed, broken down into the subsystems, and these in turn are analyzed until by this process one arrives at the logistical atom, the individual. This is where the process of synthesis properly begins at the time of birth of the individual. Now, this to me is where this gets the most scary. Okay? These next few pages are absolutely terrifying. Okay. The rest of this gets crazier and crazier and crazier. Okay, so it took us a minute, a little bit of technicality to get to this point, but this gets dark, very, very dark. Okay, so here we go. The artificial womb. From time, from the time a person leaves its mother's womb, it's every effort is directed towards building, maintaining, and withdrawing into artificial wombs, various sorts of substitute protective devices or shells. The objective of these artificial wombs is to provide a stable environment for both stable and unstable activity, to provide a shelter for the evolutionary processes of growth and maturity, survival to provide security of freedom. And to provide defensive protection for offensive activity. This is equally true of both the general public and the elite. However, there is the definite difference in the way each of the classes goes about the solution of problems, the political structure of a nation dependency. The primary reason why the individual citizens of a country create a political structure is a subconscious wish or desire to perpetuate their own dependency relationship of childhood. Simply put, they want a human God to eliminate all risk from their life. Pat them on the head, kiss their bruises, put a chicken on every dinner table, close their bodies, tuck them into bed at night, and tell them that everything will be all right when you wake up in the morning. This public demand is incredible, so the human God, the politician. You hear that? So the human God, the politician meets in credibility with, in credibility, by promising the world and delivering nothing. So who is the bigger liar? The public or the godfather? This public behavior is surrendered, born of fear, laziness, and expediency. It is the basis of the welfare state as a strategic weapon useful against a disgusting public. It says so let's break that down. They're saying that you come from a mommy and a daddy, and you want government to be your mommy and your daddy to house you, to give you food, to make you feel stable, to protect you from the burglars and the robbers so that you don't have to deal with any of that. It's an easy button, right? They want you to eliminate all risk from life, and they say, I. The human God is the politician in this very government document. How terrifying is that? That's how they look at themselves, meets in credibility with, in credibility, by promising the world and delivering nothing. How many times have we seen the president, every single presidential race, ever, every debate, every, every a hundred. What is it? A hundred first, 180 days. I'm gonna do these things almost every time. They do none of it, right? That includes Trump, that includes Clinton, that includes the Bushes, that includes Joe Biden, that includes every single president in history, promises the world, and delivers on nothing, because what you want is so ridiculous they say. It's not feasible for a politician, for a government to make you feel safe to feed everybody, to house, everybody, to make there be no, uh, war in the world, to tuck you in at bed at night and tell you that everything's gonna be all right. Right? It's not doable. So it says, most people want to be able to subdue and or kill other human beings, which disturb their daily lives, but they do not want to have to cope with the moral and religious issues, which such an overt act on their part might raise. Therefore, they assign the dirty work to others, including their own children, so as to keep the blood off their hands, they rave about the humane treatment of animals, and then sit down to a delicious burger. From a whitewash slaughterhouse down the street and out of sight, but even more hypocritical, they pay taxes to finance a professional association of hitmen, collectively called politicians, and then complain about corruption in government. Wow. Now it says responsibility again. Most people want to be free to do the things to explore, but they're afraid to fail. The fear of failure is manifested in the irresponsibility and especially in delegating those personal responsibilities to others. Where success is uncertain or carries possible, or created liabilities, which the person is not prepared to accept. They want authority, root word, author. They want authority. Authority, but they will not accept responsibility or liability. So they hire politicians to face reality for them, right? They want authority, but they will not accept responsibility or liability. So they hire politicians to face reality for them, right? So they're framing the idea of politics. They're framing the idea of the politician they're calling the politician, the godfather, the man who's supposed to tuck you in a bed, tuck you in a bed to give you food, to be the end all, be all of your social responsibility. And they say that you hire politicians to face this reality for you, right? So here's the summary. The people hire politicians so that the people can obtain security without managing it. Obtain action without thinking about it. Inflict theft, injury, and death upon others without having to contemplate either life or death. Avoid responsibility for their intentions. Obtain the benefits of reality and science without exerting themselves in the discipline of facing or learning either. They give politicians the power to create and manage a war machine by providing for the survival of the nation or the womb, prevent encroachment of anything upon the nation or the womb, destroy the enemy who threatens the nation slash womb and destroy those citizens of their own country, who then who do not conform for the stake of or for the sake of stability of the nation or the womb politicians. It says, hold quasi-military jobs, the lowest being the police, which are soldiers, the attorneys and CPAs next who are spies and saboteurs, the judges who shout orders and run the closed union military shop for whatever the market will bear. The generals are industrialists. The presidential level of Commander in Chiefs is shared by the international by bankers. So they outline the hierarchy perfectly right? The presidential level commander in chief is shared by international bankers, not by politicians. The generals are the industrialists. The judges are the ones who shout orders. The CPAs are the spies, and the cops are the soldiers. The people know now that they have created this farce and financed it with their own taxes, which is their consent, but they would rather knuckle under then be a hypocrite. Thus, a nation becomes divided into two very distinct parts. A docile sub nation, the great silent majority in the political sub nation. The political sub nation remains unattached or remains attached to the docile sub nation, tolerates it and leaches its substance until it grows strong enough to detach itself and then devour its parent. Interesting. So I'm gonna read that again 'cause I don't quite understand that. A nation becomes divided into two very distinct parts, right? A conforming sub nation, right? The, the vast majority of people, right? Probably 95% of people who is the silent majority and a political sub nation, the political sub nation, right? The 5% maybe remains attached to the docile silent majority. They tolerate it and then they leach its substance until it grows strong enough. To detach itself and then devour its parent. Hmm. The people know that they have created this farce and financed it with their own taxes or consent, but they would rather knuckle under than be a the hypocrite. Hmm. In order to make meaningful, computerized economic decisions about war, the primary economic flywheel, right. War is the primary economic flywheel. It is necessary to assign concrete, logistical values to each element of the war structure, personnel, and material alike. Now we're gonna get into war and how the elites leverage war for profit and how they do it through drafts, through the dissection of the the family. I. Right, specifically within roles about the mother and the father. So here it goes. It says the draft, right? So let's, let's start off at the beginning. In order to make meaningful computerized economic decisions about war, the primary economic flywheel, it is necessary to assign concrete, logistical values to each element of the war structure, personnel, and material alike. This process begins with a clear, candid description of the subsystems of such a structure. The draft few efforts of human behavior modification are more remarkable or more effective than that of the socio military institution known as the draft. A primary purpose of a draft or other such institution is to instill by intimidation in the young males of a society, the uncritical conviction. The government is omnipotent. He is soon enough, taught that a prayer is slow to reverse what a bullet can do in an instant. Thus, a man is trained in a religious environment for 18 years of his life. A man trained in a religious environment for 18 years of his life can by this instrument of the government be broken down, purged of his fantasies and delusions in a matter of mere months. Once that conviction is instilled, all else becomes easy to instill. Hmm. So the conviction of faith, the conviction of faith in a religious setting specifically can be encroached upon through war, right? By watching a bullet kill your friend right next to you, right? It's very hard to believe in God when you have these atrocious acts happening all around you. I. Which seemingly are the acts of the devil, not of the Lord. Right. Even more interesting is this process, right? So, but it's saying the, the protector of this, the, the veil that that can be put over, that can protect you from this type of thing that is being encroached upon through war by man, right? Giving you the idea that the government is omnipotent, not God, right? He has soon taught that a prayer is slow to reverse what a bullet can do in an instant. Thus, a man trained in a religious environment for 18 years of his life can by this instrument of the government be broken down, purged of his fantasies and delusions in the matter of months. Once that conviction is instilled in him, everything else becomes easy to instill. Even more interesting is the process by which a young man's parents who purportedly love him can be induced to send him off to war, to his death. Although the scope of this work will now not only. Although the scope of this work will not only allow this matter to be expanded in full detail, nevertheless, a course overview will be possible and conserve to reveal those factors which must be included in some numerical form in a computer analysis of social and more systems. So it's saying that you have to through, even the parents can be broken down into data sets. They say they love their child, but they're gonna send him to go what? Get into a firefight. Go, go work for the national drug cartel right to to, to fight for something that we don't even understand or believe in. It says we begin with a tentative definition of the draft. The draft selective service is an institution of compulsory collective sacrifice and slavery devised by the middle aged and elderly for the purpose of pressing the young into doing the public dirty work. It further serves to make the youth as guilty as the elders, thus making criticisms of the elders by the youth youth, less likely generational stabilizers. It is marketed and sold to the public under the label of patriotic national service. So the old rich guys send the young poor guys to war. That way the young poor guys become complicit in the actions of these old white dudes, these old bankers, these old men who are making decisions for profitability. They find the very people who could take them down through action, give them a monthly stipend and make them complicit in their acts of war that way. Now, you can't say anything to me young man, 'cause you are the one who pulled the trigger. I just paid you to do it. Once a candid economic definition of the draft is achieved, that definition is used to outline the boundaries of a structure called a human value system, which is in turn translated into the terms of game theory. The value of such a slave laborer is given in a table of human values, a table broken down into ca, categories of intellect, experience, post-service, job demand, post-service, job demand, et cetera. Some of these categories are ordinary and can be tentatively evaluated in terms of the value of certain jobs for which a known fee exists. Some jobs are harder to value because of their, they're unique to the demands of social subversion. For an extreme example, the value of a mother's instruction to her daughter causing that daughter to put certain behavioral demands upon a future husband 10 or 15 years, hence, thus, by suppressing his resistance to a perversion of a government. I. Making it easier for a banking cartel to buy the state of New York in say 20 years. Hmm. Some jobs are harder of the value. Let's reread that. Some jobs are harder of the value because they have have unique demands of social subversion. For an extreme example, the value of a mother's instruction to her daughter. Right. So putting a value on teaching that mother that she should be telling her daughter this. This idea then causing the daughter to put these demands on the husband 10 to 15 years down the road, then suppressing his resistance to the government, making it easier for a banking cartel to buy the state of New York in 20 years. So when it started at the mother, it trickled down to the daughter and she enforced those beliefs on her husband, which made it easier for them to do what they wanted to do 20 years down the road. Right. Makes sense. Such a problem leans heavily upon the observations and data of wartime espionage and many times of psychological testing. But crude mathematic models, algorithms can be devised if not to predict, at least to pre determinate these events and with maximum certainty. What does not exist by natural cooperation is thus enhanced by calculated compulsion. Human beings are machines levers, which may be grasped and turned, and there is little real difference between automating a society and automating a sho
While it seems intuitively obvious that good management is important to the success of an organization, perhaps that obvious point needs some evidence given how so many institutions seem to muddle through regardless. Enter Raffaela Sadun, the Charles E. Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and co-leader of the Digital Reskilling Lab there. Working through several managerial mega-projects she co-founded, Sadun can both identify traits of successful management and even put a quantitative value to what good management can bring to a firm (spoiler alert – as Sadun will explain, it's a big number). In this Social Science Bites podcast, Sadun discusses her research findings with host David Edmonds, who open his inquiry with a very basic question: What, exactly, do we mean by ‘management'? “It's a complicated answer,” Sadun replies. “I think that management is the consistent application of processes that relate to both the operations of the organization as well as the management of human resources. And at the end of the day, management is not that difficult. It's being able to implement these processes and update them and sort of adapt them to the context of the organization.” In a practical sense, that involves things like monitoring workers, solving problems and coordinating disparate activities, activities that ultimately require someone “to be in charge.” But not just anyone, Sadun details, and not just someone who happens to be higher up. “The most effective managers are the ones that are able to empower and get information and reliable information from their team, which is fundamentally a bottom-up approach rather than a top-down approach.” If that sounds a little different from the adversarial relationship many expect between workers and managers, well, good management is a little different, she continues. “I can see how you can think of this as being a trade-off (profit versus well-being of workers), but if you look at the type of practices that we measure, as I said, they're not exploitations, but they are ways to get people engaged and empowered to sort of participate into the work. It's always possible that there are organizations that push so much on one side of the equation that make people very unhappy. In my experience, these type of situations are not sustainable.” Good people – the ones employers prize -- won't put up with too much garbage. “Talented people are attracted--to the extent that they want to work for somebody else—they're attracted to places where their life is not miserable.” Sadun came to her conclusions through projects like the World Management Survey, which she co-founded two decades ago. “We spoke with more than 20,000 managers to date—around 35 countries, [and ..] collected typically [by] talking with middle managers.” Other big projects include the Executive Time Use Study, and MOPS-H, the first large-scale management survey in hospitals and one conducted in partnership with the US Census Bureau. In her native Italy, Sadun was an economic adviser to the Italian government in the early 2020s, earning the highest honor possible from the government, the Grande Ufficiale dell'Ordine "Al Merito della Repubblica Italiana." In the United States, serves as director of the National Bureau of Economic Research Working Group in Organizational Economics, and is faculty co-chair of the Harvard Project on the Workforce.
Professor David Deming of the Harvard Kennedy School, co-director of the Harvard Project on Workforce, breaks down the project's College-to-Jobs playbook and interactive map.
Harvard Kennedy School Professor Joseph Kalt and Megan Minoka Hill say the evidence is in: When Native nations make their own decisions about what development approaches to take, studies show they consistently out-perform external decision makers like the U.S. Department of Indian Affairs. Kalt and Hill say that's why Harvard is going all in, recently changing the name of the Project on American Indian Economic Development to the Project on Indigenous Governance and Development—pushing the issue of governance to the forefront—and announcing an infusion of millions in funding. When the project launched in the mid-1980s, the popular perception of life in America's indigenous nations—based at least partly in reality—was one of poverty and dysfunction. But it was also a time when tribes were being granted increased autonomy from the federal government and starting to govern themselves. Researchers noticed that unexpected tribal economic success stories were starting to crop up, and they set about trying to determine those successes were a result of causation or coincidence. Over the decades, Kalt and Hill say the research has shown that empowered tribal nations not only succeed themselves, they also become economic engines for the regions that surround them. The recent announcement of $15 million in new support for the program, including an endowed professorship, will help make supporting tribal self-government a permanent part of the Kennedy School's mission. Joseph P. Kalt is the Ford Foundation Professor of International Political Economy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and director of the Project on Indigenous Governance and Development, formerly the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development. He is the author of numerous studies on economic development and nation building in Indian Country and a principal author of the Harvard Project's The State of the Native Nations. Together with the University of Arizona's Native Nations Institute for Leadership, Management, and Policy, the Project has formed The Partnership for Native Nation Building. Since 2005, Kalt has been a visiting professor at The University of Arizona's Eller College of Management and is also faculty chair for nation building programs at the Native Nations Institute. Kalt has served as advisor to Canada's Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, a commissioner on the President's Commission on Aviation Safety, and on the Steering Committee of the National Park Service's National Parks for the 21st Century. A native of Tucson, Arizona, he earned his Ph.D. and M.A. in Economics from the University of California at Los Angeles, and his B.A. in Economics from Stanford University.Megan Minoka Hill is senior director of the Project on Indigenous Governance and Development and director of the Honoring Nations program at the Harvard Kennedy School. Honoring Nations is a national awards program that identifies, celebrates, and shares outstanding examples of tribal governance. Founded in 1998, the awards program spotlights tribal government programs and initiatives that are especially effective in addressing critical concerns and challenges facing the more than 570 Indian nations and their citizens. Hill serves on the board of the Native Governance Center, is a member of the NAGPRA Advisory Committee for the Peabody Museum, and is a member of the Reimagining our Economy Commission at the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Hill graduated from the University of Chicago with a Master of Arts Degree in the Social Sciences and earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs and Economics from the University of Colorado Boulder.Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Public Affairs and Communications is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

Harvard Kennedy School Professor Robert Stavins and Professor Daniel Jacob of Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences are at the forefront of new efforts to monitor and control methane, a potent greenhouse gas. It used to seem like methane wasn't such a big deal. It was that other climate gas, the one that was the butt of cow flatulence jokes and that only stayed in the atmosphere for a decade or so. But since important global warming targets are now just 7 years away and science has developed a better understanding of both methane's pervasiveness and its potent role in warming the atmosphere, it's now very much on the front burner for increasingly concerned climate policymakers. The good news is that the science of monitoring methane emissions has taken huge leaps forward recently, thanks to advances in supercomputing, weather modeling, and satellite imaging, to the point where we could soon have daily real-time monitoring and measuring of methane emissions around the globe. Our two guests are playing an important role in that effort. Robert Stavins is an economist and the director of the Harvard Environmental Economics Project and the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements. Daniel Jacob was named the world's top environmental scientist last year by Research.com and his groundbreaking work has been instrumental in creating methane monitoring systems so precise they can track emissions to a specific company or another individual source—from space. Both say that the need to address the methane issue is urgent and that the countries of the world now have the wherewithal to get methane emissions under control. There are hopeful signs, including a major international agreement called the Global Methane Pledge, but the big question will be whether global leaders have the will to follow through.Robert Stavins is the A.J. Meyer Professor of Energy & Economic Development, Director of Graduate Studies for the Doctoral Programs in Public Policy and in Political Economy and Government, Cochair of the MPP/MBA and MPA/ID/MBA Joint Degree Programs.

Economist and Harvard Kennedy School Professor Joe Aldy says possibly the most complex—and one of the most existentially important—problems facing humanity is how to pull out the roots of fossil fuel infrastructure that are so deeply embedded in the global economy. The work is complex and the scale is immense; In fact it's been said that transitioning the global economy from fossil fuels to sustainable sources will require the largest reallocation of capital in human history. Meanwhile Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its willingness to weaponize oil and natural gas distribution was a sign to many that the green energy transition will be bumpy and buffeted by geopolitical crises and the domestic politics of countries around the world. Joe Aldy is here to help us swap our rose-colored glasses for a clear-eyed vision of what the future holds for the economics of climate.Joe Aldy is a Professor of the Practice of Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, a University Fellow at Resources for the Future, a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a Senior Adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He is also the Faculty Chair for the Regulatory Policy Program at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government.

On this episode I sat with Chairman Barrett of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. John A. Barrett, Jr. is a native of Shawnee, Oklahoma, and a graduate of Shawnee High School. His Potawatomi name is Keweoge, meaning, “He Leads Them Home.” Chairman Barrett has served as an elected official for the Citizen Potawatomi Nation since 1973 when he was first elected as Vice-Chairman. Tribal Chairman since 1985, Barrett is the eighth generation of his family to serve in elected office for CPN. Under his leadership, the Nation has gone from having assets totaling just $550 and less than three acres of land to an entity having an annual economic impact exceeding $550 million. During Chairman Barrett's administration, the Citizen Potawatomi Nation has experienced more than 15 percent average annual growth for more than 20 consecutive years. With more than 2,300 employees, Citizen Potawatomi Nation is the largest employer in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. He serves as the Chief Executive of the Tribe, presiding over the 16-member Tribal Legislature that enacts the laws and ordinances under which it is governed. His elected position as Tribal Chairman also requires him to direct the Tribe's administrative functions and commercial activities. He was instrumental in the creation and adoption of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation's current constitution and statutes, which have led to the Nation's extended period of stability and progress. He has guest lectured at Harvard University for the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development and at the Banff Center in Banff, Alberta, Canada, to the assembled Canadian First Nations on the same topics.

The more than $20 billion in federal pandemic aid to tribes provided welcome financial relief at a critical time. But a new analysis points out what the study's authors say is vastly inequitable distribution of that money. Scholars with the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development say flaws in the formula established to distribute the money are the main culprit and both the Biden and Trump administrations chose to ignore recommendations by tribes and others to make the allocations more equitable.
Host:This is Minnesota Native News. I'm Marie Rock. Coming up, applications for the 12th cohort of the Native Nations Rebuilders Program are now open. The program is operated by the Native Governance Center, and the Native American Community Clinic in Minneapolis is now requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for its health center staff. Here's reporter Leah Lemm with these stories.Reporter:Native Nations Rebuilders, the two year leadership development program, begins this coming December. It was developed to meet the leadership gap identified by Tribal leaders in Native Governance Center's service area. The service area is the 23 Native nations of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. Pearl Walker-Swaney is the Program Manager at Native Governance Center.Pearl Walker-Swaney:We support Native leaders to rebuild their nations through leadership development and tribal government support. And a lot of our work is around strengthening governments, and we believe that by strengthening governments, we are creating a direct pathway to improve quality of life for Native people.Reporter:Native Nations Rebuilders is based on research done by the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development and its principles of nation building.Pearl Walker-Swaney:You get to understand this history of governance and leadership from pre-contact, for example, through policies, such as the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act, to modern day governments. And so you get this spectrum of changes in leadership, changes in governing styles, and maybe have a better understanding of some of the issues that you see in your own community and how governance can be a solution.Reporter:Pearl also notes participants deepen their understanding and connection to their own personal story and identify what their values are. Come December, there will be over 200 graduates from 11 cohorts, and with COVID-19 pandemic recommendations changing frequently, they're still determining the best format and locations for the 2022 program dates. For now, Pearl says that the program is scheduled to be in-person for 2022.Reporter:Applications are now open. More information about the Native Nations Rebuilders Program from the Native Governance Center can be found online at Nativegov.org or on their social media pages.Reporter:Next, the Native American Community Clinic, or NACC, in Minneapolis, announced that it is now requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for its health center staff. President and CEO of NACC, Dr. Antony Stately, says it wasn't an easy decision to make, but putting action to words was necessary.Dr Antony Stately:This is something I've been thinking about and discussing with leadership, including our board and also folks in the community who are leaders. And I've also been watching the news and have been watching and listening and listening sessions at the state and federal level about the variant and all these other kinds of things that are going on with respect to the pandemic.Reporter:When it comes down to it, the vaccine requirement is aligned with the mission of the clinic.Dr Antony Stately:NACC has a mission, and as part of that mission, a core value is for us to show up and be a good relative to everybody in our community. And I think that a core principle of that, of being a good relative, is to do your part, to protect others, and to not necessarily place your own wellbeing in front of the wellbeing of the crew, or the nation, or the people, right? We have a responsibility to the whole, and we have a responsibility to the future generations.Reporter:For Minnesota Native News, I'm Leah Lemm.
In our latest episode, we welcome a special guest, Dr. Robert Stowe, executive director of the Harvard Environmental Economics Program, and co-director of the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements. He helps us debunk common myths and preconceptions regarding climate change, and tackle some big questions and niche areas - is the onus on the government or us as individuals to make an impact on climate change, to how does agriculture play a role? Tune in to hear Dr. Stowe’s take on it all and his work!

Collectively, tribes will need about $50 billion to adequately address the COVID 19 pandemic and to make up for lost revenue. That’s an estimate from the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development. The current stimulus package provides $10 billion for tribes and the federal administrations that work with them. And already there are disagreements about how the money is distributed. We’ll hear more about the questions and concerns over the effort to provide coronavirus relief funds in the hands of those who need it.

The New York Times called it one of the worst outcomes in a quarter-century of climate negotiations. United Nations Secretary General António Guterres said the international community "lost an important opportunity to show increased ambition on mitigation, adaptation and finance to tackle the climate crisis” at the recent UN Climate Summit in Madrid.But Harvard Kennedy School Professor Robert Stavins says global climate negotiators still accomplished something important last month at the COP25 conference—because of what they didn't do. Instead of approving lax rules full of loopholes that big polluting countries like Brazil and Australia were, negotiators held the line and pushed off a decision until next year's meeting in Scotland.Stavins, the A.J. Meyer Professor of Energy & Economic Development and director of both the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements and the Harvard Environmental Economics Program, tells host Thoko Moyo that getting workable economic solutions in place to combat the climate crisis is essential, because fundamentally the crisis was caused by economic activity. Stavins says his latest research shows that both carbon tax and cap-and-trade schemes can work, as long as they are well-designed.For more on Professor Stavins' thoughts on the COP25 summit and his research, check out his blog: An Economic View of the Environment.

Since the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, conspiratorial thinking has taken deep root in contemporary Russia, moving from the margins to the forefront of cultural, historical, and political discourse and fueled by centuries-long prejudices and new paranoias. In his characteristically witty, irreverent style, Eliot Borenstein (Professor of Russian & Slavic Studies, Collegiate Professor in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Acting Chair of East Asian Studies, and Senior Academic Convenor for the Global Network at New York University), draws on popular fiction, television, internet, public political pronouncements, religious literature, and other materials to trace the origins, history, and modern manifestations of Russian konspirologiia in Plots Against Russia: Conspiracy and Fantasy after Socialism (Cornell University Press, 2019). We discuss popular conspiracy theories such as the Harvard Project and the Dulles Plan, why and how conspiratorial thinking has flourished in post-Soviet Russia, the dynamics of paranoia and melodrama and the roles of anti-Semitism and homophobia in framing and shaping conspiracy theories, the construct of Russophobia as a key element in nationalist ideology, and the influence of the changing U.S.-Russia relationship on konspirologiia in recent years. Diana Dukhanova is Visiting Assistant Professor of Russian at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. Her work focuses on religion and sexuality in Russian cultural history, and she is currently working on a monograph about Russian religious philosopher Vasily Rozanov.

Jim Gray is Osage. Not only is he Osage, he is the former Principal Chief. Jim is one of the few (so far) elected leaders to appear on NextGen Native. Jim served two terms as Principal Chief from 2002-2010. During that time, he led significant reforms to the Osage government, eliminating almost one hundred years of U.S. government say in who was an Osage. I’ve shied away from interviewing elected leaders on NextGen Native. The reason is there are so many people serving or working in Indian Country that are not elected leaders that I thought they needed a spotlight of their own. However, I think Jim’s story as a former leader, in particular one who accomplished what he did as a young leader, is worth sharing his story. It’s amazing to see how small events cascade and facilitate into life changing moments. Jim did not seriously consider college until he realized he could play tennis at the collegiate level. Sport is what pushed Jim into college and set him on his course. Jim's first job was with his tribe as a grant writer. Eventually he found a job in the newspaper business where he found the work suited him. He continued working for the Tahlequah Daily Press for about ten years. An opportunity arose to buy his own newspaper, the Native American Times. At the time, there were only a few papers in Indian Country that were not owned and published by tribes.The Times was able to cover all tribal issues in Oklahoma and across Indian Country with a unique viewpoint. Jim Gray ran for office after a controversial time in Osage politics. He wrote a piece that described the need for a serious alternative candidate. After reading this piece, tribal members urged Jim to run. Jim won by a handful of votes. And just like that a tribal leader was created. Jim dove into the work of reforming the Osage government. Under his leadership, the tribe was able to enact a law at the federal level to pave the way for tribal reforms, create a commission to consider the reforms, draft a constitution, and enact it despite small pockets of resistance in the tribe. The reforms were recognized by the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development Honoring Nations program. He accomplished this as someone that had never run for office. Jim finished third in the 2010 election. It took him some time to adjust to life outside of office. It included a stint in DC. But ultimately, he needed time away to realize what he accomplished while in office, and to appreciate life outside office. For anyone looking to enact big changes-his story is one worth listening to and studying. For the rest of Jim’s story, check out the episode.
Professor Robert Stavins, Director of the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements out of the Kennedy School’s Belfer Center, explains why the COP21 in Paris is a critical step in addressing anthropogenic global climate change. He discusses the history of past climate summits and lays out both his markers for success and potential impediments to a deal. More from Professor Stavins and other Kennedy School scholars can be found at http://hkscop21paris.tumblr.com.
This seminar was given by Christina Figueres, Executive Secretary, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on September 27, 2013. The event was hosted by the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements and the Harvard University Center for the Environment.
